The train slowly pulled into the station. Fan Yao, now known as Mo Xiaoqi, sorted out her thoughts, got off the train with her luggage, and went to a familiar place to wait for someone to pick her up.
She saw a familiar figure from afar. This time it was Gu Lang who picked her up again, but this time she would not be picky and would not leave a bad impression on others. She wanted to come here in a different way.
A voice as gentle as spring breeze came, "Hello, is this Mo Xiaoqi?"
Mo Xiaoqi spoke softly, giving people a soft and sticky feeling, making people want to protect her. "Yes, my name is Mo Xiaoqi, and I'm from Hongwu Brigade in Yuxi Village."
"My name is Gu Lang, and I'm here to pick you up." Gu Lang said politely. He didn't care what her voice sounded like or what she looked like. Obviously, her tricks had no effect on Gu Lang.
"Brother Gu, I have a lot of things. Is it convenient to carry them?" Last time, they were picked up by a bullock cart, but this time she was alone and didn't know if there was any.
Gu Lang said, "I knew you educated youths had a lot of stuff. Every time I pick you up, I have to use a bullock cart. Are you over there? Let's go over there."
Seeing that she was having trouble walking with all the stuff, Gu Lang helped her carry two large packages. "Brother Gu, thank you."
"You're welcome. We're all from the same village here, so helping is just a matter of convenience."
Gu Lang sent her to the brigade and left. Naturally, someone else arranged everything else. He also had to go home to see Xiaoxiao. I wonder what Xiaoxiao is doing today?
Fan Yao, who changed her name to Mo Xiaoqi, was still thinking about how to get closer to Gu Lang. Gu Lang left. To get close to Lu Wanwan, she must start with the people around her. She kept comforting herself, saying that it was okay, she had just arrived, and she would take it slowly in the future.
The village chief, Gu Changming, said this with a distant tone. He saw the way the girl looked at Gu Lang and would remind Gu Lang to be more careful in the future. "I am the village chief of Yuxi Village. Welcome to Yuxi Village."
"Hello, village chief, I'm Mo Xiaoqi."
"There are currently four male educated youth in our village. Originally there were six female educated youth, but one ran away due to some problems, leaving only five. I'll have someone take you to the educated youth dormitory soon. You should settle down first, and then you can come here to collect food."
Fan Yao then remembered that the educated youth had just arrived and were given food. "Okay, Village Chief, I understand."
Fan Yao came almost prepared this time. She disguised herself very well in front of everyone. Unexpectedly, the village chief discovered something was wrong with her as soon as she arrived.
Fan Yao came to the educated youth dormitory, put down his things and went to collect food. When everyone came back from work, they found that there was a beautiful girl in the room. They were still curious about why the girls who went to the countryside were all prettier than each other?
When Fan Yao saw someone coming in, she quickly greeted them. Her voice was sweet, making everyone think that this girl must be easy to get along with. Everyone introduced themselves, and the girls started chatting all at once. The atmosphere did not seem out of place.
Fan Yao was still wondering how she had offended all these people last time. She had obviously been able to fit in well, and they had also talked about Fan Yao. She had never expected that she was so unlikable. She looked okay on the surface, but when something went wrong, no one would speak up for her.
Everyone cooked together and asked Mo Xiaoqi whether she wanted to join them or cook on her own. Mo Xiaoqi chose to join them.
Thinking that she would be able to see Brother Zhijie during dinner later, she shed tears of excitement. Although she could not reveal her identity to him in public, she was already very excited to see him again. She did not expect that they would have the chance to meet again in this life. She thought she would have to live in hiding with her child.
When she was eating, she didn't see her brother Zhijie, and she couldn't help asking
"I heard the village chief say we are four male educated youth? Five female educated youth? Why are there only five of us having dinner now?"
Zhang Ya said, "Zhang Wei and Wang Ru eat with the villagers and don't eat with us. Lu Wanwan and Tang Xiaoxiao are married. Even if they weren't married, they would live on their own and wouldn't eat with us."
Zhao Jing continued, "Hao Zhijie and Hao Zhiqing got married a few days ago, so they moved out too. Now it's just the few of us eating here."
As soon as Zhao Jing finished speaking, Mo Xiaoqi couldn't help but shed tears. She had suffered so much grievance and hardship. The only thing she insisted on was Brother Zhijie and her hatred for Lu Wanwan, but they all got married. She had to find a chance to ask Brother Zhijie about this.
Zhang Ya asked curiously, "Why are you still crying? Although Hao Zhijie was reluctant when he got married, he's living well. The other two also married well."
Mo Xiaoqi made excuses for herself, and her eyes were red from crying, which made people feel distressed. "I didn't expect that there are so many people getting married in the countryside. Is it very hard? I'm crying because I'm scared."
Zhang Ya comforted her, "It's not as hard as you think. If you need any help, you can ask us for it. The villagers here are also very helpful. You can rest assured."
Others also responded and said they needed their help. Mo Xiaoqi smiled, but she was very sad in her heart. She didn't know why Brother Zhijie wanted to marry her since she was reluctant. She couldn't keep asking them. It seemed that she had to find Brother Zhijie as soon as possible to ask what was going on.
On the other side, the village chief has been thinking about this matter since he returned home. He didn't know how to bring it up, but he was afraid something might happen if he didn't say it. He always felt that Mo Xiaoqi was weird, and the way she looked at Gu Lang was as if she was staring at prey. Gu Lang had just gotten married, so there couldn't be any mistakes.
After thinking for a long time, he asked, "Gu Lang, what happened when you picked up that educated youth today?"
Gu Lang said calmly, the question was out of the blue. "No, it's still the same as usual."
Then he continued to ask, "Did you have any grudges before?"
"I don't even know her, how could there be any grudges between us? Dad, please don't overthink it and make Xiaoxiao worry."
"Alas, after you left today, that girl kept staring at you. There was no love in her eyes, only calculation, as if she were staring at her prey. Stay away from her from now on. I always feel that there is something wrong with this girl."
"I know, Dad. Don't worry."
"I don't know who that girl's target is. Protect Xiaoxiao. She's talking about two people now."
"We try to stay away from her as much as possible, and we go to work separately from her, trying not to give her the opportunity to get close to us."
In fact, although he said this, he understood in his heart that they would meet each other everywhere in this village. Gu Lang felt that his father was making a big deal out of nothing. What could a new girl do? He thought his father was scared by Fan Yao's situation, so he was timid. How many Fan Yaos can there be in the world?
Despite what he was thinking in his heart, he agreed verbally. Seeing that his father had been in deep thought all night and looked as if he was facing a great enemy, he didn't want to make his father worry.
Mo Xiaoqi wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Brother Zhijie as soon as possible and ask him out to find out the reason. She tossed and turned all night, not knowing whether it was because she was homesick and the past scenes kept replaying in her mind, and she couldn't sleep at all.
