"I heard you became a regular employee of the state-owned restaurant? You're not bad."
Jiang Xiaoan originally wanted to praise Jiang Shushu, but when he thought about his previous bad relationship with Jiang Shushu, although Jiang Xiaoan was very grateful to Jiang Shushu for sending the medicine soup to his grandfather, he still couldn't say those emotional words.
"It's okay, same here."
"This time I went on a business trip to the north with my master and brought back some local specialties - bacon. Come to my house for dinner tonight, there's plenty of meat."
"So generous? I've eaten a lot. If I don't eat enough tonight, I won't come back."
"Don't worry, if I say you can have as much as you want, it will definitely be enough. I'll ask you to pack some for your meal." How much can you eat? At most, you can only eat two taels.
Jiang He and his wife had not returned yet, so Jiang Shushu guessed that they had been invited to dinner. When it was almost time for dinner, Jiang Shushu and Jiang Xiaoan went to Jiang Xiaoan's house together.
When we were halfway there, we met four people from the Youth League Institute.
Since he started working, he had been leaving home late every day, and Jiang Shushu had never seen the four people from the Youth Home again. Unexpectedly, he saw that the sun had aged them. The former youthful vigor was gone, and the four of them had become darker. Although they were still more handsome than the people in the village, they were only average-looking now, and they no longer made people feel bright.
The four educated youths felt very uncomfortable when they saw Jiang Shushu's aunt and nephew, the influential figures of Jiangjia Village. The two rural residents got iron rice bowls and became city dwellers. They were originally city dwellers, but now they have been reduced to country people, working the land every day.
Zhang Meihua looked at Jiang Shushu's rosy face, and then thought about her own face which was getting darker and rougher when she looked in the mirror last night. She was almost jealous to death and wished she could take over Jiang Shushu's life.
Zhang Meihua calmed herself down and said with a smile, "Shushu, it's been a long time since we last met. We haven't seen each other since you started working. Do you want to go to the Youth League compound? He Aiguo and Xu Jianan caught a wild rabbit yesterday, and we were planning to cook it tonight. Come over and eat rabbit meat with us."
Xu Jianan also smiled gently, his eyes full of affection, and said silently, "Yes, come over when you have time to eat rabbit meat with me."
Jiang Shushu: "..." Is Xu Jianan sick? He used to ignore me, but now he looks at me with such strange eyes. Is he unable to bear the hardship of the countryside and looking for someone to take advantage of him? I am not the original owner, so I am not crazy. I am living a hard life myself, how can I support someone who is just sitting around doing nothing?
"No, thank you for your invitation. You can eat by yourselves. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first." Jiang Shushu said and left. People with different beliefs cannot work together.
Zhang Meihua lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see her unwilling look.
I originally had a lucky mentality, thinking that Jiang Shushu was playing hard to get. Now it seems that Jiang Shushu really has no feelings for Xu Jianan anymore. It seems that my plan to use Xu Jianan to gain benefits from Jiang Shushu is no longer feasible.
Xu Jianan's face was filled with embarrassment, and he was in a very bad mood. This woman used to chase him around, but now that she had a job, she looked down on him. She was truly a vain woman who despised the poor and loved the rich. Humph, he had really misjudged her.
Zhang Guihua complained: "It's so great to have a job! You didn't even go to eat meat when you were asked to. It would have been better if you didn't come, so we could have had a few more bites. I didn't even know who it was back then? I ran to the Youth League House eagerly to see Brother Jian'an."
He Aiguo didn't say anything, but just watched the three people perform quietly, just to add some fun to his life.
Things are different now. They don't even consider the status of others, their own status, and yet they take it for granted and plot against them. Isn't that ridiculous? Don't they even look in the mirror? With Xu Jianan looking so shabby right now, he's still trying to use his beauty on others? Come on, they're not blind. Isn't Xu Jianan even as good-looking as his nephew?
Jiang Xiaoan pretended to cough twice, "Stay away from those educated youth. They look like they have evil intentions, especially Xu Jianan."
"Is this the first time you've seen them?"
"What's wrong with the first time? I have good eyesight. They're not good looking. Only that big guy (He Aiguo) looks okay."
"They do have good eyesight. Don't worry, I'm not familiar with them. I only chatted with them a few times when they first came here because they looked good. After I started working, I haven't seen them since."
Jiang Xiaoan was still worried. Jiang Shushu had always wanted to be a city dweller, but even though she was a city dweller now, who knew if she'd become overly savvy? She might think Q City was too small and want to move to a bigger city. These educated youth were all from Beijing, so she had to be on guard.
"It's good that you understand. In a few months, they'll only get darker. Don't be fooled by the fact that educated youth come from the city. It sounds glorious, but those who can come to the countryside either have poor family conditions or are no longer favored. So it's stupid to date an educated youth. You might even have to support him."
Jiang Xiao was afraid that Jiang Shushu didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so he continued, "You also know that this time I went to the north with my master. To be honest, I'm not used to going to the north. Not to mention the different customs, I'm not used to the food and drink. Do you know how bad the steamed bread there is? It's so rough that it gets stuck in the throat, and eating a bite of steamed bread feels like torture, you know? During the time in the north, it was the first time I missed the sweet potatoes that made me want to vomit. It was the first time I felt how delicious the sweet potatoes and potatoes we eat are, and the juice they drink in the morning almost made me vomit out my overnight meal. I suffered a lot during my time in the north. The north is not a place for us southerners." So don't yearn for it.
"I understand. I'm not stupid. My money didn't come from the sky, so how could I possibly support someone who doesn't have time? Besides, I like good-looking people, and the current looks of the educated youth don't meet my standards."
…
The two of them arrived at Jiang Xiaoan's house together, just in time as they were preparing to eat.
Jiang Shushu glanced at the dining table. On it was a large plate of fried bacon with green peppers. At most, the bacon weighed two kilograms, and it didn't look like something you could eat to your heart's content.
It had been a long time since Jiang Shushu had eaten bacon, and he looked very greedy. After his elders started eating, he immediately picked up a piece of fat and lean bacon and put it in his mouth. He took a bite, then quickly spit it back into his own bowl and ate three mouthfuls of sweet potato rice.
My goodness, how can I eat meat here? This is clearly salt, it's so salty. No wonder Jiang Xiaoan swore that there was plenty of meat. With this saltiness, I dare say that if I can't eat this plate of meat for three consecutive days, I lose.
