The next morning, Du Jiang had just opened the door to go to work when he was blocked by Du Yingying at the door. Looking at Du Yingying's figure, and then looking at Xu Zhizhou who walked past him without looking away, Du Jiang had a feeling that the other party was not coming for him, especially after Xu Zhizhou walked away, Du Yingying's eyes gradually turned red and were filled with resentment. Uh, Du Jiang felt a little overwhelmed.
While the other party was still staring at Xu Zhizhou's back, Du Jiang moved to the side and wanted to walk over. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, Du Yingying looked over. Du Jiang paused, raised her hand awkwardly and greeted, "Sister Yingying, good morning."
"Aren't you going to work? I'll accompany you."
Ah, Du Jiang looked at Du Yingying, then looked at Yu Chunxiao who was standing at the door of the pig house and waving at him. In the end, the decision not to ask for leave or change shifts overcame everything.
So when Du Jiang and Yu Chunxiao went up the mountain, Du Yingying was following them.
Du Yingying didn't say a word along the way, and just quietly followed Du Jiang and Yu Chunxiao. As a carefree tomboy, Yu Chunxiao kept his distance from Du Yingying, a girl who looked spoiled and delicate. Even though the other party was the village chief's daughter, Yu Chunxiao had no intention of getting close to her. So after arriving at the mountain, Yu Chunxiao decisively abandoned Du Jiang and changed his position.
"Well, there's not much pig grass left in this area. Du Jiang, you stay here. I'll look for it somewhere else. I have to go back to prepare the big pot meal soon." After saying that, Yu Chunxiao's figure decisively disappeared from Du Jiang's sight.
Okay, looking at that back figure that looked like being chased by a dog, Du Jiang turned back to look at Du Yingying, and tried to squeeze out a smile, "Sister Yingying, what are you looking for me about? I heard Sister Qian and Chunxiao say yesterday that you never came."
"Then why don't you come to my house to find me?" Du Yingying regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Du Jiang, I was inconsiderate. I just thought they would help pass on the message for me. If you didn't see me, you would definitely come to my house to find me. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Sister Yingying. It's getting late and it's not convenient for a girl like me to go out," Du Jiang explained with a wry smile, feeling a little tired.
"Oh, that's right," Du Yingying believed it. After all, her mother taught her not to go out at night. "My mom said the same thing. Du Jiang, I had a fight with Big Brother Xu. It wasn't really a fight. It was my mom who unilaterally approached Big Brother Xu. Du Jiang, can you help me ask Big Brother Xu out? He ignored me when I approached him. Besides, it's not convenient for me to go to the educated youth site right now. I'll have a chance in the morning when my mom goes to town."
"Me? Didn't you see Brother Xu this morning? Why didn't you just call him?" Du Jiang was a little confused. Why did these two people go around in such a big circle when they were obviously supposed to meet in the morning?
"You don't understand, Du Jiang. Just do me a favor and ask him to meet you at the riverbank at noon." Du Yingying's voice was usually very sweet, but now it was filled with sadness. Du Jiang couldn't say no and could only nod and agree. "Okay, I'll pass on a message for you, but Sister Yingying, I can't guarantee whether Brother Xu will go or not."
"I know, Du Jiang, I'm really troublesome to you. I was ignorant before and insisted on giving you the name of a matchmaker. My mother has already talked to me about it." Du Yingying smiled shyly, with the demeanor of a lady. If it weren't for the clothes she was wearing, Du Jiang would have felt dazed. The young lady from the prime minister's mansion in the study in the attic also smiled so gently, so gently that she couldn't say a word of refusal.
However, Du Jiang quickly recovered and continued to bend down to pick up the dead branches and leaves on the ground. "Sister Yingying, you are too polite. By the way, when will your elementary school exams be held? I see that the school has been built."
"It's going to be held in two days, just in time for winter vacation. I can go straight to class tomorrow," Du Yingying said. She didn't hold back when she started talking about the elementary school teachers. "I don't know what Brother Xu is thinking. He said he doesn't want to sign up anymore and wants to give the opportunity to Bai Yongjun and that guy named Guan Chuan."
"Make way. Can't everyone sign up this time?" Du Jiang scratched his head. Could it be that there was something he didn't know? This shouldn't be the case. There hasn't been any gossip about the educated youths recently.
Hearing Du Jiang's question, Du Yingying knew that this person had been busy with the pigsty recently and had not paid the slightest attention to school. "Yes, everyone can take the exam, but I don't know what Guan Chuan said. Brother Xu won't participate, saying that he wants to give the opportunity to the young people. But he didn't think about it. How could my mother be willing if he continued to dig for food in the fields? Not to mention that my mother has always complained about his family being far away. After all, my brother is out of town and rarely comes back. I am my parents' only child now. Isn't this just asking my mother to pick a fight?"
"That's true. I heard Brother Huo mention this when we were chatting before. Brother Xu has very good grades in school. He is always the first in the grade. If he takes the teacher examination, he will definitely be among the top. Not to mention that Brother Xu has not given up reading and studying after coming here. But have you discussed this with Brother Xu?"
In response to Du Jiang's question, Du Yingying shook her head. "I tried to explain to my mother on his behalf, but then I don't know how he talked to my mother, and she wasn't happy. I asked him, and he said he was telling the truth."
"Well, if my aunt doesn't agree, I'm afraid this won't be easy to handle," Du Jiang said tentatively. As expected, the worry on Du Yingying's face grew even more intense as she finished her words. "Who said it wasn't true? That person just doesn't make sense. He insists that if I pass the exam, it proves that I have nepotism. Tell me, how can that be justified? How can something I get through my own ability be considered nepotism?"
"That's really difficult to deal with." After summarizing all the conversations, Du Jiang finally understood the whole story. For a moment, he didn't know whether to say that Guan Chuan's provocative words were useful, or that Xu Zhizhou's machismo could not stand what others said.
"Yes, but I won't marry anyone but Big Brother Xu. Du Jiang, you have to help me. Tianniu is with Li Hongjun every day now and can't take care of me." She said disdain but the envy on her face was genuine. She was also a good sister with a smooth relationship, but she had a rough life. She knew each other at the same time, but now the good sisters have obtained the marriage certificate and held the wedding, and she is still arguing here. Thinking of this, Du Yingying felt a little depressed and wilted immediately. "Du Jiang, do you think I should listen to my mother? After all, the old lady has eaten more salt and walked more roads than us. Maybe Big Brother Xu and I are really not destined to be together."
