Bai Ruozhen was sound asleep when she was woken by the sound of knocks on the door. She opened her eyes, a little confused. "Xiao Li, what time is it?"
"Little Pear? Zhenzhen, do you want to eat pear?" Zhu Guixia also sat up from the bed and asked after hearing Bai Ruozhen's words.
"Ah." Bai Ruozhen woke up a little and suddenly remembered that this was no longer the palace, and her little follower Xiaoli was no longer serving her.
"Oh." Bai Ruozhen sighed and reached out to touch his cotton coat, but he refused to come out and put it on again.
Feng Qiujuan laughed and said, "Are you so afraid of the cold?"
Bai Ruozhen nodded, "I'm afraid." She glanced out the window and saw that it was already white. Bai Ruozhen hid her cotton coat in the quilt to keep it warm before putting on the cotton jacket inside the quilt, and then put on the cotton pants in the same order.
Zhao Lai Di, who was braiding her hair, glanced at her and sneered, "How pretentious! You really think you're the Empress."
Bai Ruozhen snorted. She was originally the Queen. If she hadn't been in dire straits, no, if she hadn't been in dire straits, she wouldn't have been bullied by Zhao Lai Di, the vicious dog.
"The queen's health is the maid's life." Zhao Lai Di snorted and said to Tian Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, let's pack up and leave first."
Tian Xiao'e naturally agreed, quickly put on her shoes and followed her to open the door.
Outside the door, Xu Dahe saw Zhao Lai Di having a headache. Zhao Lai Di was quite enthusiastic towards him. "Comrade, what's the matter so early?"
She hadn't thought about it carefully before going to bed last night, but when she woke up this morning, she felt like she'd been tricked by Bai Ruozhen. She'd been pretending for so many years, so why had Bai Ruozhen's words provoked her into losing her temper? She could have just cried pitifully, apologized pitifully, so why had she lost her temper? If she had cried and complained, people would have forgiven her, perhaps even sympathized with her. But now, they were looking at her with a strange look.
Zhao Lai Di decided to turn over a new leaf and become the Zhao Lai Di of the past again. Although she was poor, some people sympathized with her. She was so pitiful that some people gave her good things.
She had been doing this for so many years that she was already used to it. Now, facing Zhao Changhe, the first thing she did was to shyly lower her head, and then said very embarrassedly, "Laidi was wrong last night. I hope Comrade Xu will not take it personally."
Xu Dahe looked at her in surprise, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Zhao Lai Di smiled when she heard him say that, "What's going on so early in the morning?"
"Ah, that's right." Xu Dahe came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "At least the snow has stopped outside. Let's get up early, have some breakfast, and then rush to the village."
Zhao Lai Di was delighted and asked, "Are we from the same village?"
Xu Dahe said, "Changqing and I are from Xiahe Village."
"What a coincidence! We are also from Xiahe Village, but Xiao'e is from Shanghe Village." Zhao Lai Di said happily to Tian Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, why is there no one to pick you up from the village you are going to?"
He said he cared, but the gloating in his tone was too obvious.
Tian Xiao'e smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe, maybe she will be here soon."
Unfortunately, no one from Shanghe Village showed up even after they finished breakfast. Instead, two people from the Educated Youth Office came and explained their plans for the village before leaving. Before leaving, they said, "When you become educated youth in the countryside, you must accept the education provided by the poor and lower-middle peasants. You must actively build good relationships with your fellow peasants and work hard to grow more food."
The staff left, and Bai Ruozhen was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe it and said, "I still have to farm?"
Her voice was not loud, but the educated youth present could hear it clearly.
Li Ming looked at her in confusion and said, "We went to the countryside to grow crops with the poor and lower-middle peasants."
Bai Ruozhen was embarrassed all of a sudden. She said in frustration, "But I don't know how to do it."
"Tsk." Zhao Lai Di couldn't help laughing.
Bai Ruozhen looked at her aggrievedly, "Sister Lai Di, do you know how to farm? Aren't you from the city? Do you have to farm in the city?"
Without waiting for Zhao Lai Di to answer, Bai Ruozhen continued, "Oh, that's great. Your family can still farm in the city. Farming means we can eat food and have enough to eat. Why don't my family farm? No wonder we can't even have enough to eat."
Zhao Lai Di: “…”
Bai Ruozhen still refused to give up, pouting, "But, since your family can farm, you should have food to eat. Then why did you still want my white flour pancakes on the train? Those pancakes and eggs were saved for me by my parents because they couldn't bear to eat them. Sister Lai Di, how can you be so cruel?"
"When did I say my family was farming?" Zhao Lai Di tried hard to suppress her anger and act more like a lady. She must not let Bai Ruozhen provoke her with a few words and make her leave a bad impression on the locals.
Bai Ruozhen looked up in confusion, "Ah, didn't you tell me? Then how come you can farm?"
Zhao Lai Di blushed, "Who said I can farm?"
Bai Ruozhen spread his hands and muttered softly, "Then why are you making fun of me for not knowing how to farm?"
Zhao Lai Di: “…”
"Tsk, idiot."
Bai Ruozhen looked in the direction of the voice and saw the man in the ragged cotton jacket, ragged cotton pants, and ragged hat. However, the scarf had been removed, revealing a face underneath. Bai Ruozhen was immediately struck by the man's appearance. "Oh my, this man is so handsome!" Her cousin, the emperor, was already handsome enough, but this man was even more handsome than him. How could he be so handsome?
She really didn't want to admit it, and had always boasted that she and her emperor cousin were childhood sweethearts and a perfect match, but now she had to admit that she was willing to marry her emperor cousin because he was handsome.
But the person in front of him was more handsome than his cousin, and Bai Ruozhen suddenly felt that his cousin the emperor was not that important.
