Uh, Bai Yongjun turned his head to look at Guan Chuan who was approaching, then looked at Du Jiang's door, and suddenly reached out to push Guan Chuan open, "You, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't think too much. I'm just curious. I don't have any feelings for Du Jiang at all. Really, don't talk nonsense."
The hurried look of explaining made Guan Chuan sigh, "Okay, okay, I'm not talking nonsense. You don't like Sister Jiang at all. I believe you." If the tone was more sincere, Bai Yongjun would probably believe it.
Looking at Guan Chuan's carefree and scoundrel look, Bai Yongjun almost cried, "Brother, I told you to call me brother, can you please stop talking nonsense? Sister Jiang is the one I can get close to, but I'm broke and can't give her a good life. Can you please stop talking and spare me? I was counting on this Brother Huo to find out about the job openings in town."
Guan Chuan laughed out loud at the sight of the eight-foot-tall man wanting to cry but unable to, and he slapped Bai Yongjun's arm a few times with force, "Brother Bai, this is the first time I know you're so funny. It's just a joke, why are you so nervous?"
It was a cold winter day, but Bai Yongjun suddenly had a few drops of sweat on his head. He reached out and wiped it, saying guiltily, "Who's nervous? I just don't want you to ruin the reputation of female comrades. Okay, it's getting late. I'll go back to my room to get something. We'll go to the backyard to eat later." In order to prevent Guan Chuan from saying anything shocking, Bai Yongjun quickly pulled Yu Chunxiao's family out, "Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu are here for the first time. It's better not to be late for the dinner tonight."
Hearing this, Guan Chuan chuckled, but did not continue teasing. Instead, he withdrew his hand from Bai Yongjun and said, "Alright, listen to Brother Bai. I'll go back to my room to get some food. I can't eat the Yu family's food for free."
"Yes, I just want to find justice." As soon as he was free, Bai Yongjun ran into the house impatiently. He looked as if there was a wolf chasing him, which made Guan Chuan laugh behind him.
On the other side, Du Jiang was listening to the two people's quarrel in the house. He rolled his eyes in annoyance and then began to take out the money from his pocket. For the first time, Du Jiang felt that it was wise to make his trouser pockets so big, otherwise he really couldn't fit so much money.
One, two... a full one hundred, plus the existing savings, Du Jiang was stunned by the amount. It turned out that she was so rich. She stuffed all the money into the iron box. Du Jiang then picked up the envelope at the bottom, which contained a withdrawal slip and a letter sent by the Du family at the end of last month. Looking at the words on it, Du Jiang counted on his fingers and thought that the bags of dried goods and chestnuts might have arrived by now. Thinking of this, Du Jiang put the letter back into the iron box and put it back on the shelf.
"Today is a good day..." Du Jiang hummed a song as he stood up and made the bed. Then he walked to the wall, squatted down, picked a few handfuls of fresh leeks and dug a few potatoes before getting up and walking out.
When Du Jiang rushed to the backyard, the small space was already completely blocked. Du Jiang glanced at the corner of his mouth and quickly called Yu Chunxiao, who was walking through the house, over.
Hearing Du Jiang's voice, Yu Chunxiao was very happy, "Sister Jiang, why did you come just now? I thought you were not coming."
Du Jiang smiled and handed the vegetables in his hand to Yu Chunxiao. "I just picked some vegetables from the house and brought them here. Take them and add some more. By the way, do you have enough bowls and chopsticks in this house? If not, bring some from the main house in the front yard first."
"No," Yu Chunxiaolin quickly waved her hand to refuse. "No, my place is not big, and the straw curtain in the middle is inconvenient. I thought about bringing it to the main house to eat after it's cooked. Sister Jiang, I'll call you directly later. We can just go to the main house."
Hearing this, Du Jiang nodded and looked at the crowded yard again. "It's okay for you to live alone. If there are more people, I guess we'll have to expand the house. But fortunately, your parents will go back after the New Year, so we don't have to bother."
"Who said we were going back?" Luo Yue came out of the house and happened to overhear the conversation between Du Jiang and Yu Chunxiao, so she interrupted, "Sister Jiang, you might not know this, but Uncle Yu is the newly appointed principal of our elementary school. After the registration is over tomorrow, the teacher selection will begin the day after tomorrow."
"What?" Du Jiang was shocked by the sudden news and was unable to react. He looked at Yu Chunxiao in disbelief, but saw Yu Chunxiao nodding.
Looking at the people in the yard again, Du Jiang finally understood why these people were blocking the way here without doing anything. He suddenly didn't know what to say. Looking at Guan Chuan, who was leading the group, Du Jiang couldn't help but twitch his eyes and looked at Yu Chunxiao sympathetically, "Are you okay?"
These words made Yu Chunxiao laugh and cry. "Sister Jiang, wait for me a moment." After saying that, she turned around and ran into the house without caring about Du Jiang's reaction. When she came back, she had nothing in her hands, but there were three more girls behind her.
"Sister Jiang, why don't we go sit at your place first?" Yu Chunxiao rubbed her head with a headache, obviously disturbed by the commotion in the yard. Looking at the faces of Duan Yin and the others behind her, what else could Du Jiang say? She nodded immediately and said, "Let's go to my place first. My honeysuckle flowers are almost done drying. I'll make some water for you to drink."
When they returned to the house, Du Jiang used a wooden cup to make a cup of honeysuckle water for each of them. "Try it, it clears away heat and detoxifies. Although it's a little cold, it tastes good."
Yu Chunxiao took a sip first, then stuck out his tongue and said, "Boiled water still tastes better."
The others also nodded in agreement.
Du Jiang was speechless about this group of people who didn't know the value of the water. "Okay, I shouldn't have made tea for you. I only saved up a little bit in the whole summer." Although he said it with disgust, he still changed the water for a few people.
Only after sitting down again did Du Jiang ask whether what Luo Yue had just said was true or false.
Yu Chunxiao sighed upon hearing this. "It's true. I just found out too. Sister Jiang, you know what? When my dad said that just now, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest. It was buzzing so loudly that it gave me a headache."
Yu Chunyue, who was standing by, covered her mouth and chuckled softly. "My parents didn't tell my sister because they were afraid she couldn't control her mouth. They wanted to give her a surprise, but I didn't expect people here to be so excited."
Du Jiang, Luo Yue, Gu Ruomei and Duan Yin looked at each other and then looked at Yu Chunyue, who had been silent since she appeared but changed her style at this moment.
Yu Chunyue seemed oblivious to the stares, then continued, "But this means Sister won't be able to take part in the selection exam. What a shame."
Uh, are they real sisters? Du Jiang couldn't help but wonder. Not only Du Jiang, but Luo Yue and the others also felt that Yu Chunyue's words seemed unpleasant.
Unexpectedly, Yu Chunxiao didn't care about it at all. Instead, she raised her head and drank the water in the cup generously. "Well, sister, I think you will participate. Then I congratulate you in advance for winning the championship."
