Although Gu An'an was quite thick-skinned, she still felt a little embarrassed by their praise. Before she could say anything to stop them from continuing, the old woman shouted, "Gu, don't be shy! These are all our heartfelt words."
Zhou Yue also heard the commotion and ran over. As a fan of An'an, how could she not chime in? She immediately squeezed into the crowd and hugged Gu An'an tightly, saying, "As expected, the aunties and grandmas in our village have good taste. My An'an is the best and most amazing."
Okay, she's the best.
Gu An'an was too lazy to explain, since they probably wouldn't listen anyway.
"Alright, we've seen the person. Go do what you're supposed to do and let Gu Zhiqing go back and get some rest."
The village chief spoke, and everyone reluctantly made way, but left the others behind.
That's Haishi! There are only a handful of people in the whole village who have been there. We should definitely ask around so we'll have more to talk about when we visit relatives and friends in the future.
Watching Gu An'an walk away, Wang Xiaojuan felt envious. She hadn't slept well for several days and missed her bed at home, but she decided to stay. She couldn't let these people's curiosity get the better of her and then bother Sister An'an again.
And so, all three of them were kept behind and told everything they could.
Lin Qingqing has not been having a good time lately. First, she framed Gu An'an, and then Gu An'an helped the village sell goods. Her reputation couldn't be better. Relatively speaking, those who used to fawn over her have also been swayed by this trend.
No one secretly brought her food, no one secretly helped her with chores, she had to rely on herself for everything, and even though it had only been a month or two, she felt like she had aged several years.
Listening to everyone praising Gu An'an, Lin Qingqing's downcast eyes were filled with hatred. If it weren't for Gu An'an, she would have lived a good life even if she were in the village.
It was all Gu An'an's fault.
"What? Are you jealous?"
Li Yumei's voice suddenly rang in her ears, making Lin Qingqing's expression even worse.
"Jealousy won't help. You don't even know if you have the ability, humph!"
After saying that, Li Yumei carried a basket of wild vegetables on her back and walked towards the educated youth compound, without even giving Lin Qingqing a second glance.
She still has things to do, unlike those lazy people who like to eat and do nothing.
Gu An'an and Zhou Yue walked towards the courtyard, chatting and laughing. As soon as they reached the door, Zhou Yue called out to them, "Brother Zhao, is the water ready?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Hu came out of the kitchen and smiled broadly when he saw Gu An'an. "It's ready. Gu Zhiqing, please wash up first. The food will be ready soon."
When the others returned to the kitchen, Gu An'an looked at Zhou Yue with a gossipy gaze, her meaning clear: tell me honestly, what happened?
Zhou Yue wasn't stupid; she could easily see through her meaning, and her face flushed red instantly.
"It's not what you think. Oh, go wash up first, I'll talk to you later."
After saying that, she dashed to the kitchen, "What should I do? What should I do? An'an has found out about our relationship."
Zhao Hu was amused by her reaction and reached out to pat her head. "What? Am I not presentable enough?"
Zhou Yue slapped his hand away. "Just talk, don't get physical. She's only been gone a short time, and we're already together. Won't she think I abandoned her?"
Gu An'an had just reached the kitchen door when she heard this, and mischievously interrupted, "I came in to get some water, I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
Zhou Yue immediately jumped away from Zhao Hu, waving her hands repeatedly, "I won't bother you, I won't bother you."
Then he felt that something was off about what she said, but he couldn't figure out what it was, so he could only take out a water ladle to fetch water for Gu An'an.
"Go wash first, go wash first."
Gu An'an stopped teasing her and took the hot water back to her room. After locking the door, she went into her spatial dimension, as it was more comfortable to take a bath there.
The sound of Gu An'an closing the door rang out, and Zhou Yue turned around, looking frustrated. "What should I do? How can I tell An'an so she doesn't feel abandoned?"
"You abandoned her?"
Zhou Yue shook her head.
"An'an won't let you date?"
Zhou Yue continued to shake her head.
"Is it because our relationship is something we shouldn't show to others?"
Zhou Yue shook her head like a rattle drum.
"That settles it. I like you, and you like me. Just tell me the truth."
When Gu An'an came out after taking a shower, Chen Jianguo also returned, and the three of them sat together at the table waiting for Gu An'an.
Zhou Yue, in particular, looked like a primary school student being scolded, which almost made Gu An'an burst out laughing, ruining her carefully constructed facade.
"Have a meal."
At her command, everyone picked up their chopsticks at the same time. Of the four people at the table, Zhou Yue ate casually, as if afraid that Gu An'an might suddenly ask a question that would choke her.
But Gu An'an didn't say anything until the meal was over. Just when she thought the matter was over, Gu An'an asked.
"What did you two say? When are you going to get things done?"
Zhou Yue immediately waved her hand, "No, no, no, it's too early to talk about that."
Anyone else might have been angry, but Zhao Hu couldn't get angry at all. His girlfriend treated his best friend better than him.
That's good.
“An’an, things aren’t what you think. I didn’t plan to commit to a relationship so soon. It’s all Qian Xiaojun’s fault.”
Qian Xiaojun?
Upon hearing this name, Gu An'an frowned slightly, clearly not having a good impression of this person. "Has he caused trouble again?"
Zhou Yue nodded, "I was sleeping that night when I was woken up by rustling noises outside the door. Luckily, you had Brother Erniu reinforce the door and lock for me, so he didn't break in."
“I was home alone and I was terrified. I immediately called for help. It was Brother Zhao who heard the commotion and came over. He even found Qian Xiaojun hiding in the haystack.”
"Honestly, I can't even imagine what I would have done if it weren't for Brother Zhao that night!"
Chen Jianguo had been the senior member of the educated youth compound for several years and had a lot of contact with Qian Xiaojun and the others. Even so, he never expected that the other party would do such a beastly thing. "Qian Xiaojun is really getting worse and worse."
Qian Xiaojun was notoriously lazy in the village. He broke into Zhou Yue's door in the middle of the night. You can imagine what he was thinking with that shit-filled head of his. He just thought that once a girl lost her virginity, she would be easy to manipulate, and he wanted the "rich woman" Zhou Yue to support him.
Pah! He's not good-looking, but he has such a big dream.
"How was this matter handled? Is he still in the brigade?"
Zhou Yue immediately shook her head, "No, Brother Zhao took him directly to the village chief's house. The village chief locked him up overnight and sent him to the commune police station the next day. I heard he's been sent down to a farm for reform."
