The educated youth in Hongxing Village have one day off every month.
Two female educated youth were planning to go to the post office to pick up packages sent by their families, so the female comrades at the educated youth site decided to go into the city together.
The male educated youth had no interest in shopping so they did not participate.
The ox cart from the village entrance to the city also charges a fee of 20 cents per person. It is a bit slow, but it is better than walking.
As for riding a bicycle, forget it. The cheapest 28-inch bicycle costs more than 100 yuan and requires an extra ticket. In the entire Hongxing Village, only the son of the village party secretary has bought one.
It is such a valuable thing that I would not borrow a bicycle from others unless I needed it for something urgent.
Before Li Cuicui went to the countryside, her family was well-off and she would either take the bus or ride her bicycle when going out.
It was my first time to squeeze into a bullock cart with the villagers. There were so many people and the smell was mixed. The road was crowded and bumpy, and the pigtails on my shoulders were almost shaken off.
There were people in the car with poultry, and the chickens, ducks, and geese were clucking and making a lot of noise, which gave her a headache.
She frowned, rolled her eyes at Zhang Fenglan, who was pressed against her, and said impatiently, "Can you please stop squeezing me? I stink. I haven't showered in days."
The voice was quite loud, and everyone in the car turned to look at the two of them.
Zhang Fenglan felt a little aggrieved. It wasn't that she wanted to stick close to Li Cuicui. There were so many people in the car, carrying baskets and backpacks. Where would she have room to stand?
What's more, he was sitting next to Li Cuicui, so it was inevitable that their bodies would touch.
"I didn't mean to... and I just washed it yesterday..."
As he spoke, his voice became quieter and quieter.
Zhang Fenglan spoke in an aggrieved tone, her eyes drooping pitifully, her fingers clutching the seams of her trousers, as if she had tried her best to control herself from squeezing others but was forced to do so by the circumstances.
Her appearance made the educated youth next to her unable to bear it anymore.
"Li Cuicui, don't bully me. It's not Fenglan's fault that the car is crowded."
"Okay, we are all sisters living in the same house, don't let outsiders laugh at us."
Li Cuicui is too pampered. Everyone is riding in the same car, but she is the only one who is always making trouble.
If you dislike ox carts, you can walk to town and take a bus if you have the guts!
Besides, who can't see that she is just taking advantage of the situation?
Some time ago, in order to pursue a man, she took the initiative to send snacks to Liu Yuzhou from the geological team. As a result, the man rejected her mercilessly and said bluntly that he would not consider dating, and even if he did, he would not consider someone like her.
In front of so many people in the geological team, these words really hit the heart.
Li Cuicui had never suffered such an injustice before. She scattered the snacks all over the floor and ran back to the educated youth site crying.
It took several days of comforting by everyone at the educated youth site before he was able to barely get over the shadow.
As a result, the pickles made by the educated youth were ready two days ago.
Zhang Fenglan and Xiao Hong secretly gave their share to the geological team, but Li Cuicui found out.
When the two came back, Zhang Fenglan's basket was empty, but the pickled vegetables in Xiao Hong's basket were still there, which showed that Zhang Fenglan's share had been successfully given away.
Li Cuicui was immediately stimulated.
He tried to show his affection by bringing the most expensive snacks from the state-owned store, but was humiliated by the rejection.
Zhang Fenglan gave him a crappy pickled vegetable, and he actually accepted it?!
So angry!
But Zhang Fenglan seemed to know what she was thinking. She stayed away from her for the past two days and didn't give her any chance to cause trouble.
Look, after holding my anger in for two days, I finally found a place to vent today.
"Humph, you just pretend to be pitiful!"
Li Cuicui spoke sarcastically, rolled her eyes again at Zhang Fenglan who was hanging her head beside her, and said to the educated youth who were fighting for justice:
"Why didn't you guys come to her rescue when she abused her power for personal gain a few days ago? We all worked together to pickle the pickles. If she gave them away as a gift, she should have told everyone in advance!"
Finally, the matter was laid out in the open.
A female educated youth who had just stood up for the injustice took over the conversation:
"What's wrong with people giving their share away? If you're capable, give it away too! I think you're just taking advantage of the situation!"
Li Cuicui's tone became even more sarcastic when her thoughts were touched:
"Am I taking advantage of this? Who knows how much she got? Did they weigh it? If she took more, wouldn't the rest of us get less?"
The journey was long, and the villagers in the ox cart liked to chat and gossip, and now they all focused their attention on the female educated youth.
Zhang Fenglan, who was originally the center of the topic, said nothing, just lowered her head, looking extremely sad.
Li Cuicui hated her most for looking depressed and helpless. When they quarreled, they would just go back and forth and argue with each other.
But she just kept silent and acted pitiful, asking others to stand up for her.
Just as Li Cuicui was about to direct her anger at Zhang Fenglan again, Xiao Hong, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up.
"Cui Cui, you misunderstood Feng Lan. We originally planned to give the vegetables to the entire geological team that day.
Later, someone fell into the water and Captain Liu jumped into the river to save him but was injured. The scene was very chaotic and we came back not long after.
When I came back, I realized I had forgotten to send out the vegetables in my basket.”
Xiao Hong's explanation actually leaned towards Zhang Fenglan's side. The two originally planned to use the delivery of food to create an opportunity to get to know Liu Yuzhou.
She and Zhang Fenglan have similar family conditions and upbringings. The most important thing is that both of them look insignificant, especially in front of someone like Li Cuicui who is beautiful, confident and outspoken.
Maybe it's just that we are of the same kind and we appreciate each other.
Who doesn't like handsome gay men? No one stipulates that Li Cuicui can't have some thoughts about the men she didn't catch up with.
Li Cuicui's attention was diverted by Xiao Hong's words: "Captain Liu is injured?"
