Chapter 255 70 The Educated Youth Heroine's Excellent Sister-in-law 40
Xiao Yun: "You also said that Zhao Yaqin is a petty person, why would she let you go? Don't underestimate anyone, it's better to be prepared for everything."
Xiao Tiedan was stunned for a moment. Yes, he made the other party lose face in front of so many people that day, how could he let it go so easily? He probably just hadn't found the opportunity.
The incident with that female classmate came up, so he didn't have time to do it. Maybe by the time he returned, people would have taken action.
This time she nodded more seriously, "I understand, sis. I will be more careful."
Xiao Yun just wanted her to be more careful and not take it lightly. In fact, she had placed a talisman on him when he was a child. It was a small black jade pendant, and she had asked him to wear it all the time.
With this, even if someone really attacks him, they will not succeed. They will fail due to some strange combination of circumstances and will even backfire.
This was refined after she came here, and the energy used is not spiritual energy but evil power.
That's right, it was evil power. She got the inspiration from Bai Qiu. Since Bai Qiu would be attacked by the evil power if he helped those who had evil debts, it meant that the evil power was very aggressive and could strike accurately without implicating innocent people.
So she did the opposite and refined a magical weapon that used the power of evil, and used the power of evil to attack those who attacked her.
She has tried it and it is quite effective. As for where the evil power comes from, well, isn't there the mass grave at Erdaogang? If that doesn't work, there is also the prison.
If Zhao Yaqin really wanted to deal with her brother, it would be fine if it was just a minor fight that didn't hurt him and there wouldn't be any backlash. But if she wanted to hurt him or kill him, she would have to die.
"By the way, sister, there is a weird female educated youth in our village. I have run into her several times since I came back yesterday. She looked at me in a weird way, as if she knew me and wanted to say something to me, but I have never seen her before."
"Who is it? Which female educated youth?" Grandpa and grandma Xiao asked in confusion.
They didn't know, but Xiao Yun knew who he was talking about as soon as he heard it, "You're talking about Xu Qian, right? I saw her looking at Tiedan today."
Grandma Xiao said quickly: "Don't pay attention to her. She has bad intentions. She can't do anything right after she comes here. She even finds excuses to avoid work. Grandma Pangdun told me that she had asked about you before. It seems that she wants to find someone with good conditions to marry.
I heard recently that she found the youngest son of the captain's family and the date is almost set. I didn't expect that she would set her sights on you again."
Xiao Yun continued, "He must have seen that Tiedan's conditions were better than Zhang Quanlai's, so he wanted to try to flirt with him. If he took the bait, he could follow you back to the city."
Xiao Tiedan was puzzled. "Aren't educated youth free to return to the city? If you don't want to work in the countryside, just go back. Why bother?"
Xiao Yun shook his head. "Why do you think they came here? Do you really believe that they came here to build the countryside? They came here because life in the city is not easy, their families either have no place to live or their families are in financial difficulties, so they want to go to the countryside.
There are subsidies for going to the countryside. Whether they leave it at home or bring it with them, it is enough for them to live a good life for a while.
Besides, at least the living space in our countryside is much more spacious than in the city. In the city, many families have more than a dozen people living in two rooms. Can you imagine how they live? The beds are stacked up one on top of another, sometimes with four or five layers.”
Xiao Tiedan opened his eyes wide, "Really? I haven't discussed this with my classmates and roommates, so I really don't know. No wonder my roommates don't go home during the holidays. I guess they don't have a place to live at home."
Xiao Yun nodded. Yes, the space in the school dormitory was probably bigger than that at home.
So it’s not that the educated youth couldn’t go back, but that they didn’t want to go back. Not all families could help them find jobs. In many families, there were two workers supporting several children and the elderly, and the salary was barely enough to cover food, so it was impossible for them to have extra money to buy a job.
At this time, even if you wanted to buy, no one would sell. The movement did not persecute too many people, and relatively more people stayed in the city. Although the country was developing, it was far from keeping up with the population increase.
Even if classes were not suspended this time, there would still be a shortage of talent. There are only a few universities in total, and the number of talents that can be supplied is really limited.
If we want to expand or build more colleges and universities, we have to wait for generations of talents to emerge. There is also a great shortage of teachers now.
The family chatted for a while and soon it was time for dinner.
Although most of the ingredients were used for the banquet, there were some left at home. In the evening, I stewed a chicken and mushrooms, scrambled eggs, and made some pickled cabbage. In winter, we stocked up a lot of radishes and cabbages, and we even had a vegetable cellar.
These chickens are raised at home. They don’t lay eggs much anymore, so we just slaughter them and raise them again next spring.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. Li Xingzhi felt a little embarrassed, so he stood in the middle of the room, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
Xiao Yun is an experienced person. He admired it quietly for a while and then started to perform. He had to pretend after all.
She pretended to be embarrassed and stole a glance at him, then pointed to the side room and said, "Go and turn on the stove. We need to heat up the kang before going to bed. The water in the aluminum kettle above should be hot. Let's wash first."
Of course not taking a bath. It’s good to take a bath twice a week in the winter. It’s impossible to take a bath every day.
Li Xingzhi nodded vigorously, and when he turned around so quickly that he tripped over his left foot and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he held onto the chest of drawers next to him.
Xiao Yun almost laughed when he saw him like that. His appearance was really not suitable for such a silly behavior.
She smiled and shook her head, took off her shoes, climbed onto the kang, took out the bedding from the kangqin, spread it out, and put a quilt across it to press her feet.
Even though it's winter, the temperature here is already very low, around 4 or 5 degrees during the day and 7 or 8 degrees below zero at night. It's not possible to sleep with only one quilt. You have to put another one on top, otherwise you'll wake up from the cold in the middle of the night.
After all, this kang can only last until midnight. If it is not heated up in the second half of the night, it will get cold. Even if they use a stove to connect the kang, it is sealed at night and there will not be much heat if it is not opened.
Just as I had made the bed, Li Xingzhi came back with an enamel basin in his hand, steam rising from it, and two towels draped over his arms.
Xiao Yun climbed down from the kang and put on his shoes. He first wiped his and their faces with towels, and then put the basin on the ground.
Xiao Yun no longer pretended to be shy. She took off her shoes and socks and put her feet in the basin.
Li Xingzhi lowered his starry eyes, staring at the pair of snow-white and delicate little feet without blinking, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
