Chapter 259 With a trace of kindness, don't kill them all
The day after tomorrow, the twelve people selected by Lu Qingqing arrived at the county town accompanied by their respective families.
Many of them, even coming to the county for the first time, seemed particularly cramped.
In the station, everyone said goodbye reluctantly.
Lu Qingqing said goodbye to his family, stood among the crowd and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, everyone. Since I took the children away from you, I will definitely bring them back properly. When I come back next time, you will only see them grow up and become better."
After hearing this, everyone could not hold back their tears.
Lu Xiaoyu was the only one standing not far away with her baggage, and there was no family member who came to see her off.
After Lu Qingqing noticed it, he walked over pretending to be casual. When he arrived beside Lu Xiaoyu, he didn't say anything and just stood quietly with her.
Lu Xiaoyu, who had been standing alone, suddenly felt a sore nose and tears welled up in his eyes.
Lu Qingqing just stood beside her quietly and gave her great strength and support.
Those who originally glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally no longer dared to look at him blatantly.
After a while, Lu Xiaoyu lowered his head and spoke in a muffled voice:
"My parents didn't want me to go to Beijing. They wanted to marry me off quickly so they could raise money for my brother's gift. I had a fight with them and ran away from home..."
Lu Qingqing held Dongdong's hand with one hand and put his other hand on Lu Xiaoyu's shoulder and squeezed, "Don't be afraid, today is the beginning of your new life. You will definitely become the happiest and most powerful person in your family."
Lu Xiaoyu couldn't hold back. After shedding two tears, she quickly wiped them away, raised her head and smiled at Lu Qingqing: "I will definitely follow Sister Qingqing and work hard!"
Lu Qingqing took these twelve boys and girls, who were either excited, worried, or looking forward to it, and boarded the train to Beijing.
Because there were too many people, it was impossible to arrange them all into sleepers, so Lu Qingqing bought hard seats for them all, and then bought an extra sleeper for Dongdong to sleep at night.
It was the first time for the twelve children to ride a train. Their little heads were pointing together and pointing out the window and talking happily.
Because the sound was never too loud, Lu Qingqing did not interfere. He hugged Dongdong while reading and listening with a smile. From time to time, he made a few jokes. The discomfort everyone felt after leaving home was quickly diluted by the novelty.
Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to him, lightly bumped Lu Qingqing's arm, "Sister..."
Lu Xiaoyu gestured with his eyes to a woman sitting diagonally across from her. Judging from her fashionable clothing, she should be a city dweller. At this moment, she was looking askance at the group of chattering boys and girls opposite her, her anger clearly visible.
Lu Xiaoyu whispered: "I've been watching her for a long time. She had this look on her face when we first got in the car. Now she keeps staring at us and rolling her eyes..."
Lu Qingqing coughed twice as he did not want to cause trouble.
The twelve people around him immediately looked over, and Lu Qingqing raised an index finger to signal everyone to be silent.
The few people who were not very noisy immediately became silent.
Lu Qingqing returned her gaze to the book in Dongdong's hand, and heard a strange voice before she even opened her mouth.
"We have been arguing for so long, and now I think of lowering my voice. Who are you pretending to show me?"
Lu Xiaoyu clenched her fists instantly.
Lu Qingqing said nothing, and slowly raised his eyes. When his cold eyes were on the woman opposite, he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly: "You don't dare to name people by name. Who are you talking about?"
When Lu Qingqing said this, the woman immediately became angry, "I'm talking about you! With so many country bumpkins, they started chattering as soon as they got on the train. It was so noisy!"
Teenagers and girls who had low self-esteem when they went out for the first time suddenly blushed with embarrassment.
At the same time, a thought came to my mind: Did I embarrass Sister Qingqing?
Lu Xiaoyu said fiercely: "Do you think it's noisy? Then don't take the train! You are the country bumpkin!"
The woman glanced at Lu Xiaoyu contemptuously, "How dare you come here to teach me a lesson even though your hair is not even long? Go back and breastfeed for a few more years!"
Lu Qingqing held down Lu Xiaoyu who was about to get up, and looked at the woman with a faint smile: "If you think the train environment is dirty and messy, and the people on the train are unqualified, you don't have to do it at all, or start from the beginning.
Just buy a sleeper berth, sit in it and say it’s not good, who are you pretending to?”
This time, not only Lu Qingqing, but also the people around him looked over.
The woman immediately felt guilty, "You... stop talking nonsense. When did I ever say anything disgusting about you?"
Lu Qingqing patted Dongdong's head unhurriedly, "From the time we first got in the car, you were already frowning and full of anger. This shows that you are definitely not angry because of us. It should be from the moment we got in the car.
When you first got on the train and sat on the hard seat, you already cursed it silently in your heart many times, right?"
"I haven't! Stop talking nonsense! I've never had one!"
The uncle sitting next to her suddenly said: "No? You have rolled your eyes at me since I got in the car..."
"I didn't, I did, I did because it was too crowded."
The woman's explanation was pale and weak, but seemed to be trying to hide the truth.
Seeing that everyone was already dissatisfied with her, Lu Qingqing simply dug her ears and added another fuel:
"You have long been dissatisfied with everyone, but you are surrounded by people you can't afford to offend, so you have to complain about them silently in your heart. Only we are the only ones, because we are qualified, speak softly, and are all young people.
That’s why you dare to rely on your old age and talk about it in a weird way."
Lu Qingqing raised her eyes and smiled, "Am I right?"
Lu Xiaoyu was indignant: "How can you be so noble? Why do you look down on us and bully honest people?! The chairman has said that everyone is equal. Could it be that you used to be the eldest daughter of a landlord?!
"
The woman's pupils immediately dilated several times, and then she quickly denied: "No, I am not, little girl, stop talking nonsense!"
Okay, it looks like it is.
In the past few years, everyone was clamoring for the identity of a landlord. Women knew that if they were exposed to this identity, they would definitely not have an easy time during the rest of their journey.
Then the woman lost her voice.
But the more silent she became, the more guilty she seemed.
There were many people on the train who had been oppressed by the landlords, and now they all turned their attention to the woman, making her feel on pins and needles and becoming more and more uneasy.
Seeing that she had brought it upon herself, Lu Qingqing stopped wasting time, lowered her head and started teaching Dongdong how to read.
Dongdong raised his head and said, "Mom, everyone is scolding that aunt right now, why didn't you say anything?"
Lu Qingqing rubbed Dongdong's head, "This is called don't chase after poor bandits. Don't kill people at any time. Remember?"
