First round victory
Xiao Si just came back. He puffed out his chest and ran in: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom... you're right, Gou'er and the others know about this too!" His voice became louder and louder: "We all know that it was Comrade Zhao who made an appointment with Third Sister."
Xu Xiao is the third child.
With Chen Nan around, and the news that Chen's parents were coming back, Captain Xu could not directly blame Xu Xiao as he did before.
He looked at Ji Hong, his face darkening. "Ji Zhiqing, you and A Xiao have just made an engagement. If you don't protect A Xiao, where do you put the Xu family?"
It’s called an engagement, but it’s just an agreement between Captain Xu and Ji Hong.
A year ago, Ji Hong saved Xu Xiao who accidentally fell into the water. At that time, chastity was still very important. For Xu Xiao's sake, the so-called engagement came into being.
Because of this, no matter how much Ji Hong did, the Xu family could only turn a blind eye. On the surface, everyone thought so.
Ji Hong quickly let go of Zhao Ling and began to defend himself, saying, "Xu Si's words can't be trusted. Maybe Xu Xiao told him to say that! If anything happens to Comrade Zhao, Xu Xiao will have made a serious mistake."
Captain Xu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he deliberately coughed: "A Xiao, did you do this? If not, Grandpa will definitely punish them."
If it were in the past, Xu Xiao would have accepted it no matter how wronged he was.
At this moment, she just smiled as she stood aside, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "If it wasn't me who did it, how would Grandpa deal with them?"
The educated youth did not go to the countryside to enjoy a good life. If they made mistakes, it would be recorded in their files.
Those with serious circumstances may even be sent to other places, and Chenjia Village is a good place to go.
Captain Xu thought his words had worked. He snorted coldly, "For slandering others, both of them will be sent for criticism and education!"
It was just criticism and education. Xu Xiao felt sorry. She nodded and said, "Then listen to Grandpa. I didn't do this. If there's nothing else, Chen Nan and I will leave first." She paused, her smile gentle but with an inexplicable sense of oppression: "Godmother should be here soon, please do as you please."
Xu Xiao didn't plan to succeed in one go. After all, it takes a lot of time to be a bitch, especially the male and female protagonists.
Chen Nan was not very satisfied with this outcome, but her goal was achieved. She nodded to Captain Xu and said, "Grandpa Xu, I'm leaving first."
As for Chen Hong and Xu's father, she simply skipped them.
When they reached a deserted place, Chen Nan raised his doubts: "Sister Xiao, what if Grandpa Xu notices something is wrong?"
After all, her mother didn't come! She's still in Beijing. Even if she wants to come, it will take a day or two.
Xu Xiao stopped, nodded in agreement, and patted her: "So I have to trouble you again, Brother Chen Bei is nearby, right?"
Chen Nan's eyes widened: "...Sister Xiao, how did you know?"
"Don't worry about how I know it. It will be the same if he comes." Xu Xiao said.
Her grandfather cared most about his position as captain. If Ji Hong and the other two lost their jobs because of them, he would definitely hate them.
It was only later that Xu Xiao found out that there had been troops stationed near Chenjia Village, and Chen Bei happened to be there.
Thinking of Chen Bei's warning to her in her previous life, Xu Xiao's eyes darkened. She didn't believe it at that time, and she had no contact with the Chen family later.
Now that I think about it, she was indeed incredibly stupid.
Speaking of her relationship with the Chen family, it was also an accident. The fortune teller said she was lucky, and it happened that the Chen family came home to visit relatives, so she made a joke of asking for godfathers and godmothers.
As a result, the Xu family stood up in Xujia Village, and this was inseparable from the arrangements of the Chen family. Although it is incredible, the fact is the fact.
Xu Xiao increasingly believes that the world she lives in is just a novel, but she will not be the vicious female supporting role, and she does not want to get involved in the relationship between the male and female protagonists!
Chen Nan stared at Xu Xiao blankly. After a long while, she finally said, "Sister Xiao, I feel like you've changed."
It was as if he had been through a lot, and that kind of calmness that settled down was something she had only seen in her grandfather.
She didn't think much about it and continued, "My brother wrote a letter a few days ago. He has to go out on a mission and I'm afraid he won't be able to come in the short time." She was worried that Xu Xiao would be bullied again.
Xu Xiao had indeed not expected this, but she was not in a hurry. She knew Ji Hong's character, and after this failure, they would come again.
As long as they don't give up, she will always find an opportunity. She is not afraid of them causing trouble, but she is afraid that they will do their duty. She has no reason to make a big fuss.
After what happened today, her captain grandfather would inevitably feel resentment towards Ji Hong and the others. This was her gift to the hero and heroine.
Her main purpose was to cancel the so-called engagement. The college entrance examination would be restarted in a year, and she had to get rid of them.
The Xu family is a bottomless abyss, and so is the Ji family.
When Xu Xiao thought of the group of evildoers in the Ji family, he became full of energy.
This time she will enjoy herself, so let Zhao Ling, the heroine, go.
"It's okay, no rush. When will you return to Beijing?" Chen Nan was not really an educated youth who went to the countryside. She could go back anytime she wanted.
Chen Nan's eyes darted around, she didn't want to leave: "Sister Xiao, I think this place is pretty good."
There are no rules like in Beijing here, and it's very free. Chen Nan really doesn't want to go back, and another reason is that she wants to stay with Xu Xiao.
How could Xu Xiao not understand? Because she understood, she felt more guilty towards the Chen family. In her previous life, she had completely alienated herself from the Chen family because of the Ji family.
But she would not interfere with Chen Nan's decision: "Did you bring those books?"
When they were in school, she and Chen Nan communicated mainly through letters. She knew that Chen Nan was in the same class as her.
This time she wanted Chen Nan to take the college entrance examination with her.
It was already August, and the Gaokao would resume in less than six months. She had to hurry up.
Chen Nan didn't understand why, but nodded: "I brought it. There are no books to read here."
Life in the countryside is busy, there is no leisure time, let alone something as leisurely as reading.
It's good that I brought it. Xu Xiao felt relieved: "Let's go, I'll take you back to the educated youth site."
The group of people would probably continue talking for a while, but she really had no interest in listening to them calculating.
Chen Nan glanced at Xu Xiao and shook his head: "Sister Xiao, let's go to the back mountain. You said before that you would take me to catch wild rabbits."
For some reason, she wanted to stay with Xu Xiao. She felt that Xu Xiao needed her.
This intuition came out of nowhere, but Chen Nan did not ignore it.
The back mountain is very big, and there are seven or eight roads leading up the mountain. This mountain connects Chenjia Village and Xujia Village.
Xu Xiao did not refuse Chen Nan. She really needed someone to talk to.
She held it in for most of her life, especially in the last month before her death, when she could only lie in bed and watch people walk in and out of the room.
They didn't care about her and only came to see her for the so-called fame.
The two of them each held a branch and slowly climbed up the hillside.
August has already entered autumn, but the heat is still there, and with it the lush green grass.
It rained a few days ago, so they simply didn't rush up the mountain. They walked slowly and poked and picked with sticks. There were many short and small mushrooms hidden in the grass.
After more than a year in the countryside, this was the first time Chen Nan had seen this native mushroom.
She found it extremely novel, and from time to time she would pick up one and ask Xu Xiao what it was, what it was called, and whether she could eat it.
Chen Nan picked another particularly standard poisonous mushroom, a very beautiful rouge red. Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then made a cold joke: "This mushroom is good, if you take it back, the whole village will be lying down."
There was a very popular song in my previous life: Red umbrella, white pole, lying on the board after eating.
After leaving Xujia Village, Xu Xiao had never seen such a beautiful poisonous mushroom. It looked exactly like the one in the book.
The admiration in her eyes grew stronger and stronger. Even when Chen Nan understood the joke and wanted to throw it away, she hurriedly called out to him, "Don't throw it away. I can use it!"
Chen Nan paused and put it back into the basket.
The basket was made by Xu Xiao when he was climbing the mountain. He picked up some wild grass and decorated it with a few pink wild flowers.
There were a few red mushrooms in front, and Chen Nan wanted to pick them. Xu Xiao laughed helplessly: "Nan Nan, just one is enough for me."
She didn't want to be branded as a murderer, but Xu Xiao wanted to test the identities of Ji Hong and Zhao Ling as the male and female protagonists.
For example, the question of whether the male and female protagonists can die.
As they reached the mountainside, the mushrooms became fewer and fewer, and Chen Nan calmed down, no longer looking around. Her eyes reddened, "Sister Xiao, is the Xu family treating you badly? I didn't mean to ignore you before."
She finally had time to speak out what she had been holding back for so long.
Having coaxed the child for so many years, Xu Xiao almost reflexively walked up to Chen Nan and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, patted her back, and said in a soft voice: "Don't cry, don't cry..." Only after she did all this did she realize that something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, Chen Nan cried even harder, her eyes full of heartache: "Sister Xiao, what kind of life have you been living in the Xu family?"
Xu Xiao was silent. Although her stepmother scolded her and bullied her, she never hid anything and always said whatever she wanted to say.
For example, the stepmother originally wanted to rely on the Xu family to support her mother's family, but in the end she found out that she was wrong.
So she always said that she stayed in the Xu family because of Xu Xiao, and compared with other people in the Xu family, the stepmother was considered a normal person.
In later words, the Xu family was a top-notch family, but of course they were not as weird as the selfish Ji family.
Chen Nan interpreted the silence as sadness. She thought about it, took a deep breath, and said righteously: "Sister Xiao, don't worry, I will help you in the future."
Xu Xiao: "..." She looked up at the girl who was feeling moved by herself. She pulled her hand away, took a step back, and pointed at the bushes: "Go, Pikachu."
Chen Nan was puzzled and doubtful, and then he looked at Xu Xiao with heartache.
Her sister Xiao is going crazy because of the Xu family!
"Sister Axiao, don't worry, I will definitely protect you." Chen Nan was still moving himself.
Worried that the hare would wake up and run away, Xu Xiao nodded, strode forward, bent down and picked up the hare from the grass.
"...Sister Xiao, can I keep it?" Although Chen Nan was very greedy for meat, she wanted to save it for later, but she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
She was considered lucky, as at least the educated youth had pork to eat during the holidays.
Understanding the meaning in her eyes, Xu Xiao didn't hesitate. He grabbed the rabbit's ears with his right hand and threw it directly to the ground.
The rabbit struggled for a moment and then stopped moving.
"Dead, now you can eat it."
What are you waiting for? You might get eaten by Ji Hong and his two thieves one day! Eat it hot!
Chen Nan sighed regretfully and looked around: "Sister Xiao, there's no water here either. Should we take it down the mountain?"
Wild rabbits can also be exchanged for food coupons and other things, so Chen Nan has no such worries in this regard.
The Chen family would send some food and daily necessities every month, two packages each, one for her and one for Xu Xiao.
The Chen family really treats Xu Xiao as their daughter.
What's the point of taking the mountain? Let those people eat it for free?
Xu Xiao was not so kind. She raised her eyebrows slightly and signaled Chen Nan to follow her, and the two of them walked deeper into the cave.
After rummaging through the pile of rocks, Xu Xiao took out the dagger and kerosene lighter he had left there.
From the initial surprise to the current calmness, Chen Nan only wanted to say one sentence: "Sister Xiao, I'll go wash the mushrooms first."
She also likes to eat grilled mushrooms.
A fat wild rabbit was plucked and clean in Xu Xiao's hands in less than a minute.
Xu Xiao nodded, put the hare into the basket, took out the brightly colored red mushrooms, and threw them on a pile of miscellaneous items: "Just wash them in the puddle we just passed by. I'll go pick some fruit."
Chen Nan nodded repeatedly: "Sister Xiao, I want to eat something sweet!"
Extending his hand to show understanding, Xu Xiao picked up the kerosene lighter and the Evergrande cigarettes in light blue packaging on the ground.
Seeing this, Chen Nan finally felt relieved.
Sister Axiao hasn't changed, she is still herself.
God knows she was so nervous when she saw Xu Xiao crying and Wenrou smiling.
She came here with a mission, she must protect Sister Xiao!
