"It's not me who insists on thinking this way, it's you who makes me think this way. Du Jiaming, think about what you've done during this period. You ignored Qiao Wenwan and came to me instead. Do you know what's written on your face? If you're being too attentive without any reason, you're either a traitor or a thief."

Jiang Wanwan looked at him sarcastically, "Let me think about it, you don't want me to ask my dad to bring you back to the city, do you?"

Du Jiaming's heart skipped a beat. She actually guessed it. When did she become so smart?

"Jiang Zhiqing, why do you think so? We went to the countryside to build a better countryside. How can we always think about returning to the city?"

"No, that's good. Otherwise, I would have to have a serious talk with the team leader. Some of the educated youths' thinking is not up to standard."

Du Jiaming smiled awkwardly, "Now that we've explained everything, Jiang Zhiqing, you know I have no ill intentions. We still need water, and you, a girl, have never carried water before. Let me do it."

He bent down to pick up the bucket of water, and was suddenly hit hard on the back by a stick.

Jiang Wanwan immediately turned hostile and attacked him with a stick.

"Du Jiaming, do you really think I can't do anything to you just because you shamelessly come to our house? Forget your kindness, forget your feelings, get out..."

Du Jiaming wanted to continue reasoning with her, but Jiang Wanwan didn't give him the chance at all. Even the bucket and shoulder pole were thrown out by the brat in the yard.

He had never been so embarrassed in his two lifetimes.

Du Jiaming returned to the educated youth site with anger suppressed. After entering the gate, he threw the bucket and shoulder pole directly against the wall, making a clanging sound.

Several other educated youth were cooking. Qiao Wenwan was not there, and Du Jiaming didn't know how to cook, so he simply took the food and shared it with the other educated youth.

Last time we said that everyone should take care of their own food and eat their own meals. In the end, only Du Jiaming and Qiao Wenwan were sent out separately, and the other educated youth ended up eating from the same pot again.

Because of this, Qiao Wenwan was angry for several days, thinking that these educated youth were not united with their comrades and were deliberately keeping her and Du Jiaming away.

Du Jiaming didn't care, and he was unwilling to eat from the same pot with those people.

As a result, something happened to Qiao Wenwan, forcing him to compromise.

Yang Jun heard the noise in the yard and came out. Seeing the empty bucket by the wall, he frowned slightly. "Du Zhiqing, where's the water you fetched? You can't have fetched even a bucket of water in such a long time? I'm still waiting for water to cook."

Today Yang Jun and Zhang Baisong are cooking. Du Jiaming is not cooking, and he is responsible for the water supply at the educated youth site.

Du Jiaming didn't respond to him and went back to the house with a cold face.

Zhang Bosong came out with a fire poker, looking puzzled. He asked Yang Jun, "What happened to him? He's been out for so long and hasn't fetched any water?"

Yang Jun was also unhappy. Everyone had asked him to eat with them out of kindness, but now, he didn't even want to cook, and he couldn't even get water. Did he really think he was still the boss? He didn't even think about whether he could still act like a big garlic without Jiang Wanwan.

"Who knows, it's a problem."

Zhang Bosong, "What about the water? There will be no water to drink soon."

Cao Jiangtao was collecting firewood in the yard. Hearing this, he picked up the shoulder pole and said, "You two continue cooking. I'll go carry some more."

Someone fetched water, and the two of them stopped talking and went back to the house to continue cooking.

Liu De had been warming himself by the fire in the kitchen and chatting with the two cooks. When he came out and returned to the house, he saw Du Jiaming flipping through a book.

"Looking at your tattered book again, what's so good about it? Do you expect to use it for farming?"

Du Jiaming ignored him and looked at the book seriously. This was the only book he found in the brigade warehouse that could be used for the college entrance examination.

Although it is certainly not as comprehensive and useful as Professor Wu's, it is better to have it than not. Living his life over again, he cherishes every opportunity even more.

He would not give up any opportunity until he had established a relationship with Professor Wu.

Liu De didn't take the lack of a response seriously. He was used to it, so he continued asking, "Are you really not going to care about Qiao Zhiqing's affairs? You two went to the countryside together. When you were sick and hospitalized, Qiao Zhiqing ran around for you. Now that she's in trouble, you can't just leave her alone, right?"

Du Jiaming also wanted to take charge. If possible, he didn't want Qiao Wenwan to do any reforms.

But what could he do? Jiang Wanwan kept insisting on it, and he couldn't get a say at the police station. Even the captain wouldn't help them.

He flipped a page and said nonchalantly, "Qiao Zhiqing made a mistake. What can I do about the law punishing her? But I've already informed the team leader. After Qiao Zhiqing is sent to the construction site, the members of our team will take care of her."

"What's the point of just caring for them? Digging a canal isn't for humans. I think you should tell the team leader that you're going to work on the canal too. The care and affection we educated youth receive is definitely different from that of the commune members."

Du Jiaming, "Why me? Why don't you go and tell the captain?"

Liu De was slightly stunned and looked at him blankly, "Why should I go? It wasn't me who was sick and hospitalized and taken care of by Qiao Zhiqing."

It is true that he likes Qiao Zhiqing, but this matter cannot be attributed to him. Du Jiaming should repay the favor first.

Du Jiaming sneered, "If you don't want to go, then don't talk about others. Do you think you're so noble by being generous to others?"

Liu De blushed for a moment. What does it mean to be generous to others?

"You were wrong in the first place. Qiao Zhiqing was so sincere to you, but your kindness went to waste. I only reminded you because you two have a good relationship. If Du Zhiqing really doesn't care about Qiao Zhiqing, please don't drag her into everything in the future, so as not to give people the misunderstanding that you don't care about her, but there are plenty of people who do."
