Wear it quickly, it's better to live a miserable life than to die

Ding Yi just wandered around and bought some needles and thread.

Sun Qiumei was poor to begin with, and most of the money she had was defrauded by three letters. People who are short of money would just take it as buying it just by looking at it.

However, Ding Yi still wandered around until almost two o'clock before he arrived at the gathering point on the town street. He saw the ox cart from the western village, packed with people, going away.

Pianxi Village is far from the town. It happened to be the weekend market day, the first big market after the autumn harvest. Many people from the village came to the town, and others had already made round trip reservations. The educated youth who missed the trip had to take bus No. 11 to rush back.

As soon as Ding Yi arrived, Wang Lixia pulled him over. Wang Lixia looked anxious, but she still pulled him between the educated youth and asked in a low voice, "Qiu Mei, is the news true? Where did you get the news?"

Looking at everyone and seeing that they all pricked up their ears, Ding Yi began to make up a story.

"After I mailed a letter from the post office, I found a book when I walked through the street behind the post office. I walked out and saw an elegant old man. He said the book was his. I confirmed it and gave it back to him. He wanted to give me a benefit, but I refused. Then he told me a piece of news: the higher authorities will announce the resumption of the college entrance examination by next autumn at the latest."

Ding Yi looked at everyone with a pair of eager eyes, and said firmly, "I want to go back to the city."

Those present were all educated youth who had no connections but were unwilling to waste time in the countryside. This sentence was a huge attraction to them.

Returning to the city, Ding Yi proved with practical actions that in order to return to the city, she was willing to believe that this was true.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. After two minutes of silence, Li Aiguo slapped his thigh and said, "Let's take a gamble."

As soon as Li Aiguo finished speaking, several others responded.

Yes, take a gamble, if the news is false, they have nothing to lose.

What if it is true? They knew it a year in advance and prepared early, so their chances of passing the exam are no greater than others. It’s simply a huge profit.

Ji Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Should I tell other people about this news?"

Ding Yi shook his head. "It's better not to do that, Brother Ji Ming. Except for us, we are all alone here, without any ties. Everyone else has a family. If we don't handle it well and cause family conflicts, will they blame us? We don't even know whether the news is true or not, how can we say it?"

Under Ding Yi's clear eyes, Ji Ming touched his nose and admitted his mistake, "I took it for granted."

There were eleven people present. Ding Yi planned to go to the county town tomorrow. Ten people responded, and a group of people went to the station to buy tickets in a noisy manner.

In the evening, Li Aiguo and Ji Ming went to the team leader to ask for letters of introduction for everyone.

The educated youth had held group activities before, but not as many people as this time. Everyone went to every educated youth site.

I was just going to stroll around the county town. The captain asked a few questions casually and didn't say anything else.

Then, the two went to the home of Uncle He, who was in charge of the ox cart, and proposed to take the ox cart to the county town the next day and take the bus back in the evening. If Uncle He could wait, he would wait for them, and if not, they would find another way.

Price is negotiable.

It is better to negotiate a price than to cry poor and act pitiful.

Uncle He's face was originally unhappy. The bus back home didn't arrive in town until six or seven o'clock. It would take an hour and a half to drive the ox cart through the night, and he wouldn't get home until nine o'clock.

Hearing that it was negotiable, Uncle He coughed and said, "Normally, it's two cents per person to go to town, but your situation is special, so five cents is not too much, right?"

"It's not too much." Li Aiguo directly paid the deposit and pulled Ji Ming away from Uncle He's house.

The two men came back in the night, and the dew that fell to the ground turned into frost.

"Is it done?" Under the eaves of the educated youth site, everyone was awake and staring at Li Aiguo and Ji Ming.

Li Aiguo nodded readily, "Done."

"Great." Everyone stood up and cheered. This was their first step back to the city and an important step in making a decision.

"Go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow. Wear more clothes, don't catch a cold just for the sake of beauty." Li Aiguo said, asking the female educated youth to go into the house quickly. The weather was still quite cold, especially at night and in the morning, when it was all white with frost.

"Wait, Brother Li," Ding Yi, who was on the female educated youth side, summarized some information based on everyone's memory and handed a copy to Li Aiguo, "This is the study material we summarized. Everyone try to collect all the books on it tomorrow."

Other female educated youth chirped and added, "It's been several years since graduation, and I've forgotten a lot of things."

After Ding Yi said that, she stopped talking. After all, the other person graduated from high school, and she, who graduated from junior high school but dropped out of high school, had no right to comment.

So, she had to look for more books than anyone else.

The next day, a group of people got up early, packed up and washed up, and rushed to the village entrance, just in time to see Uncle He driving out.

"Oh, here they come." He Boha let out a breath of hot air and asked them to get in the car quickly, while complaining that the frost was a bit thicker this year.

It secretly reveals how hard he worked for this trip and how reasonable the price is.

Li Aiguo had stayed in Pianxi Village for a long time and had already understood Uncle He's personality. He kept saying nice things to Uncle He without asking for any money, which made Uncle He very happy.

He quickly sent them to the station and told them that he would pick them up in the evening, and asked them not to delay or they would miss the return bus and wait in vain.

After getting off the car and Uncle He walked away, Ji Ming gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are amazing."

Li Aiguo just smiled and said nothing.

Ding Yi also found it interesting. After traveling through so many worlds, she initially treated the people in the world as paper people and NPCs.

But now, she never thought so again. The world belonged to her original self and to them.

In their world, everyone is the protagonist, a living being with flesh and blood, laughter, noise, emotions and feelings.

The world in a person's eyes is actually less than one ten-thousandth of the world itself.

Just like Li Aiguo's persistence, who could have thought that because of his persistence, he would eventually see the light of day, jump over the dragon gate, and return to the place he had always longed for.

Li Aiguo has been working in the countryside for more than ten years. Although he is 30 years old, he looks like he is 40 years old, but his heart is the same as he is 20 years old. He has never surrendered or given up.

He is the elder brother who advises people on how to deal with people, and also the spiritual chicken soup for the remaining educated youth.

When Sun Qiumei was forced to marry He Huafu, Li Aiguo worked on her behalf for a period of time, vowing to at least find out the facts.

However, the captain was trying to smooth things over, the He family was making unreasonable demands, and Sun Qiumei was too cowardly to resist.

His running around was more like a joke.

Some people were whispering behind his back, wondering if he had a crush on Sun Qiumei, or if Sun Qiumei had hooked up with him.

Later, Li Aiguo knew that the woman was in a difficult situation and did not want to add a stain to Sun Qiumei and make it difficult for her to live in the He family, so he did not dare to interfere in Sun Qiumei's affairs anymore.

After returning to the educated youth point, he repeatedly reminded all the female educated youth not to go out alone, even if no one asked him out.

After so many years in the countryside, he has seen the same thing many times, and each time he was helpless to do anything.

It is women's shame that is at work, and it is also the point at which others take advantage of them.

Losing your virginity? And staying alive?

They choose to live with grievance after losing their virginity, and live under the eyes of the world, swallowing all the grievances.
