Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 250: World of Ages 2: Speech

Not to mention the rural environment. It’s not that the environment is bad, but she is not adapted to that kind of life.

Apart from anything else, it was impossible for the educated youth who went to the countryside to get their own houses, so all the female educated youth had to live together. This was definitely a nightmare for Zuo Zhizhi!

She already feels very uncomfortable living with her family, let alone getting along with strangers she doesn’t know. It’s absolutely torture!

What's more, accidents are more likely to happen when there are too many people, especially when they are spoiled at home. If they suddenly bump into each other, it's a good thing if they don't fight!

Therefore, for Zuo Zhizhi, she must find a way to stay in the city no matter what.

If finding a job is a little difficult, there is still a barely reliable way, which is to marry someone who has a job.

Although staying in the city like this may not necessarily lead to a good outcome, at least there is hope.

So after observing for a period of time, Zuo Zhizhi felt that her deskmate Gu Jiqing was a good candidate.

Gu Jiqing's appearance does not conform to the current aesthetic standards. He looks a bit like a pretty boy and is not popular.

In addition, he is not very cautious with his words, so he doesn't look like a kind and honest person.

Although his family is well-off and there is a high possibility that his family will find him a job, due to the two reasons mentioned above, not many people are willing to work hard for him.

Zuo Zhizhi only tried to contact him a few times and found that this person did not have any shortcomings that she could not tolerate, so the two of them naturally began to fall in love.

But in this era, reputation is more important than anything else, so the two of them were very careful and didn't tell anyone.

Even the parents of both parties were unaware of this matter!

Zuo Zhizhi thought it through very thoroughly. Now she still had more than a year before she graduated, or before she was forced to go to the countryside.

If Gu Jiqing's approach works, then there's no problem. If not, I can change my target in time.

But now it seems that Gu Jiqing really doesn't have any serious problems.

He looks handsome, which is not the current aesthetic, but Zuo Zhizhi thinks it is not bad.

He is not a male chauvinist. Sometimes when Zuo Zhizhi asks him for a favor or pouring water, he will take the initiative to do it.

It's not perfect, but there's nothing wrong with it!

Until the get out of class was over, the two rushed to the cafeteria as fast as they could. After all, all the students in the school had to eat at this time, and if they didn't hurry up, they would go hungry!

Zuo Zhizhi found a good seat skillfully, while Gu Jiqing took the initiative to buy food for the two of them.

In fact, there was nothing delicious in school, just ordinary steamed buns made of two-grain flour, but that was already pretty good.

Gu Jiqing would also bring some food from home. Although the dishes were average, they were already very good considering the current conditions.

Zuo Zhizhi didn't dislike it either. After all, she had to get used to eating it for such a long time. But she was really uncomfortable not eating meat for a long time, so she quietly took out the dried meat that she had prepared long ago from her pocket.

A small bag of dried meat was certainly not enough for two people, but they didn't mind. They quickly finished their meal and then went outside to chat.

"Zhizhi, I have two movie tickets. Let's go to the movies together this weekend!"

Zuo Zhizhi nodded. After all, there really weren't many ways to relax and have fun in this era. Having a movie to watch was already pretty good!

Although I have seen the movie before, it is good news to have time to go out and play.

The two chatted for a while and then hurried back to the classroom when it was time for class.

However, the student in front turned his head and discussed the issue of going to the countryside with Zuo Zhizhi in a low voice.

"Our neighbor is three years older than us, and he's already married in the countryside! We agreed not to get married, but we didn't expect that after such a short time, he'd already given up!"

Perhaps it was a bit sad. Liu Lili had already said this to all the classmates, but Zuo Zhizhi had not come back yet, so she heard it at this time.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh with the other students: "I never thought something like this would happen!"

"Who says she isn't? She was a beauty in our alley before. Everyone knew she was smart and capable! And she had already been admitted to the cannery, but she had to give her spot to her brother, so she was forced to go to the countryside! I thought she would get a spot back home, but who knew she would end up like this now!"

Speaking of this, Liu Lili shook her head unconsciously. It seemed that she also felt that this girl was too pitiful!

Zuo Zhizhi did not continue to agree. After all, she did not know this person at all. Moreover, such things were not uncommon these days!

It was not until the bell rang that Liu Lili turned her head away with a look of unfulfilled desire. However, this matter would probably be the topic of his conversation for the next few days and he would never stop.

Sure enough, starting from the afternoon, all kinds of terrifying rumors about going to the countryside spread among the classmates around.

For example, one person was coerced into going to the countryside, another was signed up by their stepmother, and some simply embezzled the resettlement fees...

Whether true or false, these remarks always leave a mark in everyone’s mind!

Although everyone was initially asked to go to the countryside with high hopes for the future, as time went on, everyone realized that going to the countryside was not just talk.

They need to take root completely in the countryside. They are just ordinary rural people, with their own one and a half acres of land, and with the help of relatives and neighbors, they can always survive!

What's more, we are all from the same village, so it is naturally impossible for us to go too far.

But it’s not the same for educated youth who go to the countryside!

We had never done physical labor in the city before, so suddenly we went to the countryside and were asked to farm. It was really hard to get used to it!

However, when educated youth went to the countryside and registered their household registration there, they also had to occupy a share of food, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among everyone in the village!

If there are a few more people stirring up trouble, a dispute between the two sides is inevitable!

As for what you might encounter when you go to the countryside, although it’s not 100% certain, it’s very likely!

We have heard so many of these horrific remarks that it is hard to feel at ease now.

So word of this horrific statement spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and it began to spread.

Zuo Zhizhi also joined the discussion with other girls, but apart from occasionally agreeing with a few words, she did not actively participate!

After all, my boyfriend has job opportunities, so I can be sure that I can stay.

Even if this method doesn't work, Zuo Zhizhi will think of other ways. She certainly won't just sit there and wait for death!

There is no other way. I have enough golden fingers. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don’t need to be forced to go to the countryside!

This kind of talk did not stop, and everyone would discuss it during every break. Although the teacher wanted to appease everyone, it was a pity that it did not have much effect!
