Chapter 1: Becoming an Educated Youth in the Countryside
"I'm sorry Weiwei, I've always just treated you as a sister. I don't like you."
"Song Wei, Luo Yecheng and I have become friends. Please don't appear in front of him in the future. This will make both of us very distressed."
"Song Wei, do you still have any shame? Luo Yechengdu said he doesn't like you..."
poof...
The feeling of suffocating when falling into the water is extremely uncomfortable.
Countless memories flashed through his mind like a TV drama. Song Wei opened his eyes suddenly, but what caught his eye was the old pure white ceiling.
Isn't she dead?
But now...what's going on?
"Song Wei, you're awake. How do you feel?"
A woman with two pigtails, simple clothes and some patches on them came over and asked with concern.
"How could you be so stupid? Even if Luo Yecheng didn't like you, you shouldn't have jumped into the water and committed suicide."
Li Juan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her wake up.
Song Wei looked at her hands, her pupils trembling a little, her eyes turned red and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
But they were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy and excitement.
She... crossed over.
Traveled to a world without radiation pollution and mutated animals and plants.
The air here was so fresh that she greedily wanted to breathe it in deep breaths.
Li Juan saw her crying, but thought she was sad.
"Don't cry, everyone already knows that Luo Yecheng and Jiang Xiaowan are dating, you are..."
Song Wei said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine."
I am happy.
goo goo...
My stomach rumbled, that familiar feeling of hunger.
But Song Wei remained calm. This feeling happened every day in the wasteland world and she was used to it.
"Look, I forgot about it."
Li Juan quickly took out a rather plain aluminum lunch box that looked like it had been used for a long time and gave it to her.
"This is made from your share of food. I brought it for you."
When the lunch box was opened, the aroma of food wafted into Song Wei's nose, and his eyes gleamed with greed.
She almost couldn't wait to grab the lunch box, and without even using a spoon, she poured the whole grain porridge inside into her mouth.
Li Juan was frightened by her ferocity, like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.
How hungry must one be to force a pale and sickly girl into this state.
This so-called porridge is actually cornmeal paste, the kind of old corn that has been dried, mixed with some small stones that have not been cleaned up.
It was a little straining on the throat, but Song Wei loved it.
Because this is real, natural food without any pollution and with the aroma of grain.
"Eat slowly, no one is trying to snatch it from you."
Afraid that she might choke, Li Juan quickly handed her the water in the bowl next to her.
Song Wei took the water and took a big gulp, and his throat felt much better.
Keep eating.
Song Wei ate very quickly and finished the corn porridge in a few gulps.
The feeling of food entering the mouth and stomach is so satisfying.
After she woke up, the doctor came to check on her. She was still a little weak, so the doctor asked her whether she wanted to continue to rest in the hospital or leave.
She chose the latter.
The doctor looked at her and hesitated to speak.
After all, Song Wei's image at this moment really looked like she was about to faint at any time.
She had the soft and delicate appearance of a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. She was thin and looked fragile and weak. Although she was beautiful, it was not obvious that she was a worker. Yet she went to the countryside as an educated youth.
Now his little face looks so pale and sickly, it is really unbearable to see him.
"Would you like to reconsider it?" Song Wei's eyes were firm: "No, I want to leave."
"Okay, all for one dollar."
Li Juan felt distressed when she heard about the one dollar medical expense.
What's the point of thinking this through? Now not only do you suffer, but you also have to spend money.
The doctor also advised Song Wei: "You are so young, why are you so depressed? Diving in such a cold weather is a pain in the ass. Don't do this again next time."
Song Wei nodded, and a little embarrassedly asked Li Juan to advance the money first.
"I don't have any money with me."
Although Li Juan felt the pain, she still paid for her first.
"You must remember this."
One dollar is a huge sum of money for her.
Song Wei nodded: "I'll give it back to you when I get back."
With the memories of this body, Song Wei knew where her money was.
Although her body was still weak, Song Wei walked briskly and her eyes showed some excitement.
Li Juan was puzzled. Why was he so happy?
When we returned to the brigade, we took a ox cart. Today, it happened that the brigade's ox cart was waiting at the old place.
When they got there, there were already a few aunties sitting on the ox cart with small baskets and chatting.
Song Wei had sharp ears and vaguely heard her own name.
"Isn't that Song Zhiqing?"
Just when we were talking about her, she appeared. All of the people on the ox cart looked over at once.
"Oh, Song Zhiqing, is he okay?" He didn't look too well.
"Come and sit over here, you're finally okay. Everyone has been worried about you during this period."
There may be some worry, after all, it is a life, but more of the time it is just a show.
Now everyone in the team knows that Song Wei dived for Luo Zhiqing.
"Aunt Ma, Aunt Guihua..."
Song Wei's face was pale. He was sweating a little after walking all the way. His lips were a little pale and he seemed like he could faint at any time.
But in fact, she herself knows that she is doing very well now.
The main reason was that her stomach was full and she felt satisfied. She matched the names of several aunts in her memory one by one, but there were many more that she didn't recognize.
After all, the original owner had only been in the countryside for less than a week.
"Song Zhiqing, did you know that Luo Zhiqing is going to marry Jiang Xiaowan?"
Suddenly, an auntie came over and talked to her: "Tsk tsk... This educated youth Luo is really popular, but you've taken a dive for him, why isn't he worried at all? He still got married, which shows that he really doesn't care about you at all."
An auntie next to her immediately scolded her: "Liu Guifen, why are you saying this now? Are you looking for trouble? Song Zhiqing just came out of the hospital. If anything happens to her, I'll see what you'll do!"
What kind of person is this? Song Zhiqing just came out of the hospital and he doesn't look fully recovered yet, but he is not afraid of making him angry and send him back to the hospital again.
The auntie named Liu Guifen immediately moved away from Song Wei and said, "I just told Song Zhiqing what happened in the brigade. If she really has something to say, it has nothing to do with me."
She was afraid that Song Wei would blame her if anything happened.
Song Wei glanced at her. She was familiar with this aunt Liu Guifen. To be more precise, she was very familiar to the original owner in her memory.
The original owner had a conflict with an old woman just two days after arriving in the countryside. Liu Guifen was the old woman's daughter-in-law.
"I'm fine, thank you Aunt Ma, but..."
She looked puzzled: "Who said I jumped because of Luo Zhiqing?"
The people on the ox cart looked at each other in confusion.
Liu Guifen immediately said, "Song Zhiqing, you are not afraid of being embarrassed and not admitting it, everyone knows that you dived for Luo Zhiqing."
Although Song Wei had only been here for a short time, everyone had seen her chasing after Luo Zhiqing.
Song Wei still looked confused.
"I did like Luo Zhiqing before, but it was impossible for me to jump into the water for him. Comrade Jiang Xiaowan and I met by the river at that time. It was indeed because Luo Zhiqing had a few words and then pushed and shoved. The stones by the river were slippery, and it had rained that day, so I stepped on them and accidentally fell in."
