Chapter 304: Chapter 304 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 4_1

Wang Nan was woken up early in the morning, saying that they needed to find Huang Lei, and after a lengthy search and asking many people, they finally found her.

The person arrived and said this, "Don’t you know where we live?" Zhao Aoran pointed in a certain direction, clearly displeased.

Huang Lei struggled to lift her eyes to look in that direction, "How would I know that."

"After we had dinner yesterday, we got back to the dormitory at ten o’clock at night, the staff who brought us here said that we would be living here."

"I assumed you also lived nearby." She made a quick mental calculation; indeed, the location was pretty good.

A rough estimate suggested that it would take about ten minutes on foot, meaning that a certain someone couldn’t just come looking for her whenever they wanted.

They couldn’t call her over all the time either, after all, such a distance was formidable, and it wouldn’t be fair to bully her like that.

"By the way, have you had lunch?" Wang Nan remembered she still had a lot to purchase, even though she had a bit of money, it wasn’t much, and she didn’t know when her family would stop being angry, so she had to be frugal with her money.

Also, shopping required ration tickets, and Fan Xiaofei definitely didn’t have enough money or tickets, so she couldn’t let him pay.

As for Zhao Aoran, it wasn’t as if they could let him both pay and provide ration tickets, as he had already fallen out with his family over the decision to become an educated youth and couldn’t afford to spend money.

Wang Nan knew that the elderly couple, caring for Huang Nan, would definitely provide her with enough ration tickets.

"I haven’t eaten, I’ll go eat later, I need to wash clothes now." The clothes hadn’t been washed since it was too late yesterday.

"Have you done your shopping?" Wang Nan was anxious; she had just heard that the farm’s supply store had been almost entirely cleared out.

If they needed to shop, they would have to go to the county town, and walking there and back would take two hours.

"I have." Huang Lei indicated that she had already gone shopping at the supply store yesterday while waiting for the vehicle to pick them up.

Ah, Huang Lei’s words made Wang Nan’s heart sink continuously, "You’ve already shopped."

Zhao Aoran knew that Wang Nan didn’t have much money or ration tickets. While he could afford to help out with money to some extent, he didn’t have ration tickets to spare, so he hoped Huang Lei could lend a hand.

Then, unexpectedly, Huang Lei had already finished shopping, "Why did you go shopping alone?"

"And why didn’t you catch the first bus yesterday?"

"Don’t start with that, I was walking ahead, and when I heard there weren’t many buses left, I thought I’d wait for you guys."

"I’d wait for you and then we could run for it together; if we missed it, we’d catch the second bus."

"But after waiting a long time, I never saw you."

"None of you waited for me." Humph, think they could blame her? She definitely wasn’t going to take the fall for this.

Zhao Aoran hadn’t expected Huang Lei to be so defiant and not give him face, and he was quite angry, "It’s clearly your responsibility, yet you..."

"If you think it’s my responsibility, then it’s my responsibility," Huang Lei retorted.

"In your eyes, Zhao Aoran, you are never wrong; it’s always my fault."

"Fine, I didn’t get good rest, I’ll wash my clothes, and then I need to continue resting."

After confronting Zhao Aoran, she heaved a light sigh, and walked over to a dumbfounded Wang Nan, "Xiao Nan, I have already finished my shopping."

Wang Nan hadn’t expected that their failure to call for Huang Lei yesterday would have such repercussions.

She actually saw Huang Lei waiting for them yesterday and wanted to speak up, but Zhao Aoran and the others stopped her, saying they wanted to teach Huang Lei a lesson.

But who is really at a disadvantage now? Wang Nan didn’t notice Huang Nan suffering any loss; instead, it seemed like she was the one losing out.

Taking a deep breath, "Xiao Lei, do you still have any tickets?"

"Tickets?" Huang Lei shook her head, "No, I’ve bought a thermos, then I bought a washbasin, a footbath, and a laundry tub."

"And I also bought some other miscellaneous items, so my tickets are almost all used up." Huang Lei expressed with regret.

"After all, our decision to become ’educated youth’ was abrupt, and our grandparents were quite angry about it."

Hmph, why is it that your family can be angry, unhappy, and choose not to support them, while her family, on the other hand, has to provide support for her?

Wang Nan hadn’t expected Huang Lei to have bought so many things and felt that some of them were truly a waste.

But the goods were already purchased, what could she do? Stuff from the supply and marketing co-op couldn’t be returned. If they had shopped together, they would’ve definitely stopped each other.

"Xiao Lei, I’ve got no tickets. What should I do?" Wang Nan looked at Huang Lei, her expression pitiful.

Huang Lei was also visibly troubled, but after a moment’s thought, she turned to Fan Xiaofei, "Fan Xiaofei, look at Xiao Nan; she came to be an ’educated youth’ for your sake, and now that she has encountered a problem, shouldn’t you give her a little help?"

Then she turned to Zhao Aoran, "Zhao Aoran, don’t you like Xiao Nan? Now is your time to show it; you can’t cower, you need to step up."

Hmph, she knew that Fan Xiaofei and Zhao Aoran both liked Wang Nan, they just hadn’t said it outright.

As for Wang Nan, she felt there must be a gap; otherwise, why would she still turn to Zhao Aoran for help even after he had taken a wife, if not because he liked her?

This person was enjoying Zhao Aoran’s care while claiming they were just ordinary friends; Huang Lei thought her to be truly hypocritical.

They both like to pretend, don’t they? Then let’s just bust this thing wide open and see how the three of them cope.

Wang Nan was no fool, of course, she knew Zhao Aoran liked her, but she would only choose Fan Xiaofei because he was handsome, and his family wasn’t so arrogant.

She still remembered the looks she got from Zhao Aoran’s mother and sisters when she visited the Zhao family: they were full of disdain for her.

Wang Nan was also someone who valued face. How could she be willing to enter a family that didn’t like her?

Even though Fan Xiaofei’s family had fallen on hard times, she hesitated but knew that all those close to Fan Xiaofei were aware of her and Fan Xiaofei being a couple; to suddenly switch to Zhao Aoran would make everyone look down on her.

As for the people of the Zhao family, it was nothing but dislike, and dislike. She also believed that even if she got together with Zhao Aoran, he might not treat her well.

It was better to maintain the name of a good friend, she was confident that neither Zhao Aoran nor Fan Xiaofei would tear through this facade.

Indeed, they hadn’t brought the issue to light, but Huang Lei did, "Xiao Lei, I... I’m just good friends with Aoran, we don’t have that sort of relationship."

"Alright, if you think you’re friends, then you’re friends." Huang Lei looked at Zhao Aoran for a long time; he, the person directly involved, hadn’t even jumped out to offer an explanation, so why should she be anxious?

"I don’t have any tickets either. Zhao Aoran, why don’t you help out?" Huang Lei yawned.

"Oh right, when I went to the supply and marketing co-op yesterday, there wasn’t much stuff."

"You also said that the farm’s supply and marketing co-op was nearly empty; everyone will go to the county city." Huang Lei felt she really was a good person, to still remind her.

Wang Nan thought, that’s true, although it is unknown whether Zhao Aoran would give out tickets, if they didn’t go to the supply and marketing co-op in the county city, they would completely run out of supplies.

Before leaving, Fan Xiaofei turned to look back at Huang Lei; he truly found her to be strange today.

Was it because she wasn’t called upon yesterday? Or was it because they went to the dining car to eat without her?

Fan Xiaofei thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out why. He then dismissed it; an irrelevant person didn’t merit his concern.
