Chapter 17: Passers-by in the Seventies 9

If Ke Xiaoxia was a native with no memory, Zhou Yang's words would be extremely tempting to her.

But Ke Xiaoxia knew that the college entrance examination would definitely be relaxed, and even without Zhou Yang, she could live that kind of life through her own efforts in a few years.

Eating meat tempts her only in the present moment.

Ke Xiaoxia retracted her gaze from the meat and lowered her eyes and said, "A few years from now is too far away for me now. I can't make a decision for myself then."

“So, I can’t give you a definite answer.”

After saying that, Ke Xiaoxia stood up and wanted to leave.

Just as he stood up, Zhou Yang stopped him and said, "If you can't give an answer, then don't give one. It won't affect your eating meat now. Sit down."

Ke Xiaoxia stood there without moving, as if the shame had finally come to her.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang used a little strength to pull Ke Xiaoxia to sit next to him.

"I don't mean to force you, I just want to let you know my thoughts. If you don't agree..."

Zhou Yang paused and said, "You are still young, so it is normal for you to disagree."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The meat is ready."

Zhou Yang broke off a rabbit leg and handed it to Ke Xiaoxia.

Ke Xiaoxia didn't take it. She felt a little embarrassed to eat the meat that was handed to her after just rejecting the person.

Zhou Yang sighed helplessly.

He stuffed the rabbit leg into Ke Xiaoxia's hand and said, "I caught this rabbit because you wanted to eat it. If you don't want to eat it, I can only throw it away."

Ke Xiaoxia finally looked up.

She was a little speechless: "This is meat. Even if I don't want to eat it, you can eat it. If you don't want to eat it, you can take it home."

Even if their family was well off, they couldn't just throw away the rabbit meat.

I said those words on purpose.

Even though Ke Xiaoxia knew it was intentional, she was fooled.

It's meat after all.

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Would you eat it if I didn't say that?"

"Of course I would. I was just praying that I could eat it more often in the future."

Ke Xiaoxia returned to normal.

The previous topic was skipped.

While Ke Xiaoxia was eating the rabbit leg, Zhou Yang roasted another rabbit.

Perhaps because of what happened just now, Ke Xiaoxia's attitude became more natural.

She couldn't help asking, "Why did you roast this one too? One is enough. I can't eat too much."

"If you can't finish them, take them back and eat them. These two rabbits are yours. Divide them after they are roasted. It will be more convenient to eat, and the smell will not be so strong when they are cold."

"The snake will be roasted later. It's for your parents."

Zhou Yang knew about the situation of the Ke family.

He didn't mean to love everyone in the house, he just knew it was not easy to eat secretly in the same room, so he said to share some with Ke Xiaoxia's parents, so that even if Ke Xiaoxia cheated, it wouldn't be obvious.

"If you want to eat meat in the future, you can come to me. Before I go to the army, I can let you eat something good."

Ke Xiaoxia was somewhat touched.

Although she knew that Zhou Yang's motives were not pure, she was still very touched. After all, he was so good to her.

"Thank you."

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "You're welcome." Just remember his kindness and don't be easily fooled by other men.

Ke Xiaoxia stopped eating after eating two rabbit legs. It was not because she was full, but because she wanted to save some appetite for dinner.

Zhou Yang didn't say much. He divided the rabbit meat into several pieces, making them seem smaller, then wrapped them in banana leaves and put them in Ke Xiaoxia's backpack.

"Let's go, let's find something to cover it later."

Zhou Yang found a chestnut tree and didn't let Ke Xiaoxia pick the fruits from the ground. He went straight up to pick them.

Don't stop until the backpack is full.

On the rest of the way, Zhou Yang helped Ke Xiaoxia carry the backpack until he heard voices. Then he gave the backpack to Ke Xiaoxia and walked away by another road.

After Ke Xiaoxia put the basket on his back, he secretly transferred the rabbit meat and snake meat into the space.

From the last experiment with wild boar meat, Ke Xiaoxia already knew that whatever state you put something in will remain the same when you take it out.

These two rabbits are enough for her to eat slowly for several days.

On the way down the mountain, Ke Xiaoxia met a lot of people.

"Xiao Xia, you have a good harvest."

"It's OK. You have a good harvest."

At most they just said hello and didn't ask where the things were found.

At the foot of the mountain, Ke Xiaoxia met Zhu Minghua.

"Xia sister, why didn't you ask me to come with you when you went up the mountain? Come on, I'll help you carry it."

Zhu Minghua took the backpack off Ke Xiaoxia’s back and put it on his own back.

Ke Xiaoxia didn't have time to stop him.

Zhu Minghua was very good at dealing with people: "Xiao Xia sister, I helped you carry the backpack, can you give me some chestnuts? It can be regarded as hard work fee. I really want to eat chestnuts recently."

"Why don't you tell me where you picked them, and I'll call Li Chaoyang to pick some too."

"Is it okay, Xiao Xia sister?"

What else can Ke Xiaoxia say except "OK"?

Zhu Minghua was so good to her, if she said no, she would be very heartless.

That’s right, it was Zhou Yang who found the chestnut tree and it was Zhou Yang who picked the chestnuts.

Whether telling Zhu Minghua or sharing some chestnuts with him, Ke Xiaoxia would feel a little guilty.

Ke Xiaoxia told herself that the things on the mountain belonged to everyone, so it didn't matter what she said, as long as she didn't give the things Zhou Yang picked to Zhu Minghua.

Unfortunately, the brainwashing failed.

Ke Xiaoxia said honestly: "I discovered the chestnut tree with someone else, so I can't tell you. If you really want to eat it, let's go to the mountain to look for it tomorrow. There are a lot of chestnut trees on the mountain."

As for why not give points?

It’s hard to say, so I’d better not say it.

Zhu Minghua's smile froze for a moment, but his tone was still cheerful: "Is that so? Well, I also want to go up the mountain with Xiaoxia, but I didn't have much time before because I had to go to work."

After sending Ke Xiaoxia to Ke's house, Zhu Minghua did not go in.

After watching Ke Xiaoxia enter the house, Zhu Minghua turned and left.

Although he really wanted to know who discovered the chestnut tree with Ke Xiaoxia, Zhu Minghua did not ask or inquire.

He just went to the commune quietly and bought some things.

The next day, Ke Xiaoxia and Zhu Minghua went up the mountain together.

Ke Xiaoxia really wanted to find the chestnut tree, but Zhu Minghua had no such intention at all.

He just thought that he was on an outing with Ke Xiaoxia.

"Xiao Xia, don't worry. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. I don't have to eat chestnuts."

"Come, eat something."

Zhu Minghua handed Ke Xiaoxia a big bun wrapped in paper.

Seeing Ke Xiaoxia looking over, Zhu Minghua said with a smile, "The meat buns from the state-owned restaurant, eat quickly."

Pulling Ke Xiaoxia to sit on a stone nearby, Zhu Minghua stuffed a meat bun into Ke Xiaoxia's hand, then sat next to Ke Xiaoxia and took a bun and started eating.

"Eat quickly, Xiao Xia sister, why are you being so polite to me?"

Ke Xiaoxia ate it, but felt a little complicated.

Thinking about Zhou Yang yesterday and then looking at Zhu Minghua today, Ke Xiaoxia felt even more complicated.

Ke Xiaoxia silently said to the system in her heart: "I really am not cut out to be a scumbag."

The system doesn't understand: [Why do you say that? Isn't this good? The host can eat meat often and has textbooks to study. It will definitely get better and better. ]

Ke Xiaoxia: “…” How should I tell the system that their kindness is actually needed?

Zhou Yang wanted to be with her. Even if Zhu Minghua didn't say it, he definitely didn't just treat her as a sister.

Ke Xiaoxia can accept someone's kindness with peace of mind.

Anyway, you need to live your whole life in this world, so just marry that person.

She is a person who is easily moved. As long as that person does not change, she will definitely not have any other thoughts.

But if there are two people...

She couldn't split herself into two, could she?
