The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 88 - 86: Zheng Chunyan: So It Was You, My Savior
In the crowd, someone who knew Wen Ran pursed their lips and said, "She’s just an educated youth."
The Antelope Team Captain’s eyes shone brightly and excitedly, "No wonder they say heroes emerge in youth. This young educated youth is so young and already knows everything."
He appeared more solemn, "Hello, my surname is Zheng, and my name is Zheng Dawei."
Wen Ran glanced at the person who called her an educated youth and then spoke to Zheng Dawei, "Captain Zheng, I can only offer you a method. Whether to do it or not, it’s up to you."
"Captain, don’t listen to her. She’s just an educated youth, all hands and no eyes in the fields. What can she know?
If we really listen to her, it’s not just the wheat seedlings that will be ruined; even the glutinous rice will be done for."
As soon as these words were spoken, the noise from the crowd grew louder.
Everyone felt she was right. After all, they had already lost quite a bit of wheat, and if they lost more glutinous rice, they really wouldn’t be able to make a living.
Loosening their belts and finding an appealing crooked-neck tree on the back mountain to hang oneself started to feel more plausible.
Wen Ran looked at her and suddenly felt that this person looked quite familiar, though she couldn’t remember where from.
"Fang Can!"
Bao Wenxuan squeezed out from the crowd with a shocked expression, "How did you end up in such a state?!"
The startling words reminded Wen Ran instantly who she was.
The strange person she met on the train.
No wonder Wen Ran felt she looked familiar but didn’t recognize her at first glance.
Compared to the radiant Fang Can on the train, she was now truly in a miserable state.
Her clothes were tattered, her skin several shades darker, and her whole spirit was different. Only this haughty demeanor gave Wen Ran a hint of recognition.
But try as she might, she couldn’t place her.
Captain Zheng looked at Fang Can and then at Wen Ran, uncertainly, "Do you know each other?"
"Not really," Wen Ran said coldly, "We’ve met once, perhaps."
Bao Wenxuan exclaimed, "I know her. Her name is Fang Can. She’s also an educated youth in the countryside, usually just stirring up trouble. You can’t seriously be listening to her, can you?
No way! No way?!"
Captain Zheng looked embarrassed, not that he was eager to listen, but...
That educated youth named Fang Can did have a point.
This wasn’t a joke, and if not handled properly, it could make the current difficult situation even worse.
As a team captain, with hundreds of people, young and old, standing behind him, he felt uncomfortable if even one person went hungry.
The team leader also emerged, laughing gently, "Why aren’t you heading back? We’ve got everything ready on our side, let’s go back to the team for the pork feast."
He shielded Wen Ran behind him and said to Zheng Dawei, "Think it over slowly, and when you’ve decided, come find us at the Silly Deer Team."
Wen Ran didn’t insist, and upon hearing this, followed docilely.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help, she had suggested a plan, but they were still hesitating.
There’s no point in pushing when no one’s ready; she didn’t want to help and end up in a mess. Captain Zheng needed to make up his mind before she could proceed.
Perhaps the commotion was too big, as even the commune leaders were drawn over.
"What’s going on?"
Now, with the team leader, Wen Ran, and others, they couldn’t even leave if they wanted to.
"Chairman Chen," the team leader smiled, "nothing much, just ran into each other and exchanged a few words."
Seeing the team leader, Chairman Chen’s face broke into a smile, praising them, "Your team has performed well this time."
The team leader grinned, "Of course! Chairman Chen, are you available? How about coming back with us today?
Feel a taste of our Silly Deer Team’s pork feast? I can’t promise unlimited pork, but certainly enough sauerkraut."
Chairman Chen laughed heartily, "You guys enjoy yourselves, I have other matters to attend to."
With that, the team leader motioned to take Wen Ran and the others away.
"Chairman Chen!"
Captain Zheng was anxious, looking at Wen Ran, he quickly explained what had just happened. Upon hearing, Chairman Chen’s gaze fell on Wen Ran.
His first thought was that she looked too young.
"You are..."
"My name is Wen Ran, I’m an educated youth in the countryside."
Wen Ran introduced herself confidently, causing Chairman Chen to brighten up, "So it’s you."
Wen Ran raised an eyebrow, "Does the Chairman know me?"
"I’ve heard your story," Chairman Chen smiled, praising, "Truly, heroes emerge in youth, and women can also hold up half the sky."
The two had a cryptic conversation, leaving everyone puzzled, except for a young girl in the crowd whose eyes suddenly brightened.
She pushed through the obstacles and stood in front of Wen Ran, somewhat disbelieving, "Is it you..."
Looking at Wen Ran, tears welled up in her eyes, "I, I am..."
The young girl choked up, "Do you remember the egg dumpling soup? It was the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life."
Wen Ran was also surprised, it turned out to be one of the girls she rescued from Wang Man and Xi Yang.
She looked at the girl in front of her, who was thin but looked much healthier.
"It’s you~"
Wen Ran’s tone softened as she wiped away her tears, "Even if I’m a good cook, it shouldn’t taste so good as to make you cry."
With these words, the young girl’s embarrassment was eased.
Captain Zheng now understood everything.
This was their family’s lifesaver!
Holding back his excitement, his mind became clear; his previous uncertainty was completely gone.
"Alright, this useless girl still remembers someone’s egg dumpling soup."
He became more serious, "Wen Zhiqing, I’d like to ask for your help with our Antelope Team."
The team leader was displeased, shielding Wen Ran, "Hey, old Zheng, what do you mean? It’s nothing serious, just chatting.
Your team’s matter is a big deal; Wen Zhiqing is just a child. If anything went wrong, who would we turn to?"
The team leader’s skinny body stood in front of Wen Ran, making her feel warmth.
She gave a light smile, not saying a word.
This was the team leader’s protection, and she needed to appreciate it.
"We trust her!" Zheng Chunyan quickly said, "I trust her unconditionally!"
Captain Zheng, seeing his daughter, felt a headache, "Alright, stop interfering."
After pondering, he said, "How about this, I’ll first use our family’s glutinous rice and wheat seedlings to try it, okay?"
The team leader didn’t decide for Wen Ran, turning to her, "What do you think?"
Wen Ran nodded, "Alright."
There’s no time like the present, so Captain Zheng arranged for someone to stay while he and his daughter took Wen Ran back to the Antelope Team.
The team leader was worried about Wen Ran going far, "I’ll go along."
"Let me go instead," Xiao Chenye said plainly, "Even if something really happens, uncle, you’re too frail to be of much help."
The team leader: "..."
He raised his tobacco pipe, grumbling, "You brat, always have something to say!"
