"I heard the sound of the door being locked, did you guys hear it?" Wang Qin asked the other three young female educated youth while sitting in her own bed. Among them, two were veteran educated youth, and one had co last winter.
"What’s up?"
The girl who spoke was the one who ca last winter, the sa person Wang Qin had ntioned in front of Yan Rou, and who had seen Kang Yihong and Yan Rou going down the mountain together a few days ago. Her na was Cui Nina.
Wang Qin: "It’s already dark, aren’t you curious where they went?"
The two veteran educated youth said nothing.
Cui Nina didn’t show much curiosity on her face either. She took off her cotton coat and slid into bed, saying, "Where they go is none of our business. I’m not interested in knowing."
"Aren’t you envious that Yan Rou and Kang Yihong are getting along so well?"
Wang Qin looked at Cui Nina, her face full of gossip. "We’re all educated youth here. I think Yan Rou is much more capable than us. Just a mont ago, she was dumped, and imdiately after, she hooked up with the Team Leader’s grandson. I feel jealous just thinking about it."
Cui Nina: "What’s there to be envious about? Being stuck in this mountain village for a lifeti, I’d never want that."
"Why does she have to stay here for a lifeti? Let tell you, don’t underestimate Yan Rou’s abilities. Her previous partner was quite good-looking and got into university. The one she’s with now looks better than the last one, and his academic scores are better, too. Just wait and see; maybe after New Year’s, Yan Rou will leave with Kang Yihong."
With a sour tone, Wang Qin saw that Cui Nina and the two veteran educated youth were all lost in thought, and added: "Believe it or not, I think my guess is pretty close to the truth."
After a while, Cui Nina said: "What if you’re right? As you said, that just ans Yan Rou is capable. I’m not envious anyway."
"Yes, yes, you’re not envious. After all, you just have to wait for your acceptance letter to arrive, and you can pack up and leave. But as for ... unless I get through the college entrance exam in a few months, I’ll probably be stuck here."
Wang Qin sighed deeply: "If only I were as pretty as Yan Rou."
At this point, one of the veteran educated youth said: "I heard that a young male educated youth from the neighboring village ran away overnight a week ago."
"That’s nothing new."
Wang Qin said: "That male educated youth seems to be called Shen Yunxiu. He was the best-looking among the male educated youth in their village but had poor health, so he joined the team over here six years ago...
and married the youngest daughter of the Team Leader not long after, instantly changing roles to beco a substitute teacher at the village school. Over the past few years, he and the Team Leader’s youngest daughter had a son and a daughter...
In the eyes of the villagers, he had a good reputation... and then he just up and left the very night he received his acceptance letter. When the Team Leader’s youngest daughter found out her man had returned to the city on his own, she went crazy!"
Cui Nina asked: "How did you hear about this, with all the details?"
"A couple of days ago, I happened upon two educated youth from the neighboring village when I went to town. I overheard them talking about it," Wang Qin said, clicking her tongue, and added, "That Shen Yunxiu is not a real man. Walking away like that, driving the Team Leader’s youngest daughter crazy, and not even caring for the two kids. In my opinion, such a person is just scum!"
"Truly not decent."
The veteran educated youth who had spoken earlier chid in and then asked Wang Qin: "What happened next?"
