"Song Zhiqing, this is for you." Xu Qianrou took out two eggs from her arms and stuffed them into Song Ziming's hands, then looked at him lovingly.
Song Zibai raised a gentle smile on his fair face, "Xiao Rou, I can't have this, you can take it back." Then he gently put the egg back into Xu Qianrou's hand.
"Take it. This is a little gift from me. Are you only accepting Xu Qianjiao's gift and not mine?" Xu Qianrou looked at Song Ziming sadly.
Song Ziming was stunned and explained calmly: "No, I didn't accept Jiaojiao's gift either."
"You still call her Jiaojiao?" When Xu Qianrou heard Song Ziming calling Xu Qianjiao's name so intimately, she felt furious and couldn't help but get angry at Song Ziming.
Song Ziming smiled gently, then took out a few White Rabbit candies from his pocket and handed them to Xu Qianrou, "Here, please have some candy. Don't be angry. Isn't she your sister? I'm only treating her well for your sake."
Hearing her say this, Xu Qianrou looked at him with a red face and a smile, picked up the candy finger and gently stroked his palm, and said delicately: "Humph, I don't have a good relationship with her. You are not allowed to call her like that in the future. And you are not allowed to see her again in the future. You are not allowed to be nice to her."
"I know, I know." Song Ziming smiled dotingly at Xu Qianrou, as if he would agree to whatever she said.
Then he asked in a calm tone, seemingly casually, "By the way, Xiaorou, I seem to have heard that there's a place in our village for a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. I wonder who's lucky enough to get it."
Xu Qianrou was still immersed in Song Ziming's gentle embrace, not giving it much thought. "Hmm, it should be Chen Tingting. I think my dad said she's the one. The list has already been sent to the county."
A trace of gloom flashed in Song Ziming's eyes. He didn't expect it was her. Damn it, someone got there first. It seems that the plan has to change. Since he can't go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he can only find someone to marry here.
The situation at his parents' place is very bad now. They have been affected by his great uncle and have been suspended from their jobs. Although he has not been demoted yet, it is hard to say when he will be demoted. He has to find a way to protect himself now.
I used to think that if I went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University while my parents had not been sent down to the countryside and still had some power, I could still protect myself. But now that the place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University has been taken by someone else, I have to find another way.
He looked at Xu Qianrou in front of him. Although she was not as pretty as Xu Qianjiao and Qin Guizhi, she was obviously dumber and easier to control. Now that Qin Guizhi and Xu Qianjiao neither came to find him, it seemed that he could only choose Xu Qianrou.
He quickly calmed himself down, and when Xu Qianrou looked over, he had returned to his gentle and humble self.
Song Ziming looked at his watch and said gently, "Xiao Rou, it's getting late. I should go back."
Xu Qianrou smiled shyly, then stuffed the egg in her hand into Song Ziming's hand and said, "Take this and eat it when you're hungry."
"Okay, thank you Xiaorou."
After saying that, he smiled gently at Xu Qianrou, then turned and left. Xu Qianrou also responded to his gaze with a smile, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
His back gradually walked away, and Xu Qianrou stood behind him blankly, not leaving until she could no longer see his back.
After both of them left, Xu Qianjiao pulled Cheng Zhaodi out from under the tree, and then slowly walked forward leading the cow.
Cheng Zhaodi looked at Xu Qianjiao in confusion, "Sister Jiaojiao, why should we hide?"
Xu Qianjiao looked at Cheng Zhaodi, who was still a child, and said deliberately in a roundabout way, "Well, they're talking, it would be so awkward if we suddenly walked over."
She would never admit that she hid and eavesdropped on their conversation because she wanted to be a part of the show. It would be so embarrassing if Cheng Zhaodi knew what she was thinking.
"Oh, so are Xu Qianrou and Song Zhiqing dating?" Cheng Zhaodi looked at Xu Qianjiao curiously.
Xu Qianjiao scratched her head awkwardly. "Uh, I don't know either. Let's just pretend we didn't see anything today. Don't tell anyone."
Although she is a gossipy person, she still has a sense of public morality. She has only been here for a short time, but she knows how important a girl's reputation is here. In this era, there are so many girls who have been harmed by their reputation. So she should just keep this matter to herself and not tell anyone else.
"I understand, Sister Jiaojiao." Cheng Zhaodi nodded, not quite understanding.
-------------------------------------
The two of them led the cow all the way to the stream. Cheng Zhaodi saw some pig grass nearby and looked at Xu Qianjiao hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qianjiao asked gently.
Cheng Zhaodi pointed to the pig grass not far away and said, "Sister Jiaojiao, I want to go over there to pick some pig grass. That way there will be more space."
That’s right. In addition to feeding the cows, Cheng Zhaodi also has to cut grass for the pigs. This way she can earn more work points and eat more food at home, and she and her sister won’t be so disliked.
Xu Qianjiao nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and tie the cow to the tree. I'll help you watch it."
"Okay, thank you Sister Jiaojiao."
Cheng Zhaodi led the cow that had drunk enough water to a tree, tied a rope to the tree, and then went to collect grass for the pigs with the basket on her back. Xu Qianjiao saw that the cow standing by the stream had almost finished drinking water, so she led it to the grass and let it graze on its own, while she squatted by the stream and watched the fish swimming in the water.
Xu Qianrou was intoxicated in the sweetness just now and couldn't extricate herself, then she walked to the stream unknowingly. She saw Xu Qianjiao squatting by the stream from a distance, and suddenly a vicious thought flashed through her mind.
If she died, would Song Ziming no longer think about her? In that case, she could become Song Ziming's wife, be spoiled by him all her life, and later become the wife of a high-ranking official, living a life of wealth and honor and being respected by others.
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She looked up and saw that the surroundings were quiet and there was no one around. She took a deep breath, then quietly walked behind Xu Qianjiao and pushed hard.
"Splash~", Xu Qianjiao fell into the water.
Xu Qianrou stood there for a while, then hurried home.
Here, Xu Qianjiao was suddenly pushed into the water, and the lake water instantly flooded her head. Her eyes became dark, and there was only the gurgling sound of water in her ears.
She struggled desperately, paddling her arms in the water, trying to find a way out. Her lungs filled with water and she felt like she was suffocating.
The moment she surfaced, she shouted loudly: "Help! Help!" But her voice was drowned by the lake and no one heard her cry for help.
As time passed, Xu Qianjiao's strength gradually drained away. Her body began to sink, her consciousness gradually fading. In her mind, there was only one thought: I can't die. I haven't lived enough. I haven't seen the world yet. I haven't confessed my feelings to him yet...
