Even if he didn't use his connections to remove the person from the position, that person would still be occupying the spot because they were injured and unable to work.
Now he can forget about even getting a spot.
When they went back for lunch, Jiang Wenwan and Zhu Xiaomin made stir-fried cabbage with pork slices and cooked a pot of white rice together.
The other educated youth didn't eat as well as those two; they ate nothing but brown rice and sweet potatoes, and boiled cabbage.
It's fortunate that Hu Qinghua lived like a pampered young lady in the Hu family before, so she was able to endure it here.
Jiang Wenwan sat on a small stool by the kitchen door, eating a large bowl of rice topped with stir-fried cabbage and meat, glancing at Hu Qinghua and Wang Jianguo as she ate.
She was wise to bring them to the countryside, but in the end, the couple did not kill the original owner of the body with their own hands.
Killing them is out of the question; it's not bad to just watch them suffer.
Ma Debi excitedly ran up to Jiang Wenwan with the bowl in his hand.
"Jiang Zhiqing, we can be considered to have a revolutionary friendship, right?"
Can I come over and have dinner with you guys sometime? I'll pay.
Jiang Wenwan refused outright.
"cannot!"
After saying that, she shoveled a big mouthful of rice into his mouth and rolled her eyes at him.
Maddrey guessed there was a 50% chance this would be the outcome, and continued to ask with a grin:
"When are you going up the mountain to hunt rabbits? This kind of corn takes several days to grow, and after that, we still need to plant beans and rice."
This period has been the busiest and most tiring, and we all want to eat better.
"I'll go tomorrow."
"Very good,"
Ma Debi happily ate a few mouthfuls of rice.
Jiang Wenwan frowned when she saw him still standing in front of her.
"Get away!"
"Okay!"
Zhou Yunting glanced at their interaction, then continued eating. When they worked in the afternoon, the two of them were still together.
They collected farm tools and corn seeds and continued working.
Having learned from the morning's experience, Zhou Yunting didn't work as quickly in the afternoon.
"You're going up the mountain tomorrow, I'll go with you!"
Jiang Wenwan looked up at him.
"Need not!"
I mean, you still have tasks to complete, so go and do them!
But she couldn't say that; if someone found out, it would be a big problem.
When Zhou Yunting saw that she rejected him, he assumed she was still angry.
He slowed down and lowered his voice:
"If I admit my mistake, will you stop being angry with me?"
Jiang Wenwan glanced at the people around her, rolled her eyes at him, and quickly said something.
"I'm not angry anymore, but you better remember our relationship!"
They now have a relationship similar to that of ordinary educated youth.
Zhou Yunting was amused. He interpreted it as the girl forgiving him and acknowledging their relationship.
How could he not be happy?
"Hey, Zhou Zhiqing, what are you laughing about?"
Aunt Lan was working with Wu Weiguo on the other side.
Wu Weiguo glanced at Zhou Yunting, who smiled and greeted Aunt Lan.
"Hello, auntie. I was thinking of writing home later and telling my boyfriend that I'm doing well here, the people at the educated youth settlement are all very nice, and the villagers are all very nice too!"
He glanced at Jiang Wenwan quickly as he spoke, but she pretended not to hear him, standing straight and continuing to count the corn kernels in her hand as she threw them into the pit.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lan immediately started gossiping.
"Oh my, Zhou Zhiqing, you have a boyfriend now!"
It's a pity, though. I think you two are the best looking among the educated youth in the settlement.
Where is your partner from?
Where do you work?
Didn't I go to the countryside with you?
Hearing Aunt Lan ask so many questions at once, Jiang Wenwan's lips twitched imperceptibly.
Zhou Yunting did not shy away from saying:
"My partner is from Tangshi and has a job, so he didn't go to the countryside with me."
However, my partner is very supportive of my work; she's beautiful and has a good personality.
Jiang Wenwan looked down into the pit. He dug a hole and planted three or four corn seeds, with only a faint smile playing on his lips.
Aunt Lan exclaimed in pain.
"Then you are truly blessed."
Wu Weiguo was speechless. How come he didn't know when Zhou Yunting had a girlfriend?
Just then, he saw Aunt Lan turn her head and ask him...
"Wu Zhiqing, do you have a boyfriend?"
No, there's no rush.
Aunt Lan immediately perked up.
"Why aren't you in a hurry? My husband was already married to me when he was your age."
"Let me tell you, I have a niece on my mother's side. I'm having her come over in a couple of days. Do you think she'll like it?"
Wu Weiguo's face stiffened for a moment, and he quickly shook his head like a rattle drum.
"No need, no need."
Jiang Wenwan watched as he shook his head and backed away, his hoe quickly digging holes in the ridges, leaving Aunt Lan far behind.
"Wow... this young man is quick at digging holes."
Jiang Zhiqing, I heard your boyfriend is in the army. What rank is he?
If your rank is low, you'll have a tough time; you won't be able to go with the army.
If the level is high,
Jiang Wenwan was speechless; this had brought the topic back to her again.
"Auntie, don't worry about me. I'll keep my boyfriend a secret. You should worry about Comrade Lanxiang's marriage!"
“Sigh, my son is of age and it’s time for him to find a partner. But things aren’t like they used to be, where parents could arrange everything. Now, people have to be compatible.”
You're such a good girl, it's a pity you already have a boyfriend.
Jiang Wenwan is happy.
"Auntie, you'd better hurry up and catch up, or the ground will dry out."
Reminded by her, Aunt Lan quickly sped up the process of planting corn seeds to catch up.
