A voice sounded not far away. Zhao Jiaojiao looked up and was stunned when she saw the person clearly. He looked like the senior she had a crush on back then, except that he was wearing patched clothes.
"Who are you?"
The person who came was Ling Yunrui. Seeing Zhao Jiaojiao standing by the river again, he thought she was depressed again. He had heard before that she went to the town to study. That morning, he watched Accountant Zhao drive the ox cart to take her to the town to study.
"You don't know me?" Ling Yunrui's face looked a little ugly. They lived in the same village. Although she had never worked in the fields to earn work points, she knew him.
He had jumped into the river to save her.
A heartless girl.
Zhao Jiaojiao shook her head, "I don't know him. Why are you here at this time?" At this time, she should not have finished work yet. She had lunch and then walked back from the town. It would be around three or four in the afternoon at most.
"Carry water to water the corn."
"You're busy, you're busy."
Zhao Jiaojiao quickly picked up her schoolbag and reluctantly left the river. She felt that the fish in the river were waving to her and they wanted to eat their meat.
Ling Yunrui frowned even deeper, and she left, as if avoiding him.
For a moment, he resented his landlord background. If he were not a landlord, would both families be discussing the marriage now?
Ling Yunrui watched her gradually receding figure, took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and turned around to get busy.
Zhao Jiaojiao pouted and continued walking home unhappily, she really wanted to eat meat.
Before she even reached the door of her home, she thought, since her parents and younger brothers and sisters were not at home, could she go into the mountains?
It's only May now, so there should be no snakes in the mountains. As the saying goes, "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water."
Zhao Jiaojiao saw the locked gate, looked around, stared at the wall, and easily climbed over it to get in.
Seeing that her room door was not locked, he went into the room, changed into patched clothes, carried a basket, and climbed over the wall again.
Little did she know that this scene was seen by Ling Yunrui. He had not expected that the girl who looked arrogant but quirky would do that. He was afraid that she would not go home obediently, so he came to check on her. However, he did not expect to see such a scene, which surprised him so much.
Zhao Jiaojiao had no idea that her actions were being seen by others.
Their village is called Zhaojia Village because more than half of the villagers have the surname Zhao.
Zhao Jiaojiao memorized the route as she walked, fearing that she wouldn't be able to find her way home when she returned.
I groped my way to the foot of the mountain, avoiding the people working on the ground. I picked up a stick and climbed the mountain gropingly. I was still afraid of encountering snakes. In this era, snakes are very rare.
We stopped and rested along the way. When we found chicken mushrooms, we were so excited that we rushed forward to pick them. We also found mulberries. When we found a hare, we were so excited that we put down the basket and chased the hare with our eyes shining. Maybe our desire to eat meat was too strong. We actually pounced on the hare, caught it, and looked so happy. We quickly tied the hare up with the bark of branches and covered it with weeds. We returned home vigilantly all the way.
"Sister, you're back." Zhao Jiaojiao, who had just returned home trembling with fear, was suddenly startled by a voice and almost dropped the basket in her hand.
"Keep your voice down." He scares people to death.
As soon as Zhao Lingling got out of school, she ran home because she knew that her elder sister was coming back from town today.
Zhao Jiaojiao coughed lightly and said, "Open the door."
