"I think you're too concerned, so I kindly reminded you. How could you be so ungrateful? Well, forget I said anything."
Seeing Yang Jun turned his head and looked away, Liu De felt that his attitude was not very good.
"That's not what I meant. There are only a few of us in the educated youth camp, so we should help each other if we can. Qiao Zhiqing is simple-minded and only cares about her friends. I'm afraid that one day she will be deceived by Du Zhiqing."
Yang Jun thought to himself that she was really hoping to be cheated by Du Jiaming.
"Yang Zhiqing, when will you come back? Perhaps we can come back together."
Liu De and Yang Jun are in the same city and take the same train home.
"Third grade of junior high school," Yang Jun uttered two words lightly.
"So early? Aren't you going to be home for the Lantern Festival? There's nothing to do in the brigade anyway, and people won't go to the fields to work until after the first lunar month. Why don't you stay home for a few more days?"
Liu De planned to stay at home for a longer time this time. He hadn't been home for several years and had had enough of life in the countryside.
Yang Jun didn't respond to him, but he was thinking about how to get close to the branch secretary's daughter after he came back.
If Li Meiling could marry the branch secretary's son for a primary school teacher position, why couldn't he marry the branch secretary's daughter?
Could it be that he, a grown man, is not as decisive as a woman?
After Liu De and Yang Jun left, Li Meiling went back to her room to catch up on her sleep. Qiao Wenwan thought about it and decided to go to the boys' dormitory.
Everyone had left, and Du Jiaming was the only one left in the entire boys' dormitory.
At this moment, Du Jiaming had just gotten up and was putting on his socks. When he saw Qiao Wenwan pushing the door in, he thought for a moment and didn't say anything.
Qiao Wenwan sat down on the edge of the kang and sighed slowly.
"Everyone has gone home for the holidays, so there are only three of us left at the educated youth camp. I'm not used to it yet. It feels so deserted everywhere. It's a good thing Li Meiling didn't go back to visit her family, otherwise I would be a little scared living alone."
Du Jiaming put on his socks and started to fold the quilt again. Qiao Wenwan glanced at him and then looked away.
"Speaking of Li Meiling, it seems she really told the Party Secretary that her son is dating someone. She didn't even go home for the New Year, and she went out with the Party Secretary's son all day yesterday. You know that watch on her hand? It was a New Year's gift from the Party Secretary's son. I used to think that these peasants in the countryside knew nothing, but it seems they're not all like that. They even know how to give gifts to people they like during festivals. But Brother Jiaming, don't worry, I don't ask you for any New Year's gifts."
Although he said this, his eyes were full of anticipation.
She knew Du Jiaming's character and he was very concerned about his reputation, otherwise he would not have paid for Jiang Wanwan's package on her behalf.
Since you know that the secretary's son, a peasant, bought a New Year's gift for Li Meiling, he will definitely give her a gift, right?
She had no special requirements for the gift. It didn't matter if it wasn't a watch. A new dress or a box of cream would do. She just wanted a token of his thoughtfulness.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Du Jiaming turned around and spoke in her expectant eyes.
"I also happen to have something to discuss with you."
"Brother Jiaming, I'm free these days and I'm bored staying at the educated youth camp." If he wants to go to the county town to buy things, she is willing to accompany him.
Du Jiaming glanced at her and said in a calm voice, "The Spring Festival is almost here. I'd like to invite the branch secretary and the team leader to come over and sit with us to thank them for taking care of us over the past year."
"You want to treat me to a meal?" Qiao Wenwan didn't react for a moment and almost shouted at the top of her lungs.
Du Jiaming frowned slightly. He wasn't afraid of the neighbors hearing such a big reaction, but when he thought about the fact that he couldn't hide the invitation from Li Meiling, he continued, "I'm not very good at these things, so you'll have to be careful when the time comes."
"Why should we invite them over for dinner? Most of the people at the educated youth camp have left, and there are only three of us left. If we want to invite them, we should do it when everyone is here. The branch secretary and the team leader aren't just taking care of us two."
According to Qiao Wenwan, the branch secretary and the team leader did not take care of them at all, but only caused trouble for them.
Du Jiaming frowned even more tightly, feeling that the woman in front of him was petty and didn't have the vision and sophistication of the woman in his previous life.
Thinking of her age, he could only explain patiently, "There are only three spots for elementary school teachers. Do you think it's better to treat them all when they are here, or treat them individually after they leave?"
Qiao Wenwan immediately understood what was said. "Brother Jiaming, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. I just thought that with Brother Jiaming's ability, he would definitely be able to secure a position as an elementary school teacher."
"Ability is part of it, and what should be expressed must also be expressed." This is the most basic human relationship.
If he had no memories of his past life, he might not care about these things. Now, he not only has to care but also has to do it well. After all, he has to rely on himself to return to the city.
The college entrance examination will be resumed in more than half a year. He wants to get a position as a primary school teacher first, teach while studying, and strive to get into university and return to the city.
This was his last chance and he didn't want to miss it.
Du Jiaming took out two big unity notes from his pocket and said, "Take this money and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat and vegetables, and two bottles of wine. You can buy more meat and vegetables, and we can eat the rest during the festival."
Qiao Wenwan's eyes lit up when she saw the money and she took it. "I understand, Brother Jiaming. Don't worry."
Du Jiaming was quite satisfied with her attitude. She was his good wife in the previous life. Such a small matter was not a problem in her hands. Even if she did some things wrong now, it was because she was young and capable.
"Just use your ability and do it. We are just asking the team leaders. You don't have to worry too much. The most important thing is that we are showing our sincerity."
Qiao Wenwan nodded, rubbing the twenty yuan in her hand, figuring that there should be some left after buying the vegetables.
What made her even more surprised was that Du Jiaming had earned another twenty yuan in just a few days.
They are worthy of being the business elites of later generations. Even though they work in such difficult conditions, it is still easy for them to make money.
So what if Lu Xiao was capable? He was just a bunch of sluggish labor, and he only earned a little over a hundred yuan a year. These days, the thing people have the most is strength.
"Brother Jiaming, I understand all these things, and I will help you with them. But I'm worried that if I use your money to help you, the members of the cooperative might say something. You don't know what they say, it's really unpleasant. Not only will the members of the village spread it, but even the people at the educated youth camp will spread it..."
She looked embarrassed and aggrieved, but quietly watched Du Jiaming's reaction.
Jiang Wanwan and Lu Xiao have been married for half a year. Instead of letting others gossip about her relationship with Du Jiaming, it would be better for her to get married earlier.
Anyway, Jiang Wanwan is married, so even if someone uses their identities to attack them again, they can fight back head-on, instead of being like they are now, unable to cover up or admit it.
