Chapter 115 The newcomer is here
The issue of dividing the kitchen soon came to a conclusion. Although the male educated youth were reluctant, the female educated youth were obviously unwilling to continue to suffer losses. They were also afraid that if the matter got out of hand, the villagers would come and laugh at them, so they could only accept the reality with a gloomy face.
Xue Li quacked, "Finally, it's starting to look good." She had complained about the disgusting rules in the front yard several times before, and this time someone finally stood up to resist. She couldn't help but change her opinion of Fang Qianqian. It shows that people's lives cannot remain unchanged forever. Something is happening every moment in life, and even the smallest thing may affect other people's decisions.
Jiang Yu nodded indifferently. Change is a good thing, but it doesn't mean that she will forget what happened before.
No matter what everyone in the educated youth camp feels like, as the temperature rises and the land thaws, the busyness of the new year is about to begin.
However, before everyone started working, Zhuang Shouren brought his men to the compound of the educated youth center.
Jiang Yu was observing the brand new pipe in the room. She was very interested in the patterns and designs on it. The simple and exquisite designs were very attractive.
When Xue Li came and knocked on the door to say that a new educated youth had arrived, she stuffed the pipe back into the space, put on her coat and went out.
"They come at this time? It seems they are unlucky. It is very tiring to open the land." Jiang Yu closed the door and went to the front yard with Xue Li.
In fact, the educated youth who came during the spring and autumn harvest periods had a very hard time, as they had no buffer period at all.
The male and female educated youth in the backyard came out one after another and went to the front yard to welcome the new educated youth.
The new person in charge of the educated youth site had not yet been chosen. The older male educated youth wanted to recommend Zhao Chunjiang because he was strong and could often hunt rabbits or something to supplement their meals.
The others did not benefit from it and were not familiar with Zhao Chunjiang, so they did not agree. The matter came to a standstill.
There were three new educated youth this time, two men and one woman.
Jiang Yu and Xue Li leaned against the pillar at the entrance of the alley and observed the new educated youth. Several male educated youth nearby were also watching.
Xue Li held his chest with an inexplicable look on his face and whispered to Jiang Yu, "My heart is beating so fast, I feel like something bad is going to happen."
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, thinking that there might be conflicts between the new educated youth and Xue Li.
When she and Xue Li and the others first met, she felt that Xue Li and Chen Jinghan were very likely to be the male and female protagonists of the novel. Because from their looks, abilities, and Chen Jinghan's family background, they really met the criteria of the male and female protagonists.
But a novel cannot have only the male and female protagonists, there must also be supporting roles. However, during the time they were in the countryside, there had been no vicious female supporting characters around them, and there were no top-notch people around Xue Li, so she put this idea aside for the time being.
After all, novels are novels, and they all live in the real world.
She had almost put this idea behind her, but when she suddenly saw the new educated youth with an oval face and a very delicate smile, Jiang Yu's original idea popped up again.
The female supporting role appeared! The subsequent development was just as Jiang Yu had expected.
When the young woman saw Chen Jinghan, her eyebrows curved and she walked over with a smile on her face, "Brother Jinghan, I'm Lin Anna, I wonder if you still remember me?"
Chen Jinghan got goosebumps from being called that, and was completely confused, "??? Who?"
"My father is Lin Jianshe. He works under Uncle Jiang." Lin Anna did not elaborate on his father's position. She only said who the leader was and gave a vague introduction.
Chen Jinghan probably knew who the Uncle Jiang she was talking about was. Uncle Jiang Min was a general under Old Man Chen, and had been scolded by his father several times because of his explosive temper. He knew Jiang Min, but who was Lin Jianshe?
"Brother Jinghan, don't you remember? It doesn't matter. Let's just treat it as getting to know each other again. Hello, I'm Lin Anna, from City B, and I'm 17 years old." Lin Anna introduced herself cheerfully and generously, and took out a letter from the package and handed it over, "This is what Aunt Chen asked me to pass on. It's for you."
Chen Jinghan frowned. What the hell is this letter? What letter can't be sent through the post office? Although he had many questions, he still reached out to take the letter.
Lin Anna was no longer talking to Chen Jinghan alone. She turned around and greeted everyone, "Hello everyone, I'm Lin Anna. I hope you can take care of me in the next period of time."
She had a face that represented peace and prosperity, and her smile was extremely contagious. Even though the educated youth present were not familiar with her, they couldn't help but feel a liking for her.
Jiang Yu still had no expression on his face, but Xue Li subconsciously showed a kind smile and said to Lin Anna, "Hello, I'm Xue Li, we are the same age and from the same place, what a coincidence."
Lin Anna remained calm, and when she saw that she took the initiative to talk, she smiled at her, "Really? I thought I was the youngest in the educated youth center! Then we can be friends, we should have a lot of common topics~"
Jiang Yu was puzzled, so why emphasize the smallest?
Xue Li waved her hand and said, "Jiang Yu is the youngest. She is one year younger than us." She pointed to the tall and thin girl behind her and introduced her to Lin Anna.
Lin Anna's eyes flickered for a moment, "Wow, she's so tall! I thought she was the older sister, but it turns out she's the younger sister! Hello Jiang Yu, may I ask, how can I grow as tall as you?"
Jiang Yu had been staring at her, so he naturally didn't miss the doubt in her eyes. However, he thought she was just wondering about his height, so he just replied calmly, "I eat a lot and exercise a lot."
Here, Lin Anna was chatting with Jiang Yu and his group in a friendly manner, so the old educated youth in the front yard had to greet the remaining two male educated youth.
Guan Wenbin moved out of the front yard, leaving a vacant bed in the room. However, Zhuang Shouren thought that since there were two people coming, and Zhao Chunjiang's room in the back yard had just been occupied by Luo Chengli last year, the two might as well live in the front yard. He told Liu Qiang, who lived alone, and asked the two men to move their things into the room next to the kitchen.
Liu Qiang's face suddenly turned dark. It would be fine if they just stuffed one, but why did they stuff two into his room?
However, the village still had the final say on how the educated youth would live, and he had no reason to object.
"Lin Anna, you and He Yuanchao live together." Zhuang Shouren interrupted Lin Anna and directly assigned the room, grumbling. He was impatient to wait and had to go back to the brigade headquarters to work.
Lin Anna seemed a little surprised, but turned around and nodded with a smile, "Okay, Captain, thank you for your help."
Zhuang Shouren was not blind, so he naturally saw the dark look on her face just now. He was too lazy to argue with her, so he turned around and left, calling out Jiang Yu before leaving.
Jiang Yu has long legs and follows him in a few steps. "What's the matter?"
"The brick kiln has started making bricks. This year, they will be mainly used by the villagers, but we still prefer to pay them with work points." Zhuang Shouren took her out of the yard and talked to her under a tree beside the straight road.
Jiang Yu nodded. So what? Why did you call her?
"You were in charge of building the brick kiln, and the village benefited greatly from it. Although your focus is still on the fields, you still have to keep your share. So we discussed it and decided to give you one-tenth of the profit from buying bricks when we calculate the work points at the end of the year."
Zhuang Shouren said to her, "This should be given to you. Bricks are not easy to get outside. In the past, villagers used to use clay bricks made at home, which are far inferior to those produced by brick kilns. You have done a good thing for the village, and we are grateful. Of course, we should give you something in return. Those work points are really not much. In my opinion, they are not worth the kindness of those two brick kilns."
