Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

"What happened in the village again?" Song Shuangshuang also understood why the aunts were so excited every time they ate melons.

There are only so many people in the village, and everyone sees each other every day, so they are quite familiar with each other. There is no TV in the village, and there is no other entertainment except chatting in the threshing ground after work and dinner every night. Isn't it just relying on these gossips to enrich life?

"My husband said that more educated youth will come to the village."

Song Shuangshuang was stunned. Did the original book say that more educated youth would come to Jiangjia Village? Why did she remember that two more educated youth came to Jiangjia Village half a year after Bai Lingling came? Could she have remembered it wrongly? "Aunt Wang, how did you know?"

Aunt Wang groaned, "Didn't my husband come back at noon and see Old Wu driving the donkey cart with the village chief out again? Except in the winter when the roads are difficult to travel due to snow, the village chief always rides a bicycle to the town. That is when the educated youth go to the town, he asks Old Wu to drive the donkey cart to pick them up. Old Wu was called away by the village chief before he had time to go home for dinner. He was so angry that he kept cursing. Later, the village chief went home and took two steamed buns made of 200 grams of flour, and then Old Wu calmed down."

Song Shuangshuang curiously asked Aunt Wang how she knew so many details, even knowing that the village chief gave steamed buns to Grandpa Wu.

Aunt Chang rolled her eyes at Aunt Wang and said, "Don't listen to Aunt Wang. I told her that. The village head's wife was delivering steamed buns and happened to pass by my house. She told me that."

Before they could say a word, the team leader came again. Song Shuangshuang winked at the two aunts and lowered her head to start working. The aunts also walked away after receiving the hint.

Song Shuangshuang thought for a long time but couldn't think of who would come to the Youth League Center at this time. Except for her, who was an accident, everyone else in the Youth League Center came according to the progress of the original book. Shaking her head, she didn't think too much. She had to ask the team leader when she could have a rest tonight, and if not, she would ask for leave.

After recording the work points in the evening and going home, Song Shuangshuang was taking care of the vegetable garden when the village chief came to the educated youth site with his men.

"Is Feng the educated youth here?" Feng Aiguo happened to be at the educated youth point. When he heard the village chief calling him, he came out. "This is a new educated youth. Please make arrangements for him. Just like before, let him take a day off tomorrow and go to the village committee office to collect food rations in the afternoon."

"Okay, Village Chief, I understand."

Feng Aiguo sent the village chief out and came back to take the new male educated youth back to the boys' dormitory.

"Hello, Mr. Feng, is there a young man named Song Shuangshuang at the young man's station?"

The vegetable garden of the educated youth site was behind the dormitory. Song Shuangshuang happened to be returning to the front yard after watering the vegetables. She was quite curious when she heard her own name. The voice sounded familiar.

When she heard the voice and looked, she was stunned...her brother?

The new educated youth was Song Youlin.

"Sister!" Song Youlin raised his leg and walked towards Song Shuangshuang.

Song Shuangshuang stood there stupidly. She didn’t know why, but she always felt something was wrong. This person... was her brother?

Song Youlin from this world? Or Song Youlin from the original world?

She felt that this person was the Song Youlin she was familiar with, her younger brother.

"Silly brother?"

"You have such a bad mouth!" Song Youlin did not hug Song Shuangshuang, but spoke with gritted teeth.

This familiar tone made Song Shuangshuang feel much more relaxed. This man was indeed her familiar brother. No one else said this to her except him. She missed him a lot. She walked up to him and wanted to hug him.

As a result, Song Youlin took several steps back and said, "I don't want to hug you, please don't trick me."

Song Shuangshuang quickly stepped forward and grabbed Song Youlin's arm, "Ha! You don't want to hug me yet, and I don't want to hug you yet!" Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.

Song Youlin didn't care about his arm being pinched by his sister, it didn't hurt anyway.

"Don't cry." He wanted to take out a tissue from his pocket, but when he reached into his pocket, he remembered that he had also traveled through time, and there was no tissue in this era. He was about to wipe his sister with his hands.

With a 'pa' sound, Song Shuangshuang slapped away the hand that was about to reach her face, and said angrily, "Are your hands clean? How dare you touch my face, silly brother." After saying that, she burst into laughter.

Song Shuangshuang was so disgusted by Song Youlin that he rubbed his hands on Song Shuangshuang's clothes, then raised his hands to wipe his sister's tears, and said with a grin, "My hands are clean this time." Wanyuan wiped his tears on Song Shuangshuang's clothes again.

Song Shuangshuang: "..."

Feng Aiguo, who was standing in the courtyard, looked confused. He hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "You two... know each other?" Are they a revolutionary couple? Or...?

Although the brother and sister still had a lot to say, the educated youth would be back for dinner soon, and this was not the place to talk, and Feng Aiguo was watching there.

"Feng Zhiqing, this is my brother Song Youlin." Song Shuangshuang admitted generously.

Feng Aiguo knew that he had misjudged the idea just now, and thought that the two were in that kind of relationship. He spoke a little unnaturally, "We'll have dinner soon. I'll take Song Zhiqing to put the things away first, and you two can catch up later." After that, he helped Song Youlin pick up a piece of luggage.

"Then I'll trouble your Mr. Feng." Song Youlin picked up another piece of luggage and followed Feng Aiguo back to the boys' dormitory.

Song Shuangshuang went to the kitchen. Today it was Tan Anjing and Lu Xiaotao's turn to cook, but she didn't know how far they had come. If she went over now, it would be too late to prepare food for one more person.

In the kitchen, Tan Anjing was kneading dough. She was going to make shredded beans and potatoes tonight, and put some corn cakes on them. Seeing Song Shuangshuang coming in, Tan Anjing put down the water scoop and asked, "Shuangshuang, are you hungry? Just wait a little longer. The cakes haven't been put on yet."

After spending more than half a month together, the two people are no longer like they were when they first came, calling each other Song Zhiqing and Tan Zhiqing every day, but just calling each other by their names.

If I hadn't seen Song Shuangshuang come into the kitchen, I would have thought she was hungry.

Song Shuangshuang shook her head, took a bowl and scooped some cornmeal from her grain bag and handed it to Tan Anjing, saying, "Add some more flour and make two more pancakes."

Lv Xiaotao was peeling garlic nearby and asked curiously, "Are you not full?"

Song Shuangshuang was a little helpless. She didn't have that big an appetite and there was a pile of potatoes in the pot.

"My brother is here, and what I just took was his share."

"Ah?" Tan Anjing's hand shook as she poured the water, and there was too much water. "It's over, I poured too much water!"

Lu Xiaotao threw down the half-peeled garlic and hurried over to take a look. Seeing that there was obviously more water in the basin, her eyes twitched. "Tan Anjing! Who told me that the task of cooking today was given to you, and didn't let me get involved?" Lu Xiaotao covered her head, thinking about how to make amends.

Tan Anjing felt a little aggrieved. "Didn't Shuangshuang say her brother was here? I was surprised for a moment, and my hands shook, so there was more water."

The pot almost fell on him, and Song Shuangshuang leaned over to see how much extra water there was. This made him feel relieved. "It's okay, it's not a big problem." He picked up the basin and poured out some of the water that had not yet mixed with the cornmeal. He took some flour from his ration bag and added it in. He stopped when he saw that it was almost done. "It's okay, you can continue. The extra will be my brother's ration for tomorrow's day." After finishing, he poured the remaining flour back into the bag.

"Oh, OK." Tan Anjing took the basin and tried to continue cooking. Just when she was halfway through, Lu Xiaotao took it away. She didn't dare to let Tan Anjing cook the main dish, so she asked her to help.

"Come on, you should just peel the garlic while I make the pancakes." After saying that, he started kneading the dough quickly and opened the lid of the pot to see how the dish was stewing. Seeing that it needed to stew for a while, he covered the pot again and added some firewood to the stove.

The two of them felt ashamed and in awe. Looking at the other person's skillful movements, they wondered why they couldn't compare to him.
