Zhao Jun took the honey-glazed knife and immediately smelled its unique aroma, which was both sweet and fragrant.
Did you buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative? Or did your family send it to you?
"Neither of those." Xue Yanchen said with a smile on his lips, "Jingyan made it and asked me to take it back to eat. I saw that you looked worried, so I shared some with you."
When Zhao Jun heard that Luo Jingyan made it, he knew that it must taste good, and suddenly felt that two pieces were a bit too few.
He stuffed one of the pieces into his mouth and reached out to Xue Yanchen, asking, "Brother Chen, it's delicious, give me a few more."
Xue Yanchen quickly closed the oil paper package and put it back in his pocket.
"It's gone."
Zhao Jun was reluctant to part with the delicious food: "Give me some more. After we finish eating, you can ask Luo Zhiqing to make you some more."
Xue Yanchen immediately became unhappy, "Zhao Jun, I really regret giving you those two pieces."
If he had bought it himself, Zhao Jun would have eaten as much as he wanted, but since Luo Jingyan made it, he was already reluctant to give Zhao Jun even two pieces.
Seeing that he was unwilling, Zhao Jun did not force him. He knew it wasn't that Xue Yanchen was stingy; when he was in the army, he had eaten plenty of things sent by Xue Yanchen's family, and Xue Yanchen had never complained. This time was different.
Two days later, Zhuang Feifei overheard several female educated youths talking in the dormitory and learned that Luo Jingyan's room had been given to Jiang Manyue, and Jiang Manyue had given Luo Jingyan ten yuan.
She immediately found Luo Jingyan and said, "Luo, I'm willing to give you an extra five yuan. Leave this room to me."
Luo Jingyan thought to herself, even if Zhuang Feifei offered an extra hundred, she wouldn't give the house to her.
“I’ve already promised to stay until the full moon, and I can’t go back on my word. Zhuang Zhiqing should continue to stay in the dormitory.”
“Luo Jingyan, you look down on me. If you can build a house outside, so can I.”
"Then go ahead and build it."
Zhuang Feifei was very unconvinced. Luo Jingyan, a local, could afford to build a house. She had a huge sum of money, twenty or thirty thousand yuan. She not only wanted to build a house outside, but also a brick house, a hundred times better than Luo Jingyan's, to make Luo Jingyan envious.
Because she had enough money, she didn't need to worry about how long she would stay in the house; she could just do whatever made her happy.
She also went to the brigade leader to get a plot of land for building a house. She deliberately asked the brigade leader to approve the plot next to Luo Jingyan's plot so that she could outshine Luo Jingyan after the house was built.
She also asked the brigade leader to help her find a few bricklayers and to get her a permit to buy bricks and tiles from the brick factory in the county.
When Luo Jingyan learned that Zhuang Feifei was going to build a house next to her homestead, she immediately said, "Bad luck."
Zhuang Feifei was clearly targeting her.
Zhuang Feifei arrived at her new homestead with the permit for the homestead issued by the brigade leader and the permit for purchasing bricks and tiles.
Beside them were Luo Jingyan's group of people.
Some were making adobe bricks, while others were digging foundations.
Xue Yanchen didn't let Luo Jingyan do any work; he just told her to watch from the side.
Luo Jingyan couldn't really do nothing. She didn't do heavy work, but she usually brought hot water to the workers and checked on the progress of the project.
Zhuang Feifei walked up to her, looking somewhat arrogant.
"Luo, we'll be neighbors from now on."
Luo Jingyan said with a sullen face, "I don't care whether there are neighbors or not."
"Luo Zhiqing, you seem very unhappy. You don't want me to be your neighbor, do you?"
There are other villagers here. If Luo Jingyan treats her badly, those villagers will think that Luo Jingyan is bullying them, and thus develop a bad impression of Luo Jingyan.
Luo Jingyan chuckled coldly: "Zhuang Zhiqing, I'm not unhappy. I congratulate you on getting your own independent room."
“Luo Zhiqing, you’re mocking me.”
Luo Jingyan was speechless, but she wouldn't tolerate Zhuang Feifei. She said coldly, "Zhuang Zhiqing, are you just here to cause trouble because you have nothing better to do?" She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Speak, what exactly do you want?"
