Xu Ning wiped the mud off Xu An's face with a handkerchief. Lu Xiaotang adjusted the direction of the bicycle and helped him get on to practice slowly.
Xu Ning also reminded from behind, "Don't ride so fast. Why are you in such a hurry at the beginning? Speed up after you get used to it."
After falling down, Xu An was not as excited as before. This time he practiced more steadily.
Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning stood on the side of the road and watched him practice.
Maybe because the others were talking too loudly when Xu An fell, someone from the Youth House opened the door and came out.
Xu Ning glanced at the door and saw Yang Wenli and Gu Wenping. When they saw Xu Ning and Lu Xiaotang, they nodded and prepared to go in.
Gu Wenjing's voice sounded from behind, "Brother, who is outside?" As soon as she finished speaking, someone appeared at the door, and Lin Miao was with her.
Lin Miao also saw the two people standing on the roadside. Xu Ning saw that Lin Miao and Yang Wenli were talking to each other for about two minutes, and then they walked towards them.
Yang Wenli greeted first, "Brother Lu,"
"Hello," Lu Xiaotang nodded and said,
Yang Wenli introduced them to the others, "Brother Lu, this is Gu Wenping and Gu Wenjing, both of them are educated youth from Beijing, and this is Lin Miao from Jiangsu Province."
Lu Xiaotang nodded without saying anything. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Xu Ning stood by, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
When Lu Xiaotang first arrived, he knew on the way that Xu Ning had a feud with these people, and he did not intend to have any dealings with them.
Lin Miao suddenly said, "Brother Lu, Wen Ping and Wen Li thought that since you are both from Beijing, you must have a lot of common topics, so they wanted to get to know you."
Gu Wenjing curled her lips quietly beside him, wondering what was wrong with Lin Miao. Why would she want to make friends with someone from a bad family?
After hearing what she said, Lu Xiaotang said, "Comrade, I am not Brother Lu. Please call me Comrade Lu. I am here to see my cousin. I am afraid I don't have time to chat with you. Sorry."
Yang Wenli and Gu Wenping both looked unhappy. They had not originally planned to come over to say hello. Lin Miao said that they were all from Beijing, so it would be good to get to know each other so that they could have more friends in the future. Who knew that this person would be so disrespectful?
Both of them had good family backgrounds. Gu Wenping's father was the logistics director of a large factory in Beijing, and his mother was also a trade union official. His two sisters also married well, and one of them even married the son of the deputy director of the factory.
Originally, he did not need to go to the countryside. His parents had already made arrangements with the factory to let him join the trade union after graduation. However, his mother did not get along with the trade union chairman, who reported this to the factory, saying that there were four children in their family, but none of them had gone to the countryside. Their two daughters were married, and the younger one was young, so the one in the middle was more suitable. Why couldn't they respond to the call and go to the countryside to contribute to the motherland and leave job opportunities for those in need?
The factory held a meeting and decided to give his place to another comrade who graduated from high school and came from a relatively poor family. Things had come to this point, and it would have been difficult to arrange a job for him in the workshop. His parents and two sisters wanted to use their connections to help him, but he refused and directly signed up to go to the countryside as an educated youth.
Yang Wenli's family conditions were better than Gu Wenping's. His mother worked in the Women's Federation and his father was the purchasing director of a unit. However, the three children in their family were very close in age, so one of them had to go to the countryside. Yang Wenli was the eldest, and he had a younger sibling, so he took the initiative to ask to go to the countryside.
Although Gu Wenjing's family background was not as good as the other two, she had been favored at home since she was a child. If her sister had not secretly signed her up for school because she didn't want to go to the countryside, she wouldn't be living in this poor place now.
If it were before Lu Xiaotang's family went bankrupt, Gu Wenjing would have really wanted to meet him. She remembered him after meeting him once with Fang Qianqian. Later, when she heard that something happened in his family, she never asked again.
The three of them felt embarrassed and turned around to go back. Lin Miao was a little anxious when she saw the three of them leaving. They didn't know, but Lin Miao knew, that in a few years these people would return to the city and some would even resume their positions.
Although Gu Wenping and Yang Wenli's family backgrounds were okay, they were not good enough in front of these people. Beijing was a place where many talents were hidden. Even if reform and opening up were implemented, without strong connections, the road ahead would not be easy.
She traveled through time from the future and knew very well that all the big guys in the future had strong backgrounds. There were also some who came from grassroots backgrounds, but they were a minority.
Lin Miao stopped them and said, "We all come from the same place. Even if we don't have time to chat, it's good to get to know each other. After Comrade Lu leaves, we can help take care of Xu Ning and Xu An."
When Lu Xiaotang heard her last sentence, he narrowed his eyes and looked at her dangerously, but before he could speak,
Xu Ning jumped up and said, "Bah, you're still taking care of us. Last time when you and Gu Wenjing bullied my brother and beat me, why didn't you say you were taking care of us? Now you're saying you're taking care of us. I think your face is thicker than a city wall." After Xu Ning finished speaking, he deliberately glared at them angrily.
After hearing this, Lu Xiaotang's eyes became more dangerous, and he said in a calm voice, "They beat you and Xiao An. Who beat you?"
Several people looked at her speechlessly...
Damn it, just tell me clearly, who is hitting who?
Lin Miao was stunned by her outrageous actions and thought to herself, you beat us, and we took the initiative to come to you for peace, shouldn’t you accept it with gratitude? Even if you don't accept it in your heart, you should still be polite on the surface! What kind of underworld rules are these?
Before they could answer Lu Xiaotang's question, Xu Ning pulled Lu Xiaotang and said angrily, "Brother Lu, let's go. Stay away from these people in the future. They are not good people."
After saying that, he pulled Gu Xiaotang and walked towards the direction where Xu An was riding his bicycle.
Lu Xiaotang was pulled by her for a few steps. Seeing that she was holding back a smile, he knew that this little girl did it on purpose. She should not suffer any loss in a fight. He smiled and asked, "What's going on? How did you get into a feud with those guys?"
Xu Ning told Lu Xiaotang about Lin Miao's plan to stay at her place but she refused, and about the fight they had in the field.
After thinking for a while, he continued, "I don't know why Lin Miao is so interested in Xiao Mo's identity. She even asked what Xiao Mo's parents did before. She also asked me why I brought Xiao An here as an educated youth at such a young age, but I retorted. Since then, I have not interacted with her much. I think she is a very strange person."
Lu Xiaotang listened to Xu Ning's words with a serious face, and said, "Stay away from these people in the future, and be careful when you go to the cowshed. Tell Xiaoan and Xiaomo to be careful when they talk outside."
Xu Ning nodded and said, "Xiao An knows the importance of things and never tells others about family matters. My parents have also warned Xiao Mo that although this boy is young, he is very smart and doesn't talk much outside. No matter how the aunties in the village tease him, he just smiles at them. Now the aunties in the village all love him very much.
I was also very careful about the cowshed. I would go out and check before every visit. I also discussed this with Grandpa Qi. If anyone saw it, they would say it was sent to Grandpa Qi. "
After saying that, she looked at Lu Xiaotang, who was looking at her with eyes full of doting. Xu Ning felt a little embarrassed by being looked at, so she coughed and said, "Let's go to the front to see why Xiao An hasn't come back yet?"
Lu Xiaotang felt lucky in his heart that he had acted early and did not have to wait two more years. The little girl was too good and her good qualities would sooner or later be discovered by someone who knew how to appreciate pearls.
