Chapter 21 Cold War 1
"Ningningningning, it's him!"
Xu Ningjun nodded, the man who bought them ginseng that day.
It seems to be called...
"This is Zhou Guozheng, Comrade Zhou, welcome everyone."
Yes, Zhou Guozheng.
The man was wearing a blue shirt today and glasses like last time, and he had an elegant smile.
Everyone in the field applauded, and he nodded politely.
"If I remember correctly, Zhou Guo is the son of the owner of Chenxi Pharmaceutical Factory. I've seen him in the newspaper."
Several female educated youth lowered their voices and whispered to each other, and for a moment everyone's eyes lit up.
"Is this true? You must be seeing things."
"How can that be fake? It's real!"
After the team leader came to power, several female educated youth immediately straightened their clothes and surrounded him.
"Hello, Comrade Zhou."
Wang Qingqing also squeezed into the crowd and said, "Comrade Zhou, why don't I take you around Qingshan Village and appreciate the beautiful scenery of our motherland."
The boss of the pharmaceutical factory is so rich. If I marry him, I can eat white flour and rice every day, and maybe even meat.
Zhou Guozheng's gaze passed over them and fell into the distance.
"Excuse me, please make way."
He walked straight towards Xu Ningjun and extended his right hand. "Xu Zhiqing, I just heard your name from the team leader. Hello."
Xu Liang's daughter, Xu Ningjun, was not quite what he had imagined.
Before coming here, he had prepared himself for the possibility that she would be a delicate and artificial girl, but the person before him was dressed simply and had a generous smile, like a pearl on the loess land.
His waggish gesture of goodwill surprised everyone.
Wang Qingqing’s teeth were almost broken. Xu Ningjun, Xu Ningjun, everything belongs to Xu Ningjun!
Zhou Guozheng stretched out his white hand in front of his eyes, and Xu Ningjun subconsciously turned his head to look at Cheng Chuan.
He was working and didn't even look over here.
She hesitated to shake hands, and Zhou Guozheng coughed awkwardly and withdrew his hand. "From now on, we are comrades. What kind of work are you doing? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Wu Xiaohua nervously hid behind Xu Ningjun, fearing that he would recognize them.
Xu Ningjun was not afraid. They sold things and he bought things.
They are all engaged in speculation and profiteering, and no one is more innocent than anyone else.
She said, "Go find whichever group you're assigned to."
"I should put you in this group."
"Well," Xu Ningjun pointed at Cheng Chuan, "ask him for work."
Zhou Guozheng looked over. The man was very tall, with sweat dripping down his wheat-colored skin. He raised his head and swept his cold eyes over him.
He was actually a little trembling, as if he had done something wrong.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Guozheng. What kind of work can I do for you?"
It was Zhou Guozheng’s first time as an educated youth, and he didn’t even know what the work in the brigade was.
"No."
Cheng Chuan looked away and continued with his own work.
"No? Then, I'll go help Xu Zhiqing with his work."
"Um."
He nodded silently, Xu Ningjun looked over and bit his lip.
Zhou Guozheng unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves carefully, looking ready for a big fight. "Give it to me, Xu Zhiqing."
Xu Ningjun was not polite and handed the hoe to him directly, then went to sit in the shade with Wu Xiaohua.
Soon Zhou Guozheng's clothes were soaked with sweat, but he didn't shout or give up.
Even though it's slow, I keep going.
Wang Qingqing on the side gritted her teeth in anger, "See? Everyone wants to get close to Xu Ningjun, and you can't get a spot."
Standing next to her was Cheng Yuanshan, who had a grim expression on his face, pale and blue, and was holding his stomach.
I don’t know what he ate last night, but the whole family was vomiting and having diarrhea.
I was so hungry, but my mother didn't want to cook because I would vomit anyway and she was afraid of wasting the food.
After tossing and turning all night, he vomited only clear water, which almost cost him his life.
"Who knew this guy would come out of nowhere?"
