Chapter 323 Luo Zhiqing, why haven't you returned to the city yet?

Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, Shen Yuzhu paused involuntarily, her heart skipping a beat for no apparent reason. She immediately turned around and asked directly:

"Luo Zhiqing, what do you mean? Are you saying that Su Wanwan isn't really dead?"

This was her first reaction, triggered by a conditioned reflex!

Indeed, the pressure Su Wanwan exerted on her in her previous life was so immense that she felt it was somewhat unreal that Su Wanwan had died so easily.

In her past life, Su Wanwan truly had everything she wanted.

Whatever she wants—money, power, men—she can have it all firmly in her grasp.

Anyone who opposes her will not have a good ending.

Luo Zixi was probably the only person she had ever met who could still be so lively and energetic after going against Su Wanwan.

Seeing her reaction, Luo Zixi simply smiled and replied:

"I didn't say that, don't overthink it!"

"Although the dead cannot be brought back to life, they may exist in people's memories in another form, which is another way of living, isn't it?"

After saying that, Luo Zixi ignored Shen Yuzhu's reaction and turned around to close the door.

Shen Yuzhu was so angry she could have teeth itch; he really didn't let her rest easy even on his last day.

She realized that she shouldn't be friends with Luo Zixi. Their personalities clashed, and if they became friends and met every few days, she would probably be driven crazy by Luo Zixi.

Now that the two have separated, Shen Yuzhu and Zhang Tuo are quickly preparing to return to Beijing.

Actually, it couldn't be easier for them to return to Beijing. Both of them came from prominent families; it was just a matter of a word.

But ordinary people don't get this treatment.

The educated youth who had been sent to the countryside in Yueya Mountain received notices to return one after another.

Of course, the first batch of people who left all had connections and powerful backers; their families were capable and had influence, so they were transferred very easily.

The remaining ones, especially the older educated youth who were among the first to arrive and have not left for a long time, will really have a hard time returning to the city.

They all felt a deep sense of despair; who would want to stay in this place forever?

Although Crescent Moon Mountain is a scenic spot, it is still the countryside. These days, young people love to go to the city, thinking that everything in the city is better, because the conditions in the countryside are indeed too harsh.

Let alone city kids, even the young people in the village, which one of them doesn't dream of going to the city to live a better life?

The countryside today is not as good as the countryside of later generations, which has so many favorable conditions and policies, and where people live a prosperous and comfortable life.

Rural life is indeed very difficult now, but there's nothing that can be done about it.

The country is progressing, and urbanization is advancing; these are all historical trends.

Many of the male educated youth who married rural women or the female educated youth who married rural men are now starting to have romantic feelings for each other.

After all, seeing other educated youth return to the city one by one, it was hard for them to remain calm. They chose to marry young men and women from the village because they saw no hope of returning to the city and wanted a better life without having to do such strenuous labor.

But things are different now. Many educated youth can return to the city, and they have seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Think about the prosperity and convenience of the city, the better conditions, and the brighter future.

Who would want to stay in the countryside where they toil in the fields from dawn till dusk?

In the village, they saw no hope; their lives might just end like this. They had all received so much education, and as young people from the city, none of them wanted to be farmers their whole lives…

As a result, some families soon experienced changes in their lives.

According to policy, it is indeed very difficult for educated youth who married rural girls or rural men to return to the city.

But some people still have ways to deal with it.

Some of the educated youth were even taken away by their families.

Of course, some educated youth were simply forgotten by their families. Since they had already started families in Northeast China, they decided to stay there...

After all, not every family of educated youth was well-off.

Especially in Beijing, some families are not only facing shortages of supplies, but also housing conditions. Each additional person means another mouth to feed and another place to live...

So there's been a lot of commotion in and around the villages and cities lately.

All sorts of conflicts and absurd incidents kept popping up.

Luo Zixi watched the spectacle with great interest; this winter was truly like a blazing fire…

"Luo Zhiqing, why do you look so unconcerned? You have no relatives or friends here, no home or family, don't you want to go back to the city?"

Today, when the village secretary's wife passed by a house where people were arguing, she saw Luo Zixi eating sunflower seeds nearby and was immediately taken aback. She couldn't help but ask her a question.

"Oh, Auntie, it's been a while! You look great, still as agile as ever!"

The village secretary's wife rolled her eyes; it was clearly insincere praise. However, she was very concerned about Luo Zixi's next plans.

After all, as long as Luo Zixi stayed on Crescent Moon Mountain, her precious son would never be able to settle down, and would stare blankly in the direction of the Bai family's old house where Luo Zixi was all day long.

Even though they know it's impossible, they still hold onto a sliver of hope, indulging in wishful thinking.

That's what you call worrying.

However, Luo Zixi showed no intention of returning to the city, which made the village secretary's wife anxious.

So, she couldn't help but come over to ask, wanting to see what Luo Zixi was really thinking.

"Hey kid, why don't you tell your aunt the truth? Do you even want to go back?"

“I see many educated youth have returned to the city, but you’re still here, not worried at all. Don’t you have a lot of powerful relatives who are high-ranking officials? You can’t just send them back to the city with a single word, can you?”

Luo Zixi couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard what she said:

"Auntie, it's strange that you put it that way. Those people are those people, and I am me. What kind of relatives are we? If we were really relatives, they would look down on me!"

"Do you really think they're here to help me? They're just putting on a show and saying nice things."

"To be honest, I have no relatives or friends. My parents are both dead, and now I'm just a person who doesn't have to worry about anything."

"How am I supposed to get back to the city? I don't know anyone there!"

Hearing Luo Zixi say this, if it were before, the village secretary's wife would definitely feel quite sorry for the girl, but now she doesn't believe a word of it!

There is no place in this world that Luo Zixi cannot go. No matter where she is, Luo Zixi can live quite comfortably. This girl is no ordinary person. She is better than many men!

"What about your boyfriend? Don't you have a really great boyfriend? Why don't you go see him?"
