Chapter 053
Under the threat of Wu Changming's gaze and the whip in his hand, Gu Yuzhu and the other seven people tensed their faces, lowered their heads, and dared not say a word. They lined up obediently to leave the hospital.
Watching them leave the yard, Chuxia slowly turned around while sitting at the table.
When she looked back and saw that Lin Xiaohan had finished his meal, she quickly quickened her eating pace.
Lin Xiaohan didn't get up and leave. He looked at Chu Xia and asked, "Are you soft-hearted?"
Chuxia raised her eyes to look at him, and shook her head with the steamed bun in her mouth.
Seeing the ten of them arguing over food until now, blaming each other, although Chuxia had many other thoughts, the biggest feeling in her heart was gratitude.
I am glad that I made the firm decision to separate myself and not form a partnership with them.
From the current situation, we can see that if she had not been firm in her attitude and had joined forces with them, she would have been like in the novel, where the more she did, the less gratitude she received, and at most she would have received a few words of verbal praise.
Whenever something is not done well or something goes wrong, you will be criticized and blamed.
In the novel, if she had not been so diligent and thrifty every day, taking on all the trivialities of life, and giving up her teacher position to Su Yun who was unwilling to do farm work to earn work points, in order to maintain a basic life, it would have been impossible for them to remain united.
Han Ting's unrestrained and righteous character are naturally built on the basis of such unity.
Without her silently supporting them from behind, they would just be like they are now, living their lives in a mess in happiness and carefreeness, not caring about tomorrow after today, and then inevitably and without suspense, they would fall apart, and their selfish nature that only wanted to take advantage without paying would be completely exposed.
Although Chu Xia acted very rational and hard-hearted about this matter, after all, she had liked Han Ting for so many years, had devoted herself to Han Ting for so many years, and had been friends with Chaozi and Guogai for more than ten years, so Lin Xiaohan did not talk to her about this any further.
He and Han Ting have never been on good terms, and he was just treating this as something fun and entertaining.
What he hated most was Han Ting's behavior of acting like the boss wherever he went. He thought he was omnipotent and could take care of everyone. He talked about being cool, righteous and enthusiastic all the time, as if he was the most special and dazzling person in the world.
He totally deserves to be where he is today.
From then on, his days of being surrounded by people and being treated as a big boss at the educated youth point were completely over.
But Lin Xiaohan had no intention of continuing the conversation with Chu Xia.
Chu Xia swallowed the steamed bun and continued, "I think it's good now. Stealing the granary is a serious matter. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Being young and ignorant is not a reason or excuse for not being punished. They live their lives like this, causing such a big incident and bringing so much trouble to the team. If the team continues to let them go, then there will be problems."
Seeing Chu Xia say this, Lin Xiaohan looked at her for a while.
After a moment, he tried to ask again: "You really don't feel sorry for Han Ting at all?"
Chu Xia took a bite of the steamed bun and spoke vaguely: "Why should I feel sorry for him? He asked for it, didn't he? Besides, he has Su Yun to feel sorry for him. Su Yun cried so hard for him just now, how can I feel sorry for him?"
Lin Xiaohan still looked at Chu Xia, "Why does it sound a bit sour?"
Chu Xia immediately opened her eyes wide and shook her head when she heard this, "No, I just don't feel sorry for him at all. He doesn't deserve my love."
No matter how much trouble he suffers, Han Ting always has the aura of the protagonist.
Even though being sent to labor camp would mean a lot of suffering, it shouldn't have a big impact on him. He has a carefree nature and can handle anything with ease.
Han Ting was sent to a labor camp, but the impact of this incident on Han Ting was actually not as great as the impact on Su Yun.
After Han Ting was sent away, there was no one to protect Su Yun at the educated youth center. With Wu Changming watching over her and cracking her with a whip while she went to work, her days would be very, very difficult.
Because she had always been protected by Han Ting, she had basically never suffered any hardship before.
But from today on, she was afraid she would have to live in misery.
Lin Xiaohan didn’t know how much truth or falsehood in Chu Xia’s words, and he didn’t ask any further questions.
After Chuxia finished her meal, he got up, cleaned up the dishes with Chuxia, and went to school as usual.
This matter has nothing to do with them, so naturally it has no impact on them.
Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan were just like everyone else in the village. They only chatted about it for a few words and didn't think much about it. Their minds were still on their own lives.
In addition to working and attending classes, they also have another important thing to do, which is to build a house.
After getting off work and leaving school in the evening, they first went to the yard to look at their adobe bricks.
The adobe bricks have been dried in the sun for three days, and the master craftsman has also turned them over. They all look good.
On the way back to the educated youth camp, Chuxia calculated the time and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the timber factory to buy all the timber I need, and find a carpenter to build the beams, doors and windows. At the same time, I can also build the foundation..."
Although the fact that Han Ting and his team had no food to eat had been exposed and attracted the attention of the team cadres, Chu Xia did not intend to delay staying in the educated youth site any longer.
Under the current circumstances, it would be better for her to build a house and move out as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the longer you live together, the more likely trouble will occur.
Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan returned to the educated youth site to talk about building a house.
In the dim twilight, there were no lights on in the educated youth center, and no one was talking.
After entering the yard, Chu Xia asked in a puzzled voice: "Could they not have finished work yet?"
After school, she and Lin Xiaohan corrected homework at school and went to the adobe yard to look at the adobe bricks. It was almost dark now, and Gu Yuzhu and the others had not returned yet.
Lin Xiaohan replied: "It should be."
If they get off work, given their current state of blaming each other, it is impossible for them to go out together, and someone must be at the educated youth site.
Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan went to the kitchen together.
After entering the house and lighting the oil lamp, Chu Xia said again: "It seems that Captain Wu really took ruthless action against them."
When they returned to the educated youth site for lunch at noon, they did not run into them.
Chu Xia had just finished saying this when Gu Yuzhu and the others came back and entered the yard.
Hearing the sound of them entering the yard, Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan shut up and stopped talking about it.
They cooked by the light of oil lamps.
After a while, Li Qiao, Gu Yuzhu and Chen Sisi entered the kitchen.
Chuxia sat at the table and subconsciously turned her head to look at them.
It had only been one day since they last met, but the moment Chu Xia saw them, she felt that they had all become different people. The three of them had lost their usual spirit and vigor.
I don’t know what they went through that day.
The three of them had expressions of fatigue and pain on their faces, and they looked so tired that they couldn't even speak.
I used to be irritable and complaining, but now I feel a little numb.
It seems that the work Wu Changming assigned to them was not an easy one.
With Wu Changming watching over them, they probably didn't even have time to rest and catch their breath, let alone cheat.
After working like this for a whole day, one would probably be almost exhausted to the limit of one's physical limit.
They looked bitter and said nothing, and just started to light the fire and cook.
What we cooked was still plain rice porridge with dried sweet potatoes, which was enough to keep us from starving to death.
Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan finished cooking at about the same time as them.
When they sat down at the table to eat, Hu Yang and the other two men came in to cook.
The three boys are in better condition than the girls, but still limited.
They were so tired that they didn't say anything and just did what they had to do with sad faces.
None of the six of them spoke, and Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan also did not speak.
No matter what they say now, it seems to be irritating them, so it is best to say nothing.
Then, when they were eating in silence, Su Yun came back into the kitchen.
After she entered the kitchen, she stared at Gu Yuzhu and the other two, then at Hu Yang and the other two.
Gu Yuzhu and the other two had already started eating, but they didn't call her or offer her any food.
Hu Yang and two others were cooking behind the stove. Like Gu Yuzhu and the other two, they ignored her and didn't say anything to her. It seemed that they didn't even cook her meal.
Su Yun stood there in a daze.
Seemed very confused.
The fatigue and bitterness on her face were more obvious than on the others.
It was like the flowers in the greenhouse had experienced the torture of a storm.
After a moment of silence, Li Qiao spoke to her, "You left after lunch, and I didn't have time to tell you that we are officially disbanding. The remaining food has been distributed to you. You can live on your own in the future. We won't be partners with you anymore. It's hard to tell who gets the advantage and who gets the disadvantage when we are partners. When the time comes to distribute food, you need to make up for the work points, so you can make up for your own."
They still ate lunch together, because they didn't finish the meal they made in the morning, so after they came back at noon, they just added some water to heat it up and ate it directly.
Su Yun was in a bad mood and ate quickly, so she went out after finishing her meal.
The other six people were tired after a long time and were in no mood to argue anymore, so they simply divided the remaining food and dispersed.
Since Su Yun was not there, they put Su Yun's share aside.
Hearing this, Chu Xia subconsciously glanced at Su Yun out of the corner of her eye.
Of course it was a very quick glance, and after that he immediately looked back and continued eating.
Chu Xia didn't see the expression on Su Yun's face.
But it was conceivable that she was about to collapse again.
Now there are seven of them left. Gu Yuzhu and the other three girls are in a group, while Hu Yang and the other three boys are in a group. They kicked her out, which is equivalent to isolating her.
She originally thought that Han Ting had left, and she was being forced by Wu Changming to do heavy and hard work, which was miserable enough.
Unexpectedly, what happened was even worse. Gu Yuzhu and the other three did not even have any regard for their old feelings. They did not consider her situation at all and simply did not take her to live with them, leaving her to live alone.
If she lives on her own, her life will be several times more difficult.
What's even worse is that she has done too little work and earned too few work points in the past six months. When the food is distributed, everyone will be compensated with their own work points, and she will have to earn a lot of work points.
Han Ting, Chaozi and Guogai were sent to labor camp for three months.
They couldn't come back for the grain distribution in autumn, so she had to face it alone.
There is not much food to eat now. If we cannot make up the work points, we still won’t get any food to eat.
It felt like a handful of cotton was stuffed in my throat, making it swell and hurt.
Su Yun lowered her eyebrows, her eyes instantly became wet, tears quickly filled her eyes, flowed out from the corners of her eyes, flowed down the root of her nose, and flowed into her lips.
If Han Ting was here, she wouldn't have shed so many tears.
Even if she was a little depressed and unhappy, Han Ting would come over quickly to comfort her.
But now, no one in this room cared about her mood or her tears, and no one even cared about her life or death.
They are such a group of people.
She felt like she was falling into bottomless darkness, and the surroundings were freezing cold.
A place like this and these people in front of her once again made her feel the darkness of this world.
She didn't ask any more questions, preserving her dignity.
She didn't let herself cry out loud, she took a step back, turned around and walked out.
After leaving the yard of the educated youth center, she could no longer hold back.
I walked a little further away, found a place to sit down, and started crying.
She hated the world.
Hate this twisted, ruthless, disappointing and desperate world.
