Two days later, early in the morning, just after daybreak, an ox cart was parked on the main road at the entrance of the village. Grandpa Liu, who was driving the cart, was squatting on the side of the road, smoking out of boredom.
"Old Liu, it's time to go!" Someone in the car urged him.
"Yes, yes. If we don't leave now it will be almost noon and we won't be able to get back for lunch." The villagers would go to the town in the morning and come back at noon, rushing back for lunch.
"I'm in a hurry to buy some cloth. There's a bargain today. One cloth coupon can buy two. If I don't go now, they'll be gone!"
"What are you waiting for, Lao Liu?"
Mr. Liu stood up, tapped his old cigarette, and said slowly: "Why are you in such a hurry? There's no time to waste. The car isn't full yet."
"Why isn't the bus full? It's almost full!" The people on the bus were smart too. They didn't want to wait and get crowded, so they urged him to leave quickly.
Song Wei Zheng leaned against the outermost side of the ox cart with his eyes half closed, sitting quietly without saying a word.
"Master! Master! Don't go yet, wait for me!" At this time, a bright shout came from far away, accompanied by heavy gasps due to exhaustion and shortness of breath.
Song Wei Zheng, who had been silent, suddenly raised his eyes and looked forward.
Jiang Sui Sui ran out of breath with a basket of eggs in her arms, fearing that she would miss the bus. The village only had one oxcart to take everyone to the town.
Jiang Suinsui has never left the village since her rebirth. When she woke up in the morning, she specifically asked Grandma Jiang how to get to the village entrance.
"Don't forget to play. Come back quickly as it's almost noon, okay?" Grandma Jiang looked at her with some concern, but she still stuffed fifty cents into her pocket before she left.
"I know, I know." Jiang Suinsui patted his chest to assure him, then went out excitedly.
Grandma Jiang looked at her back as she happily left and sighed, "Ah, after biting the water, I feel like I'm going backwards. Fortunately, there's Song Weizheng who can take care of her, otherwise I'd be really afraid that she'd get lost!"
Jiang Suinsui, who went out happily, didn't expect that the distance to the village entrance was quite far. She walked a long way, climbed a slope, and passed through a long mountain forest path before she reached the village entrance.
As soon as she walked out, Jiang Suinsui, who was so tired that she began to breathe heavily, discovered that the ox cart not far away was already full of people, and the master driving the cart also stood up, as if he was ready to set off.
Jiang Suisui quickly waved and called out, "Master! Master! Don't leave yet, wait for me!"
She ran to the oxcart at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, holding the egg basket in one hand and supporting her knees with the other. She took two breaths, raised her head and took a closer look.
Hey! Isn't this Song Weizheng?
Jiang Suisui had just finished sprinting, and she was a little confused. She asked dazedly, "Why is it you?"
Song Weizheng glanced at her red cheeks, which were puffy from running, and said calmly, "Why don't you get in the car?"
"Oh! Get in the car, get in the car." Jiang Suishun responded while preparing to get in the car.
However……
"Well..." she said blankly, "Where should I sit?" It seemed that all the available seats in the car were taken.
She looked up and found that everyone else on the oxcart was looking at her in wonder. Jiang Suishun shrank her neck slightly, a little confused.
She turned to look at Song Weizheng, the only person she was familiar with here, and looked at him for help.
Fortunately, Song Weizheng received her signal, jumped out of the car with his long legs, showing a little empty space at the rear of the car, and gestured, "Get in."
Jiang Suishun immediately looked grateful: "Thank you!"
"But... I'm sitting, where are you going to sit?" She hesitated.
Song Weizheng paused and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a group of scattered footsteps behind him.
Jiang Suisui turned around when she heard the voice and saw several young people who were obviously different from the villagers in temperament and appearance walking towards them, talking and laughing. The leader of them was a young man with acne all over his face, pushing a bicycle.
Jiang Suishun's eyes suddenly lit up. Bicycles are big items these days! How could someone in this village buy a bicycle? A wealthy family?
The group of young people stopped in front of the oxcart. The pimple-faced man pushing the bicycle looked at the oxcart and the people on it with disdain and said to the girl beside him, "Comrade Wanyue, this oxcart... is not suitable for ordinary people. How about I take you to the town?"
Li Wanyue's face, which was originally full of laughter, froze when she saw the bullock cart full of people. After hearing what the pimple man said, she immediately smiled and said, "Comrade Jiacheng, I'll trouble you then."
Wu Jiacheng got a smile from the beautiful woman, and he felt lighthearted. "No trouble, no trouble."
Then, Li Wanyue turned her head and looked behind her, saying apologetically, "Comrade Zhiwen, my family has sent a package, and I'm in a hurry to pick it up. I can only take a ride with Comrade Jiacheng first. Sorry."
Jiang Suisui understood that these people were probably educated youth who went to the countryside. Many of them came from wealthy families, so it was no wonder they could afford bicycles.
Zhiwen... Could it be the supporting male character Shen Zhiwen?
She suddenly became curious and leaned her head forward to look around, wanting to see what the scumbag male supporting role in the book looked like.
Song Wei Zheng stood aside, watching her shaking her head left and right as she tried to stretch it forward, his expression becoming increasingly cold.
At this time, Shen Zhiwen came forward, wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He looked like a scholar, gentle and refined, and his appearance was just decent.
Jiang Suisui was a little disappointed, but Song Weizheng was good-looking after all, so he should be the male lead!
Then Shen Zhiwen adjusted his glasses and said with a gentle smile, "It's okay, you guys go first. I also need to accompany a few friends."
Li Wanyue looked at the "friends" around him, her expression was a bit indescribable, she forced a smile and said, "Then be careful on the road, we will meet up in town."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards Wu Jiacheng, leaned sideways, and sat on the back seat of the bicycle gracefully and calmly.
Wu Jiacheng held his head high, chest puffed out, and rode away with the girl on the back seat looking very proud.
At this time, Jiang Suisui also saw the friends that Shen Zhiwen mentioned, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
It was them! How did Jiang Miaomiao get together with Shen Zhiwen again? And with Zhang Wenfang and Li Daidi?
As the heroine, shouldn't she be close to the hero?
Jiang Suinsui secretly raised her eyes and glanced at the male protagonist Song Weizheng beside her. Song Weizheng noticed her gaze and gave her a faint glance. Jiang Suinsui quickly retracted her gaze.
Jiang Miaomiao, who was on the opposite side, was so angry that she gritted her teeth when she saw the interaction between the two people.
Shameless, a loser, a vixen! Jiang Miaomiao cursed a lot in her mind.
If Jiang Suishun hadn't clung to Song Weizheng, would she have made no progress yet?
Although they were not married yet, Song Wei Zheng was now equivalent to a "married man". If she approached him a little and wanted to talk to him, she would be pointed at. Not to mention that Song Wei Zheng had a cold face every day, and she would be frozen by his cheerful smile.
No matter what she said to him, his answers were always "um", "oh", "no", "no", "I don't know", never a word more. If she said too much, she would be rejected. Song Weizheng's wrinkled eyebrows and dark eyes were telling her clearly that he was very troubled.
Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but roll her eyes to the sky, and then looked at Shen Zhiwen who was chatting and laughing with Zhang Wenfang and Li Daidi. She had to admit that Song Weizheng was a far cry from Shen Zhiwen in terms of pleasing girls.
No matter if he was a beautiful and proud female educated youth or a shabby country girl, he would treat them all equally and tenderly. When you talked to him, he would look you in the eyes seriously, as if he was listening wholeheartedly. Country girls who had never seen the world would often fall completely from the moment they made eye contact with him.
Jiang Miaomiao looked at Zhang Wenfang's blushing face and Li Daidi who was rubbing her clothes nervously, and couldn't help but feel a little sad as an experienced person: young people are naive.
She had been too lazy to dedicate herself to Shen Zhiwen since her rebirth. This time, in order to build a bridge between Zhang Wenfang and Li Daidi, she went to the educated youth site for the first time yesterday.
When I went there, I saw Shen Zhiwen squatting in the yard, scrubbing his only pair of leather shoes. There were mud spots all over them, and the brush was too hard. Shen Zhiwen didn't dare to use force, fearing that he would damage the shoes, so he could only scrub them slowly. His hair, which he usually combed up, was hanging down drooping, not as bright and shiny as it was when he was out. There was also a basin of unwashed clothes next to him, piled up in the basin.
Jiang Miaomiao sneered in her heart. She used to do this kind of work. After she had admired Shen Zhiwen's savage look for a long time, she reached out and knocked hard on the gate.
Shen Zhiwen was awakened by the knock on the door. He quickly put down his brush and leather shoes, and straightened his hair and collar when he stood up. Then he looked up and froze.
The next moment, a smile of surprise appeared on his face: "Miaomiao? You're here?"
Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little proud. If Shen Zhiwen had this attitude in her life, she would be so happy. Now, humph, I don't care anymore!
Compared to Shen Zhiwen's joy, Jiang Miaomiao just said calmly: "Shen Zhiqing, are you busy? Is it convenient to talk now?"
"It's convenient, of course it's convenient." Shen Zhiwen smiled, "Miao Miao, you, you haven't been here for a long time... Is there something wrong at home?"
Jiang Miaomiao said expressionlessly, "Nothing much, I'm just busy harvesting crops and don't have time to run around."
Shen Zhiwen nodded: "Indeed, it's the busy farming season recently, and the workload is really heavy. We have a lot of work to do here at the educated youth camp, and everyone is exhausted from going out early and returning late all day long."
"Look," he pointed at his basin of clothes and said with a smile, "I've been so busy that I don't even have time to wash my clothes. Look, I'm running out of clothes to change into, so I have to find time to wash them."
"Unfortunately, I still have some work to do. I don't think I can finish washing before dark. Oh..." He sighed and then looked at Jiang Miaomiao, "I'm sorry to embarrass you. I'm a grown man and I'm not very good at this kind of housework."
Pooh!
Jiang Miaomiao spat in her heart. What are you not good at? Why is she sighing? Why is she pretending to be pitiful? Isn't it just that he wants her to help him wash? Dream on! It's wishful thinking! She is not stupid anymore!
Jiang Miaomiao laughed, ignoring his expectant gaze, and said, "I remember you said before that you would go to the town to buy books next time you get together, right?"
"...Ah," Shen Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I am going to..."
"I have two little sisters," Jiang Miaomiao smiled. "Although they are from the countryside, they also want to buy a book to learn some knowledge. We are going to go to the town together tomorrow. I thought of you, Shen Zhiqing. You are an educated person and know a lot. Can you help introduce them? They will definitely be very happy."
