Chapter 47: So What If You Heard It? The one I scolded was her!

"So what if she heard it? I was scolding her!"

Although Qiao Yanyu's family was not wealthy, she had never suffered hardship since childhood. If she had not gone to the countryside, she would never have worked in her life.

Moreover, because of the work assignment in the morning, she was criticized by many people, who felt that she should not throw dirty water on Xie Rou.

So when she saw Xie Rou, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

Chi Nian looked embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything more, so he just pretended that he didn't hear anything.

“Gululu——”

Suddenly, Qiao Yanyu's stomach growled.

These days, people in many places only eat two meals a day, except for some well-off families who only eat three meals a day.

The production team all had communal meals, which were not very delicious, but at best were enough to maintain physical strength.

And there was no rice to eat. The only porridge was so thin that you could look in the mirror.

She works so long and just eats this kind of thing. It would be better for her to die.

Not to mention Qiao Yanyu was hungry, Lin Mengyao was the same, but she was too tired and didn't want to move at all.

"Mengyao, let's go get something to eat!"

Lin Mengyao's voice was hollow as she spoke, "No, I'm so sleepy and want to sleep."

Qiao Yanyu pouted, turned around and found Chi Nian fiddling with the luggage over there. She jumped off the couch and walked quietly behind Chi Nian.

"Wow! You still have dried sweet potatoes! Give me some!"

Chi Nian was startled. She was a little hungry and wanted to eat a few slices to fill her stomach.

She didn't expect to be discovered. She was timid and didn't dare to offend anyone, so she could only watch Qiao Yanyu grab a handful of dried sweet potatoes.

Qiao Yanyu was so hungry at the moment that even a dried sweet potato seemed delicious to her.

She came closer to Lin Mengyao and stuffed a piece into her mouth. "Try it, it tastes good."

Chi Nian's eyes were red as she packed up the remaining dried sweet potatoes, which her grandmother had secretly given her.

Grandma's health was getting worse day by day, and she was assigned to work in the countryside. She didn't know when she would be able to see her grandma again.

She was afraid she would never see him again...

Seeing Qiao Yanyu greedily snatching away most of the dried sweet potatoes, her heart bled.

Lin Mengyao squinted her eyes and chewed some dried sweet potatoes. The sweet taste drove away all the fatigue of the whole day.

Qiao Yanyu finished eating quickly, and with an unsatisfied look she looked at Chi Nian again, "Chi Nian, do you have anything else to eat? Bring some out and share with me!"

Chi Nian whispered: "No more..."

Seeing her like that, Qiao Yanyu was a little bit unconvinced, but she couldn't go through other people's luggage either, so she complained, "Stingy girl."

Lin Mengyao sat up from the couch and caught a glimpse of Chi Nian's resentful face, with a hint of darkness in his eyes.

While Qiao Yanyu was out fetching water, she took out fifty cents and handed it to Chi Nian, "Thank you for the dried sweet potatoes, they are delicious. Consider this money as my purchase, you can take it."

Chi Nian looked up, a little surprised.

Lin Mengyao was half a head taller than her. She leaned over and looked at her tenderly, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Take it!"

"The days ahead will be tough. We are all sisters living under the same roof, so we should share the good and the bad together. Don't you agree, Nian Nian?"

After weighing the pros and cons, Chi Nian accepted the money. She held it in her palm, lowered her eyes and said "hmm".

This means that she recognized Lin Mengyao and thought she was a kind and generous girl, but it did not mean that she forgave Qiao Yanyu.

However, she was willing to maintain peace with Qiao Yanyu for Lin Mengyao's sake.

Lin Mengyao curled the corners of her lips slightly and turned to go out to get some hot water.

If Qiao Yanyu dares to betray her in the future, Chi Nian can take advantage of her.

The next day.

It was drizzling outside and it was so cold that I shivered when I opened the door.

Perhaps because of the sudden drop in temperature, Li Guixiang hasn't gotten up this morning.

Lin Ziqiu wrapped his clothes tightly and ran to the kitchen, squatting down to light the firewood.

Zhong Heyang tossed and turned all night last night, and when he woke up in the morning, he found that there was no one beside him.

Subconsciously, he felt a little flustered. He grabbed his clothes and ran downstairs, where he saw the little girl sitting in the corner making a fire.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He fell asleep in the early morning and had a nightmare. He dreamed that Lin Ziqiu went to the countryside as an educated youth and was forced to marry the son of the team leader.

When they got married, he tried desperately to stop it, but he couldn't get in touch with anyone.

When he woke up, he found that it was just a dream, but it was a little too real...

And he didn't even know Shen Nanfeng!

Lin Ziqiu heard the footsteps and looked up, her eyebrows curved, "You're awake, breakfast isn't ready yet, what do you want to eat?"

Zhong Heyang walked towards her step by step, reached out and took her into his arms, holding her tightly.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Lin Ziqiu noticed that something was wrong with him and patted him on the back, "Did something happen?"

Zhong Heyang said in a muffled voice: "No."

"You're lying, there must be something wrong!" Lin Ziqiu didn't believe it, but when he thought about what he asked himself before going to bed last night, he suddenly felt guilty.

Zhong Heyang didn't know what she was thinking, so he tried hard to think of a reason, "I just feel a little sad when I think about not being able to eat the food you cook for me in the army.

"Is it because of this?" Lin Ziqiu breathed a sigh of relief and put on a smile again, "Then I can bring you lunch at noon."

"No." Zhong Heyang refused, "This will be too hard for you."

The state-owned hotel is quite far from the military base, and it takes at least an hour to get there by bike.

"Then I'll prepare the food every morning, and you can bring it to the troops, and then heat it up in the cafeteria at noon. How about that?"

Zhong Heyang held her hand and asked, "Have you ever thought about changing your job?"

Lin Ziqiu was surprised: "Change jobs? Change what?"

Zhong Heyang looked down at her and said in a low voice, "We also have a cafeteria in our army. If you are willing, you can come here to work. This way I can be closer to you."

There is indeed a hungry wolf eyeing the state-owned hotel.

He understood Lin Ziqiu's feelings for him, and they had gotten married out of necessity.

And he also promised not to force her. What if she really met someone she liked and left him and ran away with someone else?

Zhong Heyang didn't dare to gamble.

The army canteens are staffed by military cooks, but the art troupe's canteen is hiring female cooks.

Lin Ziqiu pondered for a moment, "The manager of the hotel treats me very well. I have only been working here for a few days and I don't want to change jobs for the time being."

We should be down-to-earth and not aim too high.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Zhong Heyang did not force her, "Okay, if you want to go in the future, just tell me and I will arrange it."

Lin Ziqiu nodded and said "hmm", but in his heart he felt that that day would never come.

After she earns enough money in the state-owned restaurant, the college entrance examination will be resumed soon and she can go to college.

Zhong Xuexi had just woken up and saw it was raining. She sighed and complained, "Why is it raining for no reason? It's so annoying."
