Chapter Five: Going to the Countryside
[Send educated youth to the countryside!]
[The vast world forges a righteous heart!]
We also have two hands; we won't be idle in the city!
Red slogans were printed almost entirely on the walls on both sides of the road.
Gu Zuozuo followed the route by memory, observing her surroundings as she went.
"Left left!"
A sweet voice came from behind, and Gu Zuozuo subconsciously turned around.
Two girls with long braids and wearing long dresses quickly caught up with us.
"Zuo Zuo, are you going to the department store?"
The sweet, outgoing girl grabbed her arm and started chattering away with a sweet smile.
"I also signed up to go to the countryside, just like you! We can be together again."
Meng Tian, true to her name, is a girl with a sweet appearance and temperament. She was also the original owner's high school classmate for two years.
"Yes, Zuo Zuo, we both signed up to go to Harbin in the northern province. If nothing unexpected happens, we might even be assigned to the same commune and production brigade!"
Gu Zuozuo raised an eyebrow. "A place?"
She would never believe it was a coincidence.
The three of them grew up together, one being Meng Tian and the other Qi Meng.
The two were very lively and outgoing. They were immediately attracted to the original owner's face when they first met as children, completely ignoring her resistance and attempts to avoid them. They clung to her like little sunshine every day, and eventually even their own mother became their mother.
"Did you two do this on purpose?"
Meng Tian and Qi Meng both giggled foolishly, each clinging to one of Gu Zuozuo's arms and refusing to let go.
What a joke! Would they admit it? Of course not!
They were also going to the countryside, just in different places.
Knowing they had to go to the countryside, the two of them were very worried. Zuo Zuo was so pretty, what if she got scammed?
They wouldn't let Zuo Zuo go to the countryside alone; it was too dangerous. So they used a little trick...
Gu Zuozuo smiled, a faint, beautiful curve appearing on her lips. Her smiling eyes glanced down at the two guilty girls.
The original owner was quite lucky; at least, she had two extremely kind friends who were closer to her than blood sisters.
It's just a pity...
Thinking of this, Gu Zuozuo narrowed her eyes. What to do? She still felt those people deserved to die!
"Zuo Zuo, it's cold up north. You need to buy those cotton quilts that weigh seven or eight pounds, and those thick cotton coats. If you don't have enough cotton coupons, I have some here!"
Qi Meng took out a few tickets from her crossbody bag and tried to stuff them into Gu Zuozuo's hand, but Gu Zuozuo refused.
"No need, I have a ticket. You're also going to the north, have you prepared your own?"
Qi Meng comes from a good family, but unfortunately her mother is a stepmother and her biological father is also a stepfather. Although there are no dramatic situations like not having enough to eat or wear, financial freedom is out of the question.
Qi Meng curled her lips smugly and waved the cotton ration coupon in her hand.
“I was almost ‘forced’ to go to the countryside. My grandma and the others finally had an excuse to take back my mom’s things. Now all of those are mine, and there are still a lot of money and coupons that my uncle gave me. Don’t worry, I’ve packed everything up!”
