Chapter 87 Jealousy
Ren Bingxin and Geng Xiaoyun also said they wanted to go. They were chatting animatedly, rubbing shoulders with each other, when Yang Xiaojing suddenly sat over and said:
"Since we have so much to buy, why don't we just go to Yanji? The variety of things there is much greater than here!"
Yanji Commune?
Lu Miao also remembered that she had heard a lot about Yanji Commune being more prosperous and wealthy than their place, but she had never had the chance to go and take a look. Yang Xiaojing's words instantly piqued her interest.
"I think it's okay, Gu Ying, why don't we go directly to Yanji tomorrow!"
Gu Ying hesitated and turned to look at Ren Bingxin and the others.
Ren Bingxin raised her hand: "I have no objection."
Geng Xiaoyun smiled: "I'm fine with either. Just make the decision based on what you think."
Gu Ying sighed, having basically made up her mind, but still explained a few words:
"We have to take a boat across the river to get to Yanji. The boat only goes four times a day, and it costs ten cents per person for a round trip. If you want to go, you'd better think carefully."
Lu Miao was the first to speak out: "I have no problem."
Ren Bingxin followed closely behind. Geng Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment. If she went, her brother who was with the male educated youth would definitely have to go too. A round trip for the two of them would cost 20 cents, and 20 cents could buy five eggs!
To be honest, Geng Xiaoyun felt a little bit painful, but when she thought about Lu Miao and the other girls going there without anyone reliable to accompany them, she felt uneasy.
Gritting his teeth, Geng Xiaoyun said, "I'll go too. Whether I buy anything or not is secondary. I've been exhausted lately, so it's nice to go take a look and just stroll around."
Yang Xiaojing smiled and nodded. "I thought so too. Even if I don't buy anything, I still have to go and have a look! What's the saying? Oh, it's called 'relaxing'. I've been exhausted lately, so I need to relax."
Gu Ying teased her, "Why, Nanhu Town is so big, isn't it enough for you to relax?"
"How can it be the same? These past two years, whenever I go out, it's Nanhu Town. Whenever I go out, it's Nanhu Town. I'm tired of it. Can't I find something new?"
Ren Bingxin laughed at her: "Oh, that's enough, Yang Xiaojing, now you know the word 'freshness'?"
Yang Xiaojing was not annoyed by the banter, but instead said jokingly:
"Yes, I didn't study well and my education level is not high, but I am surrounded by educated people. So I have to learn from you. I should follow your example, right?"
Lu Miao rolled his eyes at her arrogantly, "You're the best at talking."
Yang Xiaojing laughed heartily: "I wouldn't dare. No matter how good I am at speaking, I can't compare to you!"
Lu Miao stomped his feet, chased after Yang Xiaojing and twisted her waist several times.
The girls reached a consensus and started laughing. Geng Xiaoyun left the main room and found her younger brother Geng Junhao to tell him about their plans to go to Yanji Commune tomorrow.
Geng Junhao understood and quickly went back to tell the other male educated youth about this matter. Soon, the male educated youth also reached a consensus and were busy exchanging tickets one by one to prepare for their departure to Yanji tomorrow.
After dinner at night, Lu Miao was the first one to urge everyone to fetch water and wash up quickly, so as not to stay up too late and be unable to get up early the next morning.
Gu Ying stopped her in time: "Don't be so nervous. There are only two boats going to Yanji. One is at 5:30 in the morning. We are far away and we will definitely miss it. The second boat has to wait until 9:00 in the morning. We should leave at the same time tomorrow as last time."
After having breakfast in town, I went to the post office to mail a letter from home. If there was any package, I would come back in the afternoon to pick it up.
After hearing what Gu Ying said, Lu Miao was no longer in a hurry. He laughed softly and pulled Ren Bingxin to get some water back to the room. While chatting, they listed what things they needed to buy tomorrow.
Hearing that she had so many things, Ren Bingxin said, "We're going to Yanji tomorrow, not our own town. How are we going to carry all the things you bought?"
Lu Miao pouted, "If I can't get it, don't I still have you? If you can't get it either, don't I still have Geng Xiaoyun?"
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows, winked playfully, and touched Ren Bingxin's shoulder:
"As a thank you, I'll cover your round-trip tickets. Okay?"
Although it's not nice to ask for money for doing a small favor between friends, Ren Bingxin knows Lu Miao's personality. If she gives you money and you refuse to accept it, she will definitely be unhappy.
Lu Miao has this in mind, and taking it will improve her daily life a little. It is a win-win for both parties anyway. Instead of being hesitant and making both parties embarrassed and unhappy, it is better to be frank.
"Dry!"
Ren Bingxin uttered a word swiftly, grinning a little foolishly.
"Hmph." Lu Miao hummed softly, also curling her lips, "That's more like it."
Tomorrow is the opportunity to go out that he has been looking forward to for a long time. Lu Miao is so excited that he can't sleep. He finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, but he was woken up by Gu Ying after not sleeping for long.
Lu Miao rubbed her eyes sleepily. She was a little grumpy after waking up, but then she heard Ren Bingxin and the others mumbling beside her. She remembered that she had to go out today, and she came back to her senses in an instant. How could she be angry anymore?
He immediately jumped out of bed in a hurry and started washing up together.
Lu Miao went out at the agreed time. As soon as he left the room, he ran into Chen Miaomiao who came out of the opposite room in the main hall.
Lu Miao didn't care, he just looked away at once, shook the hat in his hand and thought about putting it on, but Chen Miaomiao opposite him had a cold face, and her round eyes scanned her up and down.
Lu Miao is the most outstanding in appearance. Even though it was hot during the busy farming season a while ago, she took extremely comprehensive physical sun protection measures. The girls in the team and the educated youth center had no idea how much sun exposure they had received, but she always kept her face fair.
As the saying goes, a white complexion can hide three kinds of ugliness, not to mention that she is naturally beautiful.
Chen Miaomiao said "yo" and said sarcastically:
"Who are you dressing up for?"
Lu Miao glanced at Chen Miaomiao and felt that there was something wrong with her.
Where did she dress up?
He wore a light blue jacket, black trousers and cloth shoes. This outfit was very common not only in the city but also in the countryside.
Not even bothering to pay attention to Chen Miaomiao, Lu Miao turned around slightly, fiddling with the hat in his hand while waiting for Ren Bingxin and the others to come out of the room.
Lu Miao didn't dress up deliberately, but that didn't stop Chen Miaomiao from thinking too much.
Chen Miaomiao thought she looked good in this outfit and was convinced that she had dressed up but refused to admit it.
Taking another look at Lu Miao's unique hairstyle today, Chen Miaomiao felt even more angry. "You said I was being undisciplined when I braided my hair, but I don't know who was being undisciplined."
Lu Miao paused, then turned to look directly at Chen Miaomiao.
The weather has been getting hotter recently. Lu Miao disliked the heavy and sweat-causing braid hanging down her back, so when she combed her hair this morning, she took a strand of hair from above her left earlobe and braided it all the way to the same level on her right earlobe.
The ends of her hair were hidden, and all her thick black long hair was tied up at the back of her head, leaving only a few soft and fine bangs naturally scattered on her forehead and temples. It was obvious that Lu Miao was neat and tidy, yet still feminine and agile.
But the more beautiful she was, the more jealous Chen Miaomiao became.
