The fifth day of the New Year arrived quickly. Huo Yang was waiting at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning. Perhaps because he was in high spirits due to good news, Huo Yang was no longer as silent and reserved as usual. He smiled at everyone he saw, which made Xu Zhizhou and others feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, Du Jiang came out in time and rescued everyone.
"You're here. Have you eaten?" Du Jiang almost burst out laughing when he saw the man in a clean and tidy Zhongshan suit. Fortunately, he was good-looking, otherwise it would be difficult for him to pull off such a solemn outfit.
"Let's eat and go," Huo Yang nodded, said hello to Xu Zhizhou and the others, and then took Du Jiang out.
Xu Zhizhou and Guan Chuan stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching the two people leave. Guan Chuan's eyes flashed with a smile, and he was thinking about what gift he should give. Xu Zhizhou was still a little confused, "Is Du Jiang with Brother Huo?"
Guan Chuan smiled and put his hand around his neck, "I guess good things are coming soon. I just don't know if they will get married first or you and Sister Yingying. Brother Xu, our educated youth camp is a place of joy as soon as it opens this year."
Xu Zhizhou blushed at Guan Chuan's teasing and quickly broke free from his arm. "Well, school's about to start, so let's go clean up first."
Looking at Xu Zhizhou fleeing in panic, Guan Chuan and his group burst into laughter, but after the laughter, two of them made some sarcastic remarks.
Mao Aiguo: "These two are really lucky. Even if Du Jiang doesn't become a teacher, she can still marry a worker at the plastics factory."
Zuo Qingfeng: "Brother Xu knows a little bit. When did Du Jiang hook up with Brother Huo?"
When these words were spoken, not only Guan Chuan and his companions, but even Bai Yongjun glared at them.
Bai Yongjun was a simple-minded man and didn't say much, but Guan Chuan was not someone to be trifled with. Moreover, one of them was his brother. "Oh, Zuo Qingfeng, why do I smell something sour? Are you jealous? Your jealous face is really ugly."
"Who's jealous?" Zuo Qingfeng stiffened his neck and looked over. "Aren't you curious about when these two got together? But there's no news at all. I think they're just doing it secretly."
"Sister Jiang is doing this secretly right under your nose, and you're giving her a bad name for no reason. I think you're the one with the ugly heart." Looking at Zuo Qingfeng's jealous face, Guan Chuan's face turned serious. "Guan Liang, Guan Nian, beat him up."
As Guan Chuan spoke, two tall and thin men in the crowd rushed forward. Although they were thin, their fists were strong.
"Ah!" Zuo Qingfeng screamed as he was punched in the left eye.
Guan Chuan, who was furious, sneered and said to the others who hadn't reacted, "Everyone, this is a matter between us brothers. If you don't have anything to say, please go back to the house."
Looking at Zuo Qingfeng being beaten up by Guan Liang and Guan Nian, although Xu Zhizhou didn't like what he said, as the captain of the educated youth point, he could not accept internal strife.
Seeing this, Xu Zhizhou took a step forward, but was blocked by Guan Chuan. Guan Chuan had put away the nonchalant look on his face and looked very serious. "Brother Xu, I respect you, but this is not your place to participate today. Insulting people, especially a female comrade, you know what the consequences will be if those words get out. I don't need to tell you, right? Besides, Zuo Qingfeng has always been lazy and always cooks little food. We can tolerate him taking the spotlight from all of us. After all, it's not easy for everyone. But we can't get it wrong. Today it's Sister Jiang, tomorrow it might be someone else. Brother Xu, I don't need to tell you that one bad apple spoils the whole barrel."
Xu Zhizhou's expression also grew heavy because of Guan Chuan's words. Looking at Zuo Qingfeng who was still being beaten on the ground, he sighed, "It's up to you. I'm going to move out after the 15th anyway. Guan Chuan, since you want to be the head of this family, then take care of these people."
"I know." Hearing the deep meaning in Xu Zhizhou's words, Guan Chuan chuckled and resumed his nonchalant appearance. "Don't worry, they won't get into any trouble with me around."
At this time, the three people who were fighting had separated. Looking at Zuo Qingfeng, whose bruises on his face were only superficial injuries, Xu Zhizhou looked at Guan Chuan deeply, turned around and walked out.
This caught Zuo Qingfeng, who wanted to complain, off guard. As he glared at them, everyone in the yard looked at him unhappily. Zuo Qingfeng knew that he was at a disadvantage, so he could only suppress his resentment and lower his head.
Looking at the cowardly Zuo Qingfeng, Guan Chuan sneered, "You can be sneaky and take advantage of everyone in the food, but you shouldn't play with your reputation and hurt others. I, Guan Chuan, don't think I'm a good person, but at least I know what a man is and what I can and can't do."
"Bah," Guan Liang spat at Zuo Qingfeng, "You won't be able to take advantage of me in the future. From now on, A-Nian and I will be growing our food separately. If any of you want to work with him, go ahead and work with him. You don't have to count us as brothers."
"We will do it separately," Luo Yue also came out to express her opinion. After looking at the whole audience, she was extremely disgusted with Zuo Qingfeng at this moment. Gu Ruomei and Duan Yin's faces were also extremely ugly.
Seeing that no one was on his side, but instead supported Guan Chuan and the others who were beating people, Zuo Qingfeng's face turned pale and blue. He looked at everyone hatefully, then turned around and ran out.
The gate of the educated youth camp was in trouble today, but Guan Chuan waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Okay, we'll still cook together in the future. As for Zuo Qingfeng, I'm afraid he'll move out in a few days."
Although everyone was curious about Guan Chuan's strategic planning, they did not ask any further questions. They could only say that Zuo Qingfeng really disgusted everyone.
At this time, Du Jiang, who had arrived in town, also called Du's father. After only two rings, the other end answered, "It's Du Jiang, right?"
The steady and deep male voice, even across the phone line, could sense the other party's gentle warmth, "Dad, it's me."
"It's about marriage, Du Jiang. Huo Yang is your best choice. I don't think anyone else would be more suitable than him." Compared to Du Jiang's hesitation, Du's father was much more straightforward. "I'll ask your third uncle to bring the things to you. It's our family who has let you down, and I will compensate you."
“…” Such words made Du Jiang not know how to respond.
"Du Jiang, be good, follow your third uncle from now on...dududu...", this was the last sentence Du Jiang heard, and it was also one of the few communications between her and Du's father. After hanging up the phone, Du Jiang's face looked a little bad, as she felt that it was absurd that the other party was entrusting her with the care of her child, but she also felt that it was a little impossible. After all, Du's father and his men worked diligently and were very capable in dealing with people.
