"You look like a member of a minority ethnic group on the border, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and very fair skin. You are extremely beautiful." Li Yuqin blurted out.

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Xia Tao would think she was being presumptuous, so she explained: "There is a Uyghur female colleague in our unit who looks like you."

"A lot of people say that, but I'm not Uighur, I'm Yi."

Xia Tao explained with a smile, and seemed to be an easy-going person.

"No wonder, the Yi people also have big eyes and high noses, they are all pretty, but they are all quite dark, not as white as you."

There are also Yi people in Li Yuqin's unit, and they do look like foreigners.

"There are also white Yi people. My mother is quite white. I look like her."

Xia Tao explained patiently and had a very pleasant chat with Li Yuqin.

In the past, He Aihong would definitely take the initiative to chat with her new classmates, but with the experience of Zheng Jingyun, she no longer had any thoughts and just wanted to spend two years of college life in peace, so she just said hello and went to bed for a nap.

Shangguan Qing nodded coldly and went to bed.

Xu Erfeng had no intention of making friends with her new classmates. After saying hello, she went to bed.

She finally understood that Ruan Qiqi and Shangguan Qing in the dormitory were not ordinary people. Zheng Jingyun must have done something wrong. That night, she and Li Yuqin were the only ones in the dormitory.

After a long time, Zheng Jingyun and He Aihong came back in a daze. Shangguan Qing and Ruan Qiqi were fine. The next day, He Aihong had a high fever. After the fever subsided, she seemed like a different person and no longer competed for the position of an official.

A few days later, Zheng Jingyun disappeared mysteriously. Ruan Qiqi and Shangguan Qing were very calm, but He Aihong was even more obedient. When she saw Ruan Qiqi, she was like a mouse seeing a cat. It was obvious that she knew that Zheng Jingyun's disappearance was related to Ruan Qiqi.

After careful analysis, Xu Erfeng roughly guessed that Zheng Jingyun was an enemy spy, and Ruan Qiqi and Shangguan Qing were both government servants.

Therefore, Shangguan Qing was the scorekeeper for every labor, and the class teacher took special care of her.

And there is Ruan Qiqi, who asks for leave every now and then, sometimes for a week at a time, and the school doesn't care.

Xu Erfeng knows her own limitations. She is just an ordinary farmer and she has fought hard to be able to go to university, so she must mind her own business, graduate successfully, and then become a state official, earning 42 yuan a month!

[Workers, peasants and soldiers who graduated in the 1970s would return to their hometowns after graduation and be assigned jobs. They received cadre salaries, which were higher than those of ordinary workers.]

Ruan Qiqi glanced at the new classmate, nodded, then went to bed, pulled the bed curtains and went to sleep.

In the afternoon, Xia Tao went to class with them. She talked to Li Yuqin along the way and also took the initiative to talk to Xu Erfeng.

"Student Xu, where are you from in Xiangxi? Maybe we are from the same hometown!"

"Xiangxi is so big, we should not be in the same place."

Xu Erfeng mentioned the name of her hometown, and Xia Tao was pleasantly surprised: "What a coincidence, we are really from the same hometown. My family is in the county town, but my grandmother's family lives in the commune next to yours, called Xingziling Commune, did you know that?"

"Of course I know. I have a cousin who married to Xingziling. Maybe I know your grandparents!"

Xu Erfeng was very surprised. She didn't expect that she was really from the same hometown as Xia Tao. She also let down her guard against Xia Tao. Her hometown was in the mountains. If she was not a local, she would definitely not know Xingziling. Xia Tao should be fine, right?

"My grandpa passed away before liberation, and my grandma also passed away last year. I was raised by my grandma. We only separated when I went to school in the city. But I would go back to live with my grandma during the holidays."

When talking about her grandmother, Xia Tao looked gloomy and sad.

Xu Erfeng looked embarrassed and didn't know how to comfort her. It seemed like nothing she said would be appropriate, so she just remained silent.

"Nothing. My grandmother passed away peacefully. She was very blessed. I've been to your Shiniu Commune, and I know there's a very famous person there. It's said that she was engaged three times, and all three of her fiancés had accidents, one died and two were disabled. This girl was engaged for the fourth time, but the next day after the engagement, her fiancé went up the mountain to chop wood and was bitten by a snake. Fortunately, it was a five-step snake, and the village had snake medicine, so she was saved, but she lost her thumb."

Xia Tao was very talkative and talked about the gossip about Xu Erfeng's hometown. Li Yuqin listened with great interest. Even Ruan Qiqi and the others were attracted and slowed down their pace.

Only Xu Erfeng's expression became more and more serious. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

"This girl is lucky. Fortunately, she didn't marry him. Otherwise, she would either be a widow or a disabled person."

Although He Aihong's expression was serious, her tone was sincere.

Xu Erfeng glanced at her with a look of surprise.

Li Yuqin hesitated to speak. What she actually wanted to say was that this girl was really unlucky. Her four fiancés all met with accidents one after another. It couldn't be a coincidence.

But no matter how stupid she was, she would not say it in front of so many people. This is feudal superstition.

"Did this girl marry her fourth fiancé?" Li Yuqin asked curiously.

"No, the fourth fiancé refused to marry her, but the girl refused to give up. The two families were in a stalemate. Last year when I went home to visit my relatives, my mother mentioned it. I don't know what the situation is now." Xia Tao said.

"I quit. The girl came to college."

Xu Erfeng suddenly responded in a calm voice.

"Where did that girl go to college... Erfeng?"

Li Yuqin reacted quickly and looked at Xu Erfeng embarrassedly.

"That's me. Walk faster. We're going to be late!"

Xu Erfeng smiled and quickened her pace to walk ahead.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned this." Xia Tao was very annoyed.

"Er Feng is not a petty person and won't care about it."

After comforting her, Li Yuqin went to chase Xu Erfeng. Seeing that she was very calm, she felt relieved.

"The first one had tuberculosis and wanted to get engaged to me for good luck, but it didn't work out and he died. The second one was an old bachelor who had an affair with another man. He was caught climbing the wall at night and his leg was broken. The third one was a village scoundrel. He was chased by a dog while stealing chickens and fell into a pond. He almost drowned, but he became a fool when he was rescued. The fourth one was a real fool. His father was the team leader."

Xu Erfeng calmly talked about her four marriages. None of them was her own will. They were all arranged by her parents without their permission. They just wanted the dowry given by the men so that they could marry their sons.

In the past, she was submissive. Her parents and brothers treated her like a beast of burden and calculated how much she could be sold for. She was also rumored to be a jinx and no one wanted to play with her for fear of being unlucky.

It was obviously their own fault, why blame her?

So she decided to resist. She firmly opposed the fourth marriage and broke off the engagement. Even though her parents agreed, she insisted on getting married. Since she had the reputation of being a jinx, she had to make good use of it.

She went to the team leader's house every day to cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang herself. No one dared to persuade her, for fear of being affected by her bad luck. God also helped her. The team leader's family was particularly unlucky during that period. The team leader would fall over when he walked around the house. His wife grew white hair while pickling vegetables, the chickens stopped laying eggs, the pigs stopped eating, and the dogs stopped barking at night.

The captain's family was terrified and determined to cancel the engagement. In this way, she got the opportunity to go to college. The captain originally wanted to arrange this place for his own daughter, but he had to give it to Xu Erfeng first in exchange for Taiping's family.

"It's good now, and it will get better and better in the future."

Li Yuqin sniffed a few times. She didn't expect that Xu Erfeng, who seemed cheerful and optimistic, had suffered such a great injustice. She felt so distressed.

"Definitely."

Xu Erfeng is full of confidence in the future and she will definitely live a better and better life.

Ruan Qiqi looked at Xia Tao in front of her thoughtfully. She always felt that this woman mentioned Xu Erfeng deliberately to prove that she and Xu Erfeng were from the same place.

Let Manzai come over tomorrow and smell whether this woman has any bad smell.
