The girls' silver bell-like laughter attracted the attention of people nearby. Some of them gossiped about the visitors, some looked nostalgic, and some looked jealous.
However, these looks, whether good or bad, did not affect Nanqiao and Shen Nian.
"Qiaoqiao, have you finished your work in town? I've heard gossip these days that you're doing really well!" Shen Nian was so proud as if all the compliments were directed at her.
Nanqiao laughed when she said that and said jokingly, "Is that really all the gossip?"
"Ignore them. They are the ones who can't stand seeing others doing well. They are afraid that others' well-being will take away their jobs. They don't even consider whether they have the ability to earn that job." Shen Nian spoke louder and louder, and then looked behind him.
Nanqiao also followed Chen Nian's gaze and looked back, only to see that the few educated youths who had been at odds with Nanqiao were all there.
Li Yufeng, Dong Jiayan, Su Mu, Qin Fang, but Wang Yuman is missing
Nanqiao retracted his gaze, pulled Shen Nian to the big tree on the side, and then asked in a low voice, "Why did those people get together again?"
Shen Nian glanced over there, and was a little surprised at the relationship between those people. "Speaking of which...it has to be your eldest brother..."
"My elder brother? What happened to my elder brother?" Nanqiao didn't understand why Chen Nian said that. How could someone who had nothing in common with her elder brother be related to her?
"Speaking of which, this is outrageous..." Shen Nian pouted after saying this, paused and continued, "Wang Yuman likes your elder brother, did you know? I heard it's been a long time..."
"Uh....you are talking nonsense..." Nanqiao's face was full of disbelief...
"Really! This is why Li Yufeng was able to join Dong Jiayan and Su Mu's small group."
"This is a bit outrageous. My brother has been in the army for many years, and we rarely see each other in a year. Where does she like to go..." Nanqiao still didn't believe it.
"I don't know. Wasn't it your brother who often took you to town during that period? Later, you got a job as a translator. It seems Dong Jiayan scolded you and your brother as well. Wang Yuman then said a few words on your brother's behalf, which was directed at Dong Jiayan. Dong Jiayan didn't think it was a big deal at the time. She thought it was because of your brother's job that Wang Yuman defended him."
"Later, Li Yufeng came to our room one day and found Wang Yuman's diary. There were some things about your elder brother in it. Li Yufeng tore off a few pages and gave them to Dong Jiayan. Others might not think much of a few pages, but they have been friends for many years. How could Dong Jiayan not recognize Wang Yuman's handwriting? In addition, you recently worked as a translator and didn't have to work. Dong Jiayan was already very jealous. Now her good friend also likes your brother. She exploded immediately and brought up all the old accounts that she thought were Wang Yuman's protection of you. The quarrel was fierce and the scolding was very ugly..."
"Isn't this outrageous..." Nanqiao is really speechless.
"Not to mention that Wang Yuman didn't say anything, she didn't protect me at all. Besides... it's just a non-existent thing, why is she making such a fuss? This friendship... is really plastic."
"What kind of friendship is this? It's just that one person gets to take advantage of the other, and the other doesn't have to take the lead in everything. With interests at stake, it's only a matter of time for a dispute to arise. However, the fact that Dong Jiayan exploded so quickly this time was also due to Su Mu's contribution."
"What did he do again?"
"The point is that he didn't do anything! Ever since Dong Jiayan coaxed Su Mu last time, Su Mu would help Dong Jiayan with work or take care of her. Later, I don't know what happened, Su Mu became more and more indifferent to her, and later he didn't even say a word a day. That kind of indifference is like I won't even look at you before you die." Shen Nian shuddered as she spoke, thinking that Su Mu's recent state was really weird...
At this point, Nanqiao subconsciously glanced in the direction of Sumu, only to see that he was also staring at her straight, without blinking, his scorching gaze gave Nanqiao a faint feeling of discomfort. Just as Nanqiao was wondering what would happen in the middle, Sumu smiled at Nanqiao. That smile... He was obviously a bookish and sunny boy, but he gave Nanqiao a sense of maturity that did not belong to his age.
Nanqiao frowned slightly and looked away, "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with this Su Mu..."
"Something is seriously wrong. Su Mu used to have a good relationship with Li Zhuoran and Wang Feng. They usually talked and laughed with each other. But since he ignored Dong Jiayan, he has talked less with Li Zhuoran and the others. I heard from Li Zhuoran that the male educated youth only talked to him a few words a day except for eating and working."
Perhaps Su Mu's gaze just now made Nanqiao uncomfortable. Now that he mentioned this person, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he talked about other things and changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to Aunt Xiumei's house for dinner tonight, and then I'll go back to the educated youth camp to sleep with you. Wait for me at night."
"That's great. The sun was shining brightly a few days ago, so I dried your quilts while I was drying them. It's just in time for you now."
“Oh, my Nian Nian is so considerate. When I was not around, you helped me dry my bedding.” Nanqiao said as he stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Nian, saying coquettishly
Yaya, who was originally playing with her teddy bear in Nanqiao's arms, was suddenly caught in the hug of the two and started laughing again.
Shen Nian then teased Nanqiao, "You haven't even entered the house yet, and you've already started helping take care of your niece."
"What? Taohua is still here. I don't have anything to do, so I followed her out." Nanqiao said, looking down at Yaya in his arms.
