Chapter 23 I Like Her, She Doesn’t Need to Know (2/2)



He guessed that if this condition was stated, he would definitely agree.

At lunch time, neither the team leader nor Cheng Chuan showed up.

Wu Xiaoying and Zhou Guozheng both noticed that Xu Ningjun was in a bad mood, so they ate quietly without saying a word.

Xu Ningjun poked the rice with his chopsticks, it was almost smashed to pieces, and he hadn't eaten it for a long time.

Zhou Guozheng and Wu Xiaoqian looked at each other, and Wu Xiaoqian asked carefully, "Are you... not happy to see Tian Aiping and Cheng Chuan?"

"without."

"Ningning, let me be frank. You have no right to control what happens to Tian Aiping and Cheng Chuan."

"I know."

Xu Ningjun said casually, as if indifferent, picking at the rice in the bowl.

"Then why are you giving Cheng Chuan such a bad look today?"

When someone walked past her, she would still hum at them.

His face showed unhappiness, very unhappiness.

Xu Ningjun was unhappy not because of Tian Aiping, but because she invited him to dinner and Cheng Chuan said he couldn't come.

He's not coming?!

She said she needed someone to cook and wash dishes, and she would provide him with meals.

He's not coming yet?!

"Why isn't he married yet? It's annoying."

The sooner he gets married, the sooner he disappears from her sight.

People coming and going outside the door heard the sound and glanced inside.

Wu Xiaoqian quickly closed the open door and muttered softly, "You said you weren't angry."

"Why would you close the door in broad daylight? Did you close it just to see me coming?"

Outside the door, the team leader walked in with a laugh, "It's time to eat, Zhou Zhiqing, how are our piglets doing?"

Zhou Guozheng nodded, "It's fine, I just fed it."

Pigs grow faster if they eat feed, but we can’t afford feed, so for now we feed them potatoes and carrots, whatever we have available.

"Hmm."

The captain nodded repeatedly, "I'm here to find Xu Zhiqing. You don't have to go to school this afternoon. From now on, you will be the scorekeeper and help us keep score."

Xu Ningjun was stunned for a moment and put down his chopsticks. "Why?"

Being a scorekeeper is a good job. It's quite easy as you can count the scores every day.

Everyone was vying to be the scorekeeper. She was an educated youth from outside the province and had no family relationship with the team leader, so he would not take such good care of her.

"What's the big deal, kid?" the captain smiled. "It turns out the scorekeeper is pregnant and can't do her job. I figured since you're literate and educated, you'd be perfect for this job."

There are so many people who can read and have received an education, why choose her?

Xu Ningjun still didn't understand, but there was no harm in that. "Okay, thank you."

"Xu Zhiqing, please don't be polite. I just came to talk to you about this. You guys eat, eat, I'm leaving now."

Wu Xiaoqian sighed, "Captain, please be careful."

"Don't send me off, sir."

Walking out, the captain nodded and looked at the girl sitting at the table.

Her back is straight and slender, with her long black braids loosely tied with a red silk thread, which is eye-catching.

In recent years, many educated youth have come to the brigade, coming and going.

Although she is not the first one as beautiful as Xu Ningjun, there are many good-looking ones.

The captain sighed. At his age, he still had to rely on threats to lure young people.

He just said, "The scorekeeper position is vacant. I can arrange for Xu Zhiqing to go."

He noticed it during the days of heavy rain.

Some people can't hide it, maybe it's the first time they like a girl, and no matter how they hide, it can be seen.

The person standing in front of him nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"good."

Reclaiming wasteland is not an easy job. The weather was so hot that he felt tired even after walking a few steps on the road.

Unable to imagine how hard the next job would be, Cheng Chuan agreed without hesitation.

"Cheng Chuan, I'll give you more points and won't treat you unfairly, good boy."

"Don't tell her."

"............good."

He didn't ask for any other help, no specific tools, no specific subsidies...

Just don't tell her.
