"What's with that look on your face? I haven't said anything to you yet. We are all educated youth. Shouldn't we be united? You isolated me and left me alone. Are you secretly discussing something and deliberately not telling me?" Wu Lian turned her attention to the other educated youth.
He Wenting and the others were speechless after hearing this, and no one wanted to talk to her.
When Wu Lian saw they didn't answer, she assumed she'd guessed correctly that they were feeling guilty. "Your xenophobia is unacceptable," she said arrogantly. "You should learn from me and raise your awareness."
He Wanting rolled her eyes upon hearing this and said coldly, "Wu Zhaodi, you feel uncomfortable if you don't act like a bitch for a day, right? I told you we wanted Xuemei to bring us some things, and it's wrong for us to come get them now. I think there's something wrong with your ideological awareness, you need to be taught a lesson."
Wu Lian's real name was Wu Zhaodi, but she changed her name when she went to the countryside.
"No, then no. Why are you so loud? Don't disturb the village chief and the others from sleeping. Also, I've told you many times that my name is Wu Lian now. Wait..." Wu Lian approached He Wenting and the other two sisters, sniffed them, and continued:
"He Wenting, you said you didn't have any ghosts, but you both smell like meat. The village chief invited the educated youth to eat meat, so why didn't you call me? No wonder you two sisters only had steamed dry rice today."
Xuemei was immediately impressed by Wu Lian's thinking. Did she think meat was cabbage? Xuemei didn't even have any at home, yet she invited them to eat.
"Wu Lian, are you mentally ill? Why would the village chief treat us to meat? You are so bold. Do you think it's a pie in the sky? You just dream every day. We have pooled our money to buy meat tickets, so I want Xuemei to bring me some meat buns today." He Wenting said quickly.
"Then why did you and He Jing bring the meal here to eat, and just eat it dry?" Wu Lian asked suspiciously.
"We want to eat meat buns early, but we can't. What's it to you whether we eat dry rice or not? If you have the ability, you can eat dry rice every day. Will my sister and I say a word to you? You are such a gossip, so nosy." He Wenting said impatiently.
He Jing also whispered, "Mind your own business."
"Then where are the things you wanted Liu Xuemei to take? And you said you didn't lie to me." Wu Lian said without giving up.
"Xuemei, please bring us the things you bought for us. Wu Zhaodi will not give up until she reaches the Yellow River. Wu Zhaodi, keep your dog eyes open and watch us. Don't get jealous when we buy food." He Wanting looked at Xuemei and said.
Xuemei went to her room and took out the backpack and the notebook from yesterday. Then she said, "Zhou Zhiqing, this is yours. Here are the remaining money and tickets. The price of each item and the amount spent are all written down here. Take a look."
"Comrade Liu Xuemei, don't look anymore. I believe you. You also bought malted milk for me. Thank you very much." Zhou Bing said gratefully.
"It's okay, only three or two, not much."
"That's great. Malted milk is hard to buy in the city. Thank you so much this time," said Zhou Bing.
"Wow...you bought so many things right away after getting my money." Wu Lian said sarcastically.
Zhou Bing's face darkened immediately upon hearing this. He turned around and glared at Wu Lian, saying, "Wu Zhiqing, the two yuan you paid can't even buy a pound of White Rabbit candy. Do you think your two yuan can buy my life? I'm telling you, if I hadn't seen you were a woman, I would have beaten you up on the spot yesterday. Don't try to be ungrateful. Be careful around me from now on. Get out of here! I don't want to see you now."
Wu Lian was frightened by the huge mountain in front of her. As soon as Zhou Bing spoke, she forgot the purpose of her visit and ran away.
"Zhou Zhiqing, you have to be like this. This Wu Zhaodi is just a weakling with a strong exterior. She is not merciful at all. If she continues to stay here, I don't know what trouble she will make." He Wenting praised with a thumbs up.
Zhou Bing scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "This Wu Zhiqing is so irritating. I couldn't help it. Didn't I scare you female comrades?"
He Jing shook her head. Xuemei cleared her throat and said, "It's okay, Zhou Zhiqing. I'll continue then."
After Xuemei had distributed all the things, Han Chen and the others prepared to leave together. Xuemei followed Han Chen to the back and planned to close the gate.
When they were a few steps away from the door, Han Chen suddenly whispered to Xuemei, "Comrade Liu Xuemei, could you please stretch out your hands?"
Xuemei was confused, but she still stretched out her palm as he asked. Then three White Rabbit candies were placed on her hand.
"Han Zhiqing, what are you doing?" Xuemei asked in a puzzled voice.
"The braised pork you made today is delicious. Thank you for your hard work. The candy is a thank you." Han Chen said embarrassedly.
Han Chen left before Xuemei could react. Xuemei looked at the candy in her hand and felt a mixture of emotions. Finally, she smiled. She thought, "Who cares what he means? If I don't eat the candy that's given to me for free, I'll just eat it."
