No one touched anything Luo Yan had used for a long time, clearly showing their disdain for her.
Even Lu Jianrong avoided her. After being avoided by Lu Jianrong once again, Luo Yan exploded. She stopped Lu Jianrong and was about to cry: "Brother Rong, are you not going to be with me anymore? Why do you always avoid me?"
Lu Jianrong did despise her, but his sophisticated egoism prevented him from breaking up with Luo Yan. Besides, he couldn't do without Luo Yan, a laborer who could do everything, in the countryside.
He smiled and soothed her, "Xiaoyan, don't think too much. I'm busy these days. By the way, have you finished writing your apology letter?"
When Luo Yan heard him say this, her emotions brightened. "I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake! You didn't even help me! You clearly agreed to deal with that little bitch! Now I have to bear all the blame! And you're still hiding from me!"
"Shh. Keep your voice down." Lu Jianrong quickly comforted him and looked at the door, afraid that someone would see him and Luo Yan together.
He pulled Luo Yan to a corner and said, "I'm not trying to avoid you. This is for your own good. Think about it. You haven't finished your self-criticism yet. If I stay with you, others will think you don't take it seriously. You have to write it carefully and avoid contact with others for a few days. Pretend to be truly repentant. Then everything will be over..."
Luo Yan felt that there was something wrong with this, but she had always liked Lu Jianrong and believed everything he said. She frowned and asked, "Really?"
"Of course, would I lie to you?" Lu Jianrong thought for a moment, realizing he had to give up something. "My family sent me some food coupons and money. Shall we go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner tonight?"
"Aren't you afraid of being seen with me?"
"They're not going to the county town. We'll come back after we finish eating. If we're seen, we can just say we met on the road."
Luo Yan nodded: "Okay, I have to go to the meeting tomorrow to read the confession book, and I want to eat braised pork later!"
In order to set an example as role models at the educated youth site, the two of them ate very little oil in their meals. They only ate meat occasionally when they went to a state-owned restaurant, and they had to do this behind the backs of their acquaintances.
Lu Jianrong: “No problem!”
There were no buses at this time, but Lu Jianrong had his own bicycle. In the entire educated youth site, only Lu Jianrong and Song Zhiguo had bicycles, which was really impressive.
Usually, he seldom rode a bicycle in order to show that he had worked hard in the countryside like other educated youth. Sometimes, even when he went to the county town, he would choose to ride the team's ox cart.
In the eyes of others, they are educated youth who are determined and hardworking.
When Luo Yan saw that he was about to ride a bike, the remaining unhappiness in her heart disappeared completely. She changed into a skirt and sat sideways on the back seat of the bicycle.
......
The two rode halfway and ended up in the hospital.
As soon as the news spread among the educated youth, the two were taken back by Song Zhiguo.
Su Yuhe stood by and watched. It was really exciting. Lu Jianrong had a broken hand, with white gauze wrapped around his neck, and half of his face was swollen.
Luo Yan's entire face was swollen like a pig's head. Her eyes, which were not big to begin with, were squeezed into slits, and her mouth was like a sausage.
Scary and funny.
The people in the educated youth group were used to saving face. Although they had previously distanced themselves from Luo Yan, they now all became concerned: "What's going on?"
"I...um~ah#$see% hello*#>)" Luo Yan said a lot of gibberish, but only a few words could be understood.
Song Zhiguo interrupted her: "Stop talking, Lu Zhiqing, go ahead."
Lu Jianrong's hand had just been reattached and was still in pain. He was very upset: "I was going to the county supply and marketing cooperative. Luo Zhiqing was going too, so I took her with me. On the way, we met some hooligans who smashed my car and stole my food coupons and money. I resisted, but they were too many, so this is what happened."
He simplified a lot of humiliating things.
"Then why is Luo Zhiqing's face so strangely swollen? Was he beaten too?"
"No," Lu Jianrong glanced at Luo Yan and then looked away. This was too ugly. He looked at Song Zhiguo, "Those hooligans pushed her into the bushes. Who knew there were wasps in there? They stung her..."
Song Zhiguo: "I knew there were so many unruly people in the village, but I didn't expect someone would dare to rob me in broad daylight! No, this matter must be reported to the police! Did you see what those people looked like?"
Song Zhiguo and other educated youth did not think anything else and thought they were here to rob, after all, Lu Jianrong said that their money and food coupons were taken away.
Lu Jianrong thought so too, but when Song Zhiguo asked him if he saw it clearly, he was speechless and shook his head: "I couldn't see it. I rushed out and put a sack on me."
The scene was silent. I couldn't see what the person looked like, and calling the police was useless. I could only swallow this loss myself.
Su Yuhe was cheering in her heart and wanted to applaud. Which hero had made the move?
If she knew who it was, Su Yuhe would like to treat him to white flour buns, no, white bread, the kind with meat filling!
Xu Zhiqing called out Su Yuhe.
Su Yuhe looked over in confusion, and Xu Zhiqing said, "Luo Zhiqing is already like this, so why not make a public self-criticism tomorrow?"
He is indeed Luo Yan's lackey. Now he starts to feel sorry for her?
Luo Yan nodded and looked at Su Yuhe.
Xu Zhiqing felt distressed, but Su Yuhe didn't. The other educated youths looked over. Su Yuhe looked at Luo Yan's red and swollen face and didn't give in. "Luo Zhiqing looks a little ugly now, but if you look closely, it's not serious. The swelling will go down tomorrow, and at least she'll have no problem speaking. The meeting doesn't take place every day. If you miss tomorrow, you'll have to wait seven or eight days! What excuse will you have next time? If you're still not speechless, you have to admit your mistake!"
Su Yuhe left after she finished speaking, as if there was no room for negotiation.
Everything has been almost clarified, and the educated youth can do what they should do.
Lu Jianrong and Luo Yan were completely exhausted. They endured the pain and lay back on the kang.
The next day, Lu Jianrong and Luo Yan both woke up hungry. They remembered that they were robbed on their way to eat yesterday and had not eaten since then.
Luo Yan felt so miserable, and all this was Su Yuhe's fault!
Thinking of Su Yuhe's smiling face, Luo Yan wanted to scratch it to pieces, just to see how she would seduce men in the future!
As Su Yuhe said, Luo Yan's mouth had indeed recovered a lot after a night. She could not speak normally but she could still understand.
There is no way to escape this review.
The meeting was held in the open space in front of the commune. First, the production team leader Jiang Dali spoke about some labor arrangements and mobilized people to actively engage in production labor.
Then Song Zhiguo came up to speak on behalf of the educated youth unit. Just when the members thought the speech was almost over, Song Zhiguo changed the subject: "A while ago, one of the educated youths in our unit made a small mistake. In order to reflect on her mistakes, she wrote a 3,000-word letter of apology. She will read it in front of the villagers later..."
