Chapter 433: You City Folks Are So Particular

She had just run to the information center at the village entrance, wanting to share the gossip she'd just heard, when she saw another jeep heading toward Liu Village: "What big occasion is this today? Why has another car come?"

The car stopped as it approached, and the young man driving rolled down the window: "Fellow villager, may I ask where the educated youth station is?"

Bai Da, the loudmouth, was the first to rush over: "Who are you looking for?"

The young driver glanced toward the back seat and saw a beautiful girl sitting there who calmly spoke a name: "Ding Surong."

Upon hearing it was Educated Youth Ding, Bai Da said: "Educated Youth Ding doesn't live at the youth station; she rented a house from a villager."

The young driver was very well-mannered, handing out a few candies directly: "Auntie, please trouble you to show us the way."

Bai Da hadn't expected such a good thing: "Oh my, no trouble at all, just follow me."

Though he said that, his eyes kept glancing at the driver's seat in front. Since the girl in the back hadn't spoken, the young driver could only say to Bai Da: "Auntie, you go ahead; I can keep up."

Hearing this, Bai Da also knew that hoping to ride in this iron beast for a moment of glory was out of the question.

He couldn't help but complain inwardly: So stingy.

Looking at the two candies in his hand, he raised his finger and pointed ahead: "Go straight from here, turn left at the intersection ahead, and the third house is it. However, at this hour, Educated Youth Ding should be working in the fields."

Before the young driver could speak, the girl in the back seat spoke first: "Grab another handful of candies for her and have her run the errand."

Before the young man could say anything, Bai Da smiled and leaned toward the car window: "No problem. No matter where Educated Youth Ding is working, I will definitely find her for you."

At that moment, someone spoke from behind: "Bai Da, did you leave the field work to your daughter again and run here to shirk your duties?"

How could Bai Da possibly admit it? "It's just that my health isn't good. My daughter feels sorry for me; this is something you can only envy. Enough chit-chat with you; I must go to the fields to find Educated Youth Ding."

Before she finished speaking, she ran out, fearing those people would see she had gotten candies, feel resentful, and report her to the Party Secretary, leading to another scolding.

The place where the educated youth were working today was somewhat far. True to her word, she ran quite a distance before finding the person: "Ding Zhiqing, someone has driven a car to find you."

Hearing this, Ding Surong felt somewhat puzzled. Her father had only just visited a short while ago; it was unlikely he would come again in the short term. Who would come looking for her?

Nevertheless, she asked the squad leader for leave: "Auntie, thank you for running all this way."

As she spoke, she took two pieces of fruit candy from her pocket and handed them over: "Here, for Auntie to enjoy a sweet taste."

Bai Da hadn't expected such a good thing: "It's such a small matter; you city folks are just so particular."

Though she said that, her hand reached out with incredible speed.

When she saw the person, she said: "Sister Shufang, why have you come here?"

Actually, the two were not close; they had only met a few times. Ding Surong couldn't figure out why Qi Shufang had come to find her.

After all, she lived in the Military District Compound; although her father held some minor power, it was nothing compared to the Qi family: "Sister Shufang, come inside for a drink of water."

Speaking thus, she led the way, entering through the Liu family's old house and opening the gate to the newly built small courtyard.

Qi Shufang did not let the driver follow in, as the words she was about to speak could not be known by outsiders.

By now, the Liu family had finished arguing. Except for Liu Jiandong, who heard the commotion and stood in his room looking outside, everyone else was sitting in the room fuming in silence.
