Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 3_1

With luggage on her shoulder and in hand, Huang Lei followed the large group as they all disembarked from the train step by step.

Although this wasn’t the final stop, most of the passengers were getting off here.

Just as Huang Lei was about to regroup with Wang Nan and the others, she heard someone shout ahead, "Hurry up, the farm has sent trucks to pick us up."

"There aren’t many, though, so if you’re slow, you’ll have to wait for the next round."

Upon hearing this, everyone became anxious. It was already past three in the afternoon. After picking up people and heading back to the farm, there was no telling when the second group would arrive.

No one wanted to be in the second group to go to the farm; everyone was tired and hungry, and nobody was willing to wait.

Despite their fatigue and the heavy burdens on their backs, they all swarmed out in a rush.

Just as Huang Lei was deciding whether to wait for Wang Nan and the rest, she saw Zhao Aoran and Fan Xiaofei pulling her forward to run.

Alright then, Huang Lei thought about how it must have been the same back when the original owner was in this situation. However, at that time, Wang Nan and the others had told Huang Lei to keep up the pace, but this time, they didn’t say anything.

Alright then, since they hadn’t called out to her, she couldn’t be bothered to run after them. Carrying luggage on her back and in hand was really a significant burden for the slightly overweight Huang Lei.

The original owner had the motivation to sprint forward, but the current Huang Lei really wasn’t keen to do so. Running that fast was just too exhausting.

Especially considering, what was the benefit of catching the same truck with Wang Nan and the others? She would end up in the same dormitory, and then there was no way to keep her distance from them.

She had already decided to gradually distance herself from them, so sharing a dormitory was out of the question.

While some were sprinting ahead, Huang Lei’s casual stroll surprised many people.

A girl couldn’t help but ask, "Why aren’t you running?"

"There aren’t many trucks, and a lot of people have already run ahead. Do you think we’ll still find one if we go now?"

"Running until we’re out of breath, only to get outside and see that all the trucks are gone, seems pointless. Better to take it slow."

Those who had been rushing forward paused at her words and, thinking it over, began to slow down as well.

When they finally got outside, they just caught a glimpse of the last truck driving away.

Huang Lei looked around and didn’t see Wang Nan and the rest. Well, they must have managed to catch the trucks.

Since that was the case, it was time to wait. After confirming with the farmworkers left behind that it would be over three hours before the truck would return to pick people up, Huang Lei asked where the nearby supply shop was.

Although she had brought a good number of things, there were still some items she hadn’t prepared. The Huang family elders had given her some money and food coupons so she could buy things at the supply shop after arriving.

Originally, the four of them had done everything together, and the original owner had ended up playing the nice, kindhearted person, using her coupons to buy things primarily for Wang Nan.

But in Zhao Aoran’s mouth, the original owner had only contributed a few coupons, while he had provided the money.

Nobody seemed to consider that in those days, coupons were often more important than cash.

This time, if she was going to be in the second wave to the farm anyway, she might as well get everything ready and take it all back to the farm in one go, so she could have a proper rest the next day.

Huang Lei went to the supply shop as instructed and saw several others heading there after a moment’s thought.

With three more hours until a truck would take them back to the farm, it didn’t make sense to just wait idly here; they preferred to see if the supply shop had anything they needed.

Upon reaching the supply shop, Huang Lei pulled out the shopping list that the original owner had prepared long ago.

Looking at the items on the list, Huang Lei couldn’t help but sigh softly. What a naive child the original owner had been, wanting to buy things for Wang Nan despite having so few food coupons herself.

The original owner might have considered her, but Huang Lei now would not. After buying what was needed, she carefully stored the remaining coupons and money.

"These tickets are only going to expire in a few years, so it’s better to keep them and use them when needed."

When she passed by the post office, Huang Lei remembered that she hadn’t written a letter to notify her family. Although she knew there wouldn’t be a problem since the neighborhood committee would have informed them otherwise.

But it was proper to notify them by letter, so Huang Lei rummaged through her bag, quickly wrote one telling them she had arrived at the farm, and then mailed it.

After buying what she needed and sending the letter to reassure her family, Huang Lei finally returned to the train station with her bags.

She didn’t have to wait long at the station before the vehicle pulled up.

It was the same type of vehicle, but most people had left in the previous batch, so this time it wasn’t crowded, and everyone could sit down to rest for a bit, making one sigh with relief.

When the vehicle entered the farm, Huang Lei thought they were going to the dormitory first, but to her surprise, they ended up being taken to the canteen.

Everyone looked at the large building in front of them, wondering what place it was.

The farm staff shouted from below, "Everyone come down, it’s getting late. Have something to eat, then we’ll take you to the dormitory."

Hearing that there was food available, nobody hurried to the dormitory since it was nearby anyway, and eating was more important.

After a group of people had their fill, they picked up their luggage and followed the farm staff to the dormitory.

Huang Lei just followed the crowd, thinking everything should be fine. Although it most likely wouldn’t be the same dormitory she lived in before, she figured it was probably nearby.

To her astonishment, as they walked, she realized they weren’t headed to the familiar area. Had it not been for the group ahead, she might have thought they were being led astray.

After a long walk, they finally stopped in front of a group of dark buildings.

"This is where you’ll be staying."

"Eight people per dormitory."

"You’re free to choose your roommates."

Ah, eight people? Didn’t I used to live in a dormitory for ten people? Why is it for eight people this time?

Has the room size been reduced?

Huang Lei hesitated, then slowly entered. Compared to the ten-person room, it was about the same size. This meant the rooms were larger, but housed fewer people—which couldn’t help but be pleasing.

Although she didn’t know what kind of temper her roommates would have in the coming years, as long as she stayed away from Wang Nan, it would be fine.

Huang Lei chose a spot near the window. Although wind would come in through the window in winter, it meant better air.

The room seemed to have been simply tidied up before, not very clean, but livable.

After arranging her things briefly, Huang Lei made her bed, washed up a bit, and then lay down to rest.

Because it was late when she rested, and they were told they could get a good rest today, go shopping if they needed to go shopping.

Naturally, Huang Lei chose to rest straight away since she had already bought what she needed and sent off the letter.

When she woke up again, it was already noon. She yawned, grabbed her toiletries, and prepared to freshen up.

"Xiao Lei," Wang Nan rushed over, grabbing Huang Lei, "You, how come you’re living here..."

Just awakened, Huang Lei was still a bit groggy, "If not here, where should I live?"

She yawned again. Although she had rested for a while, she still felt so tired.
