Chapter 1265: Going to the Countryside 4
Just as Wang Dachun thought of Feng Qingxue and Fubao, he saw Fubao her with a willow basket picking wildflowers on the roadside, humming a song. He didn’t know what she was singing, but it sounded very pleasant.
"Fubao, why are you here alone?" With such a careful cousin, would she really let her daughter go out by herself?
As soon as his words fell, Guan Yu’s head popped out from behind the stack of firewood, holding a grass insect woven from wheat straw, and said with a cheerful smile, "Big cousin, there’s me. What are you up to? Weren’t you supposed to pick up new sent-down youths? I heard they are from the Capital. How are they? Are they as delicate as the previous ones, complaining that our pots and stoves are to blame when they burn the rice?"
Wang Dachun knocked on his head, "Don’t let Fubao out of your sight!"
"Got it, big cousin, but you haven’t answered my question," Guan Yu said, clearly interested in those sent-down youths.
"What is there to say? They all look the same. How they really are, we’ll see by their future actions. I won’t chat with you any longer, wasting my time. I need to call two sent-down youths to arrange for the newcomers."
Those two, a male and a female sent-down youth, served as the heads of the sent-down youth station.
In matters of precedence, seniority determined leadership; the station always needed a couple of people in charge to alleviate the brigade’s burden.
Guan Yu rubbed his head and called out to Fubao, "Sister, let’s go. But you can’t take the flowers you picked indoors where Zhuangzhuang might touch them. You can put them in your room or brother’s room, okay?"
It wasn’t until they returned home that they discovered Zhuangzhuang was actually allergic to pollen. His reaction almost terrified the entire family.
