You never call me when you go up the mountain; it's always the same.
"It's inconvenient to bring you along, so you can stay in your room and read books whenever you have time."
“But I’ve been here all day, there’s not much to see in town, and my family will send me a package in a couple of days. I don’t need anything.”
When Zhang Shang heard Zhou Man say that, he fell silent. He sat quietly on the bed reading.
Zhou Man felt wronged when she saw that Zhang Shang was ignoring her again, but she didn't dare to say anything.
He has always been like this, always speaking very little to her, always silent.
Seeing the princess's aggrieved expression, Lu Xiao had no choice but to pick up the book from the bedside table and start reading.
Lu Xiao couldn't understand why her brother would take a liking to her if she didn't enjoy a good life in Beijing and came here to suffer.
How could that be? If I could have liked you, I would have done so already. Why would I need you to come to the countryside and suffer like this?
This woman is completely out of her mind; she's spoiled rotten at home.
Zhou Man sat for a while, but seeing that Zhang Shang and the others were all reading, she felt bored and turned to leave.
After Zhou Man left, Lu Xiao put down his book; reading was better than looking at that woman, Zhou Man.
"Do you think your family would dare to send you letters?" Lu Xiao asked.
Zhang Shang shook his head after hearing this. He didn't know how things were at home either.
"If you want to know, you can write a letter back, right?"
"Let's wait, we've only been here for a little over a month, there's still plenty of time."
“That’s true, let’s talk about it at the end of the year,” Lu Xiao replied.
Du Xiaoxiao returned home, constantly thinking about how to repay that male educated youth. She just couldn't figure out what to do.
When her mother saw her looking like that, she asked her with concern, "Girl, what's making you so worried?" The women's director asked her.
"Mom, I just fell into a pit and was saved by a male educated youth. How should I repay him?"
"Are you alright? Let me see." The women's director looked Du Xiaoxiao over from head to toe.
"I'm fine. How about we bring him some eggs?"
"Okay, you decide. There are ten eggs at home, take them to him."
"Then I'll go now." Du Xiaoxiao excitedly picked up the vegetable basket, put the eggs in it, and headed towards the educated youth settlement.
When she arrived at the educated youth settlement, she tidied her hair and clothes and saw Zhang Tingting sitting in the courtyard.
He asked, "Zhang, could you please call out to the male educated youth who went up the mountain to hunt wild rabbits earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tingting got up and went to Lu Xiao's door to call them: "Du Xiaoxiao outside is calling you. She said that the male educated youths are going to the mountain to hunt wild rabbits today."
"Oh, that's for you. You'd better get out of here." Lu Xiao covered his mouth and laughed.
Zhang Shang glanced at him, then went to the courtyard gate without saying a word.
"Comrade, these ten eggs are to thank you for saving me, please accept them," Du Xiaoxiao said, her eyes shining.
“I don’t need it, you can take it back. Besides, it wasn’t me who saved you, it was that stick,” Zhang Shang said expressionlessly.
"This..." Zhang Shang's sudden remark left her speechless.
"No, if you hadn't been holding the stick, I wouldn't have been able to get up here. I still need to thank you properly."
I don't know your name yet. Could you please tell me?
"My surname is Zhang, you can just call me Zhang Zhiqing. Take the eggs back, I don't need them. I'm busy now, you can go."
After saying that, Zhang Shang returned to his room.
Du Xiaoxiao was furious at Zhang Shang's stubbornness. She had never met such a cold-hearted person before. She turned around and left haughtily.
