It was already one in the afternoon when they arrived at the village. Fortunately, they had left early, so they still had some time. If they hurried, they could catch the last bus back to the provincial capital that afternoon.
It was busy farming season, so everyone headed straight for the fields in Huangcun. Villagers rarely saw outsiders, so they looked up and asked questions when they saw a few people arriving.
Zhang Xingrong took the opportunity to ask, "We are Yang Dalan's classmates. May I ask where Yang Dalan is?"
"You're talking about Yang Dalan!" The old lady pointed to the white fields that stretched for more than a mile in front of her and said, "Over there, at the very end, she's planting rice in the farthest field. You'll see her when you go over there!"
After hearing this, several people walked to the end of the road.
"Student Yang Dalan!" Gu Chao shouted at Yang Dalan from a distance.
He and Yang Zimo often had dinner with Tao Tongfei, and Tao Tongfei and Tao Yanyan liked to bring Yang Dalan with them, so they often had dinner together and became familiar with each other.
In the distant paddy fields, Yang Dalan was bending over to plant rice seedlings. When she heard a strange yet familiar voice calling her, she was stunned for a moment: "Why does it sound like classmate Gu Chao's voice? I must be hallucinating!"
As she spoke, she bent down, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She wanted to go back to school. She dreamed of becoming a doctor and working in a hospital. She also wanted her son to study hard so he could work, free from the toil of the fields. So she wanted to set an example. After news of the reinstatement of the college entrance exam spread, she studied like crazy. Sleeping only two hours a day, she eventually got accepted into the provincial medical school, but now she's been pulled back.
She really doesn't want to leave school!
But no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't go back now.
"What are you doing? Your hands are so clumsy, work faster!" Her mother-in-law, who had just returned from a stroll, scolded her. "You want to be lazy, and you want to go to the provincial capital to be lazy. Bah! I tell you, my son married you to work, not to be a patriarch!"
Yang Dalan didn't say anything and just worked silently.
"Student Yang Dalan!"
At this moment, Gu Chao's voice came clearly from the field. Yang Dalan heard it clearly, stood up suddenly, and saw several people standing in front of the field.
"You...why are you here? Am I dazzled?"
As she spoke, she raised her muddy hands and rubbed her eyes!
It would have been fine if I hadn't rubbed it, but after I rubbed it, my face was covered with mud and I couldn't even see!
The mother-in-law next to him looked at him and walked away with disgust: "Oh, how come our Danniu married such a fool? What a good-for-nothing!"
Zhang Xingrong hurriedly said, "Dalan, hurry up and wash with water. Do you have any water in your kettle? I have some!"
As she said this, she took off her shoes and prepared to go to the fields.
"I have some here too!" Gu Chao couldn't help laughing, "Yang Dalan, why are you so stupid!"
Yang Dalan wiped her eyes and shouted, "Don't come down, don't come down, I still have water!"
As she said this, she quickly poured some water to wash her eyes, and now she could finally see the group of people in front of her clearly.
Her eyes were moist: "Rong Ya, Yan Yan, Xiao Tong, class monitor, deputy class monitor, Gu Chao, and Zhu Hui, why are you here?"
"We're here to take you back!" Tao Tongfei laughed, "We all feel the dormitory is a lot quieter now that you're not here!"
Yang Dalan was usually carefree, enthusiastic, and didn't like to argue with others. Usually, the dormitory felt lively when she was around. But since she left, the whole dormitory felt deserted.
Hearing these words, Yang Dalan's eyes became moist: "I..."
