After all, who would want to take a hot shower in the middle of summer?
After rinsing her mouth and washing her face in the backyard, Lin Xuanjiao returned to the house.
At first glance, this room seems very crowded, but there are quite a lot of things stored in it. For example, there is a wooden table next to Lin Xuanjiao's bed. The table is not big but not small either, it is a normal size, but it is placed in this crowded room.
Lin Xuanjiao walked to the small stool in front of the wooden table and sat down. Although there were no carved patterns on it, it was already pretty good at this time. What right did she have to complain about it?
Lin Xuanjiao sighed heavily. This was her fate and she had to endure it.
There was a mirror on the wooden table. It was not big enough to reflect Lin Xuanjiao's face. If she wanted to see more, she had to move her body backwards.
Lin Xuanjiao stared at herself in the mirror for a long time, and then sadly discovered that she seemed to have dark circles on her face. This was a huge blow.
Lin Xuanjiao was a little overwhelmed by this fact. She had clearly made up for her sleep afterwards, so why did she still have dark circles under her eyes that affected her beauty?
In fact, the dark circles are not very heavy. You have to look closely to see the faint blue color under the eyes, but for Lin Xuanjiao, who loves beauty very much, this is the beginning of ugliness.
It’s only the first day of living in the Youth House and she already has dark circles under her eyes. What will she do in the future? Thinking of the future, Lin Xuanjiao’s eyes darkened and she almost fainted.
If it can't be changed, then it can't be changed! This is all fate! It was God who arranged for her to be here. Maybe her good days are still to come! Lin Xuanjiao kept comforting herself in her heart. Anyway, it can't be changed, so it's better to just let it go and live one day at a time.
Anyway, she couldn't stay in Beijing for long before the college entrance examination began, otherwise she might end up like the Lin family in the original book.
But it was only 1970, and only half of the year had passed. There were still seven years before the college entrance examination was resumed.
Thinking of this number, Lin Xuanjiao threw herself onto the bed, hugging her pillow, her face full of grievance. That was seven years! Not one, two, or three years, but seven years!
There are only a few seven-year periods in a person's life. Lin Xuanjiao thought that she was only eighteen years old now, and she would be twenty-five in seven years. Fortunately, there was no age limit for the college entrance examination this time, otherwise Lin Xuanjiao didn't know how to return to Beijing.
Lin Xuanjiao thought about the days to come and felt a little desperate. For someone living in the Internet age, do you know how cruel it is for her to be thrown into the life of someone who doesn't even have a mobile phone?
Before, Lin Xuanjiao thought that if there were any idiots causing trouble for her, she would teach them a lesson and it wouldn't be too boring. But after teaching so many idiots a lesson yesterday, Lin Xuanjiao felt that teaching them a lesson too much would be insufficient.
After sighing for a while, Lin Xuanjiao got up and continued to dress herself. There was no other way, she still had her job. Although she was only responsible for taking the pig feed to the pigpen, she still had to make a trip in the morning.
This job was the most leisurely in the village, and Lin Xuanjiao knew it, so she was so grateful to Lin Xuanjiao for leaving her a way out.
Lin Xuanjiao tied her hair into two loose braids that hung down to her chest, and then rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, finally finding a straw hat with a bow tied on the brim with a white ribbon. It looked simple and elegant, very suitable for her to protect herself from the sun without looking ugly.
For the sake of her feet, Lin Xuanjiao did not wear the white leather shoes that matched her clothes, but a pair of soft-soled cloth shoes. Although it did not match the overall style, Lin Xuanjiao decided to ignore her image for the sake of her feet.
Carrying a small bag with white floral patterns, Lin Xuanjiao put a handful of sugar into it and prepared to go out. When she was about to reach the door, Lin Xuanjiao remembered that she had not put any face cream on her face yet, so she hurried to put it on.
Although there are few skin care products in this era, you have to use them if you have them, otherwise what’s the point of having them there?
But the texture is okay and it is absorbed easily with just a light touch. Lin Xuanjiao is actually a little curious why the vanishing cream that was popular in that era gradually faded away later!
After applying makeup on her face, Lin Xuanjiao finally left the Youth League Home.
Outside the Youth League Home, Lin Xuanjiao covered her eyes with her hands to block out some of the sunlight. Through the gaps, Lin Xuanjiao could see the sun hanging high in the sky. The weather was really too hot, and she didn't know if her skin, which had never been tanned since she was a child, would get darker.
As for wearing more clothes to block the sun's rays, Lin Xuanjiao had never even thought about it. In such a hot day, if she covered her whole body tightly, it would be better to let her get tanned. However, Lin Xuanjiao was very confident that she would still be a great beauty even if she got tanned.
Arriving at the place where she had traded with the children, Lin Xuanjiao rested in the shade of a large tree. Looking at the deserted place, Lin Xuanjiao was a little puzzled. Shouldn't these children have arrived long ago? Why was there no one here today? Could something have happened?
Thinking that those children were quite likable, Lin Xuanjiao couldn't help but stand up and wanted to go out to look for them. However, before she took a few steps, she heard the sound of children playing.
Hearing the laughter, Lin Xuanjiao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that nothing had happened. As long as nothing had happened, it was fine.
Lin Xuanjiao turned around and looked at the group of children, but she was talking to Erdan. There was nothing she could do because Erdan was the only child who acted familiar with her.
"Erdan, why are you guys so late today?"
Erdan looked at Lin Xuanjiao and saw that her face was excited at first, but then she seemed to remember something and her expression became a little timid, as if she was a little afraid of Lin Xuanjiao.
Lin Xuanjiao was a little confused. What happened? Why was the child afraid of her after not seeing her for just one day? Could it be that he knew something about her deeds and that was why he was so afraid of her?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuanjiao squatted down and waved to Erdan, "Erdan, come here quickly!"
Erdan was a little moved when he heard Lin Xuanjiao calling him, but he seemed to be worried about something and did not go forward.
Lin Xuanjiao saw his hesitation and decided to push him: "If you don't come back, Sister Lin will ignore you in the future."
Hearing this, Erdan, who was originally hesitant, immediately walked over. Although he was a little afraid of Lin Xuanjiao after hearing his parents' repeated warnings, this did not mean that he would distance himself from the beautiful and generous Sister Lin. Erdan did not like such a result.
Seeing Erdan coming over, Lin Xuanjiao smiled even more brightly. Her face seemed to be glowing under the sunlight, making Erdan feel a little dizzy when he saw it directly.
