No Matchmaking in the 60s

Looking up at the starry sky, the stars twinkled ceaselessly, much like those blinking, beautiful eyes. However, despite being a dark, windy night perfect for a date, Du Jiang fell silent.

Un...

Chapter 26 Sweet Girl

But no matter how happy she was, the smell on her clothes and her body was still disgusting. For example, now, Qian Meili and Chen Xiaozhen's evasive posture made Du Jiang a little embarrassed. She could only raise her hand and say, "Sister Qian, Sister Chen, I have already washed up and changed my clothes."

But even so, Qian Meili still stepped back. Chen Xiaozhen was more polite than her. "It's not that I dislike Du Jiang, it's just that my nose is a bit... sorry."

Du Jiang smiled and said nothing, but just moved aside and did not move forward. Even when they were cooking, the two of them did not ask her to light the fire, which made Du Jiang feel relieved. She also took the opportunity to dry and process the wild vegetables and bitter herbs she had dug in the morning. Perhaps because she had been raising pigs for the whole morning, these bitter herbs were also rejected.

Du Jiang just shrugged her shoulders and thought, "If you don't want to eat it, then forget it." In that case, she would just dry the vegetables and use them as a snack in winter.

Even after the meal was ready, Qian Meili and Chen Xiaozhen's disdain was still there. Du Jiang didn't say anything about it. He just sat until the end of the meal and didn't even say hello to the two of them when he returned to his room.

This situation continued for two days until it got better when Tianniu stood at the door when she went to work that morning.

Although Du Jiang had never seen Tianniu, he could not think of anyone other than Tianniu when she stood at the door waiting for him to go to work early in the morning, not to mention that Tianniu's face was somewhat similar to Aunt Du's.

The young girl standing under the rising sun with a smile on her face makes people feel good, not to mention that the girl has a very sweet appearance and two dimples appear when she smiles, which makes people unable to help but immerse themselves in it. At least Li Hongjun blushed.

Tianniu glanced at the blushing Li Hongjun in the crowd and smiled even sweeter, making Li Hongjun's face almost hot. Finally, Aunt Du, who arrived late, broke the silence, "Tianniu, why are you blocking the door? Hurry up and tell Du Jiang to go to work together. Then you guys should also hurry to the fields, otherwise you will be penalized if you reach the equator."

Upon hearing this, the others nodded, thanked him, and hurried away, leaving behind Du Jiang who needed to go to the pig house and Huo Yang, the leader of the educated youth point.

Du Jiang noticed that this person had the same expression since he left the house, and his eyes had not moved at all. When he saw Aunt Du coming over, he turned around and nodded.

Du Jiang understood what the other party meant with just a nod, and quickly said, "Brother Huo, you go, I'm fine."

"Okay, call me if you need anything," he said and left quickly.

This made Du Jiang feel a little embarrassed, and he smiled sheepishly at Aunt Du who was looking at him.

Aunt Du didn't tease anything, she just looked enviously at the direction Huo Yang left, and then said to Tianniu, "If your brother was like Huo Yang, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams."

As soon as these words came out, the sweet girl who was smiling just now put away her smile and turned stern. "Why are you mentioning him? He's an ungrateful person who can't be fed. And his wife looks so silent, she doesn't seem like a good person either."

As Tianniu spoke, Auntie Du's expression became embarrassed, and her voice lowered involuntarily. "I...I didn't mean to say that about him. So, go to work quickly, go."

Tianniu didn't want her family's shame to be seen by outsiders, so she immediately followed her mother's push and moved closer to Du Jiang, "Let's go, why are you still standing there like an idiot?"

Well, it sounded like it was all his fault, which made Du Jiang and Tianniu have a bad first impression of each other. In Du Jiang's eyes, Tianniu was very sweet-mouthed, while in Tianniu's eyes, Du Jian was just an inconspicuous mung bean sprout with slightly whiter skin but taciturnity.

Although neither of them was particularly fond of the other at this point, they had not reached the point of falling out all of a sudden. Moreover, the sweet girl, who was working for the first time, was still expecting the other party to be contracted to cut grass for the pigs. Perhaps she was trying to make her smile more friendly, and she took Du Jiang's arm affectionately, "Du Jiang, your last name is Du too, so we are really a family. I am nineteen years old, how old are you? You don't look very old, so you should be eighteen. Then I will call you Jiang Mei, and we will be a family from now on. Don't be polite to me if you have anything to say. I am a straightforward person and I say what I think. I hate those conspiracies and calculations the most."

When he said this, he looked at Du Jiang with great interest, which made Du Jiang's eyebrows jump. He pushed the sweet girl away and said, "Well, let me make it clear first, I didn't snatch this job of raising pigs. I was doing well in the fields, but I was asked to raise pigs. Before I had raised the pigs for two days, the people in the yard started to dislike the smell on me."

No wonder she always felt a familiar smell between her nostrils just now. Tianniu then remembered that the smell was the same smell she often smelled on her father from the pigsty. She subconsciously stepped back and distanced herself from Du Jiang.

This blatant disdain left Du Jiang speechless. She glared at the sweet girl unhappily, but it seemed to have no effect. "When you finish feeding the pigs, you will smell like this too."

Tianniu disagreed, "You are here, I will be responsible for collecting grass for the pigs, and you feed the pigs."

All right. Du Jiang didn't want to argue with Tianniu about something that hadn't been decided yet, so he walked towards the pigsty without looking back. Although Du Jiang didn't say anything, Tianniu had a feeling that he was angry. She felt a little embarrassed for some reason and quickly stepped forward. "Sorry, that's not what I meant. I just... well, I really don't mind it. After all, my dad has been feeding me for such a long time, how could I mind it? I just haven't accepted it yet."

Tianniu kept nagging along the way, and Du Jiang didn't want to say a word. Feeling a little tired, she waited until she reached the pig house before stopping. She unlocked the door, pushed it open, and pointed to the pig pen in the yard. "The house is where the pig feed is made. The pig pen is outside the yard. As for the pig manure, I think you know the arrangements in the village better than I do. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, I went up the mountain to cut the pig grass yesterday."

Although it was a pity that they couldn't go up the mountain today, Du Jiang was not the kind of person who liked to take on too much work. He followed the instructions of the sweet girl on the way and divided the work into two parts without hesitation. "You pick grass for the pigs and I feed them. You each carry water once, and you each do half of the cleaning or you can take turns for the whole day."

Okay, this is a division that clearly means no one can take advantage, and the sweet girl has nothing to say, so she can only nod with a pinch of her nose.

However, although she knew from her father how easy it was to raise pigs, when she really started, Tianniu realized that it was not as simple as it sounded. At least the pig feed was not just simple pig grass, but also mixed with some grass bran, wheat bran, rotten vegetable leaves and other things that the village didn't want but the pigs could eat.

It's enough to feed the pigs, but she also has to fetch water. Tianniu gritted her teeth and carried two buckets of water home. She had never fetched water at home before and tears were streaming down her face. If she had known earlier, she would have said something softly in the morning. Maybe Du Jiang would have taken on all the work because he was too shy. It can only be said that Tianniu has a very whimsical ability.
