Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 648 World 18

"Yinyin, your handwriting is so beautiful," Zhu Zhiqing originally came to see how Yinyin and her brother were doing their homework, but once she stood behind Yinyin, she couldn't move any further.

Hearing this, Qin Zhiqing also came over to look: "Really, Yinyin's handwriting has such strokes and style, how did you practice?"

Neither Zhu nor Qin, the two female educated youths, were difficult to get along with, and Di Shulan was also a straightforward person. Both sides lived in the old house of the Di family and were willing to get along well, so it didn't take long for them to become close.

Feeling that they had received a lot of care from Di Shulan and her son in their daily lives, the two women decided to teach Di Heping and Yinyin more in their studies as a way of repaying her.

It just so happens that Yin Yin and her brother are both very serious about their studies, which is exactly the kind of students that teachers like the most. They feel a great sense of accomplishment when teaching them, so they like teaching them even more.

Yinyin's handwriting is so good, it's not just something she's practiced all her life. She was hesitating about what excuse to use when she heard someone knocking on the door.

Are Comrade Zhu and Comrade Qin here?

Upon hearing this voice, Zhu Zhiqing pursed his lips.

Qin Zhiqing gently patted her hand: "I'll go take a look."

Yinyin and Di Heping continued to do their homework with their heads down.

Because the old house wasn't very soundproof, and the people outside didn't seem to care much about keeping their voices down, Yin Yin couldn't stop the sounds from getting into her ears, even though she wasn't deliberately eavesdropping.

"Comrade Zhao, Comrade Qian, what brings you here? Is there something you need from us?"

Yinyin paused, realizing that the people who had come were the two male educated youths.

"Why are you alone, Comrade Qin? Where is Comrade Zhu?"

Qin, the educated youth, said, "Comrade Zhu is busy with something. If you want to find her, why don't you sit in the courtyard for a while?"

"It's alright, Comrade Zhu is busy. It's the same if we tell you first."

Yin Yin recognized the voice; it was the one who had stopped them earlier to ask how far Qinghe Village was. If she could match the names up, it should be Zhao Zhiqing, and the other one should be Qian Zhiqing.

Zhao, the educated youth, continued, “Comrade Qin, it’s like this. Comrade Qian and I thought that we all came to Yuejin Village together, but we live in the educated youth compound while you live in the villagers’ homes. After so long, we are not really familiar with each other, which is not conducive to unity.”

"So we've come here to discuss whether you and Comrade Zhu should move back to the educated youth compound, so we can all live together, eat and sleep together, and help each other out."

Yinyin and Di Heping exchanged a glance, both understanding what the other was thinking.

These two have such big faces; they really know how to flatter people.

They were both sizing each other up, each seemingly aware of their scheme.

With Di Shulan leading the way, the two female educated youths have now been basically accepted by the villagers. When the aunts and uncles are talking, as long as it's not too private or something that unmarried girls shouldn't hear, they don't care whether the two women are there or not.

The two male educated youths were quite different.

Qian, the educated youth, was arrogant and didn't even respect the female educated youth who came with him, let alone the villagers.

Although Zhao was more tactful than Qian, he was not very honest in his work.

Although he was better off than Qian, he couldn't compare to the two diligent female educated youths.

The villagers all had their own opinions about this, so naturally they weren't very accepting of them.

Under these circumstances, they had no one to help them at work every day, and in the end they still had to finish their own tasks, otherwise they would get fewer work points.

After a long day, they still have to chop wood, start a fire, do laundry, and cook for themselves.

They did more work than before, which expended a lot of energy, and their appetites were also better than before. With the small amount of food they were allocated in advance and without any planning, they quickly ate quite a lot.

But the next grain distribution is still a long way off, and they still have to make a living. If they don't plan ahead, they'll have to spend money to buy it.

Knowing all this, their intentions when they came to the two female educated youths, asking them to move back to the educated youth compound and even eat and live with them, were clearly written all over their faces.

Clearly, Zhu Zhiqing inside the room was just straightforward, but that didn't mean she didn't understand that others were trying to scheme against them. She was so angry that she stood up and wanted to lift the curtain and go out.

Yinyin quickly grabbed her and whispered, "Sister Zhu, Sister Qin just said you have things to do. If you go out now, isn't it said that Sister Qin is lying?"

“That’s right,” Di Heping said, “Sister Zhu, please sit for a while longer.”

Zhu Zhiqing was barely restrained by the two of them, but his mind was still on the outside world.

Qin Zhiqing didn't follow the two people's logic at all and said directly, "That won't do. We're staying at Aunt Di's house. It's all agreed upon and there's a contract. How can we just leave like that?"

Qian Zhiqing snorted: "You've only just arrived in the countryside, and you're already saying you can't get used to living in the educated youth compound. You're paying your own way to stay in the villagers' homes. Where is the demeanor of a promising young person going to the countryside? It's just capitalist behavior."

Qin Zhiqing's voice noticeably turned cold: "Qian Zhiqing, I don't understand what you're saying at all."

"When Zhu and I first arrived, we stayed with the villagers and were clearly trying to integrate into the community. Why is Qian accusing us of this? Does she think we shouldn't be getting along with the villagers?"

Qin, the educated youth, got angry, and Zhao, the educated youth, stepped in to smooth things over.

"Comrade Qin, Comrade Qian just misspoke for a moment, please don't take it to heart."

"In the end, he also hopes that we are all doing well, after all, we are all outsiders who came here together."

This time, Zhu Zhiqing couldn't sit still any longer. She went out and angrily said, "Come on, we didn't come with you. Did you even see us?"

“Your eyes are all on Qinghe Village and on Feng Mingyue.”

At this point, Zhu Zhiqing suddenly realized: "I was wondering why you didn't come looking for us earlier or later, but only now."

"Didn't you go to Qinghe Village? You just got back?"

"Did Feng Mingyue give you some advice again?"

"What, she won't come to help you herself, so you're trying to scheme against me and Sister Qin?"

Yinyin tilted her head and saw Di Heping frowning, so she gently touched him.

"Brother, it seems that Sister Qin and Sister Zhu don't have a very good relationship with this educated youth Feng Mingyue from Qinghe Village."

Di Heping nodded thoughtfully, got up and walked to the window to quietly look outside.

Since he was already moving around, Yin Yin certainly wouldn't just sit there, so she stood up next to him.

Through the crack in the window, Yin Yin clearly saw the guilty looks on the faces of the two male educated youths. Obviously, Zhu had guessed correctly.

“What nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with Comrade Feng Mingyue?” Qian Zhiqing said, his voice sharp but his tone weak. “Comrade Feng Mingyue is innocent and upright. How can you throw mud at her like this?”

Zhao, a former educated youth, also said, "Comrade Qian is right. If you, Comrade Zhu, don't want to move back to the educated youth compound with Comrade Qin, then don't move. Why drag others into this?"

"I never expected you to be this kind of person."

As she spoke, Zhao, the educated youth, pretended to be kind and reminded Qin, "Comrade Qin, it's not that I want to speak ill of people, but since you and Comrade Zhu live under the same roof, you should be more careful."

"You, you all!" Zhu Zhiqing was furious.

Yinyin couldn't stand the two of them ganging up on Zhu Zhiqing, so she deliberately said loudly, "Wow, brother, did you hear that? Zhao Zhiqing and Qian Zhiqing are really good with words, they can make black into white."

"They were the ones who were plotting against Sister Qin and Sister Zhu, but now it's become Sister Zhu who's not a good person."

"If we had their ability to distort the truth, wouldn't we be able to succeed at anything?"

Di Heping chimed in, "That definitely won't work."

"All talk and no action, no work, and you won't get enough work points to eat."

"Do you want to go hungry like them?"
