Chapter 183 One More Wrong Than the Other
Mu Nanzhao laughed at himself and muttered to himself, "Surveillance? Knowing what you hate the most, why would I do that?"
Mu Nanzhao did make arrangements in Huachidu Village.
Master Liu arrived to bring people to protect Gu Xixi and even the entire village.
All this was made clear on the night Master Liu and Gu Xixi met.
The second is the children in the village school.
To be honest, even Mu Nanzhao himself didn't believe it.
In the past few months, he not only gradually adapted to Mr. Chen's position, but even developed a sense of responsibility as a real teacher.
Maybe it was because of the eager eyes of the children, maybe it was because of the childish "sir", or maybe it was because the years in school were simple and pure, without any intrigue...
When Mu Nanzhao was at the border, he regretted the choice he had made for the first time.
He shouldn't have agreed to be a teacher for some reason! He was so worried when he left.
So Mu Nanzhao called out "Master Liu".
Mr. Liu's knowledge and talent are not inferior to Mu Nanzhao.
More importantly, Master Liu is gentle and patient, and he is more suitable to teach in the village school than Mu Nanzhao.
The reason why Mu Nanzhao did not defend himself just now was because Gu Xixi was not wrong to a large extent.
Mu Nanzhao originally had no plan to return to Huachidu Village.
There are too many people and too many things waiting for him outside.
But at the end of the secret letter in which Master Liu replied to him about serious matters, out of personal friendship, he added a casual remark.
He said that he saw a blue-eyed Hu man at Boss Gu’s house that night, and his behavior was ridiculous.
Master Liu retained the spirit of a scholar. He only wrote what he saw and did not make any gossipy elaborations.
After all, when Mu Nanzhao assigned him the task, he specifically told him not to monitor and record the Gu family's every move and not to disturb anyone's daily life.
Mu Nanzhao burned the new paper with a dark face and cursed, "You are such a troublemaker."
Of course he knew who the letter described.
An Qinghe, from the first time he met An Qinghe, the boy's feelings for Gu Xixi were obvious.
After that, the war with Beili broke out.
As a hidden think tank beside General Huo, Mu Nanzhao devoted himself to the cause and won several battles.
He seemed to have completely forgotten about Gu Xixi and everything about Huachidu Village.
Until the end of the last battle, when everyone returned to the camp victoriously and was about to take inventory and celebrate, Mu Nanzhao left a note for Huo Jiang and rode away on a fast horse at night.
…
Aunt Zhang came back humming a song, carrying a basket of vegetables, with an old doctor carrying a medicine box beside her.
The old doctor was coming back from a patient consultation, and the two met on the road in front of his house.
Before Mu Nanzhao could go back into the house, he was stopped by Aunt Zhang.
"Xiao Chen! Why are you standing there alone? Where's Xixi?"
"She went out with An Qinghe." This was the first time that Mu Nanzhao's mouth moved faster than his brain, and when he said the word "together", his tone involuntarily became heavier.
But he immediately realized something was wrong. Why did what he said sound like he was jealous?
In order not to make things worse, Mu Nanzhao remained silent with a wooden face.
Aunt Zhang was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the old doctor.
The old doctor is blind, which makes his perception sharper than that of ordinary people.
"Xiao An is a hard-working kid. He and I are both staying at our house temporarily, so it's inevitable that he wants to do more."
"Before Xixi came back this time, Xiaoan had been helping people all over the village and had become familiar with everyone in the village."
Aunt Zhang quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, Xiao An must have wanted to help Xixi, so he had to go with her."
Mu Nanzhao said dimly, "He is good at winning people's hearts."
Aunt Zhang was stunned again.
The yard was eerily quiet.
The old doctor smiled and said, "I have been taking care of your health in the past. I haven't seen you for a long time. It's time to take your pulse and see how you are recovering."
Mu Nanzhao did not object, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Jiang."
The old doctor walked towards the backyard and said, "Why are you troubling me? You used to come to my room every day to take medicine and get acupuncture. How come you become so distant after you went out?"
Mu Nanzhao followed the old doctor, took the medicine box off his shoulder, and carried it himself.
"Mr. Jiang, you are joking. You saved my life. How could I be estranged from you?"
The old doctor nodded with a smile.
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she watched the two of them walk towards the backyard.
She turned and looked out the door, muttering to herself, "No matter how good her relationship with Xiao An is, there is a difference between men and women after all. I think Xiao Chen seems to be a little concerned about this."
"What should I do?"
Aunt Zhang moved a small stool and picked vegetables in the yard in the sun.
She thought it was time for the village school to finish its classes, so she sat facing the main gate, looking up from time to time while working.
There are some things that elders are not good at saying directly, but fortunately, we have Miss He at home.
It is much more convenient for two girls to talk about their private matters.
He Jinglan and Xiao Shitou came back together. They were talking and laughing. It seemed that they had a good time in the village school today.
Aunt Zhang quickly stood up and sent Shi Tou to wash his hands first. She pulled He Jinglan aside.
Said like this.
A sharp light flashed in He Jinglan's eyes, "You said Xixi and Anqinghe walked out hand in hand in front of Chen Fang?"
Aunt Zhang exclaimed, "They didn't hold hands. When I came back, Xixi had already gone out!"
He Jinglan said, "That's pretty much what it means."
Aunt Zhang corrected him seriously, "Men and women should not touch each other, this kind of thing cannot be done in a casual way."
He Jinglan nodded, her eyes were vague, a smile was on her lips, and her mind was wandering somewhere else.
Aunt Zhang continued to plead, "I see that Xiao Chen seems to mind that you are close to Xixi. You can tell Xixi in private to keep a proper distance from Xiaoan in the future."
"Especially in front of Xiao Chen."
"It's good for everyone."
He Jinglan's smile faded, and she solemnly agreed to Aunt Zhang, "Okay, leave it to me, you don't have to worry about it."
Aunt Zhang sat back on the bench, then thought of something and looked up and said, "You don't know Xiao Chen yet."
"Let Xixi introduce you to each other during lunch later. You can also take a look at Xixi's future husband and see what he is like."
"Okay." He Jinglan said seriously. "Xixi and I are as close as sisters. It is my responsibility to help her make the final decision on her life."
She turned her back, finally unable to hold back her evil smile, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
It was after noon when Gu Xixi and An Qinghe returned home.
After washing my hands, I walked into the house smelling the delicious food and found the whole family was there.
An Qinghe was still excited and started talking about Gu Xixi's tea trees as soon as he entered the door.
"Tea leaves have already grown, from several different trees. Xixi said they still need to be screened. That's amazing!"
He held up a small cloth bag and said proudly, "Xixi and I have tried this kind of tea. It is the most fragrant and sweet."
Gu Xixi didn't say anything, just stared at the kang as if she had seen a ghost.
