Back in the village, Wei Aiguo returned the horse-drawn cart, while Chen Xiaodong wasn't idle either. He went to clean up the wastewater. Cleaning up the wastewater was a very dirty job, but Chen Xiaodong was happy to do it. He hadn't had meat in so long; today he could finally satisfy his craving…
Wei Aiguo told his mother that the pig had fallen into the pit and was already dead when Song Yan found it. Even so, Aunt Wei still told Song Yan to be careful and avoid such things in the future.
Aiguo helped with the cooking when he came back. Although dinner was a little late today, the braised pig's head, stir-fried pork intestines, and braised lung slices were all incredibly delicious! To Chen Xiaodong's surprise, when he left, Song Yan gave him a large piece of fatty meat and a huge bowl of braised pig's head. "This is too much." That piece of fatty meat must have weighed three pounds.
Song Yan gave all the fatty meat to Chen Xiaodong. He had plenty of pork intestines at home; he could render oil from them and eat it.
"Do we still need to talk about that?" Wei Aiguo's words made Chen Xiaodong particularly happy. Song Yan's generosity also made Wei Aiguo feel comfortable. However, the fact that Song Yan bought so many noodles still made Wei Aiguo uneasy. He felt that Song Yan buying so many noodles meant his family was taking advantage of her.
The next day, Lao Han and his group ate vegetable dumplings with meat in them, and surprisingly, these dumplings contained more cornmeal than vegetables.
Old Du suddenly said, "Song Yan, let me teach you self-defense."
Song Yan didn't want to learn because he thought it was too hard, but he understood Lao Du's feelings and felt bad about eating so much of her food. So she didn't refuse outright.
Old Liao: "What I know is useless to you even if you learn it."
Old Zeng: "What I know, you probably won't need."
Song Yan laughed heartily. These are such lovely people!
That evening, Song Yan made deep-fried dumplings, but Jiang Xiaoxiao refused to come no matter what. Song Yan felt disappointed. Song Yan decided to go to the educated youth settlement the next day at noon to intercept Jiang Xiaoxiao and see if she would come.
Song Yan never expected that instead of intercepting Jiang Xiaoxiao, she would run into He Jianian first. This was the first time Song Yan had carefully observed He Jianian. He completely lacked the masculine qualities a man should have; calling him a pretty boy was an insult. He was simply a slick-haired, powder-faced guy. She couldn't understand what the original owner had seen in him. He was just pretending to be refined by wearing glasses.
Seeing Song Yan's gaze fall on him, He Jianian was secretly pleased. Song Yan still couldn't forget him. "How are you doing? You have no idea how much I miss you. But it's inconvenient for me to visit you."
“I’m doing very well,” Song Yan said truthfully.
…She answered that she was doing well? Shouldn't she be touched by his concern? Why was she so calm! “I'm happy you're doing well. Do you know that in my heart, your happiness is more important than my own?” He Jianian put on what he considered his most affectionate expression. Song Yan always thought about Jiang Xiaoxiao; Jiang Xiaoxiao had eaten so many good things from him. He cared for her so much, shouldn't she think of him too?
Song Yan felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. He hadn't seen Wei Aiguo face-to-face since marrying him. He never expected Wei Aiguo to suddenly appear and annoy him like this. "I also believe my happiness is the most important thing. I heard the brigade leader isn't so strongly against you and Wu Meili dating anymore. I hope you two will become a couple soon." So that Wu Meili can cripple your third leg sooner.
The brigade leader didn't fancy He Jianian at all. However, after that incident, Wu Meili's reputation was ruined. Now, some people were even whispering that Cheng Yousuo was lucky—he had a wife at home, and other young women were eyeing him. Of course, no one dared let the brigade leader hear these words. The brigade leader's wife asked a matchmaker to propose marriage, but no one paid any attention. With no one else to choose from, He Jianian became the only option for both the brigade leader and Wu Meili.
"In my heart, no one can compare to you." He Jianian said, looking at Song Yan with what he thought was deep affection. It turned out that Song Yan always prioritized He Jianian, satisfying his vanity. Now, looking at Song Yan, she had become more beautiful, and she seemed to have grown taller in the past two months. He Jianian felt a little itchy; marrying Wu Meili would make his life less miserable. If Song Yan were willing to secretly be with her… just thinking about it, life in the countryside wouldn't be so difficult.
If Song Yan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say, "You want to eat farts!"
His expression was so irritating. That clod of dirt definitely didn't hurt him enough last time. Song Yan decided to learn self-defense from Lao Du, so that next time he encountered He Jianian, he could easily kick him to the ground.
He Jianian was so engrossed in his daydream that he had no idea that Song Yan was planning how to beat him up.
To Song Yan, who had transmigrated from another world, He Jianian was a complete stranger. He had never taken him seriously. But today, Song Yan suddenly realized he was wrong. Having used the original owner's body, he should settle this debt for the original owner. At the very least, he shouldn't have let He Jianian be so comfortable.
Wei Aiguo saw Song Yan and He Jianian standing together from afar, seemingly having talked for quite a while. Is this how lovers should be? Wei Aiguo had never had a lover and didn't know what it felt like to talk to one. Right now, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Last time, he disliked He Jianian and, taking advantage of the crowd walking together, tripped her. He Jianian fell hard and limped for several days; it seemed he hadn't gone too far.
