It is still quite hot in Northeast China at the end of August. Although it is not the busiest season for farm work, there is still a lot of weeding work. The grass in the fields seems to be endless. It pops up every two days. After you finish weeding one piece, there is another one waiting for you. It is endless.

At that time, herbicides had not yet been used, and the weeds in the fields were basically pruned by hand. The members were very busy and would not take leave unless it was something important.

If you take leave, you won't get any work points. The money lost will accumulate over time, and when the money is counted at the end of the year, the members will be heartbroken.

There were not many people on the ox cart, only two elderly ladies, and Jiang Yan and Dong Shuang.

The coachman was still Lao Luo. Perhaps because Jiang Yan had saved Xiaobao, they were all very nice to Jiang Yan and didn't do anything overly enthusiastic or uncomfortable, which made Jiang Yan feel relieved.

She was really afraid that these middle-aged women would come up to her and ask her if she had a partner, and introduce her to their relatives, nephews, etc. Who could stand that?

What Jiang Yan didn't know was that after she rescued Xiaobao yesterday, Bao Zhiguo discussed with Li Caiying and asked her to go to the homes of those gossipers and give them a try. Don't ask them anything just because they are young and thin-skinned.

Bao Zhiguo's status in the village is unquestionable, and Li Caiying is also regarded as the "first lady" in the village. With her coming forward to reprimand, these women who usually talk nonsense will not dare to talk nonsense with Jiang Yan.

Shuangshuang waited for a while, and Xiao Yan, Song Jiaren and others also arrived. All the educated youth newly assigned to the Victory Brigade were gathered together. It was quite a coincidence.

Bad fate!

"Let's go!" The cart was already full, Lao Luo waved the whip and drove the ox cart towards the town.

The old ox walked slowly and the cart was loaded with a lot of weight, so it took them nearly two hours to reach the town safely.

Lao Luo parked the ox cart in the center of the town and told them to hurry up.

"Leave on time at 2:30 p.m., no one will be waited for after the time." This is the rule of the Victory Brigade.

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Luo. This is the first time for the educated youth to come here, so you just need to give them instructions." The two ladies got out of the car and left together.

The educated youth quickly said that they remembered it.

Old Luo drove the ox cart to a shady place, spread his coat on the cart, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Jiang Yan, we are going to the supply and marketing cooperative, do you want to go?" Xiao Yan looked enthusiastic, as if they had a very good relationship.

Jiang Yan didn't want to deal with her, who was always looking for a sense of presence, and pulled Dong Shuang away. Who knew that she wanted to keep things quiet, but someone pushed her further.

"Jiang Yan, Xiaoyan is talking to you. Are you deaf and can't hear her? At least answer her. Why are you like this? You have no manners at all."

Look at this domineering statement, who does Song Jiaren think he is! A domineering president?

"Song Jiaren, you are blind but I am not. Xiao Yan has always been targeting me. If you can't see it, please go get your eyes treated. Also, whether I am willing to pay attention to her is my business. Please don't meddle in my business."

She thought she had saved face for Xiao Yan and Song Jiaren, but unfortunately Song Jiaren had always been self-righteous. He just felt that Jiang Yan was being unreasonable and even jealous.

"Am I too close to Xiaoyan? Am I overthinking it?"

"Who do you think you are? Whether you are close to her or not is none of my business. Song Jiaren, are you out of your mind? Or do you still think that everyone in the world should revolve around you? Don't be so self-indulgent. In my eyes, you are just trash, understand?"

Song Jiaren's face turned from blue to white, and then red, almost as red as pig liver. He had never been humiliated like this before.

"you……"

“Jiang Yan, if you have any temper, come at me. How can you say that about Brother Jiaren.”

Dong Shuang almost vomited. She didn't want to talk. After all, this was Jiang Yan's private matter. It would be inappropriate for her, an outsider, to get involved.

But these two were so shameless that she couldn't stand it anymore.

"Brother Jiaren." Dong Shuang imitated Xiao Yan's tone in a sarcastic manner, and then made a vomiting gesture, "Aren't you two disgusting? Go away, it's so annoying."

She pulled Jiang Yan away, not giving Song Jiaren and Xiao Yan any chance to disgust them again.

Jiang Yan was amused by Dong Shuang's lively appearance. The two of them ignored other people's reactions and went to the post office chatting and laughing.

Dong Shuang wanted to call home to report that he was safe.

"My mother repeatedly told me to call her workplace as soon as I got there."

Telephone charges are so expensive these days, both incoming and outgoing calls are charged. Usually people write letters, or send telegrams for urgent matters, and they are charged by the word.

The fact that you are willing to let your daughter call you shows that you really miss her. Letters are too slow and telegrams are not clear. Phone calls are better. They are fast, clear and you can hear her voice.

"Okay, then. You go make the call. I'll just check to see if there's a package for me."

Dong Shuang nodded repeatedly, "We still have time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative after we get our things."

The two asked about the location of the post office and rushed there.

Fortunately, there were not many people there, and the places for making phone calls and mailing packages were not in the same place, which made Jiang Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

While Dong Shuang was on the phone, she quickly went to the window and bought a few stamps.

Dong Shuang turned his head to look at her, and then concentrated on waiting for the call to be connected. After a while, a voice came from the receiver. Dong Shuang hurriedly said, "Master, can you please call Wang Ning from the second workshop for me? Can I call back in five minutes?"

I don't know what the other party said, Dong Shuang quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, thank you for your help."

She put down the phone, checked the time, and turned to look for Jiang Yan, only to discover that Jiang Yan had already been waiting outside the post office with something in his hand.

Next to her were two large bags and two large sacks, which must have contained a lot of things.

"I'll wait for you outside."

Dong Shuang nodded, feeling happy for her. She was pissed that Xiao Yan, that idiot, dared to say that Jiang Yan was poor.

It was more than ten minutes later when Dong Shuang finished her call. When she came out, her eyes were red and she was no longer as carefree as usual. It seemed that she was homesick.

It is normal for a pampered girl to feel sad when she leaves her hometown, separates from her family and comes to a completely unfamiliar place.

Dong Shuang's growing environment is completely different from Jiang Yan's. Only a girl who was brought up in a pampered way can be unbridled and reckless.

"Have you reported your safety?"

Dong Shuang nodded, feeling a little disappointed, and grumbled to Jiang Yan, "My mom talks too much. She asks about everything, including food and clothing, and it costs me a lot of extra phone bills."

Xiao Renxing's words were meant to hide her sadness.

"Okay, don't be sad. Your family will be relieved if you stay well in the countryside. Write to them more often when you have time. You can also take leave to visit your family!"

After hearing what she said, Dong Shuang calmed down.

"I'll help you carry it. Jiang Yan, don't you want to let your family know you're safe? Even a telegram would be fine!"
