A short while later, Zhou Yunting came out, looking the same as before, and walked to their kitchen door with his cane.
While Zhu Xiaomin was tending the fire, she slipped a note to Jiang Wenwan.
Jiang Wenwan calmly put the note in her hand, stored it in her spatial storage, and continued cooking.
I had boneless meat cold noodles for lunch.
She shaved the meat off the bones to make a cold noodle dish, adding cucumber shreds, vinegar, and minced garlic.
After cooking the noodles in bone broth, rinse them with cold water.
The mixture was tangy, slightly spicy, and refreshing; everyone ate quite a bit.
During today's lunch break, everyone at the educated youth settlement is bound to be itching with envy and resentment.
They lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), tossing and turning, thinking about returning to the city.
The newly arrived educated youth were doing alright, but the older educated youth were truly living a life of unbearable hardship.
Not only Ma Debi, but even Du Zhiyuan spoke with Wu Weiguo separately to understand the situation.
However, they were destined to be disappointed.
In the afternoon, after gathering pig feed, Jiang Wenwan took out the note Zhou Yunting had given her from her spatial storage after going up the mountain. The note had the time and place written on it.
So, you're asking her to meet up with you alone to talk?
Although he didn't know what Wu Weiguo wanted to say to him, he was with Wu Weiguo.
If Wu Weiguo is going back, then he'll probably have to go back too.
Thinking about what he said about submitting a report for marriage after returning home.
Jiang Wenwan was still a little excited.
"Jiang Zhiqing, oh dear, I saw you coming up the mountain from afar. Um, I need to talk to you about something."
The one who called Jiang Wenwan was Widow Wang. Ever since that incident, Widow Wang and Boss Sun have become the biggest joke in the village.
He was taken to the brigade by the village and given a good scolding.
These two have been avoiding going out into the village much lately, except when they're working in the fields.
Jiang Wenwan wanted to find an opportunity to bring Sun Laoda into the mountains, but he didn't come out for more than ten days.
His family still relies on work points earned by his mother working in the fields for food.
This widow Sun suddenly approached me; she probably doesn't have good intentions.
I've been wanting to deal with them for a long time, too.
"Oh, it's Aunt Wang! What can I do for you?"
Widow Wang forced a smile.
"Here's the thing, I saw a roe deer in the mountains a few days ago, but I didn't dare to shoot it because I was alone."
I was just thinking that you're always carrying a gun up the mountain and you're quite good at hunting, so I just wanted to let you know.
Let's go tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon, we'll go up the mountain and I'll tell you where the roe deer is.
"You took half of what we owed, and instead of bringing it back to the village, you took it outside to exchange for money, how about that?"
"Tomorrow afternoon? Sure!"
After agreeing, she deliberately teased Widow Wang.
"Actually, I'm fine right now. Look, we've finished cutting the pig feed. Why don't we go in and cut that robe now?"
Widow Wang's lips twitched.
"Not now, I have to go back to work!"
"Okay!"
This level of intelligence is harmful; I'm truly speechless. They even gave themselves time to prepare.
I gathered pig feed in the afternoon and made dumpling soup for dinner. The dumplings were made from wheat flour, topped with golden eggs, green beans, and of course, meat.
“Madpi, I’ll go up the mountain to gather pig feed tomorrow afternoon. You can come up later with a gun, and I’ll teach you how to hunt roe deer.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Debi jumped for joy.
"Really? That's great."
Zhang Sanye gave me the gun a couple of days ago. I've been very busy planting rice these past few days, and I'm exhausted every day.
I've never had the chance to go up the mountain and take a stroll around.
I'll finish my work early this afternoon; if necessary, I'll ask for leave to go up the mountain.
Zhou Yunting glanced at the two of them without showing any emotion.
They went to bed around 8 p.m.
At midnight, Zhou Yunting got up and went out.
"Brother Ting, where are you going?"
"Go to the toilet."
Wu Weiguo muttered something, and when he heard that he was going to the toilet, he turned over and went back to sleep.
Jiang Wenwan was alone in the room anyway, and when she heard the noise under the window, she quickly got up and went out.
The two exchanged a glance, but didn't go far. They stayed in the educated youth settlement, in a blind spot in Jiang Wenwan's kitchen.
This area is usually used to store firewood, and the toilet is located next to it.
Late at night, the two stood very close together, speaking in hushed tones.
This should be considered their first official date, right?
Surprisingly, it was next to the woodpile between the kitchen and the toilet, which was also a very good spot.
Jiang Wenwan spoke in a low voice.
"Why did you call me out?"
Zhou Yunting leaned closer to her; the two were so close they could hear each other's breaths.
"Speak up if you have something to say, why are you standing so close?"
Jiang Wenwan didn't dare to look at him, feeling as if his gaze was burning her up.
"I called you out because I wanted to tell you that I have already submitted a report to my superiors."
Jiang Wenwan looked up at him abruptly upon hearing his words.
This person is really tall; I have to look up to see him.
When Zhou Yunting saw that she finally looked up at him, a smile appeared on his lips.
A mischievous glint flashed across his face.
Even though it was late at night and pitch black, Jiang Wenwan could clearly see the expression on his face.
"you,"
"Don't get excited, I submitted a report saying I'm taking a leave of absence."
After this mission is completed, I will not go back with Wu Weiguo because I need to recuperate for a month due to my injury.
During this month-long rest period, I will continue to stay at the educated youth settlement.
Jiang Wenwan: ...
She had genuinely thought this person had submitted a marriage application.
She got excited for nothing.
She glared at him, annoyed.
Zhou Yunting looked down at the glare she gave him, and it felt as if a feather had gently brushed against his heart.
