Chapter 217.2 – Educated Youth (2b)
Thank you for the Ko-fi, kittennoodlesoup~ (ᅌᴗᅌ* )
Yan Jing Ze saw these memories and was furious.
Fortunately, the original owner did not end well either.
A few years later, the original owner’s parents were re-established. The original owner returned to the capital to continue living his good life and playing around. At that time, there was suddenly a severe crackdown.
There is nothing wrong with the crackdown. The key is that when there was a severe crackdown, Gu Yuxian came out of nowhere.
A few years later, she grew up, her appearance was surprisingly good, and she also dressed up… She said that the original owner was a hooligan and forced her. After she finished speaking, she hit her head to death in front of the police station…
This became a big mess. A group of people who are not in agreement with the original owner’s family intervened. The original owner’s parents could not protect the original owner, so the original owner was sentenced like Gu Mingxiu, because of the severe crackdown, he was also shot to death.
It can be regarded as good and evil in the end there will be retribution!
In addition, the younger brothers and sisters of Gu Mingxiu…none of them ended well either.
Let’s not talk about Gu Yuxian. Gu Yubao, in the absence of his brother, how can he still go to school? He could only come back to work, but he was as lazy as the original owner. He was unwilling to work, always thinking about buying and selling, and making money, but he was not smart enough, and was eventually arrested.
Gu Yulan likes to steal things and went to jail.
Gu Yukang was stupid. After Gu Mingxiu’s accident, Gu Yuxian began to work on the ground to support her family, no time to look after him, he fell into the river and drowned.
It was also because of the Gu family’s successive accidents that Gu Yuxian desperately wanted to kill the original owner.
Fortunately, he is now wearing this body…
“Yan educated youth, are you okay?” Gu Mingxiu asked again.
“I’m fine,” Yan Jing Ze said. He has the memory of the original owner and is now familiar of his “home”. At this time, he entered the house and found a candle to light it.
The original owner’s house was the Gu family’s former residence for the servants. It was really small and there was no furniture in it. Because the original owner was too lazy to empty the toilet, it still smelled bad…
Yan Jing Ze saw the appearance of the room clearly, feeling particularly embarrassed.
However, Gu Mingxiu was very happy, and tried his best to restrain himself, so his eyes didn’t look randomly.
He likes Yan educated youth very much, and especially wants to make friends with Yan educated youth. He is very happy that Yan educated youth is willing to let him in.
“Thank you for your care for these two years,” Yan Jing Ze smiled.
“No thanks, it’s what I should do… You came all the way here, we should treat you well.” Gu Mingxiu also smiled. Yan educated youth used to live in a big city and was in poor health. He came to the countryside and suffered…
Yan Jing Ze carefully observed Gu Mingxiu’s expression and found that Gu Mingxiu might not have realized it yet that he likes the original owner.
A rural man like Gu Mingxiu who has never read a book, how can he know what is going on with men and men?
Not only did the original owner harm others, he also stepped on other’s flesh and blood to live a good life, which is really disgusting!
“I’m so lazy, you’re the only one who doesn’t dislike me,” Yan Jing Ze said.
Gu Mingxiu looked at Yan Jing Ze in astonishment. Before, Yan Jing Ze always said that he was in poor health and never said he was lazy…
“Drink some water,” Yan Jing Ze poured a glass of water to Gu Mingxiu.
The original owner has high requirements for the quality of life. Although he sold a lot of things, he still left the thermos and cups. This water was poured during the day by the barefoot doctor who also lived at Gu’s house, and it was still hot.
Gu Mingxiu picked up the cup in surprise.
Gu Mingxiu actually doesn’t quite understand why he likes Yan Jing Ze, nor does he know what he wants, and what exactly is going on.
He knew that no matter how bitter he was, no matter how tired he was, as long as he saw Yan Jing Ze, he would feel comfortable and relaxed.
Now Yan Jing Ze is actually willing to talk to him well… the exhaustion of a day seems to leave him instantly.
But he was still tired.
Yan Jing Ze knew that the village was in the process of turning the ground for sweet potatoes in the past few days, and there was a lot of work. He didn’t keep Gu Mingxiu much. After a few words with Gu Mingxiu, he let Gu Mingxiu go back to sleep.
Only when Gu Mingxiu was gone did he frown and start thinking about what he was going to do next.
He didn’t know what he was like before he crossed, and what kind of era he was in, but from the bottom of his heart, he felt that this era was very depressing. So, before he crossed, he probably lived in a more open era?
Anyway, here is really… he doesn’t know what to say.
The restrictions on people are too great!
He seems to be unable to do anything but farming now!
In the case of the original owner, if there are no special circumstances in these years, no matter what, he won’t be able to work as a worker(employee), and he can’t do anything else…
How will he fill his stomach in the future? Does he really need to go farming?
But farming… he really doesn’t want to farm!
Judging from the memory of the original owner, it was too tiring…
Yan Jing Ze found sadly that he was probably affected by the original owner and became lazy.
However, although he didn’t want to work, the thought of going to work and being able to see Gu Mingxiu… Yan Jing Ze thought for a while and felt that he still had to go to work tomorrow.
Of course, he has other things to do.
Yan Jing Ze opened the door and went to the toilet, and finally went back to the room to sleep.
As for why he had to run out when he went to the toilet… Ha ha, the original owner’s toilet is full and it hasn’t been emptied!
Fortunately, this toilet has a lid!
When Yan Jing Ze was sleeping at home, Gu Mingxiu was already lying on the bed.
When he went home today, he felt like he was floating.
Yan Jing Ze was so gentle to him, he felt very happy!
Tomorrow he will find a way to get some loach or something, and send it to Yan Jing Ze.
With a little sweetness, he slowly fell asleep.
The Gu family has two rooms, Gu Mingxiu and Gu Yubao live in one, and Gu Yulan, Gu Yuxian, and Gu Yukang live in the same room.
When Gu Mingxiu was asleep, Gu Yulan took out a pen from her arms and secretly played with it.
The sweet potatoes she hid today were not only the ones she took home. She had long eaten some raw sweet potatoes.
In addition, she has other gains—she stole a pen from the educated youth.
This is a fountain pen, there are only two or three in their village! More importantly, fountain pens are very valuable. So, she can sell it secretly tomorrow and get a lot of money for sure!
Gu Yulan was happier as she thought about it.
“Sister, why haven’t you been sleeping?” Gu Yuxian asked. She and Gu Yulan and Gu Yukang slept on the same bed.
“I’m sleeping.” Gu Yulan put the pen back in and fell asleep.
Gu Yuxian was tired after a busy day. Seeing her sister was asleep, she soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Yan Jing Ze got up.
But instead of going to work immediately, he went outside the village.
He ran into a few villagers on the way, and they didn’t feel surprised to see him not going to work. No one greeted him…
Yan Jing Ze didn’t care about this, he walked along the dirt road to the town, and finally stopped at a very remote roadside.
There is a large range of plants here that he does not know what is called. This plant is a bit like bamboo, except that the leaves are very large and the branches are very thin… Anyway, people here love to use the leaves of this plant to wrap rice dumplings.
Yan Jing Ze stood on the side of the road and waited for a while, and saw Gu Yubao walking from the other side of the road with a bag on his back.
In fact, many schools have been closed recently. Gu Yubao is in junior high school and never learned anything. Gu Yubao went to school every day, mostly not for studying. It is more likely that he doesn’t want to do farm work and take the opportunity to be lazy!
Yan Jing Ze saw Gu Yubao, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when Gu Yubao approached… He suddenly went over, grabbed Gu Yubao, and pushed him into the bamboo beside him.
“Who?” Gu Yubao asked in surprise.
Yan Jing Ze snatched Gu Yubao’s bag and stepped on Gu Yubao’s chest: “It’s me… you’d better not shout. If you dare to shout, I don’t mind killing you.”
“Yan educated youth?” Gu Yubao looked at Yan Jing Ze in shock.
“Yes.” Yan Jing Ze smiled.
“What do you want to do?” Gu Yubao was lying on the ground, sore from the fall, and especially scared.
No matter how lazy Yan Jing Ze was, he was also the tallest in Shangmu Village, and he was very intimidating. At this time, Gu Yubao was lying on his back and looking at him, and he felt that he was very tall.
“Nothing much.” Yan Jing Ze said: “I just thought of a good idea… Gu Yubao, say, if I tell people that you seduced me and played hooligan on me, and forced me, are they going to compensate me, an educated youth? Maybe give me some benefits? For example, give me a work as a worker?
“Huh?” Gu Yubao was confused: “You are not a woman!” What kind of hooliganism do two men do?
“Have you been reading all your books? Do you not know that men and men can also do it? Have you ever heard of the ancient cut sleeves, Longyang? Do you want me to tell you?” Yan Jing Ze said, but also briefly told.
Gu Yubao became more frightened as he listened—this man knew so much. He wouldn’t want to do anything to him, would he? He doesn’t want to!
“My family, I believe, wanted to train me, so they threw me in this village regardless. But if something really happens to me, they would definitely take me back… The other people in the village were all working together, I wanted to find a chance to frame them but all are unsuccessful. After thinking about it, you are the most suitable.” Yan Jing Ze said: “I am not feeling well and want to go to the hospital, but I didn’t expect you to stop me on the road. You still want to force me… What do you think of this plot?”
Gu Yubao looked at Yan Jing Ze’s foot on his chest, and felt that Yan Jing Ze was too shameless.
How could this man frame him! How could he accuse him like that!
Yan Jing Ze added: “Although you are only fifteen years old, you are not too small and barely big enough.”
Gu Yubao was five years younger than Gu Mingxiu, but he was a little taller than Gu Mingxiu… It should be because Gu Mingxiu went to do farm work at the age of fourteen and he still didn’t eat well, but Gu Yubao could eat well without having to work.
Based on this, Yan Jing Ze saw him not pleasing to his eyes. Thinking about what he did later, not only did he write a report letter, but later when it was discovered that the report letter was written by him, he also accused his brother by his real name… Hah!
He wants to teach this person a lesson and put this man in his place!
“You’re making a false accusation, no one else will believe it!” Gu Yubao said.
“It’s too simple to make people believe these days,” Yan Jing Ze said, picking up Gu Yubao when he finished speaking, and then found paper and pen from Gu Yubao’s cloth bag, and said to Gu Yubao: “Come, you immediately write me a few love letters!” He wants to get the handle of this person, so that this person will not make trouble in the future.
“I won’t write!” Gu Yubao strongly refused.
Yan Jing Ze looked at Gu Yubao gloomily: “Do you want to be beaten?”
Cut sleeves – homosexuality; once upon a time, there was this emperor, he woke up with his male lover in his arms. He needed to attend the morning court that morning, his sleeve was stuck, pillowed in his lover’s head, and he didn’t want to wake up his lover, so he cut his sleeves instead. The end.
Lord Longyang – a male lover of an unknown King during the Warring States period in Zhou Dynasty.
I’ve read the idiom cut sleeve many times but it’s origin is kinda… weird? Doesn’t make much sense?
Thanks for the chapter!
I think it’s pretty sweet though lol
I’m definitely confused though why does it have to be a male lover, it could also be a female lover. Idk why cutting sleeve is a representative of homosexuality😂
Precisely because it was a male lover ‘cut sleeve’ became representative of homosexuality.
Think of it in the tone of, “He was even willing to cut his sleeve for a man.”
It’s meant to be derogatory.
I don’t know why I don’t find it sweet at all. Both of them were married and were having an affair and as the emperor he could have thousands more luxurious dresses. Moreover, I don’t think he did each time like that. Just a momentary consideration of a scum doesn’t feel sweet.
It comes from a story about an Emperor whose male lover was sleeping next to him on his sleeve. Rather than wake him, the emperor cut his sleeve. So it became sononamous with gay love.
It’s just because the story involved 2 men, so that was what it then came to represent.
