Chapter 4

Perhaps it was because Xia Chenxi had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, or perhaps it was because everyone was giving face to her father, Xia Chenxi imagined that she would be dragged into a fight. The loud and harsh reprimand did not happen. After she reflected on her mistake, someone spoke up for her.

This battle of self-criticism ended in a very harmonious atmosphere. Xia Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief when the tragic things that she had imagined did not happen.

At the venue, several Party Committee members spoke one after another. They all expressed their satisfaction with Xia Juan's attitude in admitting her mistake. They also pointed out that the class struggle couldn't be relaxed and that the masses must be firm in their beliefs and adhere to the guidance of the great leader.

Liu Hong nudged Jiang Lingling, who was next to her, and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect her to really write a self-criticism letter in front of so many people.

Lingling, did she apologize to you when you went to see her this afternoon? "

Jiang Lingling went to see Xia Juan, but Jiang Lingling didn't say what she said at Xia Juan's house. Liu Hong followed her because she was worried that Xia Juan would bully her again. Seeing that she was fine, she asked a few questions. Jiang Lingling didn't tell her in detail, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Now that she heard Xia Juan's explanation, Liu Hong still couldn't believe it.

Xia Juan was shrewish and domineering. How could she change so quickly? She must be acting.

Jiang Lingling looked at Xia Juan, who was seriously reading the self-criticism letter on stage. To be honest, she admired her. It wasn't easy to do a self-criticism in front of so many people. Jiang Lingling's unhappiness towards her disappeared.

Seeing that Jiang Lingling was staring at the stage and didn't respond to her, Liu Hong said angrily, "I'm talking to you. What's wrong with you?

Don't forget how she treated you in the past. I think she did it on purpose. "

Among the six educated youths in the Yiliang Brigade, there were three boys and three girls. Among the girls, Liu Hong was the oldest at 18 years old, Wang Zhenzhen was the second, and Jiang Lingling was the youngest at 16 years old. Liu Hong usually took good care of them. Jiang Lingling knew that Liu Hong was doing this for her own good. She smiled and said, "Sister Liu Hong, I think Xia Juan really wants to turn over a new leaf. I think it's good that she thinks this way."

Liu Hong rolled his eyes and shook his head. "You're too easy to talk to. Let me tell you, it's hard to change one's nature. Who knows if she's pretending or not?

In any case, I don't believe that she really wants to correct her mistakes! "

If she really knew that she was wrong, why didn't she apologize to Jiang Lingling in person? Why did she hold a meeting instead?

Liu Hong saw that Jiang Lingling looked as if she had completely forgiven Xia Juan and knew that it was useless to say anything. He looked at Xia Juan on the stage and snorted coldly.

Everyone was in the same production team and saw each other frequently. Xia Juan was also Secretary Xia's daughter. No matter what happened in the past, since she promised to work hard, everyone still respected her.

After the meeting, Xia Chenxi walked over to Jiang Lingling. "Jiang Lingling …"

When Liu Hong saw her coming over, she stood in front of Jiang Lingling like a hen protecting her chick. She looked at her warily and asked, "What do you want?"

Seeing that she was full of thorns and was so vigilant, Xia Chenxi sighed in her heart. It seemed that the original owner of this body had left a bad impression on others. Even if she did a self-reflection, there were still people who didn't believe her. There was still a long way to go to change other people's views of her!

"Sister Liu Hong, I don't want to do anything," Xia Chenxi said with a smile. As soon as the other party spoke, she already knew who it was.

There were a total of six educated youths in their team. This person spoke Sichuan dialect, so she must be the female educated youth from Sichuan, Liu Hong.

To Xia Chenxi's surprise, Liu Hong was very tall and looked like a northern girl. She was half a head taller than Jiang Lingling.

"Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, don't you dare bully Lingling."

Liu Hong stared at her every move. As long as she dared to lay a hand on Jiang Lingling, she would definitely teach her a lesson!

Liu Hong was very prejudiced against her. Xia Chenxi knew that no matter what she said or did, Liu Hong would think that she had ulterior motives. She turned her eyes to Jiang Lingling and said sincerely, "I know that everyone has a bad impression of me. I won't say anything else. After a long time, you'll know whether I'm telling the truth or not. See you later."

Liu Hong nudged Jiang Lingling. "What does she mean?

Did the sun rise from the west? "

Jiang Lingling smiled shyly and looked at Xia Juan's back. "Maybe she really changed."

"Isn't that good?

Sister Liu Hong, I know you're worried about me. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Xia Juan isn't a man-eating monster. Don't worry. "

Liu Hong knew that she had completely let go of her grudge against Xia Juan. She reached out and rubbed her head. "You're too soft-hearted and kind. If you act like this, everyone will dare to bully you in the future."

Xia Chenxi didn't leave with the Xia family. She lagged behind alone. Now that she had let go of her psychological burden, she felt very relaxed.

She was surrounded by low mud houses. The air seemed to be mixed with the smell of livestock manure. The waning moon hung in the sky above her, elongating her shadow.

This was the 1970s. Until now, Xia Chenxi still couldn't figure out why she was here when she woke up.

As a person born in the 1980s, she didn't know much about this period of history. However, it was already 1974. Even if the novel was a fictional novel, the general direction of the plot was still nonsense. Now, it wasn't far from the end of the epidemic.

The more Xia Chenxi thought about it, the more she wanted to laugh. She had become a person born in the 1950s, and now she was still in the countryside of 1974. If this were to spread, her friends would definitely say that she was delusional and masochistic!

Xia Chenxi thought of her parents again. Her face was very indifferent, and she didn't feel the pain of parting.

She grew up in a patriarchal family. When she was in primary school, her parents secretly gave birth to a son outside. They didn't bring him back until he was five or six years old. After that … Xia Chenxi shook her head. She really didn't have any nostalgia for that family.

Xia Chenxi stood silently for a while. Only when the wind blew did she slowly walk home. Just as she passed by the cowshed, a person suddenly appeared from the side. The person even pulled her hand. Xia Chenxi was startled and raised her hand to hit him.

The person probably didn't expect to be hit. He was stunned for a moment. When Xia Chenxi came back to her senses, she was burning with anger. Someone was actually acting like a hooligan?

"Help … someone is acting like a hooligan!"

Xia Chenxi immediately shouted. The person was startled by her words and quickly reached out to cover her mouth. He said, "Don't shout … I'm not a hooligan …"

Unfortunately, Xia Chenxi was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. She wholeheartedly believed that the person was a hooligan and didn't listen to him at all.

When the person saw that she was hitting and shouting, he just wanted to restrain her so that she wouldn't make any noise and attract people over.

This was a cowshed, and the nearest family was dozens of meters away. Xia Chenxi was shocked and scared, but the person's grip was so strong that she couldn't break free at all. However, she heard that the person seemed to be very young and quite strong.

At this time, the difference in strength between a man and a woman was obvious. Xia Chenxi felt a little desperate. Was she going to have to bear an even more tragic result before she could start a new life?

Afraid that the person in front of her would hurt her, Xia Chenxi used all her strength to kick and hit him. For a moment, the other party couldn't do anything to her.

During the tussle, she bit him. When he let go of her hand, she shouted again, but her mouth was covered again. For a moment, she could only make muffled sounds.

Although the weather wasn't hot yet, there were already mosquitoes, so Gu Yanqing didn't fall asleep.

Not long after she lay down, she seemed to hear someone shouting for help outside. Then, it disappeared. Gu Yanqing got up and put on her clothes to listen carefully. Not long after, the sound came again!

This time, she was sure that she didn't hear wrongly. Gu Yanqing immediately got out of bed, picked up a shoulder pole, and walked softly to the place where the sound came from.

"Stop shouting. What if someone comes over?" The man deliberately lowered his voice and complained in a low muffled voice.

Xia Chenxi glared at him fiercely. She wanted to remember this person, but it was too dark in this corner. She could only see the person's vague outline. For a moment, she didn't know who the person in front of her was.

Sure enough, there was someone!

Gu Yanqing understood the situation at a glance. She quickly walked up, raised the shoulder pole, and swung it at the hooligan.

At that moment, the man who was holding down Xia Chenxi quickly let go of her and rolled away. He ran into the vast night without looking back.

Gu Yanqing chased after him. However, the other party seemed to be very familiar with this place and had good stamina. After Gu Yanqing followed him to the pond, she lost him.

Xia Chenxi didn't expect to encounter such a thing at all!

She was now like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes were flustered. Her neatly combed hair had been messed up in the scuffle. Although her clothes were still on her body, they were wrinkled.

Gu Yanqing didn't catch up with the person. Thinking that the victim's condition was unknown, he had no choice but to turn back.

He thought that she had already left, but he didn't expect her to still be sitting in the same spot.

Xia Chenxi had never experienced such a thing before. After the crisis was averted, she still hadn't recovered from her shock. She sat in the same spot to catch her breath and clear her mind.

"Are you okay?" The man who saved her walked in front of her. There was a hint of worry in his voice.

Xia Chenxi caught her breath and shook her head. "I'm fine. Where's the bad guy?"

"He ran away. We didn't catch him.

He should be very familiar with the village. "Gu Yanqing told the truth and gave his own speculation.

Xia Chenxi's expression was a little bad. She patted her clothes and stood up. She looked at him and said seriously, "Thank you.

What happened tonight, can you … "

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Gu Yanqing didn't wait for her to finish. He knew what she wanted to say. When encountering such a thing, the girl was always the one at a disadvantage.
