The two men rode their bicycles, the wheels turning slowly, as if time had slowed down. Their figures slowly passed by Uncle Xu and his group, and the breeze gently caressed their faces, bringing a hint of coolness.
Their faces were filled with bright smiles, like flowers blooming in spring. They greeted Uncle Xu, Accountant Xu, and Uncle Chen warmly: "Uncle, Accountant Xu, Uncle Chen.
"Hey, Jiaojiao, you're off work. Jiawen is here to pick you up." Uncle Xu heard the voice, stopped talking to them, and looked up to see Cheng Jiawen taking Xu Qianjiao towards home.
"Yes, uncle, where are you going?" Xu Qianjiao asked casually.
Uncle Xu frowned and said helplessly, "We went to the cowshed. We got a message from the higher-ups saying we have to go and 'educate' the people in the cowshed every few days."
"Is that so~" Xu Qianjiao nodded vaguely.
Xu Qianjiao deliberately looked up at the sky and said exaggeratedly: "Oh, it's getting late. My mother must be waiting anxiously at home. Uncle, you guys are busy. We will go back first."
"good."
Cheng Jiawen took Xu Qianjiao's ride, and with a sudden push of his feet, the bicycle wheels turned rapidly. They passed by the crowd like a gust of wind and moved forward quickly.
From a distance, they saw Chen Yi sneaking around with something in her hand. They slowed down on their bikes and walked past her. Xu Qianjiao deliberately said loudly, "Oh, why are uncle and the others going to the cowshed to 'educate' those people now? It's almost time for dinner."
Cheng Jiawen also answered loudly: "Yes, such a large group of people, they don't even eat, and now they are heading to the cowshed. I wonder if they have heard any news."
After saying that, they suddenly increased the speed of their bicycles and passed by Chen Yi like a gust of wind.
Chen Yi heard the conversation between the two, looked up at them, and found that they were Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen. Hearing their conversation, she immediately reacted and turned to walk into the mountains.
Now she definitely couldn't go back the same way. If she went back the same way carrying such a large pile of things, she would definitely arouse suspicion.
And according to Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen, the village chief and his men are already on the way, and she definitely cannot run into them, so the best way is to go into the mountains.
The safest way is to wait until they have finished educating her before sending the gifts.
As for the educated youth site, she had her own room, and she showed signs of discomfort early on, telling everyone that she would go to bed early, so they could get away with it.
In an instant, she made a decision to go to the mountains and hide until they finished their "education". Then she would go and deliver the things immediately, otherwise grandpa and the others might not even make it through tonight. It was so cold, and they only came wearing a single piece of clothing and brought a few thin quilts.
The Liu family really wants their own family to die. In order to get promoted, my uncle and his comrades ruthlessly framed their family. My cousin Liu Jiajia was the same. She pretended to be so good at ordinary times, but stabbed herself at the critical moment.
Fortunately, my grandfather made arrangements and settled the whole family here. Although the environment here is ordinary, at least there are not too many dirty things and the people are simple and honest.
But now the village chief has obviously received instructions, otherwise why would they come to "educate" the people in the cowshed for no reason?
The Liu family really wants to beat them to death.
-------------------------------------
Here, Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao returned home and Xu's mother had already prepared dinner.
"Jiawen and Jiaojiao are back. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Mother Xu poked her head out from the kitchen.
Cheng Jiawen parked his bike and said, "Okay, we'll be there soon."
Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao went back to the room to change clothes. As soon as he took off his coat, Xu Qianjiao saw a large pool of blood on his underwear. She went forward and anxiously checked his body, "Why is there blood? Where are you injured?"
Her little hand kept groping around Cheng Jiawen's body. She couldn't find any injuries through his clothes and wanted to take his clothes off. Cheng Jiawen quickly held her little hand down and said, "You're not injured. This isn't my blood."
"Is this true? You're really not hurt?" Xu Qianjiao carefully observed his face, and he indeed didn't look injured. Suddenly, she moved her hand across a certain place.
"Hiss~" Cheng Jiawen couldn't help but take a breath.
Xu Qianjiao immediately lifted up her clothes and saw a bruise underneath. She gasped in shock, "Hey, you said you weren't injured, but there's such a big bruise."
Cheng Jiawen took Xu Qianjiao's hand and explained soothingly, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt. Don't worry. A pig broke free today and ran away. When I went to catch it, it might have bumped into me, so I got a little bruised."
Xu Qianjiao gently tapped the large bruise and said distressedly, "Does it hurt?"
Cheng Jiawen grabbed Xu Qianjiao's hand, gently placed it on his lips and kissed it, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, don't worry."
"Forget it, there's no point in talking too much. You must be more careful next time. Remember that you are a family man. Don't do anything dangerous, understand?"
"I understand." Cheng Jiawen kissed her forehead and said in a flattering tone.
"Come on, let's go out for dinner. After dinner, take a shower and I'll help you apply some medicine."
After saying that, Xu Qianjiao took Cheng Jiawen out to eat.
In the dining room, Xu's father and mother were already sitting at the table waiting for them. Xu's mother scooped a bowl of soup for everyone and said with a smile, "Have a try! It's been cooking for a long time. It's chicken soup, very nourishing."
"Okay."
Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao both picked up the chicken soup and took a sip. The delicious taste immediately bloomed on their tongues.
The first thing you feel is the deliciousness of the chicken. It fully releases its aroma during the long stewing, and every strand of meat fiber is integrated into the soup, bringing a mellow taste.
Then, the sweetness of the chicken soup gradually emerges. This sweetness does not come from the addition of sugar, but from the natural sweetness of the chicken itself and vegetables, giving people a simple and pure enjoyment.
After swallowing, the aftertaste of the chicken soup lingers in the mouth, leaving a trace of warmth and satisfaction. Its flavor is rich and not greasy, which makes people linger in the aftertaste.
"It's delicious, Mom. You're such a great cook." Xu Qianjiao praised while drinking.
Mother Xu pretended to be modest and said, "It's okay, it's okay. If you like it, drink more."
Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen were both busy eating. After working all day, they were really hungry, especially Cheng Jiawen. He did physical work and had to eat steamed buns and other things without any oil for lunch. He didn't replenish his energy, so he was already starving.
Seeing Cheng Jiawen eating so poorly, Xu's mother picked up some chicken for him with concern and asked, "Why are you so hungry? Didn't you have lunch?"
"I ate it. I ate the steamed buns." Cheng Jiawen said incoherently while eating.
