Gouzi and Erhua took turns telling Qian Xiao about everything that had happened in the past few months since Qian Xiao left. There really wasn't anything major, except for the clumsy antics of the newly arrived educated youth, which were quite amusing.
Erhua suddenly blurted out, "Erdan, do you know Qian Wangcai is back?"
Qian smiled and nodded: "Ah, I know, I heard it from my third uncle."
"My god! You have no idea, I was almost scared to death when I saw Qian Wangcai last time. His eyes were so creepy that I didn't dare to look at him a second time. I always felt that Qian Wangcai could come and chop me with a knife at any moment."
"Is it really necessary?" How could someone like Qian Wangcai have such courage?
Gouzi nodded: "I feel the same way. Qian Wangcai is gloomy all over, like he has a grudge against everyone."
So he's turned evil? It seems he really was abandoned by the system, but does he still have memories of that system? If so, how was he released?
However, if you still have that memory, having once been glorious, it would be unbearable for someone with a bad mentality to suddenly fall to the bottom.
She put herself in a position of worry: what would happen to her if the space suddenly disappeared and the two eggs were gone?
She thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason for her turning to the dark side. It would be a pity if she lost Shuangdan. She would also be sad if Shuangdan disappeared, just like the sudden death of a good friend. But she really couldn't bring herself to take revenge on society because of this.
"And another thing, I saw Qian Wangcai loitering around the educated youth compound last time, and I always felt like he wasn't up to anything good," Erhua suddenly remembered what she had seen a few days ago.
Gouzi had a knowing look on his face: "Can't you guess? He's definitely thinking of marrying a sent-down youth from the city, then he'll have a good life. It seems like the sent-down youth from our village are all quite wealthy."
“Look at the little work they do, they don’t even worry about earning a few work points a day, and none of them go hungry. That tells you they have money.”
Erhua was surprised: "Ah! But those three female educated youths would be interested in Qian Wangcai?" Even she wouldn't be interested in Qian Wangcai, okay? He can't do anything. What would she gain by marrying him? Just to have someone to take care of in her family?
Gouzi shook his head: "How would I know? I'm not a woman, so how would I know what women are thinking? But my grandma said that a lot of women like Qian Wangcai's pretty boy looks."
"I remember for a while, all the girls in our village were all swarming around Qian Wangcai, so why is it that no one wants to talk to him anymore now that he's back?"
The magic failed, then. Those girls' eyes looked strange before, something must have affected their normal judgment.
The dog pointed at Erhua: "I remember, you used to hang around him all the time, why are you scared now?"
Erhua looked bewildered: "What? I really did it? No way, I've always looked down on people like Qian Wangcai since I was little, don't make up stories about me."
Gouzi immediately objected: "What nonsense am I talking about? In our village, apart from Erdan, there isn't a single girl who hasn't been around Qian Wangcai. If you don't believe me, ask Erdan and see if I'm lying."
Erhua looked at Qian Xiao with a pleading expression. Qian Xiao twitched his lips and said, "Gouzi wasn't lying. Back then, you were impossible to persuade. You even got upset when I told you. It hasn't been that long. You haven't forgotten, have you?"
Does that system have other abilities besides deceiving people, such as the ability to deceive people so that the person being deceived doesn't even remember it?
Erhua looked utterly dejected: "Really? How come I don't remember anything at all?"
Erhua shuddered, her voice trembling as she said, "Oh my god, do you think Qian Wangcai is possessed by something? Otherwise, how could I not remember the things I've done?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she was right: "Besides, Qian Wangcai isn't very popular in our village. The girls all look down on him because he can't do anything. How could everyone suddenly like him?"
She quickly moved closer to Qian Xiao, but suddenly felt a chill all over her body. Could she have been targeted by a ghost?
The dog looked around nervously, as if there were some unknown creature in the house.
Qian rolled her eyes and slapped Erhua away who was leaning closer: "What are you thinking? If it were a ghost or something, would it be out and about in broad daylight under the blazing sun?"
"Yes, yes, my grandma said that the sun is scary, what's going on?"
"Yeah, Erdan, what happened? How could Erhua not remember?"
Qian Xiao's lips twitched. How would she know!
"Maybe, probably, I guess, back then it was probably the peak of Qian Wangcai's good looks, so you were all fooled by his good looks. Look at him now, you've all come to your senses."
Erhua and Gouzi were completely confused and didn't understand. But if they said they didn't understand, it would be embarrassing, and Erdan would laugh at them for being bad students. So they decided to pretend they understood.
The two looked at each other and both understood what the other was thinking.
Erhua: "Yes, right?"
Dog: "Yes, Erdan, you're right, that's exactly how it is."
Double Egg: "Host, what did you say? How did they believe you?"
Qian Xiao...Yeah, what did she say?
Erhua noticed the air was a bit too quiet: "Hey, do you guys think the educated youth in those settlements could be interested in Qian Wangcai?"
"Who knows? Isn't it said that city people and us rural people have different aesthetics?" Gouzi couldn't understand either, always feeling that those educated youth from the city were out of place with them.
"Why worry about so much? Those are things we shouldn't be thinking about at our age. How are your grades this time?" You two should be in fourth grade now, right?
Gouzi and Erhualian slumped: "Can't we talk about something happy?"
Qian Xiao was also impressed, wondering how two academic underachievers had ended up together: "Alright, remember, at the very least you need to get a junior high school diploma, then you'll have a chance to get jobs in the city."
"We know, we really studied hard, but we just can't seem to get it right. We feel like we recognize most of the characters, but when they're put together, we just can't understand them."
"How about I tutor you two?"
Erhua and Gouzi almost shook their heads off: "No, no, no, you've finally come back, you should rest well, we can't let you worry about us."
"I'm not tired. How about two hours a day?" Two hours is still within the limit of how much I can tolerate these two idiots.
Erhua slid off the kang (a heated brick bed) in one swift motion: "Well, I still have some needlework to finish at home, I'll head back now."
The dog's eyes lit up, and he put on his shoes and followed him outside: "That's right, my grandma asked me to chop firewood, but I forgot. Um, I'll come and chat with you another day."
Qian Xiao...
