Chapter 899: Informing the Educated Youths to Return to the City
Seeing that the two agreed to this matter, Liu Jingxue breathed a sigh of relief.
She now deeply regrets saying this.
If she had known that the captain might talk to them about this, she would not have mentioned it to the two of them just now.
Now, I don’t know whether these two people agreed to this matter in order not to offend me, or they really want to help.
If the two of them had to agree to this because of me, wouldn't that mean I was forcing them?
The captain told them that there was no reason for him to interfere in the matter and they could do whatever they wanted.
In fact, Liu Jingxue took this for granted. If the captain asked the two of them for help, they would probably find it difficult to refuse.
"Forget it, since it has already happened, there is no point in thinking about it.
So be it." Liu Jingxue thought with an ostrich mentality.
Forcing a smile, Liu Jingxue apologized and said, "We brothers and sisters caused trouble, but in the end we have to trouble you to clean up the mess."
Zhou Mingxuan thought for a moment and understood what Liu Jingxue was thinking.
How could he miss such a great opportunity to sell it?
He smiled and consoled her, "Xiaoxue, you are wrong. How could this be caused by you and the two brothers of the Liu family?
If they hadn't discovered this by chance, no one would know where these two girls had been sold to.
You brother and sister saved those two girls, which was a good thing.
We two brothers didn’t catch up with this matter, otherwise we would have taken it over.”
Although he didn't understand why Zhou Mingxuan said that, Zhao Junhao always kept in step with Zhou Mingxuan.
As soon as Zhou Mingxuan finished speaking, he immediately spoke,
"Xiaoxue, this good thing can't be done by you brothers and sisters alone, you have to leave some soup for us brothers.
We brothers also need to do good deeds and accumulate virtue for ourselves.
Don't worry, we two brothers will definitely do our best to find a family to support those two girls."
Knowing that the two people said this deliberately to comfort her, Liu Jingxue appreciated the kindness in her heart.
“We just acted as messengers and informed the captain and his men of this matter, but we didn’t get any credit.
The biggest contributors to this matter have to be the captain and his gang, plus you.
Finding a supporter for the two children," Liu Jingxue frowned.
"We brothers and sisters are unfamiliar with this place, so we really can't help."
Liu Jingxue was a little speechless. Why is it that other people who travel through time are successful in everything they do, and when they go out, people take the initiative to make friends with them and expand their network?
Why is it so frustrating when it comes to her?
It seems that I am not the son of luck, the protagonist of this world.
It’s better to stay calm.
Liu Jingxue felt that something was puzzling. Thinking of the suspected Japanese spy in Xi City and this incident, plus the spy found on the train, she felt that her brother and sister only raised questions and let others solve them.
Could it be that these brothers and sisters have some trouble-making physique?
I couldn't help but shudder.
Forget it. It seems that she should just stay at home from now on and try not to go out if possible.
Liu Jingxue once again found a reasonable excuse for her laziness and staying at home.
The two continued to practice, and Liu Jingxue continued to correct their movements.
Thinking of the fact that Zhang Yingchun had returned to the city, Liu Jingxue felt that she should still inform him.
"By the way, Zhang Yingchun returned to the city some time ago."
Thinking of the sour words said by the educated youth, Liu Jingxue reminded,
"When you see those educated youth, remember not to mention this matter, lest you touch their sensitive nerves and make them say sour words again."
Zhou Mingxuan was not surprised when he heard this. He continued punching and said lightly,
"I'm going back now. It's pretty fast."
Liu Jingxue was stunned. Why was this person's reaction so calm? He shouldn't be so surprised.
Could it be that this person already knew that she was going back to the city?
She was a straightforward person, and asked whatever came to her mind, "Why do I feel like you're not surprised at all?"
"What are you surprised about?" Zhao Junhao spoke first, "It's not like she and Xia Lan will stay here for long.
But I was quite surprised that they stayed for two or three years.
The year we first came here, we thought they were about to go back.
Since Zhang Yingchun is gone, will Xia Lan be gone soon too? "
Liu Jingxue had nothing to hide from these two people. They were not the talkative type, and it was even less likely that they would ruin Xia Lan's chance to return home out of jealousy.
“Xia Lan is about to go back.
She is already married. She got married during the Spring Festival and married a soldier.
Now she is waiting for her husband to come and pick her up on leave so that they can reunite in the army."
Zhou Mingxuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and inexplicably felt more favorable towards Xia Lan, "I didn't expect that she would become a military wife."
Thinking of the life of a military wife, he added, "Looking at her, she doesn't look like someone who can endure hardship. Can she adapt to the life of a military wife?"
Liu Jingxue would not just stand by and watch her good friend being questioned.
"Why can't she endure hardship? Hasn't she been working in the fields and earning work points in the past few years?
During the autumn harvest period, I was just like everyone else, going out early and coming back late every day, but I didn’t slack off.”
Seeing that Liu Jingxue seemed unhappy, Zhou Mingxuan didn't dare to speak.
Zhao Junhao complained, "I did go to work, but I didn't do much work. I didn't earn many work points in the whole day.
Fortunately, her family provides subsidies, otherwise she would not be able to support herself.
But now it seems that I don’t know whether the subsidy was given by her family or her husband.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingxue stared at him with an unfriendly look.
Feeling like a thorn in his back, Zhao Junhao followed his senses and immediately noticed Liu Jingxue's gaze.
As if realizing he had said something wrong, he quickly looked away and said,
“But she didn’t grow up in the countryside, so it’s understandable that she’s not used to farm work.
Being a military wife doesn't require her to work in the fields like in the countryside, so I think she can still do the job."
“They have found jobs in the city and no longer have to work in the fields.
After all, she graduated from junior high school and can read and write. She will definitely be able to do the job."
"But this is something we know about now, so you can't spread it to others.
After Zhang Yingchun left, those people were already full of sour words. If they knew she would be leaving soon, they might have caused trouble out of jealousy. ", Liu Jingxue warned.
"Don't worry, we are not talkative people.
But after all, we are all in the same production team. Should we send something to Xia Lan when she leaves?" Zhao Junhao said hesitantly.
"Before Zhang Yingchun left, the other educated youths expressed some opinions, and Xia Lan was probably the same.
My things have already been delivered, you guys can discuss it.
But the value shouldn’t be too high. The value of the gifts given to Zhang Yingchun by other educated youths was no more than 50 cents.”
When they went to the cowshed for dinner in the evening, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao naturally told several elders what had happened in the Japanese country.
Sure enough, when the elders heard the news, they all laughed heartily and were very happy.
Wang Xiulan had always been controlling the group from drinking too much, but after hearing such good news today, she mercifully relaxed the restrictions.
The end result was that when the three men left, the three male elders were already snoring loudly and falling asleep drunk.
