Chapter 391: The Little Cannon Fodder in the Rebirth Story 38
Not long after, her door was blown open by the strong wind, the bolt door lock was scrapped, and the sea breeze blew in with the rain and a salty smell. In order to block this door, she had moved all the tables and cabinets up.
There was no other way, so Chen Xiaoxiao had to move the big jade stone from the space to block the door first, at least to survive this night! Chen Xiaoxiao was not the only one in this situation, other educated youth also heard the sound of blowing the door open and screaming and crying!
That night, the wind blew all night long, and Chen Xiaoxiao didn't know when it stopped. After making sure that her door wouldn't be blown open again, she fell asleep in a daze.
But except for her, all the other educated youths in the nearby camps did not sleep all night. They were just thankful that the house withstood the test. After all, the house was built by the villagers, and they knew the weather here best!
The next morning, Chen Xiaoxiao put the big stone into the space first, and then opened the door! The outside was a mess, with mud, branches, leaves, and vegetable leaves everywhere...!
Chen Xiaoxiao had no choice but to resign herself to cleaning up her yard, dragging branches aside to dry so that she could use them as firewood. The vegetable garden behind the house that she had carefully tended to was now completely devoid of roots!
Other educated youth also opened the door one after another. "Chen Zhiqing, are you okay? Was your door blown open by the wind last night? I was scared to death last night. I didn't dare to close my eyes all night." Xu Min's face was full of lingering fear.
"I'm fine. My door was blown open by the wind last night, but I closed it again. How are you? Was your door blown open too?"
"Yeah, I almost couldn't block the door, and the quilt was soaked by the wind! This wind is really horrible!"
"You'll get used to it after staying here for a long time. You'll come here a few times every year. Let's get ready!" said an old educated youth as if he was used to it.
After tidying up the yard, she started to repair the door. After a few hammerings, it was done in a few minutes. Other people at the educated youth site also came to borrow hammers and nails from her to reinforce the door.
Soon, Captain Zhao organized people to clean up the road, count the losses, check whose houses were blown down by the strong wind, and repair and reinforce the houses of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled who lacked labor... After Chen Xiaoxiao and several educated youth finished their own work, they went to help out!
In just a few days, the village returned to its usual tranquility. If Chen Xiaoxiao hadn't seen the broken branches and leaves on the trees, she would have wondered if a big typhoon had occurred.
Chen Xiaoxiao also resumed her usual routine. She celebrated her sixteenth birthday in December and secretly celebrated it for herself. Soon it was the end of the year. The new educated youth had no holidays, and many of the old educated youth had gone back home to celebrate the New Year!
Cai's wife wanted to invite Chen Xiaoxiao to their Wang family to celebrate the New Year, but Chen Xiaoxiao refused. After all, it was the family's annual reunion day, and it would be a bit uncomfortable to have an outsider. The remaining people in the educated youth camp also prepared to have everyone come up with a good dish and have a meal together on New Year's Eve.
They all wanted Chen Xiaoxiao to cook, but Chen Xiaoxiao thought that seafood could be cooked by her! Each of them could also make their own specialty dish, and those who couldn't cook could also make dumplings. It would be great if everyone could join in the atmosphere!
She also agreed to celebrate the New Year together after seeing that Xiao Can and her bootlicker, who had spoiled the fun last time, had gone back, and that the other educated youth were pretty good.
This year's Chinese New Year was very lively and sumptuous. Those who had money and tickets bought meat, chicken, duck and wine, while those who were not so well off went out to catch seafood or picked fruits from the mountains and dried them.
Chen Xiaoxiao's cooking skills are beyond doubt, and even the most picky people can't find any fault with her. Combined with everyone's specialties, everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
A few educated youth got drunk and spoke the truth, saying that their secret crush was married or that their parents were partial to them since they were young...
There were two people whose secret crushes were present at the scene. I don’t know if they spoke out because of the wine or they were really drunk. The scene was awkward for a while, and in the end they could only laugh it off as drunken talk…
There was also a male educated youth who was usually honest and simple, crying and shouting while hugging another male educated youth, yelling not to leave him! The male educated youth he was hugging, facing the smiling, strange, or surprised looks of the crowd, had a look of despair on his face, until the educated youth finally called out a female name, which cleared his name!
Anyway, everyone has their own misery and their own regrets. A few people who can drink better are taking care of those people. I don’t know if they can face it calmly after they sober up tomorrow. Alcohol, this thing really can’t be drunk too much!
What surprised Chen Xiaoxiao was that on New Year's Day, the educated youth did not mention the truth that they had spoken while drunk the previous night.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the educated youths all went to the head of the team and the village cadres' house to pay New Year's greetings. Everyone drank a cup of tea before leaving. Some male educated youths also bought some firecrackers, disassembled them, and played with the children in the village one by one.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the educated youth went to the city to play for a day! On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the captain's wife called her and said someone was looking for her and asked her to go to his house.
Chen Xiaoxiao was confused. Nothing special had happened recently. Besides, if someone wanted to see her, why didn't they go directly to her instead of going to the captain's house?
When Chen Xiaoxiao rushed to the captain's house, she saw the soldier named Pan Xun! As expected, only soldiers like them could do such a thing.
"Chen Zhiqing, you're here, come in!" The team leader who was chatting with Pan Xun saw Chen Xiaoxiao and quickly called her in.
"Comrade Chen, Happy New Year!" Pan Xun greeted her quickly.
"Happy New Year! Comrade Pan!" Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded to him.
"Uncle Captain, you called me over here?"
"Comrade Pan is looking for you. He came here to visit his comrades and relatives, and he also came to see us. It's New Year, so he came to visit us! He is also worried that if he goes to see you directly, if someone with ulterior motives sees him, they will gossip about him and affect your reputation, so he asked you to come over!" The captain said while pointing to the pile of gifts on the table.
"Ah, Comrade Pan, you are too polite and too wasteful. Didn't you thank me last time? Besides, it was just a small favor last time and I have received enough in return. I can't accept these gifts from you anymore." Chen Xiaoxiao felt relieved after hearing this!
"That's what I told you, you're so polite! Take these things back and use them to replenish your body. You were badly injured last time." The captain disagreed!
"Captain, Comrade Chen, that was just a piece of cake for you, but it was a life-saving favor for me! I just happened to be here to visit my relatives, so how could I pass by your house without entering? That's why I came to visit you!" Pan Xun's words were very sincere.
