Chapter 80 080 Wait for me to grow up and marry you
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to go up the mountain, but instead walked around the mountain at its foot, memorizing the route as she went.
After walking about a thousand miles, Qin Xiaoxiao found a small path that villagers often took uphill and followed it, noting down what was on both sides of the path as she went.
A big tree, a clump of weeds, a thicket of bushes—these can all become points of memory, allowing her to quickly mark them and imprint them in her mind.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to take out a flashlight to light the way, for fear of being discovered, so she could only move forward in the dark.
Fortunately, the moon is bright enough tonight, and I can see my surroundings clearly under its light, so it's not too bad.
After walking more than two hundred meters up the mountain, Qin Xiaoxiao stopped and turned back down.
Back at the educated youth settlement, Qin Xiaoxiao took a shower in her private space, drank a bottle of milk, and then fell asleep.
The next day at work, Qin Xiaoxiao was still fully equipped, carrying a folding stool to the field.
The meeting was in the morning, and the work was in the afternoon. Qin Xiaoxiao's performance improved slightly in the afternoon, reaching 22 meters this time. Qin Xiaoxiao was very satisfied.
Aunt Liu glanced at the work Qin Xiaoxiao had done and sighed inwardly.
I should help this kid with some work tomorrow, otherwise he won't get many work points after the autumn harvest.
Yesterday, Qin Ye went to see Qin Gouzi and didn't have time to help Qin Xiaoxiao with her work. Yesterday, Liu Mingyu recorded a work point for Qin Xiaoxiao, which made Aunt Liu unable to resist asking her son to be biased and fill in another one.
Of course, Liu Mingyu wouldn't do that, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep his job as a scorekeeper.
Time passed slowly, and five days went by in the blink of an eye. Qin Gouzi was much better and was already able to run around energetically to Qin Xiaoxiao's field to help her with the work.
"Dog, you should go back now. I don't need you here. Your brother Qin Ye will help me tonight."
"Miss, don't worry about me. You can tell Brother Qin Ye not to come over. I'll do it for you."
Is this all the work we need Brother Qin Ye for? That would be a waste of his talents!
He could do in one morning what the young lady did in three days. If he wasn't afraid of what people would say, he would have preferred to let the young lady go home and rest, so she wouldn't get in his way.
Qin Xiaoxiao sat on a small stool, holding a piece of asparagus in her hand and stuffing it into her mouth, not forgetting to hand one to Qin Gouzi.
"I don't want to eat it, you can eat it yourself."
You're so thin and you're still thinking about other people? How can you be so heartless!
Sigh! What will become of the young lady in the future?
Is it possible for someone who is in poor health, thin, unable to work, and has a sweet tooth to get married?
If that doesn't work, he can just marry a young lady when he grows up.
I counted on my fingers and realized it would be another ten years before he grew up and could get married. Ten years, the young lady would be thirty by then, right?
Qin Gouzi frowned and turned to look at Qin Xiaoxiao. "Miss, don't grow any older. Wait for me for ten years, and I'll marry you in ten years."
Qin Xiaoxiao had just put half a reed fruit in her mouth when she heard Qin Gou's shocked words, which almost made her choke to death.
She picked up her military water bottle, took a sip of water, and finally managed to swallow half a reed. Qin Xiaoxiao glared at Qin Gouzi with annoyance.
"What are you thinking? By the time you marry me, how old will I be? I'm already eighteen this year, and I'll be twenty-eight in ten years. If I don't get married by then, I'll be an old maid."
You're a vibrant 20-year-old young man, marrying a woman eight years your senior. Even if you're willing, your family won't!
Waaaaah... I'm so touched!
No one has ever said anything so sentimental to her before!
I'll come and marry you when I grow up!
So cute and refreshing!
Cough cough, even though it was a little kid who said this, I'm so happy!
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Gouzi with a smile, her tone rising two degrees, making her sweetness level ten plus signs.
"Doggy, thank you, but I can't wait that long, so you'd better give up on this idea."
This is so difficult! She's been longing for that little puppy!
Isn't it right here in front of us!
Unfortunately, this puppy was destined not to belong to her.
Forget about developing a six-pack; she doesn't have the time for that. Eight-pack abs are what she really wants.
Qin Gouzi worked for a while longer, and when he was almost done, he wanted to tell Qin Xiaoxiao so he could get a good review or something. But when he turned around, he saw the young lady he had just wanted to marry had a flushed face, dazed eyes, and was drooling.
Qin Gouzi: "??????"
What delicious food are you thinking about? You're craving it like this?
"Miss?"
Qin Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze, quickly adopted a serious posture, and nodded slightly, "Well done."
She pulled two White Rabbit candies from her pocket and stuffed them into Qin Gouzi's hand. "Eat them. They're a reward from your sister. You deserve them."
This was the first time she had taken out White Rabbit candies since arriving in Qinjiagou. After all, he was her "prospective little husband," so she had to treat him with some special treatment!
Qin Gouzi initially refused, but Qin Xiaoxiao forcefully shoved it into his hand.
Qin Gouzi received the candy and ran off to play happily.
Qin Xiaoxiao had finished her work, but it wasn't time to leave early, so she took her stool and went to gossip with Aunt Liu.
"Liu, the educated youth, came back from outside early this morning. My aunt's second uncle's granddaughter saw him when she went to fetch water this morning."
Qin Xiaoxiao was startled upon hearing this, "You came back from outside?"
Where did she go? She went up the mountain late last night, hopefully she didn't find out.
Aunt Liu pursed her lips, "That's right, I don't know what she's been up to."
Aunt Liu didn't say anything more. After all, she hadn't seen what the other person was doing, and she didn't want to make wild guesses. It would be a terrible sin to harm the other person in the future.
Qin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly and asked softly, "Isn't she with the youngest son of the Huang family? How come..."
Aunt Liu looked around to make sure no one was watching, then leaned close to Qin Xiaoxiao and whispered, "She's a city educated youth, good-looking and cultured. How could she possibly be interested in the Huang family's son?"
In my opinion, she's just stringing the Huang family along.
"Taking advantage?"
"That's right, she just doesn't want to work and wants Huang's son to help her."
He's lazy and cunning, far inferior to Xiao Xiao.
Although Xiaoxiao isn't good at physical labor, she's very enthusiastic. She never misses a day of work. Moreover, Xiaoxiao is kind-hearted and easy to talk to. She always has a smile on her face, and it's rare to see someone with such a cheerful expression.
I don't know what's so great about Liu Meijuan. The youngest son of the Huang family was so determined to be with her, but in the end, she ended up in someone else's bed in the middle of the night!
Aunt Liu grumbled inwardly, but didn't say it aloud, and Qin Xiaoxiao naturally didn't hear it either.
To ensure her safety, Qin Xiaoxiao decided to go back to the educated youth compound later and try to strike up a conversation with that educated youth Liu to see when she left yesterday.
After finishing work quickly, Qin Xiaoxiao told Qin Ye that she wouldn't be coming home for dinner that night. She had cooked too much in the morning and would have to eat the leftovers tonight, otherwise they would spoil by tomorrow, which would be a waste!
