SIAS Chapter 28.1

Beep—

As soon as the first whistle sounded, Yi Qingqing opened her eyes.

It was time to go to work today!

She got up quickly and folded the quilt.

After washing and combing her hair, she tied it into a braid and changed into sturdy and comfortable clothes.

For breakfast, she made dumpling soup with the braised pork that she didn’t finish yesterday.

By the time she had filled her stomach, the second whistle sounded.

She quickly cleaned up the dishes, washed, and hung the dirty clothes from yesterday. Then, she poured out the dirty water and filled the water tank before the third whistle sounded.

Yi Qingqing and her group of friends who came on the train together were familiar with each other, so they naturally made an appointment to go together since it was their first time to work.

Liu Chunxing and Wang Lingling went out together at about the same time as them, but the two groups were clearly separated and there was no communication between them.

Liu Chunxing tried to talk to Yun Guyuan, but Yun Guyuan completely ignored her, so she could only give up in disappointment.

When they reached the front half, the old educated youths were also preparing to go out.

“We have been here for two days, but we have never had the opportunity to get to know each other. Today, we finally met at work. Why don’t we introduce ourselves? Otherwise, we are all educated youth, but we won’t even be able to call each other’s names and make the villagers laugh at us.”

The speaker was a male educated youth, wearing glasses, looking gentle, and refined, “Let’s start with me. My name is Lu Xianjin, from northern Shaanxi, and I went to the countryside last year.”

Yi Qingqing looked at him carefully. Was this the Phoenix man in the book, the one who abandoned his wife and children and sought another rich girl after getting into university?

He looked like a decent human being. No wonder he could deceive little girls!

Others also briefly introduced themselves one after another.

Yi Qingqing finally matched the characters mentioned in the book with their faces.

The people she had guessed based on the description in the original book were all correct.

Among the old educated youths, the best-looking female educated youth was Tang Lan, the type that made people feel pity for her.

It was not known how Liu Chunxing, whose character design had collapsed and who started to go the route of a little white lotus, compared with her in terms of means, but she was inferior in terms of appearance.

After exchanging names, the topic was somehow led to bicycles again.

“Comrade Yun and Comrade Yi must be from well-off families. They bought bicycles as soon as they went to the countryside. I wonder where their parents are working?” Lu Xianjin asked.

“It can’t be called well-off. We are just ordinary people. It’s just that my parents love me more, so they brought me more things.” Yi Qingqing said with a fake smile.

Yun Guyuan was much simpler and didn’t say a word.

“Comrade Yi, if you ask me, we educated youth should help each other. Yesterday, you didn’t lend Comrade Liu a bicycle, so she didn’t give out the brown sugar she was going to thank you for. You lost a lot.” Tang Lan said provocatively, looking like she was doing good for her.

Yi Qingqing thought, this was not right, why were they all coming for her?

Haven’t you seen such a big heroine?

How could she be more eye-catching than the heroine who was dressed up so carefully, even down to her hair?

Why were you picking on her?

Could a bicycle have such great power?

Although Yi Qingqing realized that her recent performance seemed a bit too high-profile, not only did she attract Liu Chunxing’s hatred, but also attracted other people’s attention.

This was not what the spectators should do.
