Zhao Dayong already knew about what had happened recently. When he ran into Xie Yuyao, he told her not to rush into selling braised food, lest she incur the wrath of Jiang Zhiqing and be reported and retaliated against.
With Li Weidong present, Zhao Dayong couldn't have a proper chat with her about the recent situation in the black market, so he simply did Li Weidong a favor and left first.
After Zhao Dayong walked away, Li Weidong took a red scarf out of his bag. "How about this scarf?"
“It looks really good,” Xie Yuyao said with a smile, teasing him, “Are you planning to send it back to your sisters? I think they’ll be very happy to receive it.”
“Yu Yao…”
"Oh dear, I forgot to tell Zhao Dayong something, I have to go now!"
Xie Yuyao interrupted him, quickly finished speaking, and ran away.
Considering his behavior during this period, what else doesn't she understand?
But she doesn't want to start another relationship right now and hopes he can understand this silent rejection, so that they can at least remain friends.
Li Weidong watched her run away, the words to stop her stuck in his throat. Looking at the red scarf in his hand, he listlessly stuffed it back into his bag.
Since Xie Yuyao was avoiding the topic, he couldn't force her to confront him. Otherwise, knowing her as he did, he would only push her further away.
He repeatedly told himself not to be impatient. Once he entered the factory and became a key employee, Xie Yuyao would see his abilities and be willing to work with him.
What he didn't know was that Xie Yuyao had already recognized his abilities, but feelings weren't something that could be built by who was stronger. She had always seen him as the elder brother of the educated youth team and had never thought of any other relationship.
Since then, the two have returned to their original way of getting along, and Xie Yuyao has been careful not to give him any ambiguous impressions.
As the days went by, the astragalus plants near the mountain had been almost completely dug up, and the grass-cutting team's activities were reduced to picnics and playing.
That afternoon, Wu Lihong suddenly summoned the grass-cutting team, looking panicked.
Xie Yuyao helped Wu Lihong, whose face was pale, up. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Wu Lihong seemed to have lost her soul, stammering and unable to speak.
Yang Shumei took out their picnic bowls and poured her a bowl of water, saying, "Drink some water first to calm your nerves."
Wu Lihong took the drink and gulped it down. Then she pulled the two women to a place where Zhao Chunling and the children couldn't hear her and sat down with a thud.
"Take your time and tell me slowly. Don't rush. We'll figure out a solution together if you have any difficulties." Xie Yuyao and Yang Shumei squatted down and patted her back.
"Something terrible has happened!" Wu Lihong grabbed the two of their hands and muttered, "It's over, this is going to be bad."
Xie Yuyao and Yang Shumei exchanged a glance, feeling a little nervous and helpless. "What exactly happened? Tell us slowly so we can know what to do."
“He Wenyao somehow got hold of a book… or rather, a book,” Wu Lihong scratched her head, “it was… a handwritten… novel…”
Is it that kind of thing?
Xie Yuyao's deepest impression was of "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes," which was later published and adapted into a movie and a TV series.
However, many more were listed as banned books and were never shown to the public.
Yang Shumei asked softly, "What's your name?"
"What's the title of Man's memoir? I don't remember clearly," Wu Lihong said in a low voice.
"Tell him to burn it right away. What, he's still reluctant?"
"It's too late! A lot of people already know." Wu Lihong was still panicked. "I heard that in some places, people have been convicted of smuggling because of this kind of thing. What are we going to do!"
This is serious. It could be recorded in your file and affect your future college entrance exams and return to the city. It could really ruin your life.
