"It can't be so obvious. If it weren't for me, you would have been exposed." Zhong Xiaodie said in a low voice through gritting her teeth.

Yang Feng was silent and said nothing.

When she first stole the box of vanishing cream and no one noticed, she felt satisfied and happy. But soon she began to feel uneasy and regretful, and worried every day about being discovered.

This emotion reached its peak after being pointed out by Zhong Xiaodie that day.

She couldn't help but think, if even a pig-brained person like Zhong Xiaodie could find out that she stole Su Nan's vanishing cream, would other people find out too?

If she was discovered, she would definitely be sent to jail, and Su Nan would definitely call the police.

Qin Xiaolan and Su Tiantian were imprisoned for three months just for making up stories about Su Nan behind his back. Wouldn't she, a thief, be imprisoned even longer?

"I plan to put the things away quietly." Yang Feng took a few deep breaths and finally made up his mind.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Xiaodie refuted her sharply: "No."

"Why? If we are discovered, not only me but also you will suffer a bad ending." Yang Feng frowned and asked.

Zhong Xiaodie stammered and couldn't explain why, but it was clear that she didn't want to return the favor.

Because she only applied the vanishing cream a few times, she felt that her skin had improved a lot. She had never used anything so good and so expensive before, and she was reluctant to return it.

Who would let go of the lamb that is already at their fingertips?

"We won't be discovered. Look, we made such a big fuss today, but they didn't catch us. What about in the future? As long as we are careful in the future, we won't be discovered. Believe me."

Zhong Xiaodie grabbed Yang Feng's hand with a firm look in her eyes.

Yang Feng felt Zhong Xiaodie's grip getting tighter and tighter, and her heart inevitably wavered. She hesitated for a moment, and before she could say anything, there was a knock on the toilet door.

"Who's in there? It's been a while and others are still coming up."

"Right away." Zhong Xiaodie replied, and then added: "Can you please get me some paper first? I don't think I brought enough."

The people outside complained a few more times before turning around and leaving.

Zhong Xiaodie quickly pushed Yang Feng away, saying, "It's settled."

Yang Feng was assigned the task with a confused look on his face. He did not care about anything else at the moment. He looked around for a while and when he saw that there was no one around, he trotted back to the dormitory.

After dinner in the evening, Su Nan was called out by Zhou Rang.

The two stood under a large mulberry tree outside the educated youth site. Su Nan kicked the pebbles under his feet and asked repeatedly, "What are you doing? You've been sitting here for a week."

Zhou Rang stared at Su Nan for a long time, his jawline tense, as if he was having some psychological struggle. After a long while, he uttered in a deep voice: "Go help the commune do something, I will let Ding Mao help you with your work."

It’s better not to tell her about the black market for now, and wait until everything is stable.

After all, this line of work is still dangerous.

"Brother Ding?" Su Nan tilted her head, somewhat unexpectedly thinking that he would let Ding Mao help her with the work.

"Well, I have a good relationship with him." Zhou Rang nodded.

"Then come earlier and be careful on the road. I will miss you."

In the dim glow of the sunset, the branches of the mulberry tree swayed in the wind. The delicate little girl reached out and grabbed Zhou Rang's thumb, shaking it gently. Her voice like a wind chime exploded in his ears, as if wrapped in honey, sweetening his heart.

All the thorns on Zhou Rang's body were softened by this gentle and delicate voice. An indescribable feeling surged in his heart, and he felt extremely comfortable.

"I will miss you too." The big man said this, feeling a little embarrassed. Two blushes appeared on his face and he scratched the back of his head.

Su Nan couldn't help but burst out laughing at his silly look. After checking that there was no one around, she quickly stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek in a lightning speed.

In an instant, Zhou Rang's face turned completely red like a monkey's butt. He covered his cheeks and looked at Su Nan in disbelief.

"What if someone sees me?" Zhou Rang looked around hurriedly.

"No one's here. Even if someone saw it, so what? I'm not an irresponsible person." Su Nan put his hands behind his back, grinned, patted his chest, and gave Zhou Rang a reassuring look.

Zhou Rang pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, touched the top of Su Nan's head, and said with a smile: "I see, Uncle Su, when will you take charge and make me a regular employee?"

"As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Just wait." Su Nan shook his head in a mysterious manner, looking like a fortune teller who couldn't reveal the secrets.

When it comes to such a big event as confirming a relationship, you should choose a memorable day.

For example, it won't be long before one of the important moments in her life comes. In Su Nan's opinion, that day is a good day to include Zhou Rang in her circle, ahem, to include her in the boyfriend category.

Under the skirt? She's so perverted. No, I won't admit it.

Recently, the Huang family has become one of the headlines in Xiaojia Village because Huang Pingping's photo was put on the publicity board of the county photo studio.

This was a big event and it became a hot topic of conversation after dinner. At the same time, Su Nan's name became famous in the surrounding area.

This is not the first time. Previously, it happened with Xiao Fangyun, Xiao Rong, Xiao Rong's cousin, and this time Huang Pingping. As a result, the young girls who were still on the sidelines are eager to try.

These days, the door of the educated youth center is almost broken down. It's all women from the village who come to see Su Nan, most of them are looking for blind dates and marriages.

There were too many people and Su Nan could not handle it all by himself, so he accepted Liu Yu as his "apprentice". Yes, an apprentice.

In rural areas, there are many people who make a living by their skills, such as tailors, carpenters, bricklayers, etc. As long as they have a rural household registration, they are not subject to the control of speculation.

Even if he accepted the money, it was not illegal, so even if there was a big fuss, no one came to arrest Su Nan.

Because once the educated youth went to the countryside, their household registration would automatically change from their previous place of residence to the place where they went to the countryside.

But Su Nan's act of selling snow cream to Xiao Rong last time could strictly speaking be considered speculation, which was testing the edge of the law, so Su Nan asked Xiao Rong to keep it a secret last time.

Craftsmen usually have several apprentices around them.

Liu Yu was responsible for helping to register information, making itineraries, and doing odd jobs on the side. The tasks were not many, but Su Nan would always pay her a salary.

More or less, it can be considered as extra income.

Because business was picking up, Su Nan also made appropriate adjustments to the prices. If the prices were not too low, there would be too many people and she could not handle it all by herself. It would also be too tiring and not worth it.

So it costs three yuan to do a makeup job, one yuan extra to borrow clothes, and fifty cents extra to do a hairstyle.

After a few days, Su Nan had already earned a considerable amount of money.

Moreover, Su Nan's schedule is already far behind, and there are women from other villages who come to ask her to do their makeup at home, so the fee can at least double.
