"Go ahead and eat. It's easy for me to have fruit."
Lin Jingyu, who had a cargo box full of fruit, said nonchalantly, "Take better care of yourself. Eat what you have first. Don't always think about giving everything to your brother. Maybe your brother has eaten more than you have."
"Um!"
Liu Xiuying knew, of course, that her younger brother was very much loved by their parents, and he was always the first to eat anything good at home.
She's just used to saving the good stuff for her younger brother, which doesn't mean she doesn't want to eat good food herself.
Taking a small bite of the sweet and crisp apple, Liu Xiuying assured that it was the best fruit she had ever eaten in her life.
“It’s delicious.”
Unable to help but let out a sigh, Liu Xiuying quickly looked puzzled. "Sister Jingyu, I remember eating an apple once before, and it didn't taste that good."
The fruit wasn't that big, it wasn't that crisp, and it didn't have as much juice. Are there different kinds of apples?
"Yes, there are several varieties of apples, and the taste of apples grown in different places is also different."
While munching on a fruit, Lin Jingyu responded, "Of course, the tastier the apple, the more expensive it will be. Ordinary people can't afford such a delicious big apple."
Think back to the past, when fruits were abundant and you could find almost anything you wanted, but even delicious apples weren't cheap, let alone apples in this era.
"No wonder it tastes so good."
Liu Xiuying strongly agrees with the idea that the more expensive the fruit, the better it tastes. "It's normal for it to be a little expensive, but this kind of fruit should only be affordable for wealthy people."
"Maybe." Lin Jingyu smiled and then asked, "By the way, Xiuying, what brings you here?"
"Oh, that's right."
Liu Xiuying said, "My dog had a litter of puppies, and my mom asked me to come and ask if you'd like to adopt one."
"Raise a puppy?"
Lin Jingyu, who had never planned to do this before, thought the suggestion was good.
You know, no matter what village or place you're from, there will always be one or two people who like to break into other people's homes and rummage through their things, or steal something from their homes.
She has her own house with a yard, so having a small guard dog at home could serve as a warning.
Besides, it does feel a bit lonely when she's home alone, so it would be nice to have a little dog to keep her company.
How old is your dog?
Lin Jingyu asked, "When can we bring it home to raise?"
"It's only been half a month since it was born, so we have to wait at least another half a month before we can bring it home to raise."
"Okay, leave me a clever little dog."
"Don't worry, Sister Jingyu. My mother dog is a hunting dog. She is not only very smart, but she also helps with hunting. Her puppies are all very smart."
"I want the smartest puppy among the puppies. I'll come to your house to pick one later."
"No problem... Oh dear, I almost forgot something."
Liu Xiuying quickly shared the news she had received: "Sister Jingyu, the new educated youth are arriving in our village tomorrow, did you know?"
"Oh, it will arrive tomorrow."
Lin Jingyu was prepared and not surprised. "So what if they come? They can't possibly come and take my room. No matter how many educated youths come, it has nothing to do with us."
"I heard that this time a lot of educated youth will be assigned to our village."
Liu Xiuying continued eating as she spoke: "As arranged by the group leader, this afternoon we will help tidy up the houses in the educated youth compound."
It would be best to prepare a few usable rooms to accommodate the newly arrived educated youth.
"I see."
Lin Jingyu nodded. "Besides the house I stayed in, there should be two or three other houses that people can live in."
However, if you want to stay there, you really need to tidy it up properly, otherwise the newly arrived educated youth won't have a place to stay on the first day.
I'm taking the day off from work today. You all go help with the tidying up; I'm going up the mountain to chop some firewood so I won't be too busy to chop firewood during the busy farming season.
"sure."
Liu Xiuying responded, "Anyway, everyone knows you took leave, so no one will say anything if you don't go to work this afternoon."
"I'll go chop firewood on the mountain after I finish work, and I'll look for you then."
"Okay, I'll go to the place where we chopped wood last time. You can just come over there."
"Then you have to wait for me."
"no problem."
After seeing Liu Xiuying off, Lin Jingyu went up the mountain to chop firewood.
He took a water bottle and a machete and went up the mountain alone.
She found the grove of trees where she had chopped firewood last time and began to work diligently.
An hour later.
She carried a load of firewood down the mountain to go home.
After resting at home for a while, we went up the mountain again.
Upon reaching the original spot, they continued chopping wood.
Liu Xiuying arrived, panting, just as she was about to finish chopping her second load of firewood.
The two then chatted as they chopped wood.
Working together, they quickly chopped and tied up the two loads of firewood.
As the sun was about to set, the two carried firewood down the mountain.
"I don't care, I don't care!"
Suddenly, a piercing scream rang out.
The two stopped walking simultaneously.
"Sister Jingyu, it seems to be..."
Liu Xiuying whispered, "It's Zhao Zhiqing's voice."
Lin Jingyu naturally understood and gestured for her to look to the right.
When she could clearly see the two figures in the distance, Liu Xiuying's eyes widened. "It's...it's Zhang Aiguo and Zhao Zhiqing?"
"It's them."
Lin Jingyu put down the load and whispered, "Quickly put the firewood down. Let's wait a bit before we leave, so as not to cause trouble."
Of course, the main thing to know is what kind of tricks these two are up to.
"Oh, okay."
Liu Xiuying put down the burden on her shoulders.
