"I like Yu Jiu, the educated youth! She's the wife I want to marry! Don't try to scam me, everyone else! I'm not interested!"
"I will only ever love one person in my entire life, and that is Yu Jiu! Did you all understand?"
"Does anyone else have any questions?"
"I really don't understand you guys. Why would you think like that? Haven't my feelings for Yu Zhiqing been obvious enough? I wish I could marry her right away!"
Xu Zijiang, his face dark, voiced his heartfelt complaints.
After his solemn confession, Yu Caihong and the others, like weather vanes, turned back into the drinking party. The couple name that Yu Caihong chose meant that their love was like alcoholism, an overwhelming and irresistible emotion that made people live in a drunken stupor!
He is a cultured person.
"Then why don't you marry her now? If you're going to put on an act, at least go all the way, right? Captain, there's nothing shameful about admitting you like me. I admit I don't really think much of you, but if you're begging me, I'm willing to give you a chance to pursue me, since you saved me."
The condition is that you can't stop me from returning to the city. This place can't keep me; I'm going back to the city eventually.
Li Nannan didn't listen to Xu Zijiang's words at all. Instead, she tossed her hair and confidently announced that she really did have a little bit of confidence.
"I wouldn't mind if you went back into your mother's womb to be reborn! You can go wherever you want, it's none of my business, and I don't need your opportunity. People who know the truth will say I saved you, but people who don't will think I harmed you and you're going to repay my kindness with enmity!"
"How much more do I need to explain? I don't like you, I have absolutely no feelings for you, I saved you because of a sense of responsibility! If it were anyone else, I would have run to save them, but because it was to save you, I went there reluctantly and slowly."
"And why not marry Yu Zhiqing now? Open your eyes and see clearly, is now a suitable time for marriage? The floodwaters have just receded, there's still a ton of work to be done, everyone's settled in, and I haven't even prepared a betrothal gift for Yu Zhiqing yet. How can we get married?"
"Do you think everyone is like they want to marry you, just casually entering the door? When I get married, I don't need an eight-bearer sedan chair, but at least my little educated youth should enter the door with dignity and respect, so that everyone envies her, do you understand?"
You little brat, what do you know? Get lost!
Xu Zijiang unleashed a torrent of abuse, showing no mercy to the young girl. Li Nannan was so enraged by his words that she began to question her existence. Her expression froze, and her smug hand, which had been tossing her hair, fell limp. She was in a state of panic.
What's going on? Could what Xu Zijiang said be true? Impossible! Who would be so responsible as to risk their life to save her? What else could it be but love? If it were her, she wouldn't even glance at someone she disliked, wishing them dead immediately. How could she possibly save him!
Xu Zijiang must still be playing hard to get!
"Captain, don't be so harsh on me. I don't fall for your playing hard to get tricks. If you want to win my heart, you'll have to beg me and treat me well, otherwise I..."
She forced herself to remain calm and continued talking to herself. Xu Zi felt so disgusted she almost vomited her dinner from the night before. Who wanted to be nice to her? Who was playing hard to get with her?! Was this person deaf? Couldn't she hear what she was saying?!
Yu Jiu watched her calmly, wanting to see what else she would say. Could someone really be so lacking in self-awareness, living entirely in their own delusions? Was Li Nannan doing this on purpose, deliberately trying to disgust her and Xu Zijiang, hoping Xu Zijiang would let her return to the city?
No one knew whether Li Nannan was genuinely stupid or just pretending, but it was definitely an awkward situation. Luckily, Yu Caihong, a kind woman, stepped in to defuse the situation by tugging at Li Nannan's sleeve.
"Cough, Nan Nan, you must have misunderstood something. It's good that the misunderstanding is cleared up. Haven't you cooked yet? Go and cook."
"I'm not misunderstanding! Xu Zijiang, give me a straight answer today! If you keep playing hard to get, don't blame me for not giving you any more chances in the future! Tell me, between me and Yu Jiu, who do you choose? Who do you really like?!"
Li Nannan angrily shook off Yu Caihong's hand and questioned her, her spirited little face hardened, as if she could pounce on Xu Zijiang and fight him at any moment.
"You dare compare yourself to Yu Zhiqing? No need to choose, I would choose Yu Zhiqing no matter who I'm compared to! Yu Zhiqing, Yu Zhiqing, Yu Zhiqing! The only one I like is Yu Zhiqing!"
Xu Zijiang held Yu Jiu's hand and said loudly.
"I hate you all, waaaaaah."
Li Nannan was so angry that she cried. She shook her head and ran out crying again.
Xu Zijiang looked weary. He rubbed his face, inwardly reflecting on what sins he had committed in the past twenty years to have encountered a woman like Li Nannan. He longed for her to return to the city even more than Li Nannan did, and not stay here to cause him trouble and disgust!
"You've suffered."
Yu Jiu patted Xu Zijiang's shoulder understandingly and sighed in comfort.
Li Nannan has grown up without anyone killing her, which must be because she has good parents. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to live such a brainless and impulsive life. Thinking about it carefully, I'm a little envious of her parents' love for her, but it's really unnecessary to develop this kind of personality.
Yu Jiu still prefers herself as she is now.
"You have to believe me. No matter what nonsense she's spouting, you can't believe her or me. I suspect she's been kicked in the head by a donkey. What normal person would have so many strange ideas? It's infuriating."
Xu Zi leaned wearily on Yu Jiu's shoulder and complained.
Honestly, he only knew that Li Nannan was mentally unstable, but he never expected her to be this unstable. He regretted it. If only he had brought that fat guy to their team, at least that fat guy knew fear and would behave after being taught a few lessons. But Li Nannan was courting death and wouldn't listen to any kind of discipline.
"I will definitely believe you, you don't need to worry."
Yu Jiu tiptoed and patted Xu Zijiang's head, gently comforting him, "Being liked by Li Nannan is just like Chen Yuan misunderstanding that she likes him, emmm, it's really hard to describe this feeling, anyway it's very uncomfortable."
She felt sorry for Xu Zijiang so much that she couldn't possibly disbelieve him or blame him!
Seeing that the kitchen was about to turn into a scene of Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang pouring out their hearts to each other and being affectionate, everyone quickly left, pretending that they hadn't seen or heard anything.
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang were the biggest contributors to this flood incident. Even the educated youth in the settlement were proud of Yu Jiu, so they would never criticize her and Xu Zijiang. They could hold hands if they wanted to, and confide in each other if they wanted to. That was what they deserved!
Not only did the members of the Beitang production team think this way, but the leaders of the commune also thought so. The Beitang production team was the only one without any casualties, which meant that the Beitang team leader had very keen observation skills and strong decision-making and command abilities.
Everyone also heard that the partner of the production team leader of Beitang was also involved in this, so now, in addition to figuring out how to appease everyone and help them rebuild their homes and restore their previous lives, they are also thinking about how to commend this loving couple.
"The advanced production team leader should definitely be awarded. Everyone, please share your thoughts."
Secretary Zhou Chunrong, holding a small notebook, leaned against the table, half-bending over, and solicited everyone's opinions.
"Since they're dating, they'll definitely get married eventually. If you ask me, I'd give them a pair of big red washbasins, tea mugs, and thermos flasks. They're festive and practical, so they won't have to buy new ones for their wedding."
"Yes, we'll also send them a wedding quilt. It will not only reward them for their outstanding performance during the flood, but also convey our sincere blessings to them. We all agree to this marriage!"
