Perhaps because of what happened yesterday, Chen Hong didn't dare to cause trouble. At this moment, she was inviting the matchmaker to have tea: "Please sit down first. I'll go call Xiao girl."

Hearing the noise outside, Xu Xiao had already gotten up. She sat by the window and looked outside.

Turning back, she was suddenly met with a pair of eyes as dark as the abyss. Chen Hong screamed subconsciously. She patted her chest, suppressed her fear, and walked over step by step: "Silly girl..."

The shock was still there. She paused and gritted her teeth: "Xiao girl, the matchmaker is here, why don't you come out quickly?"

There were only Chen Hong and Xiao Si in the yard, and Xiao Si was pouring sugar water for the matchmaker.

After what happened yesterday, Chen Hong didn't dare to order Xu Xiao around as she did in the past, even if she had to urge her.

"Ji Hong has already sent someone to the door, so you don't have to act so petty anymore."

After saying this, she left, walking quickly and hurriedly, as if there was some ferocious beast behind her.

Xu Xiao held up his face, raised his eyes slightly, and shouted outside: "Xiao Si, send Auntie out."

Aunt Xu was a well-known matchmaker, and when she learned that the educated youth who had gone to the countryside also wanted her to be their matchmaker, she was very proud of it. But when she heard the words of driving away the man, her face darkened and she even refused to drink the sugar water.

"Xiao girl, marriage is a major event in life, you are not allowed to joke about it."

"Auntie is an experienced person. Ji Zhiqing is handsome and talented, and he is a good match. If you miss him today, you will regret it."

As expected of a matchmaker, his mouth is like a machine gun, words just pouring out.

But when she looked towards the window, the sound was cut off. Aunt Xu uttered a cry, as if she was frightened.

Chen Hong spoke at the right time: "A Xiao isn't coming out yet?"

Aunt Xu grabbed her hand, her hand still trembling: "This girl... this girl..."

Chen Hong didn't understand what was going on. She was facing away from the window. When she turned around, she saw the black muzzle of a gun pointing at her.

"ah!"

…

"So, you came out like this?" Chen Nan looked surprised.

With a bang, □□ was thrown on the table.

Xu Xiao nodded nonchalantly: "They came so suddenly, there's nothing we can do."

She had originally wanted to delay it for a few more days, but she didn't know what leverage the male protagonist had in the Xu family's hands that made him give in so easily...

Trashy male lead.

Chen Nan looked at the pistol. She had seen it on her brother before.

After a moment of silence, she asked quietly, "Chen Bei even gave you this, what else does he want you to do?"

At the same time, she concealed her identity and went to the countryside, so why was she the only one busy bickering with those spoiled educated youth!

She was not happy! That group of people spent all day just feeling sorry for themselves and testing each other. It was boring for her to stay there!

"Protect Chen Youshi." Xu Xiao raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

Originally, Chen Bei didn't intend to give it to her, but unfortunately the old man didn't like others approaching his thatched hut.

Thinking of what happened last night, she couldn't help laughing.

She was a light sleeper and when she heard some rustling noises outside, she thought it was the Xu family doing something secretly.

After slipping out, he came face to face with Chen Bei. Chen Bei coughed lightly and handed the gun to Xu Xiao: "You are responsible for protecting Chen Youshi."

Under the moonlight, the man seemed to be covered with a veil, and the sense of alienation that kept people at a distance was gone.

With sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and deep facial features, he looks like a god who has come down to earth to save all living beings.

Chen Bei ran away because she couldn't help but touch the face of the god.

Coming back to his senses, Xu Xiao looked at Chen Nan: "Nannan, does Brother Bei have an adjutant?"

In his previous life, the lover beside Chen Bei was his adjutant. The two had been through life and death together and had a deep friendship.

Chen Nan thought about it carefully and shook his head: "He was thrown in, how could he be assigned an adjutant?"

Even if you go in, you will go in as an ordinary person to gain experience, otherwise it will be meaningless.

Xu Xiao's eyes were filled with joy, and he tapped his fingertips on the table. His voice was cold and clear: "Brother Bei is quite handsome."

Chen Nan didn't understand her implication and curled his lips in disdain: "Then he can't be a gigolo either."

Her brother only knows how to wield a gun or a sword, and the most important thing is that he is a mute.

Xu Xiao just smiled. The Chen brothers and sisters have always gotten along like this, disliking each other.

She got to the point. "Brother Bei said there was something wrong with Chen Shishi. I'm going to check it out. If the Xu family comes looking for me, you'll cover for them."

In his previous life, Chen was sometimes taken away by the people above because of his keen sense of planting plants, but now it seems that it is far more than that.

She would rather be outside than stay in Xu's house and be teased.

Besides, Chen sometimes owed her a year's supply of jute, so she had to go there for both official and personal reasons.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiao, just leave it to me. But how are you going to handle the Ji Hong matter?"

Now that the matchmaker has arrived, even if Xu Xiao doesn't agree, others will think she does.

"Ji Hong won't marry me." Xu Xiao nodded. She knew the man's personality well, and he should try to coax the woman now.

She motioned Chen Nan to come closer: "If you do this, just take Grandpa and the others with you."

She originally didn't know about these things happening between the male and female protagonists, but she had a pair of stupid children who were afraid that she would hang on to her last breath and survive.

The brother and sister sat by the bed, recounting the old stories of their father and Aunt Zhao bit by bit.

This includes the place where the two often met secretly when they went to the countryside.

Those two are selfish and stupid, worthy of being from the Ji family.

Now that he thinks about it, Xu Xiao just doesn’t understand.

Like a puppet, she stubbornly pounced on the male protagonist, then followed him away, preventing the male and female protagonists from meeting each other...

Chen Nan's eyes lit up again and again when she heard this, but she showed a hint of hesitation, and looked at Xu Xiao with more pity: "Sister Xiao, you've been wronged."

Thinking of how miserably Sister Xiao cried yesterday, she wanted to shoot those two people!

What I feel more is regret, regret for myself.

She shouldn't have deliberately ignored Sister Xiao, and she shouldn't have just stood by and watched.

Seeing Chen Nan's guilt, Xu Xiao raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: "What's wronged? It was just that I was confused for a moment. How could I let them take advantage of me?"

In fact, that group of people really got the upper hand.

In her previous life, she and Ji Hong held their wedding in Xujia Village, and even their marriage certificate was obtained in the village.

When she followed Ji Hong back to Beijing, the Ji family was not happy with her as a daughter-in-law in any way. It was not until the birth of their eldest son that things started to improve. But it was still not good.

Especially when she found out that Ji Hong was still in contact with Zhao Ling and went to find Ji's mother.

Ji's mother disdainfully advised her to be magnanimous: "You can't even catch your own husband, how can you blame others?"

She was already pregnant at that time, and she had to hold back her grievances. Holding her breath caused the baby to slip, and finally she stopped complaining.

He truly became a walking corpse, raising children and taking care of a large family without a single complaint.

"But what will you do in the future if Ji Hong does this?" Chen Nan was worried that this would affect Xu Xiao's normal life.

Xu Xiao doesn't have this worry. At worst, she can live alone for the rest of her life. All those bad things in her previous life are like a horror story, and she feels a little depressed.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly said to Chen Nan: "Please help me contact my godmother. I need a psychologist."

She suspected that she had been tricked.

Chen Nan's face turned anxious: "Sister Xiao, are you sick?!"

Xu Xiao held her back and said, "Nannan, I'm fine. I just have some issues that require me to see a psychologist. Maybe in three days. I'll stay at Chen Youshi's place for the next few days."

Chen Bei asked her to be responsible for protecting Chen Shiyou, but he didn't tell her how to protect him, so she might as well just ambush nearby.

Chen Shishi was still planting jute in the fields. When he heard the footsteps, he was not surprised: "Are you from the military?"

Xu Xiao didn't answer. He moved a small stool and sat next to him. "How's the jute research going?"

When it comes to jute, Chen sometimes forgets about those trivial matters. He waved his hand and said, "It's almost done, but there are still some problems."

Chen sometimes wants to increase the production of jute. Jute is an important textile raw material. Increasing production will bring huge benefits, which will benefit the country and the people.

He lowered his head and looked at the yellow soil in his hands, thinking about something.

Chen sometimes didn't speak, and Xu Xiao didn't disturb him.

This time she took a shortcut to Chenjia Village and deliberately avoided the people at the village entrance.

Chenjia Village and Xujia Village are not far apart, so news spreads quickly.

Chen sometimes works in the fields until the sun sets.

After digging up a few sweet potatoes from the ground, Xu Xiao smoked a cigarette while searching for them in the fire with a branch.

In the past, she often did this when she followed the Chen brothers and sisters to do missions outside.

Sweet potatoes are high in sugar and can replenish energy.

Wrapping the roasted sweet potatoes in mulberry leaves, Xu Xiao walked over to Chen Youshi and said, "Old man, it's time to eat."

The sweet potatoes belonged to Chen Youshi, and even the mulberry leaves were from in front of his house.

Chen Shiyou knocked his head and stood up with a happy look on his face: "Girl, I know what the problem is! It's the soil! It's the soil!"

Xu Xiao broke open the already cold sweet potato and stuffed it directly into Chen Youshi's mouth: "Let's eat first. You've been studying this for years. There's no need to rush."

Chen Shiyou choked for a moment, and the belated hunger began to roar loudly, and he couldn't say that he was not hungry.

Seeing that he had bitten it, Xu Xiao immediately withdrew his hand, sat on his small stool, raised his head and looked at the future boss: "Do you have an enemy?"

If there is, she will deal with it.

Seeing the meaning in Xu Xiao's eyes, Chen Shishi first frowned, then felt a wave of fear, and finally was speechless: "No! What enemies could this old man have?"

The people here are simple and honest. At most, they would say he is a weird old man. Over the years, Chen has sometimes gotten used to it.

Sometimes he even calls himself a weird old man.

As the sky gradually darkened, Chen Shi began to worry about another question: "Why don't you go back?"

He had heard about this girl. He heard that she was originally studying in the county, but came back because the school was closed.

Even after coming back, she was not a good person and got involved with a male educated youth at the educated youth site.

The countryside is like this, simple in style but also full of gossip.

Xu Xiao stood up, put away the small stool, and nodded: "I live in the back mountain." She handed a heavy walkie-talkie to Chen Youshi: "Take this. If anyone comes, call me."

Fortunately, there are few people in the back mountain, and it is more comfortable to stay in the woods than to live in Xu's house.

She didn't have much, but Chen Nan had a lot of supplies. She had snatched this walkie-talkie from Chen Nan.

Chen sometimes stared at the intercom in her hand in silence, and asked in disbelief, "You have all these things, and you still want some jute from me?"

Maybe, even if you sell all the jute, you still can’t buy a walkie-talkie!

No, it’s not that you can’t buy it, it’s simply impossible!

This thing is rare even for the military!!
