If it weren't for the fact that the times are different now, she could wait until she's over twenty-five to talk about marriage. If she doesn't find the right person, she could stay single for life. It seems like she doesn't have a high need for marriage.
"That's right. You're still young. You can't find a partner too early. Wait until you're an adult. Otherwise, you might be easily fooled by a few sweet words from someone else."
"What?" Qian Xiao pointed to his own nose.
"Are you talking about me? Although I've never been in a relationship, I have a strong theoretical knowledge. I'm not going to become love-struck. I know all the tricks men use. I'm not the one who will fall for it."
Sun Kaicheng wanted to ask, "How come you didn't realize that I like you so obviously?" After thinking about it, he decided to wait another two years, since they weren't actually that old.
If someone is right in front of you and you still let someone else get there first, then you'd better log off quickly to avoid embarrassing yourself.
"What? You're only seventeen and you're already thinking about finding a girlfriend?" This guy is way too precocious. He wasn't that old back in the apocalypse, was he? He's already thinking about getting married so early?
"No, no, I was just asking. I'm not in a hurry; I'll wait a few years to talk about it." We can't let Comrade Erdan misunderstand this.
Qian Xiao nodded: "You scared me. If you're in a hurry now, I'll have to find a safe place to hide things right away. What if you find a boyfriend and misunderstand me?"
If Sun Kaicheng finds a partner, will the two of them have to distance themselves? If they go out on dates, what can she do? Wouldn't that turn into a love triangle?
Qian Xiao shuddered. She couldn't become that kind of person, someone who, despite being a childhood sweetheart, had no sense of propriety and caused constant arguments between couples.
Sigh, Sun Kaicheng is truly an excellent friend; she would be quite disappointed if she lost him.
"What are you thinking? I'm not looking for a partner right now, so don't overthink it." Even if I do look for someone in the future, it will be you, so what are you worried about?
"Hey, let's not talk about that anymore. Do you think that Jiang Siyu will come looking for trouble again?" I always feel like people like that have their own set of theories, and whatever you say just feels like a scholar encountering a soldier.
"I guess...it won't happen, right?" He wasn't really sure. He had firmly rejected that person before, but he still stopped him from speaking whenever he had the chance.
"It's okay, we can just eat in the cafeteria less often in the future, and she can't just go to your place whenever she wants."
"Are you really sure? Bringing your own lunch is a hassle, and you have to get up early to cook." This topic is a bit risky, let's change the subject.
"What's the big deal? We'll cook anyway since we live here. But it's not very convenient to cook meat. We'll just cook more meat and vegetables there and sneak some out to eat when we're ready."
“Okay, I’ll work with you tonight. The two of us can work faster and make more at once, so we don’t have to do it every day.”
"Just like I thought, let's go to the cafeteria for a meal once in a while and show our faces."
"You've bought a house here, haven't you thought about bringing Grandpa Zhou and the others to live with you?" The old couple are on government-supplied food, so it doesn't matter if they don't live in the village anymore.
“Why didn’t you say that? I tried to persuade my grandparents when I first came here, but they were unwilling. They said that they had many people to keep them company in the village, and that they, the old couple, would feel lonely here.”
"Didn't you say you wanted to bring Grandma Qian to live with you?"
“I’m different from you. My grandparents won’t come to stay if they don’t have food provided. They’re afraid of being a burden to me, so they won’t come no matter what I say. I’ll wait until winter when they’re hibernating, and then I’ll bring my grandparents to stay for a while.”
When are you planning to visit your parents?
"Let's see when the holiday can be longer. This time the time to come back was too short. I haven't seen my parents and two younger brothers for two years."
"Will San Dan and Si Dan be going to junior high school soon?"
"Yes, I should be starting junior high in September. I don't know if my dad's junior high school is a long way away. My mom told me two years ago that the elementary school there was going to be converted into a junior high school. I don't know if it's going to happen or not."
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. You should go back and get some sleep so you won't be tired in the afternoon. If you need anything, just find me behind the woods. There's an office there; just tell them you're looking for me, and someone will contact me."
"Okay, don't worry, I can handle it myself. You should go back now."
"Don't rush off after get off work, wait for me so we can go home together."
"Okay, okay, you're so long-winded." Qian Xiao waved his hand with his back to Sun Kaicheng without turning his head.
Sun Kaicheng shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and left. It was just that this person was too unpredictable; he was always a little uneasy about him.
It seems like she made a big fuss about it; many people in the factory avoided her. However, Qian Xiao didn't really care. She was still quite resistant to meaningless interactions.
"A small amount of money."
Qian Xiao quickly walked out of his office: "Uncle Wu, what did you call me for?"
"Tomorrow you and your Uncle Zhang will go on a business trip to the textile factory in the city. They say there's a problem with their machines that they can't fix themselves, so they've come to ask for help."
"Oh, okay, but would they be willing to let me go?" In this day and age, craftsmen are more sought after as they get older, and people don't trust young people like her.
“Why wouldn’t you want to? You’re a proper college student, and besides, your Uncle Zhang is there to guide you. Just go confidently. If anyone looks down on you, come back and tell me, and we won’t help them anymore.”
"Hehe, not at all. I'm young, after all. Don't worry, I'll conquer them with my skills and not let them look down on me."
A rare smile appeared on Master Wu's serious face: "Yes, we'll conquer them with our skills. Xiao Qian's idea is good. He might not be back on the same day he goes to the city. Go to the logistics department and get the letter of introduction and the allowance later."
"Understood, Uncle Wu, I'll go right now."
Qian Xiao entered the next door: "Uncle Zhang, did I bring back our subsidies together?"
"Okay, that's perfect since I don't want to move anyway."
After Qian Xiao came over, she really didn't get any cold treatment. They were all middle-aged men with that much tolerance. Besides, Qian Xiao was a nice girl who wasn't annoying and had excellent skills. They treated her like their own relative's child.
"Then I'll be going now. Is there anything else you need? I'll pick it up on the way."
Master Zhang glanced at Master Wang and Master Li, and they both shook their heads: "That's all, you can go now."
Qian left happily, and Master Zhang shook his head: "He's still just a child, always cheerful and never has a worry in his life."
Master Li took a sip of water: "You said yourself that he's still just a child, so what worries could he have? Having another child will make things more lively for us."
