Chapter 142: Felix dissed
The high-speed train took more than two hours, but the bus took more than seven hours, and it was almost dark when we arrived. She usually doesn’t get carsick, but the bus and the dirt road in Nancun made her feel dizzy and wanted to vomit, but she couldn’t.
Several classmates vomited violently immediately after getting off the bus.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Aurelia couldn’t vomit at first, but after hearing that sound, she felt so nauseous that she couldn’t hold it back…
Larry opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Aurelia who had just vomited. “There is no hot water anymore. Please make do with this for now.”
After rinsing her mouth with the mineral water, Aurelia felt much better and was in the mood to appreciate the scenery.
Looking around, Nancun was just below where they were, with dozens of families living close together. The tallest house was only three stories high, and the others were basically one story high.
The air is quite nice and fresh.
But the weather is… so cold.
Aurelia shivered as a cold breeze blew.
Several girls nearby started to complain, and two or three boys couldn’t help but grumble, saying that it was really cold here, at least several degrees below zero.
Everyone in the village knew they were coming and stood at the entrance of the village early in the morning waiting. Most of them were children, their faces and hands were red from the cold, they were wearing worn-out cotton clothes, and on their feet were… some of them were wearing shoes!
Their wide eyes were filled with curiosity, anticipation and desire.
The old men and women behind them were not much better than them. They had honest smiles on their dark faces and stretched out their calloused right hands to wave to them.
Her crying almost made more than a dozen college students cry. It’s the 21st century, and there are still such poor places.
They were mentally prepared before coming, but they were still surprised by the poor conditions.
The charity supplies have not arrived yet, but are expected to arrive tomorrow. The village chief led everyone to greet them, and after the greetings, he took them to where they were staying.
The place they were staying was in a villager’s home, and Aurelia felt nervous when she saw the room she was assigned.
I just saw Briar and Larry’s room, and it seems that she lives in a relatively good place. It’s really rough, with a bed, a dresser, a desk and chair, and an old wardrobe, and nothing else.
However, the bed was covered with a brand new four-piece set, which was clean and tidy, which finally made her feel a little comforted.
As it gradually darkened, everyone gathered at the village chief’s house to have dinner.
The dinner was actually quite rich, with more than a dozen dishes that were all different, all made from natural wild vegetables or wild boar, rabbit, or duck. Although the appearance was not good, the taste was good.
Leo struggled for a moment and took a bite of food. The girls warmed their hands with hot tea. Felix and Briar, the two rich second-generations, sat there without even moving their chopsticks, playing with their phones. Aurelia tapped Briar’s hand and warned in a low voice, “Eat a little, don’t be disrespectful.”
The cooks were a few aunties from ethnic minorities. They had been busy preparing dinner since they arrived. If they didn’t eat, wouldn’t that be very disrespectful to them?
Briar mumbled, put away her phone, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.
Felix was still playing with his phone. Aurelia didn’t want to bother with him, but Larry was the captain, and if anything happened to the team members, he would be responsible.
Larry took advantage of the absence of outsiders to say to everyone, “Aunties work hard to cook. These dishes may not be considered dishes for you, but for them, maybe even Chinese New Year is not so rich. Just like Aurelia said, at least give some face and eat a little, understand?”
Everyone was quite respectful to Larry, except…
Aurelia rolled her eyes and asked Larry, “Is there a place to charge the phone tonight?”
Perhaps knowing what she meant, Larry glanced at Felix and said cooperatively, “No.”
When everyone was putting their luggage away, they were so busy complaining that no one noticed whether there was an outlet. When everyone heard Larry say this, they wailed.
But just then the village chief and some villagers came in with a few jars of wine, and the wailing people had to suppress their dissatisfaction.
Felix glanced at Aurelia, still playing with his phone, and threw a word at her, “Stupid!”
He has already seen the socket, okay?
Aurelia pulled out her phone and sent a text message to Felix, “If you don’t eat, I’ll call Principal Richmond.”
The reason she had Felix’s phone number was because Elliot gave it to her before she came. He said she could find Felix if she had anything to do, and she didn’t need to be embarrassed, she could just use him as her assistant.
Felix saw the content of the message and looked at the woman who put away her phone as if nothing had happened in disbelief. “I’ve never seen such a disgusting woman!”
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone could hear it. Felix’s eyes were still on Aurelia, and everyone knew who he was talking about instantly.
The village chief and villagers were drinking nearby and didn’t hear what was said here. Evelyn and a few other girls were laughing secretly at Aurelia’s joke.
scolded by Felix Richmon . She will definitely have a hard time in school in the future.
Briar put down his chopsticks, and Aurelia quickly held his wrist, “It’s okay, eat.”
Felix had already picked up the chopsticks. Her goal had been achieved, so there was no need to argue with him anymore.
However, she was increasingly confused about Principal Richmond…
Halfway through dinner, the village chief’s wife finished her work and everyone gave her a seat. The village chief’s Madam did not sit down, but chose to sit next to Aurelia.
drank the village wine , she finally understood why the village chief ‘s wife sat next to her. She seemed to be a special person, someone to be taken care of… She didn’t know who arranged it, but the village chief ‘s wife put meat and vegetables into her bowl while speaking a language she couldn’t understand.
The passion that you can’t refuse…
Briar was still joking, wondering if the village chief’s wife had taken a fancy to her and wanted her to stay and marry her to the village chief’s handsome son .
Aurelia told him to get lost.
After dinner, the village chief took them to a bonfire party. Aurelia felt like she was freezing when she finally saw the bonfire site.
A dozen young men and girls in local ethnic costumes were holding hands and dancing around the campfire. When they saw them coming, they greeted them warmly and took the initiative to pull them to the campfire to dance together.
Aurelia is holding a beautiful young lady in yellow ethnic costume, and on her right is the handsome son of the village chief, who is also wearing ethnic minority costume and a big knitted hat.
After all, they are of similar age, and one or two of them have even left the village and received nine years of compulsory education, so they can still chat with each other, which adds a lot of fun to their days of doing charity work here.
When Aurelia returned to her residence, she was shivering with cold. She was too lazy to even wash her face and just wanted to get into bed.
