"You're welcome."
Zhang Hongwei patted him on the shoulder, "Go and take care of your own business. We'll have a proper talk when we have time in the county town later."
"OK."
Qian Luyuan felt that this job was a bit strange.
But deep down, I wouldn't reject such a good thing.
Lin Jingyu and others soon learned that he had started working at the Armed Forces Department.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging by the days, the Japanese devils should be back soon.
It would be best for Qian Luyuan to stay away from him until he returns.
"Good, good."
Yang Shujue patted Lin Jingyu on the shoulder, "Now that he's gone, you won't have any more worries."
Peng Shiyu was genuinely relieved when she heard the news.
Every time I see him fawning over Lin Jingyu, I can't help but worry.
Or this might be the best-case scenario.
"You're overthinking it."
Lin Jingyu responded frankly, "He's not my type. If he hadn't kept quiet about it, I would have made it clear to him long ago."
"Yes, you like men like Peng Qibo."
Yang Shujue winked at her, "Sister, it seems you also pick men with good physiques, right?"
"Yang Shujue, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Jingyu rolled her eyes in anger, "If you want to get married, just say so. Don't set a bad example for the kids here."
"Corrupt children? Hahaha~"
Yang Shujue laughed hysterically, "What kind of kids are you? Girls your age in the village are all getting married, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves kids?"
"What, it's not okay?"
Lin Jingyu sneered repeatedly, "I remember someone shamelessly once said that twenty-year-olds are still little babies. I'm only sixteen, so why can't I be called a child?"
"I'm right."
Yang Shujue responded confidently, "I'm still a baby at twenty, and I'm still a baby at thirty. What, you're not convinced?"
"Shameless is shameless."
Lin Jingyu scoffed, "Some people become grandmothers or maternal grandmothers in their thirties. Who dares to call themselves 'baby' unless your husband is holding you at eighty years old and calling you 'baby'?"
Hahaha~
Peng Shiyu laughed hysterically.
The whole courtyard was filled with her joyful laughter.
Just then, Liu Xiuying arrived.
"What are you talking about? You seem to be having a lot of fun."
She sat down next to Peng Shiyu, picked up some melon seeds from the table and asked as she cracked them open, "Is there some good news?"
"What happy event is there?"
Yang Shujue had had her fill of commotion and madness, and started cracking sunflower seeds. "I was just joking around. Why did you come over at this hour? Is everything alright at home?"
"Nothing."
Liu Xiuying responded to her, "The harvest season will be here soon. Everyone is relatively free now, and the village chief hasn't arranged for anyone to work."
Everyone's been busy with their own things lately, including my family.
"It really is harvest time again."
Peng Shiyu nodded. "Our school will have summer vacation in two more weeks."
Time flies.
Yang Shujue sighed, "We've only been in Shuibu Village for a year, and everyone has changed a lot."
Especially you, Shiyu, you're like a completely different person since you first arrived.
"yes."
Peng Shiyu recalled her past self and couldn't help but feel shy, "I don't know why I was so afraid of people back then."
I don't want to talk to anyone except people I know well. I only dare to communicate with people I feel very familiar with, people who won't look down on me or secretly laugh at me.
"Shiyu, given your family situation, you shouldn't be so timid."
Yang Shujue asked in confusion, "Could something have happened to you when you were a child?"
"When I was little?"
Peng Shiyu blinked. "I don't know anything about my childhood. From my childhood memories, my parents were very busy, and I rarely saw them."
Sometimes they get so busy they don't show up for days at a time; I guess that's why I started to become less talkative.
"wrong."
Yang Shujue shook her head directly, "Even if your parents are rarely home and don't communicate with you much, what about the people who raised you?"
"Don't you remember who raised you when you were little?"
"When I was little?"
Peng Shiyu paused for a moment, "My mother told me that I was raised by an aunt when I was little. I vaguely remember that there was such a person, but she left a long time ago."
I must have been around three or four years old, but I don't remember her at all.
“Children should start speaking as soon as they turn one year old, and by the age of three, they are almost fully capable of expressing their own wishes.”
Yang Shujue said seriously, "I guess something must have happened when you were about two years old, which caused you to not like to talk, and to be afraid of contacting people and not to talk to them."
I think the aunt who took care of you when you were little had a lot of problems.
"Don't guess blindly."
Lin Jingyu interrupted their conversation, "Even if we pursue these matters, there's no point. Besides, Shiyu has fully recovered. Saying too much will only make Shiyu feel uncomfortable."
"oh."
Yang Shujue seemed not to have thought of this, and smiled apologetically, "Peng Shiyu, I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay, I don't remember any of those things."
Peng Shiyu smiled and shook her head, "Maybe you guessed right. Something must have happened when I was two or three years old, but my family didn't tell me."
"It's all over."
Lin Jingyu said one thing and then changed the subject, "I heard that Accountant Liu's two daughters-in-law are having a dispute over dividing the family property, is that true?"
