Chapter 45: The Guaren People Are Not Dating Me
Xiang Yao had a full meal but did not go for a walk. After returning to the room, he ate a tomato and then went into the melon field and started working hard.
She picked about twenty large, straight watermelons from the watermelon field, thinking to herself that she would go find Nie Baichuan tomorrow, make an appointment with him at a location, and deliver the goods in the evening.
If she works harder tonight, she should be able to make a lot of money.
This location must be chosen carefully. It must not be discovered by others, and she must be able to arrive there first so that she can release the fruits and vegetables and pile them up.
As for how she was "transported" here, she believed that Nie Baichuan would not ask too many questions, so she didn't need to think of any excuses.
Xiang Yao worked tirelessly, feeling she had never been so exhausted in her life. But when she thought about the money she would have after this, she felt it was all worth it.
But after working for a few hours, it was midnight and she could no longer hold on. She came out of the melon field and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
I had a very sweet sleep.
Perhaps it was the effect of the melon field system upgrade. After she was tired and slept for a few hours, she returned to reality. Not only did she not feel sore all over, but she felt as if she had been cleansed, full of energy and strength.
The feeling of improved physical fitness was so obvious that Xiang Yao noticed it immediately when he woke up in the morning.
She looked at herself in a broken mirror in the room, and saw her rosy and energetic face, feeling very satisfied.
I feel better and have a smile on my face.
Even when he passed by the yard, Xiang Yao greeted Zhang Juhua and Zhou Aihua in a good-tempered manner.
After everyone left, Zhou Aihua muttered, "This is truly bizarre..."
Xiang Yao didn't care that her "unusual" behavior was a ghost in the eyes of her family. She was so happy that she even walked very briskly.
Even if I saw a chicken jumping out of the fence on the road, I would happily go and tease it.
Xiang Yao already had some ideas about the transaction location.
In the innermost part of a valley north of Xiangjiawan, there is a dilapidated house that was abandoned a few years ago.
Originally, this house was inhabited by an elderly widower named Old Man Li. Later, he passed away, and the house became dilapidated and located in a very remote area. No one was interested in using it, so it just remained abandoned.
Even children rarely go in because they are scared by rumors about ghosts and gods.
For Xiang Yao, this is a ready-made, secret transaction location!
Walking all the way towards the deserted house, Xiang Yao would smile and greet acquaintances he met on the way.
In her opinion, many villagers in the brigade, including educated youth, were very lovely. If you gave them a little benefit, they would return it double in the blink of an eye, for fear that the other party would suffer a loss.
Overall, it is relatively simple.
Of course, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Some have a simple side, and naturally there are other sides.
As we were walking, we walked a little further into the valley and encountered a bad bird.
A young couple came through the fork in the road ahead, just a few dozen meters ahead of Xiang Yao.
Just by looking at the backs, Xiang Yao recognized that the man was Ding Youzhi, and the woman was not Liu Xiaotao.
The two walked side by side, coming together from time to time to talk about something. Their hands touched each other repeatedly, and their postures were ambiguous. It was obvious that they were not in an ordinary relationship.
Tsk tsk. Xiang Yao couldn't help but secretly complain, this guy must have thought that there were no one in this valley, but he was so open and aboveboard, didn't this educated youth Ding feel guilty?
“Cough cough cough!”
Seeing that the two of them were about to hold hands, Xiang Yao rolled his eyes and cleared his throat loudly several times.
Sure enough, the people in front heard the sound and immediately moved away a little.
Ding Youzhi couldn't help but look back and saw that it was Xiang Yao. He looked embarrassed, but not at all guilty.
He kept his gaze on Xiang Yao's face for two seconds, smiled, and greeted her: "It's Xiang Yao, where are you going?"
The girl next to Ding Youzhi also turned around at this time, looked at Xiang Yao, and suddenly raised her chin proudly.
Xiang Yao: ...
Is it necessary to look down on others... She didn't offend the other person.
She had already recognized her by this time. This girl was the Zhang Xuemei that Lin Yanyan had mentioned.
It seems that there is something fishy going on between these two people. I just wonder if Zhang Xuemei knows that Ding Youzhi has more than one "fish".
He cleared his throat again and nodded to Yao: "I'm going for a walk. Where are you two going?"
Ding Youzhi laughed and said, "Hey, I'm not going anywhere. I have something to talk to Zhang Xuemei about, and I ended up here without realizing it."
When Zhang Xuemei heard him call her like that, which was completely different from the "Xuemei" he had just called her, she felt a little unhappy, but she was afraid that Ding Youzhi would be angry, so she didn't say anything.
Xiang Yao tilted his head and said, "There aren't many houses ahead."
Ding Youzhi was still looking at Xiang Yao, his eyes revealing something. Upon hearing this, he quickly said, "Yeah, we've also gone the wrong way. Let's go back now."
Zhang Xuemei looked at Ding Youzhi and saw that he was still staring at Xiang Yao. She was very dissatisfied. She pouted and glared at Xiang Yao hatefully.
Xiang Yao didn't want to continue chatting with the two of them. The reason she said that was to prevent them from moving forward, otherwise it would be inconvenient for her to check the location.
Of course, she didn't want to see people being affectionate with each other.
She really didn't know what these two people were doing by walking into the valley in such a sticky manner, but at this moment, she had to apologize and asked them to find another place to be intimate.
The two of them returned the same way, and when they passed Xiang Yao, Zhang Xuemei snorted heavily and glanced at her sideways.
Xiang Yao shrugged, not understanding why this man was so angry.
But seeing the two men leave, she felt relieved again and continued walking forward. Soon she went around half of the low hill and arrived at the deserted house hidden behind two large camphor trees.
No one has taken care of the house for a long time. Although it has not collapsed, the roof is missing in some places.
I don’t know if someone secretly took it off and used it to mend their own home.
Xiang Yao took a stick and knocked around, and was satisfied when he saw that there was no danger.
At that time, she would come a little earlier and pile all the fruits and vegetables in the side room. After the two of them finished the transaction, she would not care how Nie Baichuan moved them away.
After stepping on the ground carefully, Xiang Yao left with satisfaction, strolling all the way to Nie Baichuan's house.
Before she came here, she had no impression of Nie Baichuan, the number one villain in the book, and now she still doesn't know where he lives.
When they finally found the man's house, Nie Baichuan was not there.
The Nie family's house looked quite old. It was not a big house, and one side of the house was already in a state of collapse. It had only been gathered together, and the bricks had not been moved away and cleaned up.
But apart from the collapsed part, the main hall and the two rooms on the other side looked quite neat and clean from the outside.
Xiang Yao recalled that the Nie family had returned from the capital, and this house had probably been theirs for a long time, so it probably had not been maintained much before they came back.
She understood that the Nie family would not maintain too much order. After all, they had a bad background and if they lived too well, they would attract attention.
She stood outside the yard and shouted twice.
His father was chopping wood in the front yard. When he saw a young girl coming towards him, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Look for Baichuan, he's out."
Old Nie walked over the fence and looked at Xiang Yao calmly. Then he remembered that this was the daughter of Old Xiang from the team, and he said quickly.
Xiang Yao's eyebrows curved, and he gave a polite smile: "Uncle Nie, when will Nie Baichuan come back? I have something to ask him."
Old Nie tried his best to appear more amiable and spoke in a softer tone, so as not to make the young girl uncomfortable:
"He didn't say, but I guess I'll be back soon. I usually go home around this time. If you have anything to say, why don't you tell me and I'll pass it on to Baichuan later?"
He did not suggest that Xiang Yao wait at home. After all, there were only two people in their family, a father and a son, both grown men, and no women at all. How could they keep a girl?
Nie Baichuan did say that if he wasn't there when he came to look for him, he should tell his father.
But Xiang Yao thought about it. She was about to arrange a transaction at a deserted house in a remote place. How could she tell her elders about this?
It would be bad if people misunderstood her as frivolous or something.
She smiled and said, "It's okay, Uncle Nie. It's not urgent. I'd better go back first. When Nie Baichuan comes back, could you please tell him to come find me?"
Old Nie agreed immediately: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely let him know."
He thanked Xiang Yao, waved goodbye and left.
She said she was not in a hurry, but she was actually quite anxious.
After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day after tomorrow. If the transaction is delayed until tomorrow, it will be too late!
No one knows where Nie Baichuan has gone. He is not at home.
Xiang Yao complained about the villain in his heart, then walked along the country road towards Xiang's home.
…
On the other side, when Nie Baichuan returned home, he immediately went to the well to fetch water to wash his face and hands.
The water droplets wet his short hair, slid down his neck, and left a little water stain on the collar of his white shirt.
Thinking of his appointment with Xiang Yao, he asked Old Nie, who was watering the vegetables at the foot of the yard, "Dad, is anyone looking for me?"
Old Nie turned around and smiled: "Which one are you asking about?"
Young men often come to see Nie Baichuan. When he is busy collecting goods, some young men follow him and sometimes even come to his home.
When Nie Baichuan heard his father ask this, he knew that Xiang Yao must have been here, so he asked, "What did she say?"
Old Nie glanced at his son with disdain, thinking that he really wasn't as fun as he was when he was little. He had been so cute when he was little:
"The girl told you to go find her when you come back. She has something to discuss with you."
Nie Baichuan nodded: "Okay, thank you, Dad."
Old Nie was dissatisfied with his nonchalant attitude and said, "When you go to see them, bring something with you so they can feel your sincerity."
Nie Baichuan looked puzzled: "Huh?"
Old Nie felt that his son was too unromantic and said earnestly, "If you're dating a girl, you have to put in a little more effort. Also, you can't always look so stern. You have to be nice to her, otherwise, no matter how much the girl likes you, she won't want you anymore."
Nie Baichuan: ...
Nie Baichuan felt unusually uncomfortable, and his ears turned red.
He never thought that his father would think of this.
After a long while, he finally explained sullenly, "Dad, you misunderstood. She's not dating me."
