Chapter 54 What's it to you?
Fu Jingyou's background is easily criticized, and he has no chance of making mistakes.
Worried that Fu Jingyou, young and impulsive, might accidentally go astray, Chen Guifen gave him a particularly subtle warning:
"We don't seek wealth, but we seek stability. We must be steady and down-to-earth. We must not do anything that we can't do. Do you understand?"
Fu Jingyou responded, "I know everything."
Chen Guifen breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, "Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'm going home."
"Okay, take care, Auntie."
Watching Chen Guifen walk away, Fu Jingyou lowered his deep brows, a heavy feeling sinking in his heart. Although he knew this road was difficult and destined to be a heavy burden, he never imagined that the pressure in his heart would be greater than the actual resistance to action...
…
Lu Miao carried a small bamboo basket and jogged back to the educated youth site, humming a tune along the way.
Gu Ying and her friends had just returned from picking mushrooms in the mountains. When the two groups met at the door, they were both stunned.
"Lu Miao, you just came back?"
Lu Miao nodded and lied casually, "Yeah, it was raining today, and a few young women in the team didn't go to the fields. I chatted with them for a while... Where did you go? What's in the basket on your back?"
"It's mushrooms, little cat, take a look!" Geng Xiaoyun leaned over and tilted the basket on his back to show Lu Miao, "How is it? Is this harvest good? Do you want to take some pies?"
The basket was filled with three clusters of mushrooms, one layer on top of the other. At first glance, it looked like they weighed at least ten pounds.
This is just Geng Xiaoyun's basket. Gu Ying and Ren Bingxin also have baskets on their shoulders. I think they have gained something.
"Happy people, happy people."
Lu Miao nodded in agreement. Although he roughly understood what Geng Xiaoyun meant, he still couldn't help but pout and said:
"Geng Xiaoyun, could you please use less of your dialect next time? What's with the word 'pie' or 'pie'? This time I can barely guess what you mean, but next time I won't understand."
"Oh, I didn't notice that. I'll definitely pay attention next time!"
Geng Xiaoyun is a generous person. He patted his forehead and laughed:
"Don't feel embarrassed. Sometimes I talk too fast and can't remember what I said. If you don't understand, you must tell me like Lu Xiaomao, otherwise it will really affect our relationship later."
Gu Ying laughed and shook her head, then walked ahead into the house:
"It's not a big deal. Sometimes I just don't understand what you say, but judging by your expression and tone, I can probably guess what you mean."
We all come from all corners of the world, and it's normal to speak fast and with a hometown accent. In the past, we thought it was harmless, so no one talked about it.
When Lu Miao mentioned it today, the girls chatted about it for a while.
Gu Ying and the others went into the house, put down their hats and the bamboo poles they used to dig through the dry grass to find mushrooms, poured themselves some water and rested for a while, then picked up their backpacks and walked out again.
The path to the pond was muddy and difficult to walk on. Gu Ying and her friends were going to the well behind the educated youth site to wash mushrooms.
Lu Miao followed behind and chatted to join in the fun, and took the green apricots to wash them so that he could DIY them when he came back later.
Everyone at the educated youth site was accustomed to and accepted Lu Miao's pampered nature. Although Lu Miao had a hot temper, in everyone's mind, she was always regarded as a weak position.
When treating Lu Miao, everyone couldn't help but treat her like their own younger sister, subconsciously taking care of her.
For example, when washing mushrooms, Geng Xiaoyun mentioned that Lu Miao was picky and said that they had picked a lot of mushrooms, so when lunch was ready, Lu Miao could eat more mushrooms to change his taste.
When Chen Miaomiao heard this, her face instantly fell in displeasure.
She also had her share of the mushrooms that were picked, and she had traveled through mountains and rivers today to pick mushrooms. She was almost exhausted, and she slipped twice on the way. There was a bloody hole in her palm caused by the stones in the mountains, and it was still bleeding!
She hadn't even taken a bite of the mushroom yet. Why should Lu Miao, who didn't participate in the labor, come out and enjoy the fruits of labor as if it were his right?
Chen Miaomiao was indignant and was about to say something when she saw Lu Miao withdraw his hand from the washing sink and wave it in the air. "No need. I just had dinner a while ago and I'm not hungry. You guys can just eat."
Her green and white hands were still covered with water droplets, making them look even more translucent and tender. Chen Miaomiao stared at them for a long time, feeling both envious and jealous, and also feeling a tightness in her chest.
Lu Miao's rejection left Chen Miaomiao with a thorn in her throat.
If Lu Miao ate the mushrooms, Chen Miaomiao would feel uncomfortable, but now Lu Miao has clearly refused, and Chen Miaomiao also feels uncomfortable.
We all picked the mushrooms together, and she refused to eat them even though we invited her. What's going on? Is she trying to act so noble?
Everyone was laughing and chatting about their own things, and no one noticed that Chen Miaomiao had an unusual expression.
Ren Bingxin noticed the fruit Lu Miao was washing, and immediately put down the mushrooms she was washing. She curiously leaned over and asked, "Miaomiao, what is this? Where did you get it?"
"It's a green apricot. I ate at a commune member's house today and they gave it to me when I came back. Do you want to try it? It's quite sour."
Lu Miao actively shared and handed a green apricot to Ren Bingxin. Seeing Gu Ying looking up at her, she also handed one to her.
The green apricots had just been washed with well water and felt cold in the hand.
The color looks very sour, but this green apricot seems to have magic, making people salivate between their lips and teeth, and they can't help but want to take a bite to taste it.
Ren Bingxin couldn't wait to take a big bite, but in just two seconds, her neck stretched straight, her eyes seemed to be neither closed nor rolled, in short, she squatted there with a frown on her face, shivering.
Seeing that she was so jealous that she looked even more embarrassed than herself, Lu Miao couldn't help but burst out laughing. Just as she was about to make a joke, she was suddenly hit by someone. If Ren Bingxin hadn't been squatting on the other side, she would have definitely sat down in the mud.
Looking back, it was Chen Miaomiao.
Lu Miao looked unhappy, "What are you doing?"
"Haha, Lu Miao..."
Chen Miaomiao's face was full of smiles, and there was no trace of the indignation she had just felt. She leaned close to Lu Miao and asked:
"Lu Miao, have you found a family to share your meals with? Which family is it? How are the money and food coupons calculated?"
The words "What's it to you?" were stuck in Lu Miao's throat. She leaned towards Ren Bingxin. Ren Bingxin thought she was not squatting steadily and hurried to support her.
Ren Bingxin would never have thought that Lu Miao was intoxicated by Chen Miaomiao's breath.
Chen Miaomiao spoke in a very harsh tone. To be honest, Lu Miao was a little disgusted, but considering that she was a girl and saying such things to her face would easily hurt her self-esteem, Lu Miao didn't say anything.
Lu Miao looked up and down at Chen Miaomiao without answering her question. After a while, he looked away and continued talking to Ren Bingxin.
Chen Miaomiao's face froze. She had wanted to endure it, but when she saw Lu Miao ignored her, she turned around and laughed happily with Ren Bingxin. Her attitude was too obvious!
