When Jiang Wan heard that she was going to write a letter, she said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll help you write it when I'm done with my work these two days."
Feng Xiujuan said: "Then I would like to thank Sister Xiaowan first."
Feng Xiujuan looked down on Xu Zhaodi, but she was still polite to Jiang Wan.
Xu Zhaodi ate half a radish, then ate the beef jerky that Jiang Wan gave her, and drank some cold water. She felt very full.
After Chen Jianguo finished his work at noon, he came to see Xu Zhaodi. He was wearing a washed-out vest and his face was sunburned.
He was holding a straw hat in his hand and saw Xu Zhaodi wearing it on her head.
Chen Jianguo slumped down next to Xu Zhaodi and took out a bag of raspberries from under the clothes draped over his arm.
The raspberries were carried in small baskets made from wild cottonwood leaves.
Xu Zhaodi asked, "What is this?"
"Raspberries are edible. Try some."
Xu Zhaodi tasted one and found it very sweet, much better than the one Xiao Xueyan gave her.
Seeing Xiao Xueyan looking at her eagerly, Xu Zhaodi waved and said, "Xueyan, come here."
As soon as Xiao Xueyan came over, Xu Zhaodi handed her the raspberries.
"Your Uncle Chen picked these, you can eat them."
Feng Xueyan glanced at Chen Jianguo before taking it.
Xu Zhaodi said, "You guys eat together."
"Thank you, Auntie."
After Feng Xueyan walked away, Chen Jianguo said, "Someone will bring lunch over later, so just eat something."
Xu Zhaodi said: "I am full. I ate half a carrot and a lot of cakes."
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "That's good."
Xu Zhaodi glanced at Chen Jianguo's shoulder. She didn't know how much strength he had used, but there was a red area on his shoulder that looked like the skin was about to peel off.
Xu Zhaodi saw this but didn't say anything. Chen Jianguo said, "I'm busy this afternoon. You guys can come back early after you're done."
"knew."
Chen Jianguo sat for a while, and seeing that the villagers were staring at them, he felt embarrassed.
As soon as Chen Jianguo left, the women in the village asked, "Sister, this guy just now is your husband, right?"
Xu Zhihui smiled and said, "Yes."
"Oh, girl, you are so lucky. Your man really cares about you. If my man saw raspberries, he would definitely eat them all by himself. He would never give them to the children, let alone me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other women in the village laughed.
Xu Zhaodi was too embarrassed to smile. Holding hands with someone was considered hooliganism. They should keep a low profile.
Among such a large group of women, only Chen Jianguo came to see his women.
Not long after Chen Jianguo left, Zhang Qingdong came with a kettle.
When Jiang Wan saw him, he immediately lowered his head, no longer having the happiness he had before.
The two were silent for a while, and Zhang Qingdong said, "You didn't bring a kettle when you left this morning, so I brought it to you."
Jiang Wan ate half a carrot and didn't want to drink any water at all. It wasn't that she wasn't thirsty, but there was no place to go to the toilet. The mountain was full of people, and even if she wanted to find a toilet, she would have to walk a long way, which she found troublesome.
Jiang Wan said: "I'm not thirsty, you can take it."
Zhang Qingdong's hand, which was stretched out in the air, retracted again. He quietly put the kettle aside and turned to leave.
The women asked, "Girl, is this your husband?"
Jiang Wan blushed and said, "This is my brother."
Xu Zhaodi was stunned when she heard this. That brat Zhang Qingdong really hurt Jiang Wan's heart. If it were usual, she would definitely smile and tell others that she was Zhang Qingdong's fiancée, but she didn't say that today.
Feng Xiujuan was also confused. Wasn't Jiang Wan Zhang Qingdong's fiancée? When did she become his sister?
Feng Xiujuan also asked Jiang Wan to write a letter to her, but she didn't ask the questions in her heart.
The woman in the village asked, "Does your brother have a girlfriend? I have a pretty sister. How about I be a matchmaker for them?"
Jiang Wan...
Someone beside him laughed and said, "Your abacus is so loud that the beads are flying all over my face."
"Of course I do. I definitely want to keep the wealth within the family."
This made everyone laugh, except Jiang Wan.
Zhang Qingdong is a handsome man, so there should be many people who like him.
Xu Zhaodi joked, "Don't even think about it, big sister. He already has a fiancée."
The elder sister said: "Oh, there is nothing we can do about it."
Jiang Wan secretly glanced at Xu Zhaodi.
Jiang Wan was in a bad mood the whole afternoon and just focused on his work.
When Zhang Qingdong was plowing the field in the afternoon, his comrade asked, "Old Zhang, I heard that the girl who played the accordion that night was your distant cousin, right? Does she have a boyfriend? If not, can you be a matchmaker and introduce her to me?"
Zhang Qingdong's expression turned cold, and he looked at the people around him from head to toe.
"You are the only one who wants to eat the swan meat. She has a fiancé."
"But they haven't gotten married yet, so I have plenty of opportunities."
"Don't dream."
After hearing the conversation between the two men, Chen Jianguo, who was standing by, looked at Zhang Qingdong for a second longer.
You said he likes Jiang Wan, but doesn't want anyone to stay here.
You say he doesn't like Jiang Wan, but he doesn't allow others to like her.
What is this called?
He is an experienced person. If Zhang Qingdong dares to say that he has no feelings for Jiang Wan, Chen Jianguo will be the first one who does not believe it.
The comrade next to him said, "Brother, just be a middleman and introduce your sister to me.
I'm already 24 and still don't have a wife. I finally found one I like, so please help me."
Zhang Qingdong slapped the boy on the back of his head and said, "Get lost, you little brat have high standards."
Chen Jianguo kicked the man on the butt and said, "Don't even think about hitting her. That girl is famous and well-known."
The young comrade looked regretful.
"Why can't I have anything good? When will God give me a wife?"
This group of people don’t know the relationship between Zhang Qingdong and Jiang Wan, but Jiang Dahai and others know.
Jiang Dahai said, "Don't think about it for now. Save up your steel keys first. When you have money, you will have everything."
The young comrade was dejected. Zhang Qingdong felt upset when he thought of Jiang Wan's unhappy look at noon.
I shouldn't have said those words earlier. Now they are making it look like they are arguing.
Zhang Qingdong felt uncomfortable, and in order to vent his anger, he had to work hard.
Jiang Wan also made himself very tired.
Xu Zhaodi and her colleagues only finished work after the sun set.
After a day of pain all over their bodies, a group of old ladies with bound feet in the village sat on the ground, untied their trouser legs, stuffed radishes into their trouser legs, and then tied the trouser legs up again.
Xu Zhaodi was extremely shocked when she saw this scene.
Not only the old lady is like this, many women in the village are like this.
When Jiang Wan saw this, his jaw almost dropped.
Xu Zhaodi didn't say anything, so Jiang Wan didn't say much either.
When the two of them were going down the mountain, Jiang Wan leaned close to Xu Zhaodi's ear and said, "Sister, did you see them stealing radishes?"
Xu Zhaodi said, "It's not easy for them either. Let's go quickly. We still have to cook."
Xu Zhaodi felt tired just thinking about it, and now she just wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.
