Chapter 7 I Want to Go Too

After a bumpy ride in the car and a long section of mountain road, Hang Jingshu's face was rosy from the setting sun. Wang Silan was also happy to hear her daughter say this.

The clothes she was sewing were the new clothes she had made for Hang Jingshu these past two days, a sky blue cloth shirt with orchid flowers.

The movie "Red Skirts Are Popular on the Street" has not been released yet, and the streets are still filled with simple colors.

Hang Jingshu recalled that crazy year. Because of a movie, red skirts became a fashion item, and even red hairpins, red bags, red hats, and red shoes became popular.

Next up are bell bottoms and sunglasses…

Hang Jingshu shook off the non-existent goose bumps on his body. Simple and plain is still the best.

Wang Silan put away the corner of her clothes and sewed the thread inside. She looked up and saw her daughter's face was sunburned and red. "Oh, my daughter, I told you to wear a straw hat, but look at you."

Hang Jingshu had just washed his face when he came in. The sun was already very strong in the dog days of summer. If it weren't for his good skin, his dark and red face would have been really unbearable to look at.

From the perspective of aesthetics in later generations, Hang Jingshu knew that this was called wheat-colored skin, and that some young people looked good in the European and American style.

In fact, neither of her parents are dark-skinned, so Hang Jingshu is naturally not that dark either. Her body is quite white, except for her face, which has been tanned in the past few years.

Hang Jingshu has been helping his family with housework since he was young and walking back and forth on the mountain road to go to school. He has no requirements for his skin color, as long as he is healthy.

Wang Silan looked very worried. Every family said that the daughters of the eldest daughter should be fair and pretty, but her own daughter was dark-skinned. What should she do in the future?

"Mom, I won't go to school this time, maybe I can get some protection back," Hang Jingshu applied some vanishing cream after washing his face. In the hot summer, it felt greasy if he applied too much, so he only applied a thin layer.

The sun sets, the evening breeze blows gently, and the shadows of the trees sway in the small courtyard. Hang Jingshu and his brother sit under a tree to enjoy the cool air.

Wang Silan heard that her daughter had to go to work tomorrow, so of course she was reluctant to let her cook today. Hang Jingshu originally wanted to help, but Wang Silan refused to let him, so she had to compromise in the end.

Hang Chenggang went to receive the admission notice today, and it was a double blessing for the whole family.

Today I am happy to eat cold noodles, diced potatoes, eggplant salsa, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, topped with some freshly fried chili oil, which is cool and refreshing.

When Hang Renshan came back from his job as a laborer, he was delighted to hear that his daughter had found such a good job.

As for the profession of nanny, it is actually most popular among people in their thirties and forties. It took Hang Jingshu a lifetime to come to terms with this.

The next day, Hang Jingshu woke up to the crowing of roosters. In the countryside, the rooster is the alarm clock. As soon as the sky gets light, people listen for it. Every household starts to make noises.

Because the time was agreed upon, Hang Jingshu was able to have lunch at home. Wang Silan wiped away a few tears while packing clothes for her daughter.

He gave the young lady another ten dollars, which was the only surplus money left in the family.

Hang Jingshu gets up in the morning and goes to his own garden to pick vegetables. The temperature is most comfortable at this time. The small cucumbers with flowers and thorns on the top can be picked and eaten directly after wiping them.

There are a lot of beans and loofahs, as well as tomatoes and eggplants waiting to be served. We only pick the tender tips of lettuce to eat, and we can't finish them all.

As the saying goes, "eat dumplings when you get on the bus and noodles when you get off." Hang Jingshu picked a gourd from the yard and prepared to make dumplings with it for lunch.

At this time, Mo Xiaojuan's ghost came again.

Hang Jingshu's feelings towards her are a bit complicated. In her previous life, she always used herself as a gun and even jumped to the point of repeating herself.

Although her willfulness is a flaw, she is not a good person either.

Sometimes Hang Jingshu wondered why she knew it was a good idea to be a nanny in a compound?

Could it be that she also has some chance?

Hang Jingshu saw Mo Xiaojuan approaching and couldn't hold back his gaze for a moment, causing Mo Xiaojuan to freeze in place. Hang Jingshu calmed down and continued speaking as usual, "Xiaojuan, what are you doing here so early?"

"That... Hei, no, Ni, I just came here to ask, did you find any job when you went to the county yesterday?" Mo Xiaojuan originally wanted to call her Hei Ni, but seeing the expression of the person opposite her, she changed her name.

The look in Hang Heini's eyes just now seemed to indicate that she knew something...

Facing Mo Xiaojuan, who was somewhat guilty and eager, Hang Jingshu did not hide anything, "Oh, my sister recommended a job to me, it's pretty good."

Hang Jingshu had lived a lifetime, so he naturally knew how to say things so that people would be embarrassed to ask again.

Mo Xiaojuan had heard some rumors, and seeing that Hang Jingshu was not at all willing, she was very anxious: "You really don't want to repeat your studies? Just let your brother go to college? Isn't your family favoring boys over girls?"

Hang Jingshu put the gourd in the basket and looked Mo Xiaojuan up and down with an unfriendly look. "You didn't go to school after graduating from elementary school, and you said that my family favors boys over girls?"

Mo Xiaojuan was speechless after being rebuked, "No, Ni, you are such a good student, it's such a pity to go out to work!"

"What a pity! I'm still young. I can work for two years and save some money, then I'll have the confidence to do anything." Hang Jingshu practiced Tai Chi with Mo Xiaojuan calmly. Anyway, the work matter had been settled, and she wanted to see what was going on with Mo Xiaojuan.

When Mo Xiaojuan heard what Hang Jingshu said, she pursed her lips tightly, looking very unwilling. How come this girl suddenly became so smart!

I excited her so much, but she didn't even tell me what she did for a living. This is different from usual.

Could it be that this person's personality really changed after he died once?

In fact, Hang Jingshu was overthinking it. No matter in the previous life or this life, Mo Xiaojuan simply didn't want Hang Jingshu to live comfortably.

Mo Xiaojuan knew that working as a nanny in the city's military district was a good thing, so she wanted to seize this opportunity.

In addition, apart from being a little jealous of Hang Jingshu, Mo Xiaojuan is also a down-to-earth and hardworking person. Although she is not very good at cooking, she is also motivated.

Having been influenced by the military compound, it is not surprising that Mo Xiaojuan can make a fortune as long as she studies hard and faces such kind old people.

In his previous life, Hang Jingshu was raised by his family to be simple-minded and naive. After his rebirth, some things naturally became different.

Mo Xiaojuan has been jealous of Hang Jingshu since she was a child. They are both girls, so why was she able to be spoiled by her older sisters and brothers all the way to high school?

The boys in the class also like to talk to her, and this black girl has such good academic performance.

The relationship between the children of the Mo family is completely different from that of the Hang family. The eldest sister Mo was born early and usually likes to order her younger brothers and sisters to do work.

As the youngest in the family, she was not allowed to go to primary school by her family. However, Hang Jingshu was able to go to high school and someone even found a good job for her!

He is so heartless all day long, getting tanned and having no idea what he is happy about!

Seeing that Hang Jingshu was not falling for it, Mo Xiaojuan simply gave up and said directly: "Ni, what job did my elder sister find for you in the county? Are they still hiring? I want to go too."
