Chapter 2

Thinking of this tragic experience, Su Qingci couldn't help but feel sad.

It's impossible to let her go out again.

Zhou Huijuan, an old educated youth who lived in the same room with her, comforted her after she came back.

In order to make her understand that this was just a very common thing, she was given various more terrifying examples.

Instead of being comforted, Su Qingci understood another meaning from Zhou Huijuan's words.

The real hard days are yet to come!

Thinking of those three days that were worse than death, Su Qingci felt like she was dreaming.

Later generations really beautified the countryside so well.

The countryside does have blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and clear water.

But in the 1970s, you could step on shit just by going out in the countryside.

Chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, even pigs, all kinds of livestock, and children all over the village.

They all...pee and defecate everywhere.

Door, roadside, ditch, bathroom...

This is why a special profession called "fertilizer collection team" came into being during this period.

Su Qingci couldn't help it yesterday, and followed Zhou Huijuan to the toilet of this era.

She trembled as she spread her legs apart, standing tremblingly on the two slippery, rotten, and creaking wooden boards.

The moment the excrement went down, the cold feces splashed on her buttocks.

She burst into tears of fear on the spot.

Zhou Huijuan enthusiastically explained, "It's planting season now, and a lot of fertilizer is needed. The outhouses in the village have all been hollowed out, and there's basically water underneath."

"So you must immediately lift your buttocks high the moment you release it."

Then he tore off a few unknown leaves and gave them to her.

She cried even louder while holding the leaf. Zhou Huijuan probably couldn't bear it anymore.

He rolled his eyes and called her a spoiled child.

Then he ran impatiently to the educated youth site and tore a piece of yellow cardboard from the window and gave it to her.

When Su Qingci had her first bowel movement in the 1970s, she used the same hard yellow cardboard used to wrap cement.

Zhou Huijuan was so distressed that she said the window was about to leak.

Not to mention eating, she choked on the corn tortilla and rolled her eyes, and her cheeks were sore from chewing it.

Water needs to be carried and firewood needs to be collected. There is no washing machine and no water heater.

Any of these things could bring her to her knees.

She had been fascinated by time-travel novels for a while before, but now it really happened to her.

She is a pampered young lady in later generations, and she really can't stand it.

Su Qingci wiped her tears and said, "No, I can't just sit there and wait for death."

"Even if you want to cry, you can't lean against this yellow earth and gray wall and cry."

"I want to go back, put on a face mask, and cry on the beach in the Maldives."

"I want to drink the most expensive Lafite and find the most handsome girl in the nightclub to cry with me."

Su Qingci jumped up, found her luggage bag, took out a scarf, moved a stool and tied it to the door frame.

He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and stuck his head in.

With a push of his calf, the stool fell over.

Su Qingci closed her eyes and shouted in her heart, "Go back, I want to go back."

But after just a few seconds, she couldn't bear it anymore and her body fell down.

The rope presses on the neck due to gravity, pushing the laryngopharynx and the root of the tongue blocking the entire trachea.

It blocks breathing and blood flow.

Su Qingci's face flushed so red that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

She grabbed the scarf around her neck, trying to pull her head out.

His legs kicked wildly in the air, trying to find a foothold in panic.

"Oh my god~"

"This is terrible, Xiao Su, the educated youth, what are you thinking about? Oh my god~"

The person who came was the team leader Liu Dazhui.

Seeing that Su Qingci had not gone to work again, he prepared to come over and give this new negative element a good scolding.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the educated youth site, he saw Su Qingci hanging on the door frame and swinging, which almost scared him to death.

He threw his precious pipe to the ground.

He took a step forward, grabbed Su Qingci's legs and lifted them up.

This is really terrible. I originally thought he was just an educated youth who was a little cunning and lazy.

I didn't expect that he would hang himself because of this mistake.

This is not to support rural construction, it is to invite a Bodhisattva.

If he really died, then he, the captain, would be finished.

Su Qingci was put down by Liu Dazhui. She collapsed on the ground and breathed in fresh air in big gulps.

She didn't know if she could go back.

But, she almost died just now.

At this moment, the breath of air dissipated, and the whole person was shocked and scared, and burst into tears.

Liu Dazhu was about to cry.

He knew that these educated youth from other places were cunning, difficult to discipline, and capable of causing trouble.

But over the years, many educated youth have come here, but there has never been anyone who sought death after just two days of arriving.

Looking at the girl who was about the same age as his granddaughter, crying loudly.

Liu Dazhu couldn't bring himself to say the words of blame.

I can only comfort myself in my heart.

Judging from Su Qingci's delicate skin and tender flesh, she was probably raised in a pampered environment in the city.

It's understandable that he had some distracting thoughts after leaving his parents and coming to the countryside.

"Su Zhiqing, what are you doing?"

"If your parents knew, how heartbroken would they be? What's so sad about you that you're seeking death?"

"As the saying goes, a good death is worse than a miserable life. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Liu Dazhu tried his best to use a gentle tone and persuade carefully.

Su Qingci's face was covered with tears and snot, and she was twitching, looking so pitiful.

"Captain, hanging yourself is too painful. Do you have any pesticides at home?"

"You, uh, you, woo, lend me some."

"If that doesn't work, I'll give you some money and you can buy it."

Liu Dazhu's forced smile froze and his face turned pale. Was he going to die again?

"What medicine is it? We don't like that kind of stuff in the countryside."

"If you have any grievances, just tell your uncle! Even if there's a big problem, we can discuss and solve it, right? There's really no need to go to this extent!"

Su Qingci looked at Liu Dazhui with tears in her eyes.

"I don't want to go down to the ground."

Liu Dazhu's heart choked, his breath got stuck in his throat, and his whole temples were throbbing.

If you don't want to work in the fields, why are you coming to the countryside?

"You, just because you don't want to get out of bed, you hang yourself?"

Liu Dazhu's eyes widened and his voice was out of tune!

Su Qingci answered irrelevantly, "Captain, jumping into the river shouldn't be as painful as hanging yourself, right?"

Liu Dazhu's forehead throbbed, and he slapped his thigh, "Isn't it just that I don't want to get out of bed? It's no big deal."

"Well, Uncle Liu promises you that you don't have to go to the fields anymore!"

"Uncle will arrange something else for you!"

"We can't be pessimistic."

"You're a teenager, but the best days are still ahead of you!"

Su Qingci sobbed and looked at Liu Dazhu, "I don't have to get out of bed?"

Liu Dazhu gritted his teeth and said, "No, we won't go to the fields!"

"Supporting rural development doesn't necessarily require working in the fields. There are plenty of jobs outside of the fields, such as herding cattle, cutting grass for pigs, and distributing farm tools..."

"It's just a few centimeters short. I'll calculate it for you later."

Liu Dazhu tried to persuade Su Qingci earnestly for a long time.

He asked her to think about her family and to dream, saying that life would only get better.

Su Qingci had no interest in what he called having enough food and clothing.

Compared with the huge fortune she had in her previous life, what does having enough food and clothing mean?
