Gu Changqing squinted at her, then shook his chin at Xu Dahe and said, "Let's go."
Forget it. Who would be willing to serve you in such a cold weather?
Bai Ruozhen pouted and said to Li Ming, "I can do it, don't worry."
Anyway, the other heavy bags have been taken by others, so it’s just a blanket, just hold on for a while.
The others couldn't carry it either, so they had no choice but to do this. As soon as they walked outside, Zhao Lai Di shouted to the front, "Fellow villager, can you help me with my luggage?"
Xu Dahe glanced back and then went to see Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing didn't even turn around, and it was clear from the look of her face that he had no intention of helping. Xu Dahe felt bad for the girls carrying so many bags in the cold weather, so he just walked past them. But when he saw that Zhao Lai Di had less luggage, he turned to ask Feng Qiujuan, who had more, "Comrade, how about I help you with it?"
Feng Qiujuan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you." Then she handed one of them to Xu Dahe.
Zhao Lai Di was immediately unhappy when the person she called over didn't help her get it. "Hey fellow villager, I called you over here, why didn't you help me get it but helped her? Is that how you do things?"
Xu Dahe paused, a little embarrassed, "I just saw that she has more things and you have less."
But who knew that these words hit Zhao Lai Di's heart. Why did she have so few things? Because her family was poor and she had many brothers and sisters. When she went to the countryside, her mother at least got her a quilt and a mattress, but they became hard and thin due to age. Not to mention other luggage, there was even less of that, so she could actually carry the quilt on her back and two half-empty bags in her hands.
But Zhao Lai Di didn't think this was a reason. She immediately threw her bag to the ground, squatted down and started crying. "Even you laugh at me. Why do you laugh at me? I'm from the city after all. Why do you, a country bumpkin, look down on me?"
"I, I don't look down on you." Xu Dahe was panicked. He had accepted the captain's task and went out with Gu Changqing to pick someone up, but now he made the female educated youth cry. How would he explain to his superiors later?
Especially at the station entrance, the north wind was blowing and snowflakes were floating in the sky. It was so cold, but this girl was really not afraid of the cold.
Gu Changqing in front heard what everyone said. He snorted and walked forward without stopping.
Bai Ruozhen hunched his shoulders and cursed Zhao Lai Di a thousand times in his heart. It was such a cold day. This woman was simply sick. She should be dragged out and beaten with twenty boards to see if she dared to do it again.
Zhao Lai Di cried, her tone firm and reassuring, "You all bullied me." Tian Xiao'e, who was with her, pulled her back, feeling that she was embarrassed, "Laidi, stop crying. It's cold. Let's go quickly. It's not like we can't get it."
"Don't give me that." Zhao Lai Di pushed Tian Xiao'e away and said angrily, "Even you are criticizing me. What right do you have to criticize me?"
"I..." Tian Xiao'e's face turned red and she stammered, unable to speak.
Zhao Lai Di got excited, snorted, and squatted down to continue scolding them for bullying her.
Bai Ruozhen rolled his eyes while it was dark and no one was watching, then said shiveringly, "Sister Lai Di, it's so cold, stop crying, let's go. When we get to a warmer place, you can find a place to cry, okay?" Don't drag us along when you cry, why should I accompany you here in the cold.
"I cry if I want to. What's it to you? Why do you care?" Zhao Lai Di attacked Bai Ruozhen fiercely without even raising her head.
Bai Ruozhen groaned, then said to Feng Qiujuan and Zhu Guixia, "Sister Xiaoqiu, Sister Xia, since Sister Lai Di isn't crying just for us to see, let's go quickly. My feet are frozen."
Zhu Guixia greeted with a gloating look, "Let's go, let's go." Then she walked forward.
After she left, Bai Ruozhen of course followed. The other male educated youth were also disgusted with Zhao Laidie and ran away.
Feng Qiujuan took her bag from Xu Dahe with a wry smile and said, "Thank you, I can carry it myself." Then she snatched the bag and hurriedly chased after the person in front.
Xu Dahe: “….” Who did he offend? He was so angry.
Actually, Gu Changqing, who was in front, wasn't walking very fast. He deliberately slowed down with a flashlight in his hand, and waited until the people behind him caught up before heading towards the guesthouse across the street. He also heard what Bai Ruozhen said and almost laughed out loud. This little girl was quite interesting.
Interestingly, Bai Ruozhen had a terrible impression of Gu Changqing. What kind of person was he? He relied on his long legs to walk so fast that she couldn't catch up with him even though she was carrying so many things. As the queen, she had never suffered such hardship. At that time, when she walked at night, she had to have ten or eight eunuchs holding lanterns in front to light the way, and ten or eight palace maids following behind to serve her tea and water for fear that she would fall.
Now, the queen is in poor health and has to wade through the snow to find a place to live even in the cold weather.
Yancheng doesn't look big. The guesthouse is just across the street from the train station. Gu Changqing put his hands behind his back and pushed the door open with his shoulder, and then the educated youth following behind him also filed in.
Gu Changqing stretched his head towards the counter and said, "Hey, auntie, someone is here. I'm bringing them in."
"Who are you calling 'Auntie', you bastard?" Qin Huizhen cursed at a young woman in her twenties who appeared from behind the counter. "If you keep yelling like that, I'll tear your mouth apart."
As he spoke, he glanced at a few people and said, "As expected of an educated youth from the provincial capital, she looks so fresh and beautiful."
Bai Ruozhen looked up and glanced at Qin Huizhen, his heart shuddering. Why did these words sound so much like the words of a brothel madam in a storybook?
However, according to the original owner's memory, she also knew that there were no brothels in this era, so it was even less likely that this woman would sell them openly. But because of Qin Huizhen's words, she looked at Qin Huizhen for a second time.
