Chapter 46: Not as good as Lu Ping'an
Now she ignores Xie Ning. Xie Ning can't let her go, but also can't bear to give up Chen Xing's efforts for him, so he wants to get the best of both worlds.
"I heard something about it," Hu Qingqing approached mysteriously, "I heard that the daughter of Secretary Zhao from the neighboring Xiahe Village also had a crush on Xie Zhiqing, and the two seemed to have been in contact for a while. Last time, Li Zhiqing ran into them walking together. But this Li Zhiqing loves to talk nonsense, and few people believe what she says after hearing it too many times. I don't think it's groundless, and it seems like something Xie Zhiqing would do."
"What do you think they want from him? I don't think Xie Zhiqing is as good-looking as your Lu Ping'an."
Hu Qingqing didn't have any other intentions. The more she looked at Xie Ning, the more she felt that he was not a good man. First of all, he did not have the most basic sense of responsibility and accountability. Just in this respect, Lu Ping'an was far behind him.
Maybe after people come into contact with different people and different things, their horizons will become broader and their ability to judge people will improve.
During this period, I have been busy making hats, dyeing fabrics, and doing small business with Xiaoyue. I have to say, now that I have some money and have seen the world, I feel like a completely different person.
Last night at the Harvest Festival, there was a tall and strong young man from the village. She had seen him many times while working, and he seemed to be interested in her. If it had been before, she might not have thought about it, but she would give it a try. After all, life here is too long, and no one can guarantee when they can go back.
But after chatting yesterday, she felt that this person was not very reliable and seemed very arrogant, not like a good man. Besides, her life was very fulfilling now and she didn't need to rely on anything else to pass the time. After thinking about it, she decided to distance herself from them.
However, some educated youth have already begun to think about getting married here.
Anyway, no one will know once you leave Dahe Village.
That’s how things were done in the village in that era. They would have a wedding banquet and announce it to the whole village, and that would be considered a marriage, but they might not even see a marriage certificate in their entire life.
Therefore, many educated youth looked for opportunities to leave and return to the city to get married. It took time and energy for the villagers to find them, so most of them chose to accept the defeat and there was nothing they could do.
Shen Xiaoyue was slightly surprised. This had never happened before. However, considering her previous blindness, even if it had happened, she would not know about it. She followed Xie Ning around every day, acting like a nanny for him and turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside.
Xie Ning said that he was of high moral character and indifferent to fame and gain, but in his heart he calculated more than anyone else. Now thinking about it, it was also suspicious that he was able to take the first wave of buses back to the city.
The Xie family has a good background, but they are just the tallest among the short ones, not enough to reach Dahe Village.
In her previous life, she went back to the city to find Lu Ping'an. Wouldn't Xie Ning find a way?
Shen Xiaoyue blinked her eyes, ah, this is a good opportunity to get rid of them.
…
"Don't you know how I feel about you? Shen Xiaoyue, Shen Xing and I were just childhood playmates. It was only after coming here that I realized I had met my true love, Linlin."
Xie Ning looked at Zhao Linlin lovingly, so intently that it seemed as if he could only see her.
Sure enough, the girl opposite, who had just been glaring with anger and looking like she wanted to make a big scene, was now blushing at his straightforward words.
Xie Ning was very annoyed. He met Zhao Linlin last time when he was exchanging and studying with the neighboring village. He heard that she was the daughter of the village party secretary. Dahe Village and Xiahe Village had a very good relationship. The two villages often exchanged information and experiences, so he humbled himself and made contact with her.
He wanted to get close to Lu Guodong at first, but unfortunately he was a taciturn person and couldn't say much. Moreover, he would go home after work, so there were very few opportunities for them to chat alone. He had to take a long approach and start with Zhao Linlin.
The girls in the village had never seen such a scene. The elegant and handsome educated youth recited flowery love poems in your ears, like the whispers between lovers. Zhao Linlin was soon bewitched by him.
Zhao Linlin is a pretty girl from a small family. She knows how to dress up, comes from a well-off family, and has an older brother. She is quite favored in the Zhao family.
Relying on this relationship, Xie Ning often tricked Zhao Linlin into asking her father for some information.
But he really couldn't handle the commotion. He didn't know where she heard about his relationship with Shen Xiaoyue and Shen Xing, and came to confront him. Xie Ning hadn't gotten what he wanted yet, so he could only coax her patiently.
Zhao Linlin's voice softened instantly: "Brother Xie Ning, I don't mean to doubt you, but I'm afraid that you are an educated youth from the city and you may have more and better choices, so, that's why I'm anxious to come and ask you."
Xie Ning frowned slightly, raised his hand and pinched Zhao Linlin's nose, saying in a doting tone: "Little idiot, why are you so unconfident? They... they do have some interest in me, but I have made it clear to them that we are just ordinary friends. You are the one I want to spend my life with. Feel my heart, it is beating for you."
Xie Ning held Zhao Linlin's hand, brought it close to his chest, and deliberately rubbed the back of her hand several times. An ambiguous atmosphere flowed between the two of them.
Zhao Linlin's heart beat fast under the teasing. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly into the other person's eyes. All the doubts in her heart disappeared completely.
She slowly approached, snuggled against Xie Ning's chest, and asked in a tender voice: "When will Brother Xie Ning come to propose marriage? I want to tell Dad about the two of us."
Xie Ning had a mocking expression on his face, but his tone was still gentle. He stroked her face with his fingers and chuckled, "But I still want to spend more time alone with my baby. I can't let my baby live in a shabby house with me after marriage."
Zhao Linlin was so dizzy from his repeated calls of "baby" that she blurted out, "It doesn't matter if it's a rotten house. I'm fine with that."
She pursed her lips and said, "No matter where we go, as long as I am with Brother Xie Ning, I am willing, and Dad will also be willing for you to live with us."
Xie Ning's face froze, and he lowered his voice: "You are willing to do it, but I am reluctant to let my baby suffer. Be good and wait a little longer."
Zhao Linlin stopped talking and buried her blushing face in his arms, completely forgetting the purpose of her visit.
Brother Xie Ning is such a good person, it is normal for a few people to like him. As long as he likes her, she should be more generous.
The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Xie Ning coughed lightly.
He touched the top of Zhao Linlin's soft hair and sighed, "I really want to take my baby back to meet my parents. My baby is so cute, they will definitely like you very much. I just don't know how long I have to wait."
"Last time they sent me a letter asking me to bring a daughter-in-law back home, otherwise they would not allow me to go home."
"Baby, you can't bear to keep me from going home."
