northeast.
Zuo Yunrong came out of the post office with a package in her hand.
Several female educated youths nearby saw Zuo Yunrong and their eyes lit up immediately. They stepped forward and tried to grab Zuo Yunrong's arm: "Rong'er, is this a package your family mailed to you?"
Zuo Yunrong took a small step back, letting the arms of the group pass her.
Looking into the other person's eyes, one could see the deep-seated greed within.
Zuo Yunrong was also speechless. She had received a letter from Gu Yunyang from Guangdong Province.
It subtly commented on her life in Northeast China.
Gu Yunyang made a cryptic comment on the things she had mentioned in her letter.
One of the things she was told to be careful about was her group of "best friends" around her.
Zuo Yunrong still had doubts.
She had also observed these people carefully these past few days.
Ultimately, Zuo Yunrong regretfully discovered that there were indeed a few people among them who harbored ill intentions towards her.
Getting close to her is simply because people see her as a sucker and want to get something out of her.
Because of her good family background, her family sends her nice things every month.
Are there still grain and ration coupons?
Originally, she didn't have much thought about it, but after Gu Yunyang reminded her, Zuo Yunrong observed quietly for a while and found that what Gu Yunyang said was right.
But she didn't want to fall out with these people, since she was no match for them on her own.
So Zuo Yunrong proudly raised her head, nodded, and said, "Yes, it was mailed from home. By the way, I'm not feeling well; I've been quite tired from working these past few days."
I originally wanted to try and get some exercise myself. But looking at my body, I just can't handle it. From now on, if anyone is willing to help me with farm work, I'll share these things that my family sends me. There's nothing I can do; my body just can't take it.”
This was also Gu Yunyang's advice to her.
She, a girl alone, was no match for this group of female educated youth.
Besides, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
For female educated youth sent to the countryside, reputation was very important.
In case something goes wrong and bad things are spread about us.
It will be difficult for her to establish herself here.
Unless she is willing to marry him.
Therefore, it is necessary to both recruit some and crack down on others.
With food and ration coupons in hand, she could gather a group of people around her.
As for those who want to freeload, forget about it.
The group of female educated youth paused, not expecting Zuo Yunrong to say that.
Previously, Zuo Yunrong had always treated them to her food.
All they had to do was offer a few smiles and a few kind words to coax Zuo Yunrong.
Now, this little white rabbit has actually awakened?
That won't do.
They all wanted to eat Zuo Yunrong's food, but they didn't want to help her with the work.
I'm tired from doing my own work, why should I help Zuo Yunrong?
"This? That's not a good idea, Rongrong. We're all educated youth sent to the countryside, here to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. You're just lazy and good-for-nothing..."
"Shut up!"
Zuo Yunrong angrily rebuked, "This woman, she was all smiles when she got free food before."
Now you're exposed, aren't you?
"I have poor health, which I've had since I was a child."
I also have a certificate and diagnosis from a hospital in Beijing. I really can't get too tired, otherwise I'll have an attack, and if I'm not mentally alert, I might even grab a knife and start stabbing people..."
Gu Yunyang was definitely unaware of what was happening in Northeast China.
He received several letters from Zuo Yunrong and learned about her situation in just a few exchanges.
Although in her writing, it seems that she is surrounded by a group of friends who want what's best for her.
But Gu Yunyang learned what had happened from between the lines. Wasn't this a classic case of a white lotus and a green tea?
If it were him, it would be easy to handle.
It's somewhat dangerous for Zuo Yunrong, a girl, to be alone.
