Chapter ninety-nine soft
Miao Qingqing waited until Chen Mei and the female educated youth went to boil water to wash their hair before she quietly slipped to the side where the male educated youth lived.
Fortunately, the male educated youth were not at home today, so she didn't have to worry about being seen and could just go and knock on the door.
Before Gu Ci came back, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative early to buy some underwear and other things. Now he took them out and prepared to wash them. He heard a knock on the door, so he went to open it first. He was surprised to see Miao Qingqing.
He seldom interacted with the female educated youth, but he knew that Miao Qingqing was rather introverted and always avoided the male educated youth. Now seeing her nervous look, Gu Ci felt a little worried.
He was afraid that this girl was also interested in him, and he began to think about how to reject her without making her sad.
"Hello Miao Zhiqing, what can I do for you?"
Miao Qingqing was very cautious. She first glanced back, then glanced into the room, and when she was sure that no one was around, she quickly said, "I heard Su Hongqi and Chen Mei secretly discussing to let you marry Su Jinxiang. You should be careful."
After saying that, he wanted to slip away.
After all, her household registration is here now, so she certainly wouldn't dare to offend Secretary Su. Coming to tell him about it is the most she can do.
Gu Ci's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that even after he said he had a partner, the Su family still refused to give up.
Seeing Miao Qingqing was about to leave, he quickly asked, "Did they say anything else?"
Miao Qingqing looked at him as if he was being taken advantage of: "Su Hongqi and Chen Mei had a grand wedding, and all this money and tickets are waiting for you to give Su Jinxiang as a betrothal gift?"
She used to regret that she was not pretty enough, but now she is glad that she looks ordinary.
Otherwise, it would be too easy for the villagers to target me and plot against me.
And with the previous experience of Gu Ci, she will definitely be extra careful in the future.
Gu Ci almost couldn't control himself and wanted to hit someone. He thanked him sincerely: "Miao Zhiqing, thank you."
Miao Qingqing waved her hand perfunctorily. When she turned around to leave, she turned back and reminded him, "You must not give me away, okay?"
Gu Ci nodded: "Don't worry, I won't repay kindness with hatred."
After watching Miao Qingqing leave, he also wanted to find Chu Hong to discuss countermeasures.
But after taking only two steps, he stopped.
He knew that Chu Hong still thought she was too young?
I can't ask the Song family for help every time I have a problem. It would make me seem irresponsible and not like a man who can stand up to the demands of others.
However, he had also heard that a female educated youth fell into the water and was rescued by a man in the village. Even though she didn't want to get married, she eventually got married because of the gossip everywhere.
Now he didn't dare to look down on the Su family. Instead, he was afraid that they would use such shameless means to harm him. So he thought about waiting for Zhang Jianming to come back and let him accompany him.
The work at the reservoir ended at 5 p.m., and by the time the male educated youth walked back to Lingshang Village from Lingxia Village, it was almost 5:30, and the female educated youth had already cooked dinner.
A big pot of boiled radishes without oil or water.
Some radishes are hollow. After a long time, they have little moisture and taste a bit bitter.
Fortunately, I added some chili peppers when cooking the radish, so it goes well with the rice.
However, some male educated youth were dissatisfied and said, "Why are the radishes so bitter? They are so unpalatable."
The female educated youth who cooked felt that her cooking skills were disdained, even though she didn't have much cooking skills: "The radishes are hollow and have no moisture. How can they not be bitter?"
Then he criticized Li Xun who was buying groceries: "Don't you know how to choose the groceries carefully?"
Li Xun could only smile bitterly: "I can't peel all the radishes to check."
He went to buy vegetables in order to be closer to Secretary Su's family.
Even he didn't expect that Aunt Su would cheat him like this. The potatoes she gave him were dry and dehydrated, and the radishes tasted bitter.
Everyone finished their meal in silence, washed their lunch boxes and chopsticks, and the male educated youth went back to their rooms to rest, leaving the kitchen to the female educated youth.
After the female educated youth washed the pot, she started to boil hot water for washing.
It's so cold here, and we're in the countryside, so we don't go out after dark.
It's not because they are lazy, but for their own safety. They are afraid that they will be targeted by the second-rate people in the village.
After Zhang Jianming returned to his room, he also slumped down on a stool and complained, "I'm so tired. Both of my shoulders hurt from carrying the load today."
Gu Ci took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him: "Are you going tomorrow?"
"Go ahead," Zhang Jianming complained, but he was still reluctant to give up his work points: "Before, I only got five or six work points for working in the village, but now it's ten centimeters a day?"
He held the cigarette between his lips and stretched his shoulders: "Besides, they all said that you'll get used to it in five or six days."
Then he asked him, "Are you going tomorrow too?"
Gu Ci nodded: "Go ahead."
She went to get the flashlight and pulled him: "Come with me to the Party Secretary's house."
Zhang Jianming teased him: "You are not a lesbian, why do you need a companion when you go out?"
Although he said this, he still stood up and walked out cooperatively: "Is it about you saving the child who fell into the water?"
"You are good, kid. You have high awareness. You will definitely be praised this time."
On the way, he asked again what happened.
After all, the countryside is too boring, and since it was Gu Ci who saved the man, he could satisfy his curiosity.
When they arrived at Secretary Su's house, the Su family had already eaten dinner and Liu Fangfang was already washing the dishes.
There were also two uncles from the village sitting nearby and talking to Secretary Su, who was drinking tea from an enamel pot.
Su Hongqi frowned when he saw them coming in. He didn't expect Zhang Jianming to follow them in. He still smiled and asked them to sit down.
Secretary Su changed the subject and began to praise Gu Ci: "Gu Zhiqing, you are such a good comrade..."
He first praised Gu Ci a lot.
The two uncles also listened to the live version of Gu Ci saving the child who fell into the water.
Later, seeing that they seemed to have something to say, the two uncles said goodbye and left.
After Su Hongqi sent the people away, he was worried that someone else would come to visit, so he closed and bolted the gate.
Su Hongwei also called Zhang Jianming: "Zhang Zhiqing, I have something to ask you."
Liu Fangfang was also very tactful and took her son back to the room.
She didn't want to get involved in her sister-in-law's affairs.
Besides, a forced melon is not sweet. Even if the sister-in-law gets married to Gu Zhiqing as she wishes, if he treats her badly, Su Jinxiang will cry a lot.
Aunt Su also winked at her daughter and asked Su Jinxiang, who was pouring tea for Gu Ci, to leave first.
Su Jinxiang glanced at Gu Ci shyly, and felt that he looked even more handsome under the swaying kerosene lamp, so she left shyly.
Aunt Su then spoke up: "Gu Zhiqing, I think you and my daughter Jinxiang are quite suitable."
"If you marry our Jinxiang, we will build you two houses, and you won't have to live with those educated youths anymore."
Secretary Su also spoke up while holding a teacup: "According to the requirements from above, the village is going to select two more scorekeepers."
"I am very optimistic about you. If there is a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the future, I will also fight for you."
