Chapter 67 Friends? No
After a round of inspection, Jiang Lan, who was waiting for Xie Jiaojiao at the registration office, heard the familiar sound of the horn signaling the end of work. Looking at the empty surroundings, she felt unwell.
Where are the people?
Where is her Jiaojiao teacher?
Jiang Lan looked into the distance with resentment, like an abandoned young wife, feeling so wronged and pitiful.
"Lanzi, what are you standing there for? Come over here and register your centimeters. Your aunt is in a hurry to go back and cook."
"I, I..." Jiang Lan, sweating profusely, replied dryly, "I'll be right there."
The sweat rolling down Jiang Lan's forehead blurred her vision. She looked at the scorebook and felt dizzy. The names and numbers on it disappeared, and there were only tadpoles of different sizes running around.
"Lanzi, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"I, no, I'm fine."
Aunt Liu didn't see Xie Jiaojiao, and looked at Jiang Lan who couldn't even hold a pen steadily. Suddenly, an idea came to her, and she understood something, and couldn't help but question out loud.
"Lanzi, are you okay?"
"Okay, why can't I!"
Jiang Lan suddenly became angry.
She is not stupid.
Jiaojiao, I said she is smart.
Jiang Lan took a deep breath, calmed herself, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Aunt Liu, four centimeters, put the hoe over there."
Aunt Liu just asked casually, and when she heard Jiang Lan's answer was correct, she immediately put down her hoe and left.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan's eyebrows relaxed, the corners of her eyes slightly raised, and she looked proud of herself.
With a successful start, Jiang Lan was able to do things easily afterwards.
It doesn’t seem that difficult?
Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Ye hurried over and saw Jiang Lan looking very excited in front of others.
She taught me!
Xie Jiaojiao raised her chin, a sense of pride that she shared with Rong Youyan surged in her heart.
Then, she asked Jiang Ye to line up, and she went forward to help Jiang Lan organize the farm tools.
Jiang Lan was so naive that she was completely focused on the scorebook and didn't notice that there was another person next to her. She also didn't realize that the farm tools she had checked and found to be undamaged and thrown aside were all taken by Xie Jiaojiao and taken into the warehouse.
Until Jiang Ye, who was at the end of the line, came forward.
"Jiang...ye..."
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Lan subconsciously searched for Xie Jiaojiao beside him, but couldn't find her.
"Where's Jiaojiao?"
"Where did you leave her?"
Jiang Lan's concern for Xie Jiaojiao helped her overcome her inner fear. She didn't care about anything else and just rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her waist and got to work.
Jiang Ye raised his eyes and glanced over coldly.
In an instant, Jiang Lan's bullfighting aura was half gone.
Her back was straight, her legs were trembling, and her hands that were pinching her waist slowly slid down. She unconsciously wanted to stand at ease and at attention, putting on an innocent and pitiful look that said, "I didn't do anything bad, don't hit me."
Jiang Ye took one look at Jiang Lan like this and felt extremely disgusted.
He knocked on the table: "Hurry up and register."
"Two centimeters."
Jiang Lan's heart suddenly sank, and when she came to her senses, the words had already uttered out.
Jiang Ye nodded, picked up the hoe, and walked to the side.
Jiang Lan was anxious: "Stop!"
"Where's Jiaojiao? Where did you put Jiaojiao?"
Jiang Ye is so fierce, what if he hits Jiaojiao?
Um!
He must have hit Jiaojiao, otherwise why wouldn't Jiaojiao come over?
"Did you hit Jiaojiao?"
Jiang Ye's expression was a little hard to describe.
"You're blind, go get a pair of glasses."
Jiang Lan's eyes widened. What nonsense! She had sharp eyes and could see clearly even from hundreds of meters away.
"Aye, are you done?"
Jiang Ye took over the work in Xie Jiaojiao's hands. He moved a small stool out of the warehouse and asked Xie Jiaojiao to sit outside and rest while he continued to work.
Looking at Jiang Ye's busy figure, Xie Jiaojiao vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.
Before Xie Jiaojiao could think about it, Jiang Lan, who heard her voice, hugged her tightly.
"Jiaojiao, you're okay, that's great."
Xie Jiaojiao was busy in the warehouse just now and didn't hear the conversation between Jiang Ye and Jiang Lan. Now, when she heard Jiang Lan's words as if she had survived a disaster, she couldn't help but feel puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it.
After Jiang Lan made sure that Xie Jiaojiao was fine, she quickly ran to the table and handed the registered centimeter book to Xie Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, do you think there's anything wrong?"
Xie Jiaojiao took the notebook and checked it carefully.
Although she watched Jiang Lan for a long time before entering the warehouse and confirmed that Jiang Lan did a good job, she should not be careless about matters of public interest.
A few minutes later, Xie Jiaojiao closed the scorebook.
She smiled and said, "Jiang Lan, you're great! I knew you could do it."
"Really?"
Jiang Lan's eyes flickered, and she, who had always been a tomboy, showed a rare hint of shyness on her face.
"certainly."
Hearing Xie Jiaojiao's affirmative answer, Jiang Lan's uneasy heart settled down.
"Jiaojiao, you taught me well."
"No, you have a good memory."
Jiang Lan squatted down and started to flatter Xie Jiaojiao.
Another three or five minutes later, Jiang Ye came out after finishing his work and interrupted their heated conversation.
"Jiaojiao, I'll take you back to the educated youth site."
"good."
Xie Jiaojiao turned to Jiang Lan and said, "Jiang Lan, you can register for centimeters on your own now. You can do it by yourself from now on."
It's only been one day, can she do it?
Jiang Lan was a little unsure.
"Jiaojiao..."
Xie Jiaojiao mistakenly thought that Jiang Lan was afraid and would not care about her anymore, so she made a promise.
"Jiang Lan, don't worry, I won't ignore you. I will continue to teach you arithmetic when I have time."
"Jiaojiao..."
"Jiang Lan." Jiang Ye, who felt that Jiang Lan was taking too long, warned her.
Jiang Lan shuddered all over, and she didn't know what she remembered. She pulled Xie Jiaojiao's arm, walked away, and lowered her voice.
"Jiaojiao, Jiang Ye is very fierce. If he wants to bully you, remember to tell me and I will protect you."
Jiang Ye's face was full of black lines. Should I speak louder?
He can hear it.
Unlike Jiang Ye's disdain, Xie Jiaojiao felt warm in her heart when she saw Jiang Lan thinking about her wholeheartedly.
She explained seriously: "Jiang Lan, you misunderstood."
"Aye looks fierce, but he's actually very nice."
Jiang Lan shook her head: "No, he looks fierce, but he's even more fierce when he's fighting."
Jiang Ye, whose secret was exposed, narrowed his eyes dangerously. In an instant, Jiang Lan got goose bumps all over her body.
"No, Aye was bullied this afternoon and was injured."
Jiang Lan was stunned and felt a little confused.
Yes, why couldn’t Jiang Ye beat the chicken-like Su Zhiqing?
Before Jiang Lan could think about it, Jiang Ye appeared beside Xie Jiaojiao and said to her in a cold tone, "Are you done?"
With such a shock, Jiang Lan's mind went into standby mode in an instant, and she was filled with fear.
"Aye, wait a moment."
Xie Jiaojiao thought Jiang Ye was talking to her, so she said something to comfort him and turned to Jiang Lan.
"Jiang Lan, I think you're great. Can we be friends?"
Xie Jiaojiao sincerely wanted to make friends with Jiang Lan. Her face was serious and her tone was formal. She stretched out her right hand and waited for Jiang Lan's response.
Although he seemed calm, his eyes were actually sparkling with anticipation, and his palms were sweating with nervousness.
"Friends? No."
When Jiang Lan heard this, she shook her head like a rattle.
