Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262: Going to the Countryside 1

Now that Han Aiguo wanted to marry a senior official but ended up with a guard several years her junior, it could make Wu Xiaoxiao laugh for three days straight.

It wasn’t that Wu Xiaoxiao looked down on the guards of the old leaders, she absolutely did not think that way, but honestly, how could the status and prospects of a guard compare with those of an army commander? Not to mention comparing with Han Aiguo’s ex-husband.

Hao Xiaomei was slightly stunned upon hearing the ins and outs from Wu Xiaoxiao and couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

"Why bother with someone like Han Aiguo?"

"I just can’t get over it. When she’s unlucky, I’m overjoyed." Wu Xiaoxiao said earnestly, "Back then, she laughed behind our backs at my siblings and me, making fun of my dad for being cuckolded, infuriating my grandparents so much that they were ashamed to leave the house for a long time. Later, she mocked you for marrying up, people like her deserve to be struck by lightning!"

Hao Xiaomei softly said, "You are the Jade Vase, and she is a rat. To kill a rat by knocking over a Jade Vase is inappropriate! She’s already in this state; if you kick her while she’s down, she’ll surely hold a grudge against you."

Wu Xiaoxiao hummed in acknowledgement, indicating that she took the advice to heart.

Thinking of what her good friend Yang Fengying once told her, and the letters exchanged between them, Hao Xiaomei smiled and said, "I’ve heard that Comrade Lu Jiang and his wife Qingxue have an exceptional revolutionary relationship. It gives off a feeling that makes one envy their bond more than immortality itself. They had triplets last year. Lu Jiang was quick to report it directly to the old leaders; otherwise, who knows what the outcome would have been."

Living in the Capital, she understood better than anyone that evil people are evil because their hearts are black as ink, their lungs rotten as a sieve, and their guts as vile as snakes and scorpions, able to inexplicably attach a hundred crimes to an innocent person and then ruin you.

Han Ping and his daughter were just the kind of people who did such things. Han Aiguo’s husband, Zheng Heping, couldn’t tolerate her framing good people, which led to their divorce.

After hearing Hao Xiaomei’s words, Wu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "I was wandering aimlessly with my dad, and we happened to see the photo of Lu Jiang’s triplets, two identical, and one that looks like a little girl—so beautiful, more so than any little girl, irresistibly adorable. I should visit Jiang Xiaoyue sometime; that impudent girl doesn’t contact me unless she needs to. Her revolutionary comrade, Lu Tianjun, is actually the nephew of Comrade Lu Jiang."

"Is that so? What a coincidence!" Hao Xiaomei was incredulous, and then said, "Speaking of Xiaoyue, it just dawned on me, Zheng Huihui is leaving. She has a ticket for tomorrow’s train; you should go see her off and bring her some food, necessities, and Grain Tickets."

Zheng Huihui is another friend of Wu Xiaoxiao’s, not from a big compound, but a schoolmate, and their relationship is comparatively good.

"Huihui is leaving? Where to?" How come all her close friends were leaving the Capital now? At the beginning of the year during the draft, many people were arranged by their families to enlist, and now Zheng Huihui was also leaving.

Hao Xiaomei whispered, "Isn’t this to answer the call to go to the vast countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle farmers? Each household can only keep one jobless child at home. Zheng Yuanyuan secretly registered the names of her younger siblings, planning to stay at home herself and wait to take over her mother’s job at the textile mill."

Zheng Yuanyuan is Zheng Huihui’s older sister, very shrewd and tough.

While others were actively responding to the call to go up to the mountains and down to the countryside, Zheng Yuanyuan did not want to go, so she resorted to this tactic.

With both younger siblings sent to the countryside, she would be the only one left at home, and everything would be hers.

Twenty-year-old Zheng Huihui and sixteen-year-old Zheng Taotao, who had just finished middle school, were assigned to different places: the former to Huaibei City, and the latter to Laoshantun in the Northeast.

Zheng Huihui was the first to leave, accompanied by a group of young men and women, all allocated to Huaibei City, though their specific destinations varied.
