The life of a female cannon fodder

After the corn was harvested, it was also necessary to pay the public rations. The strong men were still the ones who delivered the rations. Li Qiu did not go this time. She had made an appointment with Lu Zhan to visit him after the corn was harvested.

She put the things prepared for Lu Zhan in the trunk of the car and said something to the educated youths before driving away. As soon as the car turned around and had not yet driven out of the educated youths' courtyard, Xu Yuan came over and knocked on the window: "Are you going to the commune, Li Zhiqing? I wonder if it would be convenient for you to give me a ride?"

"I'm not going to the commune. Sorry."

"Is that so? Sorry to bother you." He stepped back slightly to make way. Li Qiu nodded to him and drove away without saying anything. In the rearview mirror, he was still seen standing there with a warm smile on his face.

She withdrew her gaze and felt cold inside.

After Xu Yuan arrived at the Unity Brigade, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Xu Yuan seemed to be more enthusiastic towards her. Although he was also enthusiastic towards other educated youth, she always felt that Xu Yuan seemed to be different towards her. It wasn't that he liked her, but it seemed that he wanted to get close to her with some purpose.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, suppressed her emotions, and concentrated on driving.

In the Youth Corps behind him, Hu Weiguo hooked his arm around Xu Yuan's shoulder and said, "Young educated youth Li is going to see her fiancé, not to the commune. If you want to go to the commune, let's go together. You can come back with Brother Jiang and the others."

Jiang Yue, Yu Hongying and the others followed the team to pay for public rations early in the morning. The team did not arrange for several new educated youth to go this time, but now there is no work in the team, so if you want to go to the commune, you can go by yourself. Just tell the team.

"I want to go to the commune to buy a bar of soap. I'm not used to using wood ash."

"Then let's go, let's go together. I'll also go to the commune to buy something." Hu Weiguo greeted him warmly, and Liu Meiling and Xi Ran also said they would go to the commune for a stroll.

After finally not having to work, they wanted to go out for a walk. Although the commune was not as good as the county, it still had supply and marketing cooperatives and food stores. If they wanted to buy some daily necessities, they could generally buy them, but there were not many varieties to choose from.

The group locked the door of the Youth House and walked on the road chatting happily. Suddenly, they heard someone calling their names. The voice was not only familiar but also getting closer and closer to them. Several people stopped and looked back and found that it was Shi Xiaolian.

She was wearing a braided dress with a red hairband and ran towards them. When she ran in front of Xu Yuan, she stopped, panting, her cheeks flushed, and asked shyly, "Xu Zhiqing, Xu Zhiqing, are you going to the commune? I want to go to the commune too, can I go with you?"

Other educated youths who were not worthy of having names: "......"

They thought that Shi Xiaolian didn't see them, but it turned out that she had other intentions.

Xu Yuan, who was specifically asked by Shi Xiaolian, smiled gently and politely: "Then you should come with us. It's not safe for a girl to go out alone."

Liu Meiling: "......" Going out? You call a two-hour walk to the commune a long journey? Then what is going to the Tuan Tuan Brigade to go to the countryside?
