Chapter 15: Passers-by in the Seventies 7
If there were other people around Ke Xiaoxia, Zhu Minghua would only take the peanuts and melon seeds, share them with others, and chat with everyone.
If it was just Ke Xiaoxia alone, then she would take out all kinds of food, just like now.
Zhu Minghua has a very good reputation in the brigade because of his generosity.
Even though he was quite warm to Ke Xiaoxia, there were no rumors circulating.
And Ke Xiaoxia had to admit that she was attracted by such generosity.
Zhu Minghua is so nice, she really likes him very much.
Ke Xiaoxia stopped digging wild vegetables and sat on a big rock not far away with Zhu Minghua to chat, and then ate and drank.
Ke Xiaoxia is really thick-skinned now.
What is shame? She has no idea.
It turns out that the environment has a huge impact on a person.
In the past, she would be too embarrassed to eat it if Zhu Minghua took it out, and would only eat a little when urged. Every time she took it on her own initiative, she would frantically scroll through the comments in her mind, fearing that others would complain about her in their hearts.
Now Ke Xiaoxia no longer cares about what others think.
Ke Xiaoxia didn't eat too much, after all, she still had to save space for food.
Seeing that Ke Xiaoxia didn't want to eat anymore, Zhu Minghua didn't put the things away. Instead, he took the initiative to grab a handful of mixed candies, melon seeds, and peanut snacks and stuffed them into Ke Xiaoxia's pocket, filling it up.
"Take it back and divide it among yourselves. I have plenty of this stuff. Ask them to assign you less work. It must be so tiring. You look so skinny and small. You must be malnourished."
"I've asked my family to send some more things over. Don't you love reading? I've also told them to send some textbooks and study materials over."
Ke Xiaoxia was so touched.
She looked at Zhu Minghua with sparkling eyes, deeply moved: "Brother Minghua, you are such a nice person. You are the best person I have ever met in my life."
Zhu Minghua was very pleased: "That's right, you are the only girl who suits my taste. I won't treat other people so well. You must never forget my kindness to you in the future."
"Of course not. I will always remember it."

The meat in Ke Xiaoxia's space had been eaten up, but instead there were a lot of melon seeds, peanuts, and candies.
Of course she would give some to the Ke family, but not much.
At the same time, special meals would be prepared for Mama Ke and the others, but there were always a lot of things in the space.
All this is because of Zhu Minghua’s generosity.
Li Chaoyang is actually quite generous, but Ke Xiaoxia doesn't have many opportunities to meet him alone.
In addition, Li Chaoyang seems a bit cold when he doesn't smile. Ke Xiaoxia has a psychological trauma about this, so she doesn't like to communicate with Li Chaoyang.
Ke Xiaoxia's double standard attitude made Li Chaoyang feel very uncomfortable.
Once when Zhu Minghua went to the commune to buy something, Li Chaoyang went to meet Ke Xiaoxia alone.
Ke Xiaoxia was just about to do the laundry when Li Chaoyang came to her house, which surprised her.
"Li Zhiqing? Why are you here? What's the matter?"
Hearing this unfamiliar address, Li Chaoyang pursed his lips and said, "I brought something to you. You don't have much knowledge, so you should learn more."
After saying this, Li Chaoyang felt extremely annoyed.
That wasn't what he meant.
"This is the textbook from elementary school to junior high school. If you have any questions, remember to ask me."
After saying that, Li Chaoyang put his things down and turned to leave.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would say something that was not in line with his heart.
Ke Xiaoxia was silent.
It has come to this point. If she still can't understand Li Chaoyang's intention, then she has lived in vain in her previous life.
Although Ke Xiaoxia is a bit fond of taking advantage of others in this life.
But for now, one Zhu Minghua is enough.
Li Chaoyang, forget it.
Ke Xiaoxia was not going to take the things that Li Chaoyang sent. She was going to give the things to Zhu Minghua and ask him to return them to Li Chaoyang.
This is what Ke Xiaoxia did.
Zhu Minghua smiled and said, "I didn't expect Li Chaoyang to be so worried. Don't worry, I will return the things to him."
"He probably saw me looking for textbooks for you, so he got them for you in advance. It's not a big deal. I'll ask him not to worry so much, otherwise it would be a waste if it keeps doing this."
"But seeing Li Chaoyang worry so much, I feel relieved. He finally did a good thing."
"It just so happens that I've been thinking about something recently. Li Chaoyang's textbooks don't need to be wasted. Just wait for my good news."
When in front of Ke Xiaoxia, Zhu Minghua was smiling and looked particularly sunny and cheerful.
After Zhu Minghua left Ke Xiaoxia's sight with the book, his face darkened.
Zhu Minghua has a very intimidating appearance.
His facial lines are gentle, his eyes are big and bright, and he looks sunny and cheerful when he smiles. He has the kind of appearance that easily makes people like him.
But at this moment, his gloomy face was also very intimidating. His originally bright eyes became dark, and his originally gentle lines seemed to become sharp.
At this moment, anyone who sees this would find it hard to believe that this is the Zhu Minghua who is always cheerful.
Zhu Minghua only appeared like this for a moment, and soon he returned to his original appearance.
He carried the textbooks back to where they lived and placed them in front of Li Chaoyang.
Zhu Minghua said with a smile: "Here, this is what Sister Xia asked me to bring back for you."
Li Chaoyang raised his eyes, his gaze was cold.
Zhu Minghua was smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
An undercurrent suddenly surged between the two of them.
"Li Chaoyang, don't blame Xiaoxia for not appreciating your kindness. You look so cold all day long, and everyone looks scary."
"Besides, I've already told Sister Xia that the textbooks are on the way and will arrive soon. It's not good for you to suddenly intercept them, right?"
"Of course I'm not blaming you. After all, we grew up together, and I know what kind of personality you have. Now that Xiao Xia has sent the things back, you should just be quiet, okay."
"Also, I'm going to pay for building a school for the brigade. Do you want to get involved? Your textbooks can be used and won't be wasted. It will also be more convenient for Xiao Xia to study."
Zhu Minghua continued to chatter as if he was unaware of the tense atmosphere between them.
The more he spoke, the colder Li Chaoyang's eyes became.
Li Chaoyang spoke only after Zhu Minghua stopped talking.
"You're done?"
Li Chaoyang said in a cold tone with a hint of mockery: "I paid for the school with you, and now you go to Xiao Xia to take credit for it?"
Zhu Minghua still had that smiling face: "You are talking about this, I am an honest person, I will definitely not forget to tell Sister Xiaoxia about your contribution."
As for whether it will undergo his artistic processing, it is hard to say.
