Chapter 3 Repatriation?
There were a lot of things and people in the car, and the smell was mixed. Lin Qi felt nauseous and her face turned pale.
"The car hasn't even started yet, and you're already carsick?"
The person next to her suddenly spoke. Lin Qi turned her head slowly. There was no light in her beautiful eyes. Her pale lips uttered words one by one, "Smell, stinky."
Ma Guizhi moved her nose and said, "It does stink. My name is Ma Guizhi, what's your name?"
"Lin, Qi." Lin Qi looked at Ma Guizhi. If she remembered correctly, this man had five children in his family.
Ma Guizhi was also looking at Lin Qi. In just a few seconds, curiosity, surprise, sympathy, and disgust flashed in her eyes.
"Are you stuttering?" she asked bluntly.
"She's not a stutterer, she's a fool." A voice came from behind Lin Qi. Lin Qi turned her head and saw a slightly familiar face.
This is Zhao Haiyan, Lin Miaomiao’s friend, who has been to the Lin family several times.
As soon as Zhao Haiyan finished speaking, the noisy carriage suddenly became quiet.
Are there any fools on the educated youth train?
Can a fool become an educated youth?
A fool goes to the countryside to build the motherland?
.......
This is clearly someone dumping their burden on the country and the people! This is too much!
For a moment, Lin Qi felt the malice coming from all directions.
"Get out of the car!" Ma Guizhi grabbed Lin Qi's arm and tried to pull her up from her seat.
Lin Qi grabbed the window frame, using all her strength, her face flushed, "I'm not stupid!"
"You're stupid. The whole neighborhood knows about it." Zhao Haiyan shouted, pointing at Lin Qi indignantly. "It was your sister who bribed the people in the neighborhood office to sign you up."
Lin Qi looked at Zhao Haiyan in surprise, thinking, aren’t you Lin Miaomiao’s friend? Why are you backstabbing her?
What Lin Qi didn't know was that Lin Miaomiao and Zhao Haiyan had an average relationship. Although they knew each other, they were more of a competitor. They were harmonious on the surface, but they were always competing with each other in private. Zhao Haiyan's hostility towards Lin Miaomiao reached its peak after she learned that Lin Miaomiao didn't have to go to the countryside.
"Once the news that there is a fool among our Zhoucheng educated youth team spreads out, Zhoucheng's reputation will be ruined." A boy looked grim.
"We must not let her get into our team!"
"Get her out of the car!"
"It's too late, the car has moved!"
“.......”
The voice of Kuang Qie Kuang Qie reached the ears of everyone present, and the scenery outside the window kept changing. Others were stunned, and Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kick her off the bus at the next stop!" Zhao Haiyan said.
The others nodded in agreement, "We must get her out of the car."
Lin Qi thought she had escaped, "......"
The bustling carriage became quiet because of the fool Lin Qi. Everyone was united in hatred and glared at Lin Qi. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been nervous and trembling at this moment, and those who were less courageous would probably cry out loud.
However, Lin Qi did not do that. She had seen all kinds of big scenes in her previous life, and what she saw now was just child's play.
"I'm not stupid!" She corrected calmly, her eyes were clear, and she certainly didn't look stupid.
So, some people began to doubt.
"She looks fair and clean, with bright eyes. She doesn't look like a fool."
"She looks like a fairy. But so what? We can't let lust blind us! We need to be rational! We can't be fooled by appearances. Even if she looks pretty, it can't change the fact that she is a fool!"
"From the speed at which she speaks, she is stupid."
"Maybe he's not a complete fool, but a retard!"
"What are idiots and weak-minded people doing? They will only hold everyone back!"
"She was abandoned by her family. Don't you feel sorry for her? Her closest people abandoned her, and we despise her. What should she do? It's not her fault that she was born a fool. We should help her."
"Well said! We are brothers and sisters without any blood relationship. We cannot abandon our siblings! We should help her!"
"We should help her, but I still suggest sending her back. We go to the countryside to help and build. Bringing her along will hinder our progress. And she is a fool, so she is doomed to be unable to make progress."
"......"
Things were developing in a direction that Lin Qi couldn't understand.
A heated debate broke out in the carriage, with everyone's faces flushed and spitting, firmly defending their own opinions. As the subject of the debate, Lin Qi seemed like an outsider, her thin body huddled in a corner, temporarily forgotten.
The argument was so noisy that after twenty minutes the conductor and the train manager arrived.
Lin Qi lowered her head silently. If she had been a little more eloquent, she could still argue and fight for herself. But after seeing the eloquence of these people, she accepted her fate. Whether to go or stay was up to God.
This "trial" lasted for half an hour, and the final conclusion was that Lin Qi continued to go to the countryside.
There are two reasons why Lin Qi must go to the countryside: first, the special train for educated youth does not stop midway, and the train will not stop for Lin Qi; second, Lin Qi's procedures for going to the countryside are legal and compliant, and have been reported. Her information has already arrived at the place where she is going to the countryside, and it is extremely troublesome to change it.
This result cannot satisfy everyone, but they have no better choice but to accept it.
"Do your job well and don't bring shame to our Zhoucheng." Zhao Haiyan warned Lin Qi.
Lin Qi blinked and hummed a little late. The next second, her stomach growled loudly, causing some people who wanted to "admonish" her to shut up.
"It's already half past ten in the morning!" Someone pulled up his sleeves to reveal the watch on his hand.
Watches are valuable items in this era, and the cheapest ones cost hundreds of yuan. And money is not enough, you also need tickets, which are more difficult to obtain than money.
As soon as the watch appeared, the eyes of everyone present changed, and the focus shifted from Lin Qi to the watch and the owner of the watch.
The owner of the watch was very satisfied with the scene at the moment. He raised his chin proudly, like a peacock spreading its tail, and nonchalantly accepted the envy and compliments from others.
Lin Qi glanced at the watch and then lowered her head to look through her backpack. There were three or four sets of clothes, a toothbrush, an aluminum lunch box, an enamel cup, an enamel basin, Lin Mo's small iron box and the five tomatoes she had grown overnight.
There were only five tomatoes left to eat. Lin Qi didn't know how far the journey would be, and she wasn't sure if her five tomatoes would make it to the end.
The tomatoes are bright red and shiny, and as big as an adult man's fist. As soon as they are taken out of the backpack, the rich fragrance hits your nose.
"What kind of fruit is this?" The person on the other side was immediately attracted by the rich red color.
"Tomato." Lin Qi put the tomato under her nose, took a deep breath, and immediately felt her stomach feel much better.
"Is this a tomato?" The person opposite him obviously didn't believe it. In his opinion, the largest tomato was no bigger than a ping-pong ball, with a mixture of green, red, yellow and blue. There was no such pure and bright red, let alone one that was this big and smelled so good!
"Maybe she doesn't recognize it and mistakes it for a tomato," said another person.
"It's possible. After all, she is stupid." The boy agreed.
Lin Qi: “….”
Lin Qi was not the only one who was hungry. Everyone had gathered before dawn, and few had eaten breakfast. However, unlike Lin Qi, they ate all kinds of cakes, buns, and steamed buns. The better-off ones even had eggs. Only Lin Qi ate tomatoes until they were juicy.
"My whole-grain biscuit is a bit dry. It would be better if I had a tomato to go with it." said the male educated youth opposite.
"My steamed buns are dry too." said another male educated youth.
When Lin Qi heard this, a light flashed in her eyes. Tomatoes are delicious, but they are not a staple food. "Change?"
The two educated youths opposite looked at each other and exchanged a multi-grain steamed bun and a coarse-grain cake for a tomato respectively.
