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

Chapter 70: Does your behavior count as peeping into other people's privacy?

Aunt Chang saw that Song Shuangshuang didn't mind spending more money, so she had an idea in mind.

"I'll ask my husband and eldest brother to help you, and find a few people whose family conditions are not very good but who are reliable. Do you think it's okay?" Aunt Chang thought that they were all from the same village, so she would help whenever she could, but she would not cheat Song Shuangshuang.

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Guan, but I don't know how much it will cost. I have to buy the stuff myself."

This was not a place to talk, so Aunt Chang asked everyone to go to her house and tell her husband whatever they wanted to do and let him do the math.

As soon as she entered the yard, Aunt Chang shouted at the top of her voice, asking Carpenter Guan to come to the front yard.

Song Shuangshuang thought, I wonder if Xiao Tiedan got beaten up, cough...

Aunt Chang gave Carpenter Guan a general idea and asked Song Shuangshuang to state her requirements, without giving Carpenter Guan a chance to speak.

"Aunt, do I need my uncle to go take a look at the yard? Otherwise, he won't know what it looks like and won't be able to calculate the materials for me."

Aunt Chang also reacted, patted her thigh, and told Carpenter Guan to go out.

"Yeah, that's right. You know where Jiang San's house is, right? Let's go check it out."

Song Shuangshuang didn't expect that Aunt Chang would ask Carpenter Guan to go and see it now, so she quickly said no, there was no rush.

"It's okay, let your uncle go. He's free anyway, and you can buy materials earlier." Aunt Chang didn't care at all and asked Carpenter Guan to bring a flashlight so that he could see more clearly.

Carpenter Guan "..." Just as he sat down, he had to get up again. Without complaining, he went out with a flashlight.

I don’t know what to say to Song Shuangshuang. Maybe... he’s henpecked?

The two aunts introduced a few people to Song Shuangshuang, all of whom were hardworking and down-to-earth men in the village. They also asked Song Shuangshuang if he would take care of the meals, and if so, who would he hire to cook. Anyway, the money spent on labor was about the same.

Song Shuangshuang thought it would be better not to cook because she didn’t have a pot!

Besides, my aunt said that the family conditions of the man she was looking for were not that well-off, so she thought it was more practical to give money.

"Aunt, I'll just give you the money. I can't get any vegetables while I'm living in the educated youth camp. As for the wages, I'll decide after my uncle comes back. I don't know how long it will take now."

Although it is not yet the time for autumn harvest, the villagers still have to work during the day, so it is estimated that they will repair her house after they get off work in the evening.

"Okay, don't rush back to the Youth Hostel. Just wait for your uncle to come back here. I'll figure out what to buy for you today, and I'll find someone to go there for you tomorrow."

Aunt Chang held Song Shuangshuang and wouldn't let her leave, but she was thinking that the brother and sister must have been bullied in the Youth League Home, otherwise why would they be in such a hurry to move out without even saying they were going to move out before.

"It's a good idea for you two to move out. Just look at what happened last time. Humph. They're not much better than those educated youth before. If you have any problems after you move out, come find auntie. It's not far away."

Aunt Wang still remembers that incident. They are so petty. Do they think anyone would be interested in their little food?

Don’t you even check whether you earn enough to eat?

Song Shuangshuang was somewhat touched by the concern of her two aunts.

"Aunt, I came to bother you when I had something to do, and you are still so kind to me."

Aunt Chang touched Song Shuangshuang's hair and said, "We don't care about you or anyone else. Forget about anything else. Look at other educated youths who are like you. They greet everyone with a smile every day. You think of yourself as a villager. How can I not treat you well? I wish you were my daughter!"

"Yes, I treat you like my own daughter." Who wouldn't like such a good daughter?

Of course, it was also because those educated youth were so annoying. Didn’t you see that Old Wu stood up for her? People in the village also talked about this a lot.

Song Shuangshuang felt that this was the character of the people in Jiangjia Village. It had been more than a month since I came to the countryside, and I had never heard my aunt say that there were second-rate people in the village and that I should stay away from them.

She said hello to the villagers to leave a good impression, but they also responded enthusiastically. You treated me warmly, I can't just turn my back on you.

Feelings are mutual.

Song Shuangshuang likes Jiangjia Village more and more, and thinks it is a good decision to come to the countryside.

"I'm back." Just when everyone was feeling moved, Carpenter Guan came back with a flashlight.

"Come here quickly and tell me how long it will take to repair it and what you need to buy." Aunt Chang didn't hesitate for a second.

Guan the carpenter: “…” Can’t he be allowed to rest for a while.

Song Shuangshuang briefly told Carpenter Guan about her idea. The toilet must be rebuilt, and it would be best to build a shower area. The specific details would have to be worked out when they got there.

Carpenter Guan roughly calculated and told Song Shuangshuang that according to her requirements, the materials would cost about 50 yuan. If she wanted to move in earlier, she could find two more people to work with her.

Song Shuangshuang thought about it and decided to listen to Carpenter Guan.

Finally, it was decided that Guan Mujiang and Guan Jianjun would get the materials, and Aunt Wang would help find the workers. Song Shuangshuang was only responsible for making decisions and paying.

By the time all these were decided, it was already dark.

We will discuss the specific details of renovating the house when we go to the site tomorrow at noon, so that we can find someone to start the work in the evening.

The two aunts had a simple idea: the sooner the house was repaired, the sooner they could move out and avoid having to endure the humiliation.

Song Shuangshuang had no idea what her two aunts were thinking. If she knew, she would definitely explain that she was not bullied at all, but was simply dissatisfied with the educated youth for being too troublesome and was afraid of trouble coming to her.

Aunt Chang was afraid that the siblings couldn't see the way back, so she asked Guan Jianjun to send them back.

Song Shuangshuang didn't agree, but borrowed the flashlight from Aunt Chang's house.

There was no way, she couldn't see the road clearly.

After returning to the Youth League Home, Song Youlin was unsurprisingly sized up by the male Youth League members, who seemed to be trying to find out what secrets he was hiding.

Song Youlin pretended not to see it and continued doing what he was doing.

The next day, because it was Song Shuangshuang's turn to cook, she specifically told Aunt Chang when she went to work that she might have to come late for lunch.

At noon, the brother and sister finished their lunch and went to their "new home". The male educated youth was even more certain that Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin had a secret, and they discussed whether they should go with them to take a look.

Seeing Feng Aiguo and Ji Hongcai preparing to follow Cao Qi out, He Feiyang sat up from the kang and asked, "Does your behavior count as peeping into other people's privacy?" He thought Feng Aiguo, as the person in charge of the educated youth site, knew his limits, but he didn't expect him to be so confused.

What does the affairs of the siblings have to do with them?

Ji Hongcai smiled awkwardly and said, "We are worried that he needs help but is too embarrassed to tell us."

He Feiyang said sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic."

Ji Hongcai was a little embarrassed by what he said, but Feng Aiguo still acted like a good guy and tried to smooth things over. He said that he and Ji Hongcai wanted to go with them just because they were worried that the siblings might have encountered something, and there was no other intention.

Cao Qi just felt that He Feiyang was meddling in other people's business.

Not to mention whether they could keep up with Song Shuangshuang and her brother if they went out now, based on what He Feiyang said, the three of them were too embarrassed to go out. If they still followed them out, wouldn't it show that they had a problem with their character and were deliberately trying to pry into the privacy of Song Shuangshuang and her brother?

The three of them took off their shoes and lay back on the kang.

At this time, Bai Lingling was following behind the brother and sister. She couldn't suppress her curiosity and wanted to know what secret Song Shuangshuang had.

Bai Lingling thought she wouldn't be discovered since she was following far away, but she didn't know that Song Shuangshuang noticed her the moment she followed her out, and was deliberately letting her follow.
