Chapter 18: Abandoning Husband and Children
Chen Xing was not convinced: "Sister, I care about you too."
"Oh, since you care about me so much, why don't you wash my clothes as well? I'm tired from work today."
Shen Xiaoyue grinned and gave her a kind smile.
"you!"
Chen Xing couldn't argue with her, so he retreated to his bed in shame, covered his head with the quilt and pretended nothing had happened.
Seeing this, several female educated youth who were eavesdropping nearby covered their mouths and laughed quietly.
Shen Xiaoyue was humming a little tune. She didn't want to argue with her. She couldn't win the argument with her, but she always liked to provoke her.
The next day.
"Xiaoyue, we'll take a break in a couple of days and go to the county town together. Do you want to go?"
Hu Qingqing took Shen Xiaoyue’s arm and invited her warmly.
Shen Xiaoyue knew that Hu Qingqing was a person who kept her word, so she told her the truth that there was someone covering for her, and blinked her eyes: "I have an appointment with Lu Pingan."
Hu Qingqing also blinked: "Oh, okay, Lu..."
"What? Lu Pingan?!"
His eyes suddenly widened to become bigger than copper bells.
Bodhisattva, when did these two become related? !
"Lu Ping'an, the son of Secretary Lu?!"
Shen Xiaoyue pouted and nodded hard, her cheeks puffed up like a little squirrel.
Hu Qingqing's expression suddenly became serious: "Xiaoyue, is Lu Ping'an threatening you?"
It’s not that Hu Qingqing has a bad impression of Lu Pingan, but in her heart, Shen Xiaoyue is like the bright moon in the sky, and not just anyone can match her.
Shen Xiaoyue argued for him in a low voice: “No, he is not that kind of person.”
Hu Qingqing was heartbroken. She hadn't said anything yet, but he started protecting her!
"Are you two seriously dating?"
Shen Xiaoyue: …………
Who stabbed my heart with a knife?
Shen Xiaoyue hesitated: "We haven't gotten along yet."
"Isn't this a hooligan act?!"
"He disagrees..."
Hu Qingqing now had no time to worry about when they got involved. She now felt that Lu Ping'an was simply taking advantage of her, and how dare he disagree?
This was the first time Shen Xiaoyue shared these things with others. Two blushes appeared on her face, and she whispered, "I like it..."
Hu Qingqing had an expression as if her cabbages were being eaten by pigs.
Who understands, folks? I woke up early in the morning and suddenly found out that my cabbages are trying to eat my pigs.
"What about you and Xie Zhiqing?"
"Our family does have this intention, but I don't like him."
"That's good. Your sister and Xie Zhiqing have been getting close these days. I was afraid they were together behind your back."
Although it was obvious that Xiaoyue was not interested in Xie Zhiqing, Xie Zhiqing made it clear in both explicit and implicit ways that there was something special between them.
When I go to work, I always like to ask Xiaoyue if she is thirsty or tired. He never stops talking, but never takes any practical action!
The two of them have nothing to do with each other. Isn't Xie Zhiqing just trying to wipe out Shen Xiaoyue's innocence?
On the one hand, he hinted that the two of them were in a relationship, while on the other hand, he was unclear with Chen Xing.
Hu Qingqing didn't think Xie Zhiqing was a good person either.
Thinking of something, Hu Qingqing's eyes showed a little worry: "Xiaoyue, I heard that Lu Ping'an is very lazy. If you marry him, I'm afraid you will suffer."
"Besides, you don't want to go back to the city?"
"If it doesn't work, just dump him when you return to the city."
Hu Qingqing felt that Lu Pingan was just pretending to be reserved, and she really couldn’t imagine that anyone would reject Shen Xiaoyue.
Who knows, he might agree happily in a few days.
She would think it was a bit cold-blooded if others abandoned their husbands and children when returning to the city, but when it came to Shen Xiaoyue, she felt it was natural, and Xiaoyue deserved better!
Hu Qingqing has several children in her family. She is the second child and the least favored one. She has to take care of the younger ones and has never enjoyed much love from her parents.
After arriving at the educated youth center, she ate more delicious food in a short period of time than she had in the entire previous year!
When she had stomach discomfort and bleeding, Xiaoyue would make her some brown sugar water!
Brown sugar is not cheap, but Xiaoyue added it to her drink as if it were free. It was so warm that she almost wanted to cry when she drank it.
So she thought Shen Xiaoyue was the best, and the best man in the world was barely worthy of her.
Shen Xiaoyue burst out laughing when she heard what she said.
In his previous life, he only knew how to revolve around Xie Ning, and the only time he paid any attention was to deal with Lu Ping'an. He had no self at all.
I have made a good friend in this life.
I have the impression that Hu Qingqing's life was not very good. She had no hope of returning to the city, so she found someone to marry in the countryside. After finally hearing about the college entrance examination, her in-laws refused to let her take the exam, fearing that she would leave.
They will both be fine in this life.
"Qingqing, don't worry, he will treat me very well."
"But you have to keep it a secret for me."
Hu Qingqing believed in Shen Xiaoyue's words without a doubt, and was even more moved. She knew how much Xiaoyue trusted her to tell her all this.
She will never tell anyone! She wouldn't tell anyone even if someone carried a wooden can and tortured her!
"Then you guys should be the first to tell me if you're together!"
"Of course, of course, hehehe."
The two girls burst into laughter.
"Didn't you and Comrade Lu just happen to meet on the road before?!"
Hu Qingqing's memory came back to her, her eyes widened, and she looked like she was going to start making a fuss if she wasn't explained properly.
She was complaining about why she kept seeing the two of them together recently!
"Oh, this wasn't the beginning of the story yet."
Shen Xiaoyue was confident.
Hu Qingqing turned sideways and bumped Shen Xiaoyue’s arm with her shoulder.
"So now there is a stroke in the eight characters?"
Shen Xiaoyue scratched the non-existent beard on his chin, with an unfathomable look on his face: "I feel like I'm getting pregnant soon."
During the lunch break, Hu Qingqing happened to meet Lu Ping'an who came to deliver lunch to Secretary Lu. She looked at him again and again.
Apart from a pretty face, there's nothing special about her, right? He looks lazy and sloppy, and at first glance he seems to be useless.
Hu Qingqing completely forgot who was discussing Lu Ping'an's stunning looks with other educated youth when she first met him.
Lu Pingan glanced around casually and met Shen Xiaoyue’s gaze.
Shen Xiaoyue blinked at him, as if to remind him not to forget their agreement. He looked away expressionlessly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Suddenly he felt someone was staring at him. Lu Ping'an frowned and looked in the direction of the sight impatiently, then he was stunned and relaxed his brows.
Oh, it’s the educated youth who gets along well with Shen Xiaoyue.
No, what's that look in her eyes? Why do I feel a little disgusted?
Hu Qingqing, who was examining Lu Ping'an, did not miss the moment when Shen Xiaoyue and Lu Ping'an looked at each other. ! ! !
She said that Lu Ping'an was pretending to be reserved.
As soon as he walked in, his eyes turned to Xiaoyue. She wanted to see how long he could pretend. !
…
"The straw for making straw hats must be dried in the sun... Use this fine needle... Make sure to rinse it with water to ensure flexibility... Yes, yes, yes, rub it a few times like this. If it's not rubbed soft, you can't weave it!"
In the afternoon, Shen Xiaoyue and Hu Qingqing had nothing to do, so they went to villager Grandma Wang's house to learn how to weave straw hats.
