When Chen Xiaozhen left, she did not walk lightly like Du Jiang and the others. Moreover, because her companions did not ask her to leave without permission, she made a lot of noise, which alarmed Du Yingying and the others on the riverbank.
What's more, the place Du Jiang chose at the beginning was not far from the riverbank, so when Chen Xiaozhen stood up, Xu Zhizhou recognized her.
Xu Zhizhou looked at Chen Xiaozhen who left angrily, and then looked at the exceptionally bright moonlight in the sky. He felt a little depressed, because the joy he had felt talking to Du Yingying was gone. Although he didn't know Chen Xiaozhen well, Chen Xiaozhen's recent seemingly false provocations made him want to stay away from this female comrade, but he encountered this kind of thing before he could do anything about it.
Perhaps it was because the depression on Xu Zhizhou's face was too obvious that Du Yingying couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that person?"
Well, Xu Zhizhou was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should talk about the matters at the educated youth point, not to mention the small conflicts with the female comrades. He was not a person who liked to gossip about other people, so he could not answer Du Yingying's question for a while.
Although Xu Zhizhou was somewhat evasive, Li Hongjun was clearly not. He immediately went over to the silent Xu Zhizhou and recounted the events at the educated youth camp. Finally, he concluded, "That's it. I think this Chen Xiaozhen is a bit of a germaphobe, but not too much. She herself isn't particularly clean, but she won't tolerate others being unclean. Or maybe I think she wants to confirm her position as the leader of the educated youth camp, just like Brother Huo, who convinces everyone and then assigns them work, so she can get rid of chores like cooking."
Although his words were rough, one has to say that Li Hongjun really hit the point. That's right, the reason why Chen Xiaozhen instigated Qian Meili to create a rift between the others and Du Jiang was for this. It's just that Du Jiang did not act timidly as she expected, giving her the opportunity to come forward to comfort her. However, the direction of things was far different from what she had imagined.
After hearing what Li Hongjun said, not only Du Yingying, but even Tianniu was speechless. Unlike Du Yingying, who was highly educated and didn't like to judge this matter, she was fearless. "There are only three female comrades in your educated youth camp, and you're forming cliques. Is this fun?"
Li Hongjun shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know. Maybe Chen Xiaozhen is spoiled at home, so she expects the same outside."
"Okay, but Du Jiang's temper isn't the best, so let's just break up." The sweet girl curled her lips indifferently, "Sister Yingying, it's getting late, let's go back."
"Okay, let's go back," Du Yingying looked at the sky and nodded.
Because they were on the same route back and they were all neighbors, the four of them walked together. After they arrived, Du Yingying worriedly warned Xu Zhizhou, "Comrade Xu, I hope that no bad words about Tianniu and me will spread among the educated youths. Otherwise, if my mother and Aunt Du come to sue me, I won't help."
“I won’t help either.”
Faced with such strong words from Du Yingying and Tianniu, Xu Zhizhou and Li Hongjun smiled bitterly, but they also knew their concerns and immediately nodded in agreement.
Li Hongjun even leaned closer to the sweet girl and expressed his affection, "Don't worry, even if you don't mention this matter, I will tell her. After all, a girl's reputation is more important, and she won't tolerate others talking nonsense."
With Li Hongjun's words, Tianniu turned around and went home with peace of mind. As for Du Yingying, she looked at Xu Zhizhou expectantly. Unfortunately, Xu Zhizhou was different from Li Hongjun, who was determined to marry into the family. He only had a faint favorable impression of Du Yingying. When he received her gaze, he just said lightly, "I will talk to her."
Okay, Du Yingying, who met Xu Zhizhou for the first time, knew that she would not get any other guarantees or special treatment from him. She was not discouraged at the moment, but was a little disappointed when comparing Li Hongjun's performance. She said, "See you tomorrow," and left without looking back.
Only Li Hongjun and Xu Zhizhou were left standing at the door. After looking at each other for a while, Xu Zhizhou was the first to step into the yard.
The door to the main house was not closed, and the dim light from the kerosene lamp spread to the threshold of the door.
Looking at the halo, Xu Zhizhou knew that the people in the room were probably sitting in the main room at this moment. Thinking of Chen Xiaozhen's figure just now, what was there to understand? He was afraid that not only Chen Xiaozhen, but other people had gone there as well. After all, Du Jiang said that he did not avoid anyone when they met.
As soon as he entered the room and saw the people sitting in rows, Xu Zhizhou thought to himself, as expected, but he looked at Huo Yang curiously. You know, this person hates this kind of gossip the most, so why did he get involved today?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhizhou couldn't help but ask, "Huo Yang, how did you get involved?"
"Du Jiang was worried about you, so I followed her."
Xu Zhizhou suddenly realized and looked at Du Jiang at the end. Feeling Xu Zhizhou's gaze, Du Jiang grinned awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Brother Xu, I'm just the messenger. I'm worried about you meeting so late at night. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, we were just talking about high school textbooks. Du Yingying just graduated, and I heard from her that the village is planning to build a primary school." Xu Zhizhou did not hesitate to tell everyone present the news he got from Du Yingying.
Seeing the expressions of some people change because of his words, Xu Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief. "Now I guess no one will be watching their meeting anymore."
Unfortunately, there is always someone who doesn't play by the rules.
"Really? She's here to give you the position of teacher, right?" Chen Xiaozhen's voice sounded a little sharp and harsh in the dim room.
At the same time, Xu Zhizhou frowned unhappily, "So, are you saying that I'm secretly communicating with the other party?"
