Ningxia followed what the monkey said and walked around the village for a long time, and finally arrived at a house at the foot of the mountain.
It stands there alone, with the surrounding area desolate and barren, so only Ren Jingxiao dares to live here.
"Ren Jingxiao? Tiewazi?" Ningxia called out twice foolishly. She is a well-educated person.
She took the key Ren Jingxiao gave her, opened the door excitedly, and looked up.
It was empty except for two small rooms, one for living and one for cooking, with a bamboo shed next to them containing a lot of firewood.
The entire yard could be seen at a glance, and she even suspected that he didn't live here normally.
As Ningxia entered the yard, hurried footsteps were heard on the path.
"Xia Xia? What's wrong?" Ren Jingxiao heard her call at the foot of the mountain and hurried over.
"I'm fine, don't worry. There's no way there would be danger every day. I just came to check on him." Ningxia looked at Ren Jingxiao who was still breathing slightly, which showed how fast he ran.
"I came to your place to make dumplings. It's not convenient to stay at the educated youth site."
Ningxia admired his hearing. At his speed, the distance he traveled to catch his breath must have been quite long. She wasn't shouting too loudly, was she? How could he hear it?
Ren Jingxiao led her into the house, made her a cup of honey water, and took a big spoonful. Ningxia's throat was almost sticky.
Ningxia took out the prepared ingredients one by one. She planned to make a pure meat dumpling because there were really no side dishes in her private plot at that time.
Ren Jingxiao has gone from being surprised at the beginning to now keeping a straight face no matter what she takes out, and even helping to put things in order.
"You chop the stuffing and I'll knead the dough."
The two of them worked in perfect harmony. In the end, Ren Jingxiao did all the heavy lifting. She was only responsible for wrapping the dumplings, covering them with a curtain, and then putting them back into the space. In total, they wrapped nearly 500 dumplings.
Every time Ningxia makes dumplings, she always finishes filling the dumplings and still has some dough left. No matter how hard she tries, she can't break this habit. The last bit of dough was left, and the two of them added some to make a dough soup.
After dinner, Ren Jingxiao took her back to the educated youth center. As soon as she entered the door, a bowl was thrown at her head.
Ren Jingxiao quickly blocked it and held Ningxia tightly in his arms.
"Get out! Get out of here from the educated youth camp. Who wants your broken soup?" Zhang Yining pressed Wang Yingying down so hard that she had no power to fight back and held her face.
Ningxia said she didn't believe it. She thought that a person who grew up in the countryside and was used to doing farm work could not beat Zhang Yining, such a delicate and spoiled girl.
"Zhang Yining, let go, you've gone too far." Xu Hengzheng snorted, but stood far away with dignity.
"Brother Hengzheng, this woman seduced you. Bah, shameless. Let me tell you, Brother Hengzheng and I are engaged."
"Zhang Yining, don't talk nonsense. Who is engaged to you?" Xu Hengzheng couldn't help but glance at the person at the door.
But the man didn't look at him, and kept wiping the wet clothes of the mud-legged man with his handkerchief.
Xu Hengzheng turned his head away in disappointment, while Zhang Yining beside him exploded when she heard this and ignored everything else.
"You don't admit it? Fine, since you don't admit it, I'll write a letter to Uncle Xu right now. Have him come over, and I'll see what you say then."
As she was about to get up and go into the house, Zhang Kangcheng, who was still thinking of a solution, quickly stopped her and whispered, "Yining, if you do this, it will only make Hengzheng further away from you. Isn't it giving others an advantage in vain?"
"Think about it, how many people would pretend to be pitiful? Everyone will sympathize with the weak. Even if Heng Zheng doesn't like her, he will still sympathize with her. If you push him further, won't you just push him further away?"
Seeing that Zhang Yining had listened, he continued, "What you need to do now is to let go appropriately and stop following Brother Hengzheng so closely. You need to make him feel a sense of crisis."
"How can that be? If I don't follow, won't that just give that bad woman a chance?" Zhang Yining was unhappy again.
"Silly, who are you? What does she have? Not to mention that Heng Zheng doesn't like her, even if he did, would Uncle Xu agree?"
"So if you don't follow him and make him feel threatened, he will be willing to be with you."
Finally, after pacifying Zhang Yining, Zhang Kangcheng breathed a sigh of relief. If she didn't make a fuss, Wang Yingying would have a chance. Otherwise, if she sent a letter, everything would be in vain.
Wang Yingying, lying on the ground, looked at Xu Hengzheng with tears in her eyes.
She knew Zhang Yining, and although she had married Xu Hengzheng in her previous life, they eventually divorced. What did this mean? It meant they shouldn't have been together; it was wrong from the beginning.
Ningxia looked at these people, each of them had eight hundred thoughts in mind.
She had no interest in watching these people's inferior performances and told Ren Jingxiao to go back and change clothes quickly. Fortunately, the soup was not boiling hot, otherwise she would have turned her face without caring about the male and female protagonists.
Ren Jingxiao walked away, looking back every few steps. He felt that this youth cadre site was too unsafe, and he was really worried about Xia Xia living here.
No, he has to build the house quickly.
Ningxia waited for Ren Jingxiao to leave, then headed straight for the backyard. At the corner, she bumped into Chen Yaoyao. Neither of them spoke, and they each turned and walked away.
"Xu Zhiqing, I was just worried that you new educated youth might not be used to it. My father is the team leader, so it's only natural for him to care about the educated youth. We stewed a chicken at home today, and I wanted to bring it over for everyone to try. Who knew..."
Some people at the educated youth site were angry, some were trying to persuade, and some were trying to smooth things over. The front yard was as lively as the backyard was quiet.
…
After a few days, not only Ningxia, but all the newly arrived educated youth had basically adapted to farm work.
Even though the work points were still pitifully low, it was no longer like the beginning when everyone was half-dead and paralyzed every time they got off work.
Not to mention Ningxia, where the pay is only one work point per day, not even a little more.
