Chapter 652 World 112
After feeling smug, Aunt Di didn't forget why Yin Yin had crossed the river with her in the first place. She led Yin Yin to the side and quietly explained the situation to her.
"Look, do you see that girl over there in the blue dress with a flower in her braid? That's Comrade Feng."
Yinyin memorized what Feng Mingyue looked like, then looked at her and asked, "Auntie, didn't the other educated youth from their village come?"
"They're here, aren't they?" Aunt Di looked around uncertainly and gestured for Yin Yin to look at the back of the crowd. "Those should be the ones. Some of the educated youths arrived earlier; I saw them before."
The situation in Qinghe Village is relatively simple. More educated youth went there earlier, and it's been quite a while since the last fight. It's normal that Aunt Di met some of them back then but didn't recognize Feng Mingyue and the other newcomers.
Yinyin looked in the direction her cousin Di was pointing: "All the other educated youths were at the back, but Feng was at the front. It seems she has a really good relationship with the people of Qinghe Village."
"Maybe," Aunt Di wasn't sure. She ignored Feng Mingyue, pointed to a few people from Qinghe Village who she knew a little about the situation, and whispered to Yin Yin.
I don't know where Aunt Di heard so much gossip about Qinghe Village, but Yin Yin really enjoys listening to it.
The two women were talking enthusiastically and didn't pay attention to anything else. However, some people from Xiahe Village kept glancing at them, mainly at Yinyin, whom they didn't know well.
A boy saw Yin Yin talking to her cousin Di, so he went up to Yin Yin's cousin's husband and asked, "Uncle, who is the girl next to Aunt Di?"
The cousin's husband replied, "She's your aunt's cousin's daughter."
"Oh," the boy couldn't help but sneak a peek, only to be slapped on the back of the head by his uncle.
"What are you looking at?" Uncle-in-law said meaningfully, "Your dad is still ahead."
“My dad can definitely handle it, I don’t need to,” the boy said, glancing at her furtively again. “Uncle, how old is that girl?”
Her cousin's husband knew a little about Yin Yin's family and glanced at him, saying, "That girl hasn't even graduated from junior high school yet."
The boy laughed: "Well, I only graduated less than two years ago, and I even went to school in town."
“It doesn’t matter where you studied,” my cousin’s husband said. “Even if the girl is of marriageable age, they will still keep her for a few more years, let alone when she is still young.”
"Besides, most families will probably take in a son-in-law."
"Ah," the boy's bright eyes dimmed. His father was the village chief of Xiahe Village, so how could he agree to let him become someone's son-in-law?
When his uncle saw him sigh, he chuckled and ruffled his hair: "You rascal, you've only met the girl once and haven't even spoken to her yet. What do you see in her?"
“She’s beautiful,” the boy replied without hesitation. “I’ve never seen a girl as fair-skinned as her. Even the new educated youth can’t compare to her.”
His words were so superficial that his uncle shook his head and didn't take them to heart. When his cousin found Yin Yin a good spot to watch the play, he told her about it as a joke when they got back.
After hearing this, Aunt Di said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Our Yinyin is pretty, it's only natural that she's likable."
"You wouldn't believe it, but in our Yuejin Village, there have always been many kids who love to play with Yinyin and talk to her since they were little."
"Later, when she went to school, if Heping hadn't been keeping an eye on her, she would have received quite a few love letters in her schoolbag."
"Wow," her uncle-in-law said, seeing that there was nothing going on ahead, he focused on talking to her. "Yinyin is so popular at school."
“That’s right,” Aunt Di said with interest. “Our Yinyin is fair-skinned, can sing and dance well, and is also one of the best students in her school. Who wouldn’t like her?”
The village chief, party secretary, and brigade leader were having a small meeting, and Feng Mingyue and the others couldn't get a word in edgewise, so they could only stay on the sidelines.
Yinyin stood there for a while and then got bored, so she came back to find Aunt Di. She happened to overhear what Aunt Di had said and her face immediately turned slightly red: "Aunt, if you're going to praise me, at least do it in front of me. Why are you praising me behind my back?"
As she spoke, Yinyin stood up straight, looking expectant.
The couple, Aunt Di and her husband, exchanged a glance and realized that Yin Yin had only heard the last part, and they both laughed.
Aunt Di hugged Yin Yin and affectionately pinched her cheek: "You child, how come you are so lovable?"
Yin Yin's little face was rosy and plump, which made Aunt Di like her even more: "I must have a baby like Yin Yin in the future, then I will definitely love her every day."
Yinyin was holding Aunt Di's wrist when she seemed to sense something. She felt it carefully for a moment before speaking, "That's difficult. There are so many people in our Yuejin Village, and I'm the only one."
"But a baby like my cousin will definitely arrive soon."
Neither Aunt Di nor her husband took it to heart. However, Aunt Di's mother-in-law, who had previously looked unwell, glanced over, hesitated to speak, and ultimately refrained from saying anything because of the presence of Yin Yin, an outsider.
The previous discussions have finally come to an end. As expected, the original agreement will be maintained, but in the future, Qinghe Village will have to cede some other resources to Xiahe Village.
Otherwise, Qinghe Village would repeatedly engage in such activities without any punishment, only being reinstated.
Even now, they haven't listened to anything. It would be better if they just broke the agreement and caused us to bleed every time.
Once you've been hit with a stick and know how to feel pain, you'll surely learn your lesson eventually, right?
After settling things here, Uncle said goodbye to his relatives and returned to find Yinyin and Aunt Di.
As they walked across the river, Di Heping had already diligently cut all the pig feed.
Actually, their previous reason wasn't entirely false; the pig feed by the river was indeed more lush and tender.
My uncle was originally planning to cut some more for himself, but when he saw that his basket was already full, he knew that his friends who came with him had helped him.
Knowing that everyone had helped, my uncle said, "I'll catch some fish for you to eat another day."
A lively companion came out and said, "We don't want your fish. Tell us what you just found out, and we'll exchange it for this basket of grass."
Everyone agreed that this was the right change, and Uncle no longer refused.
What Yin Yin initially found somewhat boring and uninteresting suddenly became exceptionally interesting and emotionally engaging after being told by her uncle.
It goes without saying that others listened with great interest, but even the couple who experienced it firsthand, Aunt Di and her husband, listened with great interest, which is enough to show his skill.
The group returned to the village chatting and laughing, carrying pig feed to exchange for work points, while Aunt Di went straight to talk to her two friends.
After finishing their work, Yin Yin and her brother returned home just in time for dinner. They had informed their family and received some work points, so the two of them began to eat.
After finishing their meal, they followed their uncle's example and each recounted the events of the day in detail.
Although their storytelling wasn't as entertaining as their uncle's, the family members were very supportive.
After digesting their food, Di Shulan led Di Heping back to the old house. Yinyin also yawned, tidied up, and prepared to go to sleep.
"Yinyin," Di Shengli called out to her, deliberately avoiding Old Man Di and Old Lady Di, "Did Liu Laosan go looking for you again today?"
