Chapter 32 New Educated Youth

Meng Aiguo and Liu Chenggen drove a bullock cart to the town early in the morning to pick up the new educated youth. The night before yesterday, Meng's mother and Liu's aunt even made coarse flour steamed bread overnight to fill the stomachs of these new city kids.

There were four educated youth assigned to Qinghe Village, three women and one man. Meng Aiguo had already received their information in advance.

The train station was crowded with people. Liu Chenggen held up the sign of the Qinghe Production Team of Hongshan Commune. He shouted until his voice was hoarse, but no one came. He was so anxious that he almost went to find someone from the Educated Youth Office, worried that the educated youth got off at the wrong station.

In the end, Meng Aiguo kept his composure and decided to wait until the crowd dispersed to see if anyone had come, in case these educated youth suddenly had something to do.

Liu Chenggen thought about it and took out his pipe and started smoking again, "By the way, why are you here to pick up the educated youth this time? Where's Jiang He?"

Meng Aiguo picked a handful of wild grass on the roadside and fed it to the village's great hero, the 'big water buffalo'. The autumn harvest was coming soon, and the big water buffalo would also start to get busy, pulling food back and forth, and couldn't stop for a moment.

"I don't know, I just heard that he was busy with other things, so he asked me to come."

Recently, the Jiang family has been very low-key, and Jiang He is also mysterious. Meng Aiguo is not interested in his family's affairs.

Liu Chenggen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke, "Ahem, hehe, has something happened to his family recently?"

With a 'nosy' daughter-in-law, Liu Chenggen knows much more than the villagers.

Meng Aiguo turned his head to look at him: "What's the matter?"

Liu Chenggen held a cigarette in his mouth and looked up at the sky, "You know that Jianghe has a daughter?"

Meng Aiguo nodded.

"Recently, Jianghe's wife asked my wife to introduce a date to his daughter Xiuxiu. As a result, my wife introduced several people, but the other party refused to meet. My wife was unhappy, so she went to ask. Guess what happened?"

Liu Chenggen smiled mysteriously.

Meng Aiguo rolled his eyes. This idiot, who always said that his wife was big-mouthed, was not much better. What goes with what goes with what, there are two kinds of people sleeping in the same quilt, and they all like to be mysterious.

"What happened? Tell me now."

"Oh, don't be impatient. Hehe, Jiang He adopted his daughter to his eldest brother Jiang Hai. I heard that the household registration has been transferred. Now Jiang Xiuxiu is a city dweller. I heard from my wife that he wants to find a good in-law for Jiang Xiuxiu and looks down on rural people."

At the end, Liu Chenggen sneered, "Look down on rural people. His Jiang family has been farmers for nine generations, all of whom are born in the mud. Who is more noble than who?"

Meng Aiguo wondered, Jiang He didn't seem to want to give his daughter a future, so he would rather lose face and adopt his children to someone else's family.

He shook his head, no longer thinking about the Jiang family, and looked around. Most people had already left, and the train had already left. Why didn't the educated youth assigned to their village come out?
