Before I knew it, I had drunk half a lunchbox and then peeled a boiled egg.
The shell of a hard-boiled egg is very easy to peel, revealing the snow-white egg white. Take a bite, and the yolk inside is cooked just right, not too hard to swallow, nor too soft or runny.
It was just right, smooth and tender, the best boiled egg he had ever eaten.
He quickly finished a lunchbox of porridge and three boiled eggs. This was the most comfortable breakfast he had eaten since he was sent down to the Tuanjie Brigade.
He couldn't help but smile. Although that girl was very talkative, her cooking skills were quite good.
Xu Ningyan was unaware that Gu Zhiyuan was satisfied with her cooking skills. She happily carried the rest of the food back to her own little house.
I was all smiles the whole way; it was definitely the right decision to move next to such a big shot!
Wouldn't that make the relationship progress by leaps and bounds?
A few days ago, Gu Zhiyuan refused to touch the mung bean soup she brought him, but after she moved in yesterday, he allowed her to help carry grass for the cows, and today they have already exchanged gifts!
If she persists in this way, she believes that her relationship with Gu Zhiyuan will become inseparable and unbreakable!
As for the possibility that others might see this, they might think she has no self-respect and is shameless!
Pshaw! That's just sour grapes! If you can latch onto a powerful figure, what's the point of having a sense of shame?
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Xu Ningyan planned to ask for leave from the brigade headquarters and tell the brigade leader and others that she was going to the commune to transfer her household registration today.
The mangy lackey was still guarding the door, and when he saw Xu Ningyan come out, he tried to follow her again.
Xu Ningyan stopped him: "I'm going to the commune today. You stay home and take good care of the house. If you do a good job, I'll reward you with bones when I get back!"
The lackey seemed to understand, wagging his tail as he watched her walk away without following.
When I passed by the cowshed, the door was closed again, and there was no sound from inside. I guess Gu Zhiyuan had gone to clear land again.
Although there was no one supervising him, Gu Zhiyuan hardly slacked off for a single day after being assigned the task of clearing the land.
Xu Ningyan didn't think much of it and went straight to the brigade headquarters.
When the captain saw her arrive, he knew why she had come.
Without needing to say much, they agreed immediately and even gave me a letter of introduction.
Xu Ningyan took the letter of introduction, put it in his pocket, and set off.
In the original owner's memory, on market days, the production team would have Old Yang, the cowherd, drive an oxcart to pick up and drop off the team members at the commune, paying one cent per person.
Today isn't market day, so there are no oxcarts available; we'll have to rely on our own two legs.
The Tuanjie Brigade was not too far from the Hongxing Commune, about ten miles away, and the route passed through two or three other production teams.
It was April or May, and the morning air was still a bit chilly. A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, grass, and trees, and as far as the eye could see, everything was green.
The road was a dirt road, but thankfully it wasn't too difficult to walk on.
Xu Ningyan kept her head down and hurried on her way, paying no attention to the scenery along the road.
Before I had gone halfway, I saw two familiar figures ahead, just as I was about to turn a small hill.
Isn't that Xu Zhenzhu and Xu Yejun, one of the original owner's cousins?
Are they going to the commune too?
Xu Ningyan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickened her pace to follow. She didn't dare to take the main road, but instead walked along the path on the earthen slope, using the bushes on the slope to hide her figure.
Then Xu Yejun's voice was heard: "Auntie, is the Lu family really that powerful? We saved their son and even paid for his medical expenses, but it's been several days and the Lu family still hasn't sent anyone. Do they expect you to take care of them? Is this how they treat their saviors? Are they just trying to take advantage of us?"
Xu Zhenzhu spat at Xu Yejun: "What do you know! The Lu family is big and powerful, what do we have that they could possibly cheat us out of? It's just that his parents are busy with work and can't get away for the time being. Don't worry, once Lu Kai's leg has healed and his parents have calmed down, they will naturally come to thank us!"
Xu Yejun muttered resentfully, "What kind of family is this? No matter how busy they are, they don't even have time to come and see their son after he broke his leg. They just take advantage of us taking care of him and dump him on us! This isn't saving a person, it's saving a tyrant—"
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Zhenzhu glared at him and said, "What do you know? If Lu Kai hadn't broken his leg and couldn't move easily, and had to stay in our commune hospital, do you think we would have had the chance to take care of him? With their family's wealth, so many people would be eager to take care of him but wouldn't even have the opportunity! If we don't take this opportunity to curry favor with the Lu family, will it be your turn when Lu Kai's leg heals?"
Xu Ningyan scratched his ear. Why did this sound so familiar?
Isn't this just the mentality of clinging to a powerful figure?
Bah! Xu Zhenzhu is a simp; she's after Lu Kai's body and his money!
I'm different. I don't want the big boss's body or money! I only want to be his lackey!
This is a fundamental difference! She's not a simp!
Yes, that's how double standards they are!
Xu Ningyan quickly convinced herself.
Listening closely, one could hear Xu Zhenzhu warning Xu Yejun to be more polite at the commune hospital, not to whine, and to be more diligent, saying that there would be benefits for him in the future.
Xu Yejun dared not argue anymore and obediently agreed.
Xu Ningyan wasn't stupid. Hearing what Xu Zhenzhu meant, she immediately understood what she hadn't been able to figure out before.
Why did Xu Zhenzhu push Xu Siya into the water? Why did she say that if you died, it would be my fault?
I'm afraid this Xu Zhenzhu is either a time traveler or a reincarnated person.
She knew about Lu Kai's family background and future achievements, and in order to seize the marriage and opportunities that should have belonged to Xu Siya, she pushed Xu Siya into the river!
You should know that Xu Zhenzhu attends high school in the county town and only comes back once a month at the end of the month for a holiday.
It's only the middle of the month now, so she took leave and came back. She spent several days wandering around the back mountain before finally rescuing Lu Kai.
It looks like a premeditated scheme!
After figuring this out, Xu Ningyan became even more wary of Xu Zhenzhu. Everyone wants a good life. If you want to marry Lu Kai or steal your niece's husband, it's up to you! At most, you have moral flaws.
If someone could lose their life without saying a word, that would be a serious legal issue!
Such a ruthless woman deserves to be taught a lesson to appease Lord Pingyuan's anger!
Today, with no village or shop in sight and no one else passing by, it's the perfect time to strike.
Xu Ningyan looked down and searched the hillside for a while, found a wooden stick of suitable thickness and hardness, weighed it in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.
Holding a wooden stick, he tiptoed behind Xu Zhenzhu and Xu Yejun.
Perhaps even God couldn't bear to see it and sided with Xu Ningyan.
Just as Xu Ningyan was worrying about how difficult it would be to knock two people out of the way without being discovered, Xu Yejun's shoe sole fell off.
These shoes were the only pair of Liberation shoes in the Xu family, and usually only the person who needed to go out on errands could wear them.
If it weren't for Xu Zhenzhu speaking up, saying that she was dressed too poorly and that Lu Kai would look down on her if she went to the commune hospital, she would have been in trouble.
Xu Yejun didn't get a chance to wear it either.
Who would have thought that the soles of these shoes would wear off so quickly after only a short time?
