Chapter 186 Quotes of the Times
"Go back to the city..." Without listening carefully to what Zhao Ying said next, Su Wanwan's mind suddenly appeared with Zhong Qingqing's face.
Next came Li Meifen.
Both of them were educated youth who came from the countryside.
"Well, did my father tell me when the first batch of educated youth will return to the city? Which people from our village will return to the city?"
Zhao Ying shook her head. "This was arranged in the past two days. The list has not been finalized yet. It depends mainly on the family situations of the educated youth."
Family situation...
Instead of running directly to the next room to ask her father Su Yang, Su Wanwan silently swallowed the question back into her stomach and planned to discuss it in detail when she met Xu Yan the next afternoon.
However, it would be beneficial to himself and Xu Yan if those educated youth left their village.
Late at night, after Zhao Ying had packed Su Wanwan's luggage, he stared at her with concern as she made her bed, then opened the door and returned to his bedroom.
After tossing and turning all day, Su Wanwan fell into a deep sleep as soon as her head touched the bed.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already light outside, and I could even hear the sound of a stove burning in the kitchen.
It can be imagined that sister-in-law Jiang Shuzhen has kept all noise to a minimum in order not to disturb the rest of other family members.
But Su Wanwan's room was right next to the kitchen after all, so it was difficult not to hear the sounds from the kitchen.
Su Wanwan slowly rubbed her sore eyes, got up, washed, put on her clothes and walked out of the room. Other members of the family also woke up one after another. Zhao Yingcai just put on a coat and came out, and asked Su Wanwan to go back to her room to rest.
"What time is it now? Wanwan, hurry back to your room and get some sleep."
"No, Mom. Before Dad left this morning, he specifically told me to inform my little sister after she gets up that she will be going to work at the radio station today." Jiang Shuzhen came out of the kitchen and hurriedly informed Su Wanwan.
"Wanwan just came back from Baihua Village yesterday. Why is she in such a hurry to go to work? Haven't those young people who recited the Quotations from the Times done well on their own in the past half month? It won't have any impact on them whether Wanwan returns to work at the radio station a day earlier or later." Zhao Ying's complaints were only directed at Jiang Shuzhen, and Jiang Shuzhen was just a messenger, so naturally she would not give any feedback.
"Mom, Dad must have his own reasons for making this arrangement, and I'm actually not that tired. It just so happens that I haven't been on the air for more than half a month, and I kind of miss the radio station."
Su Wanwan had already made mental preparations.
Moreover, it was just as she said, since she had spent the last few days in the clinic in Baihua Village and had hardly done any physical work, she was naturally not that tired.
"I'll definitely talk to your father nicely when he comes back in the evening." Knowing that he couldn't stop Su Wanwan from going to work at the radio station, Zhao Ying lifted his coat, turned around and picked up a piece of dried pork from a corner of the kitchen, intending to stew some more meat to nourish Su Wanwan.
After eating at home, Su Wanwan returned to the radio station to work, took the broadcast script she had saved, carried her army green bag and left the house.
On the way, she wanted to take a detour and quietly go to the door of Xu's house to check on the situation and see how Old Man Xu, Xu's two sisters and others were doing. However, there were still people walking on the road in the village from time to time in the morning. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to Xu Yan, Su Wanwan bit her lower lip lightly and went straight to the radio station.
As my father had said more than half a month ago, after she left, the radio station was only open to young people who came to broadcast the Quotations of the Times at noon every day.
Apart from that, the radio station has remained vacant.
Walking into the radio station, Su Wanwan picked up the neatly stacked papers of the Quotations of the Times and found that more than half a month had passed and the young people in the village had almost read the last page of the quotations she left behind.
...No wonder Dad was so anxious to get her to work at the radio station. It turned out that he had already finished reading the Quotations of the Times.
Based on the number of records made by young people every day, the content on the remaining piece of paper is not enough to cover the number of records made by young people today.
Putting the paper down, Su Wanwan turned around and picked up the reference book beside her. She quickly copied the quotations of the times on the paper, and at the same time organized the broadcast script she was going to broadcast.
In the early morning, the sunlight shone on the shiny glass of the clinic. Zhong Qingqing, who had almost recovered from her injuries, thought about it and finally put down the high school textbook in her hand and turned to walk out.
"Before you go to the production team to help, tell the team leader first, otherwise the work points you earn may not be counted to you." The doctor from the clinic behind him gave a timely reminder.
"Okay." With her own ideas in mind, Zhong Qingqing went straight to the village threshing ground.
Although the autumn harvest in the village has ended, some of the harvested rice still needs to go through the threshing process.
Her sprained ankle had healed and there were no injured people needing care at the clinic, so she could naturally go to the production team to work.
And the important thing is—Xu Yan is back.
Now the main work of the production team in the village is threshing. Xu Yan must be working in the threshing ground with other young people from the production team. If she goes to the threshing ground at this time, she will definitely see Xu Yan working there.
Having not had contact with Xu Yan for more than half a month, Zhong Qingqing felt her heart pounding as she walked.
I don’t know what happened to Xu Yan.
Over the past half month, rumors about Xu Yan in the village have intensified, but she has also gradually come to understand a fact -
Regardless of whether Xu Yan's reputation is good or bad, the fact that he is rich is a fact. Now the educated youth who went to the countryside have gradually begun to return to the city. If she cannot make substantial progress in her relationship with Xu Yan, it is very likely that she will never see Xu Yan again after returning to the city.
Compared to this ending, whether one has a good or bad reputation in the village doesn't seem to be that important.
The threshing ground was temporarily set up on a large open space not far from the health center. All the young people in the production team were methodically carrying the rice waiting to be threshed, as well as loading and transporting the rice that had already been threshed.
When Zhong Qingqing walked over, she happened to run into the team leader who was responsible for arranging work for the young people.
"Captain, I think they're short of people for threshing over there." As they approached from a distance, Zhong Qingqing accurately found Xu Yan's shadow among the busy figures.
"Well, okay, then you can go over and do it with us." The team leader took a quick look at Zhong Qingqing and got to know her.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be reading a book at your clinic?"
Just as Zhong Qingqing was walking towards Xu Yan, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Li Meifen, who was busy, looked at her with contempt.
"There's not that much work in the clinic, so can't you come and help?" Just as Zhong Qingqing was thinking about working with Xu Yan to close the distance between them, she didn't expect that Li Meifen was also here!
As far as she knew, although young men and women worked together in the threshing ground, Li Meifen used to have her own small group.
That is, the other young women in their dormitory.
