Chapter 39



In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and warmth ushered in the first rainy day in the Red Flag Brigade.

Since they didn’t have to work on rainy days, the new educated youth could finally have a good rest. After a week, they gradually adapted to the life here.

Although this process is very painful, there is no other way. They cannot change the current environment, so they can only try their best to adapt to it.

Wen Nuan watched these people complain, worry, get irritated, and collapse until they finally returned to normal, without any ups and downs in her heart.

Senior, she has experienced these things once before, so she can naturally adapt to the rhythm here.

Moreover, at that time, she was faced not only with the fear brought by the unfamiliar environment, but also with the indifference of the people at the educated youth point and the bullying from Zhang Zhenzhen and others.

When they are tired or unhappy at work, they treat her as an object to vent their emotions, and all the bad and negative emotions are vented on her.

Although no lives were lost, the psychological and mental damage is even more vivid in people's memory.

Therefore, Wen Nuan had no intention of making friends with anyone at the educated youth site. At most, she just maintained a false appearance of peace, being polite yet distant.

"The rain has stopped. There must be a lot of mushrooms in the back hills. Let's go pick some mushrooms together! We can also pick some wild vegetables while we're at it!"

Du Xiaomei stood by the window, watching the rain outside slowly stop, and then she made a suggestion to everyone in the room.

"Okay, okay, I've been here for so long, but I haven't been to the back mountain yet!"

Yu Fei was the first to respond. Her tone was full of excitement. It was obvious that she felt it was too boring to just stay in the house like this.

Li Manyu couldn't help but roll her eyes after hearing what the two said.

"What's fun in the back hills? It just rained and there's mud everywhere. Forget it. If you want to go, go ahead. I don't want to waste my energy. Besides, do you have rain boots?"

A basin of cold water was poured on everyone's head. Yu Fei was no longer as excited as before, and she became listless.

"Oh, you can wear rain boots, straw sandals or rubber shoes. There's no need to be so particular in the countryside. Just wash and dry them when you get back!"

Du Xiaomei still wanted to go. Every time after it rained, she would go to pick mushrooms. Last summer, she stored a lot of dried goods, but she couldn't bear to eat them herself, so she sent them all back home.

Yu Fei was a little hesitant. She wanted to go but didn't want to dirty her shoes. Ge Tingting seemed to be eager to go as well.

"How about this, let's ask who wants to go and who doesn't, and if those who don't want to go can lend their wellies, that would be more convenient."

Wen Nuan glanced at Ge Tingting. She felt that Ge Tingting glanced at her from time to time when she said this.

With her eyes lowered, Wen Nuan thought about the day before yesterday when she was rummaging through the cupboard. She took out a pair of rain boots. There was no one in the room at that time.

Later, Ge Tingting came back suddenly and she hadn't packed up her things yet, so her rain boots were left outside.

So, the idea is to target her?

Although rain boots are not expensive, they require industrial coupons, so not everyone can buy them.

The warm rain boots were defective items bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, which I bought the day after my transaction with Li Hongmei.

She knew that there had been a lot of rain in the countryside in the past two years, especially in the countryside. When it rained, the roads were difficult to walk on. Her elder brother, who had lived in the countryside for five years, had worn straw sandals when it rained.

Walking in the mud, it was cold and icy. The rheumatism in her legs was acquired little by little, so with this condition in her life, she would naturally not wrong herself.

Sure enough, Wen Nuan was lowering her head, fiddling with the ball of yarn in her hand, when she heard Ge Tingting calling her name.

"Wen Nuan, are you going to the back hill?"

Wen Nuan raised her head and looked at her, her eyes were indifferent and a little cold.

Seeing Wen Nuan like this, Ge Tingting couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

I just feel that we are all educated youth who came from the countryside, so what's so great about being warm and gentle? Why do you look so cold and indifferent all day long, as if you don't care about anyone?

Especially when going to work, Wen Nuan could easily get a work point, while they had to work hard all day, so it was inevitable that they felt a little unbalanced.

"I'm not going!"

After getting the answer she wanted, Ge Tingting smiled and said:

"Since you're not going, you can lend your rain boots to Yu Fei! I have rubber shoes to wear, but Yu Fei can't wear cloth shoes to the mountain! You're not going anyway, so I'll just lend them to her!"

After Ge Tingting said this, the eyes of several people in the room immediately fell on Wen Nuan.

Yu Fei's eyes also lit up, and she looked at Wen Nuan expectantly and said:

"Wen Nuan, you have rain boots! That's great! If Ting Ting hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it!"

"I don't need to tell you what I have!"

Yu Fei's heart sank when she heard that, and the words she wanted to borrow were stuck in her throat.

Li Manyu was not afraid of making trouble when she saw the excitement. She knew Wen Nuan's attitude was warm, but she still added fuel to the fire.

"Hey, we all live in the same room. Since you have rain boots, why not lend them to Yu Fei? Rain boots are not disposable and will never wear out!"

The pair of rain boots in the warming cabinet are new and I have never had the chance to wear them. Why should I lend them to others just because of a few words from them?

Wen Nuan frowned and glanced at the few people.

"How do you know I don't use my things? Even if I don't go to the back mountain, does that mean I can't go out?

Besides, my rain boots are new, why should I lend them to others? Since you two are so big, why don’t you lend your rain boots or rubber shoes to Yu Fei! "

"Wen Nuan, what do you mean? We live in the same house, why do you have to be so angry? Yu Fei is just borrowing it, it's not like she won't return it!"

Ge Tingting shouted at the top of her voice, as if she was standing up for justice for someone.

"Don't be angry, just lend her. I just said that I want to go out too!"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go to the back hill? Now you're going out again! We won't go mushroom hunting with you!"

Wen Nuan sneered when she heard this.

"You think you are a roast pork, so popular. Don't tell me I won't go to the back mountain. Even if I go to the back mountain, I won't go with you.

A person who can't coordinate his hands and feet doesn't know how to use a hoe. I'm afraid you'll drag me down when we get to the mountain. What if I fall down?"

"You! Don't go too far! Who are you saying is uncoordinated?"

"Who knows? Everyone saw Aunt Song teaching you how to weed. You can't change the facts even if you deny it!"

Ge Tingting was so angry that she couldn't help it. After the team leader forced them to cut pig grass to earn two work points on the first day, they learned their lesson the next day.

After changing into working clothes and saying a lot of nice things to the team leader, he was finally assigned to work in the fields.

But I didn't expect that not only the pigweed was difficult to remove, but the weeds in the field were also difficult to deal with. After I was finally able to distinguish the seedlings from the weeds, I was unexpectedly stumped by how to use the hoe.

Ge Tingting has been living in dire straits these past few days. She finally doesn't have to go to work anymore, but she didn't expect Wen Nuan to bring this up again!

"You've gone too far, Wen Nuan. You're not united with your comrades. You have an extreme individualistic ideology and are too selfish!"

Wen Nuan took out the Little Red Book from her pocket and held it in her hand.

"I have read this little red book over and over again for no less than five times. Ge Tingting, if you want to work with me, you may have found the wrong person.

For someone like you who keeps an eye on what's in other people's closets, I think there must be something wrong with your thinking and behavior. I have every reason to suspect that you are up to something bad and have evil intentions.

Besides, I just said that I want to go out. Are you deaf or have Alzheimer's disease? Why are you still holding on to me? Are you deliberately looking for trouble? "

"You are the one who is deaf. Who are you calling Alzheimer's? You act so high and mighty all day long. We are all educated youth. Why are you so arrogant?

It's just a few work points, why are you so proud of it? It's nothing great!

Look at these people in the room. Who is willing to talk to you? It's because I'm kind and want to give you a chance to integrate into the group.

It's a pity that you are so ignorant of my kindness. It's really a waste of my kindness! Dog bites Lu Dongbin!"
