Chapter 695 Learning from Mistakes
As I listened, drowsiness crept in: This person is really good at talking!
Just then, Commander Ma said mysteriously, "Since you were in the United States, you must not have seen the earth-shattering changes on the 15th! In the middle of the night, not only did a golden light suddenly appear, but at noon when the sun was at its strongest, the whole sky suddenly went dark, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face! I was eating at the time, and good heavens, I almost poked my chopsticks into my nostrils!"
Helian Jiao blinked and said in a soft, sweet voice, "I saw it."
Gu Tingyun: ...
He never expected that even China would be affected.
Upon hearing this, General Ma exclaimed in surprise, "Even in the United States, so far away, it's like this?! This matter is definitely not simple! Let me tell you, it's said that a highly respected master said it's because two of our country's dragon veins have experienced unusual activity..."
He went on and on, describing it vividly as if he had seen it with his own eyes, which his bunkmate listened to with great interest.
Helian Jiao opened her mouth again and yawned: What nonsense! It was clearly her father and the big bad dragon who did it.
Gradually, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Ma Dashuai automatically shut up.
When it was lunchtime, Helian Jiao opened her eyes and sat up without being called, saying, "Gu Tingyun, I'm hungry."
"Okay, let's go wash our hands first, then come back for dinner."
Gu Tingyun squatted down and helped her put on her shoes and tie her shoelaces.
After washing my hands, I came back and took out some smoked ham and pickled radishes.
Seeing this, Ma Dashuai proudly took out a roast chicken from his bag.
Once bitten, twice shy. Ever since he was tempted last time, he has been well-prepared every time he takes the train.
He didn't bring anything from his upper bunk, and could only look on longingly at the aroma of meat. Are young people these days so particular about what they bring when they go out?
General Ma generously shared the roast chicken: "Young lady, young man, have a chicken leg."
He knew that children loved to eat juicy and tender chicken legs, and for him, it didn't matter where they ate them.
"Thanks."
Gu Tingyun did not refuse and gave him a piece of ham as a return gift.
They finished the roast duck they bought yesterday, and the ham wasn't fresh food, especially since his little hamster was a bit picky.
At that moment, Chen's daughters-in-law were working in the fields while listening to Old Lady Bai gossip.
"What a tragedy! The educated youth's daughter-in-law from Old Guo's family in the next commune secretly took her college admission notice and ran away yesterday!"
Zhou Zhaodi asked in surprise, "Didn't we keep a close eye on them? How did they still escape?"
Two weeks ago, a male educated youth in their commune received an admission notice saying he was going home to visit his family. A few days later, he called back saying he wanted a divorce, and then they couldn't contact him anymore.
The woman doesn't even know the exact home address. She has endured so much to give birth to two children, and now it's unclear how she will survive!
Therefore, families in several communes who had married or married educated youth were very nervous and kept a close watch on them, some even crying and making a fuss to prevent them from going to university.
Grandma Bai said, "I heard that he ran away in the middle of the night while everyone in the family was asleep, and he even took fifty yuan from the house!"
As he spoke, he started cursing: "Those educated youth who went to the countryside are heartless! Before, when they saw no hope of returning to the city, they found partners in our village to live a good life and even had children. But as soon as they passed the exam, they abandoned their wives and children. They will get their retribution sooner or later!"
