Chapter 56: Ugly
Chen Miaomiao wanted to explode, but Yang Xiaojing's words made her subconsciously look at other people's expressions.
When she really saw the calmness in Gu Ying and Geng Xiaoyun's eyes, Chen Miaomiao seemed to suddenly realize how ugly she was at that moment...
Or perhaps, I realized how ugly I was every time I was being too clever!
They know...!
They knew it all along!
He clearly saw through all her calculations, but pretended not to know. On the surface, he cared about her, but in fact, he was playing her in the palm of his hand and laughing at her in secret!
Tears of humiliation and shame welled up in Chen Miaomiao's eyes, and her lips trembled uncontrollably. The anger and resentment in her chest had accumulated to a peak.
Now that you have lost all your dignity, there is nothing left to worry about.
Her eyes were red and fierce, and she rushed towards Yang Xiaojing without caring about anything. "Fuck you, you are the cousin! You stinky cousin!"
Chen Miaomiao's voice was so loud and sharp that it startled the chickens that were hiding from the rain and looking for food in the bamboo forest, causing them to flap their wings and run around in panic.
The members of the Poshang commune thought that their chickens had encountered a weasel, so they all came out of their homes to check what was going on. However, they didn't see any weasels, but they saw a few female educated youth who were entangled and fighting with each other.
Neither Gu Ying nor Geng Xiaoyun wanted to start the fight. Several young sisters-in-law sighed and hurriedly stepped on the mud to try to break up the fight:
"Quick, quick, stop fighting, educated youth comrade, let's talk it out..."
The fight between Chen Miaomiao and Yang Xiaojing was quite noisy. When Lu Miao heard about it, he had already gone to the team to make a scene.
After Geng Xiaoyun finished her explanation, she sat at the table, drank some water, and took a breath.
Ren Bingxin sighed and looked towards the other end of the table, "Miaomiao..."
"what?"
Lu Miao's mood had calmed down, and he was sitting at the table drinking tea with green apricots.
The milk powder he brought with him had been finished long ago. Lu Miao cleaned the empty bottle, filled it with boiled water, and drank it together with crushed green apricots and Cuban sugar.
The sourness of the water and green apricots overwhelmed the slight bitterness of the Cuban sugar. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but my throat had been uncomfortable before, and it was especially obvious after I ate spicy food at Fu Jingyou’s place this morning. After drinking the sour and sweet green apricot water, I suddenly felt a lot better.
"She was fighting with Yang Xiaojing, not with me. Why are you calling me?"
Speaking of Chen Miaomiao, Lu Miao never wanted to have anything to do with her, especially after listening to the explanation and knowing Chen Miaomiao's angry "map cannon" and the words she cursed without restraint, Lu Miao looked down on Chen Miaomiao even more.
Quality and cultivation are good things, but unfortunately Chen Miaomiao has neither.
Lu Miao said disdainfully: "She and I are not the same type of people. Don't mention her in front of me in the future. It's annoying."
After taking two sips of water, Lu Miao screwed the bottle cap back on and looked at Ren Bingxin, then started to act coquettishly again:
"Ren Bingxin, Chen Miaomiao still owes me a soap ticket. I don't want to bother with her. Can you help me get it back? When you get it back, I'll treat you to some sweet and sour candied green apricot water!"
"I'll get it for you, no problem. But let's forget about this Qingxing!"
Ren Bingxin tactically retreated and suffered the loss of sour green apricots. She didn't believe that green apricots soaked in water could taste good.
Lu Miao pretended to be unhappy, "You don't know how to appreciate my kindness, do you? Don't regret it later!"
"Never mind, I'll just give it a try! What if it tastes good? Hehe~"
Ren Bingxin was laughing and making a fuss with Lu Miao again.
Geng Xiaoyun looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing, but it didn't last for two seconds, and she rubbed her forehead worriedly.
Lu Miao's personality is a bit delicate, but he is actually easy to get along with. Geng Xiaoyun feels that Lu Miao is the most lively, free-spirited, energetic and vigorous one among all people.
Life in the countryside is different from that in the city. The physical hardship, spiritual deprivation and other pressures accumulated together can easily make people numb.
In this situation, Geng Xiaoyun was willing to watch Lu Miao act coquettishly, because at least it was interesting and life didn't seem so hopeless.
The environment can influence people, and the people around them can also motivate them. They are influenced by the environment and inspired by Lu Miao's vitality. It may sound exaggerated, but it is true.
But as likable as Lu Miao was, Geng Xiaoyun felt that Chen Miaomiao was as difficult to deal with.
Especially when she thought about Chen Miaomiao, Yang Xiaojing, and Gu Ying all being with the production team leader, Geng Xiaoyun felt anxious...
It started raining again and it was two hours later when Gu Ying came back.
She came back alone. She had fallen in the mud and got caught in the rain. She looked extremely miserable.
There was still warm water in the pot at the back of the kitchen. Gu Ying went into the house to change clothes. Lu Miao and the others went to the kitchen to heat up the water again. They waited until Gu Ying came out after washing and changing into clean clothes before asking about the outcome.
"What did the captain say?"
"Chen Miaomiao started a fight, so her work points were cut in half and she was forced to work in the farthest mountain area for half a month."
Gu Ying wiped her hair with a towel, took a breath and continued:
"Xiao Jing, as an educated youth, failed to maintain a sense of collective solidarity and was sentenced to half a month in the cowshed..."
"No..." Ren Bingxin sighed. "Punishment is fine, but what do you mean by ignoring collective unity? Wasn't it Chen Miaomiao who started the trouble?"
Gu Ying held the cup in silence.
She had said all these to the captain, and the captain had made it clear.
This was the first time that the female educated youth had a physical conflict, and this punishment was meant to serve as an example to her.
The captain needs to establish his authority, and Gu Ying cannot interfere with his decision, but she feels guilty about Yang Xiaojing being punished.
Because Yang Xiaojing was trying to help her...
Lu Miao was not quite sure what being sent to the bullpen meant, so Ren Bingxin explained to her:
"It's just living in a cowshed..."
Lu Miao said "Oh" and roughly understood that Yang Xiaojing's punishment was no less severe than Chen Miaomiao's.
Gu Ying was in a trance, and Lu Miao comforted her softly:
"Okay, Gu Ying, the results are out, there's nothing we can do. If you're really worried, we can secretly help you later."
Although I don't like Yang Xiaojing very much, judging by the facts, Yang Xiaojing's standing up this time is indeed worthy of respect.
"Um."
Gu Ying forced a smile, thinking that this was the only way.
Yang Xiaojing lived in a cowshed and could not make it to the mealtimes at the educated youth camp. She would usually leave her rations with Gu Ying in advance. Whoever was responsible for cooking that day would help Gu Ying hand over the rations and come back to eat after she was done.
Sometimes when Gu Ying and her friends are free, they will send it to her.
Lu Miao did not participate in cooking because she was afraid of the big black cow in the cowshed, and she did not get involved in delivering meals. However, every time someone delivered meals to Yang Xiaojing, she would always casually slip something in.
Sometimes it's Cuban candy, sometimes it's peach crisp...
This time, it was Gu Ying who brought the meal. Lu Miao had almost finished his snacks, so he stuffed two pieces of egg cake into her mouth.
Egg cakes are not cheap, and are made by mixing eggs and flour. In traditional concepts, they are considered very precious and nourishing.
Gu Ying's eyes moistened, she was very moved, "Thank you, Lu Miao!"
