Because of the lotion incident, Lu Xueyun angrily pulled her companion behind her, while the other educated youths spoke warmly to Xu Nuo.
Li Hong said, "I didn't expect Comrade Xu Nuo to be so easy to get along with. I used to think you were aloof and didn't like to talk to people, and I even thought..."
Li Hong couldn't think of a way to describe it for a moment, when she saw Xu Nuo turn her head and "glare" at her, her cheeks puffed out and her eyes big and cute: "What? Comrade Li Hong, you'd better answer carefully."
Li Hong laughed and said, "I can't really say, well... anyway, she's both beautiful and cute now, and people just can't help but adore her."
Xu Nuo was amused by her. Li Hong was easygoing, kind-hearted, and had a good relationship with Xu Yan. The three of them walked to the place where they could sit on the tractor.
The thought of the tractor made Xu Nuo deflate like a punctured balloon. She leaned against Xu Yan and pretended to cry. Li Hong felt sorry for her but couldn't help but laugh. She patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, little sister. If you can't hold it in later, just stick your head out and throw up. I used to do that when I got tractor sickness."
Seeing Xu Nuo's horrified expression, Li Hong laughed until her stomach hurt.
She really adores Xu Yan's girl.
It wasn't just these educated youths returning to the countryside; there were also several villagers. The tractor was packed full, and Xu Nuo got the best spot, leaning against the back of the truck with a look of grim determination. Li Hong tried to comfort her, but Xu Nuo covered her ears in terror, as if she couldn't bear to hear it: "Don't say it, Comrade Li Hong, please spare this poor girl who gets carsick."
Luo Chen handed Xu Yan a few preserved plum candies: "Let little... Comrade Xu Nuo suck on them and see if it makes her feel better."
Xu Yan reached out and took it, her cheeks slightly flushed: "Thank you."
The tractor bumped along the way, and Xu Nuo felt much better after drinking the herbal water, though she still felt a bit shaky.
She closed her eyes and leaned against Xu Yan to catch up on sleep. This scene was very jarring to Lu Xueyun and made her feel very strange.
When Xu Nuo first came to Lu County, she clearly disliked Xu Yan. Others might not know, but she worked with Xu Yan in the cafeteria and personally witnessed Xu Nuo being sarcastic and sarcastic towards Xu Yan while being extremely attentive to Luo Chen. How long has it been since then, and the two have become so close?
Her gaze lingered subtly on Xu Yan and Xu Nuo's faces.
Lu Xueyun comes from a well-off family and is from a big city. Unlike other educated youth who never even used moisturizing oil all year round, she not only used it, but it was all sent from her family in Shanghai. However, looking at her now, she can't even compare to Xu Yan's skin, let alone Xu Nuo's.
She felt like cat claws were scratching at her heart, wishing she could ask her family to buy the same moisturizing oil as Xu Nuo and send it to her right now, but she didn't get along with Xu Nuo and was unwilling to lower herself to ask her.
He nudged Wang Ting next to him and whispered in her ear, "Later, you should also buy a bottle of moisturizing oil from Xu Nuo. Don't say I want it, just say you want it."
Wang Ting couldn't afford the moisturizing oil, but she still wanted some, so she shamelessly asked in a low voice, "Xueyun, could you share some with me later?"
Lu Xueyun was naturally unwilling. Although she had money, four yuan was not a small amount. In Shanghai, four yuan could buy a lot of things.
She cursed Wang Ting in her heart. How dare she ask her for skin oil? It's one thing to eat and drink her food all the time, but she actually dared to ask for it.
But she had no other choice but to nod and reluctantly hum in agreement.
Wang Ting was overjoyed. Her dark face tried her best to restrain herself, but she couldn't help but smile with delight. She immediately called out to the drowsy Xu Nuo.
The thought of owning a four-yuan moisturizing oil made her tone a little smug: "Comrade Xu Nuo, I want a bottle of that four-yuan moisturizing oil you mentioned. Remember to get one for me too."
Xu Nuo looked up at her, feeling dizzy, nodded, and then leaned back against Xu Yan.
Wang Ting felt lightheaded when she received stares from others.
She only brought two yuan with her when she went to the countryside, which was saved from her family's meager savings. She usually couldn't bear to spend even a penny, so this was the first time she had ever experienced the feeling of extravagance of spending four yuan at once.
Lu Xueyun was furious and cursed inwardly: What's so smug about it? It's my money that's being spent.
As soon as the tractor entered Luxian Village, the road was narrow and steep, and the vehicle was moving slowly and swaying. Xu Nuo didn't want to be jostled around on it and wanted to get off and walk.
Besides Lu Xueyun and Wang Ting, the other educated youth also got off the bus.
Normally, when a group of female educated youths walked on the road, they would attract a lot of attention from passersby. Now that Xu Nuo was there, even those turning over soil in the fields would stop and look at her.
"Look, that lady from the city has arrived."
People around him laughed at him: "Wang Laizi's eyes are sharp only when he's looking at girls. He walks like he's blind all the time. He can fall and break his head even when he's walking on flat ground."
"What, can't I look? Not only do I want to look, I also want to..." Wang Laizi laughed lewdly, his eyes darting around suspiciously. Chang Zicheng glanced at him, and he sheepishly scratched his head and fell silent.
Chang Zicheng threw down his hoe and ran up the slope. When he reached the person, his face was still a little red.
"Teacher Xu."
Xu Nuo was surprised to run into Chang Zicheng here and exclaimed happily, "It's you! What are you doing here?"
Chang Zicheng scratched his head and said, "My mother told me to come and wait, saying that you shouldn't stay in the educated youth dormitory, but... stay... in my... me."
It was just an ordinary sentence, but the village couldn't arrange a room for Xu Nuo, so Pan Yinhua told him to continue staying in her older sister's room. She was afraid he wouldn't see her, so she told him to come and wait for her early in the morning. But for some reason, he stammered and couldn't say it.
"Will I stay at your place?"
Chang Zicheng nodded.
The Chang family's place had the best accommodations in the area, and she was quite tempted, so she said, "Wouldn't that be troublesome?"
"No trouble at all. My eldest sister is married and won't be coming back to live here. Besides, my mother was going to come and wait for you herself, but she didn't know when the tractor would arrive. She told me to make sure to tell you that you'll be staying in my eldest sister's room."
As soon as Chang Zicheng finished speaking, Pan Yinhua walked towards them from a distance.
She said the same thing as Chang Zicheng, that the dormitory for educated youth was a shared dormitory, and that she was afraid Xu Nuo wouldn't be used to it, so she sincerely invited Xu Nuo to stay at her house.
Because of Pan Yinhua's warm invitation, Xu Nuo no longer declined, but she said, "I have to pay rent, I can't stay here for free."
Pan Yinhua shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, Teacher Xu, please don't be so polite. It's already very kind of you to come and teach in our area."
“From then on, I will spend an extra half day each time explaining the key points to Brother Zicheng.”
Pan Yinhua was overjoyed. All she wanted was for Xu Nuo to give Chang Zicheng extra tutoring, but she hadn't dared to say it. Now that Xu Nuo had brought it up herself, she thought this city girl was sensible and understanding. She took Xu Nuo's hand and thanked her, saying, "That would be wonderful."
