A Young Woman's Heart

After all, this new nation was established through the efforts of workers and peasants.

Perhaps there's also a sense of not forgetting one's roots in it.

The so-called educated youth who went to the countryside were actually just junior high school and high school students. But in that era, people with this level of education could be considered highly educated intellectuals.

People who have graduated from junior high school can even become junior high school teachers.

For people who came after, that period of time seems like it happened a long time ago.

But the imprint of this special history remains, and many schools still retain the tradition of learning agriculture.

Yukong High School, which was once a private school but is now a public school, is another example.

The agricultural learning base we visited this time was originally just an ordinary village that was only developed in the last five years.

Wang Jiale had probably had enough of cuddling with Lu Bolun in the car, so he returned to the girls and pointed at a road sign with great interest, exclaiming, "Wow, the name of this village is so strange!"

"well enough……"

“The Wang family is the Wang family, why call them ‘Upper Wang family’?” As a member of the Wang family, Wang Jiale expressed his doubts and curiosity.

"It's probably because there used to be a Wang family above and another Wang family below, but they weren't the same family, so they were divided into the Upper Wang family and the Lower Wang family?" Mo Xueyao speculated.

"So, is there still a lower Wang family?"

"Uh... I was just guessing, I don't know if it's true or not."

“Strange place name,” Wang Jiale repeated.

After getting off the bus, I found that the lake was not very big, and it looked like an artificial lake, or perhaps it was originally small but was widened to such a large size, because there were obvious signs of human intervention on the lake shore.

The lake water flows in through a small dike and flows out through another small dike.

Standing at the inlet, the 'whooshing' sound of the water seemed to cleanse the soul, washing it away again and again.

The students who had just gotten off the bus scattered everywhere, like an overturned rice bin.

The teachers had to reorganize the order several times before they finally got everyone lined up.

This place is a novelty for many city kids.

Children who grew up in the countryside feel nostalgic for it.

With everyone looking around and wandering about, it was naturally difficult to reorganize the order.

"Have you all taken your luggage off the bus? The bus will stop for a while longer, so if you forgot anything, hurry back and get it." Class teacher Ye Wen shouted from the front of the line, while behind her, Teacher Qiu was sitting on a suitcase, idly playing with fallen leaves.

Although everyone felt they shouldn't have forgotten anything, they still instinctively checked their carry-on luggage.

"Hey! Where's my phone?" Hua Yinyin patted her pockets. "Xiao Yaoyao, is it with you?"

"Why would I need your phone...?"

"Awen! My phone is in the car!" Hua Yinyin immediately raised her hand.

"That's the car that brought us here, hurry up and get it," Ye Wen urged. "The others too, don't think you've forgotten anything, or it'll be too late once the car leaves!"

After confirming that no one had forgotten their luggage, Ye Wen led the team toward the mountainside.

Although it's a plain, it's not a vast grassland; there are still mountains there.

Beside those low hills in the distance, there is a row of neat red apartments.

They are all five stories high, and their design is somewhat similar to that of villas, except that they don't have yards.

"This time it's different from military training. Everyone is in groups of three, and each three people share a room. Each room is an independent room with a bathroom." It seems that Yukong High School has relatively little funding this time. Although there are quite a few empty houses, they decided to house the entire grade of students in this row of apartments.

Three people in one room is certainly not crowded, but it's definitely not as comfortable as the previous situation where boys and girls from the same class each had their own large villa.

There are five apartment buildings in total. One building is for the teachers, and the other four buildings are for two male students and two female students.

The girls from Class 2 of Grade 11 were assigned to the fourth floor of the innermost apartment building, where the girls from Class 1 of Grade 11 lived.

From the outside, the apartment doesn't look very big, but it has quite a few rooms, which makes each room seem a bit small—relatively speaking.

It's worth noting that each room comes with a small living room, so it's actually not crowded at all.

Other classes are assigned students based on their student ID numbers, or by the class teacher.

Class Two was much more casual. Ye Wen simply waved her hand, said, "You guys figure it out yourselves," and went downstairs to take the boys to their apartment.

"I want to share a room with Xiaoyaoyao!!!" Hua Yinyin was the first to hug Mo Xueyao.

"Me too!" Lu Chengyuan pounced on Mo Xueyao aggressively and grabbed her other hand.

"Me too! Me too!" Wang Jiale retorted, not to be outdone.

The other girls started to egg her on, and a group of them gathered around, each shouting that they wanted to sleep with Mo Xueyao.

This left her unsure whether she was being treated like a celebrity or just a mascot...

In the end, I ended up sharing a room with Hua Yinyin.

Together with her was Li Wanyan.

This was her own request.

Because only the 'class monitor' can keep Hua Yinyin in check.

Otherwise, he'd definitely sneak into bed in the middle of the night and launch some kind of surprise attack.

They might even crawl naked into someone else's bed...

It's terrifying to even think about.

There are 22 girls in Class 2, or 23 if you include Sanhua Tongjue.

There are only seven rooms on one floor, which means there will be two extra people.

However, the one who was added was not Sanhua Tongjue, but Tian Xinnan.

Because she always spoke so harshly, no one wanted to live with her in a three-person room.

Another one is Ashley.

It wasn't that no one wanted to see her; Wang Jiale and Mo Zhuyou were quite welcoming. But a room could only accommodate three people...

"So, is everything assigned?" Just as everyone was debating, Ye Wen came up from the stairwell. She was running back and forth, and her forehead was slightly sweaty.

"Awen~! Can Aishuer stay in our room?" Mozhuyou raised her hand. "We should be able to squeeze in, right?"

"So there really aren't enough rooms, are there?" Ye Wen looked at Ai Xiu'er. "Ai Xiu'er, would you be willing to squeeze in with someone else and sleep in the same bed?"

"It's alright." Aishuer tilted her head slightly, revealing a reassuring smile.

“Then let’s sleep together as a group of three!” Mo Zhuyou said excitedly.

"Three people?" Ye Wen cast a scrutinizing glance at her.

"Me, my sister, and Ashley."

"One bed isn't enough for everyone..." Ye Wen shook her head helplessly. "Don't break the bed."

"It's okay, it's okay. Actually, she can sleep in a bed by herself. My sister and I can sleep together."

“Yeah, that makes sense. You two sleep together every day anyway.” Ye Wen looked at Tian Xinnan. “Well… Tian Xinnan, you probably can’t share a bed with anyone else.”

"Ah Wen, do you think I'm fat?" Tian Xinnan said jokingly, but everyone else nodded in agreement.

...It's not that I feel that way, it's that I'm really fat.

"Haha..." Ye Wen chuckled and brushed it off, "The teacher's apartment has many empty rooms. How about this, you can have a room all to yourself. It'll be spacious and comfortable."

"Okay, then I've made a profit."

“That’s right, other people don’t get this treatment. Hmm… come with me.” Ye Wen said, and walked downstairs.

There will probably be a shortage of rooms for the boys as well, so she'll have to make the arrangements.

Moreover, Huang Yuxi, who seems to be someone even boys might find irresistible, also needs to be assigned a room to himself.

Even though we're all heterosexual, it would be terrible if something actually happened.

Such incidents have happened before. At a prestigious high school next door, where the proportion of boys was particularly high, a boy with delicate features—far less feminine than Huang Yuxi—was assaulted by other boys during a field trip.

The girls, who had already been assigned to groups, started scrambling for rooms again.

The innermost room is naturally the most popular because it's more spacious and has an extra floor-to-ceiling window.

Mo Xueyao realized that she seemed to be outmatched, but she was still extremely tempted by the place.

"So, what method do you plan to use to decide who stays in which room?" she leaned closer and asked curiously.

"Of course, we'll use rock-paper-scissors! Each group will send a representative!" Hua Yinyin shouted.

"Okay, let's use this one. It's fair and just."

"Then, Yinyin, will you be our representative?"

"Hmph, leave it to me!" Hua Yinyin accepted the challenge confidently, as if she would never lose.

Mo Xueyao was already prepared for the possibility that she wouldn't get that room.

But unexpectedly, Lady Luck was on her side this time. Hua Yinyin won against everyone else and got this room.

"Heh heh, how about that? Pretty impressive, huh? I kept my word!" She walked up to Mo Xueyao triumphantly, looking like she was asking for credit.

"Impressive, impressive." Mo Xueyao's reply was somewhat perfunctory, and then she couldn't wait to take her luggage inside.

The best rooms have already been assigned, so the rest can be assigned randomly.

The room closest to the corridor might be a little noisy.

Mo Xueyao and the others put their luggage in the living room and then went into the bedroom.

Although one of them is a bunk bed, it is actually made of solid wood and doesn't look cheap at all.

The other one is a single bed, also made of solid wood.

The beds aren't very big; one person can sleep comfortably, but two people would be a bit cramped.

The small living room has two walls with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a sofa and a TV cabinet already fill the space.

The washroom is located to the left of the entrance, which is quite far from the bedroom and looks more comfortable.

But thinking about it more carefully, the bathroom next door is right next to their bedroom, and their mood isn't so pleasant anymore...
