Looking at Ruan Miaomiao's appearance, Shen Qingming had a bad feeling.

But he has already given so much, letting Ruan Miaomiao occupy the position of his girlfriend, and making Xiuyun feel wronged so that she can only secretly be with him. They have already given so much, how can they give up so easily?

So, he looked at Ruan Miaomiao with deep affection and replied:

"Miaomiao, of course I'm your boyfriend, and I'll always be your loyal revolutionary partner!"

Hearing the scumbag's words, Ruan Miaomiao just wanted to vomit.

She suppressed her nausea and said to Shen Qingming, "Okay, boyfriend, could you please boil some hot water for me to wash up?"

? ?

Shen Qingming was exhausted from the journey and had been hungry for several days. He was so sleepy that his expression changed instantly when he heard Ruan Miaomiao's words.

Ruan Miaomiao wouldn't give him a chance to refuse. Pointing at Zhao Xiuyun, she said, "Xiuyun is just your friend, and you even wash her clothes. I'm your girlfriend, and you wouldn't even boil water for me, would you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention turned to Zhao Xiuyun and Shen Qingming.

Feeling awkward, Shen Qingming didn't know what else to say and could only grumble as he went to boil water.

However, thinking about the demands he would have to make to Ruan Miaomiao later, he could only endure boiling the water.

After much difficulty, the woman finally brought Ruan Miaomiao the water for washing up, but as soon as she made a request, her expression changed:

"What? You're getting bedding?"

Shen Qingming, I'm your girlfriend, not your mother. If I give you bedding, you'll just be seen as a freeloader.

Back in Haicheng, I gave you a watch and leather shoes. After you accepted them, didn't you blame me for ruining your reputation and making everyone think you were a kept man?

"..."

The woman raised her voice and said something that left Shen Qingming speechless: "This damned woman! I've been waiting for ages, and she hasn't even given me any bedding. I've swallowed my pride and asked, and she still acts like this."

But he couldn't say those words.

He could only look at Ruan Miaomiao with an embarrassed expression and awkwardly said, "I... I lost my luggage, you're my boyfriend..."

Shen Qingming wanted to brainwash Ruan Miaomiao, but she interrupted him:

"Stop, Shen Qingming. It's not like I lost your luggage. Isn't it said that love conquers all? You weren't worried when you lost your luggage, but now you're worried?"

“Miaomiao…”

Shen Qingming's eyes reddened. He didn't know how his usually easy-going partner had become so unreasonable.

He stared helplessly at the woman, but seeing that she still didn't nod, he lost face and stormed off, saying, "Only I, Shen Qingming, am unlucky enough to have met such a heartless person like you!"

He turned away angrily, thinking to himself: "Hmph, I'll make myself catch a cold, and even if I don't, I'll pretend to be sick. I'm not afraid I'll make you suffer!"

Even at this point, he didn't realize that Ruan Miaomiao no longer cared about him. He kept thinking that it was because he was protecting Xiuyun that this woman was jealous.

She felt increasingly dissatisfied with Ruan Miaomiao: jealousy is one thing, but how could she not care about her man at all?

Sensing that Ruan Miaomiao's attitude had changed drastically, and that she and Shen Qingming had been mentioned by name several times, Zhao Xiuyun dared not flirt with her anymore. She could only hide in the room to avoid suspicion, taking out her thin quilt and spreading it on the wooden bed. Resentment towards Ruan Miaomiao began to grow in her heart.

This woman has absolutely no sense of propriety.

If she agreed to share a room with him, he could take bedding from her luggage to make a bed. Unlike now, where if he has a mattress, he has no blanket, and if he has a blanket, he has no mattress.

While cursing Ruan Miaomiao in his heart, Shen Qingming found some wheat straw, spread it on the wooden bed, and made do with sleeping.

"Something seems off about your boyfriend!"

Under the kerosene lamp, Ruan Miaomiao, having finished washing up, was applying face cream when Zhou Weihong, an older educated youth who shared a room with her, spoke up.

Hearing Zhou Weihong speak, Ruan Miaomiao was slightly surprised: would the most upright and frank woman in the novel gossip about people behind their backs?

Could it be because I treated the educated youth to braised pork?

Or has Shen Qingming gone so far that even honest people can't stand it anymore?

In the novel, after the original owner went to the countryside, she became tied to Shen Qingming and Zhao Xiuyun, rarely interacted with the people in the educated youth compound, and had little relationship with the educated youth.

However, later, when the original owner was defiled by Er Laizi in the brigade and forced to marry him, only Zhou Weihong stood up to speak for the original owner.

However, being a nobody, I couldn't offer any real help.

However, in the end, Zhou Weihong is a rare good person.

That's why she immediately chose to share a room with Zhou Weihong.

When she looked up, Zhou Weihong had already lowered her head awkwardly, tidying up the clothes piled on the bedside, as if she had only said those words on impulse.

However, Ruan Miaomiao appreciated the gesture and smiled at Zhou Weihong, saying, "I know, I won't let him take advantage of me again."

Zhou Weihong was grateful for the three pieces of braised pork that Ruan Miaomiao had made for dinner, and couldn't help but remind her.

After reminding them, I immediately regretted it: Why did I say that when they're dating?

Now, hearing Ruan Miaomiao's response, their awkwardness subsided, and the two turned off the kerosene lamp and lay down on the bed to rest...

******

"Hey, Brother Yun, I heard that the new female educated youths are all pretty, especially one surnamed Ruan. She's so fair and delicate, just like freshly made tofu, and smells delicious."

In the Zhou family courtyard, a man wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt, revealing his strong, muscular arms, was lying on a bamboo chair, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, and urea-lined pants. Upon hearing the man who entered say this, he immediately retorted jokingly:

"Hey, Gou Dan, you're thinking about getting a wife? You've got your eye on the new female educated youth. What, are you tired of the old ones?"

Tie Zhu, who followed in behind, remembered the rumors about Zhou Jingyun and immediately tugged at Gou Dan, adding:

"So what if she's an educated youth from the city? Just because she's good-looking doesn't mean she's good enough for our Brother Yun."

"Look at yourself, how many people in our entire brigade can afford urea pants?" In the 1970s, urea pants were also known as "cadre pants." Hearing Tie Zhu's words, Zhou Jingyun proudly rose from his bamboo chair, showing off his urea storage facility:

"Simple life, selling urea."

The bag was turned into a pair of trousers.

Underneath his crotch was a Japanese man.

There's urea on my buttocks.

High-ranking officials, low-ranking officials, all wore the same pair of urea-lined pants.

This urea storage facility of his was made from the urea bags that the brigade rewarded him with last year for hunting three wild boars.

Wearing it is like wearing a shining medal. Who wouldn't envy you if you walked around the brigade wearing it?

Tie Zhu and Gou Dan were also staring longingly at Zhou Jingyun's urea pants, secretly thinking: After the autumn harvest, they must catch a big one so that they can wear urea pants for the New Year this year.

"Let's go, let's go look after Gou Dan's wife!"

Sensing the envious looks from the two, Zhou Jingyun proudly led them outside.
