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

Coming out refreshed, Ding Yi and Wang Lixia smiled at each other. They didn't expect that they were the first ones to come back.

The bulky mechanical clock on the station wall showed the time was 2:25.

At 2:40, the others came back with bags. Ding Yi estimated the size and thought it was two sets at most.

"How is it?" Wang Lixia went forward.

"There is no second-hand bookstore in the county, so we found two and a half sets at the scrap yard." Li Aiguo was a little discouraged. He looked down and saw several bags lying on the ground, and no one else was around.

"This... is what you found?"

Wang Lixia and the other three raised their heads proudly. The answer did not need much explanation.

Others all put on smiling faces and praised in various ways.

"I thought you guys haven't eaten yet. Come, eat something first and get on the bus right away. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat on the bus."

The train departed from the station and the eleven of them occupied most of the seats. In order not to give the conductor a chance to speak, two large sacks were opened and each person took a part.

Halfway through the journey, the car was already packed with people.

The driver walked along and the attendant shouted along, but he was rather indifferent to those who came up to him on their own initiative.

When they returned to the town, it was already dark. Uncle He was rubbing his hands, wearing an old military coat, and walking around the ox cart.

Suddenly, he heard a car horn. He turned around in surprise and saw a group of educated youth who looked like they had been ravaged getting out of the car listlessly.

"Why so late?"

"Too many people got off the bus along the way." Li Aiguo dry-heaved a few times and forced himself to answer.

Halfway through the journey, some people brought in freshly-fed chickens and ducks. The smell, mixed with other smells in the small carriage, almost made them pass out.

The others were even worse than Li Aiguo. They all vomited loudly and looked so miserable that Uncle He didn't have the heart to urge them to hurry up.

On the ox cart, eleven people huddled together, resisting the cold wind while suppressing the turmoil in their hearts.

The next morning, several people couldn't get up.

After the autumn harvest, the people in Pianxi Village immediately started planting winter wheat, so now they are completely idle.

No need to go to work, just stay in bed all day.

On the third day, dreams urged them not to be lazy any longer.

Ding Yi alone paid for the six sets of textbooks. After returning, after some calculation, the others gave the money to Ding Yi.

Ding Yi didn't hesitate and accepted it.

In December, it snowed heavily and Guo Chang came to the educated youth site.

At that time, all the people in the educated youth site sat together and discussed learning problems with each other.

There was a knock on the door and Li Aiguo went out to open it.

"Comrade Guo Chang, is there anything I can help you with?" The closeness of a relationship can be seen from the title. Li Aiguo pronounced the word "comrade" in a stiff and distant manner.

Guo Chang and Sun Qiumei were both educated youths at the educated youth point. Although they never showed any clues about their affairs to the outside world, their occasional glances were thick and sticky. How could they not see it when they lived under the same roof?

Li Aiguo is an old man at the educated youth site, and he has no idea how many times he has seen this kind of thing.

"Comrade Li Aiguo, is Comrade Sun Qiumei here? I would like to speak to her privately."

Although they are all educated youth, Guo Chang's appearance is definitely the best among them.

He pays attention to skin care and his skin is whiter than others.

No wonder He Huacan fell in love with her at first sight.

A lifesaver who is powerful, influential and good-looking is called a man of honor.

Those who have no power, no status, and no good looks should repay the emperor's kindness by tying a grass knot and holding a ring in their next life.

Li Aiguo had an ugly look on his face and sharp eyes. He was just about to say something to dispel Guo Chang's wishful thinking and to talk to him privately about something, asking if he knew that he was already married and if he knew how to avoid suspicion.

Ding Yi came out and stopped the angry Li Aiguo, "Brother Li, it's okay. I also have something to talk to Comrade Guo Chang about. I don't want to ruin my reputation if there's any confusion in the future."

Glancing at Guo Chang outside the door, Ding Yi's words were not polite at all.

Guo Chang's face gradually darkened, forming a sharp contrast with the white frost on the ground. There seemed to be whirlpools in his eyes, dark and scary.

In the past, whenever he acted like this, Sun Qiumei would lower her head and admit her mistake.

Now, in front of him was Ding Yi.

Ding Yi won't spoil him.

The two moved outside the door and stood in the corner against the wall.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Ding Yi's voice was as cold as the weather.

Li Aiguo did not walk far, and listened to their conversation with his ears perked up. If he were to say, Guo Chang should not have come to see Ding Yi, because he was a married man, and his wife was a local and a favored one in the family. If there was a problem, Guo Chang would just leave, and the rest would be borne by others.

"You've changed." Guo Chang suppressed his displeasure and softened his tone.

"Ugh!" Ding Yi almost vomited.

Changing one's heart is not terrible, after all, human hearts are complicated. If one still wants to pretend to be affectionate and use his ex after changing his heart, then he is a scumbag.

"Guo Chang, you are so disgusting. It's okay, I'll go in first. It's very cold, cold and disgusting."

Ding Yi turned around and tried to go back. Guo Chang hurriedly tried to pull him back, but Ding Yi hit him with a big kick.

Guo Chang covered his face with his hands, his eyes were full of anger, and his complexion was pale with a hint of black, and black with a hint of red.

"You dare to hit me!"

Ding Yi suddenly wondered if Guo Chang had a problem with his brain. He had already beaten him, so what was the point of asking him if he dared or not?

"Wait, Qiu Mei, can you come out alone at night? I have something to return to you. It's in the same grove as before."

Seeing that Ding Yi was about to leave and completely ignored him, Guo Chang became anxious. He did not care whether there were outsiders present or not, and hurriedly spoke out the purpose of this trip in a low voice.

"You gave me these things before, you don't want them to be known to others, right?"

Ding Yi turned his head and glanced at Guo Chang with a half-smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Guo Chang knew that Sun Qiumei was shy and that as long as he spread those things, he would at most suffer a few criticisms. But it was different for Sun Qiumei.

He dared to guarantee that the other party would definitely go.

Seeing Ding Yi walking back in a good mood, Li Aiguo breathed out white air and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Ding Yi smiled, a bright smile, as if the clouds and mist had dissipated, "It's okay, I slapped the scumbag as a final farewell to my former blindness."

At night, after everyone went to bed, Ding Yi sneaked out alone without disturbing anyone.

Along the way, my feet never touched the ground.

Rain and snow began to fall from the sky, and the cold wind blew straight into my neck.

After gathering his clothes, Ding Yi floated to the grove and saw from afar a human-shaped statue standing under the tree where Sun Qiumei had been staying. The statue kept breathing and stamping its feet, and the thick cotton-padded jacket on his shoulders was already soaked.

Guo Chang is a man who can use any means to achieve his goal, and he can also endure all the time to achieve his goal.

Ding Yi squatted down, picked up a stone, and flicked it out with his fingers.

Guo Chang swayed a few times on the spot, then fell to the ground with a "bang", rolling all over the mud.

Ding Yi stepped forward and kicked Guo Chang, but he did not react.
