st.The knife in his hand, each strike aimed at a vital point, his movements were cold, precise, fierce, decisive, a textbook example of the violent beauty of a dismemberer.When everything was over, th...Ning Yuan, upon hearing this, her small face stiffened a little: "Dr. Rong, you're joking, aren't you Mr. Li and I are just ordinary acquaintances, it wouldn't be right to trouble him like that. You've overthought things."

Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan and said faintly, “Is that so”

The little agent definitely has secrets, and didn't tell the truth.

Ning Yuan doesn't want to be entangled by past emotions anymore.

She wiped her face haphazardly with the back of her hand. “Never mind that, Doctor Rong. Old Branch Secretary promised to get us some old furniture. We have to go to the warehouse in the old classroom at the village school.”

Rong Zhaonan looked at the cart she had dragged over, raising an eyebrow: "Alright, let's go."

He wants to see how long this little spy can keep up the act.

There, Rong Zhaonan pulled the cart and went to the old classroom of the village primary school with Ning Yuan.

With a head full of questions, Tang Zhenzhen returned to the知青 point.

Before she even entered the yard, she saw two male educated youths carrying a person with a bruised face, swollen eyes, and a bloody bandage on his head back on a stretcher.

"Oh dear, Jianhua, you have to be more careful next time, don't fall off the riverbank again!"

"That's right, your head is broken and your ribs are fractured. You need to recuperate and can't earn work points!"

Two male educated youths grumbled and complained incessantly.

Tang Zhenzhen stared in astonishment and anger at the wounded man on the stretcher. It wasn't Wang Jianhua, but who else could it be

She told him this morning that Ning Yuan left the educated youth spot and would be living in the cow shed.

After taking the water buffalo down to the field early in the morning, no one would pass by the barn. As long as he ambushed Ning Yuan there, he could turn that bitch into a real slut.

How could Wang Jianhua be so useless Even Ning Yuan, who is so petite, could beat him up like that

Wang Jianhua also saw Tang Zhenzhen, Huang Xuehong, and Qin Xiaoxia.

He glared at Tang Zhenzhen, awkwardly turned his head away, but he still clutched the wound on his head.

He winced in pain and gritted his teeth: "Ouch, you two, be gentle when you lift me!"

Two male educated youths quickly lightened their movements and carried Wang Jianhua to the educated youths' dormitory.

Huang Xuehong, seeing this, began to mutter, counting on her fingers: “Wang Jianhua is injured and on sick leave. His work points for a day are only 3. We have to do more work to make up for him, or else at the end of the year when we get paid based on our work points, with fewer points, all of us will be dragged down...”

At the end of the year, the collective calculated the grain rations for the young pioneers' team together.

Tang Yanjan rolled her eyes inwardly but put on a helpless smile on her face: "Alright, let's go. We still need to get some food for him later. After all, he's our own kind."

She has to go ask that idiot Wang Jianhua what the hell happened.

Huang Xuehong shook her head and sighed, "Zhenzhen, you're such a kind person."

Three female educated youths entered the room one after another.

As soon as Tang Zhenzhen entered the room, she directed Qin Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, don't you still have some tea from home Get some and let's go see Wang Jianhua together."

Qin Xiaoxia's face turned bad.

She is from Guibe, and was sent here. The fried tea her family sent her, she couldn't even bring herself to eat.

Huang Xuedong's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, Qin Xiaoxia, bring some out. We are all like-minded people here. Don't be stingy like a capitalist! We'll give you scallions, ginger, and garlic!"

Qin Xiaoxia took something out, and they could also share some.

Qin Xiaoxia was stared at by them, so she reluctantly took an old cookie tin from her box.

Carefully, he took out a bit of fried rice and earth tea from inside.

She unwillingly said, "I don't have meat bone soup. This beaten tea without meat bone soup is not tasty."

Tang Zhenzhen smiled generously and said, "I have red sugar in my box. I'll take some red sugar to make oil tea and stir-fry rice."

Huang Xuehong immediately went to help Tang Zhenzhen pull out the box, saying: "Tang Zhenzhen is so generous."

Katan Zhenzhen realized something was wrong as soon as she opened the box.

Her cookie jar has been emptied.

She opened it, and besides the five dollars that was still there, the whole pack of cookies and candy were gone!

"My white rabbit toffee and millennium green biscuits!!" Tang Zhenzhen's eyes went black.

Both the evergreen cream scallion biscuits and big white rabbit milk candy are high-end, scarce goods in Shanghai. People from other provinces need to get tickets to buy them, while those in the countryside can't even get them with money and tickets.

"She must have stolen my things!" Tang Zhenzhen's face was twisted in anger.

She wouldn't even eat the whole box of cookies; she only ate one cookie every week after getting her hands on it!

That shameless little slut not only flirts with people she likes, but also steals from her!

Huang Xuehong also furrowed his thick brows, indignation welling up: “She really did become corrupted and degenerate as soon as she got close to that reformed criminal! Now she's a thief!”

Qin Xiaoxiao was just forced to take something out. Now she muttered softly, "Those cookies and candies must have been sent by Ningyuan's family, right"

But where would she dare to speak up

Huang Xueming, filled with righteous indignation, said: "Zhenzhen, let's go to the village committee and report her! Thieves should be paraded through the streets with signs!"

After the sports event, it was still customary for villagers to publicly parade petty thieves and record the incident in the files, especially for educated youth.

Tang Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and stood up: "I heard that Deputy Secretary Li Yan came. Let's go find him to be the impartial judge!"

She will absolutely not let Ning Yuan go. Today, she's going to force Li Yan to handle Ning Yuan with his own hands.

......

Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan spent the entire afternoon swapping things. Finally, they dragged a car full of "junk" they found in the old storage room of the village primary school back to their small hut in the cow shed.

She held a large stack of old newspapers and watched Rong Zhaonan effortlessly pull a rickety cart filled with broken cabinets, tables, and chairs.

"Wow, he's so strong..." Ning Yuan muttered softly.

This person looks thin and tall, like a weak scholar who can't even eat enough. Yet, he has so much strength.

Rong Zhao-nan put the cart in front of the house and pushed his black-framed glasses up his nose: "Now, should we bring things into the house"

Ning Yuan shook her head: "Let's cover the windows with paper and fix the roof first. These pieces of furniture need to be taken apart, repaired, and reassembled before they can be used. The room is too small to move around in."

Rong Zhaonan watched Ning Yuan carry the newspaper into the room, then came out and pretended to rummage through the repair tools he had borrowed from the village committee.

He narrowed his eyes: "Can you fix it"

Ning Yuan rolled up her sleeves and nodded, "I know a little bit. I'll practice more later."

Rong Zhaonan: “You're pretty bold..."

He was speaking when suddenly, he sharply raised his eyes to look towards the path in front of the cow shed. A cold and alert gleam flashed in his eyes: "Someone's coming."

Ning Yuan just happened to see the cold and sharp aura around him, and she unconsciously took a deep breath.

But the next moment, Rong Zhaonan lowered his head and stood behind her, instantly becoming that silent, unremarkable weak scholar again.

Ning Yuan almost suspected she was hallucinating. Before she could react, she heard footsteps.

She looked down the path.

Surely Tang Zhenzhen, Li Yan, Huang Xuerong, Qin Xiaoxia and even several red armband members seen at noon, as well as some villagers who came to watch the commotion, also followed along.

Ning Yuan's pretty eyebrows furrowed: "They actually came together."

Li Yan is actually hanging out with Tang Zhenzhen and her group.

Huang Xuehong has always been Tang Zhenzhen's loyal follower. Seeing the furniture on the truck beside Ning Yuan from afar, he immediately shouted out —

"See, I told you she was a thief! Not only did she steal our educated youth's belongings, but Ning Yuan even stole things from the team – the desk and chair in the office, for example!"

Li Yan said nothing, only walked closer and looked at the goods in the car.

Although they are all bad, they are indeed office desk and chair type objects.

When the red armband and villagers saw this, they all started whispering to each other.

Tang Zhenzhen looked at all those things, and sneered in her heart. What a thief!

A helpless expression appeared on her face: “Oh, Ningyuan, how could you be with bad people and start stealing public property from the team You're going to get arrested and sentenced.”

Ning Yuan looked completely bewildered: “What are you talking about These things are all old office furniture I borrowed from the team. Old Branch Secretary even has a written record of it, and I promised to fix them up and return them later!”

Some villagers who came to watch the commotion also spoke up: “We did indeed see Lai, the village accountant, go to the village elementary school warehouse with Ning Yuan this morning.”

Li Yan instantly felt relieved and looked at Tang Zhenzhen: "I told you, Ning Yuan wouldn't be like this."

Tang Zhenzhen choked, her face filled with grievance: "I also heard from Xuehong that way, I misunderstood."

Huang Xuehong met Li Yan's gaze, his dark and chubby face flushed red. He instinctively scolded Ning Yuan: "That... that wasn't because you stole Zhenzhen's money and things, we would have misunderstood you!"

Ning Yuan suddenly grabbed a big water bucket from the side. She scooped up some cow dung-infused stinking water and splashed it hard on Huang Xuehong's fat, black face.

That is Rong Zhaonan's uncleaned brush water from this morning.ldn't move at all.I'm going to die! It's so itchy!Her tears flowed freely, her whole body trembling as she gripped his strong arm tightly, trying to stop him."I was wrong...... I...... hahaha...... I....
