345: Chapter 345 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 45_1 345: Chapter 345 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 45_1 During the first few days back at work after the holiday, the tasks were relatively easy, and the leaders were aware that everyone hadn’t yet shifted from the New Year celebrations and the mood of separating from their families.
Furthermore, at this ti of year, there wasn’t much to do in the fields, so there was no need to force anyone to work hard.
Everyone was therefore quite relaxed, and Huang Lei ran into Wang Nan a few tis.
She had thought that after the dispute with her family, they would treat her better and not be so miserly with everything.
Unexpectedly, Wang Nan was still as stingy as ever when it ca to eating and drinking, mostly avoiding at.
Huang Lei was different; whenever the canteen served at, she would never pass it up.
Whenever Wang Nan saw Huang Lei eating at, she would snort coldly, which really annoyed the latter.
She had thought about saying sothing, but then thought better of it.
It was her own body, and it was her own money saved up—why would she comnt?
So people are destined to be the type who always look out for their younger siblings, no matter how many tis they’re taken advantage of.
They can’t change their ways.
Zhao Aoran always ca to get his al after most people had finished eating, and the canteen staff would save so good food for him.
It’s not that there weren’t any complaints, but what ca of them was Zhao Aoran saying he wouldn’t wait until last next ti—he would co to get food as soon as it was served, and if soone couldn’t get enough to eat, it would have nothing to do with him.
As soon as these words ca out, who would dare to grumble?
If he really did that, it would lead to a brawl and no one would get to eat at all.
Huang Lei just watched from the sidelines and couldn’t help but admit that sotis you have to be fierce.
Zhao Aoran quickly got his food and prepared to leave.
He was eager to go back for so fish soup.
He could fish on his own, and when he had more fish than he could eat, he would raise them.
Since he lived alone, he didn’t have to worry about anyone stealing them.
After finishing her lunch, Huang Lei strolled over to have so fish soup at Zhao Aoran’s place.
Watching him eat eagerly, she said, “What do you think Fan Xiaofei is thinking?”
“Even if it’s shoveling manure, at least you’re free and no one looks down on you.”
“Your life now isn’t bad.” Despite the poor reputation, nobody hassled him, and he had his freedom, although he was sowhat busy.
Zhao Aoran drank the rest of his fish soup and let out a long sigh, “You think it’s good, I think it’s good too.”
“But Fan Xiaofei is different.
When I first knew him, he really had everyone surrounding him, buttering him up.”
“He was always the center of attention in the crowd.”
“It’s different for .
Everyone knows my grandfather is formidable.
Although my parents are the eldest, they aren’t favored by the old man, nor do they possess much ability.”
“Above , there are my uncles, and below are my younger cousins, none of whom respect , not to ntion my family can’t even compare to the Fan Family.”
“I’ve always been an underdog.”
“Although it felt humiliating at first, I had no other options.”
Zhao Aoran gave a bitter smile, “I’m not handso, moreover, I’m an abandoned child of my family, my parents have given up on entirely; I don’t have any obsessive admirers either.”
“What else can I do but stay here?”
“But it’s different for Fan Xiaofei.” Zhao Aoran took a deep breath, “I didn’t go ho for the New Year this ti, and didn’t receive a single letter from ho.”
“I didn’t write to them to say I wouldn’t be coming ho for the holidays.”
Even though he knew that his family wouldn’t go out of its way for a descendent who held no value to them, he still held a sliver of hope in his heart.
Yet reality proved to be disappointing and helpless; his family completely acted as though he didn’t exist, with no letters sent and absolutely no contact.
“It’s probably for the best there’s no contact that way, when they face trouble in the future, they won’t have the nerve to co seeking your help.”
“And if there’s ever a need for a marriage alliance within the family, they won’t push you forward.”
Huang Lei could only ntion the favorable aspects, but Zhao Aoran didn’t think his family would cast him out.
However, considering his family’s nature, if they really faced a crisis and needed soone to take the fall, he, the discarded piece of the clan, might be thought of as waste to be utilized sohow.
“I know,”
“Looking back, it’s actually quite good.
Even though I don’t have the support of my family, at least no one is trying to trap ,” Zhao Aoran smiled.
“By the way,” Zhao Aoran recalled the incident during the Spring Festival, “do you still rember over there…”
He pointed in a certain direction, “Over there, there were a few people undergoing re-education, locked up in the cowshed.”
Many people knew that people lived in the cowshed, but most would avoid contact with them, fearing trouble.
Zhao Aoran was different; he often encountered them at work and interacted with them frequently.
Huang Lei also knew that Zhao Aoran sotis even brought them so fish soup and the like.
If it wasn’t certain that he hadn’t been reborn and was just the original deal, one would really think he was investing in soone.
“During the Spring Festival, so people from the big compounds ca in cars to pick up a few persons,” he said.
Ah?
Are people going back now?
Huang Lei’s mouth fell open, “Maybe, they are moving them to another place?”
“How could that be?
Although they were dressed in plain clothes, I could tell from their walk and expressions that they all ca from the big compounds.”
“And, and…” Zhao Aoran paused, “They definitely weren’t ordinary soldiers, if you catch my drift.”
Zhao Aoran now liked to discuss so matters with Huang Lei.
Before, they always thought Huang Lei was brainless, but after spending more ti together, it beca clear she was quite knowledgeable.
“Do you think the situation is improving?” She had to admit, having grown up in different environnts, their perceptiveness was truly remarkable.
Zhao Aoran might have looked relaxed, but he was always vigilant about his surroundings, “I think it should be.”
“Plus, I’ve talked with the old ‘educated youth’ before, and they said life was tough for those who lived in the cowshed before.”
“Now, although they still have to self-criticize, they don’t have to do it publicly.
And if they’re feeling unwell, they can rest a bit.”
“The situation is improving,” Huang Lei murmured in agreent, “Do you think we can still take the college entrance exam?”
“If the situation does get better,” Zhao Aoran stared at the sky, they were all high school graduates, and it would be a lie to say they didn’t want to go to college.
“Perhaps, there might be a chance that the college exam will be reinstated.”
Zhao Aoran looked at Huang Lei, “Do you want to take the college entrance exam?”
“Of course, I do.
Otherwise, why would I bother attending high school?”
“And you know that this ti, my grandfather has managed to offend the Zhu Family.”
“If I could get into university, I would choose one far from ho and then try to get a job in another place.”
“That way, my grandparents could co to my place.”
Zhao Aoran was aware that Huang Lei’s family had offended the Zhu Family, “It’s true, the Zhu Family is quite powerful over there.”
“But as for the future…” Zhao Aoran had beco much calr, contemplating several matters.
“I can’t wait for the Zhu Family to lack a strong successor; they are all shaless, and their dealings are also very underhanded.”
“Or perhaps, if soone wants to deal with the Zhu Family and doesn’t want to do it themselves, they might use my family as a tool,” he said.
What Huang Lei wanted was an opportunity to leave her hotown through the college entrance exam.
