Chapter 18 Willow Village
Chapter 18 Willow Village
"Gather quickly, don't keep the village chief waiting, they still have to be busy with spring planting."
Wang Panpan took out her cotton-padded jacket. Although it was spring, the weather here was not good. She was frozen to death yesterday. She made preparations early today and put on thick clothes in advance. She didn't know how those female educated youth in skirts got through.
She asked people around her and ran to the state-owned restaurant to buy breakfast. She bought enough for her to eat for several days and went back home satisfied. Fortunately, she had practiced speaking dialect in her previous life, otherwise, she would have wasted her time.
As expected, he was laughed at as soon as he entered the door. "Wang Panpan, you are such a disgrace, walking around outside in such ugly clothes, you country bumpkin who can't be on stage, where have you been?"
Chen Zhaodi was almost laughing to death, dressed like a ball, as if she had nothing to wear. Such a bumpkin who has never seen the world deserves to be laughed at.
"Haha, Sister Zhaodi, you really care about too many things.
I like to dress like this, and my health is not very good, I often catch colds and get sick, so I dress like this so as not to hold people back. Do you have any opinion about me?
Of course you have opinions but you keep them to yourself. I don't like to hear them. Otherwise, I will go to the leader and ask him if you are in charge of us and are going to be promoted? Otherwise, you are so powerful.
What does it have to do with you where I go? Are you mentally ill or an enemy spy, trying to gather information?"
Wang Panpan was amused, she was simply a fool. Although it was spring, in this place, the temperature was mostly zero degrees in the early morning. It was warm inside the house, but it was different outside. Chen Zhaodi was mocking her now, and she would cry later.
"Nonsense, I'm asking you because we came together and I'm just concerned about you. Don't wrongly accuse me, my family has been civilians for eight generations." Chen Zhaodi was scared to death, and her eyes clearly showed panic. If she didn't explain clearly, she would be labeled an enemy spy, and then the whole family would be in trouble.
“It’s better if you don’t provoke me again, otherwise I don’t know what will come out of my mouth.
After all, your behavior is very suspicious. Are you targeting me or do you have other purposes? "Wang Panpan did not pursue it too much, but just wanted to scare Chen Zhaodi. He always targeted her along the way, and she didn't know how she had offended him.
The others looked at the two people arguing thoughtfully, but ignored them. Li Pingping's eyes became more and more scrutinizing, and she looked at Wang Panpan as if she wanted to see a flower.
"Why are you looking at me? Haven't I washed my face?" She couldn't stand it. Who was looking at people like a wolf now? If it was a handsome guy, she could still accept it and maybe find a place to hide, but this was obviously someone who wanted to uncover her secrets!
Li Pingping was not scared, but found the words adorable, so she went back to the house with a smile.
As soon as she entered the house, she searched everywhere. She was so stupid that she forgot how cold it was in spring. Ma Juan and Wen Yi followed suit. They had made plans before coming down, but their physical fatigue and mental exhaustion made it difficult for them to think.
I thought I was just like at home! Fortunately, although Wang Panpan is small, he is quite smart.
Chen Zhaodi didn't know what they were planning in their eye contact, but everyone's eyes shifted to Wang Panpan, which made her secretly resentful. Along the way, she enjoyed the feeling of being the protagonist and didn't know that others disliked her chattering.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go." Sure enough, after a while someone came and took them to the intersection to wait for the village chief.
"We've arrived. Find a place to rest first. The head of Liulin Village will be here soon. If you want to have breakfast, go and have it quickly.
I'm going to take care of other things. You guys wait here and don't run around, or you won't be able to find me later." The person in charge yawned in the cold, and his breath was filled with white mist. He left after giving instructions.
Other educated youth also arrived one after another. I don’t know which villages they were from, but we didn’t pick up many last night, so most of them are still here.
"Wang Panpan, are you going to have breakfast?" Ma Juan was enthusiastic and bright. She always spoke without thinking and said whatever she wanted to say.
Wang Panpan was a little curious, but still declined. "You guys go ahead, I've already eaten this morning."
"Oh, you're so selfish that you don't even wake us up when you get up early." No one paid attention to what Chen Zhaodi said.
Ma Juan asked somewhat embarrassedly: "Then can you help us look after the luggage? I'll bring you some candy."
"Sure, I don't have anything to do here anyway. But no one will take these things. Even if someone does, I can't beat them with my small body. Come back quickly when you are done."
Wang Panpan didn't want to agree at first and didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but since the other party had said this and they would have to live together in the future, she couldn't be ruthless.
"Thank you." The two thanked him and left happily.
Li Pingping also wanted to go out for a walk, so she asked Wang Panpan to bring her some big buns. Li Pingping also agreed, and he left with He Jianguo.
As for Chen Zhaodi, she looked at the black steamed bun with a bad look, which was so cold and hard that Wang Panpan's teeth ached just by looking at it.
They waited and waited, but the village chief still hadn't come. The educated youth who had gone to buy things had all returned, and they were all getting impatient.
“Hey, most people from other villages have left, and I don’t know what’s going on with the head of Liulin Village. It’s so annoying. I can’t wait any longer.
Pingping, are you hungry? Why don't we go find something to eat first? " Chen Zhaodi really didn't know that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Maybe now that she has a backer, she is a little proud. Wang Panpan admires her brainless words.
"If you don't go, it will come."
Li Pingping knew that the village chief must have been anxious from waiting yesterday and wanted to give them a hard time today. After all, the educated youth were difficult to discipline and could not integrate with the villagers. She had seen enough of this in her previous life. Even if she married a villager, those people would always be on guard against her.
"Wait a little longer, maybe the village chief really has something urgent." Wen Yi held Ma Juan's hand and told her not to talk too much.
Wang Panpan remained silent, letting the quilt block the cold wind, which felt like a slap on her face. The village chief would eventually come.
"Why, you educated youth who went to the countryside to build the village, do you have such a problem with me as the village chief?
If you really have any objections, quickly ask your leaders to transfer you to other places. Our place is poor and cannot accommodate intellectuals like you." Suddenly, a man came out and mocked them mercilessly, with a loud voice that made Chen Zhaodi blush.
After all, saying bad things about others and getting caught is not a good thing.
He deserves to be scolded.
"Village chief, you misunderstood. She is just waiting anxiously. You are talking nonsense. We don't mean that. Can we go back with you now?" Li Pingping knew that the village chief was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, so she spoke quickly to ease the atmosphere. Otherwise, when would they go back?
"Let's go. I think you guys are reasonable people. Otherwise, I will report it to the leader."
"Village chief, please don't bother with us. I think our household registration will be registered with you, and then we will be a family!" Wang Panpan also spoke up quickly. As expected, Chen Zhaodi was causing trouble.
"Huh, you little kid, you're talking pretty well. Who asked you to come when you're so young? What can you do when you come? You'll ruin your health. If this place wasn't fertile, you'd starve to death."
"Ah? I am just lucky. My family signed up for it, so I have to obey the policy. Besides, it is also my dream to go to the countryside to build the motherland. Although I am not very capable, I will try my best."
Although the village chief was curious, he didn't want to explain in detail since he knew so many people. He just wanted to take good care of the child in the future and not let him starve to death.
He took a group of people with him, asked them to put their packages there, and he sat on the ox cart while the educated youth walked on the road.
I wanted to let the sensible child Wang Panpan go to the car, but when I was rejected, I didn’t say anything.
"Wow, village chief, is this Liulin Village? It's so beautiful. Your love and care have turned this place into a paradise. It's amazing." Li Pingping sighed sincerely. Every time she came here, although she felt isolated from the world and it was inconvenient to buy things, it was indeed a good place! It felt that the shortcomings could be ignored.
"You have a good eye, kid. We built this place.
In those years, when our hometown encountered disasters, we searched for food along the way and finally came to this place with mountains, water and land, which raised generations of people. "
"It's a great place. We are very lucky."
