Watching the two exchange glances, Song Pandi was consumed with jealousy. Huo Junshan must be blind, completely infatuated with Yun Ningyan.
She turned to look at Yun Ningyan but was dazzled by the watch on her wrist; she remembered that Yun Ningyan wore a Plum Blossom brand watch.
She came back yesterday wearing this watch. That bitch is really lucky. Huo Junshan sends her meat and food every day, and now he's even sending her watches?
She turned to look at Huo Junshan again and saw that he was wearing Yun Ningyan's watch on his wrist, confirming her suspicions.
It really was Huo Junshan who bought it for her!
She lowered her head, a malicious smile curling at the corner of her lips. Inwardly, she sneered, "Yun Ningyan, tomorrow I'll ruin your reputation! Tomorrow I'll make Huo Junshan see you sleeping with Ma Lao Er!"
Just wait and see if Huo Junshan still wants you!
Huo Junshan's face immediately turned cold, and he worked harder, throwing dirt all over Huo Jiandang.
Huo Jiandang thought the third brother was jealous of him, so he chuckled and said, "Third brother, your jealousy is useless. This was built for me by my parents, and I got married before you. When you get married..."
"Shut up!"
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Junshan stopped him with a cold shout.
Huo Junshan was very annoyed. Why was there always someone trying to scheme against the young girl? It seemed that he still had to marry her as soon as possible.
Seeing that the third brother was clearly in a bad mood, Huo Jiandang didn't dare to show off anymore and picked up the shovel to work obediently.
Huo Jianshe immediately spotted Yun Ningyan standing at the door. Had the two of them had a fight?
Why else would Third Brother be in a bad mood?
The clay was ready, and Huo Junshan picked up a wooden mold and made long bricks one by one, much like making coal briquettes.
The others gently carried the finished bricks to the drying area to dry. Once they were dry and shaped, they could begin building the house.
Huo Changgen looked up at the sky; it should be about two days.
As noon approached, the onlookers all went home to cook, and Yun Ningyan and Lin Mengmeng also returned to the educated youth settlement together.
Yun Ningyan figured Huo Junshan would be working at home and wouldn't come over for lunch, so she simply cooked some noodles and poached an egg in the pot outside and that was her lunch.
The two had just finished lunch when they saw Zhang Hongmei, Yu Lili, Yang Laidi, and several other former educated youths carrying baskets, preparing to go up the mountain.
Yun Ningyan asked, "Sister Hongmei, where are you going?"
Because Zhang Hongmei was the oldest among the female educated youth, everyone called her "sister." She smiled and said, "It just rained, the mushrooms should be coming out. Let's go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms. If you're coming, you can come along."
Yun Ningyan was overjoyed. She had long heard that the hazel mushrooms here were the best, and she had never eaten them in her previous life. It would be perfect to go with them.
After grabbing his basket, Liu Zhijun and Lin Mengmeng set off together behind the old educated youth. Liu Zhijun had originally planned to take a nap, but when he heard Hu Haiquan say that Yun, an educated youth, and several female educated youths had gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms, he jumped up, grabbed his basket, and left.
Hu Haiquan shook his head. "If I'd known, I wouldn't have told you. You still haven't given up?"
Liu Zhijun: "Let's go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and then stew them with meat."
Liu Zhijun and Hu Haiquan hadn't left yet, but Zhang Qiang had already followed Lin Mengmeng up the mountain.
Once the group reached the mountain, Zhang Hongmei enthusiastically taught the two how to distinguish hazel mushrooms from other mushrooms, as well as other mushrooms that should not be eaten.
Yun Ningyan and Lin Mengmeng quickly learned how to do it, and Zhang Hongmei told them, "You must not go too deep into the mountains. There are wild boars, bears, and wolves in the mountains."
The group then dispersed, with Yun Ningyan and Lin Mengmeng together, and Zhang Qiang, Liu Zhijun, Hu Haiquan, and several other men following behind them.
Lin Mengmeng said speechlessly, "Are these men scared? Why are they following us?"
Yun Ningyan found it somewhat amusing. How could she be so slow to react to emotions? Zhang Qiang had made it so obvious, yet she showed no reaction at all. It seemed that Zhang Qiang still had a long way to go.
There were many mushrooms on the mountain after the rain, including hazel mushrooms and other edible mushrooms. Yun Ningyan didn't pick many, as the place they found had relatively few mushrooms, and it took them a long time to pick half a basket.
Zhang Hongmei and several other former educated youths were standing not far in front of them.
Liu Zhijun also picked quite a few. He walked up to Yun Ningyan and asked cautiously, "Yun, I'll give you all these mushrooms. I don't know how to cook, it's such a waste."
Yang Laidi happened to see this scene. Her face was not very good. Liu Zhijun had never looked at her properly. So why did Yun Ningyan win Liu Zhijun's favor?
Moreover, she seemed to ignore Liu Zhijun.
They were all sent-down youth, yet their fates were so different!
Yun Ningyan frowned. "No need, I have some here, you can take it back!"
Seeing that Liu Zhijun's expression was not good, Hu Haiquan quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Zhijun, there are still many here, come and take a look, come and help me."
Yang Laidi clearly saw the fleeting sadness in Liu Zhijun's eyes. He dejectedly carried his basket back to find Hu Haiquan.
Hu Haiquan advised, "You're just asking for trouble. They don't even appreciate your kindness, so why bother?"
"If you ask me, those two girls at the educated youth settlement like you, you should just talk to one of them."
"You can't handle a personality like hers."
Liu Zhijun glared at him. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just a little resentful. Am I not even as good as a peasant?"
Hu Haiquan shook his head and said nothing more.
After finishing his work, Huo Junshan went to the educated youth settlement, but there was no one there. He turned around and headed up the mountain.
From afar, Liu Zhijun was seen harassing his young girl. He walked up the mountain with a cold expression and soon arrived at the place where they were picking mushrooms.
He patted Big Black's head, said something, and then went into the mountains.
Big Black ran towards Liu Zhijun's location, baring its teeth and barking at him, scaring Liu Zhijun into retreating a great distance. Big Black then lunged and bit his pants, dragging him down the mountain.
Liu Zhijun screamed in terror, "Old Hu, Old Hu, get this dog away! It's going to bite me!"
The big black dog wouldn't let go, its front paws pawing at Liu Zhijun's pants. No one else dared to approach easily; the dog looked too fierce!
With a snap, Liu Zhijun's pants ripped open, hanging precariously down to his buttocks, revealing most of his fair and tender bottom. Yun Ningyan found it too much to bear and shouted, "Big Black, come here!"
Upon hearing the woman's call, Dahei ran over without a word and obediently sat down beside her, wagging its tail.
Where was the fierce look from before?
Liu Zhijun pulled up his pants, his face flushed red with embarrassment.
Several older women laughed loudly and started discussing it.
"Did you see that? Liu Zhiqing's buttocks are so white! How come they're like a young girl's?"
"Even young women aren't as fair-skinned as him! It makes my heart itch; I want to go up and touch him."
"So white and tender, it looks so tempting..."
"You're really shameless. What's wrong? Your man can't satisfy you, so you're now lusting after Liu Zhiqing? With your old face, there's nothing to see even if you take your pants off."
"Hehe, so fair and tender, who wouldn't like it? Don't you like it?"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
