As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhang Erniu suddenly wanted to slap himself. How could "handsome" be used to describe a delicate and soft girl like Gu Zhiqing?

But recalling that scene just now, he felt that Gu An'an was really incredibly handsome, a level of handsomeness that he could never reach in his lifetime.

Don't you think I'm scary?

Wang Erniu immediately shook his head, "You always have to use special methods to deal with annoying people."

He understands the principles, but he just can't bring himself to take the plunge, so he's constantly hampered.

"You have good taste."

Upon receiving Gu An'an's praise, Wang Erniu immediately straightened his back. He felt that Gu, the educated youth, was quite discerning, unlike the other people in the village who thought he was stupid and wanted to take advantage of him.

“Gu Zhiqing, this little bit of work can be done by noon. You can start the stove and then go move the things.”

After all that commotion, we can't go back to live there now, otherwise we'll be bullied.

When Gu An'an entered the room, she saw a woman in her twenties cleaning the windows with her head down. When she saw them come in, she smiled shyly and said, "You must be Gu and Zhou, the educated youth. I'm Erniu's wife. I'm here to help him."

Fearing a misunderstanding, the woman quickly offered an explanation.

She wasn't supposed to come, but seeing the expensive things her husband brought back, and remembering the troublesome kids at the educated youth compound, she got up early to settle the children and then came over.

Seeing the woman's uneasy appearance, Gu An'an smiled and revealed her dimples, completely different from her crazy demeanor just now.

"Sister-in-law, you're so kind. We were just about to do it ourselves, but you've already taken care of it for us."

The woman was so touched by her smile that her tension vanished instantly, and she waved her hands repeatedly.

"You're so kind. Yesterday you had Erniu bring back so many wonderful things that we'd never even seen before. The children were overjoyed."

As she spoke, the woman picked up a rag and began wiping again. "I'll heat the kang (heated brick bed). You all hurry up and move your things over from next door."

Gu An'an was too embarrassed to leave the kang (heated brick bed) for Er Niu's wife to heat, so she quickly brought in a pile of firewood from the yard and lit the kang in no time.

"Wow! Little Gu, you're really amazing."

Having seen too many educated youths who were lazy and ignorant of farming, Gu An'an was surprised that even lighting a fire was something to be praised. Gu An'an was speechless.

After the kang (heated brick bed) was heated, the two went next door to get their things.

As soon as Li Yumei entered the dormitory, she sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) crying and complaining. As if she had seen a ghost, she quickly climbed onto the bed, wrapped herself in the quilt, and hid in a corner.

Gu An'an: ...You're so agile, it's a shame you're not a monkey.

Dealing with people once is enough; Gu An'an wouldn't waste her energy on such a meaningless thing.

He picked up the four corners of the bed sheet, neatly tied a knot, and tossed it over his shoulder. He also picked up the bundle that had been neatly packed beside the bed and walked out with steady steps.

This is the speed and habit she developed in the apocalypse.

Zhou Yue was about to roll up her bedding when she saw how quickly Gu An'an did it, so she wanted to learn from her.

Whether it was because she was clumsy or the blanket was disobedient, her attempt to look cool failed, and she almost threw herself away.

In the end, I put down the blanket and resigned myself to following my own steps.

"Sigh! Some people treat others as friends, but then those people just leave without a second thought, completely ignoring them. It's hilarious."

Whenever Qin Xue saw Zhou Yue in a slightly unpleasant mood, she would feel compelled to make a sarcastic remark.

Zhou Yue was about to retort, thinking that she didn't have much, and why should she ask An'an for help when she could do it herself?

Before he could even finish speaking, Gu An'an's voice came from the doorway.

"You don't need to worry about what's between me and Xiaoyueyue. You should worry about yourself! You've been chasing after her for so many years, but she still doesn't have feelings for you. How pathetic."

Qin Xue: ......

Zhou Yue was ecstatic; she'd gotten herself into trouble for being so foul-mouthed.

Serves you right!

The two left carrying piles of things, leaving Qin Xue behind, filled with impotent rage but unable to get a response.

Li Yumei was terrified. Seeing that Gu An'an didn't lay a hand on her, she felt only relief.

Thankfully, that devil moved out today, otherwise she wouldn't dare close her eyes to sleep.

Lin Qingqing pulled the blanket to make room, glanced sideways at the roaring Qin Xue, her eyes full of disdain. As expected, she was useless. Even ten of her wouldn't be able to beat the two next door.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Qin Xue was both proud and insecure. Although Lin Qingqing was tidying up with her head down, Qin Xue still noticed the corners of her mouth curving up.

Whether I laugh or not is none of your business.

You're laughing at me.

Lin Qingqing, of course, wouldn't admit it, and sneered, "What do you have that I can laugh at? Are you saying that what they just said is true?"

Qin Xue's expression froze, as if a sore spot had been touched.

"Nonsense, Xie Yuan likes me. We've been childhood sweethearts, inseparable since we were little. You can't compare to him. Don't think I don't know you've got your eye on Xie Yuan too. Let me tell you, as long as I'm around, you'll never get what you want in this lifetime."

Qin Xue's radar is always incredibly accurate when it comes to any man who tries to steal Xie Yuan from her.

Their eyes met in the space, startling Li Yumei, who was huddled in the corner.

Qin Xue knew she liked Xie Zhiqing; after all, he had made it quite obvious.

But when did Lin Qingqing take a liking to Xie Zhiqing? How come she didn't know?

Li Yumei looked at Zhang Zhaodi, who was curled up in bed and silent, but received no response at all. It was as if she had cast her flirtatious glances at a blind man.

The mud-brick houses in the educated youth compound had very poor sound insulation. If the female educated youth spoke loudly, the male educated youth could hear almost everything.
