However, because of Bai Ruozhen's words, Zhao Lai Di really became much more obedient. She no longer said any sour words along the way, and at dinner time she even ate her sweet potatoes obediently.
Bai Ruozhen was very satisfied with the result, but she always felt that Zhao Laidie would not give up so easily.
But until the train arrived at the station late at night, Zhao Lai Di did not cause any more trouble.
It was already late at night and Bai Ruozhen was very sleepy. The other educated youth got off the bus one after another along the way. The remaining eight people were the educated youth who were going to work in the countryside in Yancheng.
After getting off the car, Bai Ruozhen saw the vast expanse of white snow, and in the bright white she also saw snowflakes falling down.
Not many people were getting off the train at the station late at night. Li Ming and two other male educated youth helped her carry her luggage down and looked at her and said, "You've never seen such heavy snow, have you?"
Bai Ruozhen's sleepiness dissipated a lot when a cold wind blew. She smiled and shook her head, "I haven't seen it." She raised her head and a few snowflakes fell on her face, feeling cold.
She couldn't help but think of the time in the Great Zhou Dynasty, when they could eat venison whenever it snowed. Usually, she liked to gather with a few sisters in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, enjoying the snow scenery, eating venison, and drinking a glass of fruit wine. It was so comfortable.
Or maybe her mother didn't let her go out, then she could sit on the kang all day, eating melon seeds and cakes, drinking Longjing tea from West Lake, and reading a storybook, as comfortable as she could be.
But now she is no longer the high and mighty queen, she has become an ordinary worker's daughter, and now she has come to the countryside to receive reform from people who are poorer than her.
She sighed. Why did she suddenly go to the countryside? All she could think about was the desire to leave that home. She completely forgot that she was a queen who had never done housework.
A phoenix that has fallen to the ground is no better than a chicken.
The chickens still have a roost to sleep in at this time, but she still has to stand in the snow wrapped in a cotton jacket and endure the cold.
"What are you thinking about?" Feng Qiujuan and Zhu Guixia huffed and puffed as they unloaded their luggage and stood beside her, breathing heavily. "It's really cold."
Yes, it’s really cold. Bai Ruozhen smiled and said, “I was thinking, it would be nice to have a roasted sweet potato. It would be so delicious when it’s hot.”
Zhao Lai Di's face turned dark immediately.
You are so mean! You even dare to mention sweet potatoes. I’ll give you a sweet potato and choke you to death.
In fact, Bai Ruozhen really didn't think about Zhao Lai Di, but he didn't expect that his words would offend Zhao Lai Di again.
Feng Qiujuan was happy. "Let's go. We can't eat sweet potatoes anymore. We need to find a place to live."
Li Ming called out to them from the front, "Hurry up, you ladies."
Bai Ruozhen, Feng Qiujuan and Zhu Guixia smiled at each other and quickly picked up their things to chase after them.
Bai Ruozhen was carrying only her schoolbag and a thick, heavy blanket on her back. Zhao Lai Di looked at her and curled her lips, saying sarcastically, "Bai Ruozhen, you're so lucky. Three men are helping you carry your luggage."
"You think so too." Bai Ruozhen took a moment to glance at her and said with a smile, "I also think I'm pretty lucky. If you try to get closer to me in the future, maybe you can get some good luck too."
Zhao Lai Di choked and almost twitched her eyelids. How could a girl who looked easy to bully be so shameless and even try to get close to her? It would have been better to stay away from her.
Five women and three men stood in the dilapidated and empty train station in Yancheng. Zhu Guixia asked, "Captain, what should we do tonight? We can't stay at the train station all night, can we?"
Li Ming was also worried. Not to mention the female educated youth, even the male educated youth couldn't stand it.
Several people stood trembling in the hall. Li Ming asked Huang Weimin, who had relatives in Yancheng, "Didn't you say your relatives were in Yancheng? Why didn't they come to pick you up?"
Huang Weimin blushed, "They also live in the village. How can we pick them up in the middle of the night?"
Li Ming looked at them awkwardly and said, "How about we just stay here for one night?"
"No, it's too cold." Before anyone else could protest, Zhu Guixia came out, "It's only twelve o'clock now. We have to wait until dawn at least six or seven. And shouldn't the local people who are going to the countryside come to pick us up? But just because we got off the train in the middle of the night, no one came to pick us up. That's too unreasonable."
Feng Qiujuan quickly pulled her sleeve to stop her when she heard her say that, but Zhu Guixia was always straightforward and continued to complain, "And the educated youth office here, they have to come pick us up and give us a place to stay for the night. There's no one around now."
Bai Ruozhen didn't understand all this. She threw the quilt on the ground, stamped her feet and looked around the station. It was much more shabby than theirs. There was not even a single person in sight in the middle of the night.
As soon as she finished her thought, she felt a gust of wind blowing. Bai Ruozhen looked up and saw that the door curtain at the exit was lifted. Two people wearing large cotton-padded jackets that were so torn that their original appearance could not be recognized walked in. Then he looked at them searchingly.
"Sister Xia, look, someone is coming." Bai Ruozhen hurriedly notified Zhu Guixia. Although there were seven or eight people here, she trusted Zhu Guixia more. Zhu Guixia could give her a strange sense of security.
As if what she said on the train was really confirmed, Zhu Guixia looked towards the door and pulled Bai Ruozhen behind her.
Then Bai Ruozhen was blocked completely.
Bai Ruozhen: “…”
But Bai Ruozhen was curious. She was curious about everything in this world. She finally emerged from behind Zhu Guixia and saw the two beggar-like figures approaching. They were wearing hats and thick scarves around their necks. It was difficult to make out their faces without looking closely. When the two men came up, one of them raised his chin and asked, "Which ones are going to the Red Flag Commune?"
