The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 70: The educated youth Xiao Yang is not obedient, he needs to be forced!
Chen Huaiyang pushed the bike to the intersection of the brigade. There was no one around. He lifted his foot, creating a gust of wind, and easily sat astride the bike. He raised his hand and patted the front bumper.

With a dazzling smile on his face, he said expectantly, "Xiao Lin, educated youth, please come in!"

Yang Xiaolin looked at him inexplicably, "How do you sit?"

Thinking about sitting in the front, I would definitely be in his arms. He was a person who would always take advantage of me and would definitely not give up the opportunity to take advantage of me. My face turned red just imagining it.

Chen Huaiyang shrugged, "There's no room in the back. You have too many supplies. Do you want to dawdle here in the north wind?"

"Think carefully, this road is sparsely populated, and if you, a beautiful educated youth, are left alone, if you run into a daring team member, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Yang Xiaolin instantly thought of Lai San, and she shuddered. Her whole body was on alert, and she looked around vigilantly. The quality of the team members was obvious, and this situation could really happen!
"Don't try to intimidate me here. I won't be fooled by you! You just want to do something bad."

Chen Huaiyang put his feet on the pedal, not wanting to argue, "Okay, since my character is so bad, I won't bother you in front of you."

"Be careful. If you run into anyone who's causing trouble, run away quickly."

Yang Xiaolin listened and hurriedly raised her hand to tightly grasp the hem of his clothes, staring at him with her round eyes and pursed lips.

"You are deliberately trying to intimidate me. I am afraid that I will compromise in the future, and then you will succeed in your goal."

Chen Huaiyang laughed angrily and didn't want to quibble. He just felt that he wanted to take advantage of him. "Okay, let go. I'll wait for you a little further ahead."

As soon as Yang Xiaolin loosened her hand, Chen Huaiyang rode away on his bike without any hesitation. From a distance, only the familiar figure could be seen from behind.

Yang Xiaolin panicked, her eyes instantly turned red, she raised her head and blinked, trying to suppress the feeling of grievance.

I didn't dare to delay on the road. Seeing that the person showed no sign of turning back, I hurriedly picked up my pace and walked forward.

She felt confused and bitter along the way. Was she resisting Chen Huaiyang's contact?
She definitely didn't object, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed him to kiss her again and again.

But she also didn't want to indulge others and let them get too far, so she would be more alert sometimes, but it was obvious that Chen Huaiyang didn't want to play with her anymore.

It just takes an attitude.

Forcing her to make a choice.

After all, you don't want to be nice to people for no reason and end up with nothing in return.

Chen Huaiyang was waiting on the road ahead. When he saw her figure, he continued to pedal forward.

What are you stopping for?
Does it make people feel like he wants something bad to her?

What he wants is willingness, not coercion. If she is unwilling, there is no need for him to flatter her. She is just a woman, and he doesn't need her.

Yang Xiaolin watched the car slide away in front of her eyes again and again. She felt aggrieved and tears rolled down her cheeks. Her big round eyes suddenly became tearful.

She also felt empty inside. Although they had only known each other for four months, he had already subtly integrated into her life.

Thinking about how he fed me every now and then and how I avoided him intentionally or unintentionally, it’s no wonder that he was angry. I’ll worry about the future later and just let nature take its course!
The two of them chased each other back to the educated youth site. Chen Huaiyang unloaded the things and then returned the bicycle.

The educated youth site was quiet; it was not yet time to get off work, so there was no one there.

When Chen Huaiyang came back, he went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. It was their turn today. Although they had already eaten at the state-owned restaurant, the man with glasses had not eaten yet!

Just stew some sweet potato porridge and the problem will be solved.

at that time.

Yang Xiaolin stepped into the kitchen with a nervous look on her face. Seeing the man busy and ignoring her, the atmosphere froze. She raised her hand and tugged at his sleeve, "Are you angry?"

Chen Huaiyang raised his eyes and met her slightly red eyes. His expression paused, "Are you crying?"

Yang Xiaolin's eyes suddenly turned red again, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Chen Huaiyang: “…”

With a sigh, he said helplessly, "Why are you crying? Did I force you to do something you don't want to do?"

Chen Huaiyang resisted the urge to hug the person in his arms. He wanted to have a sweet love, but he also didn't want to be a person who forced others.

If she is not happy, she won't force it.

"Let's go back and take care of the supplies first. The educated youth will be back soon. If they see me, they'll think I'm bullying you!"

Yang Xiaolin didn't want to leave, but when she heard the educated youth talking, she had no choice but to walk away. People saw that her eyes were red and she had no way to explain it.

Chen Huaiyang shook his head, pulled away the firewood, and went back to his room to rest.

When I woke up again, the educated youth were talking about the opportunity to draw blackboard newspapers, and everyone was eager to try.

Don’t underestimate the temptation of four work points. In these long two or three months, you can save a lot of food. No one wants to give up the opportunity since they have nothing to do anyway.

A feeling of excitement and jubilation spread throughout the educated youth site.

Liu Xiaoyu said excitedly: "Did you hear that? Now we have the opportunity to draw a blackboard newspaper, we must seize it well."

Liu Li nodded. "I didn't expect there would be such a policy this year. It's really rare."

Tian Dong couldn't help but pour cold water on them, "It's not that simple. There are many old educated youth who married into the team. Who would be willing to give up such a rare opportunity?"

"I'm afraid there will be more trouble about this matter! So many work points, who wouldn't think they are worth a lot?"

Liu Li replied: "Why don't we go ask Chen Huaiyang? He's been in frequent contact with the captain, maybe he'll have some inside information."

"Although opportunities are hard to grab, we shouldn't give up before we've tried our best!"

After some discussion, the three of them went to look for someone.

The door was slammed. Chen Huaiyang got up sleepily and looked at them in confusion. "What's going on?"

Tian Dong was pushed forward by the two female educated youths. He could only look at Chen Huaiyang and ask, "Have you heard that our brigade is going to arrange a blackboard painting?"

"We'll select from among the educated youth. We'll earn four work points a day. During the transition period between ice and snow, everyone wants to seize this opportunity. Have you heard any gossip?"

Chen Huaiyang looked at the piercing eyes and answered in a very annoying way, "The captain came to me and said he would give me this job, but I refused."

"It's freezing cold, I don't want to suffer this."

"Whatever you want, you can either take your chance or wait for the captain to choose you!"

When the three heard this, they were all stunned.

"The captain has given you the opportunity, but you are still pushing it away? It's just a matter of talking a little bit, and it won't waste much effort." Chen Huaiyang shrugged and said indifferently, "I don't need these few work points, why should I ruin myself?"

"You don't look like you guys are capable of giving gifts, so just treat it normally and don't expect too much."

Tian Dong didn't care. He didn't eat too much on a normal day, and the food was enough for him to survive the winter. This opportunity was dispensable to him.

He might even feel it was a burden, as he could learn a lot during the lectures!
"You guys can do whatever you want. I won't compete with you for the opportunity. There are still many capable people in the team. Who can grab it depends on their own ability."

The two female educated youth looked at each other, and the last one looked dejected. They wanted to give gifts, but they were too short-pocketed to spare any money.
"Do I have to give gifts to get things done? The captain doesn't look like a person who values ​​money."

Chen Huaiyang really wanted to roll his eyes. Who would say on his face that in order to get something he wanted, he had to give him a gift? Isn’t that something only a fool would do?

He shook his head in their expectant eyes, "That's not necessarily the case. If no one sends gifts, there should be a chance."

But some people took shortcuts, so it’s hard to say.

No matter what era it is, people with connections will always have more advantages.

As soon as the two left, the man with glasses came again.

Push Chen Huaiyang into the room and lock the door.

Chen Huaiyang rolled his eyes at his evasive appearance and said, "What are you planning to do, sneaking around like that?"

The man with glasses took out a jade pendant and waved it in front of him. "Help me finish the blackboard newspaper work, and I'll give you this thing."

"Don't underestimate this thing because it's small. It's of high purity and very valuable."

"I don't want to resort to such dirty tricks, but being hungry is even more painful. I can't keep borrowing food from you. Please help me."

It is true that birds of a feather flock together. Things that he used to disdain, now seem insignificant to him.

These were all influenced silently by Chen Huaiyang. People cannot live too conservatively. Sometimes you should turn when you should, and the consequences will be unexpected.

Chen Huaiyang took a closer look and saw that it was indeed a good item. He patted his shoulder and nodded, "Do you really want to exchange it?"

"I've done the job for you, but I won't return this thing to you." It's not worth much now, but it will be a treasure in the future.

There is still stockpiled goods in the left and right spaces, so this deal is not a loss for him.

The man with glasses nodded without hesitation, "Don't worry, I will definitely change it if I say so. I will definitely not ask you to change it back."

Chen Huaiyang accepted it, patted his shoulder and assured him, "Wait for my good news!"

You can get whatever you need. There are also thermos, porcelain plates, and daily necessities for wedding in the space. No one can refuse it.

It was another dark night, and Chen Huaiyang went to look for someone. The captain saw what he was holding, and his mouth twitched.

"I came to you earlier and you rejected me with a determined look on your face, but now you come to me again happily."

"This job is hard to find. Anyone who doesn't want it is a fool. You should come earlier. If you delay for another day or two, you will have nothing to do."

Chen Huaiyang smiled and said, "Thank you for thinking of me, uncle. You are like a relative to me and take good care of me."

"Today I was asked to go to our educated youth site to see the man with glasses. What do you think of him?"

"He was short of money and the food he had received in advance was almost gone. When he heard about the work that could earn him work points, he wanted to contribute his own strength."

"My sister is getting married soon, and we are saving up for her dowry. Our comrades at the educated youth camp are in need, and uncle has always been a generous person, so he will definitely not remain indifferent."

The captain was so angry. He thought he had changed his mind, but it turned out that he was still the same and helped others. He was really capable!
"Can you please stop being so lazy? Why don't you think about your family?"

"If you had come here for yourself, I would have thought you could be saved, but now you've been left here for someone else."

Chen Huaiyang shrank his neck. He had no way to argue anymore. He could only touch his nose guiltily and dared not say a word.

The captain's wife came out and saw Chen Huaiyang being bullied and not daring to say a word. She glared at her husband and said, "That's enough. If Xiao Chen doesn't like it, then he doesn't like it!"

"It's freezing cold, and it's really painful to get up. People call you uncle left and right, you can't not feel sorry for them at all!"

"Xiao Chen, you just gave me some cloth, so I can't let you spend any more money. Take these back and use them yourself."

"Don't take your uncle's words to heart. He is used to working hard and can't stand others being lazy."

The captain sat aside angrily without saying a word. It turned out that he was wrong in the end. If Chen Huaiyang was not such an open-minded person, he would not have bothered to pay attention to him!

He waved his hand and went into the room.

Out of sight, out of mind. I'm too lazy to look at it.

Chen Huaiyang said, "Auntie, you can't refuse. This is for our sister's makeup. Besides, we grown men are used to rough things. A thermos is enough."

"It was given to me by a fellow educated youth. I just built a porcelain basin. It didn't cost much."

"Our uncle is angry. Please help me comfort him. I know he is doing this for my own good. He feels so disappointed in me that I am not diligent enough."

"I've been feeling really tired lately. I'm not being lazy on purpose, but my body just can't keep up and I'm a little overwhelmed."

The captain's wife felt distressed when she heard this, and hurriedly took out a dozen eggs for him, "Take them back to replenish your body. I guess you are too tired and can't handle it."

"You can't refuse. These eggs are laid by the chickens at home. They are nothing compared to what you usually give me. If you refuse, Auntie will be unhappy."

"I'll let my uncle take care of this for you. Although everyone wants to seize the opportunity, your uncle will be the one who makes the final choice. You can rest assured!"

Chen Huaiyang nodded, "Auntie, I'll go back first. Don't forget to call me when you have a banquet. Let me go to satisfy my craving and bring some blessings."

Chen Huaiyang is such a person. Even if he takes advantage, he does it clearly and openly, which makes people feel comfortable when seeing it.

The captain's wife smiled brightly, "I'll have to send the bride off when the time comes. I want you to go with me!"

"Her eldest brother has a sullen personality and can't speak as eloquently as you do. If you go along, you can help save face."

Chen Huaiyang agreed without hesitation, "As long as you can use it, there is absolutely no reason to refuse."

"When the time comes, just give me a call and I will definitely follow you quickly."

What's the trouble?

As long as it can build relationships, he is willing to put in some effort.
