Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 35 My Educated Youth Husband is Gone and Never to Return

"Xiao He, your big brother is here."

As Jiang He walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, her older brother came over pushing his bicycle.

"Big brother, here's a piece of candy for you."

"Big brother is so old, he doesn't need candy. You keep it for yourself."

"Then brother, have some cookies."

Jiang He took out a biscuit and stuffed it into her older brother's mouth.

Jiang Shan swallowed the biscuit in one gulp, smacking his lips. "So fragrant, so delicious!" he exclaimed.

We made our way back to Dayang Brigade, all the way with clanging and banging.

I met Jiang's father at the entrance of the brigade.

"Dad, we're back."

"Captain, are these the educated youth who have come to our brigade?"

Two men and two women got off Jiang's father's tractor, carrying large and small bags of luggage.

"Yes, Jiang Shan went to pick up Xiao He again. Old Jiang, you've had a hard day. You should go home early too."

The people have been brought back, so let the educated youth pack up on their own.

Today, in order to pick up the educated youth, the brigade leader and Lao Jiang went out before dawn and have been busy all day.

"He'er, you go back first. Dad will drive the tractor to the brigade and be back soon."

"Captain, Dad, we're leaving now."

Watching Jiang Shan and Jiang He's departing figures, the educated youth were all a little curious.

Judging from the conversation just now, it seems to be Master Jiang's son and daughter.

Master Jiang was right there, so they couldn't very well ask him anything in front of him. They could only suppress their curiosity, pack their luggage, and settle in.

This educated youth settlement was originally an empty house in the brigade. It was simply renovated and the educated youth were allowed to move in.

"This is the educated youth settlement. You will live here from now on. It's just right that the male educated youth will share one room and the female educated youth will share one room. You can take care of yourselves."

"You have two days to rest and recuperate. After two days, you'll start working with the other members of the production brigade. If you need anything, just come to the brigade to find me."

The captain gave a few instructions and then left.

"Auntie is back! Auntie is back!"

Hearing the jingling sound, several children playing in the yard rushed to the gate.

"Auntie, Auntie."

Jiang He saw several little kids standing in a row waving at her.

"My darlings, Auntie is back."

Jiang He stretched out her arms, and the little ones rushed forward and hugged her.

"Hey, you all only see Auntie and no one sees me?"

"Hello, Uncle."

"Oh, Erbao, Sanbao, Wubao are so good."

"Dad, you'd better hurry up and put the bicycle away. Mom is waiting for you to go chop firewood."

"You brat, you're ordering me around now." Jiang Shan pointed at Da Bao's forehead.

"Jiang Shan, are you back? Hurry up and chop some firewood!" came a shout from the courtyard.

"Okay. I'm coming right away."

Jiang Shan quickly picked up the bicycle, put it inside the house, and then went to chop firewood.

"Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, Si Bao, Wu Bao, come on, come inside with your aunt."

Da Bao and Si Bao are the eldest brother's two sons, Er Bao is the second brother's daughter, San Bao is the third brother's daughter, and Wu Bao is the second brother's son.

They walked hand in hand into the courtyard.

"Xiao He is back. Come and wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon." The eldest sister-in-law drew a basin of water from the well and then went back to the kitchen to cook.

Jiang He called on everyone to wash their hands together, and after checking that they were clean, she placed a piece of fruit candy in each person's palm.

"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Auntie."

Everyone carefully put the candy in their pockets; it was almost time to eat, so they weren't going to eat candy now.

Besides, they've already eaten candy today, so they'll save this one for tomorrow.

Jiang He took out some biscuits from her pocket.

"Auntie bought cookies today, one for each of us. Okay, go play now, dinner will be ready soon, don't go too far."

"Thank you, Auntie. You're so kind."

Several people gathered around, took out a cookie, broke it open, and each person took a small piece to taste.

"Delicious, delicious."

"It smells so good, it tastes delicious."

"My aunt is so kind; she brings us food every day."

“My dad said that all the money my aunt earned was eaten up by us.”

"My dad also told us to eat less."

"This cookie is so delicious, it must be very expensive. If we share one a day, it will last us for five days."

Jiang He put her backpack in the room, then took her lunchbox to the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you."

"I'll be done soon, can you serve me some rice?"

"Okay, I'll do it."

Jiang He took the rice bowl and scooped the rice out of the pot. Today's dish was millet and sweet potato rice.

The Jiang family is large, and the meal is served in a huge pot.

Although it's a mixed grain, it's eaten dry, which is already quite good.

The eldest sister-in-law quickly brought out the dishes.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, their second, third, and fourth brothers, and their second and third sisters-in-law also returned.

"Father, Mother, wash your hands and eat."

Jiang He filled a basin with water.

"He'er, are you tired from work today?"

"Mother, I'm not tired."

The Jiang family, a full fifteen people, sat down around the table.

Father Jiang picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat."

Then everyone started eating.

After finishing her meal, Jiang He took the snacks she had bought that day to her parents' room.

"Father, Mother, these are peach shortbreads I brought for you."

"He'er, you don't need to bring any for your parents. Buy yourself some good food." Jiang's mother stuffed the peach cakes into Jiang He's hands.

"Mother, I have money, this is my way of showing my respect to you."

"He'er is so kind, we'll accept it." Father Jiang was very pleased with Jiang He's gesture.

“We’ll accept this time, but you can’t spend money recklessly next time. You’re not a child anymore, it’s time to save up for your dowry. This will all be your personal savings then.”

"Mom, I'm still young. I don't want to get married. I know it won't be as comfortable as staying at home."

"You, you're just talking nonsense."

"Alright, alright, He'er is still young. I also can't bear to see He'er get married. The educated youth I brought here today all looked disheveled, and one of them was even secretly wiping away tears."

These children who have left home look so pitiful.

"I can't bear to part with my He'er."

Upon hearing her father mention the educated youth, Jiang He sat down next to him.

"Dad, who is that educated youth who's secretly crying? She's so spoiled."

"Among these four educated youths, there was a brother and sister. The brother's name was Zhao Guangming, and the sister's name was Zhao Xiu."

"I know, it must be that educated youth named Zhao Xiu who cried."

“He’er is so smart. These educated youth from the city don’t know how to work in the fields. They can’t even carry their luggage, let alone do any work. The brigade has to support these people. If it weren’t for the commune’s arrangement, the brigade leader wouldn’t want them.”

Mr. Jiang said he felt frustrated when he went to the station to pick someone up today. He complained that he couldn't carry the luggage, couldn't climb onto the tractor, and felt nauseous because of the bumpy ride.

It's good enough that a tractor picked them up; some brigades have to walk back. And they all make so much trouble.

"Dad, since we're here, let's just make the best of it. We should just mind our own business. Those educated youths don't really have much to do with us."

"Yes, it has nothing to do with us."
