Chapter 123 123 had an idea
Su Xiao quickly tidied up and opened the door to head to the educated youth compound. They should have already prepared breakfast by now.
Sure enough, as soon as I approached the entrance of the educated youth compound, I heard a lively commotion inside; everyone must have gotten up.
"Where's Xiaoxiao? Isn't she up yet?" Shu Bowen asked, ladling porridge while peering towards the back gate.
"I'm here." Su Xiao walked in and headed straight for the pavilion.
"Huh? Where did you go?" Shu Bowen looked at her with a questioning expression.
Su Xiao smiled and said, "I went to the breeding farm."
Upon hearing her words, Shang Ziming's eyes darkened, but he asked calmly, "Are you all done with your work?"
"Ah, it's over." Su Xiao said this with a lack of confidence. She picked up her chopsticks with some annoyance, picked up a bowl of porridge and slurped it down without paying any attention to table manners.
Seeing this, Shang Ziming smiled slightly and used serving chopsticks to put some dried radish on her plate. "Eat slowly, there's more in the pot, plenty for everyone."
Su Xiao almost choked to death when a mouthful of porridge got stuck in her throat.
Staring at Shang Ziming, she saw him looking serious and innocent, as if nothing had happened.
I feel so heartbroken.
It was another workday. Zhao Xi looked at the crowd coming to collect their tasks and said sternly, "Yesterday, some people caused trouble over the work at the farm. I know you're all unhappy. Today, I'll take a few of you troublemakers to see why I chose Su, the educated youth. Zhao Xing, Wu Ning, Zhou Da... Chen Jing..."
Zhao Xi called out several names in a row, all of whom were active in the crowd yesterday, but Chen Jing stood out somewhat among them.
Some people's gazes towards her suddenly changed.
When Chen Jing's name was called, she sensed something was wrong, her face turned pale, and she tried to remain calm.
"You guys, come with me. The rest of you, get to work." Zhao Xi waved his hand and led the way, along with village head Yang Erfu, brigade leader Zhao Jianguo, and village accountant Jiang Cheng.
The people whose names were called looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Let's go." Zhao Xing raised an eyebrow. He was genuinely curious and couldn't understand how something as simple as collecting eggs could be made so complicated.
Chen Jing walked at the very back, trying to sneak away when no one was looking, but Zhou Da grabbed her arm. "Where are you going, Chen Qingqing?"
Chen Jing was startled. She looked around, shook off Zhou Da's hand, and said sharply, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Da wasn't angry about being dumped. He grinned and said, "What can I do? I'm just worried you'll get lost."
"Hmph, mind your own business." Chen Jing glared at him, turned around and ran to catch up with the group, and even squeezed to the front of the group, following behind the captain.
Zhou Da watched her retreating figure with a cold laugh and spat.
"Brother, these women are all ungrateful, do you want them?" Zhou Bin wasn't called by name, but he always followed Zhou Da, so he went even if he wasn't called.
After hearing Zhou Bin's words, Zhou Da nudged him on the head and said, "What are you thinking? I'm just playing around. Which of those women is good? If I really got involved, I'd find them disgusting."
Zhou Da is quite picky, okay.
However, the countryside is really boring, so I was just teasing those few women for fun.
"Oh," Zhou Bin said suddenly, "Brother was right after all."
"However, Su Xiaoxiao who came this time, tsk tsk, she's quite nice, clean." Zhou Da couldn't help but think of Su Xiaoxiao and his mind started to wander.
"Brother, I think so too, but Su Xiaoxiao is not easy to mess with, and Shang Ziming and his group are not easy to deal with."
Zhou Bin's words deflated his spirits.
