I eat melons and watch dramas in the chronicles

Chapter 35 The Educated Youth
Li Guoliang glanced at Feng Yingjie, didn't continue the topic, so he took a puff of cigarette and asked: "I heard that you are going to tidy up the house in Miss Lin's house? How are you going to clean it up? That house was built by your uncle Lin's father just a few days ago." A new house for the new year."

"Sanbo, I'm not planning to make a big move. Just paint the walls and make the floor in the house. It's cold here in winter. There is a kang in the east wing. My mother-in-law and Linlin's house now doesn't have a kang. Before My mother-in-law and Linlin can live in the East Wing in winter, but it will be inconvenient after Linlin and I get married!"

Feng Yingjie glanced at the two elders in front of him and continued with some embarrassment: "My mother-in-law loves me, fearing that I won't be used to such a cold winter here, so she tried to make a bed for Linlin's house, so I thought about it." Why don't you take the opportunity to tidy up the house and live more comfortably."

"That's fine, your mother-in-law has never been in charge of the family. When your father-in-law is here, everything depends on your father-in-law. When your father-in-law is gone, she relies on Lin girl for everything. After you and Lin girl get married, you can also take care of Lin. Let the girl share the burden and let her relax."

When Li Guoliang said this, anyone could hear the distress in his tone. Li Guoliang really felt sorry for this niece. Since Li Guodong left, his younger siblings are not worth anything, and they rely on Li Lin for less than 20 years at home. The year-old girl stood up, thinking about the time when her uncle and aunt were with Li Guodong, at that time, girl Lin was the envy of all the children in the village!
It's like now, the whole family is supported by her alone, no matter what it is, Li Guoliang feels distressed, but after all, he is a niece who is separated from the room, so he can't say too much, he can only try his best Take care of yourself!
Feng Yingjie heard Li Guoliang's meaning, but he didn't want to say much about these small conflicts between the elders, he just nodded and said: "Don't worry, Uncle San, I will take good care of Linlin and my mother-in-law."

"Well, you and I are not worried. You seem to be indifferent to others, but you are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and you have a good character. You can do what you say. It's just that Lin is strong and has a stubborn temper. You can forgive me in the future , that girl is also hard-spoken and soft-hearted!" Li Guoliang nodded approvingly when he heard Feng Yingjie's words.

Feng Yingjie pursed his lips. It has been almost a year since he came here. He is still not used to the straightforward praise of these people here. Chinese people have always been modest. Such straightforward and simple words still make Feng Yingjie a little embarrassed.

Li Lin had been busy all morning, and at noon it was finally time to take a breather. She took out the food she brought from home and ate every mouthful. The colleagues beside her couldn't help but look at her.

Sister Liu looked at Li Lin who was biting into the steamed corn bread with big mouthfuls, and asked, "What's wrong with Li Lin? Is it uncomfortable? Why can't I eat?"

There is almost no mention of picky eaters in this idea. It is good to be able to eat enough. They usually bring food from home and eat together at noon. Everyone knows what food is brought, and they also know whether the conditions of the family are good. Li Lin's meals are generally very good, not only looking good, but also smelling good.

Besides, I have been busy all morning, who is not hungry, besides, Li Lin has never been so lethargic when eating like today, and has not eaten a few bites after half a day. They have been together for so long, and they know that Li Lin is not a person. She is squeamish, although she looks squeamish, but she is not a squeamish temperament no matter what she does or speaks.

Li Lin raised her head when she heard the words, and seeing several colleagues looking at her, she couldn't help but sighed and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, Sister Liu, it's just that it's too hot, and I've been busy all morning, so I don't have much appetite."

"Oh, no, it's really hot now. It's this time of year every year. My children are too. They can't eat when it's hot. After a summer, they've lost a few pounds!" Responsible for daily necessities Sister Fan at the counter of the department store couldn't help complaining.

Li Lin smiled and said: "Well, I have had bitter summer since I was a child, and I can't eat in summer. This year is better. I thought I would be one year older and it would not be bitter summer. Today is not the same. I know what's wrong, I just don't want to eat when I'm hungry."

"Let's take a break and eat. I haven't been idle all morning, especially your counter. It stands to reason that your counter should not be so busy at this time. It's not a season change or New Year's time. Why are there so many people today? See, you don't even have the energy to drink your saliva!"

After hearing Sister Liu's words, Li Lin smiled wryly and said, "Who knows? There were not as many people as there were this morning in the past week, and the ones they bought were all good materials. They should be cut for a blind date or a wedding." Fabric."

"That's right, there isn't much farm work in the countryside at this time. If you want to get married or have a blind date after the autumn harvest like you, you don't have to cut cloth and make new clothes now, but you don't have to save all your money until today!" Sister Fan nodded and said, thinking about those people who came to cut cloth today, she was a little puzzled.

Wang Ying looked at Li Lin, then at Liu Fan and the two older sisters, and couldn't help but say, "I know, there are a lot of people today, because there is a new group of educated youths. There are many!"

"Didn't a batch come here at the beginning of spring? Why are there more here now than before? Wang Ying, who did you listen to?" Sister Fan asked Li Lin, then looked at Wang Ying.

Wang Ying puffed up her chest and said braggingly: "My eldest sister's father-in-law works in the commune. The county has issued documents before. I heard that there are hundreds of people assigned to our commune! They are all from Beijing and Shanghai. It’s from a big city!”

"Hundreds of people! How many brigades are there in our commune? How do we divide up so many educated youths? How many people are there in this brigade?" Sister Fan couldn't help exclaiming.

In the past, they were quite curious and envious of these educated youths from the city, but after watching them for so many years, those educated youths couldn’t carry their hands on their shoulders, they couldn’t do farm work well, and no brigade would want to assign their own educated youth Too much, now that it's like this, it will take a long time to make trouble!

Li Lin was stunned for a moment. Their commune has nineteen brigades. Their brigades are small, with only seven production teams. The number of educated youth assigned to their brigade is one or two fewer than the other brigades, but now there are hundreds of them, how can they be divided!

Thinking about the style of those educated youths, Li Lin couldn't help frowning, she was very sensible and reasonable, but if she encountered those who were unreasonable, she would worry about her second grandfather and third uncle. There must be a dozen or so. There are already a dozen or so educated youths in their brigade. If there are another ten or so, will the educated youth compound still have room?
