463: I'm waiting for you here
When Yu Xiaoye heard the sound of the door opening, a trace of fear surged in his heart.
She quickly turned off the flashlight so that if something strange came out, she could immediately get back to the space.
However, after the door opened, a familiar voice came from inside, very soft, like a secret code:
"Is that you?"
Bai Zongdan's voice.
Hearing that it was Bai Zongdan who was inside, Yu Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief. He was so scared, thinking it was something else.
Yu Xiaoye whispered inside:
"It's me."
Bai Zongdan inside heard Yu Xiaoye coming back, so he opened the door a little more and Yu Xiaoye squeezed in.
It was darker inside than outside, and nothing could be seen clearly. I could only vaguely see Bai Zongdan's eyeballs glowing slightly in the darkness.
In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, Yu Xiaoye did not turn on the flashlight, and the two pairs of eyes looked at each other in the dark.
The two asked almost in unison:
"Why are you here?"
"Why did you come back just now?"
After asking, they all fell silent again.
Bai Zongdan replied in a low voice:
"I'll wait for you here."
Yu Xiaoye was a little surprised when he heard this:
"Why are you waiting for me here?"
Bai Zongdan said shyly:
"At first I wanted to wait for you to come back and give me an answer, but I waited for a long time, until dark and you still didn't come back. I was a little worried, worried that something had happened to you. I wanted to go find you, but I was afraid that you would come back after I left, so I kept waiting here so that I could open the door for you. Otherwise, you might come back too late and the door would be closed."
After hearing what Bai Zongdan said, Yu Xiaoye felt a little strange for some reason.
She asked:
"How long have you been waiting here?"
"It's been more than two hours."
Yu Xiaoye didn't expect that it would take more than two hours for him to be there!
Bai Zongdan actually waited in this empty and cold auditorium for more than two hours?
Bai Zongdan asked again:
"Where have you been? What took you so long?"
"I, I went out for something."
Thinking about how Bai Zongdan was waiting alone in the dark while she was cuddling with Zhou Ziheng in the warm room, Yu Xiaoye felt a little guilty.
She said:
"Xiaobai, you don't have to wait for me, I'm fine."
"Did you return the lunch box to Lin Darong?"
Speaking of this, Yu Xiaoye sighed.
Bai Zongdan felt a chill in his heart when he heard her sigh:
"what happened?"
"The lunch box was sent back, but something unexpected happened."
Yu Xiaoye did not hide anything from Bai Zongdan and told him exactly what had happened.
This also included the incident where Zhou Ziheng taught Lin Darong a lesson in front of Deputy Director Lin.
Bai Zongdan gasped when he heard this and remained silent for a long time, with fear in his eyes.
Yu Xiaoye noticed his nervousness and fear and advised:
"Xiaobai, it's okay. It's actually better to lay things out like this. At least Director Zhou and Director Lin know your attitude and know that you have no intention of getting involved with Lin Darong. It was Lin Darong who unilaterally caused trouble for you. If Lin Darong wants to contact you again in the future, just ignore her. Don't be afraid."
Yu Xiaoye's consolation made Bai Zongdan feel much better:
"Thank you, Yu Xiaoye. Thank you so much this time. I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
"It's okay, but we've agreed that you won't come to me for this kind of thing again."
"I won't bother you anymore."
"Well, let's go back."
Yu Xiaoye turned on the flashlight and walked towards the stairs inside the auditorium.
After Bai Zongdan and Yu Xiaoye went upstairs, they also locked the door of the auditorium and returned to the dormitory on the second floor.
Yu Xiaoye returned to the dormitory, turned on the lights in the room, went back to the space, made milk powder, took out the four still hot eggs, and ate two of them.
After eating, I went back to the dormitory, turned off the lights, and returned to the space to rest.
-----
On the other side, the Lin family.
After Deputy Director Lin brought his daughter Lin Darong home, he scolded her severely.
He is not the kind of person who would spoil his children. If he was not afraid of causing chaos, he really wanted to hit the child hard with a broom.
Get this girl's brains back!
When Old Mrs. Lin saw her son scolding her granddaughter, she did not stop him. This foolish granddaughter really needed a lesson. If she was not taught a lesson, who knows, she might do something even more shameful in the future.
However, Mrs. Lin's daughter-in-law, Lin Darong's mother, could not bear it anymore.
Lin Darong's mother Chu Lan works in the farm's food processing factory. She strongly supports her daughter Lin Darong's idea.
In fact, the reason why Lin Darong came up with the idea of marrying an educated youth, returning to the city with him, and becoming a city dweller was also the idea given by Chu Lan.
Chu Lan’s biggest regret in life was that he was not able to move to the city and become a city dweller.
When she was young, she married a peasant husband and became a farmer's wife.
Later, my husband joined the army to fight. He was lucky in the army and was promoted all the way.
Chu Lan originally thought that her husband would be able to move to the city and become an official in the future, and she would also be able to take advantage of her husband's status and become an official's wife in the city.
Who would have thought that with just one order, all the troops that Deputy Director Lin was in at the time were sent to the remote Great Northern Wilderness to open up wasteland.
Chu Lan's dream of becoming an official's wife in the city was shattered. She had no choice but to pack her bags and follow her husband to this bitter and cold place with her family.
Here, her husband was still lucky and worked his way up to become the deputy director of the main farm. She also became the director's wife and had a job. Logically, she should be content.
However, this is the frontier after all, the northernmost part of the motherland, cold and far away.
The headquarters is located in a small county town, which cannot be compared with a real big city. Therefore, Chu Lan has always had this regret in his heart, always feeling that he has not really entered the city and is not yet a city dweller.
Her wish
Since it didn't come true, I secretly taught my daughter to be a city dweller in the future and not to stay here.
Influenced by her mother, Lin Darong wanted to go to a big city and become a real city dweller.
But these days the population cannot move freely, and all the people in the city have moved to the countryside. It is harder than climbing to the sky for people from the countryside to move to the city!
It didn't matter that the mother and daughter couldn't find a chance to go into the city.
However, the two later found a turning point.
Chu Lan discovered that in the past one or two years, many educated youth with connections were transferred back to the city through their family relationships.
When these educated youth came to the Great Northern Wilderness, they were determined to "take root in the frontier" and never go back.
But as time went on, their initial ambitions were gradually eroded by the cruel reality. The educated youth found that life here was really difficult. They were far from home, the work was hard, and the food was poor. They no longer had the original passion, and many of them wanted to return to the city.
Ordinary educated youth have no way out and no hope of returning to the city.
But the children of high-ranking officials, whose families have backgrounds and power, can always find opportunities to return to the city.
For example, a certain unit may come here to recruit workers. On the surface, they are recruiting workers, but in fact, they have already decided on a recruitment list and recruited the children of the unit’s leaders.
Others have a military background and recruit their children in the corps through conscription.
If all else fails, you can still get through by using all the connections and getting your children a medical retirement.
Some people even didn't even say goodbye, threw away their bedding and their identities as educated youth sent to the countryside, and ran back to the city alone.
