The Xu Jiang brothers, also referred to as the Xu brothers, are older youth workers mentioned in the story. They are described as not being skilled in cooking, which is why An Ruoyan and Deng Xiuli could not wake up early to make breakfast. Later, when Shi Meijiao tried to demand food from An Ruoyan, the Xu Jiang brothers did not speak but showed obvious disgust at her behavior. They are part of the group of older youth workers who generally did not interfere when An Ruoyan dealt with Shi Meijiao, which An Ruoyan appreciated.
