Xinxin blinked, "Grandma, is this true?"
Old Mrs. Chu looked at her with a smile, "Of course, Grandma doesn't lie!"
"Be good and go mow the lawn with grandma, okay?"
Xinxin nodded obediently, "Okay..."
As she spoke, Xinxin waved towards Pingping and called out, "Come here, brother, go cut the grass with grandma..."
Here, Yao Xiujuan sat opposite Yao Xiuli with a bad look on her face, and said in a cold tone, "Since when did you start to have such thoughts?"
"say!"
Yao Xiuli bit her lip and looked towards Yao Xiujuan with uneasiness. Seeing her staring at her, she lowered her head guiltily. Knowing that she could not escape, Yao Xiuli mustered up the courage to express her thoughts.
"Sister, this is it. When I lived here two years ago, I fell in love with him."
Yao Xiujuan stared at Yao Xiuli, "Xiuli, tell me, was it Li Zhiqing who first..."
"No, that's not it. Li Zhiqing has only spoken to me a few times. Big sister, you can't slander him!"
Yao Xiuli certainly understood what Yao Xiujuan said, so she waved her hand to explain before she finished speaking.
"Sister, I, I know that what I did was wrong. At that time, you and your brother-in-law both told me that we are different from the educated youth. The educated youth will definitely return to the city in the future, but..."
Yao Xiuli started to cry as she spoke, "But, sister, I really like him. I fell in love with him the first time I saw him. When I realized that I liked him, I avoided him..."
Yao Xiujuan had never experienced anything like this before, and her mind was completely confused. After a while, she finally regained some of her thoughts and exclaimed in disbelief, "So you haven't wanted to go on blind dates in the past two years just because of Li Zhiqing?"
Yao Xiuli stared into Yao Xiujuan's eyes and spoke after a while, "Sister, I said I'm not doing this for him, do you believe me?"
Yao Xiujuan looked at Yao Xiuli with an expression that said, "You're kidding me, idiot." "What do you think?"
Yao Xiuli smiled bitterly, "Sister, whether you believe it or not, I really don't want to go on a blind date because of him. Including me coming to take care of you this time, I don't have any other ideas..."
After a pause, she continued, "Sister, I'm not afraid of my reputation, but I can't let Li Zhiqing's reputation be damaged because of me, so..."
Before she finished speaking, Yao Xiujuan waved her hand and said, "Don't say you want to marry him. It's not like someone will marry you just because you want to!"
"What Grandma and the others said earlier were all speculations. After all, nothing has happened yet, so..."
After a pause, he continued, "So, let's not talk about this for now. You should have a good rest. We can discuss anything after your brother-in-law comes back."
After she finished speaking, Yao Xiujuan stood up and walked out of the house.
Standing outside, Yao Xiujuan looked up at the azure sky, sighed helplessly, and blamed herself. Why did she go out to pick wolfberries? Did she need wolfberries at home? She had absolutely no shortage of them!
No matter what, Li Jianmin saved Yao Xiujuan. In the evening, when everyone got off work, Yao Xiujuan took a large pot of homemade stewed chicken and went to the educated youth site with Old Lady Chu.
When Yao Xiujuan entered the educated youth camp, she saw Li Jianmin squatting by the well, washing clothes. She hurried forward to greet him, "Li educated youth..."
When Li Jianmin heard the noise, he turned around and saw Yao Xiujuan and Old Mrs. Chu. He quickly put the clothes he was washing back into the basin, stood up and went to greet them.
"Grandma Chu, sister-in-law Chu Tian..."
Old Mrs. Chu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Li Zhiqing, thank you so much for saving my daughter today..."
Li Jianmin moved two benches and placed them in front of the two people. He smiled and said, "Grandma Chu, you are really too polite. In that situation, even if it wasn't me, there would be someone else to save her..."
Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "I don't know whether others could save her or not. I only know that it was you who saved Xiu Li."
Yao Xiujuan continued, "Yes, we were lucky enough to have you rescue us in time. We really want to thank you, but as you know, your brother Chu Tian has been out driving a sports car and hasn't come back yet."
Li Jianmin waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, really no need to thank me..."
Old Madam Chu said in an unquestionable voice, "No, you can be polite, but we can't pretend that nothing happened..."
As he spoke, he took the basket that Yao Xiujuan had been carrying, placed it in front of Li Jianmin, and smiled, "Your brother Chu Tian is not here, so we can't invite you home for dinner. This is something we specially stewed at home this afternoon. Don't be disgusted. When your brother Chu Tian comes back, we will invite you home for a good meal..."
Li Jianmin looked at the basket on the ground and opened his mouth. Before he could refuse, he saw Old Mrs. Chu and Yao Xiujuan walking out of the educated youth site.
At this time, the educated youth Chen Jiefang came out, walked to Li Jianmin, bumped his shoulder, and smiled and teased, "You are lucky."
Li Jianmin glanced at him and asked, "Why is my luck so good?"
Chen Jiefang grinned, "Brother Chutian is the best-off in our brigade. His family owes you a favor, hehe, doesn't that mean..."
Li Jianmin frowned slightly, "Put away your dirty thoughts! I didn't think about anything else when I was saving people!"
Chen Jiefang put his arm around Li Jianmin's shoulders disapprovingly. "Oh, come on, come on. Why are you pretending in front of your brothers? Don't you envy the Chu Tian family's good life?"
“I’m not envious!”
Li Jianmin took his hand off his shoulder with disgust, bent down, picked up the basket and went back to his room.
Chen Jiefang looked at Li Jianmin's actions, his eyes rolled around, and he turned around and walked out of the educated youth point.
Here, Chu Tian rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion, "Second brother, where are we?"
Chu Min glanced at Chu Tian, curled his lips and chuckled, "Are you awake?"
"We are almost in Urumqi..."
Chu Tian paused rubbing his eyes and asked, "How long have I slept?"
Chu Min thought for a moment and said, "Five hours, right?"
Chu Tian was shocked. "So, you haven't stopped for these five hours?"
Chu Min shook his head, "No, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, second brother, can you please stop in front? We're almost in Wushi. You'd better not drive if you don't have a license."
Although there are no so-called traffic police now, every time when entering the city, there will be inspections by the city police to avoid unnecessary troubles, so every time when approaching a place, Chu Tian drives.
Chu Min nodded, "Okay."
The car entered the city and was not far from the regiment. When it was about to pass the Seventh Company, Chu Tian looked at Chu Min and suggested with a smile, "Second brother, we have purchased too much supplies. Why don't we unload them all at home first? Otherwise, it would be bad if others saw us when we returned to the transport team."
Chu Min smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."
