The next day, during the midday break, Feng Qingqing was chatting with a group of older women when she heard some gossip about a female educated youth. The moment she heard it concerned a female educated youth, she was practically jolted awake, her eyes sparkling. She had been here for quite some time but rarely heard any rumors about the educated youths, mainly because the Educated Youth Point was a bit far, and the women’s attention was mostly focused on the team members of the production brigade.
Since this was the first time such a topic had come up, Feng Qingqing waited in anticipation to see who it was about. The woman, sensing the keen attention of the group, felt honored; she held her head high and said excitedly:
"Last night, after finishing work, I took a detour by the river to wash some things. As I rounded a corner, I saw two people standing by the riverbank. When I got a little closer and looked carefully, the man was Baoguo, the loafer from the brigade leader’s house. Now, guess who the woman was?"
