Chapter 20 The Miserable Woman 20
"Comrade Feng Yuanchun, you...how could you do this?" He Hongyu burst into tears and choked up, "I really want to make friends with you. I'm new here and I don't know anyone in the village, but I heard from other educated youth that you are the most diligent and capable female comrade in the village, so I want you to teach me how to do farm work."
"Yuanchun, the village chief has said that we villagers have the responsibility to teach the educated youth who went to the countryside to do farm work. Otherwise, they won't know how to do farm work, won't earn work points, and will starve to death. Our village is also responsible."
"Yes, Yuanchun, it's not tiring to teach people to work. You can teach them a few things tomorrow when we go to the fields."
"This educated youth He is a good person. After going to the countryside, she even asked someone to teach her how to do farm work. Unlike the other female educated youths, they cried and made a fuss about wanting to go home even after going to the fields. They also said that we rural people are just mud legs and are not worthy of talking to them."
"That's right. Every time they see me, they look disgusted, as if we are the bastards in the cesspool."
"Humph, now, they have also become mud-legged people, and have become the people they despise the most."
"That's different. They are educated people, intellectual youth. How can they be the same as us, the real peasants?"
"Yuanchun is also a cultured person, an educated youth." The woman who was speaking suddenly shouted to Yuanchun, "Yuanchun, use the money and grain to ask your grandmother to enroll you in a school and get a high school diploma. This will also bring honor to our village."
Yuanchun grinned and said, "Aunt Pan, my grandmother said that she would let my second brother and I go to high school after the new year and take the high school diploma exam. Then my second brother and I can participate in the teacher recruitment in the future."
"Hey, Yuanchun, you and your second brother are going to study in town. That must cost a lot of money. Where does your family get the money?"
"My mother borrowed it from my grandfather to write a letter."
After the Feng family became rich, they wanted to send their children to school. After discussing, the family decided to put the responsibility of paying for the money on Liu Qingqiu's parents' home because her family lived far away and was from the city.
In the eyes of rural people, city people are rich people.
"Yuanchun's mother is lucky to have her parents in the city to support her. Unlike us, we are lucky enough if our parents don't come to collect some money."
There was a middle-aged woman who was talking in a sour tone, with envy and jealousy in her eyes. Yuanchun was too lazy to pay attention to a group of old women, so she squeezed to the front to watch the fun.
He Hongyu lowered her sinister eyes, silently retreated to the back, and then left the square in a flash.
She had just arrived and had no work points, so she had no share of the rations. She didn't want to stay in the square and watch a bunch of country bumpkins gossiping.
A few minutes later, she arrived at Chen's house and knocked on the door a few times, "Brother Chen, are you home?"
All the members of the Chen family went to the square to collect food, and only Chen Shengjun was still at home washing clothes. However, there were only his clothes in the basin.
Chen Shengjun is very smart. He knows that girls with good conditions like clean men, so every time he goes out, he wears clean clothes and washes his fingernails until there is no dust on them.
That's why Feng Yuanchun fell in love with him.
I feel that he is different from the three Chen Shengjin brothers. He is hardworking, clean, good-looking, and can coax people with a coquettish mouth.
But Mrs. Chen and Li Wuniu thought he changed his clothes too frequently and refused to wash them for him, so he would secretly wash his clothes by himself at home, for fear of being seen and laughed at by outsiders.
"Brother Chen, are you home?"
Chen Shengjun had just finished washing one piece of clothing when he heard a noise in the yard.
