Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 465 Snitching

"I don't know, I'm just very happy and can't help but want to laugh." Yi Chi said, but in fact he knew very well in his heart what he was happy about, but he was embarrassed to say it.

Jiang Yu said "oh" and then pressed the corner of his mouth with his fingers, trying to prevent it from rising too high.

After the two people with sweet hearts enjoyed a wonderful meal in the restaurant, Jiang Yu went to school to cancel his leave.

Teacher Yang, who had just finished lunch and was taking a walk near the school gate, was caught by ginger fish.

Teacher Yang immediately decided to take out the midterm exam papers in advance and let Jiang Yu take the exam on the spot to see if she had slacked off during the time she was away.

Yi Chi followed Jiang Yu and sat in front of Teacher Yang's desk.

"Young man, do you want to take the exam with her?" Teacher Yang asked out of kindness when he saw Yi Chi always glancing at Jiang Yu's paper.

Yi Chi waved his hands quickly, "No, no, I'll just sit and wait for her."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu quickened his writing speed.

She writes quickly and Teacher Yang grades the papers quickly because he has the answers.

"Your grades are good. It seems that you really haven't relaxed. That's good." Teacher Yang put down the Chinese paper and continued to look at the political paper. "Have you been reading the newspaper recently? I see that the way you answer the short-answer questions in political science has changed. But this is also good. This kind of official document-style answer is better than the previous one."

"I'm reading it. I'll go to the scrap yard to get some old newspapers every once in a while." Jiang Yu sat upright. She was a little reserved in front of the teacher.

Teacher Yang paused for a moment. "I'll sort out the old newspapers in the office. You can take them back and read them. There are indeed a lot of newspapers in the waste station, but they are all outdated news. You need to read more current affairs news and learn more about society. Speaking of newspapers... I remember you are an educated youth from the Construction Brigade, right? I saw in the newspaper that something happened in your brigade. How are you? Will it affect you?"

"Thank you, teacher. That incident has nothing to do with me. I was out of town at the time, and when I came back yesterday, I happened to see the police leaving. That means I had no involvement at all." Jiang Yu thanked him first, then explained.

"This matter is quite serious and sensitive. Recently, many newspapers have been reporting on matters related to the educated youth, and it seems that there is also a lot of uproar outside. Our city has started it, and now the north has suddenly launched an investigation into the lives of educated youth in the countryside. We think there will be chaos for a while. You should stay out of the house if you have nothing to do, and wait until the storm is over." Teacher Yang sighed. His family was also from another place, and they moved to the Northeast because they couldn't make ends meet. So he had a deep understanding of the tough folk customs of this place. Now that the local residents are not highly regarded by the outside world, everyone's aversion to the educated youth is getting stronger. For safety reasons, you should stay at home and stay quiet for now.

Jiang Yu was not afraid of trouble, but she was still very grateful for the kindness of others. "If there was nothing wrong, I probably wouldn't go out."

"Well, your construction team has been cleaned up once, and I think the second-rate guys in the team will be more restrained. It should not be difficult for you to live an orderly life. Okay, wait for a while, I'll get you the newspaper, and the homework, please write it down." After correcting the paper, Teacher Yang handed it to Jiang Yu, asked her to check the score herself, and stood up to look for the newspaper.

Jiang Yu took the test paper and looked at it. The scores in Chinese and math were as stable as ever. English was full marks, but politics was a little bit worse, with 89 points. It seems that he has to keep working hard on it.

When Jiang Yu left school, she was holding a thick stack of newspapers in her arms, all of which were found for her by Teacher Yang.

It is said that everyone has been paying close attention to the educated youth incident recently, so he bought newspapers from several newspaper companies, including some from other places, which is why he has accumulated so many.

Yi Chi asked her, "How about we order newspapers ourselves? I can order newspapers from the next city, and I can just ask my grandma to send them to us."

"No need to bother, we just need to have some understanding of the changes outside." Jiang Yu shook his head. It should be a few years before the college entrance examination is resumed. No matter how many changes there are outside, it will not help them. It is better to save the money to buy land for investment.

Seeing that she refused, Yi Chi did not try to persuade her. He just went to the base to ask the teacher for old newspapers every half a month. They were more concerned about the political and scientific research situation in the capital, and Jiang Yu thought that should be enough.

"Let's go to the scrap yard and see if there is any scrap metal." Jiang Yu is used to collecting iron. She also wants to make a more delicate ornament to try to get a chance for progress.

"Okay." Yi Chi took the newspaper from her hand, secured it with the hemp rope in the basket, and tied it to the handle.

By the time the two returned to the construction team, the sun was already setting.

He Yuanchao saw them coming from afar and immediately raised his hand and waved.

Jiang Yu rode to her side and stopped with his feet on the ground, "What's the matter?"

"I'm going to tell you a snit about Liu Shichui. A few of them saw you go out this morning and said bad things about you!" He Yuanchao said to Jiang Yu very frankly, pointing at the bruised and swollen man two fields away.

Yi Chi stood up before Jiang Yu and looked at the man He Yuanchao was pointing at. "What did he say?"

"Anyway, they were all unpleasant to hear, and then Zhao Chunjiang and the other male educated youths couldn't stand it and had a fight with them." He Yuanchao said gloatingly, "We educated youths hit them in the face, and a few militiamen also helped."

Jiang Yu looked at Liu Shichui and the others, but just one look was enough to scare them so much that they shrank back.

"How dare you say bad things about me?" She was really an old lady who wanted to hang herself. Jiang Yu sneered at this and said to He Yuanchao, "Thank you. We will go back first. If you have anything to say, please come back to the educated youth camp after you finish work."

"Okay." He Yuanchao nodded, watched them walk away, then made a face at Liu Shichui and the others.

Liu Shichui was so angry that he almost died, but at the same time he was worried about Jiang Yu causing trouble. He was panicked and anxious, and his work was a mess.

After Jiang Yu and Yi Chi returned to the educated youth point, they began to pack their things.

Because Yi Chi was there, Jiang Yu carried all the rotten iron sheets back directly. When he opened the door, he suddenly found that there was no space left in his room.

"Yi Chi, let me take this sewing machine to your place." Jiang Yu said that the sewing machine was too crowded where she was.

"Okay." Yi Chi thought she had no place to put it, so he didn't refuse.

"So good." Jiang Yu thought that he accepted her gift, and she was in a good mood and praised him.

Yi Chi smiled sweetly at her, then tidied up the sewing machine and moved it to the door first.

After the room was a little emptier, Jiang Yu sorted out his materials.

Yi Chi went to the front yard to fetch water for her, "I'll get you some bacon, and I'll make you some rice later."

"Okay. I'll go up with you and we'll move the sewing machine up." Jiang Yu brushed the dust off his hands.
