"Qingqing, who is this comrade?"
He Runqing said with a smile, "This is my fellow townsman, Comrade Zhu Cankui. He came here with me on a tractor."
"Hello." Chen Yifei was polite, still retaining some of the air of a superior from his previous life, though he didn't usually put on airs.
"Comrade Xiao Zhu, I am Qingqing's husband, Chen Yifei."
Zhu Cankui was about to shake hands, thinking that this young man was quite nice!
Comrade He's friends are truly wonderful.
I never expected... it was her husband?
She got married.
Zhu Cankui felt a sudden pang of sadness and stammered, "You got married? I was temporarily transferred to the agricultural technology station for the past month or two, and when I came back to the commune, you... got married?"
He Runqing nodded, blushing, "It's alright, Comrade Zhu, you're a good friend of mine. Chen Yifei and I will treat you to dinner alone next time."
Chen Yifei nodded: "Yes, that's for sure."
Zhu Cankui wanted to laugh, but there was no smile on his face.
There's no doubt about it; Chen Yifei is convinced that this man is in love with Qingqing.
But this naive young wife didn't notice anything at all.
Chen Yifei was helpless; he was attracting unwanted attention without realizing it, but luckily he managed to marry her.
Otherwise, with so many people vying for her, if his wife runs off with someone else, where will his happy life come from?
Zhu Cankui nodded, looking somewhat dejected, and said a few kind words.
He Runqing stopped exchanging pleasantries.
She held Chen Yifei's hand and never let go.
She said earnestly to Zhu Cankui, "Comrade Zhu, I really have something to discuss with you. My husband wants to talk to you about a collaboration."
Zhu Cankui, wearing glasses, entered the house and poured tea for Chen Yifei and his wife.
Then we sat down to talk.
Zhu Cankui wasn't in the zone at first, but Chen Yifei was too professional.
When Chen Yifei talked about mushroom cultivation and the mountains and forests, he spoke eloquently and with great pride, and was very serious.
Zhu Cankui nodded, offered some opinions, and handed Chen Yifei some books he had brought from Shanghai. The two got along quite well.
Zhu Cankui said, "I haven't been in the commune during this period; other comrades have been there. I never expected such a capable person to appear."
“I’ll be visiting your area in the next few days to investigate mushroom cultivation. Can you find someone you know to help me? If possible, I can apply for funding support from the commune and the agricultural technology station.”
“Your husband knows about greenhouse cultivation and temperature control.” Zhu Cankui looked at He Runqing with admiration in his eyes. “Comrade He is very outstanding, and her husband is also very outstanding.”
Zhu Cankui was initially very regretful, but hadn't yet voiced it. He had also considered dating He Runqing.
Unexpectedly, someone beat us to it.
This person knows so much and is a hard-working person; he can't even get angry.
There was even some appreciation.
He Runqing also laughed: "My husband is very capable."
"I'll contact you when I visit your home. These are long-term, technically demanding jobs."
Chen Yifei nodded: "Thank you, Comrade Xiao Zhu. The agricultural technician who was here before had a bad attitude. You are definitely better than him."
"He was just filling in for me for a while, but I'll be staying here for a long time."
"Regarding Comrade Chen, if I do this well, I will have achieved something, and then I will have hope of returning to Shanghai."
Everyone wants to move to a better place. That's normal.
Xiao Zhu is also straightforward, and she spoke her mind.
Chen Yifei also admired this kind of person.
"Okay, we can talk about it later. You go ahead with your work, I'll take my wife home."
Zhu Cankui wanted to talk to He Runqing, but he knew it wasn't appropriate now that she was married.
He could only sigh and nod.
It's a missed opportunity.
After they came out, He Runqing noticed that Chen Yifei remained silent.
He said, "Don't worry, Comrade Zhu is a very good person. He has helped me a lot before."
"The rest of us sent-down youth graduated from high school, while he graduated from junior college. He's much more capable than us. It's a pity he was assigned here when we were assigned jobs, and it's harder for him to return to the city than for us sent-down youth."
He definitely has the ability; you should trust him.
Chen Yifei: "..."
The little girl's explanation made him even more upset.
"You're so satisfied with him?"
"Yes, I feel he was very helpful to you today," He Runqing said cheerfully.
"Comrade He Runqing, did you enjoy talking to him?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
He Runqing is very happy that she has helped her husband resolve this matter.
She's happy as long as she can help.
Chen Yifei didn't say anything, but pinched her little face.
He then got on his bicycle, ready to take her to the educated youth settlement.
He Runqing didn't get on the bicycle at this moment. Instead, he stood in front of the bicycle, looked at Chen Yifei's face, and carefully stroked Chen Yifei's face with both hands.
After watching for a long time, I didn't hear her speak or make any move.
Chen Yifei asked, "What's wrong?"
He Runqing placed one hand under her chin and supported herself with the other. She looked thoughtful, her pouting red lips making her look quite adorable.
"I see."
"What do you know?" Chen Yifei asked curiously.
"You're jealous, Chen Yifei."
Chen Yifei hesitated, then stopped himself from speaking: "..."
"Don't speak, don't try to argue, I can see through you."
While Chen Yifei was in a daze, He Runqing pushed him aside, got on her bicycle, and rode away first.
This is a 28-inch bicycle; she looks tiny when she rides it.
She gave Chen Yifei a "I know everything" look, winked, and immediately ran away.
