Chapter 57: Female Educated Youth, Improper

Lu Miao just wanted to express his position and attitude, but Gu Ying was so serious that she felt a little embarrassed:

"Even if you need to thank me, it's not you. Go and serve the food quickly. Isn't there someone else waiting to eat?"

Gu Ying said "Oh" and nodded, gave Lu Miao a knowing smile, and trotted out of the educated youth site holding the coarse porcelain bowl and the two egg cakes.

When Gu Ying arrived at the cowshed, she met Yang Xiaojing coming back from outside.

Yang Xiaojing hadn't washed properly for a few days, and she was extremely dirty. Gu Ying didn't show any disdain and went over to her with the bowl in hand.

"Xiao Jing!"

"Gu Ying!"

Yang Xiaojing looked very happy.

The two of them retreated to a large rock on the side of the cowshed and sat down. Gu Ying pushed the bowl to Yang Xiaojing. Before she could speak, she saw the egg cake piled on top of the coarse grains in the bowl and asked:

"Lu Miao gave it to me, right?"

Egg cakes are not cheap, and no one else among the female educated youth is willing to buy them except Lu Miao.

Gu Ying nodded seriously. "Xiao Jing, this matter is over. Don't be impulsive and reckless in the future... The same goes for Lu Miao. Don't be so hostile. Look at this egg cake and the peach cakes from before. If she were a bad person, would she be willing to give them to her?"

Yang Xiaojing was holding the egg cake, reluctant to eat it. She took a big bite of the sweet potato and choked so much that the veins on her neck popped out. She said incoherently:

"I think so too. Even though Lu Miao is not good at work and behaves like a capitalist, she is always decisive and never schemes against others. Unlike Chen Miaomiao, how can she be so?"

Gu Ying disapproved and said, "Xiao Jing!"

Yang Xiaojing immediately begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, from now on, as long as Chen Miaomiao doesn't provoke me, I will definitely not provoke her. Is that okay?"

Gu Ying nodded.

Yang Xiaojing felt helpless when she saw her relieved look, but after a moment, Yang Xiaojing smiled foolishly again.

Putting the empty bowl aside, Yang Xiaojing stuffed one of the two egg cakes into her mouth and gave the other to Gu Ying.

Gu Ying refused, so Yang Xiaojing withdrew her hand and cut the egg cake into two, keeping the larger one for herself and handing the smaller one to Gu Ying:

"I eat the big ones, and you eat the small ones. Is that okay? Eat, Gu Ying. You usually take care of me a lot, and now you bring me food. Otherwise, I will feel bad."

"Oh, you really are..."

Unknown birds flew past over the straw-piled cowshed, and below the edge of the shed, two young girls shared egg cake and laughed happily.

Yang Xiaojing stayed in the cowshed for five days and soon "returned to the team". She had not washed properly during these days, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was smelling terrible when she returned to the educated youth site.

Lu Miao, who was very particular and pretentious, couldn't stand it anymore and threw a half-used piece of soap to Yang Xiaojing, ordering Yang Xiaojing to wash off the smell on her body, otherwise he would never let her into the room.

After these few days, Yang Xiaojing also realized how ugly she was, and she would wash herself clean without Lu Miao asking her to do so.

And because Lu Miao had been feeding her intermittently before, Yang Xiaojing felt a little grateful to Lu Miao. When Lu Miao threw the soap to her, Yang Xiaojing picked it up carefully, smiled and promised:

"I won't be working in the fields this afternoon. I'll make sure to clean up immediately so you won't be disturbed by the smoke at night!"

Lu Miao snorted proudly and didn't respond to Yang Xiaojing. Instead, he picked up the sleeves and mask on the bedside and urged Ren Bingxin to go out quickly:

"Have you rested enough? I have to go to the team to make straw ropes."

"Alright, alright, let's go!"

Ren Bingxin quickly got up and put on her shoes.

Lu Miao and Ren Bingxin went to the team first, and Gu Ying and Geng Xiaoyun followed them out of the educated youth point.

It is worth mentioning that when Geng Xiaoyun came out of the room, Chen Miaomiao wanted to talk to her, but Geng Xiaoyun's response was not enthusiastic. Chen Miaomiao knew that she was making herself boring, so she stopped talking.

Although the fight among the female educated youth has passed, it has caused considerable negative impact afterwards.

Because Chen Miaomiao cursed without restraint, during this period, no matter whether they were male or female educated youth, whether they went to the production team or to work in the fields, as long as they ran into team members, they would be pointed at or criticized in some way.

Those people were polite to the educated youth on the surface, but they were actually making fun of them behind their backs.

They make fun of the educated youth who came from big cities and thought they were superior to others. They also make fun of the educated youth who had been to school and labeled themselves as well-educated and cultured, but in the end, when they cursed others, they were even more vulgar, wild and dirty than the country folk.

I didn't see any enthusiasm for actively building for lofty ideals, but I did see his ability to curse people, which was indeed first-class.

Because of this, no one among the female educated youth wanted to pay attention to Chen Miaomiao these days, but Chen Miaomiao didn't care. She and Lu Miao and the others had a falling out, so she didn't care what others thought.

She had originally thought that Geng Xiaoyun had a straightforward personality and that she could just talk to her to relieve her boredom, but it was obvious that Geng Xiaoyun was unwilling to pay attention to her.

Chen Miaomiao simply didn't bother to pretend anymore, so as to avoid being disliked.

As for the male educated youth, although they were dissatisfied with being dragged into this, unlike the female educated youth, they generally could not lose face. When they met Chen Miaomiao, they would nod and show goodwill as if nothing had happened.

But these have nothing to do with Lu Miao.

Lu Miao is not afraid of right and wrong, nor is she afraid of being involved in right and wrong, but she is not willing to be involved in all right and wrong.

For example, it is impossible for her to take the blame for the mess that Chen Miaomiao caused this time.

She didn't care what others said. It had nothing to do with her anyway. She was a decent person and naturally wouldn't be affected by the gossip. But her colleague Ren Bingxin was not like that.

The second production team has two threshing grounds. The east threshing ground is located outside the village boundary, next to the Fu family, while the west threshing ground is located in the center of the production team surrounded by houses.

To make straw ropes in the west threshing ground, one had to pass by the doors of the village members' homes to get to the educated youth site. Ren Bingxin did not have as strong a heart as Lu Miao.

When passing by the door of a member's house, Ren Bingxin heard those young wives talking about and criticizing the improper behavior of the female educated youth comrades. She felt that her reputation was damaged and turned around to refute them.

"Let them talk if they want. They're talking about someone like Chen Miaomiao, why are you so anxious?"

Lu Miao quickly grabbed her and said, "You don't have any tolerance at all, do you? You can't eat or sleep well just because someone said a few words to you? Being overly sensitive is a sign of weakness. The more you care about these things, the easier it is for you to be "controlled."

"Don't you care?"

Ren Bingxin was angry and confused. Based on her understanding of Lu Miao, Lu Miao should not tolerate such things.

"Didn't I just say that? It was Chen Miaomiao who created this situation. Even if they curse at me, they're cursing Chen Miaomiao. Why should I care?"

Lu Miao shook his head indifferently. "There are so many gossipers. If you pay attention to them, you will be the one making a fool of yourself. But if you ignore them, they will be the ones making you look bad."
