Song Shuangshuang took the 6:3 pm train and would arrive in Qishi, Heilongjiang Province, at noon the next day. Before she left, Song's mother made dumplings for her and boiled three eggs for her to take with her. It was a northern custom to eat dumplings on the train and noodles when getting off. Since it was summer, she didn't dare to prepare too much for fear that it would go bad.

Song Shuangshuang hadn't eaten much at night, so she was a little hungry. She took out the aluminum lunch box prepared by Song's mother from her bag, and the moment she opened it, the aroma of meat dumplings wafted out.

The people sitting around swallowed unconsciously, especially Bai Lingling, whose eyes lit up.

She was not valued at home and lived in a small cubicle, without even a bed, only two wooden boxes. If she had not been able to supplement the family income by taking a temporary job, she would have been sent to the countryside like her sister. And she was also responsible for all the laundry and cooking at home.

This time, her family asked her to give the job to her younger brother, or they would marry her to a 35-year-old lame carpenter. She had no choice but to agree, but her parents only let her take her clothes with her and gave her a quilt with stiff cotton that was no longer warm. They didn't prepare anything extra for her, and even the 10 yuan subsidy for going to the countryside every month had to be sent back regularly.

So when she saw Song Shuangshuang only took a handbag when she got into the car, and another large package was handed in by her parents from under the car, she knew that this family doted on their daughter and their conditions were not necessarily bad.

She planned to have a good relationship with Song Shuangshuang. Even if they couldn't go to the countryside in the same place, it would be fine if she could get some benefits on the bus. When she learned after the introduction that they were going to the same city, she was secretly delighted, thinking that they would spend a long time together on the road and there would definitely be benefits. However, she didn't expect that Song Shuangshuang would not be persuaded. Not only did the tried and tested methods not work on her, but they also attracted strange looks.

Now that Song Shuangshuang had meat dumplings to eat, Bai Lingling was very greedy. She hadn't eaten meat for half a year. She ate a two-grain pancake before getting on the bus at noon, and didn't eat anything at night. She did have a steamed bread in her bag, which she secretly put in her bag when her parents weren't paying attention. She didn't want to eat it and wanted to save it for tomorrow.

When Song Shuangshuang took out the lunch box, she noticed Bai Lingling's gaze, but she didn't care and didn't make any expression of enjoyment to stimulate her.

She didn't want to provoke anyone, but she couldn't help but feel shameless. Bai Lingling still had a pitiful expression, and she moved closer to Song Shuangshuang and said, "Song Zhiqing, can you give me two dumplings? I haven't eaten for a day, and I'm really hungry."

Song Shuangshuang had a mouthful of dumplings stuck in her throat and was having trouble swallowing it.

No? How dare this person ask her for food?

"Do I know you well?"

"We are all educated youth sent to the countryside, please help me." Bai Lingling covered her stomach with her hands. At the same time, she noticed that someone was looking over here, so she acted even harder, trying to squeeze out two tears to make herself look more pitiful.

Seeing Song Shuangshuang pick up a dumpling from the lunch box, Bai Lingling thought that Song Shuangshuang had softened her heart, so she leaned over and opened her mouth to take it. Unexpectedly, Song Shuangshuang put the dumpling directly into her mouth.

Bai Lingling was embarrassed and angry, "What do you mean?"

Song Shuangshuang deliberately smacked her lips, "My mom's meat dumplings are so delicious!" Before, considering the feelings of the people around her, she always put the whole thing into her mouth and ate it with her mouth closed. After swallowing it, she said in surprise, "What's wrong, Bai Zhiqing? I didn't agree to let you eat it, why are you opening your mouth and coming closer?"

"You were the one who brought the dumplings to me, and I thought you were kind enough to give them to me, but you took them back." Bai Lingling blushed with shame, but she was more angry. She didn't expect Song Shuangshuang to tease her like this.

Song Shuangshuang looked at her in disbelief and said, "I was picking up the dumplings just now and suddenly got stuck and just wanted to stretch them. If I really agreed to give them to you, would I not say anything? I'm not mute." You little jerk, you still want to take food from her mouth.

"You!" Bai Lingling raised her hand and pointed at Song Shuangshuang. "You still have so much. What's wrong with giving me two? I haven't eaten for a whole day."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't point at me. How can you come to me when your family doesn't prepare food for you?" He slapped Bai Lingling's hand that was pointing at him and said with a straight face, "This is the first time I see someone asking someone they just met for meat. How can you be so embarrassed?"

There was something exciting to watch, and everyone craned their necks to look over here. They saw that it was the same two girls from before, one was aggrieved and the other had a stern face. But this time they learned their lesson and did not make a direct judgment.

After hearing the whole story, everyone was stunned. She actually asked for food, and meat dumplings at that. Meat and flour were so expensive, and they were only eaten during the New Year and other festivals. This girl came up and asked for it, and got angry when she didn't give it to her! They all talked about it:

"How can you, a grown-up girl, be so embarrassed to ask others for meat?"

"That's right. He doesn't look like he's short of food or drink. How dare he open his mouth?"

After all, she was still a little girl, and couldn't stand so many people talking about her. This time she really cried and ran to the toilet with her face covered.

Song Shuangshuang curled her lips. With this fighting ability, he still dared to challenge her? She sat down and continued to eat dumplings.

Gao Wenyuan on the other side of the aisle glared at Song Shuangshuang and cursed in a low voice, "You are so selfish and don't know how to help each other."

"???" How many brain-dead movies has this person eaten? Song Shuangshuang collected the lunch box and walked over. "If you are generous, go buy her some meat. What's your ability to whisper about me? Speak louder."

Gao Wenyuan didn't expect Song Shuangshuang to come to him. Everyone's eyes were focused on him again. His face flushed and he didn't dare to speak.

"Coward!" Song Shuangshuang snorted, another weakling in combat.

People got on and off the same carriage along the way. Although these two people did not dare to make trouble for Song Shuangshuang again, Bai Lingling always looked at Song Shuangshuang intentionally or unintentionally. When she noticed it, the moment she looked up, Bai Lingling would immediately turn her head and pretend to look out the window.

Recalling the general plot of the book, Song Shuangshuang's intuition told her that she and Bai Lingling would probably have another encounter. Seeing that this person had been staring at her all the way, he must have been holding back his fart. Song Shuangshuang took out the book in her handbag and wrote down several important plots.

Although she knew how to deal with Bai Lingling, she could not handle it if she pretended to be innocent and found some guy to cause trouble for her. She still had to stay away from her.

The train traveled all night and arrived in Qi City the next afternoon.

After getting off the bus, the educated youth gathered to be assigned to the rural areas. As expected, she, Bai Lingling, Gao Wenyuan, and a female educated youth named Tan Anjing were all assigned to Jiangjia Village under Qianjin Commune.

The person who came to pick up the educated youth was Bai Anjia, the team leader of Jiangjia Village, and accompanying him was Uncle Wu, who drove a donkey cart in the village. Everyone in the village called him Old Wu.

Seeing that three of the four educated youth assigned to his village were women, the team leader's face darkened. He didn't bother to talk to Song Shuangshuang and the others, and grabbed the staff who assigned the educated youth.

"Mr. Zhang, why are there so many female educated youth assigned to our village?"

Zhang Huaimin, the person in charge, is an old friend of Bai An's family. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. "This, isn't it because your village has a high grain yield?"

Bai Anjia was so angry that he wanted to hit Zhang Huaimin with a stick, "What do you mean our village has a high grain yield? This is all black soil, so how can only our village have a high yield? It's because our villagers are capable. You see, it's me who came to our village to pick up the educated youth. If it was our village chief who came, how dare you send three female educated youth over?" How could he not know what this guy was planning?

"There are more female educated youth than male educated youth this time. In the past, your village got to choose first. If more female educated youth are given to other villages this time, those old guys will tear me apart. Help me this time. I'll buy you a drink when I'm free."

Bai Anjia didn't believe it. "Don't talk nonsense. That's what you said when I came to lead the educated youth last year. There were six people in total, five of them were female educated youth, and they were complained about by the villagers when they went back." If their village chief hadn't gone to the meeting this time, he would not have come. As long as he came, he would definitely be cheated by this guy.

Zhang Huaimin quietly put a pack of cigarettes into Bai An's pocket and promised, "Next time! Next time I will definitely assign you a male educated youth. That's it for this time."

Bai Anjia turned around and left. He didn't want to pay any attention to this old man.

Old Wu was also worried when he saw Song Shuangshuang and the others. When he saw Bai Anjia coming back, he asked hurriedly, "How about it? Can you change it for us?"

Bai Anjia touched his pocket and shook his head, "No change." For the sake of the box of cigarettes, he decided to let it go for now.

Old Wu's face wrinkled up, and he complained in front of Song Shuangshuang and the others, "What are we going to do with so many girls? How much work can they do?"

After witnessing the whole process of Zhang Huaimin stuffing cigarettes into her mouth, Song Shuangshuang felt a little speechless. It turned out that they were not as useful as a pack of cigarettes.

"Everyone, get on the donkey cart and go back to the village." Bai Anjia asked several people to get on the cart, and then he sat down on the other side of Old Wu.

Song Shuangshuang had never thought that they wouldn't have to walk back to the village. In other novels, the cart could only hold luggage, and people had to walk back. After thinking about it, she quickly got on the donkey cart and found a place.

Bai Lingling was a little reluctant to ride in a donkey cart. She didn't have any nice clothes, so what if they got dirty? She couldn't help but complain, "Why ride in a donkey cart? Isn't there a tractor in the village?"

Old Wu glanced at Bai Lingling and said, "If you don't want to ride in a donkey cart, then the tractor must burn oil." Girls in the city are more pampered than each other. If they are so pampered, why do they come to their countryside instead of staying at home?

"My friend went to the countryside and his village picked him up in a tractor."

Bai Anjia snorted coldly, "Then why don't you go to your friend's place in the countryside? We only have a donkey cart here. How about you go to the Youth League Office and ask someone to take you to your friend's place?" He was still unwilling to accept female youth, as they ate more than they worked all year round.

Bai Lingling didn't dare to say anything back. She didn't have any friends. She was just talking nonsense. She saw that there were several bags piled up on the cart, taking up a lot of space. There was only a little space left for her at the end of the cart. She looked at them pitifully and said, "Can you hold your luggage? I have no place to sit."

Hearing her say this, Gao Wenyuan and Tan Anjing each picked up a relatively small piece of luggage and held it in their arms, and pulled the rest of the packages to their side. Bai Lingling looked at Song Shuangshuang who was unmoved and said, "Song Zhiqing, can you move the luggage? I have no place to put it."

Song Shuangshuang turned her head and saw that there was enough space for people to sit and put her bag. There was nothing else to move. Could it be that Bai Lingling wanted to go to the village lying down?

Turn your head back and don't move.

Bai Lingling didn't dare to cause trouble anymore, so she put her luggage at the back of the car and got in.

Seeing that everyone was on the cart, Old Wu whipped the donkey cart lightly to start it moving and set off back to the village.
