Ning Jiqiu finished reading the letter and took out the contents of the package.
"Ji Qiu, has your family sent you something again?" Han Dong had just returned from a bath at the stream and was wiping his hair with an old towel, with water droplets still hanging on his body.
The male educated youths all did the same thing. They would wait until it got dark and then go to the stream to take a bath, saving them the trouble of carrying water.
"Yeah." Seeing that the person who came in was the educated youth who slept next to him and with whom he had a good relationship, Ning Jiqiu did not put his things away immediately.
Han Dong felt sour in his heart, "Your parents are so good to you, but my parents don't bother to take care of me. The last time they sent a letter, they told me to eat less and send food home."
"My parents are very good to me. These are prepared by my brother, sister-in-law and sisters."
Ning Jiqiu took out some fruit candies and gave him a few.
"Okay, I've touched your heart, so I'm using this candy as compensation. Put it away quickly, or else Huang Zhu and the others will get jealous and say something sour again."
Han Dong didn't bother to be polite with him. He took the candy and stood at the door to keep watch for him.
To be honest, Huang Zhu is a troublemaker. He and the girl next door named Ke Xueruo are a pair made for each other, a match made in heaven.
Before these two people came, their youth cadre point was very harmonious. Although there were some minor quarrels, it was generally good. After these two people came, the atmosphere changed a lot.
Ning Jiqiu also quickened his pace and separated the clothes from the food. There were two jars of meat sauce. Although they were glass jars, they were wrapped with layers of oil paper and clothes, so there was no leakage at all.
The fruit candies were bought by his brother and sister-in-law, and his younger sister sent him textbooks and exercise books to encourage him not to forget to study.
There was a white shirt underneath. Ning Jiqiu took it out, shook it open and compared it on himself, being careful not to get hurt.
He was covered in stinky sweat.
"It looks good! Ji Qiu, you will look energetic in it!" Han Dong also saw his white shirt.
Ning Ji Qiu put it away anyway. The only white shirt he had now was the one he brought when he first went to the countryside, and it had already turned yellow.
The clothes his family sent him were all dark in color and suitable for work and resistant to getting dirty.
"I'm going to take a shower first. Can you help me get some food later?" Ning Ji put away all his things, took out his old clothes, thought about it, and changed into a new white shirt.
I can't wear it while working during the day, but it's nice to wear it at night to satisfy my desire.
Han Dong slapped him and said, "This is a simple matter. Go quickly! It will be dark soon."
He looked at the exceptionally deserted educated youth compound and muttered, "Strange, why hasn't Huang Zhu come back yet?"
I'm actually a little uncomfortable without that kid complaining.
"Bah!" Han Dong slapped his forehead. Why was he being so mean as to pay attention to this bastard?
......
“Plop!”
A loud sound of someone falling into the water was heard. Ning Ji Qiu saw the wooden barrel on the shore and the clothes floating on the water, and immediately determined that someone had fallen into the water.
"Help me~"
It was the female educated youth Ke Xueruo.
Ning Ji Qiu frowned and subconsciously took a few steps back. He didn't want to go down to save people, nor did he want to watch people drown.
He simply looked around for bamboo poles and shouted for help.
"Don't move, I'm here to save her!" Mi Jiaojiao stuffed the basin into Ning Jiqiu's hand and jumped directly into the river.
"Someone fell into the water? Where?"
Huang Zhu suddenly jumped out and looked into the river, only to see Mi Jiaojiao swimming.
"Isn't this the captain's daughter? Go down and save her!"
Huang Zhu was puzzled. How could the person have already gone down before he even made a move? And didn't Mi Jiaojiao know how to swim? Why did she look like a swimming expert?
"Why don't you go down? I can't swim." Ning Ji Qiu lied with his eyes open, and felt a little suspicious about the yellow pillar that suddenly appeared.
"By the way, Mi Jiaojiao went down to rescue Ke Xuerou."
The hint of joy in Huang Zhu's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he ran towards the river. The person struggling in the middle of the river was Ke Xueruo.
"Xue Rou! I'm here to save you." He shouted and dived into the water.
Ke Xueruo was about to cry with regret.
She happened to hear Huang Zhu and his secret plans in the afternoon.
Ning Jiqiu went to the brigade headquarters to get something, so he would definitely take a shower later. It was just right that while Mi Jiaojiao was washing clothes tonight, he could push Mi Jiaojiao into the water and let Ning Jiqiu come to rescue her.
When the people were rescued, they ran out to watch. By then, Mi Jiaojiao and Ning Jiqiu had to be a couple, otherwise the saliva of the members would drown them.
This way, no one will compete with Huang Zhu for Ke Xueruo.
Huang Zhu likes Ke Xueruo, but unfortunately Ke Xueruo has fallen in love with Ning Jiqiu, and the captain's daughter Mi Jiaojiao also has a crush on Ning Jiqiu.
He wondered what was so good about Ning Ji Qiu's tanned skin; he looked no different from a country boy.
Aren’t I more handsome than him with my fair skin and tender flesh?
Ke Xueruo jumped into the river by herself. She could swim, but in order to avoid running into Huang Zhu and others, she squatted by the river early in the morning.
Her original intention was to take advantage of the situation and pretend to drown, so that she could go through the process in front of Mi Jiaojiao and let Ning Jiqiu come to save her. After all, he couldn't just watch her drown.
I ended up squatting for too long and my legs cramped up, I couldn't move my legs, and I practically drowned...
Mi Jiaojiao is a good swimmer and swam over in no time.
At this moment, when Ke Xueruo saw someone coming to save her, she didn't care whether she was the target or not. Her life was at stake, so she desperately grabbed Mi Jiaojiao with both hands.
Mi Jiaojiao punched Ke Xueruo directly, knocking her so hard that she had no strength to pull her away. Just as she was about to drag her ashore, she saw Huang Zhu swimming towards her.
"Go on!" She simply handed Ke Xueruo to Huang Zhu and swam towards the shore herself.
"Ning Ji Qiu, bring me the clothes." She didn't go ashore directly, but squatted in the shallow water on the shore and called Ning Ji Qiu.
It's summer now, and clothes are relatively thin. If they get soaked, it's almost the same as if they weren't wearing anything. The dirty clothes in the basin can still cover up a bit.
"Everyone come and see, someone fell into the water!"
The people Huang Zhu had originally arranged to arrive neither earlier nor later, but they came at this time and also called a lot of local people.
Seeing that they were still some distance away, Ning Jiqiu quickly handed all the clothes to Mi Jiaojiao.
After she took the clothes, he quickly turned around and used his body to block other people's sight as much as possible.
It was impossible to put on clothes in the water. Mi Jiaojiao only dared to stand up and put on the dirty clothes when she saw the tall figure in front of her who was protecting her.
The noise on the shore and the sound of water as Huang Zhu and Ke Xueruo swam towards the shore mixed together.
Although it was a chaotic and tense environment, the presence of the person in front of her made her feel unusually at ease.
Mi Jiaojiao also saw many familiar faces. She changed her mind and simply squatted down to spread her hair and wet it all.
"I'm fine, give me the basin." She had to leave this place as soon as possible before the clothes inside soaked the clothes outside.
