Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Chapter 2197: Chapter 2198: The Cousin Is a Capitalist Lady 17

Looking at the car just like in his memory, indeed stopping in the middle of nowhere, Zhang Yu could only helplessly admit that the butterfly effect hadn’t occurred.

The only good thing is, there are fields nearby, allowing them to contact the locals and then discuss with the relevant departments on how to resolve the situation.

Another advantage is that there are trees around, providing a place to hide in the shade, at least preventing people from being baked inside the car.

As time ticked by, everyone’s mood wasn’t getting better; once they reached the commune, they still had to continue to the village below.

Although accommodation is free, the Youth Corps Office will arrange it, oh, of course, they arrange large shared sleeping areas; if you want a separate room, you need to pay yourself, and meals also need to be self-sustaining.

The food at the restaurant tastes good but requires both tickets and money; it’s more economical to cook for yourself. Everybody is just hoping to reach the intellectual youth center sooner to cook themselves without spending extra money.

Especially for the intellectual youth of the Red Flag Brigade, they’re the most excited as their commune is the furthest away; if delayed further, they might end up staying at the commune today.

The high temperatures in summer make people easily irritable; coupled with these issues, it’s really hard to speak kindly, so everyone’s tone has become quite harsh.

Zhang Yu sat quietly under the shade, calm as can be. After all, can arguing solve the problem? The leaders above also find this troublesome.

Zhang Hui gently sighed, watching the people fussing while glancing at the quietly seated Zhang Yu, "I don’t know when it’ll be okay."

"It will be okay eventually; there’s no way around it, we’ll have to see how the leaders arrange things." In the previous life, they hadn’t prepared food, Zhang Hui said she was hungry, so Zhang Yu naturally panicked, just like the rest.

This time, she has prepared food and drinks, letting them fuss around, as she’s just a little girl and prefers not to stir things up.

Zhang Hui looked at the calmly seated Zhang Yu, feeling dissatisfied; damn it, why doesn’t this guy go and fuss? If they as two women don’t act tough, aren’t they more prone to being bullied?

"If you want to join them, go ahead." Zhang Yu glanced at Zhang Hui who was fidgeting beside her, noticing her discomfort at not rising to fuss.

Humph, this kind of behavior would make leaders displeased, seeing her as a troublemaker, of course to be avoided as much as possible. If one can’t avoid it, then there’s only one possibility, to pursue personal benefits.

Anything that doesn’t pursue personal benefits is unrelated to her, just quietly watch the show.

Would she join? Zhang Hui immediately shook her head; even if her identity allows her to fuss, she wouldn’t do it.

Parents like obedient and honest kids, and leaders prefer such subordinates too. Zhang Hui has long thought it over; she could work without effort but would never become a thorn in the leader’s side.

This kind of behavior that displeases the leaders should be done by Zhang Yu. Isn’t she someone with a bad temper? But unexpectedly, from yesterday to today, no, including on the train, Zhang Yu has been so quiet, unless it’s a group activity, otherwise she absolutely does not participate.

Zhang Yu knew her behavior upset Zhang Hui, but she was quite pleased.

Zhang Hui felt depressed, turning to see Zhang Yu’s smiling face, "Sis, what’s so funny?"

Many people turned to look at Zhang Yu, especially those who had argued earlier, glaring at her with dissatisfaction.

Zhang Yu understood Zhang Hui’s intent, trying to make her everyone’s enemy, she pointed at the rice ahead, "Look at the rice, it’s weighed down heavily, I think there’ll be a good harvest in the autumn."

Everyone looked toward the fields nearby, "Yes, it’s a harvest season."

"So I’m laughing, is that a problem?" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Since the situation’s already occurred, I suppose neither the Youth Corps Office nor the driver wanted this."

"None of us wanted this to happen, but it’s already happened, we can only face it."

"And it’s so hot, aren’t you all uncomfortable?" Zhang Yu asked, "It’d be better to rest for a while."

"If you’re bursting with energy with no outlet, perhaps ask the locals if there’s any help needed, and assist with farm work." Zhang Yu genuinely suggested.

Everyone glanced at the fields, well, it’ll be a big harvest, anyone seeing it would be pleased, as having a harvest means intellectual youth needn’t worry about hunger later.

Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s suggestion to work, everyone immediately found a spot to sit down, truly exhausted.

Zhang Hui originally thought the recent scenario couldn’t be resolved by Zhang Yu, who could have known she would solve it so easily, stunned.

"Sis, you’re amazing, knowing just by looking it’ll be a good harvest." Zhang Hui felt annoyed.

"No way, since we’re here for rural development, understand more about the countryside of course." Zhang Yu continued observing the fields.

Zhang Hui looked at Zhang Yu’s composed demeanor, feeling unhappy, what else could she do, but watch the fields, slowly calming her inner anger.

Everyone gradually observed the fields, felt the gentle breeze blowing, slowly realizing maybe things weren’t so bad.

In the quiet atmosphere, cattle-carts and tractors arrived consecutively; seeing these transport tools, tears uncontrollably flowed down.

"Get in, head to the commune." The leader instructed everyone to get in, "We’re not far from the commune."

Thus, everyone boarded various transport tools arriving at the commune courtyard entrance; this time the commune restaurant was on break, so those who bought lunch from the county were content, after all, requesting hot water is simpler than purchasing lunch elsewhere.

Many touched their protesting bellies, feeling discontent yet helpless. Zhang Yu had warned them before, they just thought they’d catch the lunch timing.

But who could’ve guessed the bus meant to take them to the commune had vehicle issues?

"People from Red Flag Commune and Liberation Commune, board the tractor." An official announced through a loudspeaker, "Don’t get on the wrong vehicle."

"The two communes are not in the same direction." Worried everyone would board the wrong tractor, the official raised his volume.

The intellectual youth only concerned with boarding the tractor quickly, didn’t care which commune they ended up at; after all, the bus originally transported them to three communes right?

Zhang Yu understood the reasoning; the three communes approximate a triangle, bus transports could deliver once by taking a longer route, now organizing tractors wouldn’t circle around.

Though Zhang Yu was a bit far from the tractor heading to Red Flag Commune, she didn’t take a detour, thus securing a good spot.

While not the most interior seat, at least it’s not the most outward one; given the road condition, Zhang Yu could anticipate sitting outside would be very bumpy, if one inadvertently got tossed out it’d be quite amusing.
