The oil lamp was lit, and everyone hurriedly tore apart Ruan Xianxian, who had fallen from the hammock and was writhing on Wenrou's body.
After a night of turmoil, no one had the energy to speak. They could only offer a few words of comfort to the sobbing, gentle whimpering before going back to bed to rest.
The lights went out, and Wenrou felt pain all over her body, especially her face, as if she had been hit by an elbow.
She stared intently at the hammock above her head. The guy had innocently apologized and was now sleeping soundly, but she didn't dare to sleep, afraid that if she closed her eyes, Ruan Xianxian would fall down and hit her again.
Gentle, Liu Xiatian and her mother stared at each other, feeling as if they had just fallen asleep when a small hand slapped their faces hard.
"Wake up, wake up! What time is it? It's time to get up and go to work."
Frustrated, Liu Xiatian threw off the covers. It was still dark outside, but this guy had already washed up and dressed and was calling them to get up.
"Ruan Xianxian! You did this on purpose! You deliberately set up that hammock and let it fall down and hit someone! I'm going to tell the captain!"
"I really didn't mean to." Ruan Xianxian took a steamed bun and sat down at the table to take small bites.
Liu Xiatian rushed over and slapped her steamed bun away, her face contorted with malice as she said, "The team hates educated youth like you who deliberately sabotage unity the most!"
Believe it or not, I'll report you to the educated youth office and have you sent back to your hometown.
The steamed buns I bought near the station fell to the ground with a "thud." "Didn't you hear me?"
Ruan Xianxian looked at Baozi, then at Liu Xiatian's ferocious face that was spitting, and without thinking, rushed up and slapped him.
"Smack! That'll teach you to get my steamed bun dirty."
"Slap! Serves you right for spitting on me."
"Slap! I'll let you sue, I'll let you sue, go ahead and sue! Everyone else in the dorm is fine, only you are making trouble and even dirtied my steamed buns!"
Ruan Xianxian grabbed Liu Xiatian's hair and slapped her left and right, making her see stars and drool.
All the girls came over to pull her away, but even four or five of them couldn't move her. Finally, Wenrou asked Chu Li from next door to help and they managed to subdue her.
In the courtyard, Liu Xiatian's face looked as if she had been stung by a bee, and her mother held her daughter and wept bitterly.
As the work horn sounded, Mu Xia, who had been jogging back through the village, followed behind the team leader. The two of them were stunned when they entered the courtyard!
"Get out of the way! What's all this commotion so early in the morning? Do you all want to have your work points deducted?" Xiang Hongjun's face was dark.
Before the bugle sounded, he was summoned here to resolve a dispute before he even got out of bed; you can imagine how he felt.
After finding out what happened, he glared at Ruan Xianxian angrily, "Who gave you permission to sleep in the bedroom?"
"You!" Ruan Xianxian stared with innocent-looking eyes, completely oblivious to the fact that she had hit someone, and defended herself righteously:
“Yesterday I asked you if I could sleep higher up, and you said I could even sleep on the roof beam.”
Captain: ...
Liu Xiatian rushed over, pointed to her swollen face, and said in a muffled voice:
“Look how badly she beat me. If the village can’t give me a satisfactory explanation, I’m going to report it to the police.”
Upon hearing that the police had been notified, the captain's expressionless face instantly darkened, and he gently replied, "I believe Comrade Ruan did not do it intentionally."
But she keeps falling off the hammock, so we can't get any rest, can we?
Liu Xiatian glared angrily, "Wenrou! Whose side are you on anyway?"
Wenrou ignored her. This woman, who had lost her mind, kept talking about calling the police. It was related to the selection of an outstanding production team, so the brigade leader would never agree. It would be better to ask for something more practical.
The boy kept coming in and out, pretending to be busy, but his eyes were full of amusement.
Liu Xiatian sobbed, and when Ruan Xianxian saw that the situation was not good, she also cried. Her crying was earth-shattering, and snot bubbles came out of her nose.
The noisy brigade leader had a headache. "Enough!"
He glanced at the two men with impatience, then pointed at Ruan Xianxian: "You, from today onwards, sleep properly on the kang (heated brick bed). If you cause any more trouble, I'll send you to the farm."
"Really?" Ruan Xianxian stopped crying. "When will you send it? Is it okay now?"
Her grandmother lives on the farm, so it's good for her to take care of the elderly and then come back to clean up the leftovers when she has time.
Meeting her expectant gaze, which seemed to say, "Quickly! Send me to the farm now," Hongjun confirmed that the child was indeed sick.
Ignoring her, he then reprimanded Liu Xiatian, "You struck first, knocking away her steamed bun, but Comrade Ruan was also wrong to hit someone. Here are five eggs as compensation."
Seeing that the other party looked dissatisfied and wanted to speak, he angrily said to the Red Army: "That's it. If you're not satisfied with my handling of the matter, then go ahead and sue me. Sue me wherever you want."
"I'll be able to send you both off when I get back. Pingtou Village doesn't welcome troublemakers."
After saying that, he yelled for everyone to go to work, and then left without looking back.
With a resentful expression, Liu Xiatian rushed back into the house and burst into tears!
Ruan Xianxian spent one cent with the system to buy five rotten eggs to compensate the other party, stretching out her little hand: "Here are the eggs, pay me back for the steamed buns."
Seeing that Liu Xiatian wanted to speak, she stared straight at her, "If you don't compensate me, I'll hit you."
Liu Xiatian cried again, took a dime from her pocket and threw it on the kang (a heated brick bed). As for the dirty bun, Ruan Xianxian didn't throw it away, but fed it to the goose.
Everything was ready, and Mu Xia was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Today was the day to buy supplies for the new educated youth, and they had agreed to go to the city together.
No sooner had they been discharged from the hospital than Liu Xiatian grabbed Wenrou, who was getting ready to go to work, and demanded, "Why didn't you speak up for me just now?"
Why else? Of course, it's to let you charge into battle and take the hits! That's what she thought in her heart, but Wenrou said aloud:
"Comrade Ruan is just choosing her seats. Didn't she smash my things last night? We need to learn to overcome difficulties. I believe that after a while, she'll get used to it and stop causing trouble!"
"Will it take a while longer?" Liu Xiatian felt like exploding. She had had enough of this kind of life. No, she had to get Ruan Xianxian away no matter what. This educated youth settlement could only have her, not the other way around.
Having made up her mind, Liu Xiatian took the boiled egg from her mother and rolled it on her face as a warm compress. "Mom! I'll take you into town to buy a train ticket later, go ahead..."
Before she could finish speaking, her nose twitched. "What is that? It smells awful!"
Having found the source of the stench, she stubbornly peeled the egg open, only to exclaim, "Ugh!"
"Ruan Xianxian! I will never let you get away with this."
Achoo!
Ruan Xianxian, who was preparing to enter the city by the oxcart, sneezed. Mu Xia touched her forehead with concern, "Did you catch a cold from all the activity last night?"
"It's okay! I guess some people at the educated youth settlement are cursing me!" Ruan Xianxian chuckled as she thought about the rotten eggs she had given out. Mu Xia poked her forehead after hearing this.
"You! Just pick a bamboo shoot!"
Just then, Old Yu, the cart driver, arrived. He was about fifty years old and wearing a tattered coat. Accompanying him were three women from the village.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Mu Xia's large physique. One of them exclaimed, "My God! I've never seen such a strong girl in my life. How many meals does she have to feed?"
Li Dajiao's best friend, Ma Dazui, stood by the oxcart, rolling her eyes. "No matter how much it eats, won't pulling this cart kill the ox?"
Grandpa Yu patted the ox's head, and the ox gave him a pitiful look. Seeing this, Mu Xia got off the cart on her own initiative. "It's okay! I'll just walk along the side of the oxcart and consider it exercise."
Ruan Xianxian discovered that her personality was really good, unlike herself, who would beat up people and then bulls, and she didn't believe she couldn't be dragged into the city!
