Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Educated Youth Li Returns to the City Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Educated Youth Li Returns to the City Seeing his two sons competing to sleep next to their mother, Zhao Tianlei really wanted to say something: he wanted to hold his wife while sleeping. But because his wife lost her memory, she kicked him out to sleep beside his son. Now, with the roof leaking, he finally got the chance to be in the same room as his wife again, but his two sons had seized his spot. Yun Xiaoxiao had one child on each side, but this was also a good thing for her, keeping her from having to be too close to a man. Over at the Educated Youth Institution. Today, Educated Youth Liu and Educated Youth Li were both going back to the city. Even though it was raining and there would be mud on the road. They were lucky to be riding in an ox cart. “Is Educated Youth Li returning to the city to visit family?” In special circumstances, like something happening at home, Educated Youth could take leave to visit. Old Lady Wang, who was also on the ox cart, saw Li carrying a bag and asked. Clearly, Li wouldn’t mention her return to the city. Neither the Wang Family nor Zhao Laosan were people she could afford to offend. “There’s a small issue at home, I need to go back.” Educated Youth Liu looked at Li with surprise. Wasn’t it a trip back to the city? How did it become a family visit? Still, it had nothing to do with him. Finally, he could leave this place. Finally, he could return home. Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t know about this yet. After breakfast, the sun came out, and Xiaoxiao took out Da Bao and Xiao Bao’s quilts and sheets to wash; the cotton padding was a bit damp and was hung to dry on bamboo poles. Zhao Tianlei was kneading the sheets and quilts, along with the pillows. In that era, people used cotton padding for warmth and straw for their mattress. “Let me wash them, you go and fix the roof.” Zhao Tianlei refused, “Let’s wash them together, this quilt is thick and hard to wash.” This comment was accurate; at this moment, Yun Xiaoxiao especially missed having a washing machine. It could be said that from childhood to adulthood, she only hand-washed her own small items: underwear, socks. Everything else, she could use a washing machine. Fearing that detergent would require multiple rinses, Yun Xiaoxiao soaked the sheets and quilts in some soapy water in a large basin, adding more soapy water and rubbing hard with both hands. After a few rubs, she ran out of strength. “Let me do it, I’ll do it...” His wife had no strength, and he was strong; he could do it. After washing and drying, Yun Xiaoxiao was so tired she couldn’t stand it, and sat on a stool to rest. “Mom, drink some water.” Yun Xiaoxiao took the enamel cup, “Thank you, our Da Bao.” Suddenly feeling relieved, thankfully it was winter and they didn’t need to wash the quilts so often. With the quilts washed, Zhao Tianlei then found a ladder and went up to the roof to fix the tiles. “Educated Youth Yun, Educated Youth Yun...” Yun Xiaoxiao knew who it was. It was the little sister-in-law from next door. “Sister-in-law, come inside.” The little sister-in-law waved her hand, “Educated Youth Yun, you don’t know yet? That Educated Youth Li has gone back to the city.” Educated Youth Li went back to the city? “So soon?” As she spoke, Zhao Tianlei, who was busy working, pricked up his ears to listen to the news. Although Da Bao and Xiao Bao were studying, the two brothers glanced over at the two people not far away. “Isn’t it because someone saw Li taking an ox cart carrying luggage? Old Lady Wang learned about it, and despite being sick, she sent her granddaughter to the Educated Youth Institution to check, and indeed, Li was not there. So, back home she cursed Li.” “Did she run away? But to return to the city, one needs a reference letter?” The sister-in-law knew about it, “I heard that after Li returned from the town, she went to Captain Zhao to discuss this, and there was no movement during the past couple of days of heavy rain. So who knows when Li calculated her work points and got the reference letter from the team leader?”
