Chapter 27 Little White Flower

Yang Xiaojing looked at Chen Miaomiao coldly.

Chen Miaomiao was aggrieved and kept insisting that she hadn't done anything. The noise attracted the attention of the male educated youth who had returned to get farm tools. He started to defend Yang Xiaojing and the other old educated youth who had gone to the countryside, saying:

"Yang Xiaojing, even though it was Chen Zhiqing who brought up the topic just now, she didn't force you to speak. You were the one who wanted to continue. Now that you've angered Lu Zhiqing, why are you taking your anger out on Chen Zhiqing?"

Yang Xiaojing said angrily, "Who took their anger out on her? Who bullied her?"

The young man pointed at Chen Miaomiao and said, "Why didn't you bully Chen Zhiqing? You even bullied him to tears!"

Yang Xiaojing looked back and saw that, as expected, Chen Miaomiao had red eyes and was sobbing. Wasn't she crying?

"Why are you crying?" Yang Xiaojing opened her eyes wide in shock, her voice sharp: "What did I say to you? Why are you crying?!"

“No, no.”

Chen Miaomiao stepped back slowly, shaking her head repeatedly.

Wiping away the unfounded tears from the corners of her eyes, Chen Miaomiao forced a smile towards the young man.

"Xu Zhiqing, thank you for your kindness, but you misunderstood. I have a very good relationship with Yang Zhiqing."

Her submissive look, coupled with such a set of rhetoric, made it better not to say anything. The male educated youth accused Yang Xiaojing even more indignantly:

"Yang Xiaojing, don't go too far!"

Yang Xiaojing was so angry that she almost died. She collapsed and roared, "Xu Yao, are you sick?!"

Chen Miaomiao failed to gain the upper hand in front of Lu Miao, but by chance, with the help of Yang Xiaojing, she initially established the image of a little white flower in the minds of the male educated youth.

Although she still had no say among the female educated youth, Chen Miaomiao, who showed weakness and was "considerate and gentle", successfully occupied a place among the male educated youth.

For Chen Miaomiao, this was the only move that went smoothly since she encountered difficulties recently.

But these have nothing to do with Lu Miao. She has to deal with her own affairs for a while, so how can she have the time to care about others?

After a quick few showers, Lu Miao went to the pond with Ren Bingxin to wash clothes. When she came back from washing clothes, half of her body was sweating again. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she fetched water and washed herself again before she was satisfied.

There were two bags of peach cakes in the wicker box. I only finished the first bag yesterday.

The next morning, Lu Miao couldn't find a suitable bag to pack the other bag of peach cakes, so he simply took the whole bag with him.

After everything was packed up, Lu Miao put on his hat, picked up the hoe and walked out from behind the main room door.

As soon as she left the house, Chen Miaomiao opened the door and Qianqian packed up some things and followed her out of the educated youth center.

When Lu Miao met Fu Jingyou at the opposite corner of the pond, Chen Miaomiao was standing under the shadow of the tree on this side of the pond, watching coldly.

Watching Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou turning into the small road, talking and laughing like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, Chen Miaomiao clenched her fists and her expression suddenly became gloomy. It was not until she suddenly heard a voice of "Chen Zhiqing" from behind that she came to her senses, quickly adjusted her expression and turned around.

"Xu Zhiqing."

Seeing that it was Xu Zhiqing, Xu Yao, who had spoken for her before, Chen Miaomiao immediately softened her voice: "Xu Zhiqing, are you going to the fields too?"

Xu Yao was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and had a handsome appearance. Except that he was a little tanned and thin due to working, his appearance and conditions could barely be ranked among the male educated youth.

And because he was an old educated youth, he also had some interpersonal relationships in the production team.

Chen Miaomiao didn't mind getting along with him.

"Yeah, if you work a little longer in the morning, you'll be less exposed to the sun at noon." Xu Yao laughed heartily. "Chen Zhiqing, which field are you going to work today?"

Chen Miaomiao smiled and replied, "The cotton fields were not planted yet yesterday. They should be planted in the cotton fields for the next few days."

"Well, I'm going there too. Let's go together." Xu Yao naturally took the small hoe from Chen Miaomiao's hand, "I'll help you."

"Thank you, Xu Zhiqing."

"You're welcome. It's all done conveniently."

Although what happened was slightly different from her memory, the situation was not too bad. At least there were still people on her side.

In the future, as long as she makes good plans...

The corners of Chen Miaomiao's lips twitched with excitement, and she lowered her head shyly, actually hiding the dark light in her eyes.

After a whole morning of cheering and waving flags, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou finally cleared the two acres of land. When they were walking back at noon, Lu Miao's steps were full of joy, and he kept rushing forward, wishing he could fly:

"Fu Jingyou, hurry up, walk faster!"

"alright."

After running and stopping along the way, when we arrived at Fu's house, the time was half of what it took to set out in the morning.

Fu Jingyou brought Lu Miao into the house through the back door. He put the turtle he caught yesterday in a basin.

The turtle was almost as big as the wooden basin. When no one was around, it would curl up in the basin and not move.

When the turtle heard the sound of the kitchen back door and saw someone coming in, it was immediately frightened. Its neck stretched out like a snake, and it flapped its limbs continuously, trying to escape from the basin.

Lu Miao originally wanted to get closer to take a look, but when she saw this scene and thought of what Fu Jingyou had said before, that the turtle could bite off fingers, she was so scared that she took a few steps back and stuck to Fu Jingyou, not daring to move.

Fu Jingyou calmly took a step aside and kept a slight distance between them.

Putting down the hoe, bamboo basket, and honeysuckle wreath, he picked up the wooden barrel beside the kitchen table and walked to the backyard. Lu Miao trotted after him, "What are you going to do?"

Fu Jingyou didn't say anything. He simply removed the wooden board on the well in the backyard and threw the bucket into the well with a "bang".

He wrapped his palms around the rope twice, the muscles on his arms bulged, and he quickly and skillfully drew up a bucket of water.

Putting the bucket on the edge of the well, he looked sideways at Lu Miao.

Lu Miao's face was sweaty, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves and put on a bright smile, "I just felt uncomfortable because of the sweating!"

Clear well water poured out of the bucket and landed on his hands, causing Lu Miao to exclaim softly, "Wow... so cold!"

Fu Jingyou held the handle of the bucket, reduced the angle of the bucket, and reminded in a deep voice: "Squat down a little, don't get your shoes dirty."

"I know!" Lu Miao pursed her rosy lips and did as she was told. "It's so hot out here, it's better to cool down! Why did you put the bucket back? Pour more water!"

“…”

Fu Jingyou was speechless and could only obey her.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. After drinking a bucket of well water, the heat on my body is instantly gone.

After Lu Miao finished washing, Fu Jingyou took the next turn.

Fu Jingyou moved quickly. He washed his arms and legs twice, wiped his face roughly, and then went from the kitchen to the front room. After rummaging around for a long time, he found a small stool.

He handed the small stool to Lu Miao and asked in a slow voice, "What should we do?"

It's about soft-shelled turtle.

Lu Miao put down the small stool and sat down, hugging his knees with his hands and thinking for a while, "Hmm... the turtle needs to be scalded with hot water. There is a layer of skin on its body that needs to be removed. If there is any fat in the belly, it also needs to be removed. That is very fishy! Oh, and we need wine..."
