They had figured it out. Bai Suli was just fond of comparisons, and it would be best to keep their distance from her in the future.
Once they had settled in, the old Branch Secretary and his nephew, Yang Shaoling, returned as well, their cart carrying even more items. The old Branch Secretary glanced over leisurely. "If everyone’s here, let’s get going."
Forty minutes later, two oxcarts slowly entered the village.
During this time, Bai Suli tried several times to show off the things she had just bought. Unfortunately, Yunyi and Geng Erhong simply wouldn’t engage with her, leaving her quite frustrated.
The oxcart took them directly to the Zhiqing Point.
At this time, the villagers had just finished their work for the day, and the Educated Youths residing at the Zhiqing Point had also just returned to the courtyard.
Hearing the commotion outside, someone came out to meet them. "Branch Secretary, have you brought the new people back?"
While speaking to the old Branch Secretary, the person’s eyes were fixed on the oxcart, and upon glimpsing the piled-high luggage, a calculating look flashed in their eyes.
The old Branch Secretary introduced the newly disembarked Educated Youths, "This is Xie Lizhu, a senior Educated Youth from the Zhiqing Point."
After finishing his introduction, he called into the courtyard, "Has Wang Jianhui returned yet?"
Wang Jianhui, who had just washed his hands in the courtyard, hurried out upon hearing the old Branch Secretary’s call. "I’m here, I’m here! I just washed my hands."
The old Branch Secretary pointed to the people by the oxcart. "These are the new Educated Youths. See to their arrangements. Later, take them to the accountant to register and collect their food rations."
Then, addressing the weary-faced new Educated Youths, he said, "This is Wang Jianhui, the person in charge at the Zhiqing Point. Just follow his arrangements. You can rest tomorrow, but work starts the day after."
Bai Suli was the first to object. "Branch Secretary, we’ve been on the train for so long, then a bus, and then an oxcart. Our bodies are almost falling apart! Can’t we rest for a few more days?"
