Chapter 52: Caught Eavesdropping
"I didn't do anything, and I made ten dollars. Master, I want to go to town some time to see if I can buy some food."
Food is hard to buy now. Food in the supply and marketing cooperatives is the only thing that requires food coupons.
She didn't have any food coupons, so she could only ask if anyone was selling food privately.
Not only does it take a lot of luck to buy this kind of food, but it is also very expensive, almost twice the normal price of food.
Thinking about the novels I had read in my previous life, the people who were reborn all had spaces, farms, shopping malls and so on, but I had nothing.
It’s such a shame to have to buy expensive food and food.
Something that could be done with one dollar now costs two dollars. Doesn't Xia Liang feel cheated?
"Liangliang, Master, here's some food. You won't starve to death. Don't worry about me."
Old Lu smiled kindly. She couldn't get out of bed yet, and the other two old men in the room had gone out to work.
"Master, I make money using the skills you taught me. It's only right that I use this money to buy you some food. By the way, is there anything else you need? Tell me, and I'll go to town to buy it together later."
Mr. Lu smiled and shook his head:
"I'm already this old, I just need something to eat to keep myself from starving to death, nothing else is needed."
"By the way, I heard that you are reading high school textbooks now. Do you want to take the college entrance examination?"
Mr. Lu hadn't had the chance to talk to Xia Liang yet, this girl is so smart.
"Yes, that's right. Master, I think our country can't possibly not resume the college entrance examination forever. If we are lucky, maybe it can be resumed this year! I will learn a little first, and then I will talk about it. Even if I don't resume, it's okay. I will remember everything in my mind, so it won't be in vain."
"You are a very insightful girl."
Mr. Lu was also very pleased and said, "If you recover, you can go to the Medical University."
Medical University, where she has spent most of her life, and she doesn’t know if she will have the chance to go back in this lifetime?
Many of her things and notebooks are hidden in the Medical University. I hope they are in good condition.
"Okay. Master, if the college entrance examination is reinstated, you will definitely be able to go back. Think about it, if colleges and universities want to open classes, they will definitely need talents like you. When the time comes, I will apply to a medical university and become your student."
Xia Liang's words made Mr. Lu laugh out loud:
"Whether he goes to medical school or not, he is still my disciple."
Students are different from apprentices. There are many students, but only a few apprentices.
After being betrayed once, she didn't want to accept any more disciples, but Xia Liang made an exception for her. This was the only exception she made.
"That's fine, Master believes in you."
"By the way, Master, Ning Zhiyuan's legs..."
Xia Liang told him about Ning Zhiyuan's situation, and Mr. Lu pondered for a while:
"Give him acupuncture for another seven days, then bring him here so I can examine him."
Although Xia Liang has a good memory and good comprehension, he has little experience after all. Only when Mr. Lu confirms it in person can he feel at ease.
Xia Liang went back and repeated what Mr. Lu had said. Ning Zhiyuan nodded and fell silent.
Xia Liang's refusal to get married that day made Ning Zhiyuan extremely unhappy, and the two of them didn't talk much in the past few days.
Seeing that there was nothing to do here, Xia Liang prepared to go back and read.
"Xia Liang!"
Being stopped by her employer, Xia Liang had no choice but to stop.
"I meant what I said last time."
"I'm serious too. Ning Zhiyuan, you really don't have to care about that. It was my fault."
"Besides, we don't know each other well. Two people without feelings for each other are tied together for no reason. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
"Marriage is not about anything else. Think about it, if one day you find someone you like and you tie yourself to me, wouldn't that be embarrassing for you?"
"Besides, even if we get divorced, your household registration will say divorced, which is unfair to the girl you like, right?"
Xia Liang felt that she was completely considering Ning Zhiyuan, and she didn't understand why this man was so stubborn?
"Not familiar?"
Ning Zhiyuan chewed over these two words, his eyes as deep as the sea.
"Xia Liang."
He suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed Xia Liang's wrist.
His hands were very strong, and Xia Liang couldn't break free. She even fell into his arms.
Xia Liang tried hard to stand up straight. Ning Zhiyuan's voice was close to her ears: "How dare you say that we are not familiar with each other? Negative distance also counts as not being familiar with each other?"
Xia Liang: Who taught him to say that?
"Xia Liang, don't think you can deny it just because you put on your pants. I'll give you some time to think about it, but don't repeat what I just said in the future."
Xia Liang: This guy is as stubborn as a bull.
"I……"
Xia Liang wanted to retort, but the man suddenly lowered his head and fiercely blocked the little mouth that kept saying things he didn't like to hear.
I don’t know how long it was, but Xia Liang felt she couldn’t breathe anymore, and the man let her go.
He held her little hand, brought it to his chest, and whispered:
"Xia Liang, if you provoke me, don't even think about running away on your own."
Feeling the man's strong heartbeat, hot and rapid, Xia Liang suddenly realized that there was nothing wrong with agreeing.
She had no intention of getting married and was afraid of betrayal. But Ning Zhiyuan was a soldier and he was a serious person. Would he betray her?
Maybe feelings can really come from getting along with each other.
"Besides, don't you want to get rid of your mother's control?"
In the past few days, Wang Bin has dug up all of Xia Liang's ancestors. Ning Zhiyuan felt even more distressed when he saw what Xia Liang had gone through.
Hearing Ning Zhiyuan's words, Xia Liang's body stiffened. Get rid of her mother? Did Ning Zhiyuan say that he wanted to marry her just to help him get rid of Xia's mother? Although she knew that he had good intentions, Xia Liang still felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Did she still think that he was a little attracted to her?
When Xia Liang went out, she was in a mixed mood. Now she couldn't figure out her own thoughts.
The antidote is the antidote. She had never thought about the follow-up to the antidote before. It should be the same in the future.
When I walked into the yard, I suddenly heard a strange sound.
It seems to be Xia Jing? Now that the educated youth have gone to work, who is she talking to?
Xia Liang was curious, so she found a stool and put it in the corner.
She carefully stood up, leaned on the wall and looked towards Xia Jing's room. Perhaps because she was standing too high, without the protection of the courtyard wall, the sounds from next door could also be heard.
Listening to that familiar sound, is this Xia Jing and Zhou Hao rolling around on the kang?
These two really know how to have fun. While everyone else is at work, they shamelessly get together in broad daylight.
Tsk, it was the first time she knew that her good sister was so good at playing. But why did the man's voice sound wrong?
"Jingjing, you are so beautiful."
"Jingjing, I can't bear to..."
This is not Zhou Hao! Xia Liang was startled, but someone carried him down!
It’s Ning Zhiyuan!
"you……"
"When did you learn to eavesdrop?"
Xia Liang was so shocked that she didn't even notice when Ning Zhiyuan came.
