Set up the chessboard.
Jiang Lin placed his hands on his knees, and his sitting posture with a broadsword and golden horse was quite imposing.
It's easy to tell from Su Yuhe's accent that she's not a local, and there's nothing to hide about that.
However, since this concerned Su Yuhe's safety, Jiang Lin didn't give a direct answer. He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Xu Xingguo: "Yes, she is an educated youth who came to work in the countryside. If Mr. Xu wants to know, he can ask her directly. If she doesn't say, it means she has her own considerations."
Xu Xingguo has been in officialdom for more than ten years, and most of the people he met were smooth-talking people who spoke as beautifully as possible.
This is the first time someone like Jiang Lin is so direct.
His expression looked a little strange, and when he heard Xu Caihong urging Jiang Lin to move, he smiled awkwardly.
Jiang Lin moved a piece, looked at the chessboard, and said, "As long as Yuhe can cure Xiaoxu, other information is not important."
Xu Caihong nodded: "Yes, it's not important. Xiao Jiang, this is the wrong way. Wait a minute, I'll try again."
Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows: "Old man, are you going to regret your move..."
Xu Xingguo said: "My father's chess character is like that. If he catches you playing chess, you will be in trouble."
After playing two games in a row, Jiang Lin began to doubt his life. Xu Caihong made three moves and regretted two, making him the worst chess player.
Xu Caihong was in great pain. This young man had a good temper and was just about to pull Jiang Lin to play the third round when Ji Shanfang came down.
Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up, and couldn't wait to avoid Xu Caihong's clutches.
Xu Xingguo didn't see Xiaoxu, so he asked Ji Shanfang, "Where's our son?"
Ji Shanfang: "I fell asleep right after the acupuncture."
Xu Xingguo frowned, and Su Yuhe explained, "This acupuncture session took a long time, so it's not surprising that the child fell asleep while trying. I checked, and there's nothing wrong. The medicine has been divided, too. It's probably been prescribed for a month."
Xu Xingguo: "One month? That long?"
Su Yuhe smiled and said, "Yes, the commune is on holiday. I went home for the New Year. After the New Year, I returned to the commune and there was a lot of work to do. It will take about a month for me to come back."
Ji Shanfang must have known it long ago. After hearing this, she just had a complicated expression and didn't say anything.
"But don't worry, I'll try to come as soon as possible." Su Yuhe smiled, "Nothing, Brother Lin and I will go back first."
Ji Shanfang said: "Stay and have dinner."
Su Yuhe declined politely: "Brother Lin and I are planning to go to the grocery store here to buy some New Year's goods. Oh, by the way, I want to wish you all a happy New Year."
Ji Shanfang took out another hundred yuan, but Su Yuhe refused to take it. "Didn't I tell you? The consultation fee hasn't been used up yet. If you need anything, I'll ask you."
"Look at my memory." Ji Shanfang felt a little embarrassed and turned away in a hurry. When she came back, she was holding a bag of apples in her hand. "You can't refuse this. A few apples are not worth much. Take them back and eat them."
A bag of apples is indeed worthless to the Xu family, and it is not that expensive to Su Yuhe either, as her family background is there.
This bag of apples alone probably weighs seven or eight kilograms. For ordinary people, eating apples is a luxury.
This was an era when people couldn’t even get enough to eat.
Su Yuhe accepted it and left the Xu family. Jiang Lin took it and said, "I'll take it."
Su Yuhe's statement that she wanted to go shopping for groceries or something was not an excuse. She and Jiang Lin carried bags of apples to the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon and there are a lot of people here.
Su Yuhe originally wanted to buy some more osmanthus cake, which the girls in the family all loved to eat, but the line was too long, and she couldn't buy anything else, let alone osmanthus cake.
Su Yuhe looked around and only bought some things that could not be bought at the supply and marketing cooperative in the county.
Su Yuhe hadn't planned to buy a lot, but after walking around, she ended up with quite a few bags, big and small.
She was a little annoyed: "I didn't think much of it when I bought it, but now I see there are so many. This malted milk and this... you can buy them in the county town."
Jiang Lin: "They're no longer available. They've been in short supply for a while now. People have been holding back for a year, and now they're finally willing to spend the money to buy them at the end of the year."
Su Yuhe nodded, and while no one was paying attention, she pulled Jiang Lin's clothes: "Let's go eat, I'm hungry."
The two went to the state-owned restaurant they had visited last time and ate two bowls of noodles before taking the bus back.
Everyone in the car was carrying large and small bags, so it didn't look out of place for Jiang Lin to be carrying things.
Su Yuhe walked in front and went straight to the third row from the back and sat down.
She likes to sit in this position because people getting on and off the bus walking around won’t bother her too much.
Su Yuhe yawned after placing the things she had bought at her feet. Jiang Lin lowered his head and whispered, "You're sleepy, take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
Su Yuhe nodded.
The car had already started moving, and except for some people talking very loudly, there was basically no one walking around.
Jiang Lin was tall, and Su Yuhe couldn't see the people sitting next to her in the same row when she turned her head. She guessed that they couldn't see Su Yuhe either.
Su Yuhe sat there, like a small space.
She was a little sleepy, but didn't want to sleep yet. Seeing Jiang Lin staring at the front with a silly look on his face, she couldn't help but have other thoughts.
Half a minute later, Jiang Lin grabbed Su Yuhe's disruptive hand and lowered his voice: "What are you doing?"
Su Yuhe blinked: "My hands are cold, can't I put them in your clothes to warm them up?"
Jiang Lin bit the soft flesh inside his cheek. This girl is really something. Is she keeping it warm inside her clothes?
The cold jade hand touched his stomach directly. Even if it was to warm the hand, Jiang Lin could still bear it, but she was not restless at all. She pinched the muscles on his abdomen from time to time, which he endured.
But she gradually went down...
"Stop it." After choking for a long time, Jiang Lin could only squeeze out these two words.
Su Yuhe chuckled softly: "I'm just teasing you. I know what kind of occasion this is. You don't think I want to touch you--"
Jiang Lin suddenly covered Su Yuhe's hand. The usually calm man's face was a little broken: "Please spare me."
He quickly glanced around and found that no one was looking at him. He sighed helplessly, took the gloves from Su Yuhe's legs, and put them on Su Yuhe: "Don't take them off again. You'll be cold."
Outside the window, a blanket of white snow and tiny stars sprouted from the dead branches. Su Yuhe asked Jiang Lin, "I'm going home tomorrow. Brother Lin, have you ever been to the capital?"
"No."
"So do you want to go?"
I had never thought about it before, but since Su Yuhe was in the capital, Jiang Lin answered firmly, "I want to go."
Su Yuhe rarely talked about these things with him. Now that it came to this, Su Yuhe couldn't help but say to him, "Brother Lin, the college entrance examination will be resumed in the future. Do you believe it?"
As the son of a landlord, Jiang Lin started studying earlier than other children.
After he was a teenager, the Jiang family fell into decline and he had no chance to go to school.
It didn’t matter to him before, after all, he was not a reader.
Now that he met Su Yuhe, an educated youth from the city, Jiang Lin regretted for the first time that he had not studied hard.
Hearing Su Yuhe's certain tone, could it be that Su Zeming knew some inside information and told Su Yuhe?
Jiang Lin felt a little complicated. If the college entrance examination was resumed, Su Yuhe would definitely take part, right?
