Luo Changtian smiled and waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. Jiu'er and I are very good friends. Friends should help each other. I'm very happy that we can go to school together in the future."
Luo Jingyan said, "It's also because Jiu'er is smart and hardworking, and learns things quickly."
Lu Chengye nodded. "I still want to thank you."
He planned to go up the mountain to hunt some game when he had time and send it over as a way of thanking the two siblings.
Zhuang Feifei and Luo Jingyan were neighbors. At that moment, she had just returned from working in the fields and hadn't even reached her doorstep when she saw the four people in the distance.
She was especially shocked when she saw Lu Chengye.
The man she desperately wanted to seduce fell for her trap and instead spent time with Luo Jingyan.
Lu Chengye is such a cold person, what kind of seductive tricks did Luo Jingyan use to seduce him?
Ha, seducing a soldier wasn't enough, and since the soldier wasn't around, she'd hook up with Lu Chengye instead.
How promiscuous she must be, how much she can't bear the loneliness of not having a man around.
Although she had already given up on Lu Chengye, she still felt unhappy seeing Lu Chengye and Luo Jingyan together.
She admitted that she wasn't as pretty as Luo Jingyan, nor as skilled in martial arts, but she felt that she had many strengths over Luo Jingyan. At least she was gentler than that tomboy and knew better how to manipulate men's hearts than Luo Jingyan.
But why do these men specifically like Luo Jingyan?
Hmph, if others find out that Luo Jingyan is two-timing and messing around with men and women in this conservative era, she'll be in big trouble.
She was waiting to see how things would develop between the two. She would keep a close eye on Luo Jingyan these next few days, and if she found out that they really had an intimate relationship, she would immediately report it to the captain and have him arrest Luo Jingyan on charges of having an affair.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile again.
As it was getting late, Lu Chengye and Lu Jiu'er had to go home, so they said goodbye to Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian: "We're going back now."
"Okay, let's go back."
Lu Jiu'er waved her hand: "Goodbye, Sister Jingyan! Goodbye, Brother Changtian!"
"goodbye!"
"goodbye!"
As Lu Chengye turned to leave with Lu Jiu'er, he inadvertently saw Zhuang Feifei standing not far away. He had no expression, only glanced at her briefly before looking away and walking away.
Zhuang Feifei glanced sideways at his retreating figure.
"Lu Chengye, don't think that just because you're a future tycoon I have to fawn over you. Just wait and see, I'm going to find someone even more capable than you."
In this world, having money doesn't necessarily mean having power, but having money makes it easy to get more money.
What she wants is a man who is both rich and powerful.
She wanted money and status; she wanted to be the envy of everyone.
The next morning, before dawn, Lu Chengye went up the mountain and hunted two pheasants. He planned to eat one himself and give the other to Luo Jingyan to repay the siblings for their help to his sister.
He originally wanted to deliver it to Luo Jingyan in person to express his sincere gratitude to the siblings, but when he thought of Zhuang Feifei's look yesterday, he suddenly realized that Zhuang Feifei might think that he and Luo Jingyan had something going on.
He was afraid that if he went to Luo Jingyan's house, others would see him and mistakenly think that his relationship with Luo Jingyan was unusual, and gossip would spread about him and Luo Jingyan. So he asked Lu Jiu'er to deliver it to Luo Jingyan herself.
After delivering the pheasant, Lu Jiu'er went to school with Luo Changtian.
Luo Jingyan stored the pheasant in her spatial storage, planning to eat it after Luo Changtian got out of school that evening, as long as he cleaned the pheasant before Luo Changtian got out of school.
After a day and a night of travel, Xue Ningnan's train finally entered Jilin Province at dawn and was expected to reach its destination around noon.
Luo Jingyan goes to the county's black market every now and then to do business with Chen Yinghao; they have become regular business partners.
Since her spatial abilities were enhanced, she could actually teleport to the county town, but considering that she might run into acquaintances from her village in broad daylight, it would be easy to wonder how she got there if she didn't take an oxcart.
Especially if she encounters someone like Zhuang Feifei, her identity as a time traveler will be even more easily exposed.
So, she chose to travel by oxcart as before, where she could chat with other people. She quite liked this mode of transportation, except for the bumpy ride.
After finalizing a deal with Chen Yinghao, she left the black market and decided to stop by the Qin family to visit Old Madam Qin and their newborn daughter. She even stayed for lunch at the Qin family's house.
At the train station, Xue Ningnan dragged her suitcase out of the station gate. It was midday, lunchtime.
Her stomach rang its alarm clock right on time, reminding her it was lunchtime. She touched her stomach and realized she was indeed hungry.
Because Beijing is quite far from here, and it's inconvenient to travel there, she doesn't come here often. Twice she came with Aunt Xue to visit Old Mrs. Qin. Unless there are special circumstances, the first place she goes after getting off the bus is naturally the Qin family.
But she couldn't go to the Qin family this time. She had come here without telling Xue's mother. If the Qin family found out she was here, they might tell Xue's mother about her whereabouts.
In addition, she was still unclear about the Qin family's attitude towards Luo Jingyan. She felt that the Qin family probably shared the same thoughts as Xue's mother. Since her thoughts were contrary to theirs, she was even less likely to go to the Qin family.
She randomly asked someone on the street for the address of the state-run restaurant in the county town, and had lunch there.
After leaving the state-run restaurant, she asked a passerby for directions to the Shengli Brigade. She learned that she needed to take an oxcart to get there, so she went to find the oxcart according to the address and route the person had given her.
After leaving the Qin family, Luo Jingyan still had to go to the post office.
Because Xue Yanchen sends her letters every week, she checks to see if she receives any.
Sure enough, there was a letter from Xue Yanchen at the post office, along with a package. She picked it up and went out, then put the items into her spatial storage shortly afterward.
After leaving the post office, she also needed to find the oxcart of the Victory Brigade to take back to the brigade.
As luck would have it, she had just come out of the alley when she bumped into Xue Ningnan, who was passing by the alley entrance.
