After everything was done, no one wanted to sleep anymore. They just held their valuable luggage and stared at it, afraid that someone would steal it again.

These luggages were their entire fortune. If they were lost, they would have to rely on the state subsidies for educated youth to survive for a while. In that case, they would probably be hungry for a few days, not to mention eating enough.

Xu Ke held his black cloth bag tightly, staring at the surroundings with eyes wide open. He looked very cautious.

Jiang Yunyao was helpless. She could understand the feeling of losing and regaining something. But she didn't need to be so nervous. After the thief was caught, other thieves would not dare to commit crimes. Moreover, she seemed to be sitting in the window seat. The thief must have stolen from her first.

Alas, she was really drunk.

She no longer paid attention to Xu Ke who was startled beside her. She covered her face with the book, as if she was sleeping. In fact, she was paying attention to a girl with fair skin and soft and cute look sitting next to Qi Hong through the seam of the book.

Qi Hong was talking to her with concern. The girl answered in a low voice, and from time to time she looked up at Zhao Ning who looked impatient, as if she was very afraid of her.

She took the book off her face and turned around to ask the know-it-all girl Xu Ke, but she was speechless as she stared intently at a very strong man in front of her who didn't look like a good guy. Xu Ke saw her turn around and whispered in her ear, "Comrade Jiang, do you think that man doesn't look like a good guy? Should I tell the train attendant? What if he is a thug?"

Jiang Yunyao felt like a Buddha. They were in Northeast China. Nine out of ten Northeast men were like this. Could it be that all of them were thugs?

She stopped her impulse to get up from her seat, "Comrade Xu Ke, look around, are there many people like him?"

"Now that you mention it, it's true." Jiang Yunyao was just about to feel relieved that the girl finally came to her senses, but she was choked by her next sentence before she could even breathe.

"Do you think they have discussed it? Do they want to blow up the train? No, I have to report it to the conductor."

Jiang Yunyao supported her forehead and easily suppressed her. She didn't want to see Xu Ke being looked at by the conductor as if he were mentally retarded, and she didn't want to be looked at in the same way.

"Comrade Xu Ke, I understand that as a southern girl, you don't understand the height and majesty of our northern men, but they are really not thugs, they just look a little tall and fierce."

"Really?" Xu Ke was half-believing and half-doubting.

"Really."

"Okay,...I believe you." Xu Ke's tone was hesitant.

Emm, why did she feel that she still didn't believe it? Forget it, believe it or not, she was too lazy to care anymore. Anyway, she had suppressed Xu Ke's heart to report it. The big brother would not lose a few pieces of meat if he was stared at a few times, so let her do it.

Xu Ke glanced at the man again. Perhaps because the man felt her fiery gaze, his dark skin blushed, and he grinned at Xu Ke very embarrassedly, silly and stupid.

Xu Ke was stunned by this eye-catching smile. She quickly looked away, her little face was about to be twisted into a bitter face, and she kept saying: "I believe you, I really believe you."

She really didn't expect that man to look so fierce, and she didn't expect him to be a pure lover.

What a sin.

"Do you know the girl sitting next to Comrade Qi Hong? It seems that Zhao Ning dislikes her." The girl was sitting quietly in her seat, eating her dry food without making any noise. She was quiet and pretty. If Jiang Yunyao hadn't accidentally glanced at her just now, she wouldn't have noticed her. Her presence was really too low.

Xu Ke glanced over there and answered casually, "Ask her. Her name is Lin Ling, and she is also from Hai City. However, her father is a national capitalist and was labeled as one of the five black categories, so she became one of the five black categories. I usually don't associate with her. Of course, it's not because of her background, but because she always ignores me when I talk to her, which makes me very embarrassed. Over time, I just pretend that she doesn't exist."

Jiang Yunyao tapped her fingers on the book.

Xu Ke was puzzled, "By the way, why did you suddenly ask her about it? Although we don't care about her background, Zhao Ning is extremely annoying. He always brings up her background. A big reason why we don't like Zhao Ning is that she always bullies Lin Ling."

"Then you Have you ever seen Zhao Ning bullying Lin Ling? "

"That's not the case," Xu Ke thought for a while and shook his head. "It's just that we always see Zhao Ning speaking ill of her, so we think she must have been bullied again. And she doesn't know what she thinks. She always keeps her head down and keeps saying no. We speak for her, but she ignores us. But Sister Qi takes good care of her."

"Is that so?"

Xu Ke was still confused. "Comrade Jiang, why did you suddenly ask about her? To be honest, if you hadn't asked, I would have forgotten that she was also an educated youth who went to Daye Village with us."

"It's okay. I just feel that she doesn't like to talk much, which is quite strange."

Xu Ke agreed with this and fell silent again, holding her bag.

Jiang Yunyao looked at Lin Ling coldly from behind the book. She noticed her not because Zhao Ning always spoke ill of her.

But because when the thief was stealing, she accidentally glanced over there through the slit of the book, and was surprised to find that the girl looked at Zhao Ning who was sleeping with resentment, and even looked at Qi Hong with a bad look. Moreover, she clearly saw the thief stealing their things but kept silent, and even smiled at the corner of her mouth, as if she was very happy to see their things being stolen.

This girl has been bullied by Zhao Ning but she kept silent. It is obvious that she is enduring it. People who can endure it for so long are either very scheming or extremely cowardly. Judging from this situation, it is obviously the former.

It is not easy to endure it so much. Jiang Yunyao looked away and thought about it. It seems that she should pay more attention to her in the future. She obviously hates all of them. She may bite them back at any time.

She has no control over the grudge between her and Zhao Ning, and she will not care about it. But if she fails to grasp the degree and harms others, or even involves herself, she will not sit idly by.

Nothing happened from then on until the Changbai Mountain Station.

------

"We've arrived at the station," Jiang Yunyao looked at Xu Ke, who was sleeping soundly beside him, speechlessly. She had been told to be alert, but she was sleeping soundly, unmoved by thunder.

Xu Ke did not respond.

Jiang Yunyao packed her luggage and found that Xu Ke was still sleeping. She poked her helplessly a few times, and it was not until the fifth time that she woke her up.

"Hmm," Xu Ke woke up slowly, rubbed her eyes with her right hand, and looked at Jiang Yunyao with a pair of beautiful eyes in a sleepy state, "Comrade Jiang, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Yunyao rolled her eyes in an indecent manner, "Please, Comrade Xu Ke, we have arrived at the station, and the noise of so many people cleaning up did not wake you up, I can only use coercive measures."

"Yes, Xiao Ke," Qi Hong walked to them with his things, "You are the most sound sleeper," and smiled kindly after saying that.

"Ah?" Xu Ke shook her head embarrassedly, "Then why didn't you wake me up last night? I am so embarrassed."

It was clearly agreed that each of them would keep watch for a while, but she was the only one who slept so deeply, which was really a pity.

"We saw you were sleeping so soundly, so we didn't disturb you. After all, if we want to wake you up, we have to put a gong next to your ear and hit it hard." The speaker was Chu Zhou, a Northeastern educated youth with two braids and a very magnanimous way of speaking. She came halfway, but because she was very generous and open-minded, she quickly became friends with Xu Ke, who liked to make a fuss and make friends.

"Hahaha." Chu Zhou laughed after she finished speaking. It was just the kind of teasing between very well-intentioned friends. The other female educated youth also smiled.

"Okay, comrade Chu Zhou, now you start to tease me, let me see how I deal with you." Xu Ke was also a playful person. He picked up the large and small bags of luggage and chased Chu Zhou off the train with difficulty.

They smiled at each other and got off the train closely.

As soon as they got off the train, they heard the person who came to pick them up shouting with a loudspeaker, "Comrades who are going to Daye Village, we are here," the speaker was a middle-aged man with a friendly face, and he waved at them, "Welcome to Jilin Province, you have worked hard on the way, come over quickly."

They walked towards them with large and small bags, and at the same time, several male educated youth got off from another carriage and gathered together and went there.

"Comrades, are you all going to our Daye Village to work in the countryside?" The man asked and confirmed it first. In previous years, there were also young people who went to the countryside, but because they had never been far away, they foolishly went to another village, or the original village counted the number of people and found that one person was missing, and it took a lot of effort to take that person to the place where he was supposed to go to the countryside.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they have become accustomed to asking and confirming first.

"Yes." Everyone said in unison. After receiving their reply, the man counted the number of people and found that it was correct. Then he waved his finger at the group of people behind him, "Come on, everyone help these educated youth comrades move their luggage and put it on the ox carts behind."

"Okay," several strong men responded, and took over their large and small bags neatly and put them all on several ox carts.

"Comrades, I would like to express my gratitude for your long journey to come here to help build Daye Village. However, we have limited ox carts. How about this? A few female comrades sit on the ox carts, and a few male comrades follow behind."

"Since you know it's not enough, why don't you find a few more? We are almost dead tired from sitting in the carts, how can we have the energy to walk again?" A short, thin male educated youth wearing glasses complained, and the other male educated youths were silent.
