The train started, the wheels rolled over the rails and the train moved slowly, and the scenery outside the window kept moving backwards.
Wang Meili stood next to Jiang Zao, clenching her fists in anger, as if she was about to hit someone the next second: "I just asked a few questions, and you want to pull everyone to isolate me."
"Jiang Zao, you are so cruel!"
Shi Chunzi had just put her bag away when she heard this and couldn't help but speak up for Jiang Zao: "We've been waiting for you at the door for a long time. It's almost time. Do we all have to wait for you outside?"
Chen Baijing: "We waited for you, and you want to blame us, but you don't want to leave by yourself. You are not a child who needs adult care. Do we have to revolve around you?"
I had heard that Jiang Zao and Wang Meili had a bad relationship, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that Jiang Zao had such a good temper that he could tolerate such a person for so long.
"Jiang Zao, you are kind-hearted and still willing to pay attention to me. I would have slapped you a long time ago."
The train was full of people, and the two female comrades traveling with her both spoke up for Jiang Zao. Wang Meili kept saying "you" for a long time, not knowing what to say to refute them. She angrily threw her braids and lay down on the seat crying.
There were a few aunties next door, and they chirped crickets quietly after hearing it.
"If you don't watch your back when you're out, you'll blame others for being late."
"That's right. I think that young comrade surnamed Jiang is a good person. He didn't even get angry when he was scolded."
Jiang Zao would not get angry over such a trivial matter. She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
The journey was not far, and they arrived in Nanning at four o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Meili had no time to cause any trouble.
The city is much more prosperous than the county town, and there are more people at the train station. When getting off the train, Jiang Dazhu squeezed over to help Jiang Zao carry things. Afraid that others would think he had other intentions, he also helped Sun Ligen carry a bag.
Jiang Zao and the large group got off the train and left the train station.
Sun Ligen had been to Nanning and knew where the nearest supply and marketing cooperative was to the competition venue. He took everyone to find accommodation with a letter of introduction.
Wang Meili had never traveled far by herself, so she didn't dare to walk alone and followed behind reluctantly.
It was her first time going on a long trip, and her family had to pack a lot of things for her. She brought a large bag, and when she got off the car, she almost tripped over her bag. The bag strap made her hand red and swollen, and it was very difficult for her to follow while dragging the large bag.
I found that the bag in Jiang Dazhui's hand looked very familiar. Wasn't it placed at Jiang Zao's feet just now?
When I turned my sight, I saw Jiang Zao walking with empty hands, looking so free and easy.
"Jiang Dazhu, come here and help me carry the bag."
Wang Meili discovered that there were resources in the team that could be used, and she asked for help very impolitely.
Her shout stunned everyone.
The most confused one was Jiang Dazhu: "Why should I help you carry it? You should carry your own things. I'm not your lackey."
Wang Meili gritted her teeth: "Then why do you let Jiang Zao carry it?"
Jiang Dazhu: "I'm helping Master Sun carry it. We're friends, but you and I aren't familiar with each other."
If her tone could be better, maybe he would help.
Who would be so humble as to help her when she is yelling and shouting?
Wang Meili was disappointed and looked at Jiang Zao with a look that seemed wrong to her. She even wanted to eat Jiang Zao.
"You guys are so mean! You knew my palms would be rubbed by the weight of my luggage, so you deliberately didn't help me. This way, my hands would be damaged and I couldn't compete. You took the opportunity to surpass me and get a higher ranking, right?"
I was so angry that some words couldn't stop coming out.
Jiang Zao turned around and glanced at her with a half-smile: "Why, did I ask you to carry such a big baggage?"
"You can always blame everything on others. Whoever runs into you will be unlucky."
Sun Ligen had been patient all the way. He found Wang Meili's letter of introduction and returned it to her: "I followed you here for my apprentice. I don't have to be responsible for you. I took you along to complete the task. Go on your own."
Taking her along to pick on others, she felt that everyone wanted to harm her, so she just went by herself and everyone would be left alone.
Shi Chunzi and Chen Baijing both breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Dazhu lifted the bag in his hand and walked forward first, fearing that Wang Meili would blackmail him if he left a little later.
Master Sun called out to Jiang Zao, "Disciple, let's go quickly."
Jiang Zao nodded, and the large group set off forward.
Wang Meili was about to cry: "Why did you leave me here alone? I want to go with you."
Master Sun put the letter of introduction on her luggage, but the wind blew it to the ground. Wang Meili had no choice but to bend down to pick up the letter of introduction. When she raised her head, everyone had left.
"you!"
Really not waiting for her.
Wang Meili had no idea where she would live or where she would compete.
She cried in panic and walked through the streets with her bag, but she couldn't find Jiang Zao and his group. Instead, she was exhausted and sweating. The soles of her feet were sore from walking. If nothing unexpected happened, she must have blisters next to her little toe.
She couldn't find it, and it was getting dark. She didn't know where to go, so she wanted to find a place to eat first, and then find a place to stay.
I ordered two dishes and a serving of rice, and when I was paying I found that my pocket had been cut with a knife and all the money inside was gone!
I don't know when the money was lost.
The waiter held Wang Meili back and said, "What era is this? How dare you come out and eat a free meal? You look well dressed, yet you do such sneaky things. You're really embarrassing your parents. Let's go to the Public Security Bureau and ask them to contact your family to send the money over."
If my family sends the money, it will be the next day or the day after tomorrow at the earliest. Wouldn’t that mean I’ll miss the competition? Wang Meili pleaded, “I’m not a freeloader. My money was stolen by a thief when I was on the train. Look, my pants are torn.”
"I have a letter of introduction. I'm here for the competition. Please be kind and let me go. I'll come back to pay the money later." If she had known earlier, she would not have offended Jiang Zao and the others. With them around, at least someone could take her out for a meal and find her a place to stay, so she wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Eh? Isn't that the person who was with Jiang Zao and the others?" Duan Zhenyun recognized Wang Meili.
He and Su Huaizhou lived nearby. After putting their luggage away, they came out to eat. As soon as they sat down, they saw Wang Meili arguing with the waiter.
Su Huaizhou thought of something: "She and Jiang Zao don't have a good relationship, go and bring her over."
Duan Zhenyun stood up and said, "Comrade, please don't worry. We are with her. Her meal expenses will be charged to our table."
When Wang Meili saw Duan Zhenyun, she felt as if she had seen her savior, and she broke free from the waiter and ran towards them.
The waiter was relieved to see that they were dressed more elegantly and that the watches they wore were enough to pay for their meals. "Okay, then settle the bill for her when you leave."
Duan Zhenyun gestured for Wang Meili to sit down. "Didn't you leave the train station together? Why are you outside by yourself?"
Wang Meili was reborn after escaping the disaster and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jiang Zao and the others were jealous of my pastry-making skills and tried everything to prevent me from participating in the chef competition. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise I would be finished."
Su Huaizhou picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "What kind of pastries can you make?"
