Chapter 145 Crisis on the Wild Great Wall 1
Fubao wanted to laugh even more when she saw Yu Jingyue like this, but she held it back, pursed her lips and kept a straight face.
Yu Jingyue felt Fubao's unfriendly attitude and hung his head in frustration.
He is thirteen years old this year. Although there are some things about adults that he doesn't know and they won't tell him, when he was very young, his mother was hospitalized and he was taken care of by a nanny. He heard the nanny chattering and vaguely knew that he had a missing sister and his mother became ill because of his sister.
At that time, the nanny thought he didn't understand, but in fact he did.
From then on, he had been hoping that his sister could be found. It would be great to have a sister, much better than his bad brother. His brother was not good at all and always controlled him like a father.
The sister that Yu Jingyue imagined should be very beautiful and gentle.
But he never expected that the person he hated for having an affair with his brother was actually his sister.
Thinking about his own misunderstanding, he felt so ashamed that he wanted to kick himself. He was too stupid, too impulsive, and too self-righteous.
When his father forced him to apologize, he was unwilling to accept it, but now he came here willingly, wanting to apologize to his sister and let her recognize her ancestors.
But now it seems that I am really not the type to apologize.
Yu Jingyue hung his head in frustration and whispered, "Well... if you don't forgive me, I don't blame you. It's all my own fault..."
Fubao looked at Yu Jingyue and said deliberately, "It was your father who asked you to apologize, right? You had no choice. You got beaten, so of course you had to apologize."
When Yu Jingyue heard this, his neck turned red with anxiety, and he quickly explained: "No, you misunderstood. My father didn't ask me to come here. I came here secretly. My parents don't know. I really want to apologize to you. It was my fault before. I caused trouble for you in the heat of the moment. Now I know I was wrong. I, I -"
He spoke a bunch of words in a hurry, but suddenly got stuck here.
The sister in front of him stared at him with clear eyes, making him at a loss as to what to do and his mind went blank again.
Their eyes met, and he was stunned for a long time before he blushed and said awkwardly, "I just came here to apologize..."
Fubao felt helpless seeing him like this, thinking that this younger brother grew up in the city and was thirteen years old, but still like a child. She and Brother Shengtian had already worried about a lot of things when they were thirteen years old, okay?
I suddenly remembered what Brother Shengtian said. He said that she was born in such a good family, but ended up suffering in the countryside.
She now feels that it is her blessing to be able to grow up under the big roller.
She raised her eyebrows and deliberately asked Yu Jingyue, "Are you here to apologize because you heard from your parents that I might be your sister?"
Yu Jingyue nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
My dear sister, this is my dear sister!
Fu Bao sighed in his heart: "What if it's not true? If it's not true, do you think you are completely innocent?"
When Yu Jingyue heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He thought about it for a while and finally understood.
He raised his hand, slapped his head, and said very forcefully, "I suddenly realized why my dad beat me up so badly without telling me. I used to feel so wronged!"
Originally, he thought that since he didn't know that was his sister, if he had told him earlier, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
But now thinking about it, he suddenly realized why his father beat him so much. It was not only because she was his biological sister, but also because he did not understand the situation clearly and acted impulsively?
Well, actually his father has told him this several times, but unfortunately he just didn’t listen.
Fubao raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Yu Jingyue looked at Fubao and said seriously, "Sister, I want to apologize to you again. This time I understand. It's all my fault for being too impulsive and not verifying the truth. I just believed everything I heard! I will definitely reflect on myself in the future!"
A smile flashed in Fubao's eyes. She bit her lip and turned her face away: "Okay, I accept your apology."
Yu Jingyue was surprised when he heard this: "Really, sister? So you forgive me and acknowledge me as your brother?"
Fubao got a headache when he heard this. Why was this family so anxious?
She said helplessly: "You did something wrong, how can I know whether you are truly reflecting on it or just pretending to reflect on it? You should correct your mistakes yourself. When I think you have truly reflected on it, I will consider whether to acknowledge you as my brother."
Yu Jingyue was a little disappointed at first, but he soon cheered up again: "I understand. You're just testing me, right? Once I pass, you'll promote me to younger brother?"
He understands and has seen that all those who are promoted must be evaluated and there is a probation period!
Fubao: “…”
Well, he could think so.
Yu Jingyue's young and tender face radiated anticipation. He practically patted his chest and assured her, "Sister, don't worry. I'm sure I'll pass the inspection! When I get back, I'll write a report and a self-criticism first!"
As he said this, he was about to leave. But after just a few steps, he stopped again and said, "By the way, sister, I want to tell you the truth."
Fubao: “Hmm?”
Yu Jingyue rubbed his head and looked at the sister he liked more and more. After a long while, he suddenly blurted out: "Actually, everyone says that I am a kind child!"
Fubao: “……………………”
——
While climbing the stairs, she thought of Yu Jingyue, and Fubao couldn't help laughing out loud.
Her feeling was indeed correct. This was just an ignorant child, reckless and impulsive. The more like this he was, the more he needed to be guided well, so that he wouldn't grow up in the wrong direction.
When Fubao found herself thinking this way, she was stunned for a moment. Then she realized that in her heart, she had already accepted this younger brother.
After all, accepting a younger brother is actually easier than accepting another set of parents.
When I pushed the door open and entered the dormitory, it was already past lunch break and everyone was getting ready to go to the classroom. There were no classes in the afternoon, but there was a class meeting.
Li Juaner's eyes sparkled with excitement. "The midterm exam results will be released today. I wonder how we did."
When she said this, everyone became excited.
You have to know that after entering the university, they met too many outstanding people. Everyone who could enter the Imperial University of Peking was a chosen one. Everyone was looking forward to passing a test to see their position among these chosen ones and to see what level they were at.
This midterm exam is their first exam after entering school, so of course they attach great importance to it. The school also wants to know what the level of the students who are admitted after the first year of the college entrance examination after more than ten years of abandonment is, so they regard this midterm exam as very important.
When Fubao heard them mention it, he remembered this matter. He quickly changed his clothes and went to the class meeting with them.
When they got there, they found Yu Xiaoyue was already there, sitting in the front row of the classroom.
She had earphones in her ears and on the table was a small white aluminum box that looked like a radio, but was different.
After looking at each other, several roommates avoided Yu Xiaoyue and sat in the back row.
Yu Xiaoyue's punishment by the school has become so public now that everyone is somewhat avoiding her.
After everyone sat down, Li Juaner whispered, "That thing on her desk seems to be called a Walkman. I heard it's very hard to buy."
Feng Meini was surprised: "Walkman? Isn't that a radio?"
Li Juaner curled her lips. "That's different. I heard from the people in the next dormitory that it's called a Walkman. You put English tapes in it and you can listen to whatever you want, whenever you want."
Wang Fenghua listened and found it interesting: "This thing is really amazing. Where can I buy it? Is it expensive?"
Li Juan'er shook her head. "I don't know how much it costs, but it's definitely expensive, and you can't just buy it casually. I heard it's only available at the Friendship Store, and you won't find it anywhere else. You'd have to ask someone to buy it for you abroad."
When everyone heard the name Friendship Store, they immediately became discouraged.
Friendship Store is different from other stores. You can go to other stores as long as you have enough tickets and money, but many of the things sold in Friendship Store are foreign products, and most of the people who go there to buy things are foreigners. I heard that you have to use foreign currency or a special voucher to buy that kind of thing to buy there, and the ordinary industrial tickets they have are useless.
That's not something that ordinary people can use.
Think about how lucky Yu Xiaoyue is. The things she enjoys are simply beyond their reach. They will never be able to have her vision in their entire lives!
At this moment, Professor Ning, the counselor of this major, walked into the classroom and started the class meeting. As usual, Professor Ning first said some words to encourage everyone, and then showed concern for everyone's lives, and then began to distribute report cards.
This exam covered a total of six subjects in this major, with a full score of 600. Some students performed well and some did not, with some scoring over 420 points, while others scored 470 or 480 points.
Some are happy and some are worried.
Li Juaner scored 482 points in the exam, and her cheeks turned red with joy.
Staring at the red score, she felt that her efforts were not in vain. At least her results were recognized, and at least she was still outstanding in this university campus where only the chosen ones were outstanding.
At this time, Professor Ning announced Yu Xiaoyue's results: "Yu Xiaoyue scored 489 points this time, which is an excellent result. Everyone should learn from her."
Four hundred and eighty-nine points?
Is this the highest score known so far? Everyone looked at Yu Xiaoyue in surprise.
When Yu Xiaoyue heard this, she raised her head slightly, pursed her lips and smiled softly.
She heard the envy of the people behind her.
Of course she knew what those people said about how she slandered and dealt with Fubao, but it didn't matter.
As long as she has enough strength, as long as she is outstanding enough, what does it matter if others misunderstand her? When you reach the pinnacle, when everyone can only look up to you, what does all those gossips matter?
This world is ruled by strength, and Yu Xiaoyue believes in strength.
Even if Fubao was recognized, she didn't seem to have anything to worry about. She was still inferior to herself, and that was enough.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoyue lowered her eyes and chuckled.
Maybe she is at a disadvantage at the moment, and temporary success or failure is nothing.
Next she will go abroad. Some of her classmates are studying English hard, hoping to get the opportunity to study abroad on government scholarship one day. She can easily get such an opportunity.
At this time, Fubao's roommates were also a little surprised when they heard Yu Xiaoyue's results. Li Juan'er even lowered her head, scribbled something on her notebook with a pen, and suddenly began to doubt herself.
As for Feng Meini, she sighed.
She has suffered a great blow recently. At first, she was interested in Jing Fei, but later she knew that there was no chance for her. She then thought about studying hard, but her test results were not satisfactory.
She looked at herself from top to bottom and had no idea what she could show off. What should she do in the future?
As they were thinking about this, they heard Professor Ning say in a joyful and excited tone, "I want to give special praise to Gu Danyang this time. Her exam results are very good."
When Professor Ning said this, everyone looked up.
Very good?
Yu Xiaoyue scored 489 points, which is very good, but Professor Ning did not say that it was excellent. Now Professor Ning actually used the word "excellent". How excellent must that be?
Who is it?
Everyone looked at Professor Ning curiously.
Professor Ning smiled amiably at Fu Bao and said, "Student Gu Danyang, you scored 574 points on this exam, which is a very high score. However, that's not what surprised me the most. After all, all the students in this class were admitted with excellent grades, so a high score is nothing special. However, Professor Chen was very impressed with Gu Danyang's answer to the 'Ordinary Differential Equations and Dynamics' exam. He thought her approach to the last question was innovative and gave Professor Chen some inspiration."
Professor Ning was the first to applaud: "I hope everyone will learn from Gu Danyang's innovative spirit and study hard, so that they can better devote themselves to the Four Modernizations and reach the pinnacle of science in the future."
When the classmates first heard that Fubao had scored such a good score, they were all shocked. After hearing Professor Ning praise her again, they could hardly believe it.
You have to know who Professor Chen, the professor Ning mentioned, is. He is a serious and old scholar who is obsessed with experimental research every day. He is serious in class and the homework he assigns to everyone is difficult and tricky. At one time, everyone complained bitterly and felt that they would fail the course if they took the class of this old scholar.
Unexpectedly, Fubao actually got high scores under him and received his praise?
It’s incredible to think about it.
Fubao's roommates were even more excited and curious: "Fubao, you did so well on the test! How did you answer the questions on ordinary differential equations and dynamics? That class is so difficult, how could you answer it?"
When Li Juan'er first heard that Fubao had scored high marks, she subconsciously felt a tightness in her heart.
After all, Fubao and she were in the same dormitory, and they studied together. She had never been more diligent than herself, nor had she had any information that she didn't have. How could there be such a big gap between them?
It would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mindset.
Fubao is so amazing, much better than Yu Xiaoyue. She needs to learn from Fubao!
She leaned over and asked quietly: "Fubao, how did you answer that question so well? Can you tell me about it later?"
While everyone was envious, surprised and admiring, Yu Xiaoyue was stunned.
She couldn't believe her ears, so she turned around slightly and looked behind her, only to see that everyone was looking at Fubao in admiration.
All the gazes that were originally directed at him disappeared, and were all directed at Fubao.
No one looked at her again.
At this moment, she clenched her hands tightly and then let go.
She had never been ignored like this before.
Just at this moment, she felt Fubao looking at her.
Their eyes met and Fubao chuckled.
This smile was particularly eye-catching to Xiaoyue.
Fubao is very good-looking, but the better-looking he is, the more dazzling she looks.
She felt that the smile was mocking her and pitying her.
Yu Xiaoyue gritted her teeth, clutched her report card, and quickly ran out of the classroom.
She didn't like this feeling, not at all.
That day, Yu Xiaoyue returned home frustrated.
She felt as if she had lost all her strength.
She remembered when she was a child, she went on vacation to a sanatorium by the sea with her grandfather. She played with sand on the beach. The sand there was very beautiful. She tried to hold a handful of sand, but in the end, the sand slipped through her fingers.
Grandpa told her that the harder she tried, the more she lost.
She remembered the Ning family's comfortable courtyard and the delicious meals cooked by the nanny, and the admiration her classmates showed when they looked at Fubao. All of this once belonged to her, but now it was taken away by Fubao.
She tried desperately to stop the Yu family from getting close to Fubao and tried desperately to destroy the connection between Fubao and the Yu family, but everything seemed to backfire.
Yu Xiaoyue quietly put it in her bag and prepared to go home.
It's the weekend and she has to go home, but she is a little afraid to go home.
My grandmother is a very strict person. If I go back, she will definitely ask me about what happened at school. What should I say?
Also, my grandmother lived in a slum, and even to go to the toilet, I had to run out of the slum and into the alley. The environment was terrible.
——
Fubao did so well in the exam this time that not only did the department head praise her, but Professor Chen also quickly invited Fubao to participate in a mathematics research project. Fubao thought about it and declined. She is currently in the Chinese character input method research group and is very interested in this. She really doesn't have time to do anything else at the moment.
When she walked out of Professor Chen's office, she met a classmate on the way. They all looked at her with envy. Some of them came up to her directly to ask for advice and asked her how to study. Fubao introduced her own experience as much as possible and recommended several books she had read. Seeing her generous sharing, the classmates were naturally very grateful.
After happily saying goodbye to her classmates, she suddenly realized that someone was paying attention to her. She turned around and saw that it was Tan Xiangqian.
She was a little surprised: "It's you, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Tan Xiangqian said embarrassedly, "It's nothing. I came here to see the Dean of Studies, and he told me that the school has rescinded the original punishment against me. It won't be recorded in my file. It's just an internal school-level punishment."
Although they are both punishments, they are very different. Whether they are included in the file is another matter. The current punishment only makes Tan Xiangqian ineligible for the scholarship, but it should have little impact on future job assignments.
Fu Bao was happy for her after hearing this: "Really? Then congratulations, that's great!"
Tan Xiangqian looked at Fubao and found that Fubao was sincerely congratulating her.
She was somewhat moved, lowered her head, and whispered, "I heard that you asked the Dean for help. Thank you. I never thought you would help me..."
Fubao chuckled. "You testified for me and revealed some things about Yu Xiaoyue. Of course I have to thank you, so I mentioned it to the Dean. I just mentioned it briefly. The school has its own considerations on whether to make changes or not, so there's no need for you to thank me."
Tan Xiangqian was stunned. She was indeed grateful to Fubao, but she didn't expect that Fubao had no intention of taking credit for it and explained the matter so clearly and frankly.
She was silent for a long time before she murmured, "Fubao, you are so kind... Thank you, thank you, actually I, actually I——"
At this point, her eyes suddenly became moist: "In fact, I have been trying to please Yu Xiaoyue because my brother is in the countryside and he has always wanted to return to the city. I know that the Yu family has a quota and can find a way to get my brother back, so I have been trying to please her. She casually hinted to me at the time, and I quickly helped her do it."
She wiped away her tears and said, "Now I know I was wrong. I was so stupid. How could I pin my hopes on her? Besides, this path is not right in the first place."
Fubao was puzzled after hearing this: "Hasn't the educated youth already returned to the city en masse? Why are they still in the countryside?"
Tan Xiangqian sniffed and nodded. "Yes, I've returned to the city, and now I'm worried about finding a job. But I'm not in a hurry now. I can't just think of crooked ways. I'll take my time and look for a job. There will always be opportunities. The government won't let a young man sit idle."
Fu Bao frowned slightly, glanced at Tan Xiangqian, and then said slowly: "You're right. If you work hard, you'll find a job soon."
When Tan Xiangqian heard what Fubao said, she was slightly stunned. Would she really have a job soon? She really hoped it was true!
——
After returning to the dormitory, Fubao told her about Tan Xiangqian's revocation of his original punishment. She took a sip of water and said, "Okay, now the person who will be punished and recorded in the file is Yu Xiaoyue. Tan Xiangqian will only receive an ordinary on-campus punishment."
When she said this, Wang Meifeng next to her was stunned.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that all this seemed like karma.
She frowned thoughtfully and said, "I remember that day when Fubao told Xiaoyue in the class meeting that all those who harbor malicious intentions will eventually receive the punishment they deserve. Come to think of it, it really is true."
Fu Bao smiled when he heard this and raised his eyebrows. "Yes, all those who harbor evil intentions will be punished, and all those who are kind and work hard will be rewarded. Doesn't everything that's happening now prove this point?"
Wang Meifeng felt something was wrong: "Why do I feel like Fubao has some kind of magical power? Those who want to harm Fubao never have a good ending, and those who are good to Fubao gradually become better!"
Think about it, it seems to be the case, I don’t know if it is a coincidence or something else.
Fubao burst out laughing: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no such thing!"
However, his roommates said, "It really seems to be the case! I've truly experienced this from what happened to Yu Xiaoyue and Tan Xiangqian! And Yu Jingyue, he came to cause trouble for you twice, and both times he was about to get beaten up. Once by your brother Shengtian, and once by his own father. Don't let retribution come too quickly!"
Fu Bao sighed and said deliberately: "It seems that those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. I just want to ask you, are you afraid?"
Everyone originally thought that this was the case, but after hearing what Fubao said, they all felt that their thoughts were too absurd and couldn't help laughing. Mo Jiasi deliberately said, "We are scared, so scared!"
Fubao raised his chin and said, "In that case, please get me some hot water tonight. I'll bless you to get a high score next time!"
Roommates: “…”
After a moment of silence, Feng Meini chuckled, "Mo Jiasi, go get some water for Fubao. Let Fubao bless you to get a high score."
Wang Meifeng: "Yes, Mo Jiasi, you can be a guinea pig and give it a try."
Li Juan'er next to him agreed, and even Ding Weihong started to cheer: "Mo Jiasi, fetch water!"
Mo Jiasi was helpless: "You bully me, humph!"
Feng Meini: "This is to help you get high scores!"
Mo Jiasi: "Okay, I'll help Fubao fetch water tonight. Let's see if I can get a high score on the final exam. If not, Fubao will fetch water for me for the entire semester!"
Fu Bao was so frightened after hearing this that he quickly stood up: "Comrade Mo, please sit down. Let me help you get some water."
A semester of water is going to tire her to death.
But Mo Jiasi insisted: "No, no, I want to help you get water!"
Her resolute and fearless look made everyone laugh like crazy.
Fubao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone laughing like crazy. This is a big city, not a big rolling mountain.
She knew that she was different from ordinary people. It was okay in Big Roller Mountain, where the people were simple and superstitious about mysterious powers. So even if some magical things happened around her, they would not think too much about it. At most, they would think that she was lucky, or simply think that she was a lucky star or something.
But now we are in a big city. If something goes wrong and others misunderstand us, it will be troublesome.
Today at Tan Xiangqian's place, she also felt Tan Xiangqian's concern for her brother, which made her think of that silly boy Yu Jingyue, so she said a few more words.
However...Tan Xiangqian would probably think that it was all just a coincidence and not think too much about it.
When she thought of this, she collected her thoughts and stopped thinking about these things. Instead, she took out the scarf she had knitted. It was almost finished and she could give it to Gu Shengtian in a few days.
Who knew that Li Juaner would look at the scarf that Fubao had knitted and ask, "Fubao, did you knit this for your brother Dingkun?"
Fubao shook his head: "No, I knitted it for my brother."
When she said this, everyone else started to laugh. Feng Meini started to tease her, saying, "You should knit a scarf for your brother Dingkun. He's so good to you, how can you not knit one for him?"
With everyone cheering like this, Fubao actually thought of Xiao Dingkun.
Ever since he stayed with me by the lake in the rain for a long time, he came here once more, but he came with Teacher Huo. I didn't say much at the time, I just returned the scarf and the camera to him.
When Teacher Huo saw Xiao Dingkun's scarf, he was surprised and glanced at Fubao, but didn't ask anything. However, Fubao felt as if his thoughts were seen through.
Now Fubao heard the people in the dormitory making a fuss, so he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? They already have scarves, so they don't need us to make them. Besides, it's one thing for me to knit a scarf for my brother, but it's another thing to knit a scarf for someone else."
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this: "We're all brothers, how come we're different?"
Fubao blinked his eyes and thought to himself, how can it be the same? The meaning is different, isn't this asking even though he already knows the answer?
Everyone continued to make a fuss, and even Wang Meifeng said, "Actually, we should give Comrade Xiao a gift. After all, he lent us his camera, and we took so many beautiful photos, all thanks to him."
They took various group photos and individual photos, and took a circle around the campus. Now they have all been developed, put some in photo frames and hung in the dormitory, and some were sent back home. Everyone is very satisfied.
Everyone agreed when they heard this, so Li Juaner said with a smile, "Then let's publicly elect our Fubao as our representative to give Comrade Xiao a gift as a token of our gratitude."
Fubao snorted and held out his hand: "Okay, it's only natural to give gifts. But I'm responsible for borrowing the cameras, and you're responsible for enjoying the experience, so you should prepare the gifts and I'll be the one to deliver them. Here, quickly, give us your scarves!"
When she said this, everyone hugged their scarves tightly.
Fu Bao couldn't help laughing when he saw everyone's expressions. "You guys are just trying to get me to send it off. What are you thinking?"
Wang Fenghua smiled and said, "I'm knitting scarves for my husband and my son, so of course I can't give them to outsiders. How about this? We can pool our money and buy the best wool. You can knit it and then give it to your brother Dingkun. How about that?"
Fu Bao snorted, "I don't have the time for that! Let's find another way to deal with this gift. Let's not waste time on this."
When everyone heard her say that, they had no choice but to stop talking about it. After all, Fubao is now participating in the Chinese character input method research group and is also learning English. He is very busy every day and it is impossible for him to spare much time to knit a scarf.
Fubao lowered her head and carefully knitted the scarf in her hands, but what everyone had just said came to her mind.
Do you want to give Xiao Dingkun a gift?
Does he...need a scarf?
Not necessary?
Fubao remembered the scarf he had tied around his neck that day.
——
Fubao finally finished knitting the scarf and gave it to Gu Shengtian.
When Gu Shengtian got the scarf, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly put it on his neck: "Fubao is so good to me, Fubao is so good to me. This scarf is so beautifully knitted."
Fubao couldn't help laughing when he saw his silly look.
Gu Shengtian admired the scarf with satisfaction, then told Fubao the real business. It turned out that he planned to organize some classmates from their major to climb the Great Wall this weekend, and wanted Fubao to go with them: "A lot has happened recently, so it's a good time to go out and relax. It's also a good time to take advantage of the weather now. When it gets really cold, the wind on the Great Wall will be too strong, and it will be difficult for us to go."
Great Wall?
Fubao was quite interested. "Okay, we've been reciting lessons since we were little, saying we love the Great Wall, but I haven't even climbed it yet. But those guys over there are all your classmates, and they're all boys. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go alone? How about everyone in our dorm go too?"
Gu Shengtian thought about it and said, "Okay!"
This is a great idea. His classmates are all male, so it's a good idea to have a gender mix session.
Fubao mentioned it to his roommates, and they naturally agreed. Except for Ding Weihong, an old Beijinger, everyone else wanted to go.
Feng Meini and the others were chattering a lot and were very concerned. The school had organized several outdoor activities before, but they were all group activities. They would be taken there by a truck and brought back together. After returning, they had to write ideological reports or something, which was not very free.
Now everyone is organizing an outing privately, and it is to the Great Wall that they have seen in books a long time ago. Everyone is excited and starts to take out the capital map, studying the route to the Great Wall, and what they should prepare for the trip, such as thick clothes, scarves, hats, etc., and they also have to bring dry food and water.
On that day, Gu Shengtian and his friends came first to pick up the people from Fubao's dormitory. When the people from the dormitory came over and chattered, they found that in addition to Gu Shengtian and his friends, there were also Xiao Dingkun, Huo Jinyun, and Huo Jinyun's younger brother Huo Jinze.
It turned out that they were planning to climb the Mutianyu Great Wall this time. Unlike the well-known Badaling Great Wall, Mutianyu is a wild Great Wall that has not been developed yet and has a more original flavor of the Great Wall.
Because the distance is far and it is in the suburbs, it is naturally impossible to ride a bicycle, so they can only take a car. However, there is no direct bus there, and they definitely cannot afford to hire a car. They are all poor students, so where can they get so much money? After some discussion, Gu Shengtian ran to find Xiao Dingkun.
Xiao Dingkun's company had trucks for hauling goods, so they decided to have him drive a Yuejin light truck, and everyone would sit in the back. As for Huo Jinyun, he had heard Xiao Dingkun was coming, so he simply dragged his brother along to get some fresh air.
Huo Jinze passed the professional qualification exam this time, so it was a good time for him to relax.
Fubao's roommates were of course happy to see this scene, and everyone welcomed Xiao Dingkun.
As for Huo Jinyun and Huo Jinze... everyone's eyes quickly fell on Huo Jinze. He was tall and thin, wearing a popular puffer jacket, looking fashionable and handsome.
Several girls couldn't help but secretly look at him a few more times.
Huo Jinze faced everyone's gazes with some disdain. He didn't like to go out much. If his brother hadn't dragged him out this time, he felt that he might as well read at home.
He glanced at the crowd and saw Fubao.
When he saw Fubao, he remembered the poem that had been lingering in his mind a few days ago.
Most girls today wear thick cotton-padded jackets, which make them look a little bloated. But Fubao, although wearing the same clothes as everyone else, is still slim and graceful, standing in the wind like a small tree standing against the wind.
He looked at her for a few seconds and then looked away.
Xiao Dingkun was already sitting in the driver's seat at this time. He looked through the glass window at Huo Jinze and naturally took in Huo Jinze's expression.
He raised his eyebrows and laughed contemptuously.
At this time, almost everyone had arrived. After a brief introduction to each other, they started to get on the bus.
This is a brand new light truck with a front and a bed in the back. It is of course warmer to sit in the front, but it is relatively cold in the bed in the back. The front can accommodate two people, so everyone suggested that the two girls sit in the front.
Fubao's roommates looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, everyone let Fubao sit over. Feng Meini even whispered in Fubao's ear, "Your brother Dingkun is driving!"
Fubao heard this and was about to say something, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Dingkun looking at him from the driver's seat of the truck.
Through the car window, there was a faint smile in his deep eyes.
Feng Meini and Fubao suddenly stopped talking.
He, did he hear it?
Feng Meini, who was originally very excited, now felt a little uncomfortable, but she still pushed Fubao and said, "Fubao, get in the car!"
Xiao Dingkun opened the door next to the driver's seat and got out of the car: "Who will sit in the front?"
Originally, it would have been fine for Fubao to sit in the front, since there were supposed to be two girls there. But after hearing what Feng Meini said, she didn't want to sit in the front at all. She shook her head hurriedly, "Li Juan'er, didn't you almost catch a cold a few days ago? Doesn't Sister Fenghua have chronic cold legs? You two should sit in the front. I'm not afraid of the cold."
After hearing what Fubao said, Xiao Dingkun glanced at her meaningfully.
Fubao suddenly felt as if his thoughts were seen through, and he felt a little confused, but he still pretended to be calm and pulled Feng Meini and the others to the back.
I have to say, it was really cold in the back of the van, especially after it started moving. The cold wind was whistling, like a knife cutting on the face and ears. Everyone wrapped themselves in their thickest clothes, and wore hats and scarves, wrapped themselves tightly, but it was still cold.
So everyone huddled in the truck bed, snuggling up to each other for warmth.
There were boys and girls in the truck bed. Normally, everyone was very conservative and had to pay attention to the distance between each other. It was impossible for them to be so close. But in this cold weather, all that kind of alienation, conservatism and distance were thrown out of the window. Everyone was talking and laughing. You leaned on my arm and I leaned against your back, and we hugged each other.
Even Huo Jinyun huddled together with everyone except Huo Jinze.
Huo Jinze stood beside the truck bed, holding the iron sheet on the bed tightly with both hands, frowning, and persisting silently.
As the pickup truck drove out of the city and entered the mountain roads in the suburbs, it began to shake. Every time it passed a slope or bumped, everyone felt as if they were facing a huge wave and shook violently.
At this time, we need to unite and support each other. Everyone hugged each other and screamed loudly.
Huo Jinze finally lost his balance, staggered, and almost fell into the truck bed.
Huo Jinyun called him, "Come here and squat!"
Huo Jinze gritted his teeth and crawled over helplessly.
He really had to crawl over there, but there was no other way; the ground was too bumpy and he couldn't stand up.
As he crawled over, he even began to ask himself, why did he follow here? Why not just take a car, why did he have to take someone else's truck, and sit in the back of the truck!
What kind of crime is this!
Finally he crawled to everyone's side. When he looked up, he saw the smiling faces of several girls. They were all smiling at him, and some were waving at him: "Hurry up, hold your hand!"
A blush of embarrassment appeared on his face. He must look very ugly and embarrassing crawling in the truck bed.
He gritted his teeth, squatted down beside everyone, and held hands with a male classmate next to him, only then did he manage to steady himself.
After stabilizing his body, he subconsciously looked at Fubao next to him.
But I saw Fubao was also smiling. When she smiled, her eyes were bright, her teeth were white, and she looked delicate and pure, emitting a moving glow in the winter sunshine.
Huo Jinze's heart skipped a beat and his face flushed.
He gritted his teeth and turned away in embarrassment.
Fubao was unaware of this. In fact, she didn't notice how miserable Huo Jinze was. At this time, everyone was about the same, and no one was any better than anyone else. She and her roommates hugged each other's arms and huddled together to resist the bumps.
After once again passing a bumpy mountain road, Gu Shengtian wiped his red nose from the cold and said, "We are just like a brood of chickens in the countryside in winter!"
The mountain road was bumpy, the sound of the small truck engine was rumbling, and the cold wind was blowing. His voice sounded loud and ethereal.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Just look at this group of people, all wrapped up in thick clothes and huddled together, just like shivering chickens huddled together in the countryside! Most of these students came from the countryside, and over the past decade or so, they'd endured all kinds of hardships. Being cold was nothing to them.
Huo Jinze hid in the corner and looked at Fubao inconspicuously. He saw that she was standing close to her roommate, still smiling brightly.
And in this cold wind, I don’t know who started singing, but the song they sang was "Revolutionaries Are Always Young."
"A revolutionary is eternally young, like a great pine tree, evergreen in winter and summer. He fears no wind or rain, no cold or frost; he neither wavers nor moves, but always stands tall on the mountaintop."
At first the song was very faint in the wind, but later everyone joined in singing, and the streams gathered together and the singing became loud and clear.
Amidst this high-spirited singing, everyone no longer felt cold. They simply stood up, using their bodies to welcome the howling cold wind and their singing to resist the cold.
At this time, the truck was already driving on the mountain road. On both sides of the road were steep mountains, dead trees, cold branches, and the north wind. A group of young people were singing passionately and laughing loudly in the back of the truck.
Occasionally, a farmer carrying a load on his shoulder could not help but stop to look at this group of enthusiastic young people. There were also birds perched on the branches on both sides of the mountain road, flapping their wings and chirping, as if welcoming guests from afar.
In the cab of the truck in front, Xiao Dingkun saw the people on the back truck bed in the mirror, and also saw Fubao among the group.
Her snow-white cheeks were flushed pink because of the cold, but she held hands with everyone, smiled and sang, her eyes filled with cheerful notes.
Of course he heard what her roommate Feng Meini said to her.
Suddenly I became curious. Has she ever mentioned herself to others?
