Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 2: The 70s Educated Youths Who Went to the Countryside to Survive

Holding back the churning in her stomach, Gu Li received her original body's fragmentary memories of the subsequent work in the countryside. She knew that the girl sitting in the middle opposite her was called Guan Xiaofang. She was stingy and aggressive and didn't like her very much. However, she was assigned to the same production team as her and lived in the same dormitory.

The man sitting by the window is called Xiong Yi, and the other boy is called Zheng Yongguo.

Gu Li only knew this much about these three companions, nothing more, because the original person died inexplicably the day after he went to the countryside.

"Comrade Gu Li, where are you going to join the queue?" When everyone introduced themselves to each other, when it was Gu Li's turn she only said her name. Xiong Yi had always been curious about where she was going to join the queue, and now he finally had the chance to ask.

"I'm also going to the Unity Commune in Yangtai City."

"Really?" Xiong Yi was so happy that he didn't even eat the biscuit.

Guan Xiaofang rolled her eyes. The big idiot next to her really wanted to eat his beauty. Let's see if he can still be so crazy after starving him for a few meals.

Guan Xiaofang looked at Zheng Yongguo on the other side. He was also listening to the two people's conversation, but he didn't look at Gu Li much. Guan Xiaofang secretly defined in her heart that Zheng Yongguo was relatively reliable.

Guan Xiaofang ate the last dumpling and placed the empty aluminum lunch box heavily on the table. "Comrade Gu Li, everyone has to go to bed tonight. It's not good to keep the window open. Who will be responsible if you catch a cold from the night wind?"

Gu Li:-----

Could it be that this person's targeting was not so obvious?

Gu Li lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. If I close the window, I'm worried that I'll get dizzy and vomit, and it will make the place dirty. Can I just open a small gap?"

The tea-like words immediately made the woman opposite raise her thick eyebrows.

Before Guan Xiaofang could speak, the girl next to Gu Li spoke first, "How come you catch a cold just by the breeze in the hot summer? If it wasn't raining outside, wouldn't everyone have to open the windows? But you are so delicate that you can't even stand the breeze. What kind of construction can someone like you achieve in the countryside?"

"You!" Guan Xiaofang almost jumped up.

Isn't this person saying that she is a spoiled young lady? This is an attempt to accuse her. She pointed at Gu Li unconvinced, "You say I am spoiled, but am I as spoiled as her? Look at my hands, they are the hardworking hands of the working people."

Guan Xiaofang spread out her hands, turning them upside down to show the calluses, cracks, and barbs on them.

"Look at her hands again and see who is the spoiled capitalist's daughter!"

Guan Xiaofang tried to label Gu Li a capitalist, but that was not acceptable. Gu Li, who had received all the memories of her original body, knew that this was a turbulent and cautious era, so she would not let her succeed.

The people in the aisle, as well as those at the surrounding tables, turned their heads to watch the fun.

Gu Li sulked her face and said righteously, "My father is the director of the Jingshi Shipyard No. 1, and my mother is a nurse. They are both working class people who serve the people. I don't know where the capitalists that Comrade Guan Xiaofang mentioned come from?"

Zheng Yongguo, who had not participated in their conversation, suddenly moved his deep eyes when he heard about Gu Li's family background, and began to think carefully about what was in his mind.

"Do you know me? How can you say such nonsense? I volunteered to leave home for the rural development of my motherland. Do I have to accept your unwarranted speculation just because I am not feeling well?"

Gu Li whimpered twice. "My hands are not as calloused and cut as yours. That's because I just graduated from high school and signed up to go to the countryside as soon as I put down my books. Besides, can you tell whether someone is a working people by their hands? I don't know about other things, but on our train, there is a train driver who steers the direction, a crew manager who maintains order, a restaurant waiter, and a fireman who keeps shoveling. Can you judge the size of their contribution based on whether they have calluses on their hands?"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about, when did I say that!" Guan Xiaofang yelled angrily, fearing that she would attract the train attendants and the like.

She had underestimated this woman. She looked weak and would fall down if pushed, but once she opened her mouth she would chatter non-stop and she couldn't get a word in.

The fresh air outside gave Gu Li confidence. Her voice was not small, and the attention that had just been attracted by Guan Xiaofang's words "the eldest daughter of a capitalist" was now returned to Guan Xiaofang.

These educated youth who were going to the countryside were all from the city. Their family conditions might not be as good as Gu Li's, but they were not much worse. In short, it was much better than the countryside. Most of them did not have a pair of hands like Guan Xiaofang.

At first glance, they are the hands of the lower-class working people who have done too much work.

It would take three to five years of hard work to develop a pair of hands like that.

The twenty-year-old girl has the hands of a forty-year-old woman.

It seems they don’t have any!

Invisibly, most of the people in this carriage were drawn to Gu Li's camp, because most of them did not have a pair of hands like Guan Xiaofang who had been working for a long time.

Someone joked: "Oh, her hands don't look like someone who can afford meat dumplings. Where do you think that big box of dumplings came from?"

Several eyes instantly focused on the empty lunch box in front of Guan Xiaofang.

"What do you mean a box? This is already her second box of meat dumplings. I saw her devouring a whole box this morning!"

"Wow, I didn't expect she is the hedonist!"

More gazes like knives were shot at Guan Xiaofang, making her feel uneasy.

Guan Xiaofang glared at the girls who ignored her and talked about her loudly, "You are talking nonsense. I bought this myself."

"Your hardworking hands are from the grassroots working class. You don't look like someone who can afford to eat meat dumplings. Look at us, we're just eating steamed bread!"

“This is out of touch with the grassroots people!”

Guan Xiaofang gritted her teeth and said, "I'm spending my subsidy for going to the countryside, and you guys are also in charge of this?"

The people at the next table who were challenging him pouted and turned their heads to whisper something. Guan Xiaofang turned around and glared at Gu Li, "It's all because of you!"

Gu Li gave her a bewildered wink, "Didn't you start it first? Why don't you let others explain?"

"you----"

The girl next to Gu Li couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Guan Xiaofang's hand away, "I said you've taken advantage of me, and you're not done yet!"

Guan Xiaofang jumped up and was about to slap him. When did she ever get the upper hand?

But Zheng Yongguo stopped her in time, "Don't be impulsive, this is on the train, so many people are watching."

Unexpectedly, the girl next to Gu Li also had a bad temper. She jumped up and wanted to hit him, "Hey, you are so shameless. You want to hit me? Come on, I'll give you two slaps to wake you up!"

Gu Li also quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Don't do it."
