Chapter 035 Wild Boar Love Incident
On her second day at work, Jiang Nan wore a mournful expression as she went to pay her respects. This expression, after practicing in front of the mirror for half an hour, fine-tuning numerous subtle facial expressions, she arrived at the perfect one.
It's no wonder she's nervous. Ever since she came into this world, she's been able to see through almost everyone's thoughts. It's no exaggeration to say that anyone in her presence is invisible, like a drizzle of water.
But now, bang, here comes a 1.0 male host. Not only does she not know what this person is thinking, but he can see through her. Isn't that terrifying? In Jiang Nan's opinion, this is the most terrifying thing since her rebirth.
It was even more terrifying than her discovering she was reborn and bound to the system.
Jiang Nan, brimming with resentment, rode her bike behind the two supervisors, alongside He Lin, the office worker. He Lin was the younger He who had taken her to collect her labor protection supplies on her first day. Her primary job was to lead the police station's labor union, and she also served as Director Shen's secretary, primarily handling the staff's daily needs.
Along the way, He Lin kept asking about Mrs. Cao's situation. This was also part of her job. Jiang Nan told her everything he knew, and the two directors in front also listened attentively.
The East and West Riverbank Battalions were adjacent to each other, and it took about two hours to get there by bicycle from the oil fields. The four of us set out at 8:00 a.m., and by the time we arrived, the funeral had already begun. Because he was a martyr, all funeral expenses were covered by the army, and the two men that night were responsible for that.
Inside the mourning hall, filial sons and grandsons, dressed in plain clothes, bowed to every mourner. While extravagant celebrations are frowned upon these days, for the martyrs, this was essentially a memorial service, and no one could say anything. Almost every villager was present, white flowers pinned to their clothes, their faces solemn.
From a distance, Jiang Nan spotted several high school classmates, and even some educated youth from the village. There were also Grandma Liu and Cheng Gaigai, the grandparents and grandchildren from her building, Grandma Fang, Sun Qiaolian, Fang Nansheng, and Fang Nanhai, as well as Wu Dachui and Grandma Qiu.
Neighbors were close at the time, and since Mrs. Cao was the building manager and Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Yuanfeng were martyrs, everyone's offer to help with the funeral was more than just a formality. Yesterday, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Fang, and Mrs. Qiu went door to door collecting gifts, and today they were delivering gifts on everyone's behalf.
It wasn't that they were forcing anyone to give gifts, but rather that many families were working and didn't have time to come, so they entrusted these three aunties to help with the gifts. Jiang Mancheng's family even contributed fifty cents. Although Jiang Nan was also there today, she was there on behalf of the police station, not the Jiang family. There was still a difference.
Cheng Gaigai and Sun Qiaolian each had their own agenda. Zhou Zhixing had gone to clean up the mourning hall after arriving, disappearing from Courtyard No. 1 for the entire day. They couldn't find him no matter what they wanted to do. Coming to pay their respects now was different; Zhou Zhixing must be feeling the most difficult right now. All they had to do was be gentle and kind, and no matter how aloof he was, he would fall at their feet.
The two people have different thoughts, but they have the same goal. They are both thinking about how to hook up with Zhou Zhixing. However, the protagonist Zhou Zhixing knows nothing about it. He is kneeling in front of the mourning hall, paying homage to the original body's parents.
When Director Shen and his group appeared in front of the mourning hall, Zhou Zhixing stood up to greet them and reached out to shake Director Shen's hand. Zhou Zhixing's eyes were red. He didn't want to cry, but the original owner's emotions were too strong, and he was also affected.
Director Shen spoke first. He said, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, I'm here to offer my condolences on behalf of the police station. Please don't be too sad. Your parents in heaven also hope that you can get over it as soon as possible and continue to contribute to the country."
Zhou Zhixing nodded, glanced at Jiang Nan behind him, paused, and then, as if nothing had happened, took a few people to the mourning hall to pay their respects.
Jiang Nan's face was a little stiff when Zhou Zhixing looked at her, but she quickly adjusted herself. When she passed by a female educated youth, her steps paused noticeably.
[Host, she's being bullied by the captain's nephew. She's planning to gather him in the woods to die together. If you can save this young woman, you'll receive a reward of 1,000 melon coins.]
Jiang Nan noticed Zhou Zhixing's back tense for a moment, then quickly walked forward. She scanned the villagers and said to the system, "Is she carrying a knife? She's so skinny, she can't beat the captain's nephew, right?"
She planned to strike when no one was prepared, and she didn't want to live.
"Did you double the reward? You said last time that the reward would be doubled."
[It has been doubled, host. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly.]
"I need to think carefully about how to stay. I guess the director and the others will have to leave after the condolences are over." Jiang Nan was anxious. This kind of thing must be intervened. She couldn't bear to see an innocent girl being bullied in the village and eventually killed. But what excuse could she use to stay?
Jiang Nan bowed behind the two directors, his face heavy with worry. Even as he was about to step out of the mourning hall, he still hadn't found a reason.
Unexpectedly, Old Lady Cao, with bloodshot eyes, stood up from her seat in a flash, walked out of the mourning hall in three or two steps, and pushed an old lady who was even older than her with all her might, with a look of disgust on her face: "You are so shameless! You still have the nerve to come here! You were such a scoundrel when Yuanfeng was alive, and now that my grandson is here, you are using the same old tricks again. You are such a shameless and wicked thing! Get out of here!"
The old lady called Wang Meifeng had a mean face, with triangular eyes, drooping eyebrows, a bulbous nose and a sausage-shaped mouth. She looked ugly no matter how you looked at her. After hearing what Old Lady Cao said, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "How can I be ashamed? I came here to see my nephew off! I'm telling you, Cao Chuncao, don't be shameless. I am your sister-in-law after all. Why, just because your son became a leader, you don't recognize me as your aunt?! Everyone, please judge for yourself. Comrades and leaders of the army, come and see, this martyr's mother is unreasonable."
"Shut up right there." Old Mrs. Cao was so angry that her eyes were blazing. She put her hands on her hips and pointed at Wang Meifeng's nose and cursed, "You old whore! Don't treat people like fools. The leaders of the army don't care about you! Tell your niece's granddaughter from your mother's family to get out of here, or I'll beat her up every time I see her. What a piece of shit, you dare to get in front of my Xiaoxing, and don't even take a piss to see if you are worthy! You still dare to act like a demon at this time, aren't you afraid that my Yuanfeng will show up and tear you apart! Shameless little whore!"
"Grandma Cao, how can you say that? You're promoting feudal superstition, which is wrong." In the crowd opposite, a young girl in a blue cloth shirt looked at Zhou Zhixing eagerly with tears in her eyes. "Brother Zhou, I...I didn't mean to do anything wrong. I just wanted to comfort you."
Jiang Nan was so disgusted by the look that she trembled uncontrollably, but she was still enjoying it so much that she completely forgot that she still had to think of an excuse to stay.
As for Shen Mingguang and Lan Qingshan, men love gossip, too. Furthermore, they felt they had a heavy responsibility; they couldn't allow a fight to break out in the martyrs' hall. It was no easy task.
Zhou Zhixing suppressed his nausea and nodded at the girl, his face expressionless and lips tightly pursed. However, this was met with disapproval from the other girl in green. This girl was not an outsider either, but the niece of the deceased martyr Zhou Yuanfeng's aunt. The two sisters-in-law had the same idea: both wanted their niece to marry Zhou Zhixing to reap the benefits.
Although the two girls appeared weak in front of Zhou Zhixing, they had been fighting behind his back. Just after a few words, they started fighting. The young people were hot-tempered, pulling hair and scratching faces, without mercy.
The men from both families were also holding their breath. Tell me, if the leader of this unit comes, you have to fawn over him and flatter him. Maybe he'll take a fancy to your boy and bring him to the army. That would be a real change of fortune!
It was with these thoughts in mind that Zhou Zhixing and his group returned to the brigade yesterday, where the atmosphere was even more lively than during Chinese New Year. The uncles and younger brothers were incredibly welcoming, and even villagers they barely knew came to help.
How could Zhou Zhixing, who had been involved in a big family, not know what these people were thinking? Judging from the limited memories of these people that the original owner had, these uncles and younger brothers were not good people.
Zhou Zhixing curled his lips and said to one of his 'cousins', "Second brother, go and break it up! The leader saw you disregarding the danger to break up the fight. You're quite skilled, and I'm sure he'll have a better impression of you."
His voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the three cousins around him to hear. The young man had not seen much of the world, and he thought his cousin's words made sense. If he wanted to join the army, he had to show his ability.
The four young men jumped out and looked at each other, seeing the hostility in the eyes of others.
Yes, even if the leader brings people with him, he can’t bring so many people, as these people are all competitors.
The four men snorted and hurried towards the two girls. Perhaps because they were walking too fast, two of the young men fell to the ground after only a few steps. Rural roads are now dirt roads. The two young men ate a mouthful of dirt, spitted twice, and then got up and rushed towards the young men who had taken the opportunity to walk ahead.
"Let you trip me, you bastard!"
"Little man, was it you who kicked my butt and knocked me down?"
A fight between two young men is a very fierce one. Everyone in front of the mourning hall gave up their seats, but they were reluctant to leave, so they gathered in a circle to watch the excitement. Jiang Nan watched with great interest. If it weren't for the system's reminder, she would have forgotten her business.
[Host, that female educated youth has gone to the grove.]
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reflected on his behavior of watching the fun instead of doing his job, and quietly left the crowd.
Zhou Zhixing's mouth curled up slightly, then quickly suppressed it. He followed Jiang Nan from a distance and glanced back calmly. Very good, the two women who wanted to get close to him caught up.
In the grove, the captain's nephew Guo Tai was lying on top of the woman, panting and cursing her dirty words: "Little bitch, you used to pretend to be a chaste and heroic woman, but this woman is just a bitch! Tell me, are you a bitch?!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pinch the woman's neck, and kept moving.
The educated youth, Zheng Huiwen, suppressed her nausea and agreed, quietly pulling out a fruit knife from her back. She had bought it at the commune yesterday, and she pinched the man fiercely and stabbed him.
At the critical moment, Jiang Nan threw a stone with force, knocking the knife out of Zheng Huiwen's hand steadily. At the same time, he quickly threw another one. Before Guo Tai could react, he fainted.
Jiang Nan rushed forward and kicked the bastard away, causing him to spin around on the ground. Zheng Huiwen, her murderous intent gone, was completely stunned.
Jiang Nan took two or three steps forward, helped her put her clothes in order, and said seriously: "Comrade, listen carefully. If you want to go back to the city, keep your underwear and clothes for today. Kill this man who bullied you. If he doesn't help you go back to the city, go to the police station and report him for being a hooligan. Let him be shot. Do you understand? Don't care about your face at this time. As long as you can go back to the city, no one there will know why you went back. Even if they know, you've already gone back. They can't do anything to you, do you understand?"
Zheng Huiwen suddenly realized something and looked at Jiang Nan with red eyes. Her eyes were as if a zombie had suddenly come to life, shining like stars. She frantically wiped away her tears and nodded her head.
Jiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief and warned again, "You must hold on to your guns. No matter who persuades or threatens you, don't give in. Got it? If you're not afraid of death, why would you be afraid of what others say? You can't save face at this time. You must be ruthless and lose face."
"I know."
Zheng Huiwen's voice was firm. On the other side, Zhou Zhixing dragged two women over and said jokingly, "Let me share some of the firepower with you."
Jiang Nan gestured to Zheng Huiwen to go first. Zheng Huiwen got up with difficulty and limped away.
Seeing the person leave, Zhou Zhixing greeted him naturally: "Hello, Protector~"
Jiang Nan: ""
He really knows everything, this villain!
Jiang Nan tried to remain calm. She asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Let's get these three together." Zhou Zhixing had enough of teasing and shrugged. "They want to climb up the social ladder. The captain's nephew is a good candidate. Let them fight for it. We'll go out later and reveal a little bit so that everyone can come and catch them..."
"No." Jiang Nan refused. "Even though they're pestering you, they want to live a good life, which is not a big deal. This will make it impossible for two girls to live like human beings. It's not good."
Jiang Nan did have some integrity. She wasn't a white lotus, she just didn't want to teach a woman a lesson by destroying her innocence. There were thousands of ways to teach someone a lesson, but she wouldn't choose the most despicable one.
Zhou Zhixing was stunned. He wanted to say that the two women had been trying to get into bed last night. If he hadn't been alert when sleeping, he might have fallen into their trap. How could he have asked for sympathy? But seeing Jiang Nan's determined eyes, he helplessly threw up his hands: "What should I do? Just leave it like this?"
"Well, leave them there. Stay away from that stinky man. Letting them lie in the woods for half a day will serve as a lesson."
Before the two of them could move, Zhou Zhixing noticed the movement, hushed them, and whispered, "Someone's there."
Guo Tai and the educated youth had a secret affair, so they naturally chose a deeper forest where there were fewer people. Unaware of the presence of others, they tiptoed forward and saw a man lying on the ground, grunting as he pulled a wild boar from a pit.
[He is the village's hunter.] The system said.
It turned out that today was a funeral, and most of the villagers had gone. After the hunter Gu paid his respects, he saw everyone still talking, so he decided to go to the woods alone to see how his traps were doing. In the past, if he caught a big game, he could sell it for money. Now, that's not possible; everything has to be turned in to the team, and then everyone splits it. Hunter Gu refused to accept this. Hunting was his family's ancestral craft, so he couldn't let anyone else take advantage of it.
The hunter secretly dug several traps deep in the woods and would go hunting when no one was looking. He would secretly sell any large game he found, and secretly eat smaller ones like rabbits and pheasants in the mountains. He lived a pretty good life.
I was lucky today, there was a wild boar in the trap, it looked like it weighed at least 300 kilograms. If I took a big guy like that to the black market, I would definitely make a fortune!
The hunter immediately jumped out of the trap, pulled the wild boar out of the bamboo thorns, tied the rope tightly, then jumped out and lay on the ground, grunting and pulling it up. This is not a wild boar, it is money!
He was also very strong and actually pulled it up. Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhixing were stunned. It was Jiang Nan's first time seeing a wild boar and she didn't expect it to be so ugly. She turned her eyes and saw a group of people walking towards them.
These people were none other than Cheng Gaigai, Old Lady Liu and a group of people who came to pay their respects.
Cheng Gaigai had been thinking about dating Zhou Zhixing. After the memorial service, she had been looking for an opportunity. She accidentally saw him walking towards the grove. She was so happy, thinking that Zhou Zhixing understood her feelings and wanted to lead her to the grove to confess his love. Otherwise, why would he look back at her?
Cheng Gaigai got excited and followed. Although Old Lady Liu favored boys over girls, she loved her granddaughter and would never let her go out alone, so she followed.
Sun Qiaolian was also keeping an eye on Zhou Zhixing, so she followed him.
Following behind them, Sun Qiaolian's family, Wu Dachui, Old Lady Qiu and others were like candied haws.
At the front, Cheng Gaigai was unfamiliar with the forest and tripped over a branch, losing track. Therefore, she didn't see the scene between Guo Tai and Zheng Huiwen, but she smelled the blood in the distance and arrived late.
"Meat!" Old Lady Liu said excitedly, her voice as high as ever. "Great! You're secretly hunting here, undermining socialism! If you...if you'd known better, share the wild boar with everyone else, I wouldn't report you to the Revolutionary Committee. Otherwise, you'll be put under house arrest!"
Granny Fang swallowed hard. This much meat would surely last her for a long time. She cleared her throat and said softly, "Comrade, what you're doing is wrong. The game on this mountain belongs to the collective, and you can't hide it secretly. This is wrong, and you will be punished."
Of course, there is no need to punish them if we share it with them, hehe.
Hunter Gu didn't expect that he wasn't spotted by the villagers, but was spotted by a few strangers who came to pay their respects. He was a brave man, and of course he wasn't afraid of these old women, but... he looked at Wu Dachui in the crowd. He was a big, strong man, and he was not easy to deal with.
Wu Dachui had just given his job to his son and was waiting for another job. He had nothing to do at home, so he came with everyone to pay his respects, and he didn't expect to encounter such a good thing.
It's foolish not to take advantage of an opportunity. Wu Dachui snorted heavily and said loudly, "You're not doing the right thing. Aunt Liu is right. As long as you are willing to share the meat equally with everyone, we will spare you today."
As he spoke, he raised his arms to show off his muscles.
The hunter knew he was going to have a tough day. He stood up in front of the wild boar and argued, "I'm unlucky today, but I hunted this wild boar. I can't split it equally. At most, I'll give you a pig's head. Divide it among yourselves. Don't even think about the rest."
"That's impossible." Old Lady Liu, like a victorious rooster, held her waist in a haughty manner. "Such a big wild boar, you still want to keep it all to yourself? If we say we should split it equally, we have to split it equally. Don't try to cheat."
Gu Hunter was not willing to give in. The two sides argued back and forth in an extremely fierce manner, and it seemed like a fight would break out at any moment.
Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhixing hid behind a large tree, not daring to show their heads, but they listened with rapt interest. They had never expected, truly hadn't expected, to see such a lively scene while out for the funeral.
The two men didn't notice that the two girls lying behind them had their eyelids trembling slightly, as if they were about to wake up. It wasn't Zhou Zhixing's fault; he hadn't intended to keep them unconscious for too long, otherwise how could they cause a scene after catching them in adultery? Unfortunately, the two men were so caught up in the excitement that they forgot about the "time bomb" behind them.
Even the system was so absorbed in watching the fun that it forgot to monitor the girl's brain waves.
As the two were absorbed in watching the excitement, Zhou Zhixing suddenly felt someone lunge at him from behind and dodged to the side. He'd forgotten that Jiang Nan, perched nearby, was watching the spectacle and, bewildered, was tackled by Zhou Zhixing. As luck would have it, the tree they were hiding under was on a small slope. Because it happened so suddenly, Jiang Nan instinctively clung to Zhou Zhixing as they tumbled down the slope.
Below were Cheng Gaigai, Old Lady Liu and the others who lived in the tube-shaped building, as well as Zhou's uncle and his family who wanted to catch the adulterer and force a marriage, and a large group of villagers who came to watch the fun.
Yes, if so many people hadn't suddenly come, Jiang Nan wouldn't have lost her focus for a moment and been pounced on by that stinky man Zhou Zhixing!
The Zhou family's eldest aunt and younger uncle weren't going to give up so easily. Zhou Zhixing not only had a job, but he must have his demobilization pay and money from Zhou Yuanfeng and his wife. The couple had served in the military for over a decade, so they probably had at least a thousand yuan. When their niece's granddaughter married, her parents had promised to give them half. That was five hundred yuan! Five hundred yuan could buy a job these days. Who wouldn't be jealous?
Seeing their niece and granddaughter leave, the two of them kindly waited for a while, thinking that they would definitely get one of them. No matter who it was, as long as the second son's family was not good, they would be happy. So, they stopped fighting and immediately led a group of people to catch the adulterer!
“Ahhh.”
Cheng Gaigai screamed. She had never imagined that Zhou Zhixing and Jiang Nan would hook up after just a few days. They were still hugging each other like this. She, she just wanted to get married and not move to the countryside, so why was it so difficult? Thinking of the last time she was taken advantage of by that old pervert, Old Wu, her heart suddenly turned into a ball, colder than an icicle in the coldest days of winter.
Jiang Nan hurriedly pushed Zhou Zhixing down. She shook the dirt and fallen leaves off her hair, coughed lightly, and explained, "Well, Director Shen, Deputy Director Lan, I accidentally rolled down from up there. It was Comrade Zhou's bravery that saved me from getting hurt..."
That's right, Director Shen, Lan Qingshan, and He Lin were here too. This new colleague's personal issues needed careful attention; they weren't just here to watch the fun.
"What are you two doing hiding behind the tree? A man and a woman alone, hugging each other and rolling down, tsk tsk." A villager in the crowd spoke softly.
"That's right, a man and a woman hiding behind a tree alone, what good can they do?"
"This Zhou family kid is quite capable. He hooked up with the young policeman right after returning..."
Jiang Nan stared at Zhou Zhixing angrily.
Zhou Zhixing, Zhou Zhixing was also embarrassed. Although he didn't mind being a gigolo, after all, Jiang Nan was his protector. How could a protector protect someone if they weren't always together? He'd been bound before, so he knew the power of the system. Someone who'd cheated before didn't want to strive anymore. He wasn't lazy, he just wanted to live a good life, nothing wrong with that.
Well, learn and apply at the same time, that’s what Jiang Nan said.
"What do you mean by 'lonely man and single woman'? Where else..." Jiang Nan turned around, only to find nothing behind the tree. The two girls, realizing their plan had failed, had already hidden themselves, so there was no way they would show up. Jiang Nan shut up in frustration and glared at Zhou Zhixing again.
Zhou Zhixing coughed lightly, then decided to follow his heart. He said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. Please don't misunderstand Comrade Jiang Nan. I'm a veteran, and it's my duty to stand up for what is right. I know what I did today was inappropriate, but I will take responsibility. I declare that as long as Comrade Jiang Nan doesn't get married, I will always be there for her."
He looked at Jiang Nan with a tearful look in his eyes, as if he was crazy about her, mad about her, and willing to bang his head against the wall for her.
"You..." Jiang Nan's eyes widened as she stared at Zhou Zhixing in disbelief. How could this bastard be even more shameless than her father's?
Some people in the crowd cheered.
"The Zhou family kid is great, he's a real man."
"Well done, a real man should be responsible for what he does."
......
When Jiang Nan and Zhou Zhixing walked out of the woods in a daze, she had become what others called "Zhixing's family." She was speechless! She hadn't agreed.
But no one paid any attention. These days, no one in the countryside cares about what women say, even if you're a police officer.
The wild boar returned to the team. Although the people in the tube building discovered it first, they also knew that in someone else's village, it was okay to secretly divide the meat, but it was impossible to take advantage of it openly.
Old Lady Liu glared at Jiang Nan fiercely. If it weren't for that dead girl, her granddaughter might have married the boy from the Zhou family, and she could have gotten a pound or two of meat.
Old Mrs. Liu pulled Cheng Gaigai and walked back angrily.
Granny Fang's eyes rolled, and she turned and walked forward. In front of Zhou Zhixing, she showed a look of disappointment and regret to Jiang Nan. She said, "Xiao Nan, Granny really likes you. I wanted you to be my daughter-in-law, Nanshan. Alas, who knew that the boy from the Zhou family would get there first? I won't say anymore. Granny is leaving now."
She sighed, wanting to say something but stopping herself, looking unwilling to say more. She pulled her daughter-in-law and two grandsons, turned around and walked away, her back revealing a sense of desolation. "Hmph, I let you hook up with Zhou Zhixing. My daughter-in-law's blood bag is one less. Her family can't get it, but they'll be disgusted!"
Jiang Nan was speechless. At this time, they were still adding drama to themselves. The Fang family was really something.
Zhou Zhixing chuckled and whispered, "There are quite a few evil spirits in this building."
"Please keep your voice down." Jiang Nan looked around hurriedly.
Everyone seemed to be making room for the newly-married young couple, and there was a circle of space around them. However, there were quite a few people, young and old, peeking in from a distance, their eyes as wide as copper bells, as if they thought she was blind.
Jiang Nan glared at the person who was talking nonsense. This little nobleman from ancient times really dared to say anything.
Zhou Zhixing shrugged and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be nervous. Think about it carefully. I can accept us pretending to be a couple, or even getting married and becoming a live-in son-in-law. But I'm afraid one of the children must have my surname, otherwise my grandma will kill me. I don't mind..."
"Wait a minute." Jiang Nan rolled his eyes and interrupted, "When did I ever say anything about having a baby? I haven't even agreed to a fake marriage with you yet, you're really thinking too far ahead."
Zhou Zhixing looked completely indifferent. He waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay to think about it, right? Besides, I'm just trying to persuade my grandma. It's up to you to decide what the future holds. Don't worry, after this fake marriage, I'll listen to you about all the family matters. I won't make any decisions on my own, okay?"
He winked at Jiang Nan and continued, "And I don't mind people saying I'm a gigolo. So what? As long as I have enough to eat and wear, I'm fine. You know, I was linked to the system before, and my life was so easy. I never had to worry about food and drink. Now I suddenly come here, and there's no one to talk to. I'm only familiar with you, and we can be considered destined to each other. Please consider it."
[Host, he has a point. If you fake a marriage and stay together all the time, won't that guarantee his safety? And if he doesn't marry you, he'll have to move out. He can't live with Old Lady Cao forever...]
"Shut up." Jiang Nan was tired. She suspected that her little Tong, who was a girl, was also in love. Otherwise, why would her mind go blank when she encountered Zhou Zhixing's affairs?
"I'll think about it. Don't act rashly until I've thought it through." Jiang Nan was wary, yet shamefully moved. In her previous life, she hadn't married until her thirties because the circumstances allowed it, and because she was alone in Shanghai, where no one would gossip about her. But in this day and age, if she wanted a peaceful life, she'd better get married.
The original owner Zhou Zhixing had good personal conditions, and the 1.0 who came now was familiar to each other. After all, the system had roughly told Jiang Nan about his previous life, so there was nothing to be afraid of Jiang Nan.
Besides, she was still very attracted to the original owner Zhou Zhixing's looks.
Well, I’m just such a face lover.
Seeing Jiang Nan relent, Zhou Zhixing immediately assured him, "Of course, I'll do as you say."
Director Shen, Lan Qingshan, and He Lin watched the interaction between the two silently from a distance.
"Qingshan, Xiao Zhou will report next Monday. Is it suitable for him to be in the same group with Xiao Nan?" Director Shen was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Director. Zhou Zhixing is a sharpshooter in the army and the calmest. Furthermore, I think they can work even more closely together and being partners is the most suitable. Otherwise, if they're separated and paired up with other people, and something bad gets out, that would be even more inappropriate."
Lan Qingshan said that many of the police station's field workers were unmarried young men, and Zhou Zhixing might not feel at ease if someone else were to partner with Jiang Nan.
"Then let's watch a part first. If it doesn't work, we can change it."
The four people from the police station hurriedly ate a meal of tofu noodles and rode their bikes back together.
It was already 3:30 in the afternoon when Jiang Nan returned to the police station. After thinking for a while, he followed Director Shen into the office and said, "Director, I saw today that the educated youth and villagers in the brigade are clearly divided, and their relationship seems average. I'm worried that there will be a situation where the villagers bully the educated youth, or the educated youth bully the villagers, which is why there is such hatred between the two sides."
She decided to take a more proactive approach, not just for Zheng Huiwen, but also for the many people who were away from home. She said, "I wonder if we could do some legal education for the educated youth and villagers who went to the countryside. This wouldn't just target the villagers and educated youth from the surrounding brigades, but also the children of our oilfield who are about to go to the countryside. As you know, those who go to the countryside are young people, and they tend to act impulsively. Without understanding the law, there's no telling what they might do. By doing more legal education, we're actually protecting them, letting them know what to do if they're bullied in the countryside, and that they shouldn't bully others for no reason."
When Director Shen heard Jiang Nan mention "educated youth's legal education work", his eyes lit up, and then became brighter and brighter like a searchlight.
These days, who doesn't have someone who's been sent to the countryside? Children left alone in the countryside not only have to do heavy farm work, but they might also be bullied by the villagers. How could their families not worry? This legal education not only reassures everyone but also serves as a political achievement for the police station, helping them gain a firm foothold in the oil fields and earn them greater respect.
"Okay, young people always have ideas. Don't worry, I'll go find the oilfield leaders right away. This fall, a new wave of educated youth from our oilfield will be going to the countryside. While they're still here, let's do a good job of popularizing the law so that everyone feels comfortable going to the countryside."
Director Shen patted Jiang Nan's shoulder heavily and said, "Get ready. Since you proposed this job, you should follow along when the presentation is made. Learning more and watching more will be beneficial to your future advancement. Xiaonan, don't worry, as long as you work hard, the leaders will see it."
Jiang Nan gave a slightly shy smile and nodded in agreement. "Well, leaders really do love to talk," he said. Director Shen had been rambling for ten minutes, and if He Lin hadn't come in to report on her work, he probably would have continued.
Jiang Nan left Director Shen's office with a dull head, feeling a little full even though he hadn't had dinner yet.
