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

Wan Xue and Lu Xiaotao were supposed to cook the next day, but with Wan Xue's permission, Bai Lingling joined the group.

There were already conflicts between Lu Xiaotao and Bai Lingling, and Wan Xue added Bai Lingling in without her consent. Lu Xiaotao had a cold face all morning, and before going to work, she found Fan Lanfang and switched groups with her.

Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing didn't dare to breathe that morning. They quickly washed up and went out to work. They didn't even dare to speak while eating breakfast.

Wan Xue's expression was not very good either. She tried to talk to Lu Xiaotao several times and explain why she did this, but Lu Xiaotao avoided her.

The eerie atmosphere lasted for a whole day.

In the evening, after finishing their meal, Song Shuangshuang and her brother hurried out. They had to go to the village chief and the team leader's house to give gifts.

Yes, she and Song Youlin found something to give as gifts in the supermarket.

This has to go back to last night. After the lights were turned off, the brother and sister "met" at the supermarket as agreed and walked through the open areas together, looking carefully. Then, Song Youlin found canned fruits, glass bottles, and tin cans.

The brother and sister squatted on the ground to discuss which kind of canned food would be suitable as a gift, and finally decided on a tin can.

The label can be torn off, and the production date printed on the can can also be scraped off directly.

The two of them did what they said. They took out four bottles of canned yellow peaches, squatted on the ground, and carefully scraped off the production date with a stone. They said they got them from the food factory in their hometown, and everyone understood.

After processing, I put the two bottles back into the space and took them out when I arrived at the captain's house.

Seeing Song Youlin holding a can in each hand, Song Shuangshuang instructed him to go back to the educated youth camp to get a bag, but he was in a hurry and forgot to do so. He couldn't just go to the village chief with two cans in his hand, even a fool would know what that meant.

After putting the canned food into the bag, Song Shuangshuang still felt that it was inappropriate. His brother went to see the village chief with a bag on his back late at night...it would be noticeable.

I simply put the bags and cans in the space, and took them out when I was about to reach the village chief's house when no one was around.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief's wife was washing clothes in the yard. When she saw Song Shuangshuang coming with her brother, she wiped her hands and went to the door to greet them.

"Song Zhiqing is here. Is he here to look for your village chief uncle? Your uncle is resting in the house."

The village head's wife noticed that Song Youlin was carrying a bag and guessed two points. She shouted into the house, "Old man, Song Zhiqing is here to see you."

Song Shuangshuang smiled politely at the village head's wife and said, "Sorry to bother you, auntie."

The village head's wife said, "What's the big deal? Come in quickly." Then she led the brother and sister into the main room.

The village chief was leaning on the kang and smoking when he heard his wife say someone was looking for him. He went out of the house. Seeing Song Shuangshuang and her brother coming to look for him, he felt nervous. Could it be that something happened at the educated youth camp again?

But seeing that there was no anxious look on their faces, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn't know why the brother and sister came to him, so he asked his wife to pour two bowls of water.

"Come, sit down and talk."

Song Shuangshuang repeatedly said that there was no need to pour water for them, and at the same time signaled Song Youlin to take out the cans.

The village chief looked at the two cans on the table and knew that the brother and sister had something to ask of him. He frowned and said, "What are you two doing? Take the things back quickly. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will do whatever I can for you. You don't need to take the things."

The village chief's wife brought two bowls of water and placed them on the table, then told the brother and sister to take their things back.

If Song Shuangshuang really accepted the things, she would be a fool.

"Uncle Village Chief, my sister and I do have something to trouble you with.

I won't hide it from you. My brother was supposed to go to the countryside by himself, but someone secretly went to the Youth Office to register for me in order to take my job, and beat us up. My injury was minor, and I was discharged from the hospital in a few days, but my brother was cut open to protect me. He was rescued twice before he woke up, and he stayed in the hospital for a long time.

My parents heard that the village where I went to work had a good atmosphere, kind-hearted villagers, and reasonable leaders, so they specially found someone to bring my brother to our Jiangjia Village.

Thinking that he could recover well and that we could take care of each other, my parents specifically asked my brother to take this can of food before he went to the countryside. "

After Song Shuangshuang finished speaking, she made a tearful expression and lowered her head to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Song Youlin: “…” Does he want to cooperate?

The village head's wife listened to this and thought to herself, no wonder the brother and sister both went to the countryside. No wonder I've heard people say that Xiao Song, the educated youth, didn't get as many work points as his sister these days. It turned out that he was injured and hasn't recovered yet.

The village chief seemed to be thinking about how credible Song Shuangshuang's words were. After a while, he spoke

"Song Zhiqing can first tell us what he wants to do. Of course, returning to the city is definitely impossible." He doesn't have that power.

"I want to move out with my brother."

The village chief's expression turned serious, and he asked, "You want to move out of the educated youth camp? Why? There is no precedent in our village for educated youth to move out and live alone."

Song Shuangshuang didn't plan to tell the village chief about the Youth Home. She only said that her brother still had headaches occasionally and she was afraid of disturbing the other male educated youths. Besides, his family might mail some supplements to him, so it was really inconvenient to stay in the Youth Home.

He also mentioned in a vague way what happened at the educated youth point last time.

The village chief took two puffs of his pipe, his expression not very approving, and told Song Shuangshuang to go back and think about it carefully.

Song Shuangshuang saw that the village chief's attitude had softened a little, so she continued

"Uncle, I came to you after thinking it over. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and I want my brother to take good care of his health. Otherwise, I'm afraid that he won't be able to handle the harvest, which will affect the progress of the village's harvest."

The village head's wife was sitting nearby. She glanced at her old man's expression and said, "Song Zhiqing, have you two really thought it through? Where are you going to live when you move out? You two have to prepare everything for your daily life, which will cost a lot of money, not to mention the issue of where you two will live."

The village head's wife was here to persuade Song Shuangshuang and her brother, and the village head was also observing their expressions.

Seeing that Song Shuangshuang had already planned out the questions raised by his wife, he knew that this girl had already planned it out and was just waiting for his nod.

The village chief remained calm and continued smoking. He wanted to hear what this girl was planning.

Song Shuangshuang glanced at the village chief secretly, and there was no expression on his face.

"I saw an empty yard in the village before, so I asked Aunt Wang about it. She said that the yard had been uninhabited for a long time and was now under the management of the village. I wondered if I could rent it."

When the village chief and his wife heard about the empty yard, they were a little confused. Where are the empty houses in the village now?

After thinking for a long time, the village chief's wife finally remembered what Song Shuangshuang was talking about, and told the village chief that it was Jiang Laosan's house.

"That house is so dilapidated that it's completely uninhabitable. How are you going to live there? The village won't spend money to repair the house for you." The village chief thought Song Shuangshuang was thinking too simply.

Seeing that the village chief did not directly object to their being allowed to stay, Song Shuangshuang knew that there would probably be no problem.

"I don't need to take money from the village. As long as you, the village chief, agree to let me move out, I can pay for the repairs myself."
