Chapter 307: Chapter 307 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 7_1

Huang Lei thought she would encounter Wang Nan and her group at dinner, then maybe they would constantly complain.

Zhao Aoran, although he also brought some ration coupons, didn’t have many, and as for cash, after Huo Huo’s spending on the train, there shouldn’t be much left.

With just that little bit of ration coupons and money, not to mention helping Wang Nan buy things, he likely couldn’t even purchase enough for himself.

When she later found out that the goods in the county supply and marketing co-op had already sold out yesterday, she was shocked.

But thinking about the somewhat empty shelves yesterday, Huang Lei understood.

But the original host had managed to buy things in the county town the second day, without having to shop in the city.

What happened? It couldn’t be because of her, could it? Huang Lei thought for a long time and felt there was only one possibility.

That was, when she went to buy things at the county supply and marketing co-op yesterday, everyone thought it was better to make good use of their time and get the shopping done to take back.

As a result, didn’t they just clear out the stock, and now their shopping today could only be done in the city?

Then the city side was also almost picked clean, and from what people said, it seemed like there wasn’t much left in the city either.

Huang Lei knew that for Wang Nan and them, this trip was a total bust; the few who didn’t buy anything would surely blame her, and of course, she knew it was so.

After finishing her meal, Huang Lei prepared to go back, only to discover that there were people around asking about cabinets.

Only then did she learn that someone in the dormitory had let slip about ordering cabinets, with some thinking that having an extra cabinet to store things was good, if only the price weren’t so high.

Some thought the price was high, but if it could be used for several years, then it wasn’t expensive, especially since it was a large item.

Worried about not having time to work tomorrow, and with daylight still remaining, some quickly went to find carpenters to place their cabinet orders.

Zhang Xia, looking at the increasingly empty dining hall, couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief, "It’s a good thing we placed our order for the cabinets this morning."

Otherwise, who knows when we’d get the cabinets? Of course, the sooner, the better when spending the same amount of money.

Han Qian also exhaled in relief, "Cabinets consume a lot of wood; what if there’s no more wood available?"

Yes, if there’s no wood, the delivery time becomes an unknown.

Huang Lei, too, sighed in relief. Fortunately, whether or not other people could get cabinets, at least hers was secure.

"The supply and marketing co-ops in the county town and the city have already sold out." Qian Lina was thankful that she snapped up a kettle and two basins yesterday.

Initially, she hadn’t wanted to buy a kettle, but at least during winter, there’d be hot water to drink.

Now she felt relieved, because otherwise, who knew when she’d be able to buy a kettle? It’s not feasible to run to the county town often.

Having had her fill of food and drink, and after chatting with her roommates and others for a while, Huang Lei followed the large group back to the dormitory.

Walking with the group, never alone in the dormitory, meant that if anything went missing, it wouldn’t be her concern.

Carrying a freshly filled kettle to the dormitory, Huang Lei truly felt tired. The work hadn’t even started yet, and carrying a water bottle was manageable, not too exhausting,

but once work began, to still have to carry a water bottle was just the thought of it was tiring.

Huang Lei, lying in bed, was full of anticipation for tomorrow. She knew that every time the farm welcomed new educated youths, they were unceremoniously put in their place, especially during the first week to teach the newcomers a lesson.

The original host had not only to do her own work but also help Wang Nan with some, because she was unwell.

This time, since they were not in the same dormitory and were so far apart, they likely wouldn’t be grouped together when tasks were assigned.

If Wang Nan felt tired, she could have Fan Xiaofei and Zhao Aoran help her. They were knights, weren’t they? Now was the time for them to prove their worth.

When everyone saw Huang Lei finish washing up, they were stunned to see her immediately lie down in bed again.

"You’re going to rest already?" Qian Lina was very puzzled.

"If not rest, then what? We’re newbies, and the way the unit treats newbies is to let you feel the heat right away."

"Even if they don’t intend to do that, have we ever farmed before?"

"It’s summer now, working under the scorching sun, do you think you can all endure it?"

Huang Lei yawned hugely, "Anyway, I’m going to rest."

Everyone agreed that this was indeed a serious issue, so they stopped the chit-chat and got ready to rest.

Just as Huang Lei was falling asleep, Wang Nan and the other two finally reached the farm.

Wang Nan’s roommates were almost ready to rest when they heard knocking on the door; reluctantly opening it, they said irritably, "Pay attention to the time next time."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Aoran immediately got upset, "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean exactly what I said." The other person wasn’t intimidated by Zhao Aoran, "You don’t even know what time it is when you go out."

"Everyone is about to sleep, so keep the noise down."

Hearing her roommate’s impolite words, Huang Lei felt an unspeakable injustice, "I, I..."

"No need to explain, if you’re coming back at this time, just stop dragging your feet."

The other person couldn’t care less about Huang Lei’s so-called explanations and turned around to go back to their room, not even deigning to look at Zhao Aoran.

Throughout the day, everything seemed to go awry; they didn’t manage to buy what they were supposed to, and after returning home, they were looked down on by a young girl.

Fan Xiaofei firmly held Zhao Aoran back, absolutely not allowing him to lose his temper and make a scene, as that would surely lead to terrible consequences.

Zhao Aoran was definitely very angry in the beginning, but as Fan Xiaofei held him, his anger subsided.

His family had some influence locally, but here it was really useless, especially for a newcomer like him. If he caused trouble on his arrival, it was obvious who would be unlucky.

Zhao Aoran watched the door close with a gloomy expression and stormed back to his dormitory, "Really a bunch of elitists."

Fan Xiaofei followed quietly behind him. If this had happened before, he would have been very angry to see someone treating him like this.

But now, having experienced even worse, his reaction was just to see through it.

Fan Xiaofei had no intention of pacifying Zhao Aoran; ever since his family’s misfortune, Zhao Aoran had been flaunting himself in front of him.

Fan Xiaofei wasn’t foolish; he knew his family’s fortunes had plummeted and that he couldn’t provide any support or aid to the Zhao Family, but would instead only drag them down.

Was Fan Xiaofei not angry? He was indeed furious, seething with anger, but other than enduring it, he still had to endure.

He actually looked forward to seeing Zhao Aoran suffer, as only that could suppress him.

After Zhao Aoran returned to his dormitory, he was in a terrible mood and made quite a racket.

The roommates who were already in bed ready to rest said, "Can you please keep it down?"

"Exactly, coming back at this hour, can’t you be a bit more considerate?"

Everyone was already put off by Zhao Aoran’s condescending way of speaking, and now he was causing even more of a disturbance.

Zhao Aoran hadn’t expected to receive the same treatment in his dormitory and of course, he couldn’t just tolerate it.
