Chapter 35 Do you have a dry towel?
Xu Zhiyi looked at the flashlight still stubbornly emitting a faint yellow light, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned off the flashlight.
"I am also a member of the educated youth center, and I should contribute my part."
Moreover, she didn't put in much effort at all, she was just holding up a flashlight.
This flashlight belongs to someone else.
Without the light of the flashlight, it was pitch black all around and I couldn't see the road at all.
Xie Wenzhe suggested, "Zhiyi, let me take you back."
"Comrade Xie, Xu Zhiqing lives in my house, I can just go back with her." Wen Jun said in a normal tone.
Xie Wenzhe was stunned. He really had forgotten this.
Indeed, Zhiyi is now living in the Wen family and can go back with Wen Yun. If he insists on sending her back, it will probably arouse suspicion.
"Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Wen." Xie Wenzhe looked at Wen Yun with a smile.
Wen Jun nodded and whispered to Xu Zhiyi beside him, "Let's go?"
"Yeah." She replied softly and quickly turned on the flashlight.
Two figures walked along the dim path.
The other three educated youths saw this harmonious scene and couldn't help but praise Wen Yun.
"Comrade Wen is indeed a soldier. He is very strong. He can accomplish a project that requires the three of us to complete alone."
"Now with Comrade Wen's help, the educated youth center will surely be completed in a much faster time."
What the three male educated youth said actually soothed Xie Wenzhe's uneasy heart.
Yes, as long as the youth educated youth center is completed soon, Zhiyi can move out of the Wen family sooner.
Thinking of Wen Yun's strong figure, Xie Wenzhe's sense of crisis deepened.
He had a good impression of Xu Zhiyi the first time he saw her by chance on the train.
In addition, during the past few days of working together, Xie Wenzhe discovered that she was not as pampered as other female educated youth who went to the countryside. In the difficult environment, she just silently wiped the sweat from her forehead and buried her head in her work, not affected by the complaints around her at all.
Xie Wenzhe's family is not bad. His mother is a salesperson in a state-owned shopping mall in Beijing, and his father is a fifth-level technical worker in an electronics factory. His family conditions are not bad. If it weren't for the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside, he could have inherited his father's job and stayed comfortably in Beijing.
He was reluctant to go to the countryside, but fortunately he met Xu Zhiyi, which made Xie Wenzhe feel that life in the countryside was not so hard. After getting through this period of trouble, his relationship with Zhiyi deepened. Then he would write a letter to his parents and ask them to find a reason to let him and Zhiyi return to the city together.
"I'm sorry, the flashlight is almost out of power because of my use." Xu Zhiyi stared at the yellowish beam of light in front of him guiltily.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative at the entrance of the village and ask if they have any batteries for sale."
On the country road, the only sounds were the two of their footsteps, the chirping of birds on the branches, and the rustling of animals passing through the woods.
If Xu Zhiyi was walking here alone, she would be scared, but at this moment she was not afraid at all.
Because of the man beside her, she felt safe.
"It's okay, I have spare batteries in my bag." Wen Jun said gently.
Xu Zhiyi shook his head and insisted, "No, this flashlight is dead because I used it. I should compensate you for the battery."
Wen Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "There's no need to be so polite between friends. Unless you don't consider me a friend?"
"Nothing." Xu Zhiyi explained in a low voice.
Wen Jun heaved a sigh of relief. "Then don't be so polite to me from now on. I'd also like to trouble you to keep an eye on Yan Yan for me."
Wen Jun promptly shifted the topic to Wen Sining, easing the awkward atmosphere.
Xu Zhiyi turned her head to look at him and asked in confusion, "What happened to Xuanxuan? What did you talk about just now?"
Wen Jun told Xu Zhiyi what Wen Sining had done before she came to the village.
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi's eyes widened in shock.
"You mean, all these things were done by Yan Yan alone?"
Wen Yun nodded. "Although Xuanxuan's illness has healed, it happened so suddenly and completely. I'm worried about any sequelae. As a grown man, it's not convenient for me to ask too many questions. She's your best friend, so I'd like you to pay more attention to Xuanxuan's behavior."
Wen Jun was afraid that Wen Sining would do something shocking again.
Xu Zhiyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will pay more attention to Yanyan."
Wen Si Ning, who was sleeping soundly at home, was completely unaware of his grandparents' conspiracy.
After returning home, Wen Yun went back to the kitchen.
Xu Zhiyi returned to the room first and saw Wen Sining sleeping soundly. She tiptoed to get a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to change.
As soon as she walked out of the house, she ran into Wen Yun coming out of the kitchen.
Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, slid across his sharp face, and hit his clothes on his chest along his chin, soaking a large area.
Xu Zhiyi saw that his face was flushed and the hair on his forehead was wet.
She asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Wen Yun lifted the kitchen curtain and said to her, "There's hot water in the pot. I'll get you a basin. Go wash up in it."
"Did you go to boil water just now?" Xu Zhiyi tightened his grip on the clothes.
Wen Yun nodded, his expression unchanged as he said, "There's sawdust and dust all over the educated youth camp. The wind will blow it all over my clothes and body. It's better to wash it to feel better."
Xu Zhiyi whispered thank you to him. She originally just wanted to wipe herself clean and change her clothes.
She didn't expect Wen Jun to be so thoughtful and even boiled hot water. Xu Zhiyi didn't want to spoil his fun.
Wen Yun was very sensible. After putting down the basin, he left the kitchen.
He went to the front door and locked it, then found a few wooden boards and blocked the kitchen door. After doing all this.
He said to Xu Zhiyi in the kitchen, "You wash it, I'll watch in the yard."
Xu Zhiyi raised his lips slightly, feeling very safe.
Soon the sound of running water was heard in the kitchen. Wen Jun turned his back to the kitchen, his eyes fixed on the tightly closed wooden door. His mind was wandering, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Soon, the sound of running water stopped and the wooden board was knocked gently.
The girl's soft and tender voice came through the wooden board, "Wen Yun, I'm fine."
He turned, strode forward, and moved the board away swiftly.
The kerosene lamp in the kitchen flickered with dim light. The girl in front of me had a slender figure and was wearing a white floral shirt and blue cloth pants.
Her long hair was wet and hung on her chest, with water droplets constantly dripping from the ends of her hair, soaking a large area of her shirt, so that one could even clearly see the underwear underneath.
With just one glance, Wen Jun suddenly turned his head, and a layer of red instantly appeared behind his ears.
The man asked her in a hoarse voice, "Do you have a dry towel?"
