Chapter 102 Why is this different from what he thought?
What was the man from Puxin trying to express by saying such things to her?
Zhou Anze had reason to be proud; his looks were among the best in the educated youth settlement, and he was quite handsome even before he was sent to the countryside from the city.
But after he went to the countryside, his face became useless, and the village women even gossiped behind his back, saying he was a pretty boy and looked down on him.
He disliked this feeling of being out of control, so he persisted in exercising and worked hard, and gradually the rural women changed their opinion of him.
Most of the women in the village had a crush on him.
He has a silver tongue and can make those women happy, especially the women's director of the brigade. She is a widow. If he can make her happy, he will have a chance to get a job and return to the city this year.
He went to the countryside relatively late, unlike the older educated youth who went there much earlier. In the past two years, he has watched those older educated youth return to the city one by one, and he feels very bitter about it.
He absolutely must get a permit to return to the city this year!
Even if it's just to please that widow.
Zhou Anze is quite confident in himself.
Who doesn't like to hear nice things? He could easily charm these women with just a few sweet words.
Ever since he discovered that he could do less work by simply making women happy, he has said countless sweet words, bewitching those women.
The educated youth at the settlement were considered better looking than the village women in this village.
Zhou Anze never expected that such a beautiful flower would appear in this village. He had never seen such a woman before.
Unfortunately, she turned out to be the daughter-in-law of the Shen family.
Shen Qianqian had mentioned before that she had an older brother who was serving in the military.
Soldiers are often separated from their families, and a woman who has been lonely for a long time is bound to have some thoughts.
He, on the other hand, showered her with concern and had no trouble winning over a woman.
However, he wasn't very familiar with the other person yet, so he couldn't be too eager to show off.
Moreover, this woman seemed very shy. When he said he was good-looking, she was so shy that she didn't even dare to look at him.
Back at the cowshed where the Shen family lived, Jiang Ning asked Zhou Anze to put his things down.
Zhou Anze put down the rice and flour on his shoulder, wiped his sweat, and tilted his head back slightly to find a good angle.
He remembered a fellow educated youth saying that one angle of his profile was particularly handsome, and that youth even drew a picture of him.
He just said he was good-looking, but Jiang Ning didn't hear a single word of praise for herself.
Since the other person is so shy, he'll guide them a few more times.
Jiang Ning glanced sideways and saw him twisting his head in an odd position. She slightly curved her lips into a smile. "You twisted your neck?"
?
Zhou Anze was stunned.
It took me a while to react.
This is not quite what he expected.
Zhou Anze remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Ning lowered her head and reached for the silver needle pouch she always carried. "If you really twisted it, I'll give you a couple of acupuncture needles."
Zhou Anze saw the silver needle pouch in her hand and was somewhat shocked. He suddenly turned his head and heard a 'snap' sound. This time, he had really twisted his head.
Jiang Ning also heard the sound of his bones cracking. She gently twirled a silver needle, its cold light dazzling.
Zhou Anze was startled. He couldn't just stick a needle in there; he didn't want to get hurt.
He looked at the silver needles in Jiang Ning's hand, his eyes filled with deep suspicion.
He knew that was an acupuncture technique used in traditional Chinese medicine, and that it was probably used by older, more experienced practitioners. But she was probably only in her early twenties. Could she even do it correctly?
Jiang Ning leaned forward and asked, "Let me see where to insert the needle? The acupoint on my neck seems a bit hard to find."
Zhou Anze: !!!
This is the kind of question only a beginner would ask.
It seems his suspicions were correct.
Zhou Anze, clutching his twisted neck, immediately took a few steps back. "Comrade, my neck is fine. I have things to do at the educated youth settlement, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left without looking back. Although he didn't run, his pace quickened.
"Tsk—" Jiang Ning scoffed lightly.
"mock up."
She had read countless books in her previous life, and was later harassed by Feng Chuan in the family compound. When this ordinary man showed off in front of her, he had such a peacock-like gaze, as if she hadn't seen it.
She had just arrived today and genuinely didn't know the location of the village's supply and marketing cooperative. Why not accept someone's offer to show her the way?
It's just a bit noisy.
He is also naive and has a strong belief in others.

County hospital.
The team leader was helping the old man, who had finished his IV drip, out of bed when a nurse in a white coat came in carrying injection medication and went straight to the bed next to theirs.
An elderly man was lying in the next bed. The nurse drew the medicine from the vial with a needle, and just as she was about to give the injection, the old man suddenly slumped over.
The syringe fell to the ground and got dirty.
The nurse seemed to have encountered this situation before. She bent down to pick up the syringe from the ground and put it in the medicine tray. As she turned to leave, she seemed unable to resist saying something.
She turned her head to look at the elderly man lying on the bed, who was paralyzed on one side, and sighed, saying, "Sir, your paralysis is caused by a stroke. You can't keep avoiding medical treatment like this."
The old man snorted, "I've been trying to treat him for a year and it's been no use. I'd rather die than have him lying here like this."
Upon hearing that the old man was paralyzed in bed due to a stroke, the brigade leader and his father, whom he was supporting, were both shocked.
It's one thing for someone to say it, but nothing is as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.
This really scared them.
When the father and son went to pick up their medicine, the doctor told them to remember to come back to the hospital for a follow-up examination after a while.
On their way back to the village, the two happened to see freshly slaughtered pork for sale in the county town. They remembered the life-saving kindness and thought they would buy some fresh pork to go to the cowshed to thank the woman who had saved them with silver needles that day.
—
Jiang Ning carried all the things she bought into the house.
Although the cowshed was cleaned quite well, there was still a lingering odor.
Jiang Ning couldn't quite accept it, so she went outside the cowshed, found a large rock with a view of the countryside, sat down, and began to read the medical books that Old Master Huang had given her.
The afternoon passed by in the blink of an eye.
"Comrade Jiang."
A male voice came from behind her, and Jiang Ning subconsciously turned around.
The captain looked at her with a smile on his face, with his father standing beside him.
The father and son came specifically to thank Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning jumped off the rock.
Seeing Jiang Ning come down, the brigade leader and the old man immediately went over. The brigade leader handed her a large piece of meat and a basket of vegetables he was carrying, saying, "Comrade Jiang, this is meat we specially bought on our way back from the county town. You must accept it!"
“If it weren’t for you, my dad would probably be in grave danger this time! This is a small token of our appreciation, and we would feel guilty if you didn’t accept it.”
The captain spoke sincerely, befitting his position, and his words gave Jiang Ning no chance to refuse.
