Anyway, she just wanted to be by their side and stop Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan from getting along.

Xu Nuannuan chuckled: "I've made quite a few friends here, and I don't want to make new friends for the time being. I might be letting you down."

"But I want to help Aunt Mei repay you."

Jiang Ye said, "This is our family affair. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to do anything to repay me."

"I." Zhang Xiaoyan wanted to say that they would be related in the future, but after all, she hadn't been engaged to Jiang Ye yet, so she could only say implicitly: "Think about it, your grandpa and my grandfather have such a good relationship, and the relationship between our two families is almost like family. I have always regarded your grandpa as my own grandma and grandpa, so shouldn't I share your worries?"

Jiang Ye: "But I don't think the relationship between our two families is that good."

He didn't know what his maternal grandfather's relationship was like with Old Man Zhang before he could remember, but since he could remember, his family didn't have much contact with the Zhang family. Although Zhang Xiaoyan didn't like to go to his house, she would usually bring home something. He had no good feelings for this woman, but rather felt a little disgusted.

"Brother Jiang Ye, you haven't been home for a while. Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for a long time and you've become unfamiliar with me. It will be fine when we spend more time together."

Jiang Ye frowned irritably: "We are going to eat, go find your parents."

"Brother Jiang Ye."

"If she doesn't leave, let's go." Jiang Ye said to Xu Nuannuan.

Afterwards, they walked towards Mei Xiangcao together. Xu Nuannuan didn't ask Jiang Ye about Zhang Xiaoyan's affairs, but Jiang Ye took the initiative to tell her: "I heard from my mother that my maternal grandfather and her grandfather used to be good friends. The neighbors also said so. My maternal grandfather passed away shortly after I was born. When I was four years old, my father disappeared. My mother raised the three of us alone. I didn't see her family help our family in any way. I really didn't know her that well."

Xu Nuannuan smiled and said, "She's not important, just ignore her."

When Mei Xiangcao saw Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan coming together, they really looked like a loving couple.

He quickly greeted her with a smile, "Aye, Nuannuan, you two are here together."

"Auntie, I met Comrade Jiang Ye on the road and came here with him." Xu Nuannuan said.

"Okay, okay, wait a moment, dinner will be served soon."

"good."

After Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan walked over there together, Zhang Xiaoyan felt a little embarrassed. She was rejected by Jiang Ye again and again, and it was difficult for her to chase him, so she could only stomp her feet in anger.

She turned her head to look in the direction of her parents, and just then her mother called her, so she went to find her mother.

As soon as she walked up to Zhang Qi, she began to mutter, "Mom, you and Dad should have seen just now how close Brother Jiang Ye and that female educated youth are. Brother Jiang Ye can't have anything with that female educated youth. Otherwise, how can I marry into the Jiang family?"

Zhang Qi was suspicious. He turned his head and glanced at Xu Nuannuan, curling his lips. "She's an educated youth from the city, and she's so beautiful. Jiang Ye is not only a peasant, but also a bastard. How could she be interested in Jiang Ye?"

"Who knows? Think about the few female educated youth in our village before. Some of them looked down on the men in our village and would try to seduce them to work for them. I think she's the same. After a while, when she can go to the city, she will dump Brother Jiang Ye. It would be bad if she tricked the Jiang family's treasure away again."

There is another possibility, she has already charmed Brother Jiang Ye, and let Brother Jiang Ye tell her about the existence of the Jiang family's treasure. She is willing to marry Brother Jiang Ye, and for the sake of the treasure, she will always live here with Jiang Ye."

Zhang Qi spat, "She's nothing but a foxy woman. Don't panic yet. Let our family discuss this with your grandfather. We absolutely cannot let the Jiang family's treasure fall into the hands of outsiders."

"Okay, Mom."

Xu Nuannuan was chatting with the Jiang family when Miao found her and said, "Nuannuan, where were you just now? I went to the educated youth camp to get dishes and chopsticks, but I didn't see you, so I brought them here for you."

"Thank you, Miaomiao."

Xu Nuannuan took the bowl and chopsticks, and started to get her meal a few minutes later.

The members of the commune and the educated youth were not separated, and they all stood in the same line to get their meals. Xu Nuannuan got her meals with the Jiang family and ate with them afterwards.

After everyone finished eating, no one went home because there was still some rice left in the two big pots. If you eat quickly, you can get another bowl.

There was no place to sit in the threshing ground, so everyone squatted on the ground. Xu Nuannuan followed the local customs and squatted on the ground with the Jiang family.

Fu Yunqi came to Mei Xiangcao with a bowl in hand and a smile on his face to chat with her. Mei Xiangcao pointed to the spot next to her and said, "Squat here."

Fu Yunqi squatted down immediately. Although he felt that the posture was a little strange, reminding him of squatting in the toilet at home, he felt quite happy to have a meal in such a lively atmosphere.
