She only needs to go up the mountain for three or four hours to make everyone think that she went to the county town early in the morning to buy pig offal.
As for why no one saw him on his way back, well, he must have taken a detour!
After all, what if someone sees you carrying pig offal and tries to steal it?
The villagers couldn't afford to buy meat, because with so many people in the village, they would need at least several dozen kilograms of pork at a time. However, they were willing to chip in for the offal, bones, and eggs. So, every now and then, they would pool their money to improve their meals.
"Comrade, hello, we meet again." That day, Wen Xi was serving food to everyone when she suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice.
Wenxi hurriedly looked up and was surprised to find that it was Gu Ningzhi, the driver of the transport team. He guessed that the commune had sent him down to help, because with his help, the grain could be delivered to the grain depot sooner. Once the grain was in the depot, everyone from top to bottom could rest assured.
Wen Xi nodded, "I didn't expect you to come to the countryside to help again. Thank you for your contributions to our rural areas."
Gu Ningzhi scratched the back of his head, smiled sheepishly, and as he turned to leave after getting his food, he saw Wang Xinru sitting there eating and immediately froze.
When did such a beautiful girl come to the Fengshou Brigade?
Most people are rational and realistic, unwilling to waste their time and money, for fear of ending up with nothing.
When Gu Ningzhi first saw Wen Xi, he was indeed amazed by her beauty. However, Wen Xi had a boyfriend who was also very handsome. He didn't think he could surpass him, much less steal Wen Xi away from him.
If he actually did such a thing, he might gain nothing and ruin his promising life.
So now he treats Wenxi as an ordinary female acquaintance, just like any other female acquaintance, without any other thoughts. But now that Wang Xinru has come along, if he doesn't have a boyfriend, wouldn't he have a chance?
Thinking of this, Gu Ningzhi sat down opposite Wang Xinru and said with a smile, "Hello comrade, I am Gu Ningzhi, a driver from the transport team. The leaders of the commune have arranged for me to come to the countryside to help out these two days."
Seeing that this person had a good attitude, a sincere smile, and no ulterior motives in his eyes, Wang Xinru returned the smile and said, "Hello comrade, I am a new educated youth, my name is Wang Xinru."
“I helped out during the double harvest season before, but I hadn’t seen Comrade Wang before. As soon as I saw Comrade Wang, I knew he must be new.” Gu Ningzhi said while eating. “Comrade Wang, if you need any help in the future, you can tell me. We’re all comrades, and it’s only right that we help each other.”
Wang Xinru gave a soft "hmm" and then lowered her head to eat. Such delicious food shouldn't be wasted.
When Yang Li heard Gu Ningzhi say that he was a driver for the transport team, her eyes started to dart around. Drivers earn high wages and make a lot of money, which is much better than Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun. If she could date Gu Ningzhi, it would be beneficial for her.
Since it's just dating, not marriage, she definitely won't let herself get hurt.
"Hello, comrade. I'm also a new educated youth. My name is Yang Li. It's nice to meet you." Yang Li said with a smile, giving people a very delicate feeling.
Gu Ningzhi nodded. "Hello, I am Gu Ningzhi."
"Comrade Gu Ningzhi, I just heard you say that you work in a transportation team, right? Which transportation team do you work in?" Yang Li blinked and asked with an innocent and harmless look.
“Our transport team is based in the county town, but we spend most of our time traveling outside and are not in the county town much,” Gu Ningzhi said.
Yang Li nodded knowingly, "I know, my dad has worked in the transport team for many years. He drives short-distance routes, and it's normal for him to come home once every ten days or half a month. He drives long-distance routes and it's normal for him to come home once every two or three months. He eats, drinks, and sleeps all on the truck, which is very hard work. He also has to watch over the goods on the truck, so he can't just go to the guesthouse to rest..."
Actually, it wasn't her father who worked in the transportation team, but rather one of her mother's many "bosses." Only someone like that could earn such a high salary, and even if he kept some of it for other women, his wife at home wouldn't find out.
Because her salary is not fixed, she can keep a low profile so her family won't find out. But she is genuinely generous to outsiders. Having seen too many cases like this, she knows that men are unreliable. Yang Li has no intention of getting married. She only wants to gain benefits through dating.
"Really? Comrade Yang's father is also a driver?" Gu Ningzhi asked, somewhat surprised.
Yang Li nodded immediately, her starry eyes looking at Gu Ningzhi. "Just call me Yang Li, no need to call me Comrade Yang, that sounds too formal."
Wang Xinru smiled faintly, and having just finished her meal, she got up and left.
Wen Xi was busy serving food to everyone and didn't notice Gu Ningzhi's actions. Even if she had, she wouldn't have thought much of it.
After all, a beautiful and virtuous woman is sought after by gentlemen. It's normal for Gu Ningzhi, who doesn't have a partner, to pursue a wife for himself.
Although Gu Ningzhi had bothered her several times before, he hadn't explicitly said he liked her, so she wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think he liked her, and she certainly wouldn't forbid him from pursuing other girls.
That noon, the postman came to deliver letters to Wenxi. One letter was from He Chen'an to Wenxi, and the other was from Li Junzhong's 'fiancée' to the fictional character 'Wen Yuanyuan'.
Wen Xi directly accepted He Chen'an's letter. Since that day when they parted, she had never read He Chen'an's letters again, and they were all stored in the system's warehouse.
Moreover, Wen Xi is so busy these days that she can no longer remember what He Chen'an looks like. She only remembers that he is a handsome man, but she no longer has a specific image of him.
So Wenxi went to a quiet place by the river and opened the letter from Zhou Taohua, Li Junzhong's "fiancée" from the countryside. Zhou Taohua said that she had asked her father to call Li Junzhong and ask if he could give her a result by the end of the year. After all, Li Junzhong and Zhou Taohua had been together for four years, and Li Junzhong had wasted Zhou Taohua's prime years. If things continued to drag on like this, Zhou Taohua would never be able to get married.
In the future, the only options left are divorced men or divorced men with children. After all, how could any parent bear to let their daughter marry a good-for-nothing or an old widower?
That would definitely be choosing the tallest among the short ones.
Li Junzhong remained silent and did not give a reply, so Zhou's father understood his meaning and became furious.
He berated Li Junzhong on the phone, accusing him of wasting four years of Zhou Taohua's life.
Zhou's father strongly demanded that Li Junzhong send money back to compensate Zhou Taohua for working at his house for three years. Otherwise, he would write to his workplace to report him for being fickle and unwilling to take responsibility for his fiancée.
