Before Chen Zhao could say a few more words, he was forcibly dragged away by Qin Zheng who had just arrived.
It was rare that Chen Zhao cooperated with him without saying a word and was dragged away obediently.
After dragging her to a deserted place, Qin Zheng asked coldly, "What did you say to her just now?"
"I didn't say anything." Chen Zhao broke free from his grip and rubbed his arm gently, saying, "Why do you look like that? Oh, I understand. You don't think I'm trying to steal your girl, do you?"
Qin Zheng didn't say anything, just stared at him. Chen Zhao suddenly felt that he was more wronged than Dou E.
He hurriedly explained, "Lao Qin, I am the kind of person who poaches people. You actually don't believe me. I didn't say anything to Comrade Ruan. I was just saying something good for you."
Seeing that Qin Zheng still looked dead, Chen Zhao had no choice but to repeat to Qin Zheng all the conversations he had just had with Ruan Mianmian.
After hearing Chen Zhao's words, Qin Zheng's expression improved a little.
He said to Chen Zhao, "Don't get too close to her in the future." Then he left without looking back.
Chen Zhao looked at his back, and a lot of doubts popped up in his little head.
He and Lao Qin went to the countryside together, and they have almost lived together since then.
I've never seen Lao Qin have any interactions with female comrades before. At most, he would occasionally meet them on his way to and from work, and he would secretly glance at them. Apart from that, there was nothing special.
How could this Lao Qin suddenly have such a strong possessiveness? He couldn't even say a word. It was really puzzling.
Qin Zheng returned to Ruan Mianmian's small courtyard, looked at Ruan Mianmian and nodded, which was considered a greeting. Then he started to surround the courtyard with the others.
He found a bag full of broken porcelain pieces from somewhere. He poured them out and, while the mud was still wet, he stuck the broken pieces with the spikes facing upwards into the wall.
This is a pretty good protective measure. After all, the wall is not very high, and it is not particularly difficult for some gay men to climb over it. With these broken porcelain pieces, the probability of this happening will be greatly reduced.
With more people, work can be done faster. By the afternoon, Ruan Mianmian's house was basically completely repaired.
Just wait for the clay to dry completely. Now as long as you are careful not to touch it, there will be no problem with your normal life.
After everyone left, Ruan Mianmian called Qin Zheng aside.
"Well, thank you so much for these past few days. Without your help, I would still be at a loss." Ruan Mianmian thanked her sincerely.
"You're welcome." Qin Zheng never thought of asking her to thank him.
"Well, when you have time, calculate how much it cost to renovate the house these days, and I'll give you the money." This was the point why Ruan Mianmian called him alone.
So far, she hasn't spent a penny on this house.
"Don't worry, it won't be too late to figure it out after you've settled down." Qin Zheng subconsciously didn't want to figure it out so quickly.
"I'm anxious!" Ruan Mianmian said firmly, "I'm very anxious. I don't like to owe others, and of course, I don't like others to owe me. I like to settle accounts clearly."
Ruan Mianmian was not speaking nonsense, this idea was indeed the code of conduct she wanted to live by in this life.
In her previous life, she hadn't figured out anything and lived in a daze all her life. She couldn't figure out what others wanted, nor what she wanted.
Qin Zheng listened to her and nodded, "Okay. I'll make a list of all the items for you in the next two days. You can pay me when the time comes."
"Okay. Thank you so much!"
"We are friends, right? Don't say thank you anymore." Qin Zheng said seriously.
"Yes, we are friends." Ruan Mianmian agreed. It is not a loss to have such a future big man as a friend.
The days seemed to slowly return to normal.
Ruan Mianmian started working normally on the third day after the house was repaired.
Before that, Ruan Mianmian took a night off and went to Hua Pozi of Qingshan Brigade to deliver the things she had promised to give her and also told her the news about her granddaughter.
Hua Pozi's granddaughter is still in the next city. Ruan Mianmian kindly reminded Hua Pozi that it might not be the best time to find her now. If she takes good care of herself, then when the time comes, her granddaughter will come to find her.
She didn't care whether Hua Pozi listened to her or not, as long as she said it.
Ruan Mianmian also gave Qin Zheng the money for the house renovation. As she expected, the house renovation cost more than 30 yuan. She went to the team leader to ask, and the Ruan family bought the house for 25 yuan. The team leader also mentioned that there were several better options than the blind mother-in-law's house, but they were more expensive. Ruan Jinfu chose the cheapest one without thinking.
She was not surprised at all that the Ruan family would make such a choice. The rations they gave her only had some dried sweet potatoes and pumpkins on the top layer, and the bottom layer was all bran mixed with some dried wild vegetables.
When Ruan Mianmian opened the sack and looked at those things, she was really speechless. Her mother opened the door for her, and she arrived home speechless.
She still regarded them as human beings. Two sacks of food like this would not be enough to last until the end of the year. Even if she wanted to eat for two months, it might not be enough. These were her blood relatives. It was really ironic.
Thinking about it now, Nguyen Kim Phuc agreed to help her carry the sack so readily, maybe because he was afraid that she would find out that something was wrong in advance. After all, the volume can be seen at a glance, but the weight cannot be deceived. Can the weight of bran and wild vegetables be the same as that of coarse grains?
Ruan Mianmian took note of this account, along with the previous one.
When she finds the opportunity, she will definitely return it.

The latest work in the fields is harvesting peanuts.
This is hard work, and at this time, many men find it difficult to get full work points, mainly because their waists can't bear it.
When harvesting peanuts, you need to bend over all the time and use some skill to pull the peanuts out of the soil intact. This part is basically done by men. The subsequent soil removal and drying are usually done by young women. The final selection and storage are done by some older people.
This allocation is currently the most efficient.
In the peanut field, Chen Zhao and Qin Zheng were assigned fields together, and each of them was responsible for a ridge of land, but Chen Zhao's strength was far behind Qin Zheng. He tried his best but couldn't catch up with Qin Zheng's speed, so he chose to give up.
If his waist continues to bend, it will be broken. He hasn't married yet.
