How can I do such a thing? I just admire Brother Liang, how can I force him like this? Maybe, maybe Brother Liang already has someone he likes in the army, then who am I?\"\n\n\n\nAunt Hu smiled, waved her hand, and said, \"Good boy, don't worry, there can't be one. Last time I borrowed a phone in the commune to call him, he said he didn't have one!\"\n\n\n\nNo matter how smart Lin Shu was, he was a little confused at this moment.\n\nShe kept saying \"no, no\", and Aunt Hu was more and more moved, and kept telling her to \"rest assured\".\n\n\n\nLin Shu was so sad that she wanted to cry but had no tears.\n\n\n\nAt night, she lay in bed and worried, because of this incident, even the sadness of leaving home suddenly and coming to such a strange mountain village was diluted a lot.\n\n\n\nOf course, she forgot to care about the harsh conditions in the dormitory, the hot kang, and the uncomfortable straw mattress.\n\n\"Shushu, I asked my cousin, Aunt Hu's family are all very nice people,\"\n\nXu Juan couldn't sleep on the kang opposite. She was a little excited and gossipy. Obviously, she planned to have a long talk with Lin Shu all night. She said, \"My cousin said that our brigade has three production teams, and the tasks of the educated youth are under the jurisdiction of Captain Liang, the eldest brother of Deputy Battalion Commander Liang. In fact, it was not only under Captain Liang's jurisdiction at the beginning. There were several people in each of the three production teams. But the other two production teams disliked our educated youth for not being able to work well, but still having too much work to do, and they still had to distribute food. They said that it would be easier to manage if we were assigned to one team, so they gave them all to Captain Liang.\"\n\n\"Captain Liang is a good person, and he doesn't dislike the educated youth. Although he is strict, he will assign tasks suitable for everyone, and he doesn't give us too many tasks just because we are educated youth. Qing deliberately assigned the dirty and tiring work to us. Our brigade does not have those dirty things that other brigades have. You don't know that the educated youth in other brigades and communes envy us. \"\n\n\n\n\"Also, you should have not gone to Shitan Brigade. My sister said that one of her classmates who came with her was forced to marry the eldest son of the brigade secretary of Shitan Brigade at the beginning of this year. She also said that because the brigade secretary had connections in Xizhou City, he could bring her back to the city and maybe even recommend her to go to university. My sister told me not to believe such nonsense. After getting married, she will definitely not let anyone go... Humph, that Secretary Zhou suddenly asked you to go to their brigade. Who knows what he is thinking! \"\n\n\n\nLin Shu was still a little absent-minded at first, but now he was shocked.\n\nOriginally, she thought it was strange that Zhou Darong would use the quota of private teachers to lure her and try to get her to Shitan Brigade. Then, she was suspicious, so she thought that Zhou Darong and Zhou Dajin were like that. Now, after listening to Xu Juan's words, the original five points of suspicion turned into nine points.\n\n\n\nThis is too coincidental.\n\n\n\n\"Shushu, what are you going to do about this?\"\n\n\n\nLin Shu was thinking about something when she heard Xu Juan say again, \"Now you are here, but Deputy Battalion Commander Liang is in the army. I heard that Deputy Battalion Commander Liang has not come back once in two years. What if Deputy Battalion Commander Liang has a girlfriend in the army?\"\n\n\n\nIt would be great if he really had a girlfriend.\n\n\n\nShe just had to apologize in shame... Lin Shu pulled the quilt and said, \"Let it go. Alas, the weather is so cold, and I don't know what work I have to do tomorrow. Has your sister told me?\"\n\n\n\nShe wanted to change the subject.\n\nHearing Lin Shu talking about this, Xu Juan's attention was indeed diverted. She said, \"Hmm,\" and said, \"I've asked around. We came at a good time. Although it's a little cold, we came during the busiest autumn harvest of the year. You don't know that this is a mountainous area, mainly planting cotton. October is the busiest time every year. My sister said that we have to go to the fields to pick cotton before dawn every day, and we are busy until eleven or twelve at night. Even with gloves, our hands are swollen.\" \"If we had come here two months ago, it would have been miserable. Fortunately, it's over now. My sister said it's much easier now. The female educated youth mainly help to take care of winter vegetables in the fields, and make pickled vegetables and dried vegetables. Every day, we pick vegetables and put them outside to dry for a few days, and then pickle them in jars. It sounds simple, but it's also very hard to do. By the way, did you bring gloves? Before I came, my sister specifically asked me to bring several pairs of gloves. If you don't have any, I'll give you a pair. In this winter, let alone pickling vegetables, you can't do anything without gloves.\" Lin Shu felt a little warm in his heart. She said softly, \"I brought it. When we get to the countryside, we will definitely make enough preparations.\"\n\n\n\nThe next day, they were indeed arranged to make pickled vegetables and pickled mustard greens.\n\n\n\nThe mustard greens had been dried two days ago.\n\n\n\nThe work for the day was to wash the vegetables, then put them in a large bathtub, sprinkle coarse salt on them, press and rub them with hands until they were dehydrated, then add salt layer by layer and put them in a large clay pot.\n\n\n\nCompared to the work in the fields, such work was considered light, but it was not easy for the female educated youth who had just gone to the countryside and rarely did housework for a long time.\n\n\n\nEspecially in the winter, it was even more difficult to sprinkle salt and rub the pickled vegetables.\n\n\n\n…Fortunately, Lin Shu and Xu Juan both brought gloves.\n\n\n\nGossip spreads quickly in the village.\n\n\n\nAt this time, almost all the women in the village hadI know that a new female educated youth has arrived, and she is Jinxi's girlfriend!\n\n  Oh, she is so pretty!\n\n  I heard that this girl went to the countryside specifically for Jinxi. Because of her good knowledge, she refused to be a teacher in the neighboring brigade, and she must come to their Qinghe Brigade.\n\n  So early in the morning, many people came to the brigade cafeteria to look around and see Jinxi's girlfriend! How beautiful she is! And chat with her by the way!\n\n  Although the villagers are gossipy, most of them are simple and friendly.\n\n  There are only a few exceptions.\n\n  For example, an aunt Tian Qiuhong from the Gaojia Village Production Team.\n\n  This person has a great history in Qinghe Brigade.\n\n  She is the cousin of the women's director Gao Lanzhen, her husband is the team leader of the Gaojia Village Production Team, her youngest son is a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative, and her daughter Gao Xiaolian is a teacher in the commune primary school.\n\n  Such a family would walk straighter than others in Qinghe Brigade!\n\nBut the girl from such a family fell in love with Liang Jinxi!\n\n\n\nTian Qiuhong said that with the conditions of her family and her daughter, there was no boy in the whole commune that her daughter could choose from. Even in the county, there were boys who liked her daughter and came to propose marriage, but her daughter fell in love with Liang Jinxi for some reason!\n\n\n\nTian Qiuhong didn't want to marry her daughter to a soldier.\n\n\n\nIt sounds good, but she has been away from home for several years. Wouldn't it be like being a widow if she got married?\n\n\n\nHow could it compare to marrying a cadre from the commune or county, which is stable and peaceful?\n\n\n\nIt was because Liang Jinxi had attended military school and looked promising that Tian Qiuhong reluctantly accepted and agreed to her daughter's marriage.\n\n\n\nIt just so happened that the person living next door to her house was none other than Liang Donghe, Liang Jinxi's cousin who married to Gaojia Village.\n\n\n\nTian Qiuhong went to find Liang Donghe and asked Liang Donghe to go to the Liang family to make a match.\n\nGao Xiaolian liked Liang Jinxi and had taken good care of Liang Donghe and her two daughters over the years, so Tian Qiuhong had no embarrassment in finding Liang Donghe. She felt that Liang Donghe was looking forward to the marriage for her own sake.\n\n\n\nLiang Donghe agreed.\n\n\n\nLiang Donghe really thought Gao Xiaolian was good, beautiful, generous and kind, so she went back to her parents' home and said a lot of good things to Aunt Hu after hearing Tian Qiuhong's advice.\n\n\n\nAunt Hu was persuaded by her niece a lot, and was anxious about her son's marriage. It seemed that there was no more suitable person in the countryside. She relented a few days ago and said that she would wait for her son to come back for the New Year to see him. If he didn't have a partner and agreed to meet him, then she would meet him.\n\n\n\nAt that time, Tian Qiuhong hummed in her heart, thinking that the Liang family was marrying up.\n\n\n\nBut suddenly last night, her cousin came to the door and said that Liang Jinxi had a partner!\n\n\n\nIt was a new educated youth!\n\n\n\nShe almost exploded when she heard the news!\n\n\n\nAt that time, she almost rushed to the Liang family to ask what was going on, but Gao Lanzhen stopped her and said, \"I think Mrs. Hu didn't know about it beforehand. Maybe Liang Jinxi talked about it in the army. You should find out what's going on first. After all, Xiaolian and Liang Jinxi are not engaged. It would be embarrassing for Xiaolian if she made a fuss.\"\n\n\n\nTian Qiuhong calmed down a little and came to her senses. The Liang family didn't promise anything to the Gao family. They said they would wait for their son to come back and only look if there was no partner... Now a partner suddenly appeared, didn't it?\n\n\n\nTian Qiuhong was getting angrier and angrier. After Gao Lanzhen left, she ran to Liang Donghe next door to ask her what was going on.\n\n\n\nLiang Donghe didn't know either. How could she know what was going on?\n\n\n\nLiang Donghe told Tian Qiuhong not to worry and wait for her to go back to her parents' home tomorrow to ask.\n\n\n\nBut before Liang Donghe could reply to her, she saw Lin Shu in the canteen of the brigade the next day.\n\nLin Shu sat next to Aunt Hu. Oh, it doesn't matter if she doesn't see him. Tian Qiuhong's eyes were full of anger when she saw her delicate little vixen.\n\n\n\nMrs. Hu smiled, as if she liked him very much!\n\n\n\nShe just glanced at her lightly, as if she had forgotten what they had said before!\n\n\n\nShe became even more upset when she heard everyone chatting and Aunt Hu protecting the little vixen everywhere.\n\n\n\nHer eyes were like hooks, slicing Lin Shu from top to bottom, and finally fixed on Lin Shu's hands.\n\n\n\nLin Shu actually wore a pair of gloves on his hands.\n\n\n\nYou've been sent to the countryside, and you're so precious!\n\n\n\nShe said, \"When making pickled vegetables, the most important thing is to knead them with your hands. If you wear gloves, how can you feel whether the kneading is strong enough, even, and to what extent? Also, the temperature of your hands is transmitted to the vegetables, and the vegetables are the most delicious.\"\n\n\n\nTian Qiuhong was not talking nonsense.\n\n\n\nThis was the same phrase her daughter Gao Xiaolian used two days ago when she praised her noodles for being delicious, better than noodles made by machines outside, and she just copied it here.\n\n\n\nEveryone looked at Tian Qiuhong.\n\n\n\nLin Shu also glanced at Tian Qiuhong, then looked at the dish in her hand and smiled embarrassedly.\n\n\n\nWhether it was because of the gloves or not, her cooking was indeed not as good as that of the aunties and grandmas.\n\n\n\nXu Juan also looked at the dish in her hand with doubt, wondering if it was really like this.\n\nSeeing that the two girls looked like honest people and easy to control, Tian Qiuhong became more excited and more confident. She said to them earnestly, \"Our great leader said that you educated youth go to the countryside to receive re-education and training from the poor and lower-middle peasants. You should change the bad habits of city people. You should do your work with all your heart and soul without any pretense. You should knead pickles, so why wear gloves...\" With a \"snap\", Lin Shu and Xu Juan did not say anything, but Hu Yingzhi on the side refused to do it.Others are afraid of Tian Qiuhong, but Aunt Hu is not afraid of them because she is holding their family.\n\n\n\nShe threw the snow red in her hand into the basin and said to Tian Qiuhong: \"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you see that people in big factories wear gloves when making these foods? This is called hygiene! If you are ignorant, you have to misinterpret the leader's meaning! The educated youth went to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, but they also brought knowledge to the countryside. They should learn from each other and make progress together!\"\n\n\n\n\"What's wrong with wearing gloves to knead pickles in the winter? These gloves are tools! You don't need a hoe to hoe the ground, you use your hands to hoe, and you don't need a spatula to stir-fry vegetables with your hands! If you try to stir-fry vegetables without a spatula, then Lin Zhiqing and Xu Zhiqing will also take off their gloves to knead the pickles!\"\n\n\n\nTian Qiuhong was so angry that she collapsed.\n\n\n\nWhat kind of nonsense is this? Can this be the same?\n\n\n\nThe people present laughed without caring about Tian Qiuhong's feelings.",2456,"2026-06-08T05:25:11.679Z",1,null,"ff32a3a384f37588d247c4bf4fd49bd3eb057ce8dc8afa5e82d4bd5cdbe4c7a6","novel-8","novel-6",161,"\u002Fcovers\u002F2744d9e2-255e-4853-bafb-59a1dcb29203-1780896310485.jpg"]
