Chapter 194 Tian Xingzhu Arrives at Lanshan Brigade
After shouting that, Qi Hongsheng's heart was in turmoil.
I couldn't calm down for a long time.
He hadn't heard a thing before his cousin, Tian Xingzhu, came to their village to work as a sent-down youth.
Moreover, he knew that his aunt's family was very well-off.
I don't know why he was willing to send his cousin to the countryside.
As far as he knew, Tian Xingzhu was only a few months older than him, but her personality and appearance were very similar to his shrewd aunt.
I don't know why his aunt would send her beloved daughter to the countryside.
At this moment, Qi Hongsheng was more concerned about whether his aunt was worried about him and had specially arranged for her daughter to come here to supervise him.
Does that mean his aunt's subsidies and allowances for him will soon be gone?
Thinking about this, he felt a little uneasy and anxious.
You should know that during this period, thanks to the subsidies from his aunt and his parents, he lived a very comfortable life.
Even though he lost more than 200 yuan when he was robbed by two gangsters last time, it was nothing to him now and did not affect his standard of living.
Just as he had thought during his previous interrogation, he was prepared to slowly wear the game down.
Although he lived in the countryside, he had money and ration coupons, and he would go to the commune's state-run restaurant every two or three days to spend money. His life was no worse than if he worked in the city.
They don't even have to work hard every day, and they can still receive a monthly subsidy.
He was so happy during that time that he didn't even want to leave.
Thinking about just living like this isn't so bad.
But I never expected that the good days would be over so soon.
His cousin, Tian Xingzhu, was not someone who could be easily fooled.
They cannot tolerate even the slightest imperfection.
She's just like my aunt; you can't hide anything from her.
Unlike Qi Hongsheng, Tian Xingzhu already knew.
Her mother had told her early on that her cousin from her aunt's side was also sent to the countryside.
Previously, he was also assigned to track and supervise.
With him here, it would be much more convenient and easier for her to come to the countryside, since she would have an acquaintance to help with introductions and arrangements.
Nodding, Tian Xingzhu didn't say much at this moment. There were too many people around, so she decided to talk about it later.
Since arriving at the educated youth compound after getting off the train, Tian Xingzhu has maintained a calm expression, without the disdain and complaints typical of city girls who have been sent to the countryside.
This performance earned them the praise of the captain who came to pick them up.
You have to understand that he has taken in so many batches of educated youth, especially female educated youth, and there were very few who did not complain. He was really not likable.
Although the girl was dressed elegantly, she looked like she came from a wealthy family in the city.
But their performance was extremely good.
After the captain finished his introduction, he turned and went back.
The accommodations for the three newly arrived educated youths were arranged by the male and female leaders of the educated youths.
As expected, the two female educated youths moved into the previously vacant beds.
In the end, Tian Xingzhu was assigned to Jiang Yun's bed, while the other female educated youth was assigned to Lü Yulan's bed.
Hu Fangming looked at the newly arrived female educated youth, Tian Xingzhu, who was living next to her, and remained silent for a moment, just observing her quietly.
She just thought the girl was really calm, without showing any dissatisfaction.
That's really not simple.
She didn't know that Tian Xingzhu wasn't as indifferent as she appeared.
But she was already mentally prepared, knowing that the conditions in the countryside wouldn't be very good.
Moreover, she understood that her time in the countryside was only temporary, and given her family's circumstances, her mother would be able to transfer her back to the city in the shortest possible time.
In addition, she knew that this trip to the countryside was not just a simple trip; her mother had arranged other tasks for her, which were extremely important to her family and occupied all her attention.
At this point, accommodation and living conditions were not a major consideration.
This is all temporary for her. Even if it's tough, once things are settled and she returns to the city, she'll be free to roam the world.
With no further worries for her family, her later years will be truly prosperous, and no more unexpected accidents will occur.
Although Hu Fangming was doing his own thing, he would occasionally glance at the girl next to him who remained calm throughout.
She felt that this girl was very different from other educated youth who were going to the countryside for the first time, especially female educated youth.
This girl is either just like that by nature, or she has something on her mind.
The older educated youth discussed it and decided to welcome the newcomers with dinner, following the old tradition.
At noon, the group ate a few bites and rested for a while before Qi Hongsheng called Tian Xingzhu out.
Take her to the brigade to collect the grain and other supplies that have been allocated to her.
The two hadn't gone far from the educated youth compound when Qi Hongsheng couldn't wait to speak:
"Cousin, why did you go to the countryside? How did Auntie let you come?"
"Has something happened at home?"
His series of questions, delivered with an anxious expression, seemed genuine.
Tian Xingzhu glanced at Qi Hongsheng's expression.
I had a pretty good idea of why he was in such a hurry.
Her mother had explained everything to her before she came.
During this time, her mother frequently sent her cousin a lot of nice things, including various foods, money, receipts, and so on.
This person must have been worried when he saw her.
But these are all minor matters to them, as long as they can help get things done.
Even if they had to pay more, it would still be a drop in the ocean for her family.
Tian Xingzhu hadn't had a chance to properly observe the scenery of the fields after going to the countryside.
Ignoring Qi Hongsheng's anxious expression, she walked along the edge of the field, enjoying the scenery everywhere.
After she had admired it enough and whetted Qi Hongsheng's appetite, she glanced at her cousin, who was casually toying with a foxtail grass in his hand, twirling it around, before slowly and deliberately answering:
"What's the rush? I'm here, you'll find out soon enough."
Then she gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth and said casually:
"Don't worry, cousin, even if I come over, it won't affect you in any way."
You will never be shortchanged by your mother in any way she is entitled to.
Once I arrive, all you need to do is follow my instructions.
My coming here has nothing to do with you.
It's just that our family has been targeted recently, so someone has to go to the countryside.
"That's my turn now, what can I do? I'm a girl."
After she finished speaking, she shrugged, as if she were a little sad.
Hearing his explanation, Qi Hongsheng didn't quite believe it, but at least he didn't say anything more.
He felt a little relieved; as long as the subsidies continued, he didn't care about anything else.
Tian Xingzhu subconsciously didn't want to tell Qi Hongsheng the truth, since the more people who knew, the greater the risk.
Next, Qi Hongsheng described the recent actions of the two people from the commune, which had not yielded any significant progress.
Tian Xingzhu's sudden arrival caught Qi Hongsheng off guard.
At this point, he hadn't decided whether to tell Tian Xingzhu that he knew who they were looking for.
His mind raced, but he ultimately didn't say it.
