Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1153 Old Man Liu
The old educated youth have been with them for more than a year, and from the bottom of his heart, Old Man Liu is more inclined towards them.

The old educated youth were considered half members of the team. How could they not be angry when they suddenly saw their children being bullied by the new educated youth?

"Why are you beating people?" Xie Zhiying frowned even deeper when he heard the new educated youth attacking the old educated youth.

In his impression, those old educated youth didn't seem like people who would be provoked.

Speaking of this, Old Man Liu's face, which was already full of wrinkles, became even more twisted.

He curled his lips and complained, "I have finally seen clearly that these new Zhixing are not easy to deal with.

The brigade originally planned to have four rooms for the educated youth. But the winters here are cold, and the kang in the house is big, so in order to save firewood, several old educated youths occupied two rooms in total, one for the male educated youth and one for the female educated youth.

In this way, there are still two rooms left. The team leader saw that there were four new educated youth assigned to the group this time, so I assigned them to the educated youth group as well.

Logically speaking, two men and two women could just fill up the remaining two rooms, which would be more spacious than the ones where the old educated youth lived.

But these educated youths just don’t want to do that. Do you know what they like?”

When talking about this old man Liu gritted his teeth and felt a toothache.

“They took a fancy to the two houses where the old educated youth now live.

Brother Xie, you should also know that when this house was first allocated to the old educated youth to live in, the four rooms were all the same.

Now the two houses where the old educated youth lived appear to be neater and cleaner, and they were cleaned bit by bit by the old educated youth.

I still remember that when the kids first came here, they didn’t know anything and they asked us old guys to paint the walls for them.

I watched those two rooms being built bit by bit as a group of educated youths built them.

I have never seen people more shameless than these new educated youth. After they arrived, without saying a word, they started clamoring for the old educated youth to make room for them.

Brother Xie, how can such a thing be possible in this world?
Not to mention the first come first served principle, the money used to clean up the house was also paid by the educated youth themselves, so how could they just snatch it away?

The team leader also told them that if they wanted to do it, there was a bag of lime in the team warehouse which they could use for free. But even that didn't work and they still made a fuss to ask the old educated youth to vacate the space.

But they are just good at beating people up if they are not allowed to do so."

"Is the old educated youth okay?" Xie Zhiying asked with concern.

Xie Zhiying probably had some understanding of the situation of this group of old educated youth.

All of them were good kids, but two of them were probably sent away to seek refuge because of their bad family backgrounds, so they seemed a little taciturn.

But overall, none of them are the kind of people who would cause trouble. They have been working honestly for more than a year and have never done anything weird.

"Everyone else is fine, except for the old educated youth team leader who got his head smashed while trying to stop the fight. I didn't know that I was going to the town today. The team leader even asked me to go to the town clinic to see how the kid is doing. When I went over, he looked fine, but because of the head injury, the doctor told me to observe him for another two days. If he's fine, I can go back and take care of him."

"The new educated youth dared to do this, and the captain didn't say anything?"

Speaking of this, Old Man Liu finally showed a smile on his face, and his expression became much happier: "The team leader told them to stay if they want, and if they don't want to stay, they can leave. Our team can't afford to support such uncles.

As long as they are capable of leaving, I will sign for them without saying anything and take them to see the Youth League Office tonight.

Didn’t you see that when the team leader said this, the newly arrived educated youth were scared like quails. They huddled together and dared not say a word.

If you ask me, these guys are just cheapskates. They don't know how to use a sly face. The most effective way is to use a stern face." Without waiting for Xie Zhiying to respond, Old Man Liu continued, "The team leader said that since they just arrived, he wanted to let them rest for two days before they start working. Since they are not tired and are willing to make trouble, let's go to the fields together.

The team leader specifically ordered them to work separately from the old educated youth, so that those good kids wouldn’t be implicated by them.”

However, when he thought about the work they had done today, Old Man Liu's face was full of disgust.

After talking about the educated youth, Old Man Liu turned his attention to Zhang Yu who was sitting obediently on the donkey cart.

He asked with great interest, "I heard from your brother that your eldest nephew was admitted to university this year?"

Speaking of this, Xie Zhiying swept away his previous unhappiness, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, looking so excited.

"That's right, Xiaoyu was admitted to Q University."

"Q University! Wow, this is incredible! I actually got into Q University!"

Old Man Liu had only heard that the eldest nephew of the Xie family had been admitted to university. In his opinion, being admitted to university was already a great achievement, but he did not expect that he had been admitted to Q University.

Even if he didn't know how to count, he had heard of the reputation of Q University and Beijing University.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Amazing! Wouldn't this be the top scholar in the past?"

"No, no, it's not that exaggerated." Xie Zhiying said modestly, but the raised corners of his mouth still revealed his good mood.

Old man Liu didn't care about Xie Zhiying's modesty. He couldn't help but look back at Zhang Yu again and again, and then couldn't help but sighed: "My goodness, how did you raise your child? How come he is so powerful?

Oh! I would be thankful if my child could get into a technical secondary school, let alone a university."

Old man Liu couldn't read a single word, but he respected literate people very much, of course, this did not include the new educated youth who were looking for trouble.

When he was young, he worked as a servant in a landlord's house. He saw the young master of that family read and write, and could speak in front of officials.

In his opinion, the young master of that family is a scholar.

He was extremely envious and had an obsession in his heart.

So after getting married, even though life was hard, he tried his best to send all three children to school.

But his three children might have inherited his brainpower. They found it difficult to study. After several years of study, they managed to learn a few words and couldn't continue studying.

Disappointed, Old Man Liu could only place his hopes on his grandchildren.

But it has to be said that the Liu family's attitude towards learning is also passed down from generation to generation. Several of the grandsons would stop going after just two years. The youngest grandson was in the fifth grade, but failed to get into junior high school for two or three consecutive years. In the end, he had no choice but to drop out of school.

However, in the eyes of Old Man Liu, although he only graduated from junior high school, he is more or less a learned person.

Just relying on his elementary school education, my grandson defeated all his competitors and got the job of scorekeeper for the team.

Old man Liu is very proud of his grandson.

However, what makes Old Man Liu most proud is not his grandson, but his granddaughter.
