"beg?"
A flicker of disgust crossed Jiang Ying's mind.
It was summer, and Jiang Ying was only wearing a thin shirt. The sweltering heat left her covered in sweat.
The clothes clung tightly to my skin, making me very uncomfortable.
However, what made Jiang Ying even more upset was that Lin Mo was no longer the silly boy he used to be.
That old approach doesn't work on him anymore!
"What...what do you want?"
Jiang Ying didn't want Lin Mo to take advantage of her at all, since the person she truly loved was Xu Zhenting.
"Hey, look how scared you are."
Lin Mo chuckled and then put away the fatty meat in his hand.
"I was too harsh on you before, I know I was wrong. I need some time, so could you give me the meat?"
Seeing Lin Mo put away the fat meat, Jiang Ying wanted to grab it, but she knew she had no chance of winning.
Putting aside the gender difference, she could guess the source of the fat meat in Lin Mo's hands; it must have been secretly exchanged for grain from his family.
But so what? Lin Mo's family just eats less grain, while Xu Zhenting is craving meat like crazy!
Therefore, only she could lower herself and defend herself with what she thought was a sincere attitude.
But Lin Mo knew that these were all just excuses from Jiang Ying.
If I give the meat to Jiang Ying, it would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog.
So his attitude didn't soften at all, and he continued, "Just kidding. I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go home."
Seeing Lin Mo turn around and really leave, Jiang Ying gritted her teeth, feeling resentful. She stomped her feet and ran in front of Lin Mo to block him, saying, "Lin Mo, you just want to be my boyfriend, right? Now I admit it, you are my boyfriend."
However, Lin Mo did not stop for a moment and continued walking towards his home.
"Holding hands is fine too!"
Jiang Ying unleashed her trump card: she had never let Lin Mo touch her before.
This is already an unprecedented concession.
It should be noted that none of the educated youth in this group had ever dated a rural man before.
If this gets out, her reputation will definitely be greatly affected.
Xu Zhenting will misunderstand her if he finds out.
"I'm not interested. Stop bothering me. My family doesn't have any extra food to give you."
At this moment, the two were seen by passing villagers as they walked through the village.
To avoid misunderstanding, Lin Mo deliberately took a step back and distanced himself from Jiang Ying.
However, Jiang Ying was still persistent and followed him all the way to Lin Mo's house.
"Stop! Jiang Ying, let me tell you, if you keep following me, I'm going to tell the village chief that you've trespassed and attempted to steal!"
Upon arriving at his doorstep, Lin Mo forcibly suppressed his excitement at seeing his mother and sister, and warned Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying's smile froze instantly.
"You really don't want to be my girlfriend?"
"No!"
Lin Mo answered decisively, then opened the dilapidated gate and walked into the courtyard.
Outside the hospital
Watching Lin Mo's retreating figure, Jiang Ying felt both resentful and angry.
The thought that the piece of fatty meat weighed half a pound made her unable to swallow her anger.
But they couldn't actually barge into Lin Mo's courtyard; if someone saw them, things would get complicated.
So he could only turn away in resentment.
........
Lin Mo looked at the two familiar mud-brick houses in the yard, the stone roller, the wooden fork, and the various farm tools piled up in the corner, and took a deep breath.
With its rustic charm unique to the countryside, it instantly calmed and soothed his heart.
The Lin family's courtyard was not large. Lin's father died in a childbirth accident when he was eight years old.
From then on, his mother raised Lin Mo and his younger sister Lin Xiaohua alone.
"Little Flower, is that you?"
Lin Mo's eyes instantly welled up with tears when his mother's voice came from the side room.
When Lin's mother came out, she saw Lin Mo standing in the yard wiping away tears, and a trace of panic instantly appeared on her pale face.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Mo was fine when she went out at noon, so why did she come back crying?
"It's nothing, Mom, I just miss you so much."
Lin Mo sniffed, his voice hoarse.
In his previous life, he regretted countless times that if he had cared more for his mother and sister, they wouldn't have starved to death from malnutrition.
This greeting carried with it decades of regret.
"Why are you crying for no reason?"
Lin's mother quickly wiped her hands and stepped forward to wipe away Lin Mo's tears.
"mom!"
Just then, the courtyard gate opened again, and the younger sister, Lin Xiaohua, walked into the courtyard angrily and shouted:
"Mom! The brigade leader said that our family owes a lot of grain, and he won't lend us any more."
Then I saw my brother.
When Lin Xiaohua saw Lin Mo, her first reaction wasn't to greet him, but to immediately interrogate him: "Brother, did you trade the family's grain for meat again?!"
"Do you know how long it's been since Mom has eaten white flour?!"
......
In my memory, Lin Xiaohua was six years younger than Lin Mo, but she was already helping her mother with housework when she was only twelve years old.
Compared to my previous life, where I only knew how to secretly exchange my family's grain for meat, I am more like an adult now.
Ironically, his sensible younger sister never argued with him. The few times she did, it was because she looked down on Jiang Ying. But Lin Mo, who was infatuated at the time, didn't understand his sister's good intentions at all.
"Little Flower, your brother misses you too."
Seeing his younger sister's pale but still energetic appearance, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you back? Don't you usually eat at the educated youth's place?"
Lin Xiaohua looked at this strange older brother with a strange expression.
That's right. A while ago, Lin Mo took all the grain allocated to him by the brigade to the educated youth for Jiang Ying's sake.
I eat with them every day.
