As she spoke, Tian Tian turned around and showed the back of her neck to Lingling.
"Oh my god!" Shen Lingling exclaimed, "Why is there a large red area here?!"
"I'm sunburned!" Tian Tian turned around.
"I was exposed to too much sun and got sunburned. The red area over there is sunburned. This layer of skin is damaged and needs to grow a new layer of skin."
She was really annoyed by her white skin, which was as white as a dead person's. She didn't know before that she went out to work and study, handing out flyers on the street under the scorching sun. She was exposed to the sun for a whole day and many parts of her body were sunburned.
Her neck, arms, and calves were all sunburned, with large red areas that made her feel uncomfortable for several days.
Later she learned her lesson and wrapped herself tightly every summer.
Unexpectedly, her physical condition has not changed after coming here. She has been wearing long sleeves and long pants when delivering meals to the fields these days. Fortunately, this era is not as hot as it will be in the future, and the fabric is soft and sweat-absorbent, so she is not hot even in long sleeves and long pants.
He wore a straw hat on his head and a towel around his neck, covering himself tightly from head to toe to avoid getting sunburned.
But yesterday at noon she lost the towel while hiding from the wild boar, and later fell into the river and soaked in it. Only the part of her body above her shoulders was exposed to the sun, so her neck and face were sunburned, and her neck was more severely sunburned, while her face was just a little sore.
"Does it hurt?" Shen Lingling looked at Tian Tian's neck with a distressed look on her face.
"It's okay! It wouldn't hurt if the clothes didn't rub against me!" Tian Tian adjusted her clothes, trying her best to prevent the collar from touching her neck.
"Now do you know how much I envy your skin color?" Tian Tian was really envious of Shen Lingling's wheat-colored skin. Shen Lingling's skin color was very even, the kind that didn't require foundation, and it was delicate, without acne or anything. Tian Tian was extremely envious.
And with facial features like Shen Lingling's, she basically doesn't need to wear makeup when going out. Just putting on lipstick will look good.
"Am I really good-looking?" Shen Lingling became visibly happy.
"Of course!"
Tian Tian thought she had coaxed Shen Lingling into submission, but she didn't expect Shen Lingling's expression to dim the next second. Thinking of the figure in her mind, she said dejectedly, "But no matter how pretty I am, I'm just a country girl. I'm useless. I can't read a few words, and I haven't seen much of the world. I'm definitely not as good as those city girls."
Tian Tian was so angry that she fell backwards. She stroked her chest and said angrily, "Shen Lingling! Who told you these words?!"
“No one told me, I’ve always felt this way.”
"Bullshit!" It seemed that everything she had just said to Shen Lingling was in vain.
"Lingling! Haven't you seen those girls from the city? Don't you know that there are so many female educated youth living in our educated youth settlement? Compare those female educated youth with you. How are they better than us rural girls? Tell me."
"She, they can read!" Tian Tian asked Shen Lingling suddenly, which stunned Shen Lingling.
"I can read, I graduated from junior high school, but I didn't go to high school."
"Some of them can play the piano, and the accordion music they play is very beautiful."
Who dares to play the piano at this time? You're risking your life!
Tian Tian rolled her eyes helplessly, "I can also fluff cotton! You can even play a tune with leaves!"
"She, she, they are good-looking? They have good temperament!"
"Tsk!" Tian Tian sneered disdainfully, "Sister Lingling, look at those female educated youth from the city who have worked in our brigade for a few days. What's the difference between them and us? We are a little darker, a little stronger, and not as light as them, but we are definitely not worse than them."
"Lingling! You weren't like this before. What's wrong with you? Who said something to you that made you think about this all night long?"
Tian Tian didn't understand. Before, Shen Lingling had never felt inferior because she was from the countryside. Even when facing those educated youth from the city, she always put herself on an equal footing with them.
"Are you in love with the male educated youth? Are you in love with Fang Siwen? But Fang Siwen has other girls he likes? So you feel uncomfortable?"
Shen Lingling was shocked.
Tian Tian originally just said this casually because Shen Lingling had expressed her affection for Fang Siwen before, but now seeing Shen Lingling's expression, Tian Tian actually guessed it right.
"No way? Am I really right? You like that Fang Siwen? What do you like about her?"
Tian Tian was speechless. Fang Siwen had only been here for less than three months, and it was impossible for them to contact each other openly.
