1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

The older educated youth had already witnessed a good show while cooking, so they naturally wouldn't misunderstand. Everyone knew who Bai Wei was explaining to.

Seeing that Gu Xiangnan's face was even darker than the bottom of a pot, Niu Zhaodi quickly tried to smooth things over, and the atmosphere became a bit more lively.

"Since that's the case, and everyone has to work this afternoon, let's get started!"

"First of all, welcome to the new educated youth! I am Qi Jun, the head of the educated youth compound!"

"Clap clap clap~"

Everyone burst into applause.

Qi Jun said a few words of encouragement as per procedure, and then asked everyone to introduce themselves.

After Qi Jun finished speaking, all the newly arrived educated youth looked at Bai Wei, their eyes filled with a complex expression that was hard to decipher.

Bai Wei stood up, blushing. "Hello everyone, my name is Bai Wei. Please feel free to guide me if I have any questions in the future!"

After Bai Wei finished speaking, it was Gu Xiangnan's turn. "Hello everyone, my name is Gu Xiangnan, and I'm from Beijing. I hope you'll all take care of me in the future!"

After the two introduced themselves, it was another girl's turn.

The girl was pretty, and her clothes had a few patches on them, so she seemed to be of average means.

But standing next to the glamorous Bai Wei, she looked rather shabby. Perhaps she realized this, so she kept her eyes downcast and dared not look at anyone.

"Hello everyone, my name is Guan Li!"

Seeing that Guan Li was a little shy, another boy stood up automatically.

"Hello everyone, my name is Tang Qing. I hope you will all guide me in the future!"

"My name is Yan Su, Su as in 'to trace back to the source'!"

Wen Li smiled and clapped her hands. This Yan Su really lived up to his name.

After the new educated youth introduced themselves, the veteran educated youth also introduced themselves according to the procedure.

Deng Wei left some food for Su Hao, and then everyone announced that they should start eating.

The new educated youth didn't seem like the type to cause trouble, and by the end of the meal, they had become much more familiar with each other.

Wen Li also got a general understanding of everyone's personalities, and overall, everyone seemed to have pretty good personalities.

After finishing their meal, everyone packed up and went home. Qi Jun was responsible for taking the new educated youth to the village to collect their grain, so he didn't go back to the backyard.

Wen Li and Chen Yan took a short nap at noon and didn't go to work in the afternoon. However, Li Xiangxiang came looking for them, her face showing excitement at having heard some juicy gossip.

"Do you know why the new educated youth arrived so late last night?"

Wen Li and Chen Yan asked in a very cooperative manner, "Why?"

"Because the new educated youth, Bai, and Gu had a fight for some reason, Bai ran away. She was unfamiliar with the area and got lost, so everyone searched for her for several hours before finding her!"

Wen Li was so shocked that she could fit an egg in her mouth.

"The commune is such a small place, how many hours did it take you to search?"

Hongxing Commune wasn't very big to begin with. Normally, you could just walk around the commune a couple of times, which would only take an hour if you walked fast. But looking for someone would take several hours.

A hint of disdain flashed in Li Xiangxiang's eyes. "Of course not. Do you know where everyone found her?"

Wen Li and Chen Yan both shook their heads in unison, "Where?"

Li Xiangxiang pursed her lips and didn't keep them in suspense any longer.

"I heard that she got lost on the road and then met a three or four-year-old girl who had gotten lost. She took the little girl home by herself. The little girl's home was in the countryside, and she was unfamiliar with the area. The little girl didn't know the way home either, so she led the little girl and asked for directions along the way to find the little girl's home."

"They eventually got lost in the village, and we had to report it to the police before they were found in a small village near the commune!"

Wen Li and Chen Yan's first thought after hearing this was that Bai Wei was out of her mind.

The little girl can't even speak clearly, yet she's expected to know the way home?

Why didn't she report it to the police?

Li Xiangxiang shrugged. "I don't know!"

"My dad and Uncle Li were terrified. Thankfully, they found the person in the end, otherwise my dad would have lost his job as the brigade leader!"

Chen Yan: "The captain didn't yell at anyone?"

"How can we scold her? Although it took everyone several hours to find her, she meant well!"

"Besides, the new educated youth don't mind, so my dad can't really say anything!"

Wen Li found the whole thing absurd. Whether Bai Wei was genuinely kind or just wanted to make Gu Xiangnan worry after their argument, only she knew the truth.

They just listened to it as gossip, but after this incident, Wen Li felt that the educated youth compound would become lively again.

The three of them chatted and gossiped while chopping vegetables, keeping themselves quite busy.

Su Hao didn't return to the educated youth compound until two or three in the afternoon, riding his bicycle back to the compound.

His bicycle was covered with things, mostly household items, which were clearly prepared for Bai Wei.

A short while later, Bai Wei followed Su Hao to the backyard.

She smiled and nodded to Wen Li and Chen Yan, then stood at the door of Su Hao's house to observe the situation inside.

She frowned slightly, her pretty eyebrows furrowing. "Is your room the only one in the backyard?"

"Yes, they're all occupied; there aren't any empty rooms!"

Bai Wei pouted in dissatisfaction, "It's alright. You and Deng Wei aren't on good terms, are you? Why don't you and Deng Wei move to the front yard, and he can give his room to Xiang Nan?"

Wen Li and Chen Yan exchanged a glance, their minds filled with questions.

Deng Wei crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, his lips twitching involuntarily, but he didn't say anything, wanting to see Su Hao's attitude.

Let's see if Su Hao, this simp, wants his brother or Bai Wei, this woman.

Deng Wei used to think Bai Wei was a simple and kind girl, but now the more he looks at her, the more he thinks she's a bit like a crazy old woman.

He had heard about what happened yesterday, and after hearing it, he fell silent, not even knowing where to begin his complaint.

Wen Li and Chen Yan also stared intently at Su Hao.

Only Li Xiangxiang was watching the spectacle with a detached, amused attitude.

"Sorry, that's a house that Deng Wei paid for to rent. I have no right to make decisions for him!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, fearing that Su Hao might do something foolish.

Bai Wei didn't expect Su Hao to reject her; he had never rejected her before!

Could it be that Su Hao has fallen for someone else?

Bai Wei's eyes reddened with grievance, and her brokenness evoked a protective instinct in one's heart.

Su Hao panicked when he saw her crying.

"Don't be sad. There's still an empty house over there. I'll go to the village chief's house and ask Jiang Zhiqing. If he's willing, I'll help you rent it!"

Su Haoming knew that Jiang Chen didn't like them, and even if he asked, the result wouldn't change, but he still wanted to give it a try.

Not only did he give his own room to Bai Wei, but he also tried to find a way to help the boy Bai Wei liked solve his housing problem.

Wen Li: I love it!

"Thank you, Su. I just wanted to live closer to Xiang Nan. You understand, right?"

Su Hao was dazzled by Bai Wei's smile and couldn't think straight, nodding repeatedly.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best!"

With the assurance in hand, Bai Wei's face broke into a bright smile once again.

"Thank you, Su!"

Su Hao's ears turned bright red, too embarrassed to look at Bai Wei's face. "No, you're welcome!"

Deng Wei shook his head. He hadn't actually had much contact with Bai Wei. Now it seemed he had been blind before. How could he have thought Bai Wei was so innocent and kind?
