"Oh, this is the new educated youth, right? She's so pretty." Qiu Lanying enthusiastically stepped past Zhao Lai Di, Feng Qiujuan, and Zhu Guixia, accurately grasping Bai Ruozhen's small hand. She stroked her slippery little hand and kept praising her, "Tsk, tsk, look at this. This girl from the city is really different. She's pretty, and her hands are so soft. She's truly unique in Xiahe Village."
Other female educated youth in Xiahe Village: “…” Are you trying to attack them because you can’t stand them?
Bai Ruozhen was frightened by Qiu Lanying's enthusiasm. She smiled awkwardly and tried to pull her hand back, but Qiu Lanying held it very tightly and she couldn't pull it out.
Qiu Lanying seemed oblivious to the others' odd expressions and continued to praise Bai Ruozhen. "How old are you this year, little comrade? I heard you're only seventeen?" Without waiting for Bai Ruozhen to reply, she caressed his face lovingly. "Look, you're so pretty, just a little thin. Don't worry, I'll get you some delicious food and I guarantee you'll be plump and white."
Bai Ruozhen's eyes lit up when she heard about the delicious food, and she immediately shouted happily, "Thank you, Auntie."
Zhao Lai Di, who was being ignored, was very unhappy. She rolled her eyes at Bai Ruo Zhen and then secretly asked Li Ai Hong, "Sister Ai Hong, who is this person?"
Li Aihong covered her mouth and smiled, then said, "This is the mother-in-law of Captain Li Xianjin, Gu Changqing's mother."
"Ah." Zhao Lai Di was surprised. They were the family members of cadres. She suddenly regretted why she didn't behave well just now. If the captain's mother-in-law treated her well, wouldn't the captain assign her an easy job when he assigned her work?
Zhao Lai Di bit her lip, moved closer to Qiu Lanying and said, "Auntie..."
Unfortunately, Qiu Lanying was not interested in her. She held Bai Ruozhen's hand and praised her to the skies. It was probably because Bai Ruozhen was used to hearing others praise her that she could act like a lady with compliments and composure.
When Qiu Lanying had almost finished praising him, Li Aihong asked, "Auntie, is this firewood lent to our new educated youth?"
The more Qiu Lanying looked at Bai Ruozhen, the more she liked him. Hearing this, she waved her hand and said, "Why borrow it? I gave it to our little comrade to use. You don't have to return it. Look, it's so pitiful for such a young child to leave his parents. From now on, your aunt will love you."
Bai Ruozhen, haha, is quite pitiful. He can't wash clothes or do any housework, and he only wants to eat delicious food. How can he not be pitiful?
"Thank you very much, auntie." Li Aihong said with a smile.
Qiu Lanying suddenly asked, "What's your name, young comrade?"
Bai Ruozhen smiled and said, "Aunt, my name is Bai Ruozhen, you can call me Zhenzhen."
"Oh, okay, Zhenzhen is good, this name is nice and worthy of our Zhenzhen." Qiu Lanying was very happy. What a good girl, she must quickly get her to her own plate and not let those bastards in the village snatch her away.
Qiu Lanying took her hand and said, "If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell me and I will protect you." She has a son and a son-in-law, and anyone who dares to snatch her daughter-in-law from her will be skinned alive.
Bai Ruozhen smiled, deliberately glanced at Zhao Lai Di, and then responded crisply, "Okay, thank you, auntie."
When Bai Ruozhen looked at her, Zhao Laidie's heart skipped a beat, as if Qiu Lanying was talking about her.
Qiu Lanying patted her chest and said, "In Xiahe Village, no one dares to mess with me. If you have any difficulties in the future, please tell me. If anyone bullies you, I will beat him to death with a carrying pole. I am not named Qiu."
It's so nice to have a backer, it would be a waste if I didn't have one. Bai Ruozhen nodded heavily, "Thank you, auntie."
"We are all family, don't be so polite." Qiu Lanying said with a smile. She liked him more and more the more she looked at him.
These words made Bai Ruozhen stunned. Why did it feel so strange? One had the surname Gu and the other surnamed Bai, so how could they be a family?
The few educated youth who were watching the fun on the sidelines already knew Qiu Lanying's character and just stood there watching. However, Zhu Guixia and Feng Qiujuan were really happy because their sister Zhenzhen had one more person to protect her. What a nice aunt.
Qiu Lanying reluctantly let go of her hand and said, "Okay, I'll come to see you another day. I'll ask your brother Changqing to bring some more."
Bai Ruozhen was stunned, "Brother Changqing?" That annoying guy Gu Changqing who was wearing a tattered cotton jacket, tattered cotton pants and a tattered hat?
Could this be Gu Changqing's mother?
Bai Ruozhen was shocked. What the hell was he doing?
He seemed not to notice the strangeness in her expression and thought she was embarrassed. He patted her hand, said goodbye to Li Aihong and the others, and left reluctantly.
After Qiu Lanying left, Li Aihong and several other old educated youths burst into laughter and talked about how Gu Changqing's mother often chased Gu Changqing around the village with a carrying pole.
Only Zhao Lai Di's face turned pale and she muttered, "Flatterer."
Bai Ruozhen glanced at her and said with a smile, "Sister Lai Di, are you envious of me being liked by Auntie? You came out earlier, why didn't you flatter her?"
Zhao Lai Di paused and said stubbornly, "Who cares if a peasant woman likes him?"
"Well, that's true." Bai Ruozhen touched his face and sighed, "Who made me so likable?"
Zhao Lai Di said angrily, "How shameless."
Bai Ruozhen said innocently, "Sister Lai Di, just because I'm likable does that mean I'm shameless?"
After Zhao Lai Di finished speaking, she realized that she had said something wrong. Wang Jun said from the side, "Zhao Lai Di, what you said is not very nice."
"I, I didn't mean it." Zhao Laidie's face suddenly turned red.
Bai Ruozhen said, "It doesn't matter. I'm used to it anyway."
It would be better not to say anything. Zhao Lai Di felt that she was having difficulty breathing. She was very unhappy because she had not succeeded in currying favor with the captain's mother-in-law and had been scolded by someone.
