Chen Jianguo thought that he had said everything today and couldn't take it back, so he started to become thick-skinned.

Jiang Baige went to the place where tools were stored in the threshing ground, borrowed a backpack and prepared to go to the back mountain to collect firewood. Chen Jianguo also shamelessly wanted to follow her.

You want to chase a wife, but you also want to save face. How can you possibly catch a wife?

The two men went from the threshing ground all the way to the back mountain.

Chen Jianguo grew up climbing and playing on this mountain. He knows exactly where the fruit trees are and where the mushrooms grow.

He walked towards Jiang Baige up the mountain in a somewhat flattering manner, and kept telling her the interesting things that happened on this mountain when he was a child.

Jiang Baige listened with curiosity. In her previous life, she had never participated in any entertainment activities and spent most of her time in the base.

Listening to him talk about his past, she was not only curious but also found it quite entertaining.

At noon, people who went to the market came back one after another. Zhou Xiuying took her daughter shopping early in the morning, but she didn't buy what she wanted and almost got into an argument with someone. If she hadn't met some educated youth from the village, the mother and daughter would have almost suffered a loss today.

The cause of the incident was that Chen Jiaojiao fell in love with a piece of floral cloth, which was the most expensive in the supply and marketing cooperative, costing more than two yuan per foot.

Zhou Xiuying was considering whether to buy it or not. She was ready to pay for the money and the ticket, and was planning to ask her daughter for two feet of cloth to make a piece of clothing. Unexpectedly, before she even took out the money, someone paid for the cloth first.

Moreover, the cloth was still in Chen Jiaojiao's hands and she was unwilling to hand it over to them, so the two sides started arguing in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhou Xiuying was a country woman, and she brought her daughter with her, so naturally she couldn't say many things and was at a disadvantage for a while.

In the end, he didn't buy the cloth, but instead got into an argument with someone and almost got into a fight.

Fortunately, they met some educated youth in the village, and the man did not come to beat her, so Zhou Xiuying and her daughter did not suffer any harm.

Zhou Xiuying and her daughter went home with the educated youth. They just politely thanked them and invited them to their home to sit and have a simple meal before leaving. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan took it seriously and politely sat down and refused to leave.

Zhou Xiuying and Chen Jiaojiao were cooking lunch in the kitchen, while Zhang Yan and Luo Yiyi were basking in the sun in the yard, eating the melon seeds bought by Chen Jiaojiao, looking like guests.

Chen Jianguo and Jiang Baige collected firewood for the whole morning. After sending her home, Jiang Baige didn't even offer him a sip of tea and let him go home.

When Chen Jianguo returned home, he saw two educated youth as soon as he entered the yard. He didn't know what was going on and could only nod to them. Seeing that they were two female comrades, he had nothing to say and hurried into the house.

Zhang Yan nudged Luo Yiyi and asked softly, "Hey, what do you think of this Comrade Chen? He works in the county town, and he's handsome. His father is the village chief."

Luo Yiyi looked at Chen Jianguo's disappearing back and said mischievously, "Not bad! You seem to like him."

Two female educated youth were talking about this handsome man in the yard, as if this man was about to become theirs.

Both of them had their own thoughts. Luo Yiyi looked at Zhang Yan's smile, and her expression changed involuntarily.

She was thinking to herself, since this man hasn't been promised to her yet, it would just depend on who makes the first move.

In the kitchen, Chen Jianguo whispered, "Mom, what do the two educated youth outside do? Why did you invite them home?"

Chen Jiaojiao was afraid that his brother didn't know the situation, so she whispered in his ear and told him what happened when he was walking outside today.

At least the other party had helped his family, so Chen Jianguo didn't say anything else and had to leave through the back door.

When Jiang Baige returned home, Grandma Meng had already prepared breakfast.

She took out a fish. She hadn't eaten fish for a long time, and today she suddenly wanted to eat fish.

Fortunately, the space has a fresh-keeping function, otherwise these live fish would have gone bad long ago.

"Grandma Meng, let's have fish for lunch! I just caught some in the river. Do you know how to cook fish?"

When Grandma Meng heard about eating fish, she laughed and said, "I heard that there are a lot of fish in the river behind the mountain every summer. Every year, the children in the village go to catch them. I can't see, so I've never caught one."

These days, even those with healthy hands and feet can’t make a living, let alone those who can’t see. It’s good enough if you don’t starve to death.

Jiang Baige's fish was raised in the fish tank in her space. There was a row of more than a dozen fish tanks in her space, which contained mandarin fish, sea bass, grass carp, carp, as well as many sea fish, lobsters and river shrimps. However, they were not convenient to eat, so she never thought of taking them out.

She had just passed by here before and never wanted to eat it. But today she was in a good mood, so she caught one to eat. Anyway, there were only two of them at home, and Grandma Meng wouldn't ask any more questions.

A silver carp weighing five or six pounds was rolling around on the ground. Jiang Baige was suddenly in trouble after catching such a big fish.

The fish won't die if she doesn't eat it, but she doesn't know how to kill it, so she's really anxious.

When Grandma Meng heard the sound of the fish jumping, she said anxiously, "Go find Jianguo and ask him to help kill the fish."

Jiang Baige was a little annoyed. How was he supposed to explain the origin of such a big fish when he was called here?

The fish was taken out and couldn't be put back, so she put the knife back to its place and went to the next room.

When Jiang Baige arrived at the Chen family's gate, she saw that the door was not closed, so she walked straight into the yard.

Looking at the two female comrades in the yard, my eyes couldn't help but narrow. Why were these two people here?

When Jiang Baige saw Zhang Yan and the others, Zhang Yan and Luo Yiyi also saw Jiang Baige.

Zhang Yan asked unkindly, "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Baige laughed in her heart: "This person takes herself too seriously. Normally, when I saw her chasing after Chen Jianguo, I thought I had misunderstood her. But now, seeing her speaking in such a tone, Jiang Baige couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Could it be that this woman still thinks of herself as the master?"

Zhou Xiuying cooked porridge, fried some pickles, and ran out to call them to eat.

"Comrade Jiang, why are you here? Jiaojiao is inside. Have you eaten? Come in and sit down!"

Jiang Baige was a little unhappy at this moment. This Chen Jianguo was a hottie. He said he liked her in the morning, and now he even came to her house to follow her.

In order to prevent others from noticing anything, Jiang Baige made an excuse.

"Aunt, I heard that the village chief went to town today. I want to ask if he received our letter?"

Zhou Xiuying smiled and said, "Your uncle really went out to get some mail today. He has a meeting in town and shouldn't be back until the afternoon. How come you knew there was a letter from home?"

Jiang Baige smiled and said, "I've been here for more than three months and haven't received any letters from home. I guess this time there should be one."

Zhang Yan listened to her words with disdain. What's the point of sending a letter? It's not like sending money. Unlike her family, her mother had already said that she would send her fifteen yuan every month.

Not wanting to see Zhang Yan and the others, Jiang Baige chatted briefly and then went home.

Only Zhang Yan and Luo Yiyi were left in the yard.

Zhou Xiuying said, "Comrades, let's eat! The meal is ready."

There is no harm without comparison. Zhou Xiuying felt uncomfortable when she looked at the two educated youth. When they were guests at someone else's house, they had to be called by the host to eat, and they didn't know how to help. If she married such a person, with his daughter-in-law-like personality, she would have a hard time in the future.
