Xu Zexi had no idea that he was actually a hot commodity.

But if Xu Zexi were so easy to scheme against, he wouldn't be Xu Zexi. Nowadays, it seems like he's the one scheming against others!

Chen Guoqing, who was tricked by Xu Zexi into carrying out a mission, was lying in ambush on the grass when suddenly his nose became so itchy that he scratched his lungs and lungs, feeling that he had never been so uncomfortable in his life.

Chen Guoqing pinched his nose, his face turning bright red. If there were a magnifying glass, you might even see that his two ears had turned into exhaust pipes.

Chen Guoqing's comrades looked at him suspiciously. Was their platoon leader holding in his poop?

Chen Guoqing deserves most of the credit for Xu Zexi's many days of family visit leave this time.

Over the years they served in the army together, Chen Guoqing had been fooled by Xu Zexi quite a bit, but he was kept in the dark the whole time. He even thought that his brother was really loyal and always thought of him when it came to benefits. He even thought that it was thanks to Xu Zexi that he was able to be promoted to platoon leader despite his blockhead mentality.

However, to be fair, although Xu Zexi liked to trick Chen Guoqing, he was genuinely good to him. In fact, Chen Guoqing wasn't wrong; Xu Zexi had indeed secretly helped him rise to platoon leader so quickly.

Brothers, we must progress and move forward together, but when it comes to sabotaging each other, we still have to.

If Chen Guoqing completes his mission smoothly this time, he should be able to get promoted.

Shen's mother's niece, Qi Lian, is one of the few high school students in the village. In addition, she is quite good-looking and usually behaves in a well-mannered manner, so many young men in the village are interested in her.

Later, after Qi Hehua, Shen's mother, was promoted to director of the street office, Qi Lian's status also rose accordingly.

Qi Lian looks a lot like Shen's mother, Qi Hehua. The villagers say that she and her aunt have a blessed appearance, and that she might marry a city worker and be able to get a government-subsidized food ration.

Qi Lian has high aspirations, but on the surface she is kind to everyone.

She had considered all possibilities, but she hadn't thought of the fact that Xu Zexi couldn't swim.

She paused for a moment, then said with a pitiful expression, "No matter what, if you hadn't discovered me falling into the water and called for help first, I might not have been able to wait for anyone to come and save me by now, so I still have to thank you."

Xu Zexi finally understood that this person was determined to pin the credit on him today.

I've heard of people taking the blame for others, but I've never heard of someone trying to pin credit on someone else. Anyone with a conscience should have reacted by now.

But Xu Zexi wasn't going to let her get away with it. He scratched his buzz cut with an embarrassed look and said, "Although I can't swim and didn't jump in to save people, I have the utmost respect for the comrades who rescued people. Luckily, I had my camera with me, and I took pictures of the heroic rescue. These comrades who act bravely and righteously are good role models worthy of emulation by the general public. I even want to write an article with the photos and submit it to the newspaper!"

The onlookers and the three rescuers were incredibly excited when they heard they would be in the newspaper.

"Comrade PLA soldier, although I didn't jump in to save anyone, I came to this riverbank a while ago thinking of helping. Did you film me in the shot?" a bystander asked loudly.

"And us, we also want to help. Are we in the photo?"

"To be in the newspaper! That's incredibly lucky!"

"I wonder if I'll be recognized if I appear in the newspaper."

"Of course you can! You might even become famous!"

"Yes! Young men who haven't gotten married yet will definitely be in high demand and sought after in the future."

"Haha, now that you're still single, you can finally pick one out."

Everyone was talking at once, seemingly forgetting Qi Lian, the instigator.

The weather in November was already cold. After soaking in the water for so long and being blown by the wind after getting ashore, Qi Lian's face had turned blue from the cold. At this moment, she had forgotten why she had done it in the first place.

Everyone gathered around Xu Zexi and chatted happily. Xu Zexi was quite accommodating and asked everyone to stand back in the same spots where they had been watching the commotion. He then took another picture, and everyone was happy.

Seeing everyone's satisfied smiles, Qi Lian gritted her teeth in anger. She never expected that all her scheming would benefit someone else.

Xu Zexi glanced at Qi Lian out of the corner of his eye, seeing her shivering from the cold and gritting her teeth, he couldn't even be bothered to suppress the smile on his lips.

Qi Lian was welcomed home by the enthusiastic villagers.

Xu Zexi had no interest in getting involved, so he rode his bicycle directly to his maternal grandparents' house to meet up with his cousins.

Today, all my cousins ​​were dressed in what they thought were their best clothes and had been waiting for a long time. My younger cousin and younger brother stood at the front door, looking around.

My maternal grandparents, uncles, and aunts didn't go out today either; in this day and age, being able to take a photo is a big deal.

My cousin even invited his fiancée over.

The Yang family is quite large, with four uncles and two aunts. Including Yang Chunqin's siblings, there are seven people in the family. The next generation is even larger, with at least two children in each family, and sometimes as many as five or six. The children in the Yang family have a common characteristic: whether they are boys or girls, they are all robust.

If all the members of the Yang family were present, the scene would truly be described as a vast, bustling mass.

It can be said that the Yang family did not waste any of the genes of a pig butcher family.

Because all their children were strong and healthy, the Yang family especially favored the well-behaved children.

Xu Xinning's three children are the darlings of the Yang family. When the Yang siblings see someone attractive, their favorite thing to do is compare Xu Xinning and her two children to others, and no matter how they compare, they still think their own cousins ​​are the most beautiful.
