The two came to the kitchen. He Xianqiu squatted down and looked at the rabbit in the cage, then touched it. The rabbit's fur was indeed very soft.

Seeing that she was very interested in the rabbit fur, Ji Chenzhou thought he could keep the rabbit fur for a while.

He Xianqiu touched the rabbit for a while, then stood up and instructed Ji Chenzhou to clean the rabbit. Ji Chenzhou nodded, then bent down and caught the rabbit.

He Xianqiu watched him clean the rabbit and instructed him, "Wash the rabbit meat and wipe it dry with a clean rag. We will make some spicy dried rabbit meat later."

Ji Chenzhou nodded, wiped the moisture with a clean cloth, and then looked at He Xianqiu again.

He Xianqiu instructed him to cut the rabbit meat into long strips, and then marinated it with a bunch of spices. After waiting for more than ten minutes until it was almost marinated, he asked Ji Chenzhou to stir-fry it.

After frying for a while, the aroma wafted in the kitchen, and the taste was very rich. Then after frying for a while, He Xianqiu asked Ji Chenzhou to bring it to the basin.

Ji Chenzhou obediently put the fried rabbit meat into the bowl. He Xianqiu looked into the bowl and was very satisfied with the spicy dried rabbit meat that made him drool.

The dried rabbit meat is browned and covered with spices, like it is wearing a gauze dress. It is still steaming and looks very tempting.

Because none of the three of them could eat spicy food, He Xianqiu only asked Ji Chenzhou to put a small amount of chili.

The bright red peppers and the tender and delicious rabbit meat will whet your appetite just by looking at them.

The dried rabbit meat was ready. The two of them cleaned up the kitchen and left with the basin.

He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou came to the main room. Old Master Zhong smelled the fragrance and walked over.

The smell is so fragrant that it makes people drool.

Mr. Zhong looked at the dried rabbit meat in the basin and asked, "Is it ready to eat?"

He Xianqiu nodded, and Master Zhong quickly reached out and picked up one with chopsticks. He took a bite and his eyes lit up. This was so delicious. The spicy dried meat was chewy and had a mellow aroma that made people linger. The taste was really good.

He nodded with satisfaction: "It tastes good, a little spicy, but the spiciness whets my appetite."

As he spoke, Mr. Zhong reached out and picked up another one to eat, looking extremely satisfied.

He Xianqiu handed the chopsticks next to her to Ji Chenzhou, asking him to pick up some food and eat it quickly. Then she picked up the dried meat and started eating it herself.

The three of them ate with gusto. He Xianqiu hadn't eaten such strong-tasting jerky for a long time, so she ate it very happily. Ji Chenzhou tried one and also thought it tasted very good.

All three of them thought it was delicious, so they were very active in picking up the jerky with chopsticks.

When the basin was empty except for some residue, the three of them put down their chopsticks.

He Xianqiu ate a lot and she is very full now.

Thinking that it was always Ji Chenzhou who provided the ingredients and Grandpa Zhong who provided the place, and she just ate and drank for free, she felt a little guilty.

So He Xianqiu decided that next time he went to the commune, he would buy some food and bring it with him so that he couldn’t just eat and drink for free every time.

And with a place to cook, He Xianqiu doesn't have to worry about having no place to cook the food he buys.

In fact, she could also cook noodles at the educated youth center, but if she cooked every time, what would happen if others became jealous? So far, He Xianqiu has only cooked noodles once at the educated youth center and then distributed it to the people there.

Now that he doesn’t have to worry about cooking, He Xianqiu can buy some and process it here.

She can't cook, but Ji Chenzhou and Mr. Zhong both can.

She was thinking and planning what ingredients to buy when she went to the commune.

Ji Chenzhou, who was standing by, saw her in a daze, and as it was getting late, he called her.

"He Zhiqing, it's getting late. Let me take you back."

He Xianqiu heard the voice and came back to her senses: "Okay."

Afterwards, the two said goodbye to Mr. Zhong and left his house.

By now, the sun had set and it was getting dark, but the road was still visible.

The two were walking together on the path when He Xianqiu suddenly heard a sound in the haystack. She was startled and was about to speak when Ji Chenzhou covered her mouth.

Then the two of them heard a voice coming from the haystack, the sound of a man and a woman talking.

"You damned devil, why did you come to me at this time?"

"I came here because I went to the commune and bought you something. Besides, your old man went to the commune, so I dared to come to you."

"What did you buy?"

"Don't be in a hurry, just be intimate first, it's been a long time since we last saw each other."

He Xianqiu originally thought that the couple couldn't help themselves and were intimate in the wild, but he didn't expect it to be an affair.

Then, listening to the two people's clicking sounds, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou looked at each other.

He Xianqiu felt extremely embarrassed when she thought about encountering this kind of situation with other people, and her face turned red.

Ji Chenzhou wasn't much better off; his ears and even his neck were red.

But it was dark, and neither of them could see the blush on the other's face, nor could they see the other's face. They were just a little embarrassed.

It was extremely awkward to think of the two of them still being affectionate in the haystack, and them being so close to them.

Unfortunately, the two people who are having an affair are still unaware of the situation and are still being affectionate.

At this time, the two men started talking again, chatting.

"Xiu Ju, why don't you not go home today?"

"What the hell are you talking about? How can I not go back?"

When Ji Chenzhou heard the woman's name, he understood.

He Xianqiu felt a headache after hearing what she heard. She thought that she might not be able to get through the road ahead. She also didn't want to hear the two people flirting, so she tugged at Ji Chenzhou's sleeve.

Ji Chenzhou noticed her actions and understood what she meant, and then they returned the same way.

Ji Chenzhou was not willing to eavesdrop either. Besides, what was good about what was said about the affair? It had nothing to do with him.

So he held He Xianqiu's hand and walked back. He was used to walking at night, so he walked steadily.

But He Xianqiu walked very carefully, trying not to make any noise and attract the attention of the two men.

But she never expected that even though she was so careful, she still stepped on the dried tree roots and made a noise.

Although the two people in the haystack were still being intimate, they were startled when they heard the sound, and the woman screamed on the spot.

"Ah, who's there?"

Then the two of them thought that their affair had been discovered, and they panicked and quickly put on their clothes.

When He Xianqiu heard the woman screaming, she thought to herself, "Oh no!" She didn't expect to step on a tree root and make a noise.

Afraid that the two men would discover that it was her and Ji Chenzhou, they ran away and left the place.

As they ran, they heard the woman speak in fear.

"Dazhu, what should we do? If we are discovered, we will be thrown into the trash can."

The man said impatiently, "How should I know what to do?"

Ji Chenzhou took He Xianqiu by the hand and brought her to another place. He stopped only when he knew he could no longer hear the voices of the two people.

He Xianqiu was tired from running and was panting.

These two people are so bold, they just find a haystack to have an affair.

Perhaps they thought that no one walked on the path and no one would notice them, so they walked around in a blatant manner.

He Xianqiu bent over, looked up and asked, "Do you know who these two people are?"

Ji Chenzhou was still holding her hand, but he quickly let go and said unnaturally, "I know, it's Aunt Xiuju from Uncle Tie's family and Wu Dazhu."

He Xianqiu nodded, although she still didn't know who these two people were.

Ji Chenzhou never expected that Aunt Xiu Ju and Wu Dazhui, who was always stealing and idle, were two people who had nothing in common, but they were together. There was at least a dozen years difference between them in age, and Aunt Xiu Ju's son was the same age as Wu Dazhui.

Thinking of this, Ji Chenzhou's face became a little subtle. These two people were really bold and shameless.

Perhaps because of this incident, Ji Chenzhou and He Xianqiu were unwilling to cross the alley, for fear that the two men were still there.

So Ji Chenzhou took He Xianqiu and took the open road, but he was afraid that people with big mouths would spread rumors about them, which would be bad for both of them. Thinking that less trouble is better, Ji Chenzhou and He Xianqiu kept some distance from each other.

Ji Chenzhou let He Xianqiu walk in front of him, so that it would be easier for him to protect her. If anything happened within his field of vision, he could rush over to protect her at the first moment.

Although He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were some distance apart, He Xianqiu still felt a little embarrassed when he thought about what had just happened.

How could I be so unlucky to encounter such a thing?

Thinking about what happened just now, neither of them said anything and just walked in silence.

He Xianqiu walked in front. Her steps were a little stiff, but she still tried hard to move forward, determined not to let Ji Chenzhou notice her embarrassment.

It was already dark and there was no one on the road. He Xianqiu couldn't see the road ahead clearly, so he stopped.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Ji Chenzhou asked, "What's wrong?"

He Xianqiu replied: "I couldn't see the road, so I stopped."

Ji Chenzhou heard her say that, and he whispered, "There's no one here now, let's walk side by side. I'm used to walking at night, and I know the way."

He Xianqiu nodded, and then the two of them walked side by side. Perhaps considering that she walked slower, Ji Chenzhou even slowed down his pace.

The two walked for a few minutes and soon arrived at the educated youth point.

Thinking that he must not let other people know, Ji Chenzhou stopped, leaving some way for He Xianqiu to pass by himself.

He Xianqiu waved goodbye to Ji Chenzhou, then turned and walked towards the educated youth point. Perhaps because Ji Chenzhou was watching her, she was not afraid, but she quickened her pace.

Ji Chenzhou stood aside and watched He Xianqiu walk into the educated youth site.

Ji Chenzhou watched He Xianqiu walk into the educated youth point until his figure disappeared, then he withdrew his gaze and turned away.

Besides, when He Xianqiu returned to the educated youth center, she went into the dormitory. When Zhang Zhijuan saw her, she asked, "Where have you been? I didn't see you at dinner time."

He Xianqiu explained: "I wandered around the brigade for a while, but I didn't expect it to be dark, so I hurried back."

Zhang Zhijuan said: "Don't do this next time. You, a girl, are not safe either."

He Xianqiu nodded: "I see, thank you Sister Zhijuan for your concern."

Zhao Yaling heard the conversation between the two and her eyes flashed. She didn't quite believe that He Xianqiu came back alone.
