"It's just a trip to town. What could happen to me?"
Xu Jiashu put his hands in his overalls pockets and his eyes fell on the brothers who were running towards him.
"Boss used to be at the factory by this time of day when he went to town. Why is he taking so long today?"
"Yeah, Boss, is there something going on in town?"
Xu Jiashu raised his arm and put it on Xiaopang's shoulder: "Alright, alright, stop thinking about it, there's nothing wrong, let's go home and eat!"
"No, if there is none, then there is none. What are you laughing at, Boss?"
Xiaopang looked at Xu Jiashu's slightly raised mouth corners suspiciously.
Xu Jiashu touched his face and asked, "Is my smile that obvious?"
"have!"
The five of them said in unison and nodded in unison.
Xu Jiashu raised his hand and pulled down the corner of his mouth: "Now?"
Several people shook their heads in tacit understanding.
"I can't suppress it, I can't suppress it at all!"
"Boss, tell the truth, are you hiding something from us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the brothers immediately came towards Xu Jiashu, looking at him inquiringly, trying to find some clues from his face.
Xu Jiashu pushed their faces away one by one.
"Go away, get out of here! Don't you think it's hot enough being so close?"
Several people took two steps back, blocking the way in front of Xu Jiashu, as if they were not going to let him go unless he was told.
Xu Jiashu was not shy in front of his brothers. Facing their questioning, he raised his hand and touched his nose.
"Nothing much, I just met a female educated youth on the way."
"Female educated youth? Are you sure it's a female?"
The brothers looked at each other and instantly lost their composure.
Their boss looked fierce and was a village bully. The girls in the village would run away from him as if he had seen a ghost. How could a female educated youth dare to get to know their boss?
"Boss, you, you didn't lie to us? Are there really any female educated youth who dare to approach you?"
Xiaopang widened his eyes and looked at Xu Jiashu in disbelief.
Xu Jiashu rolled his eyes at Xiaopang and slapped him on the forehead.
"Hey kid, what are you talking like that? I'm not some jackal, tiger or leopard, so why don't those female educated youth dare to approach me?"
"Not only did she get close to me, but I even carried her on my back halfway back to the Youth League Center!"
Xu Jiashu accidentally let the cat out of the bag, and then he quickly closed his mouth after realizing it.
Xiaopang and his friends looked at him slyly and started gossiping immediately.
"Where is that female educated youth now? What's her name? Is she pretty?"
When talking about Jiang Jingyu, Xu Jiashu blushed incoherently.
"She's a female educated youth, so of course she's going back to the educated youth center. You can call her Comrade Xiao Jiang like me. As for her appearance..."
Xu Jiashu's mind flashed with the image of Jiang Jingyu smiling at him, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Beautiful! I've never seen anyone so beautiful in my life!"
"real?"
Xiaopang and the others' eyes lit up, and they became even more curious about the female educated youth that Xu Jiashu mentioned.
"Let's go to the Youth League Center and see how pretty Comrade Jiang is!"
A few people said that wind is rain and took big strides to walk towards the educated youth institute.
"return!"
Xu Jiashu called them and they obediently returned to him.
"Boss, what's the matter?"
"I'm warning you guys, don't mess around. Comrade Xiao Jiang is timid. What if he gets scared by you?"
"Besides, the old women in the village love to gossip behind people's backs. I don't want Comrade Xiao Jiang to become the subject of their gossip because of this incident!"
Xiaopang and the others were surprised at Xu Jiashu's protection.
They half-jokingly asked, "Boss, you're so supportive of Comrade Xiao Jiang, could it be that you're attracted to her?"
I originally thought Xu Jiashu would refute it, but who knew he actually nodded in agreement!
"That's right, I'm attracted to Comrade Xiao Jiang, so you guys should be more discerning when you see Comrade Xiao Jiang in the future, okay? Don't embarrass me!"
After saying this, Xu Jiashu pushed a few people aside and walked forward, leaving them standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.
Xiaopang and the others turned their heads stiffly, looking at the tall figure in front of them in shock.
"No, what do you mean? Is the boss really interested in the new female educated youth?"
"It seems so. When have you ever seen the boss defend a woman like this?"
"Aha, this trip to town was really worth it, we even have a sister-in-law when we come back!"
"Let's go, let's go ask the boss what kind of person my sister-in-law is. Why did she fall in love with me after just one meeting?"
Xu Jiashu was pestered and questioned by several people all the way. Finally, he became impatient and took the opportunity to escape back home!
Quack, quack, quack——
Xu Jiashu ran all the way back and scared the ducks that were eating, causing them to run around in panic, quacking all over the yard.
Xu's mother, who was eating in the house, came out with a bowl in her hand and pointed at Xu Jiashu in the yard and cursed him.
"Hey Jiashu, you little brat, why are you running? Look at you, you're already twenty years old but still acting like a brat who hasn't grown up. You're really a worry to me!"
Xu Jiashu was not surprised by this. He walked up to Xu's mother with a smile and put his arms around her shoulders.
"Yes, yes, mother is right. I was wondering why I could smell a fragrance from so far away. It turned out to be the aroma of the rice my mother cooked!"
Xu's mother rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Stinky boy, what else can you do besides talking nonsense? If you have the guts, why don't you find me a wife?"
"Okay, here we go again."
Xu Jiashu shrugged, walked past Xu's mother and entered the main hall.
"You're back. Are you hungry? Wash your hands and come over to eat."
Father Xu, who was sitting at the dinner table eating, looked up at Xu Jiashu.
“Hey!”
Xu Jiashu walked to the basin rack and washed his hands. After returning to the dining table, he picked up a big steamed bun and began to devour it greedily.
"Slow down, eat slowly! You're already so old, and you're still worrying me!"
Xu's mother looked disappointed and handed Xu Jiashu a bowl of water.
After running around for the whole morning, Xu Jiashu was extremely hungry. He took the water and drank the entire bowl in one gulp.
"Mom is so kind! No wonder they say children with mothers are like treasures!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you little brat! If you really think I'm good, find me a wife!"
Xu Jiashu stopped talking and just stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth.
Xu's mother said earnestly, "Jiashu, how can you keep delaying your lifelong event? You're already twenty years old, and people your age in the village already have children, but you don't even have a wife!"
"I heard that the matchmaker in the village is looking for a husband for Old Zhang's granddaughter. How about I give the matchmaker a call and ask her to help bring you two together?"
Xu Jiashu looked up at Xu's mother. His cheeks were bulging from his mouth full of steamed buns, and he spoke incoherently.
"Mom, I'm telling you, don't do anything rash about this. Even if you tell the matchmaker, I won't meet you. I already have someone I like!"
