After picking cabbages with Ren Qi, it was almost time to go.
"Xile, go and call for dinner. I'll cut off the cabbage roots and wash them."
"good!"
As soon as Jiang Xile announced that dinner was ready, the educated youth rushed into the kitchen.
When they saw that Jiang Xile was cooking today, everyone was slightly surprised, but then they enthusiastically joined in the cooking.
Duan Chengyu sat opposite Jiang Xile, holding a bowl of porridge, and said seemingly casually:
"I never knew Jiang Zhiqing had this skill! The cornmeal porridge is especially delicious today!"
The sudden praise from Duan Chengyu really surprised Jiang Xile.
If she remembered correctly, the person she had previously thrown over her shoulder was him!
Why are you acting like nothing happened? Are you really that magnanimous?
That's impossible; Jiang Xile would never believe it, not even if you beat her to death.
If Duan Chengyu were truly a magnanimous person, he wouldn't have come back to cause trouble just because he was criticized.
"Thank you for the compliment, Duan. But today's porridge was made by Sister Ren Qi, so I just lit a fire."
"hehe..."
Huang Yingjie couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing that something was wrong, he immediately lowered his head and pretended that nothing had happened and continued to drink his porridge.
Duan Chengyu's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth as he said:
"Even starting a fire requires a certain level of skill. If the fire isn't kept burning properly, how can you make such delicious porridge!"
"hehe.."
Now it was Jiang Xile's turn to laugh awkwardly.
She really didn't expect Duan Chengyu to be able to lie so blatantly.
It seems they have big plans this time, otherwise why would they endure such humiliation?
Seeing that Jiang Xile did not answer, Duan Chengyu lowered his hand and clenched it again and again, finally managing to calm himself down.
Don't be too hasty. Today is a start. Being able to talk to her is progress. Take it slow. He will definitely win her over.
Mu Tianye sat diagonally opposite Duan Chengyu, watching his actions with a dark look in his eyes, and immediately decided that he should also start taking action.
As one of the same group of educated youth sent to the countryside, Mu Tianye believed that he had some face in front of Jiang Xile, so after breakfast, he went up to her to strike up a conversation.
Duan Chengyu appeared during the meal, and now that they've finished eating, Mu Tianye is sticking to her again, which is really annoying for Jiang Xile.
"Mu Zhiqing, is there something you need?"
"No, no, why would Jiang Zhiqing ask that?"
"Since there's nothing else, let's go our separate ways. Even though we're all gay, there's a difference between men and women, so it's best to keep our distance!"
Seeing that there was less than a foot between them, Mu Tianye awkwardly rubbed his nose.
“Jiang, Jiang, we are all educated youth from the same batch, so we should be united and friendly and help each other. I don’t mean anything else, I just want to get to know you better.”
Looking at Mu Tianye's roundabout and dishonest manner, Jiang Xile chuckled and then said:
"Although we were sent to the countryside in the same batch of educated youth, we didn't have much of a relationship; we were just comrades."
I don't think there's any need for further mutual understanding, so it's best if the educated youth keep their distance. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble or misunderstandings!
Hearing Jiang Xile's repeated rejections, the usually arrogant Mu Tianye's face darkened.
Even though he had made many plans in his mind beforehand, he couldn't bring himself to fawn over others at this moment.
"I understand what Jiang Zhiqing means. I apologize for my intrusion!"
After Mu Tianye finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving Jiang Xile even a glance.
Jiang Xile didn't care; she didn't want to see Mu Tianye's sullen face, acting all high and mighty.
Anyone who didn't know him would think he was incredibly capable, but he's actually nothing special!
With Duan Chengyu preceding him and Mu Tianye following him, the other male educated youths who had been paying close attention to Jiang Xile's situation also felt a pang of sympathy.
Winning Jiang Xile's favor is no easy task!
This woman is not only skilled in martial arts, but also quick-witted and not stupid; she's not easy to fool.
Walking at the back of the group, Duan Nianzhen watched as one male comrade after another fawned over Jiang Xile, and she was filled with intense jealousy.
But there's nothing I can do, and I don't know why, she just doesn't attract any suitors.
She's been working in the countryside for two years now, and she hasn't been in a relationship yet, not even had a suitor.
This is why Li Hongwei was able to easily get close to Duan Nianzhen.
It was rare to find a man who was so attentive to her, taking care of her in every way, and speaking so sweetly to her.
So even though he got married and had a partner, Duan Nianzhen couldn't bear to shut him out.
Little did she know that this would later cause Duan Nianzhen countless days and nights of regret and unbearable pain.
Finally arriving at the destination, no longer worried about being approached by others, Jiang Xile picked up her tools and headed straight for her mission site.
Unexpectedly, while she was working diligently, a young man suddenly appeared beside her.
With dark skin, an honest face, and a short stature, his appearance can only be described as average.
"Hello, Jiang Zhiqing, I'm Zhao Dagou. You must be exhausted. Let me help you with the work!"
Before Jiang Xile could speak, Zhao Dagou picked up a hoe and was about to strike when Jiang Xile, realizing what was happening, quickly stopped him.
"Stop, stop! Stop! I don't even know you. What are you doing here? I don't need anyone's help. Get out of here!"
“Jiang Zhiqing, didn’t I tell you? My name is Zhao Dagou. Although we only officially met today, I’ve been following you for a long time.”
I have no siblings, only an elderly mother. Don't worry, if you marry me, I will treat you very well!
"What nonsense are you spouting? Who wants to marry you? Get out of here right now! What kind of person are you? Are you out of your mind?!"
"Jiang Zhiqing, I came here to help you out of kindness, how could you say that to me!"
I know my family is poor, and you look down on people like me, but you can't trample on my sincerity like this!
"Goodness, not only is your face dark, but your heart is also quite dark. You were just waiting for me here, weren't you!"
Do you really think I'm some naive young girl who thinks you're right just because you cry and complain a little?
Jiang Xile never expected that she would be caught in the crossfire while she was standing in the field. This person who came to cause trouble for no reason looked like an honest and simple man, but was actually a green tea bitch.
The two made quite a commotion, and soon attracted the attention of many people, especially the gossipy aunties in the field.
Jiang Xile knew that if this matter wasn't handled properly, it could easily damage her reputation.
Although she herself didn't care much, the times and society cared, so Jiang Xile had to pay attention.
