Chapter 98 A small tree will not grow straight unless it is cultivated
The destination of this tour was a famous historical attraction located in the suburbs of the capital. When the group leisurely arrived at the location, they saw that it was surrounded by mountains. As soon as they got off the car, they could see the long city walls in the distance.
"Climb the Great Wall? Are you crazy? You sat for so long in the morning and ran so far, just to climb this thing?"
Tang Xiaoyu was stunned as soon as she got off the bus. Although she often came to the capital for study and entertainment, she had never climbed the Great Wall before, let alone climbed it by herself. Seeing several students running to the ticket office to buy tickets, Tang Xiaoyu stood aside with her arms folded and refused to cooperate.
Class monitor Li Yuehong, who came to collect student ID cards and identity cards to buy tickets, was very embarrassed by her attitude.
Wang Nan came over to persuade him, "Student Tang, everyone is going to climb the mountain soon, but you are not going. You will have to wait here for a long time!"
"I don't want to. Don't even think about making me do something stupid with you guys. Whoever you want to go can go. I want to go back to the car and rest!"
But when Tang Xiaoyu turned around, she was dumbfounded. Where was the bus that was not far away just now?
"Where's the car? It was there just now? Where did you park it?"
Wang Nan saw that she was stunned, so he came up and pulled her back. "We will climb the mountain from the other side. The driver is waiting over there. If you want to go back to the car to rest, it's quite far to go around."
Tang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and shook off Wang Nan's hand, "You did it on purpose. Did Fang Qing ask you to do this? She just can't stand seeing me getting better! I'll go find her!"
Li Yuehong couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Tang Xiaoyu. "My classmate, although you are not from our class, since you are participating in this activity, you might as well come with us. Besides, there are wild mountains and wilderness around here. If you are a girl, no one will be able to find you if you get lost."
Tang Xiaoyu was impatient at first, but the slightly cold morning breeze gave her goose bumps, and the oppressive feeling of the surrounding valleys forced her to consider what the two people said.
If they all left, I would be the only one left...
Seeing that Li Yuehong was getting impatient and turned around to gather at the entrance with everyone, and Fang Qing was nowhere to be seen, Tang Xiaoyu became anxious, "I know, you just want to throw me in this godforsaken place and live happily! You want to get rid of me? No way!"
He stomped his feet, caught up with the others in a few steps, and quickly pulled out his ID card, "Buy me a ticket, too!"
Li Yuehong took a look at the ID card and thought to herself, this girl is only one year younger than me, why is she so delicate? She quickly took the ID card away and went to buy the ticket immediately.
Tang Xiaoyu chased after Fang Qing and said, "Fang Qing, you did it on purpose, didn't you? You came all the way here to play, and you deliberately didn't tell me yesterday, making me think that Brother Ning would come too. You woman, how could you be so vicious!"
Fang Qing was just helping to distribute breakfast and didn't notice the noise here. When he saw Tang Xiaoyu coming over with her hands on her hips and starting to make trouble again, he ignored her and said, "It was you who wanted to follow me. Don't blame everything on others."
After saying that, he put on his backpack and prepared to enter the scenic area gate with everyone.
Tang Xiaoyu, who was standing by, was frustrated and wanted to continue shouting, but Wang Nan and the others carried her into the team. “Hey, hey, hey, the people around here are watching you. You’re going to be on stage in the future, so pay attention to your image.”
This successfully shut Tang Xiaoyu up. Her instructor often warned her to pay attention to her image and that dancers should remain elegant and dignified even when not on stage.
But as soon as she met Fang Qing, she couldn't suppress the resentment in her heart.
She took a few deep breaths and finally calmed herself down, "Okay, I got it." Then she shook off the people on both sides, straightened her clothes, and stood gracefully in the line like a proud peacock.
The students next to her stepped back a little when they saw her like this. After all, no one wanted to get too close to someone who looked so arrogant.
Today is the weekend and there are many people coming to climb the Great Wall. They squeezed together with many other teams and slowly entered the gate.
But because there were so many people, the first section of the Great Wall was almost crowded. Tang Xiaoyu was still holding her temper at first, but soon she lost her patience due to the crowd.
"Ouch, stop pushing! You're stepping on my feet!"
But everyone turned a deaf ear to her words and continued pushing forward until they had walked some distance and the crowd finally dispersed.
At this time, Tang Xiaoyu was also squeezed to the point of losing her temper, and leaned against the city wall to breathe fresh air.
"Finally I can breathe..."
The group climbed over one beacon tower after another, took a group photo at a stone tablet, walked for more than an hour, and finally got down the mountain at the other end.
When she got back to the car, Tang Xiaoyu was too tired to curse anymore. She found her seat and drank half a bottle of water. Only then did she feel alive again. Then she collapsed in her seat and closed her eyes to rest.
At noon, the car pulled into a farmhouse and an auntie warmly welcomed them.
A variety of vegetables are planted in the old-fashioned yard, and chickens, ducks and geese are wandering around.
Tang Xiaoyu covered her nose as she got out of the car. She stepped on a pool of chicken manure. Her face immediately turned pale. She shook her feet in disgust and rubbed them on the ground for a long time before she got the stuff off the sole of her shoes.
"Can't you find a nice place to eat? Why do you have to come here?"
Tang Xiaoyu's complaint was heard by the boss, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little uncomfortable. If the squad leader and others had not readily ordered the dishes and paid, and praised the beautiful scenery here, the boss might have quit on the spot.
Fang Qing looked at Tang Xiaoyu and was about to step forward to persuade her, but was stopped by Wang Nan, "She already has a grudge against you, and she will never listen to what you say. Just stay away from her, and leave the rest to us." After saying that, he gave Zhang Jiaqi a look, and the two of them walked up to Tang Xiaoyu and brought her into the house.
I don't know how they persuaded them, but by the time everyone came into the house and sat down, Tang Xiaoyu had already calmed down and even made tea for everyone very elegantly.
Everyone was surprised at her change, but didn't say anything. As long as she stopped making trouble and ruining everyone's mood for fun, that would be enough.
The food was served quickly. Although the dishes were not as exquisite and beautiful as those in restaurants, they were large in quantity, affordable and full of fragrance.
Tang Xiaoyu, who had been sitting aside with her arms folded and saying that she was not hungry, watched everyone wolfing down their food and her stomach growled.
Just as she was gritting her teeth and insisting, the boss actually brought out another serving of freshly grilled lamb chops. Looking at the sizzling oil on the golden and crispy crust, Tang Xiaoyu swallowed her saliva.
Thinking that there were still several hours left in the afternoon, he stood up and squeezed in, dragging his stool.
"Give me some space. I want to eat."
Li Yuehong on the side suppressed her laughter and glanced at her, "Didn't you dislike this being in the countryside and not want to eat? How did you come to your senses again?"
Tang Xiaoyu ignored her, picked up a portion of rice and started picking up vegetables. After taking a few big bites and filling her mouth with the aroma of rice and vegetables, Tang Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, it smells so good!"
