Free Web NovelChapter 2196: Chapter 2197: The Capitalist Miss Cousin 16
Hearing footsteps outside, Zhang Yu groggily got up and glanced at the sky; oh wow, the sun was already high up.
No way, am I going to be late? Zhang Yu immediately got up, dressing while waking Zhang Hui.
Yesterday this girl was quiet the whole way, and after returning to the hotel she was also very quiet. Luckily, she knew to take a shower and wash her hair, and of course, left her clothes for washing too.
After showering, she sat quietly on the bed thinking about things. As for when she fell asleep, Zhang Yu really had no idea, because after washing her clothes and hanging them up, she went straight to sleep.
These past few days, lying under the train seat, legs and feet were curled up, couldn’t stretch at all, so she didn’t rest well either.
Resting on a long-missed bed, Zhang Yu just wanted to say, comfortable, slept till dawn, truly blissful.
Zhang Hui thought for most of the night, always considering what to do next. Although she knew tomorrow would be tough, she really couldn’t sleep. In the end, she didn’t know when she fell asleep either. ƒrēewebnovel.com
When Zhang Yu woke her up, she was still in a daze, took out her watch to check the time, "It’s only seven o’clock now, we’re meeting at half-past eight, right?"
Hearing that it was only seven o’clock, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Yes, half-past eight, but do we still need to go have breakfast?"
Although they brought dumplings and buns back yesterday, she just discovered that the dumplings were all gone, and only one bun was left. Only the two of them were staying in the room, besides Zhang Hui eating, who else could it be?
Zhang Hui acknowledged, "I ate them."
Although Zhang Yu knew besides her there was no one else who could eat them, she was still quite surprised to confirm it. According to the original memory, this one’s appetite wasn’t large.
What’s going on? Was the original memory wrong? But before, at home, Zhang Yu also noticed Zhang Hui’s appetite wasn’t big, just having a bit for each meal.
Cooking separately? Shouldn’t be, although she didn’t cook, she’d notice that besides three regular meals, Zhang Hui didn’t go to the kitchen to make food.
Could it be Zhang Hui eating snacks or pastries while alone in her room? Seems possible, after all, having a room to herself, secretly eating wouldn’t be noticed.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu suddenly understood, so this so-called small appetite was due to regular snacking, pastries must be better than meals, even Xue Lei couldn’t overly favor her in a large family meal.
"Then we need to go to the state-run restaurant for breakfast."
"Hurry up and pack up." Zhang Yu knew if she didn’t push Zhang Hui, who knows how long she’d drag it out, "We need to go for breakfast and then buy lunch."
"Also, we don’t know when we’ll reach the commune. Yesterday the restaurant said if we take an ox cart, it takes four hours, just don’t know how we should go down."
Yesterday they got to the county by truck from the city. With many people, two trucks could bring them back, but for the commune, it’s uncertain.
If taking an ox cart, they’d still need a commune cart to come over, otherwise, how to go down.
Oh dear, thinking about it gave Zhang Yu a headache, packing while talking away.
Zhang Hui, who hadn’t completely woken up, gradually became more alert listening to Zhang Yu’s ramblings, glanced at her folding clothes, and felt she was the same as before, nagging when stuff happened, even if everyone thought it was too much.
Zhang Yu quickly packed up their things, turned to see Zhang Hui still sitting dumbly on the bed, and immediately flared up, "Zhang Hui, hurry up, alright? We still need to wash up and fill the water bottle."
"Also don’t know if we’ll be separated from that person." Although the ensemble lead hadn’t caused any more trouble on the upcoming trip, Zhang Yu was really worried about possibly being assigned to the same commune.
If, after a night of rest, the activist is refreshed and wants to make an impression, what then?
So the safest method is to have water ready for emergencies. Can’t fight without being prepared.
Ahh, Zhang Hui also recalled yesterday’s experience, gave a shudder, "Really, really hope we aren’t assigned together with them."
Such activists made Zhang Hui very nervous, truly terrifying, always watching people around.
The two quickly washed up and went to the restaurant they ate at yesterday. By the time they got there, many people had already arrived. After consulting Zhang Hui, they decided to have noodles today, packing a few buns too.
People initially wondered why two girls could eat so much.
A local asked Zhang Yu why she bought so much, "I asked the restaurant’s sister yesterday, and she said if we take an ox cart to the commune, it takes four hours."
"I also don’t know how long it’ll take us, so I thought why not prepare lunch, lest we starve."
"If we arrive at the commune before lunch ends, we’ll have lunch. If past lunch time, we’ll have to return to the village." Zhang Yu said quietly.
"An ox cart, impossible, right? We came by truck," people thought such a distance couldn’t be by ox cart.
"Exactly." People felt it was too far for an ox cart.
"We’re meeting at half-past eight. If it really takes four hours, wouldn’t we need to leave early morning?" they all said.
Someone thought, indeed, if that were the case, wouldn’t they need to leave at four or five in the morning from the commune.
Zhang Yu didn’t care, believing or not was their business, she had reminded them.
Someone glanced at Zhang Yu, then asked the staff, and upon confirming the response from them, also bought buns and cooked dumplings, reasoning that they needed food anyway, buying from the county or commune was the same.
After breakfast, Zhang Yu returned to the hotel, timing it to bring her luggage downstairs. By then, quite a few people with luggage were waiting below. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
As time passed, many communes arrived with tractors or ox carts to pick up their intellectual youth.
The hotel entrance, once crowded, now had some sixty to seventy people left, from three different communes, including the ensemble lead.
Seeing that enthusiastic person, Zhang Yu was truly baffled, the unease inside her kept growing.
A thought crossed her mind. Could she really be in the same brigade with her? If so, sigh.
Forget it, she didn’t want to think about it, yawned, and sat on the curb, standing was exhausting, and what was going on, why hadn’t anyone arrived yet.
It seemed, barring surprises, it would be a dispatch bus taking them to the commune, but due to a series of dispatches, by the time they left, it was already nine-thirty.
According to informed people, taking the bus would only take up to two hours, making many youth relieved, as they could still catch the commune’s lunch.
What nobody expected was, that the bus had just been released from a repair shop and hastily dispatched, meaning it wasn’t fully repaired yet.
