Chapter 14: Educated Youth Can't Do It
Shen Xiaoyue fanned herself with her hands, trying to blow away the heat on her face. She seldom did this kind of thing. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was actually extremely nervous.
"By the way, Xiaoyue, why were you with Comrade Lu just now?"
Although she thought it was a coincidence, Hu Qingqing couldn't control her curiosity. What if?
Shen Xiaoyue felt that they were still not even close to each other, and it would be bad for their reputation if the news got out. If Lu Ping'an heard about it, he would be very angry. She said vaguely: "...We just happened to meet."
"I guess so."
"But Comrade Lu is really handsome, and he looks even better when you look at him up close. He doesn't look like Secretary Lu at all. Even if you say he is a young master in the city, no one will believe it."
Hu Qingqing sighed, she had never seen anyone so handsome in the city, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Moreover, their skin is whiter and tenderer than that of the male educated youth at the educated youth center. After being exposed to the scorching sun for some time, everyone has become much darker and looks older in an instant.
Hu Qingqing turned her head and took a look. Oh, even Shen Zhiqing had become a little darker. Although not as exaggerated as theirs, she felt a little comforted.
Speaking of this, Hu Qingqing suddenly remembered.
"Xiaoyue, let's go learn how to weave straw hats. If we continue to be exposed to the sun like this, even our parents won't recognize us when we return to the city."
"I'm now afraid I won't be able to find myself in the dark."
Shen Xiaoyue was amused by her and promised Hu Qingqing that she would go with her to learn how to weave straw hats when she was free.
"Xiaoyue, you're back."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked to the door, and saw Xie Ning standing there, looking at Shen Xiaoyue with a smile.
Then he glanced to the side, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Hu Qingqing tactfully entered the room first. Well, it was something she was not worthy of hearing.
Xie Ning moved closer, and lowered his voice deliberately, fearing that others would hear him: "Xiaoyue, I heard that there will be a quota for returning to the city at the end of this year."
Tsk, maybe people are just mean.
In the past, she had taken the initiative to take care of Xie Ning, but she rarely received a good face from them, let alone Xie Ning condescending to reveal the news to her.
When she first learned that Xie Ning was returning to the city, he had already packed his luggage!
She was still staring at Lu Ping'an.
Now that she ignores him, her treatment has improved. She deserves to hear first-hand information.
She got better too.
Shen Xiaoyue cooperated and showed a little joy.
Xie Ning strikes while the iron is hot.
"Xiaoyue, what I told you yesterday..."
Shen Xiaoyue blinked her eyes: "Brother Xie Ning, I thought about it carefully. I was young and ignorant before. We will still be good siblings in the future."
Xie Ning choked, what good brother and sister they are.
Didn’t she even listen to Uncle Shen’s words?
He lowered his eyes and thought to himself that it had been a while since he had written home.
…
"Brother Ping An!"
As soon as he stepped into the house, Lu Ping'an heard a cute greeting. He looked up and saw a woman who looked familiar, but he didn't know her.
Lu Ping'an took a few steps back hesitantly, scanning the door again and again, and finally confirmed that it was his own home.
I didn’t go the wrong way. Where did this person come from?
Not seeing anyone else in the family, he asked impatiently, "Who are you?"
Seeing the girl, who was about the same age as him, lowered her head shyly, she dared to look up at him quietly and answered in a low voice: "Brother Ping'an, I am Erya."
Liu Erya is from the next village and has relatives here. In addition, her parents are old acquaintances of Wu Qingyun, so she has come to the Lu family several times.
The first time Liu Erya saw Lu Ping'an, she fell in love with him. However, the next few times when she came with her parents, Lu Ping'an was either out collecting bird eggs or going to the county town, and they seldom had the chance to meet.
What one duck, two ducks? Lu Ping'an felt very annoyed when he thought about that bad woman going to see another man just when she was about to kiss him.
As a result, he lost his good attitude towards this person who appeared in his house out of nowhere.
"Oh, come and look for my parents. They are not here. You can go back first."
When Liu Erya heard this, her face turned pale and red.
The sound is like a mosquito, thin and not very clear.
"Brother Ping An, I came here specially to see you."
Lu Pingan frowned, very puzzled, "Why are you looking at me? I'm nothing good to look at."
Liu Erya bit her lip, thinking about the purpose of coming today, and mustered up the courage to say, "Brother Ping'an, I have liked you for a long time."
Lu Ping'an seemed to have heard a huge joke, "Like me? I don't even know you."
After saying that, he walked into the house.
One Shen Xiaoyue was enough for him to handle, and if there was another one, he would be so angry that he would die.
Liu Erya was shy and had never heard such blunt words before. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
She didn't give up and wanted to chase him. Her mother said that the Lu family was well-off, Lu Ping'an was favored, Lu's father was the village party secretary, Lu's mother was kind and an old acquaintance, and he had two older brothers. If she married into the family, she would enjoy a good life.
Her mother knew what she was thinking and supported her very much. Today, not only did she come, but her mother also came to find out what Mother Lu thought.
Just at this moment Wu Qingyun walked in and was a little surprised to see this scene.
"Er Ya, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Erya was like seeing a savior, "Aunt, I'm here to see Brother Ping An."
Wu Qingyun thought about what his friend had just said to him, and understood a little. He smiled and said, "Erya, Ping'an is a stubborn child. Don't mind it. Go back with your parents today, and I'll go talk to him."
Liu Erya nodded shyly. With her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, it would not be difficult for her to enter the Lu family after passing Lu's mother's test.
Wu Qingyun walked into the room and saw Lu Pingan sitting in a chair sulking.
"Ping An, you are already an adult. When your elder brother was your age, his child almost learned to walk! Erya is a good girl, why don't you give her a good face?"
Lu Pingan snorted, “Mom, I’m not at home for just one day, and you’re selling your son?”
Wu Qingyun was speechless. Why did this boy speak so harshly?
"What do you mean by selling your son? If you don't even like Erya, who can you like?"
She just thought Erya was a nice girl, polite, hardworking, and quiet, which was a perfect match for this bad boy in her family.
An inappropriate expression appeared on Lu Ping'an's face. After realizing what he was thinking, he shook his head twice.
This is the impossible among the impossible!
Shen Xiaoyue was used to ordering people around, and he had already promised her a lot of things without realizing it!
Lu Ping'an had a premonition that if he married her, he would be enslaved to death, and his leisurely life would be gone forever.
Lu Pingan crossed his arms and said stubbornly, “Mom, I don’t like anyone, so don’t worry about it.”
Wu Qingyun sighed helplessly, "Okay, whatever you want, but the educated youth can't do that. Don't forget your sister Liang's experience."
"Got it, Mom."
Lu Ping'an responded casually, and Wu Qingyun didn't know whether he took it to heart.
