Chapter 151 Guaguagua There will be another chapter tonight
Every winter rain brings a chill. With several bursts of freezing rain mixed with snow and hail falling down, the entire Shitang Brigade became completely cold before the New Year.
As the New Year draws to a close, respectable families begin to prepare everything necessary for the New Year, getting ready for the whole family to have a lively and prosperous New Year.
Those who were not so well off began to worry secretly. They had not bought new clothes for their children, and they had to pay back their debts before New Year's Eve. They had not yet prepared the smoked fish and bacon...
In short, each family is happy and each is sad. The end of the year is not only an important festival that cannot be ignored, but also a hurdle that must be overcome.
On the 22nd of the lunar year, Secretary Huang's family secretly asked someone to calculate an auspicious day for marriage, and Huang Youwei and Lin Yanyan officially got married.
Xiang Yao and Nie Baichuan went to a banquet. The meal was sumptuous and the crowd was lively, but the bride didn't look very well. It was said that it was because no one from her family came.
Of course, other people didn't care about this. The educated youth came from all over the country, and many of them married quietly in the local area without any relatives present. What a big deal.
When toasting, Lin Yanyan was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket. Her belly was slightly bulging under the jacket, and she was already showing that she was pregnant.
Her face was painted red, and she glanced at Nie Baichuan casually, again and again. Seeing that he didn't look back at her, she toasted and followed Huang Youwei to the next table.
"Hey, hey, hey, I was just looking at you." Xiang Yao leaned close to Nie Baichuan and whispered in his ear, "Comrade Nie, your charm remains undiminished."
She also didn't understand Lin Yanyan's staring eyes. They were already married and pregnant, so why was she still looking at a married man with such eyes?
What? Are you still thinking about developing a backup and cheating after marriage? She's still sitting next to you!
Xiang Yao was really unhappy in her heart. She would feel uncomfortable even if her toy was coveted by others, let alone her lover.
Nie Baichuan looked at her calmly: "I know, I didn't look at her."
Xiang Yao raised an eyebrow and said lightly, "That's more like it."
But they had no interest in the banquet at all. After finishing their meal and presenting their gifts, they left.
Because it was windy today, the two of them did not ride bicycles. They were walking slowly on the road. When they opened their mouths, the cold wind would fill their mouths. So they simply stopped talking and just walked side by side.
The way back passed by the slope of Lao Xiang's house. Xiang saw her brother Ming chopping firewood in the yard from a distance. She greeted him loudly and stopped to talk for a few words.
"Xiaofei and I have partnered up to reclaim a piece of land on the back mountain. When the time comes, please give us some more seeds and we will use them to plant peanuts." Xiang Ming walked down the slope, leaning on an axe, breathing slightly, and white mist floated out of his mouth.
Xiang Yao nodded and agreed.
As for seeds, she had plenty of them, and Xiang Ming could have as many as he wanted.
"Brother Ming, you should plant more other things, such as watermelons, melons, orange trees, and grapefruit trees..." she suggested.
Xiang Ming thought about it and agreed: "That's fine, it's just a little more tiring in the early stages. We have plenty of energy."
He used to be a very lazy person. Everyone eats from the same pot, so who doesn't want to be lazy? But when it comes to his own career, he always does it himself and works diligently.
Why? Because there is a purpose!
When you work for yourself, every penny you earn is yours and you can use it however you like. How can this not make you more motivated?
Xiang Ming is not a person without plans. He is smart and loyal. Since he took over Nie Baichuan's business, he and Liu Xiaofei have gradually developed their own downstream people, and now is the time when they are prosperous.
A few people stood by the roadside and talked for a while. Zhou Aihua went out to the yard to collect clothes. When she saw them, she hesitated for a long time, and finally called out politely: "Yaoyao, why don't you come in and sit down? Come in and sit down. I'll make tea for you and Baichuan."
Xiang Yao glanced at her, but before she could say anything, she heard Xiang Ming turn his head and say to his mother, "They won't go in. They'll just say a few words and go home. Mom, you go in first."
The smile on Zhou Aihua's face froze, and he could only nod and bury his head in the work.
"Yaoyao, I know what happened at home is not right. Don't worry about it. Just do what needs to be done. Anyway, I will always be your brother and will always stand on your side." Xiang Ming looked at Xiang Yao and said in a firm tone.
Xiang Yao knew that her cousin understood what was going on, so she nodded, "Brother Ming, I know."
She remembers Xiang Ming's kindness, and Xiang Ming also remembers her kindness. The two siblings get along like this, and their feelings will not fade because of other Xiang family members.
That's good.
The few of them talked for a few more words before saying goodbye.
On the way, Xiang Yao muttered, "Brother Ming is also worried. He doesn't know that I have long stopped thinking about the Xiang family's affairs."
The main reason is that she has never regarded the entire Xiang family as her own home, nor has she regarded other Xiang family members as her own relatives. Once people have no feelings, they will feel that things caused by human nature and interests will not hurt their hearts at all.
They are just strangers who have briefly crossed paths.
She didn't notice that when Nie Baichuan heard the word "they", he blinked slowly but didn't say anything.
"Hey, some people think they can provide some peanut seeds for the team, so they are so proud of it. Haha, if they can't grow anything, it will waste everyone's energy and land. That would be ridiculous!"
As I was walking, a sour voice came from the side not far away.
Xiang Yao looked over in the direction of the voice and saw Liu Xiaotao staring at him with her arms folded across her chest, her face full of dissatisfaction.
Xiang Yao was speechless. What on earth was this person dissatisfied with?
"Thank you for your reminder, but you don't have to worry about this." She gave a perfunctory smile and walked away.
"Don't think that you are living a good life just because you are being flattered and coaxed by others. After all, your background is not good. When they catch you and parade you through the streets and criticize you, you will behave yourself!" Liu Xiaotao saw her about to leave and chased after her, saying loudly.
Xiang Yao stopped and took a serious look at Liu Xiaotao, who was filled with righteous indignation. He said sarcastically, "Liu Xiaotao, do you really want to see us criticized and criticized? How did I offend you that you would have to use such malicious thoughts?"
Shitang Brigade was different from other places. When the movement was at its most serious, the brigade cadres did not do much, and the people in the brigade were busy farming. Apart from holding meetings to show their respect, they did not do anything serious.
Besides, the team still needs help from others. The fertilizer that Nie Baichuan got is enough to make everyone secretly grateful to the Nie family. Why would they really want to make things difficult for them?
Liu Xiaotao kept talking about parades and criticism/struggle sessions, and she must have thought about this countless times in her mind.
Liu Xiaotao naturally knew the team's style better than Xiang Yao, and of course understood the twists and turns involved. When Xiang Yao exposed her directly, her face couldn't help but blush.
"I, I never thought of that! Don't talk nonsense!" she said. "Humph, besides, am I wrong? Your family background is so bad, and yet you are so arrogant, is that what you deserve?"
Xiang Yao raised an eyebrow. "Tell me, how am I arrogant? Did I dig up your ancestral graves, or did I do something that angered heaven and man?"
"Oh," she suddenly realized, "You don't think I'm being arrogant because I'm working diligently for the good of our team, providing free seeds so that everyone can have enough oil to eat from now on? What? Can you twist a good deed into such a distorted form? How about I go talk to the team leader and the branch secretary and tell them you disagree?"
Liu Xiaotao was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She pointed at Xiang Yao and couldn't speak for a long time: "You! You! I didn't mean that!"
She had no doubt that Xiang Yao, who often went crazy, really dared to say this at the brigade headquarters!
Xiang Yao chuckled: "What do you mean?"
Liu Xiaotao choked, her face flushed red, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xiang Yao smiled brightly and said, "Since you don't have any other good ideas, I'll be leaving now."
Liu Xiaotao was stimulated by her smile, and her throat, which had just been choked, was instantly cleared as if by a stream of water. She opened her mouth and was about to speak.
However, when she was about to speak, she felt an extremely creepy gaze falling on her, which made her subconsciously look back.
That was the gaze from Nie Baichuan.
A pair of eyes that seemed calm and composed, but were actually full of intimidation, as if she would have to bear some serious consequences if she said one more word.
Liu Xiaotao was shocked and took back all the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
It wasn't until the two of them left that she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you showing off for, huh!"
Looking at the back of the person walking away, Liu Xiaotao snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.
She has been feeling very unhappy recently because Ding Youzhi, her brother Youzhi, has done something wrong and has repeatedly broken his promises to her.
After thinking about it, didn't he remember what Xiang Yao said to the two of them on the ridge of the field?
Ding Youzhi explained to her that there was no relationship between him and Zhang Xuemei at all!
It was all that little bitch Xiang Yao's nonsense, trying to sow discord between her and Ding Youzhi!
Humph, Brother Youzhi must have felt uncomfortable about this, which is why he was so cold to her.
How could she not hate Xiang Yao? She was so angry!
But no matter how angry she was, she had just felt the murderous aura from Xiang Yao, her man! It was really terrifying!
Isn't it said that Nie Baichuan is a good person? How come she didn't feel that at all? She even secretly liked this guy before, ugh!
Liu Xiaotao spat fiercely at the exposed roots of the large camphor tree next to her, then turned around and went back.
…
"Are you angry?" Nie Baichuan looked at Xiang Yao, who was pouting, and asked in a gentle voice.
Xiang Yao picked up a withered dogtail grass from the roadside and swung it back and forth: "It's not that I'm angry, but I just feel very unhappy to meet such a person for no reason."
Nie Baichuan chuckled, put his arm around her shoulders, and coaxed her, "Be good, don't be upset, let's go home and have something delicious. Didn't you eat enough at Huang's?"
Xiang Yao raised her lips and nodded: "I'm really not full."
Just by looking at the seductive look Lin Yanyan gave Nie Baichuan, she felt so unhappy that her stomach was full.
Nie Baichuan: "Let's go home."
Xiang Yao took his arm, full of vigor and energy as if she was about to do something earth-shattering: "Let's go!"
