Bai Ruozhen, who had been feeling nervous and conflicted for a long time, blushed instantly and was too embarrassed to even raise his head while sitting on the small stool.
Gu Changqing exclaimed in surprise, "Is this already divided?"
"Of course." Li Xianjin's cousin Li Hongbing glanced at Bai Ruozhen seemingly unintentionally. "If we don't separate and let everyone do whatever they want, we won't suffer any loss. Some of the newcomers are incompetent at anything, and we can't let some of them hold us back. Brother Changqing, you can't do this."
Gu Changqing glanced at her calmly and said, "I haven't said anything yet, but you're already giving me a long speech."
"Brother Changqing..." Li Hongbing's face turned pale.
Bai Ruozhen looked up at Li Hongbing, blinked, pursed his lips and said nothing.
But there are a lot of people here, and I felt a little soft-hearted after hearing what Bai Ruozhen said. It's normal for a little girl who grew up in the city not to do that.
But Zhu Guixia refused to accept it and said directly to Li Hongbing, "Who are we holding back? Tell me clearly." Although the educated youth were not as good at working as the local residents, some of them were efficient. For example, Zhu Guixia learned farm work faster than anyone else and was faster than the locals in selecting seedlings.
Li Hongbing retorted, "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Bai Ruozhen."
Bai Ruozhen is good-looking and many people like him, but there are also people who don't like him or even envy him. Zhao Lai Di is one of them, and Li Hongbing is another.
Bai Ruozhen didn't intend to be a charmer. When she heard Li Hongbing's words, she looked up at her and said, "I was a drag and the team didn't give me food. What does it have to do with Sister Hongbing? I'm not going to your house to borrow food." After saying that, she lowered her head and picked up the seedlings again.
Gu Changqing next to her glanced at her and smiled slightly. The kitten finally put away its innocent and pitiful face and showed its claws, but it seemed to be pretty good this way.
At noon, Bai Ruozhen followed Zhu Guixia and others back. When he was about to reach the educated youth site, he was stopped by Gu Changqing.
Li Aihong pulled Zhu Guixia and the others and said to Bai Ruozhen, "Don't go too far, we'll be waiting for you at the door."
Bai Ruozhen watched them leave, standing there with her head down, somewhat reluctant to face Gu Changqing. Sometimes she herself couldn't understand why she had fallen in love with someone else so quickly. Back then, she was so confident that she could spend the rest of her life with her cousin, the emperor, but she hadn't expected to develop strange feelings for Gu Changqing just a few months after traveling here.
"Let's talk over there?" Gu Changqing said, pointing to an abandoned house at the entrance of the alley.
Bai Ruozhen refused to move, her mind replaying Aunt Qiu's words from that day. She bit her lip and said, "Let's talk right here, and then I'll leave."
Gu Changqing looked around and saw that no one came out. He nodded and said, "I was wondering if you are planning to find a partner in the countryside?"
Hearing this, Bai Ruozhen paused for a moment, then looked up at him in surprise.
Gu Changqing scratched his head embarrassedly and continued, "Although I am still quite poor now, I am already a driver for Yancheng Transport Company. My monthly salary is 35 yuan, which is enough if I spend frugally." Bai Ruozhen's household registration has now been transferred to the countryside of Yancheng due to their relationship. If they get married, he can find a job for her in Yancheng and transfer her household registration there. Even if she doesn't work, he thinks she can still transfer her household registration to the city.
Bai Ruozhen was also extremely conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that it was shameful for him to fall in love with someone else, but on the other hand, he was secretly happy about Gu Changqing's confession.
It turns out that Gu Changqing likes him.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Changqing became a little anxious. Could it be that Bai Ruozhen didn't like her? Although they had only met a few times, Bai Ruozhen had appeared in his dreams many times. This time, he had completely seen his heart clearly, so he came to confess his feelings. Could it be that he was rejected just like that?
After a long time, just when Gu Changqing was about to ask further questions, Bai Ruozhen spoke carefully, "I think... I think Auntie may not want me to be your wife."
Hearing this, Gu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his mother was right. The little girl was just competing with herself and had lost her mind.
Gu Changqing smiled easily, "My mother is right, you misunderstood."
"What?" Bai Ruozhen looked at him blankly.
Gu Changqing pursed his lips and looked at her dazed look, which actually made him feel very cute. Oh, how could she be so lovable?
Ahem, Gu Changqing nodded, "My mother said that day she actually wanted to ask you if you were willing to be my wife, but you misunderstood and ran away before my mother could say anything."
Bai Ruozhen: “…” It seems so. Aunt Qiu did not say it clearly. Could it be that she was just mistaking it for something else?
When Bai Ruozhen thought about her unhappiness and many difficult things these days, she felt that she was too stupid.
She lowered her head, pursed her lips, chuckled, and quickly put it away. She looked up at Gu Changqing and said, "I can't wash clothes, I can't farm, I can't make clothes or sew insoles. At present, I can only make fire and cook." Apart from making fire and cooking, although she has slowly learned some other functions, in Xiaoli's words, she is still a loser and can't even support herself.
She glanced at Gu Changqing and said, "Actually, I don't want to do anything. I just want to have fun."
In her previous life, her life was to keep herself beautiful and she didn't have to worry about anything else. But here, she has to worry about everything by herself, including washing clothes and cooking. Although Xiaoli is good at sewing clothes, sooner or later Xiaoli will get married, and she will still have to learn it then.
During this time, she also understood that in the countryside, people who choose to marry a wife usually do not only consider her appearance, but more importantly, whether she can work. After all, they rely on work points to earn food. If they marry a woman who can do nothing, the whole family will have to feed her, but they don't earn much food, which is really not cost-effective.
"I don't farm, so it doesn't matter if you don't know how to farm." Gu Changqing looked at her with a smile in his eyes. "I'm a worker and I get paid every month. You can go to the county town with me. As for cooking, I can learn it. I can also do chores like washing clothes. All you have to do is marry me and talk to me when you're free. You can just have fun at other times."
