"I won't attend the literacy class. I have limited manpower and I have to go to work at the beginning of the year. I really can't take care of so many things."

She got nothing for the work she did, and all the benefits went to him. As a result, he coaxed her in public, but secretly contacted his ex-fiancée, and the two of them even said bad things about her in letters.

When she thought that the person she once liked turned out to be such a thing, she not only felt stupid, but also a little disgusted.

Zhao Heping was used to being flattered by her. When he heard such words, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes. "I have already said that the incident was a misunderstanding. I coaxed her just to find out the real reason why my parents were killed. I said you were stupid just to confuse her. Can you stop being unreasonable? Do you know how much trouble you will cause me?"

Niu Aixiang is never a taciturn person when facing others, but when facing him, even though she knows she is right, she can never say anything to refute.

She simply pulled up the quilt to cover her head, "Think whatever you want. Anyway, I won't go to the literacy class. Aren't there many people trying to get in touch with you to become a teacher? So you should give this opportunity to someone else."

This is what he once said to her, and she even felt that he was beginning to like her.

The more I think about it, the more stupid I feel.

"You...don't regret it." Zhao Heping waved his sleeves and left. He felt that he had been too good to her and had to explain to her. She had broken up with her family and had nothing now. Apart from him staying with her, she didn't even have a friend to talk to. If he was left alone for a few days, she would know what was good for her.

When Zhao Heping thought this, she probably never imagined that he was the source of her breakup with her family, and she was also the source of her falling out with her friends.

She has no close friends now, and that is because after what happened with Li Rui, others are afraid that they will be abandoned if they become friends with her.

As for Zhao Heping, it was different. He was about to become the principal of a primary school. Many people with a tendency to follow the trend wanted to curry favor with him so as to get a position and be freed from the heavy farm work.

Zhao Heping had been gone for a long time, but Niu Aixiang was still hiding herself in the quilt, twitching, obviously crying.

On the 27th and 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, every household with better conditions would start steaming steamed buns and dumplings. This is a local custom. As supplies were scarce, these were also used as gifts for visiting relatives. As for those with poor conditions, they would also steam some.

Zhang Er and Li Qing both gave them holidays, leaving Jiang Nian and Ye Zhiqiu as the only ones left in the health center.

Ye Zhiqiu cleared out all the dry goods in the kitchen, "Master, what should we do with these dried vegetables? After the New Year, there will be fresh wild vegetables, and these are not rare anymore."

Zhang Er took a lot home last time, and this time Jiang Nian asked him and Li Qing to take a big bag each, and in the end there was still such a big pile.

What’s more, we can’t finish eating it now, and we will only accumulate more and more in the future.

Jiang Nian was also worried when he saw this.

This thing can't be sold for much money, and if you throw it away, someone else will process it bit by bit and dry it.

She thought for a moment and said, "You sort it out. We can just keep some food for ourselves. Send some to Mingzhi and go back to Zhoujia Village to give some to Village Chief Zhou. For the rest, give some to any acquaintances you have, such as some enthusiastic aunties and elders in the village. Tell them that we are new here and are grateful for their care. We don't have anything special, just these dried vegetables, so ask them not to dislike them."

She still remembered that Village Chief Zhou's daughter-in-law Shi Liu loved to take advantage of others, but there was nothing wrong with her character. Her children were also well-behaved, although not clean.
