Li Mengyao whimpered incoherently for a long time, wondering if she had been beaten in vain. But everyone had left, and no one paid any attention to her whimpers. Meanwhile, Luo Jun wanted An Ran to pay him back. He knew she must be wealthy, judging by her well-off lifestyle. But seeing An Ran staring at him with a cold, murderous gaze, he didn't dare to speak. He could only curse in his heart: "Bitch, you've made me miserable today. If you ever fall into my hands, I'll make you cry out to heaven and earth, but no one will answer. I'll make you cry and beg me..."
But what he didn't know was that An Ran was completely enraged at this moment, and was calculating in her mind how to kill him without arousing suspicion. She would never let such a person continue to live and disgust her...
I had a dreamless night. The alarm clock rang in the early morning. I got up and dressed myself, then made a cup of malted milk and went out to get water to wash my face and brush my teeth.
At this time, no one was talking at the educated youth site except for the sounds of people washing their faces and brushing their teeth, and cooking in the kitchen. They were all frightened by An Ran's appearance yesterday.
An Ran didn't care about them at all. She continued to do what she was supposed to do and was not affected at all. She even thought it was a good thing as it saved her from having to worry about trouble.
After finishing his meal, he didn't even look at anyone else. He just picked up his things and walked out. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was so scary...!
Anran's job was still to pick grass for pigs. When the villagers heard that she had pulled up all the seedlings and was assigned to pick grass for pigs, they had no objection. It also meant that there was one less person to grab work points. They were not stupid, so how could they object?
An Ran followed a group of children and continued to fight for pig grass. From a distance, she watched the villagers carrying water one trip after another. She asked Tiedan: Tiedan, have the villagers always carried water to irrigate the fields?
Tiedan nodded and said: Yes, Sister Ran, without water-guiding tools, those who are nearby don’t have to carry water so many times, but those who are far away have to carry water one trip at a time, and it has always been like this.
Tiedan thought for a moment and continued, "My grandfather and his family were worried too. Liushu Brigade was so poor. Every year, after turning in grain, the villagers didn't get much. Plus, some villages had electricity and tractors, but ours didn't. Every time we turned in grain, we were always last in line. Every year, we were recognized as one of the advanced brigades, but ours never made it!"
An Ran asked again: I see a lot of children in the village, and they are all working at home. Why don’t they go to school?
Tiedan said, "We wanted to go to school, but our village was poor and there was no school. We had to go to another village, a round trip that took two or three hours. There was also a large river on the way, with only a wooden bridge. On cloudy and rainy days, the wooden bridge wobbled, which was really scary. My family was afraid of accidents, so we didn't go to school."
An Ran thought for a moment and continued to ask: Is there no other way to go around? Do people from the nearby villages all go to that school?
Tiedan nodded and said: Yes, everyone has to go to school there. There are other routes, but it takes more than an hour to walk, so it will take more than an hour to walk in a day. Therefore, very few children from nearby villages go to school.
An Ran was silent. She had not expected that the nearby villages were so poor. Looking at the children around her who could not go to school and could only work, her heart ached.
After thinking for a while, she went back, drew a pattern of a waterwheel, and went to find the team leader to see if he could support her. She wanted to help Liushu Village become stronger step by step so that all the children could go to school...!
Another day's work was over. An Ran continued to sweep the mountains. Seeing many wild fruits, she picked some and put them in the basket. Then she found a big rabbit. She pounced to catch it, but suddenly bumped into a warm chest, which hurt her nose. She covered her nose and looked up at the person in front of her.
An Ran glared at Cao Kun and said: Where did you come from? Do you know that scaring others can kill them!
Cao Kun suppressed his inner restlessness and said in a hoarse voice: I came here to chase the rabbit, but I didn’t expect you to catch this rabbit too. Is your nose okay?
Anran looked at him, then at the rabbit in his hand, ignored him, covered her nose and turned away.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Cao Kun thought of Grandpa Yun’s illness and called her: Comrade An, wait a moment, I have something to ask you.
Anran stopped, turned around and looked at him, waiting for him to speak without saying a word.
Cao Kun looked around and saw that there was no one around. He asked, "Comrade An, do you know any medical skills? If so, I would like to ask you to do me a favor and examine an elderly man."
An Ran sneered and said, "Excuse me, who are you? What's your relationship with me? Why should others help you just because you ask? Don't you think you're being imprudent?"
Cao Kun said anxiously: I can pay you and give you this rabbit, okay?
An Ran sneered and said: If I want to eat rabbits, I can catch them myself. I have money too, so I don’t need your things. I am not a saint either, and I don’t like to meddle in other people’s business. Do you understand?
Cao Kun thought for a while and said: My name is Cao Kun, I am 26 years old this year. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me anytime.
An Ran asked in return: "What do you think I need from you? I have money, food and drink, and I can handle anything myself. What can you do for me? What do I need your help for? Okay, leave me alone. I don't know you."
Cao Kun said angrily: "Comrade An, don't you think you are too cold-blooded? That's a human life. I heard that you are a martyr's relative. Do you live up to your status as a martyr's relative by doing this?"
