Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong were stunned when they heard this. Shi Aihong whispered, "If it were me, I couldn't do it. I don't think I could ever do it."
Chu Jingqiu agreed and said, "This is indeed quite embarrassing. If the child is really hungry and can't wait, then you can cover it up before feeding. It's really embarrassing to feed with the baby exposed like this."
The loud speaker chuckled for a while, "Chu Zhiqing, Shi Zhiqing, you still say that now, but once you get married and have children, you won't be so embarrassed.
But I can't say for sure. You city people are all educated and particular about things. You are definitely different from us rough folks.
I just heard Yueming's mother drive out several half-grown children, saying that Pingping wanted to feed the baby.
My wife Yueming is also a very particular person and doesn’t like others watching her breastfeeding.”
Chun Niang kept fanning herself, beads of sweat still dripping down her face. "You guys are just too particular. When it's hot working in the fields, the girls in my village are so hot they wear floral vests, and if they're not careful, they expose most of their chests, and no one says anything."
It was a hot summer day, and the weather was sweltering. Du Yueming was eating from a big pot, and the three of them were sweating profusely. After the meal, the three of them planned to sweat off their sweat by the river before going back to take a nap.
There were many people playing in the river. Suddenly, a fish hit Shi Aihong, which scared her. The three of them looked closely and saw Zhou Weidong greeting them.
Shi Aihong glared at him, "Zhou Weidong, you want to scare me to death! You scared me, how come you came out of Pingping's house so quickly?"
Zhou Weidong smiled and said, "I couldn't stand the heat. I came over after finishing my meal. How about the fish I caught? They're quite big, aren't they? I'll give you two more later. I'll stew a pot of mixed fish and pancakes tonight! Just remember to send me a bowl when the time comes."
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "No problem, I'll take it on Aihong's behalf. Come over to our place tonight for dinner, and we'll keep you full."
"And me too. I was the one who caught the fish. Zhou Weidong is a landlubber, how could he have caught the fish?
I grew up near the water, so I'm a good swimmer." Jiang Qingzhou emerged from the water and threw two fish onto the shore.
Lin Zishan blushed, and she said softly, "Okay, you all come over to eat tonight! I'll make some more pancakes."
Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong exchanged a glance, then looked at Lin Zishan at the same time. Shi Aihong playfully joked, "Sister Zishan, it seems there's a story behind this!
Secretary Jiang doesn't usually talk to girls, but this time he actually approached us and even suggested having dinner together. "Do you two have a secret? Tell the truth!"
Zhou Weidong wasn't a great swimmer, so he just played in the shallows. He laughed and said, "You guys don't understand this! Lao Jiang is already pursuing Lin Zhiqing. Judging from Lin Zhiqing's expression, they're definitely going to be together, haha..."
Lin Zishan's face turned even redder when she heard this. She picked up a stone and threw it at Zhou Weidong, splashing water all over his face. "Zhou Weidong, what nonsense! Who promised him...?"
Jiang Qingzhou became anxious when he heard this. "Zishan, didn't you agree to date me when we went to the town meeting the day before yesterday? How come you changed your mind after just two days?"
Lin Zishan stamped her feet in anger, "Fool, I won't talk to you anymore, you are such a blockhead."
After saying that, she ran towards the educated youth point with a red face. Chu Jingqiu smiled and took Shi Aihong's hand and chased after her.
In the evening, Zhou Weidong and Jiang Qingzhou brought some cornmeal and helped the two of them clean the fish. They worked together to stew the fish in an iron pot and also made a large pot of pancakes.
They set up the table under a big tree in the backyard and ate and chatted.
Shi Aihong gossiped, "Sister Zishan, can you tell us how Lao Jiang pursued you?"
Lin Zishan and Jiang Qingzhou exchanged a glance, and Lin Zishan muttered softly, "Just let him speak, he's shameless!"
Zhou Weidong coughed and said, "Let me tell you about it. I'm sure they'd be too embarrassed to tell you about it. It's not as exciting as mine."
Jiang Qingzhou patted Zhou Weidong and said, "Weidong, let me tell the story first! You can save yourself from adding unnecessary details and nonsense."
Jiang Qingzhou coughed lightly and cleared his throat. "Actually, when I was in the hospital last time, Zishan took such good care of me that I developed a good impression of her. However, at that time, I couldn't tell whether the feeling was love or gratitude.
Later, I found that I would unconsciously pay attention to Zishan's every move in the crowd, and every time I saw her, my heart would beat fast.
I will remember her gentle smile and caring eyes, and I know that my feelings towards her are not just gratitude, but true love.
Until that day when the team gave me a recruitment quota, I was actually a little reluctant to leave Qingshan Brigade.
Especially when I found that my name was not on the list at the county hospital, I felt secretly happy. I couldn’t figure out why at the time.
When I returned to the educated youth point and saw the surprise in Zishan's eyes when she knew I was staying, I was truly certain that the reason I didn't want to leave was that I wanted to stay and be with her.
So I boldly wrote her a letter. At first, Zishan was still worried that I couldn't forget my ex-girlfriend, so she asked me to give her some time and wait until I had completely forgotten my ex-girlfriend before we could talk about our previous relationship.
Lin Zishan bit her lip and asked tentatively: "You said so much, have you forgotten her?"
Jiang Qingzhou nodded heavily, "Of course, ever since she stopped replying to my letters, I knew that it was impossible for us to be together.
I gave up my job and went to the countryside for her, but she stayed in the city quietly. There is nothing to be nostalgic about with a woman who cannot share our hardships.
Zishan, give me a chance and prove it to you. I believe we share the same ideals and can make progress together and establish a close revolutionary friendship."
Chu Jingqiu jokingly said, "Jiang Qingzhou, I never thought you were so eloquent. It seems that after becoming the deputy secretary, your tongue has become even more eloquent."
"That's right. Haven't you noticed that Old Jiang has changed a lot recently and looks more and more like an official?" Zhou Weidong agreed.
Shi Aihong shouted happily: "That's great, our educated youth site has one more couple."
A few people were talking excitedly when they suddenly heard someone shouting at the door of the educated youth site.
Wu Shuangshuang ran over in a panic, shouting, "Jiang Zhiqing, go check it out! Baogen is drunk and cursing at the gate of our Zhiqing camp!"
The curses were so harsh that Yuan Zhiqing was so angry that he started crying. Yue Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing were about to beat him up but were stopped by the others.
"You should go and have a look! There are several hooligans at the door, all from other villages, and we don't know them. If this continues, I'm really afraid of a fight."
