Chapter 28 Aren't you afraid of attracting people with ill intentions?
The girl stood up abruptly, pointed her finger at Xu Zhili, and shouted angrily, "Don't go too far! It's just going to the countryside as an educated youth, which is a glorious and great thing. Look at you, with a gloomy and sad face. You look like the kind of rich, hedonistic capitalist young lady!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud slap rang out.
Xu Zhili's expression was cold and stern. She lightly shook off the hand that had just slapped the person and stared straight at the girl in military uniform with her icy eyes.
"I really didn't realize you had such a thick skin. My hand hurt from slapping you. I'm warning you, if I hear you casually labeling people again, I won't be polite. Otherwise, I'll knock your teeth out next time."
This was the first time the girl in military uniform had ever been slapped in public. She was instantly enraged and, as if possessed, lunged at Xu Zhili, wanting nothing more than to fight her to the death.
Fortunately, the person sitting next to her reacted quickly and firmly held her down.
"Comrade, calm down. We're all good comrades who went to support the rural development efforts of the educated youth. Let's not hurt our relationship."
The girl in military uniform struggled, shouting angrily, "Can't you see I'm being bullied? How dare she treat me like this! What, are you taking her side because you've taken a liking to her?!"
In response, there was another loud "slap," and a resounding slap landed on her.
Xu Zhili's eyes were full of disdain as she coldly said, "As a sent-down youth and a highly educated intellectual, how can your thinking be so outdated and corrupt? A person with a dark and filthy heart sees everyone as dirty. Tsk, I am truly disappointed in your ideological awareness, someone like you..."
Xu Zhili clicked her tongue, slowly shook her head, and showed a look of disapproval of the girl's thoughts.
An expression of utter disappointment.
"I'm not like that at all!" the girl in military uniform retorted loudly, her face flushed.
"My dad is the director of a textile factory, my mom is the head of the women's federation in the neighborhood, and my brother is a soldier who has now become a battalion commander! Our family has a very high level of ideological awareness. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not that kind of old-fashioned person!"
The girl in military uniform revealed her identity in one breath, her face full of pride, looking at everyone triumphantly.
She was completely unaware that a strange heat was gradually rising in the eyes of those around her, especially the men, whose thoughts were almost written all over their faces.
"idiot."
Xu Zhili gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly.
With such good family background, how could you just casually mention it?
Aren't you afraid of attracting people with ill intentions, like being targeted by wolves?
When the time comes, they'll be devoured by people in the countryside until nothing is left.
Sigh, Xu Zhili shook her head helplessly. It seemed that this girl was too simple-minded and naive. Who knew how many losses she would suffer in the future?
"Oh? What are your parents' and brother's status? Can you just casually tell others about this? Are you stupid? Didn't your parents teach you not to reveal too much family information in public? Besides, even if your family has excellent personal circumstances, does that mean you have high moral character?" Xu Zhili scolded mercilessly.
The girl opposite Xu Zhili blushed with shame after hearing what she said. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear. She could no longer care about anything else. She got up crying and hurriedly left her seat.
Xu Zhili finally waited until the chattering person across from her stopped, then turned to Xu Zhian and said gently, "An'an, you haven't eaten yet, have you? These are meat buns that Grandma Xu specially made for us. Eat up."
As always, little Xu Zhian was quiet and reserved, only smiling slightly, but still obediently took the bun and started eating.
Xu Zhili smiled and reached out to pat An'an's head. Then she picked up a meat bun and took a bite. Her eyes lit up immediately. "Mmm, it tastes really good. Grandma's cooking is amazing."
Upon hearing this, those around couldn't help but secretly swallow.
The two people who had just sat next to the girl in military uniform smiled and took the initiative to speak in order to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.
One of the boys said, "Well, haha, my name is Li Weiguo, from NN City, Guangxi Province. I'm also going to the Xiangyanghong Brigade in the Great Northern Wilderness this time."
Immediately afterward, a girl quickly added, "I'm also going to the Xiangyanghong Brigade in the Great Northern Wilderness. I... oh no, my name is Liu Chunmei."
Even one of Xu Zhili's comrades, somewhat embarrassed, secretly raised his hand and said, "I'm also going to the Xiangyanghong Brigade in the Great Northern Wilderness. My name is Meng Haozi."
Xu Zhili then realized that everyone sitting together had the same destination.
Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Xu Zhili could only smile and reply, "Hello, I'm also going to the Xiangyanghong Brigade in the Great Northern Wilderness. My name is Xu Zhili, and this is my younger brother, An'an."
After a while, the girl in military uniform finally managed to compose herself.
When she saw everyone chatting and laughing, she was on the verge of a breakdown again.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then timidly sat back in her seat, attempting to minimize her presence.
At this moment, Liu Chunmei, who was standing next to her, greeted her in a friendly manner: "Hello, comrade. My name is Liu Chunmei, this is Li Weiguo, and the comrades opposite are Xu Zhili and Meng Haozi. Of course, there is also this lovely little An'an. Although we come from different places, we are all going to the same destination—the Xiangyanghong Brigade in the Great Northern Wilderness. And you, comrade, what's your name?"
Bai Linlin probably realized that her previous attitude was problematic, so she had to restrain herself and said, "My name is Bai Linlin, and I'm also going to the Xiangyanghong Brigade in the Great Northern Wilderness. I'm really sorry about what happened just now. I'm the kind of person who doesn't think before I speak, and I just blurt out whatever comes to mind."
"Okay, I'll give you all some White Rabbit candies to sweeten your mouths. Please forgive me." As she spoke, she took out some White Rabbit candies from her green crossbody bag.
Li Weiguo quickly replied with a smile, "It's nothing, thank you."
The other comrades also reached out and accepted the milk candy, nodding their thanks.
When Xu Zhili heard the name "Bai Linlin," she felt that it sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
Just as she was pondering, Bai Linlin presented Xu Zhili with a dozen or so White Rabbit milk candies, interrupting her thoughts: "Xu Zhiqing, I was too careless with my words just now. Please forgive my rudeness. Consider these candies my apology."
Seeing that she was sincere and proper, Xu Zhili stopped arguing and took the candy from her hand.
Seeing that Xu Zhili had accepted the candy, Bai Linlin was overjoyed and immediately started chatting with the people around her.
