Yang Mei stared blankly at the chicken feet in her hand. The color was similar to that of the marinade. Then she looked at the remaining chicken feet in the box beside her, wondering what she was thinking.

She just didn't understand why this person could be so carefree and not have to worry about anything, even though they were from the same village and were of similar age.

Chicken feet are much cheaper than chicken, but there is absolutely no reason to squander them or even give them away. I thought about what the villagers said about the Xu family members being capable, and that one by one they became high-ranking officials and made a lot of money. Even the poorest of them were better off than them who worked in the fields to earn work points.

All in all, it was Grandpa Xu who had foresight. Even when people could not even afford food, he still insisted on letting them go to school.

Yang Mei didn’t quite understand the gap between herself and Xu Jiaojiao before. Although they dressed very differently, the villagers could still make two new clothes for her in a year. But after really getting to know her, she realized what a good life the girl lived.

She had no worries about food and drink, and she never wore the same clothes. She went to the county town every day, and she never felt reluctant to spend the money for train tickets several times a day. She even stayed in the city after she and Xie Zhi went there.

Staying in a hotel in the city is something Yang Mei dare not even think about. Most villagers just find a roof over their heads to make do with, and staying in a hotel is something only high-ranking officials can do.

I simply couldn't understand why I had to live in the city when I already had a home in the village. It was said that it cost several yuan a night.

Xu Jiaojiao waved her hand in front of Yangmei and smiled: "Yangmei, what's wrong with you? It's delicious. Come and try it. There are also chicken wings."

After saying that, he ignored everyone and went down to the river. He then went to Xie Zhi's side and splashed water with Xu Ze. "Brother, don't splash me, or I won't buy you delicious food next time."

Xu Ze grinned, smiling extremely happily, and threw another handful of water at her: "Xu Jiaojiao, you dare to threaten me, I won't run errands for you next time."

The girl's eyes were splashed so hard that she could hardly open them. All she could see was a mist, which was very beautiful. Xie Zhi watched silently and did not intervene in the fight between the two. She could not bear being splashed so she hid behind the man.

"Xie Zhi, help me, help me."

Xu Yan smiled gently as he watched the guys playing around. He glanced at Yang Mei who was extremely nervous and sighed, "Eat it. It's delicious."

She looked at the handsome guy comforting her gently, his eyes like peach blossoms were particularly affectionate. Yangmei took one look and immediately lowered her head, her cheeks so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

He stammered, "Okay."

Then she ate the chicken feet and found them delicious. The girl knew at the first taste that there were a lot of sesame oil, star anise and various herbs in it, otherwise the taste would not be so good.

When I think of my own home, I either have spicy moldy tofu that goes well with rice, or dishes that only taste of salt, which is in stark contrast to the delicious chicken feet.

They finished eating quickly, and Xu Jiaojiao came to eat with them. Braised food is really delicious and doesn’t take up too much space in the stomach. After finishing the meal, they can buy some vegetables to braise. The marinade is sealed and placed in the well, so they can be taken out and boiled next time they are eaten.

"Is it tasty?"

Yang Mei hesitated for a long time, and said in one breath: "Jiaojiao, I may have to give you the money after a long time."

"No problem, give it to me when you have it."

"Jiaojiao, let's go back. It's getting dark."

"Yeah, it's a holiday anyway, we can play again tomorrow."

"good."

Xu Jiaojiao washed her slippers in the water, then put them on, swung her legs, and watched several people collecting leftovers on the shore, including some bone remains, which they were going to take back to feed the dogs.

"Yangmei, please go back early and be careful."

"good."

Yang Mei walked with them to the center of the village, and then went their separate ways. She sniffed it with her hand and it smelled very fragrant. Even now, if she put it in her mouth and sucked it a few times, it would be a good food.

The girl wandered around the village for a long time, trying to get rid of the smell on her body and hands, so as to avoid being discovered by her family, who would then beat her up.

Yangmei wandered around aimlessly and when she came to her senses again, she found that she had arrived at the most desolate area in the village. There were only two simple thatched houses. They were originally for the teachers downstairs to live in. Those people had gone back a long time ago and the area had been deserted and no one came.

Yangmei turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly a cry of pleasure or pain came from the house. She stopped and was about to leave. She was very familiar with this sound, which came from her parents' room almost every night.

When I was a child, I didn’t know what it was, but as I grew older, I gradually understood it. I slowly approached and looked into the room in the residual light of the moon. There were two people lying there, one was Sheng Jie and the other’s face could not be seen clearly.

Yang Mei clearly saw what happened in the room, her pupils widened, and she wanted to scream immediately.

The girl suddenly covered her lips. How could there be two men? She stood for a while and tried to see clearly who the man on her was. Until she saw the face clearly, she wanted to scream out immediately.

Isn't that the new educated youth? His name is An Yu. I heard that he is quiet and never gets along with others, but he is good-looking and many girls still pay attention to him. But this man is with men and nothing else.

Yangmei walked back cautiously, and only dared to run two miles after she was far away from the house. Her heart was beating wildly, as if it would stop beating in the next second. What the hell was going on?

The fact that two men could also be together greatly shocked her mind. She thought Sheng Jie would be with Xu Jiaojiao, and even if he didn't like her anymore, he would be with Shen Yun. But who knew that he would be with a man, and they were openly together.

With this secret in her heart, sometimes she didn't dare to look at Sheng Jie when she saw him working in the fields. As soon as she looked at him, she would remember the lustful look on this man's face that night, and her cold white cheeks would turn slightly red.

Sheng Jie's physical condition is obviously not good. It would take his life to pull out the peanuts. His fair skin shines brightly in the sun, like a fairy in the sky. It has to be said that this man is quite handsome.

An Yu put down the work in his hands and turned to the area assigned to Sheng Jie. After working there, the centimeters also belonged to this man. He was very strong. He bent down to pull the peanuts, threw them aside, and then threw all the pulled peanuts into a secluded place.

An Yu is very tall, about 1.9 meters tall, with a cold and pale face, but his muscles are quite impressive. He pushed Sheng Jie over with one hand, looked at him with his dark pupils, and softened his tone: "Let me help you, you just sit and pick the peanuts."

Sheng Jie's face was full of embarrassment, but he didn't say anything because he was feeling so uncomfortable. He sat quietly in a secluded place, picking peanuts and watching An Yu busying around. His thin waist was very strong, and beads of sweat fell from his forehead and then rolled into his chest and abdomen. His hormones were off the charts.
