Chapter 69: Ye Ge Follows the Crowd

Xu Qinghuan officially started work today.

Except for the four female and one male educated youth who were still living in the hospital, the rest of the educated youth had also come to work.

"I heard there was a mass poisoning at the educated youth camp last night. They said the cook didn't cook the beans thoroughly, and all the educated youth were killed!"

"I had vomiting and diarrhea and nearly lost my life. Several educated youth were sent to the county hospital. It was quite scary!"

"They've all been poisoned, so how can these educated youth still come to work?"

Xu Qinghuan came with her sisters and waited for assignments at the brigade headquarters. The local members were in one group, and the educated youth were in a separate group, clearly separated.

She had nothing to do, so she pricked up her ears to listen to gossip, and she heard everyone talking about the poisoning at the educated youth site.

This is a big deal. There are no secrets in the production team. I'm afraid it will spread throughout the area by now.

The team leader also arrived. Seeing Chen Dewen and the others, he was a little surprised and asked, "Chen Zhiqing, how are you feeling? If you're not feeling well, take a couple of days off. There's no need to rush back to work."

It's not the busy farming season for planting and harvesting, where everyone has to go to work unless they are too sick to leave the fields. It's just some field care and land reclamation.

Chen Dewen said, "I'm fine anyway, I can go to work."

If he doesn't work, he won't have food to eat. Chen Dewen doesn't wait for work points to earn a living, but being proactive will always be beneficial for his future.

For example, recommending a job, or recommending a Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

Everyone has the same idea.

The captain asked several people in succession, and they all said they were in good health and nothing was wrong, so he stopped asking and advised, "Take care of yourselves and don't force yourself to do it, or you'll get into trouble."

Dai Yifeng smiled and said, "I have to thank Xu Zhiqing for this. Her medicine is effective. Otherwise, I would have to lie in bed for several days like the others in the hospital."

After hearing this, Xu Qinghuan became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Xu Zhiqing, you can also cure diseases!" The captain's wife had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but the captain couldn't explain the whole story, so she was very curious.

Xu Qinghuan was quite calm. In her previous life, she was used to living in the spotlight, which cultivated her indifference to fame and fortune. She smiled and said, "Auntie, I've learned that headaches and fevers are nothing serious."

People couldn't tell whether he was being modest or if this was really all he was capable of.

Chen Dewen added, "Anyway, it was Xu Zhiqing who saved our lives!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Previously, there was a suspicion that someone had poisoned the educated youth camp. I was terrified. Who on earth was slandering the reputation of our production team? If this got out, it would scare people to death.

It was Xu Zhiqing who immediately said the beans were undercooked. Later, the doctor at the county hospital confirmed that was the cause, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief. We should thank Xu Zhiqing!"

The team leader took the opportunity to commend Xu Qinghuan and led the applause.

"Yes, thanks to Xu Zhiqing. Who on earth is spouting such nonsense and poisoning people? Why would anyone harm the educated youth for no reason?"

The villagers were also filled with righteous indignation. If this news got out, what would become of their Shangjiang Brigade?
Xu Qinghuan responded to everything with a smile. Seeing that it was not over yet, she became a little impatient. "Captain, doctors are kind-hearted. I can't just stand by and watch someone die. This is not a big deal."

Jiang Xingye sat in the corner, on his usual throne. After he had sat on this seat a few times, no one dared to sit there anymore. Beside him were two other second-rate guys who had a good relationship with him.

Everyone applauded. Dong Youfu and Hu Hai had scoffed at first, but when they saw Brother Ye actually clapping along and looking proud of it, they were both stunned.

After clapping a few times in a confused manner, Dong Youfu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ye, why are you still clapping?"

Brother Ye used to look down on the educated youth the most. He despised the male educated youth for not working hard, and the female educated youth for being shameless and willing to give up anything for food. As long as a female educated youth wanted to get close to him, he would run faster than a rabbit.

When has Brother Ye ever worried about the affairs of the educated youth!
He actually clapped today, louder than anyone else. "Just follow the crowd!"

After Jiang Xingye said this, he walked towards the team leader, who was calling him and asking him whether he wanted to weed or reclaim land.

This left Dong Youfu and Hu Hai stunned for a long time. Damn it, just following the crowd! When had Brother Ye ever done such a tasteless thing?

But they just couldn't understand why Brother Ye had changed his temper.

Xu Qinghuan took a hoe and followed the aunts to weed. The team leader's wife pulled her into her own team. Just as she walked out of the team headquarters, she was stopped by Dai Yifeng.

Xu Qinghuan paused and let the aunts go first. The aunts smiled meaningfully, not knowing what they were thinking of.

Xu Qinghuan didn't take it seriously and asked, "Dai Zhiqing, what's the matter?"

Dai Yifeng handed her one dollar and eighty cents. "This is for medical treatment. Each of you contributed twenty cents. It's not much, but it's what we should give."

Xu Qinghuan didn't act pretentiously and took it directly. When he put it in his pocket, he took the opportunity to put it into the space.

All her valuables were placed in the space.

"Okay, if you still feel uncomfortable, you can come to me. I can cure any disease!" Xu Qinghuan took the opportunity to advertise himself.

She could earn one yuan and eighty cents from the herbs she picked from the mountains and some goods in her space, which was enough to buy at least two kilograms of food. It was pretty good.

"I hope I don't have to look for you." Dai Yifeng said with a smile.

Jiang Xingye also took out a hoe and happened to see Xu Qinghuan talking and laughing with a male educated youth. His eyes turned cold, he turned his face away, and walked away with the hoe on his shoulder.

Dai Yifeng was assigned to another team. He was going to dig a ditch, so he separated from Xu Qinghuan and went in two different directions.

Yu Xiaomin and Qiao Xinyu did not form a team with her, and each followed their own large group.

Xu Qinghuan suddenly didn't know which direction to go.

Seeing Jiang Xingye walking ahead, she hurried over and shouted, "Jiang... Jiang... Comrade Jiang!"

It wasn't because she was out of breath, but because she realized that if she called out "Brother Jiang" at this moment, more than 200% of people would turn around to look at her.

Although Jiang Xingye was walking in front, in fact, his attention was always on the back. When he heard her hurried footsteps, he slowed down his long legs.

"Brother Jiang!" Xu Qinghuan called out softly. When she looked up, she had a sweet smile on her face, just like a peach blossom peeking out from the corner of the wall in spring. Her cheeks were white and tender, and her pair of deer eyes were wet, as if they could speak, making people's mouths dry.

Jiang Xingye's Adam's apple rolled, and the fingers hanging by his side had the urge to touch her cheek, but he held them down tightly.

"I don't know where my team is. Brother Jiang, do you know where Aunt Zhou and the others' land is?" Xu Qinghuan asked in annoyance.

In fact, even if she had asked where the land was, she wouldn't have known the direction.

"Follow me!" Jiang Xingye said indifferently, walking much slower than usual.

The land was on the west side of the brigade. She had to pass through the production team and when she passed the road leading to the back mountain, Xu Qinghuan met her former friends. Shuanzi and the others gathered together with their backpacks and surrounded her when they saw Xu Qinghuan.

"Sister Fairy, won't you come with us to pick grass for the pigs?" Shuanzi was so sad!
