The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Although Liu Mengting felt disgusted, she couldn't refuse because of the hopeful look in Mei Zhi's eyes. So she had to endure the disgust and hand the water bottle to Mei Zhi, while thinking about how to make sure Mei Zhi didn't drink the water from the spout without feeling awkward.

Mei Zhi opened the kettle, took a few gulps with the spout in her mouth, making a sound, then tightened the lid, wiped her mouth in a pretentious manner, and handed the kettle to Liu Mengting.

"Thank you, Comrade Liu. You just finished eating, have some water and relax!"

Liu Mengting took the water bottle with a forced smile, glancing at the crumbs on Mei Zhi's lips, and tried hard to control her expression. "Hehehe... I'm not thirsty yet, I'll drink later!"

She then placed the kettle under the seat. Throughout the three-day, two-night journey, Liu Mengting never opened the kettle, while Mei Zhi borrowed it several times.

Nothing much went wrong during the rest of the journey. Xin Yi went to the dining car twice to buy food, but she mainly ate braised pork, eggs, and steamed buns without any vegetables. She felt unsatisfied and thought that if others knew, they would definitely say she didn't know how lucky she was.

The train announcement read: "We are approaching our final destination, Heicheng. All passengers, please take your luggage and disembark in an orderly manner!"

Although the three-day, two-night journey had left everyone exhausted, the news that they could get off the bus soon filled everyone with excitement, and they hurriedly went to get their luggage.

Having experienced the Spring Festival travel rush in her previous life, Xin Yi wasn't in a hurry at all. She just watched everyone rushing around, with someone's luggage falling to the ground one moment and bumping into someone else the next, creating a chaotic scene.

Mei Zhi looked at Xin Yi, who was sitting calmly in her seat, with surprise. She even suspected that Xin Yi wanted to return to Yucheng by the same route. But then she thought it was unlikely, so she quickly joined the crowd, grabbed her luggage, and fought with others for the order to get off the bus.

After most of the passengers had left the carriage, the passengers in Xin Yi's two rows of seats, except for Mei Zhi who had joined the main group, began to pack their luggage.

Li Bailian, carrying a small bundle, stepped lightly off the carriage, closely following Tang He, who was carrying several large bundles, while reminding him to watch his step.

Feng Xing and Liu Mengting each carried a piece of luggage. When Xin Yi took off her two large bags, the other two, seeing her thin body, offered to help her carry them.

Xin Yi may look thin, but since awakening her lightning powers, her body has been strengthened in subtle ways. While she may not be incredibly strong, she is certainly stronger than the average person.

He declined their offer, carrying a piece of luggage in each hand, and walked past them, saying, "Thanks, but you should take care of yourselves first!"

The two exchanged a glance. Well, they had been underestimated. The chubby girl explained, "This isn't just chubby; it's real, solid fat."

Feng Xing nodded in agreement.

Finally, the three of them arrived outside the station. The people who had been rushing around earlier gathered together, and when they saw that Xin Yi and the other two had finally arrived, they didn't say anything.

"You're not even eager to get off the bus. Do you think we're here for fun? A whole bunch of people are waiting for you. How can you be so shameless?"

Xin Yi looked in the direction of the sound, and thought, "That white lotus is really disgusting."

"If we wanted to leave first, you'd probably still be stuck in traffic right now!"

After looking at Liu Mengting's figure, everyone agreed with her statement.

It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but some people just wanted to make a fuss about it. Just when everyone thought the matter was over, another voice suddenly appeared.

"Little sister Yiyi, although your aunt and uncle bought you a lot of things for your trip to the countryside, you can't take up everyone's time. You should think more about others. Or if you can't carry them, you can ask me to help you. After all, I'm your older sister!"

Looking at Mei Zhi's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Xin Yi laughed in annoyance, "Help me carry it? I bet you'd rather put it in your own pocket! And don't put on this sisterly show of affection for me. I know exactly what's going on in your head. Just walk away gracefully; that's the greatest leniency I can show you!"

Liu Mengting nudged Xin Yi's shoulder, "Sister Yi Yi, what does 'walk away gracefully' mean?"

Xin Yi turned her head and said, "Get lost!"

Fortunately, she knew the background, otherwise Liu Mengting would have thought the conversation was about her.

"Sister Yiyi, you're amazing! You can insult people without using any swear words!"

Xin Yi genuinely wanted to make friends with this carefree chubby girl, so she added, "Even though some people do inhuman things, we can't treat them like they're not human! Learn from me!"

Liu Mengting nodded obediently and leaned closer to Xin Yi, clearly indicating that she would follow Xin Yi's lead.

Seeing that she couldn't get anywhere and no one was there to help her, Mei Zhi stomped her foot angrily and turned her head away.

After everyone had completely quieted down, a few older men spoke up: "Those whose names are called should go back with the corresponding village chief!"

It's just a matter of fate; Xin Yi and Mei Zhi, along with Tang He and his sister, were assigned to the same place, along with Feng Xing, Fang Yi, and Wu Lei, until the last name was called out, "Liu Mengting!"

The chubby little girl jumped up with joy, "Sister Yiyi, we're together! That's great!"

"The above eight people will go back with the village chief of Dahe Village. From now on, you will be the educated youth of Dahe Village!"

A man in his early fifties walked over and said, "I am Zhang Laifu, the village head of Dahe Village. The educated youth whose names were called earlier, come with me!"

After saying goodbye to the main group, the group took their luggage and followed Zhang Laifu to an oxcart.

"Put your luggage on the oxcart. The women can ride first, and the men can walk. If you get tired, you can switch. It's a two-hour journey ahead."

Perhaps feeling sorry for her cousin, Li Bailian quickly asked, "Why differentiate by gender? I think it should be based on body size and weight. Liu Zhiqing's physique takes up a lot of space, and walking around is good exercise for him. My cousin is weak and not suitable for walking!"

Although Tang He wanted to ride in the car, he didn't want to compete with the woman for a seat, so he quickly stopped her, saying, "Bai Lian, don't be silly. The village chief is so old and he's never ridden in a car. I can manage!"

"Then let my cousin drive the oxcart. This young man seems to be in good health; let him get off and walk!"

The young man explained, "Comrade, the oxcart isn't so easy to drive. Inexperienced people can easily lead it in the wrong direction. Besides, this is the only ox in our village, it's very precious, and we usually don't let others touch it!"

Li Bailian wanted to say something more, but seeing the dissatisfaction in Tang He's eyes, she reluctantly climbed onto the car. Her eyes kept darting between the female educated youths, and she found that none of them were good people, but she didn't think about her own problems at all.

It's getting late; if we delay any longer, it will be dark by the time we reach the village.

Zhang Laifu instructed the young man driving the cart to set off quickly, and the group headed towards Dahe Village.
