"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll stay away from her." Chen Zhao quickly stated that he just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect Qin Zheng to be so serious.
Qin Zheng didn't say anything, but just quickened the pace of his work.
After a while, Chen Zhao came up to him again and said, "I didn't expect you to like this. No wonder you were indifferent to Meng Xiao's advances. They are totally different types."
"I just ate so much and still couldn't stop you from talking!" Qin Zheng was really annoyed with Chen Zhao sometimes. He could talk for a long time by himself.
"We've already finished our meal, how can we still shut up? Tell me, when did you fall in love with her?"
"Hey, why are you ignoring me? Tell me what you are afraid of. I won't snatch it from you."
"'I'm telling you, you can't chase girls like this, it's too passive. I'm telling you, you have to do it this way..."
After washing all the pots and pans, Qin Zheng left quickly. He didn't want to listen to Chen Zhao's nagging anymore.
After Qin Zheng and Chen Zhao left, two female comrades walked out from the shadows, holding some bowls and basins ready to be washed.
"Meng Xiao, don't listen to Chen Zhao's nonsense. He has no control over his mouth. He dares to say anything." Jiang Jiaojiao carefully observed Meng Xiao's face, fearing that she would smash the bowl in her hand if she was not satisfied.
Everyone in the educated youth center knew what Meng Xiao thought of Qin Zheng. Two other female educated youth had wanted to get closer to Qin Zheng, but when Meng Xiao found out, she found various reasons to get rid of them.
As a result, at the current educated youth site, except Meng Xiao, no other female educated youth dared to get close to Qin Zheng.
Meng Xiao didn't say much, but stuffed everything in his hand into Jiang Jiaojiao's hands, turned around and left.
Jiang Jiaojiao also regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would have washed the dishes herself. Why did she drag Meng Xiao along?

After coming out of the guesthouse, Ruan Mianmian was in a very good mood.
I no longer feel the sunlight is glaring, instead I feel a sense of joy from a new life.
Her mission today was to find the black market and trade there. This was the fastest way to make money.
She wandered along the streets of the county town, observing the pedestrians on the street. Sure enough, on the street behind the county hospital, many people were carrying bags. They didn't look like they were just strolling around. She could also faintly hear the sound of people talking and trading inside.
Ruan Mianmian looked down at her clothes. She put on the black clothes that she had changed into in the system mall before. She also changed her black hair into a short curly hair style and put some dust on her face. Anyway, she looked completely different from her previous image. Instead, she looked a bit like a street urchin.
I don't know if it's due to the system, but her face is much prettier now than in her previous life. It's not the kind of beauty that changes the facial features through plastic surgery. Her eyebrows, eyes, and facial features haven't changed, but she just looks much prettier than in her previous life.
She didn't want to attract too much attention, so after coming out of the guesthouse, she found an empty corner and tidied herself up.
Then, she carried the large sack she took out from the space and walked into the busy alley.
At the entrance of the alley, two young men were squatting and smoking. They looked at Ruan Mianmian, then looked at the large sack that Ruan Mianmian was carrying, and then one of them stretched out his hand and made a two gesture.
Ruan Mianmian took out two dimes from her trouser pocket and handed them over. She had observed before that these two young men had been squatting here. When they saw someone carrying a bag or a basket, they would raise two fingers, which meant they had to pay two dimes. When they saw someone with empty hands or an empty basket, they would raise one finger, which meant they had to pay ten dimes.
They have been squatting here for years, and their eyes are very accurate in judging people, and they basically never make mistakes. Of course, they also have a sharp eye for the inspection team. Otherwise, how could this place be so peaceful all the time.
Ruan Mianmian took out two cents and handed it over, then walked straight in.
In the narrow alley, there were a few people squatting sparsely. In front of each person was something, not much, obviously samples.
If someone likes something, they will negotiate the price. After the deal is done, the seller will take out the corresponding quantity of items.
The whole process was relatively quiet, and everyone spoke in low voices. It was completely different from the bustling shopping malls and vegetable markets she had visited in her previous life.
Ruan Mianmian also followed the example of others and found a corner to squat down. She took out a handful of rice, an egg, and a handful of brown sugar and placed them on her handkerchief.
She had just put it away when an aunt came over to ask the price.
"Girl, how much is this egg and brown sugar?" The auntie was very happy. Her daughter-in-law was in confinement and needed brown sugar, but she couldn't buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative without a ticket. She wanted to try her luck in the black market, and she really came across it.
"Auntie, if you have a ticket, the eggs are 10 cents each, if you don't have a ticket, 15 cents each. If you have a ticket, the brown sugar is 1.2 yuan per pound, if you don't have a ticket, 2 yuan per pound. Any ticket will do." The things that Ruan Mianmian sells are all redeemed in advance from the system mall. In addition to earning points, money and tickets are also something she must have.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to do anything. Some things are more cost-effective to exchange from the system mall. But some things still need to go through the normal transaction process.
She couldn't let others know the existence of the system mall, so covering it up was necessary.
"Your price is a bit high, please make it cheaper, I will buy more." The aunt was very satisfied with Ruan Mianmian's goods. The quality is much better than those in the supply and marketing cooperative. It is a rare good product even in the black market. But she still wanted to lower the price. Every bit of money saved is a bit saved.
"Auntie, look at the quality of my stuff. It's expensive at this price. I can tell you're a connoisseur. I'm taking risks here. I really don't make any money."
Seeing that Ruan Mianmian was not willing to give in, the aunt stopped bargaining and said, "Give me two kilograms of brown sugar and twenty eggs."
Ruan Mianmian took the basket handed over by the auntie, turned around and took out the things the auntie wanted from the sack, which was actually the system space. A bag of brown sugar is one pound. The size of the eggs is also uniform. It is worthy of being a product of the space, worry-free.
The aunt took the basket and looked at it. Then she handed Ruan Mianmian four dollars and forty cents, two cloth coupons, two match coupons, a soap coupon, and a yarn coupon.
Ruan Mianmian politely accepted it. Before the aunt had gone far, two older sisters came over. After a while, the two older sisters each carried a cloth bag and left.
