Chapter 59 Leaving Xiaojing Village

Seeing that Qiao Bin did not realize his mistake, Jiang Duo's face darkened, "Qiao Bin."

Qiao Bin instantly felt the pressure and quickly stood up straight, "Here!"

"Fifty push-ups on the spot, do it now!"

"Yes," Qiao Bin took a step back, lay down on the spot and started doing push-ups in front of Jiang Duo.

After the fifty finished their work and stood up, Jiang Duo said, "There are always people in the village who are targeting Mingzhu. If someone sees you two alone, what will they say about her behind her back? We won't be here for long, so don't cause any trouble."

Qiao Bin understood Jiang Duo's concern and nodded quickly, "Yes, boss, I will pay attention next time, but what do you mean by we won't be here for long? Has the target taken action?"

"Well, I'll be waiting for your orders these days."

"Yes."

Mingzhu made fish head tofu soup, a low-profile version of garlic grilled fish, and a portion of fried shredded pork with soy sauce.

After a few days, she finally had a comfortable meal.

Qiao Bin also ate with great enthusiasm, and couldn't help but praise: "Sister-in-law, how come you can cook everything? This grilled fish, I've never eaten it before, it's so delicious. When you leave here in the future, just go to a state-owned hotel to be a chef, I will definitely go to support you every day!"

Mingzhu frowned, "Leave here in the future?"

She was from the future, so she naturally knew that policies would change, and she would have to leave this poor village sooner or later.

But... why did Qiao Bin say this as if he could predict the future?

Jiang Duo glanced at Qiao Bin with a warning look. Qiao Bin realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and immediately changed his words: "What I mean is... Ming Dayou is always targeting you anyway, and it's hard for you to go to work.

Why don't you just go to the state-owned hotel in the city?" Mingzhu pretended not to notice Qiao Bin's nervousness and smiled: "That's not a place that anyone can go to. Besides, I can't do the job of serving people with my temper. Why should I leave? It's better to stay here to take care of my aunt and my captain Jiang, and cook whatever I want. Isn't it nice?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Qiao Bin didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and stood up directly, "Aunt, boss, sister-in-law, I'm full, I'll go back first, you guys should also go to bed early."

After Qiao Bin left, Ming Chunni also finished her meal and went to pick mulberry leaves. Zhuzhu raised a lot of silkworms again, and she wanted to take good care of them for Zhuzhu.

Mingzhu sat at the dining table, looking at Jiang Duo who was still eating with a smile.

Jiang Duo glanced at her, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just ate too much tonight, I'm happy. I think life still needs meat. I used to eat coarse grains and vegetables without oil every day, I almost turned into a rabbit."

She said, holding her face and blinking at Jiang Duo, "Look, do you look like me?"

Jiang Duo raised a slight curve at the corner of his lips, "No."

Mingzhu nodded in approval and said seriously: "Yeah, how can there be such a beautiful rabbit like me, I'd better be a fox, a little fox spirit who specializes in seducing Captain Jiang's soul."

This time Jiang Duo did not refute, but listened quietly to Mingzhu's muttering, but in his heart he felt that she looked like neither a rabbit nor a fox, but more like a cat.

When a stranger reaches out to her, she will fight back, but in front of him, she is sometimes well-behaved and sometimes naughty, making him always want to touch her -

realizing that he is thinking wrongly again, Jiang Duo immediately gathered his thoughts, and after Mingzhu finished speaking, he got up and washed the dishes in the yard, and Mingzhu sat by the vegetable garden to accompany him.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door, and someone whispered, "Is Mingzhu home?"

It was not completely dark yet, Mingzhu got up, and in the dim light, she saw the visitor clearly. It was Ming Dayou's neighbor couple.

Mingzhu got up and smiled at the visitor, "How come the second master and second aunt have time to come to my house?"

Most of the villagers in Xiaojing Village have the surname Ming. Although the Ming Changsheng family is five generations away from her family, the village is divided by generations, and the relationship can still be considered close.

Second Auntie warmly handed Mingzhu a bunch of spinach, "I have a lot of spinach in my garden, so I came to give you three some vegetables. It's just right, I also have something I want to ask you for help with."

Mingzhu smiled and pointed to her vegetable garden, "Second Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. Look, I have a lot of vegetables, enough to eat. You have a big family, so you can take some back to eat. If you have any questions, just tell me directly."

"It's like this, I saw you selling tofu with your aunt today, she said she bought the water from you, you see, I'm free at home anyway, can I do this business with you?"

Mingzhu looked embarrassed, "Second Aunt, you saw it at noon today, why didn't you come to me earlier? Today, several families in the village knew about this and came to me, I can make three or four buckets of tofu with my water in a day, more than that won't work. Besides, the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't need that much tofu in a day." When

the second aunt and her husband heard so many people coming, they became even more anxious: "Mingzhu, you see, our two families are not far apart, can you... give Second Aunt a little more evenly?"

Mingzhu sighed, thought for a long time, and said: "If you are asked to cooperate with one of them, can you do it?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Second Aunt nodded repeatedly. If she cooperated with others, she could also get half of the profit, two yuan and fifty cents, which was much more than what she could earn by working.

"Okay, then I'll make some arrangements. As long as you can fully cooperate with me, I'll give you a definite answer tomorrow afternoon."

Second Aunt and her husband promised to listen to Mingzhu and said a lot of good things before leaving.

Jiang Duo wiped his hands, walked up to Mingzhu and asked, "Did many people come to see you in the afternoon?"

Mingzhu curled her lips slightly, "Several families saw Auntie selling tofu from a distance. After asking Auntie, four families came to see me. I guess someone will come tomorrow. Are you going to the city tomorrow?"

"Why?"

"Please help me go to the supply and marketing cooperative and find Liu Chengcai. I can supply him with goods every day."

Jiang Duo nodded, "Okay, this way I don't have to let those people cooperate."

"No, we have to let them cooperate."

Jiang Duo looked at her puzzled.

Mingzhu smiled slyly: "I am a cautious person. How do I know if they will secretly keep some of my Taisui water for other purposes after taking it back? Or do anything to the tofu? If it affects the quality of the tofu, it will ruin my reputation!"

"Only by letting them cooperate can we supervise each other and prevent trouble. Moreover, the relationship between the cooperating people cannot be too good, otherwise it will be easy for the group to cheat. We should not have the intention to harm others, but we must also be on guard against others."

Jiang Duo looked at Mingzhu with sigh. In this matter, his consideration was indeed not as comprehensive as Mingzhu's.

It must be said that Mingzhu impressed him again.

Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and said to him, "How about it, your wife is smart, right?"

He stared at the eyes that were brighter than the moonlight in the night, and thought of the question Qiao Bin asked him this evening, and his heart moved slightly.

For the first time in more than 20 years, he was curious about what it felt like to really like someone?
