"Even if I live like this for the rest of my life, I will have no regrets," Gao Xiulan said with a firm expression.
Li Xiyue sighed inwardly, "What a love-struck fool."
To put it nicely, Gao Xiulan is devoted to love; to put it bluntly, she's a complete love-struck fool.
Although Xu Jianmin was tricked, he still gave her up after weighing the pros and cons, making her a laughing stock and truly hurting her.
If it were a normal person, they would probably only resent Xu Jianmin. A more strong-willed person would turn around and marry someone better, and live their own life well.
When Xu Jianmin got into trouble, it was good enough that no one gloated. How could anyone be like her, who disregarded past grievances and moved into his house to take care of him?
However, life is one's own, and Gao Xiulan chose this path. Although Li Xiyue did not approve of it, she respected it.
"Li Zhiqing, do you really not like Xiangyang?" Gao Xiulan asked hesitantly as they arrived at the entrance of the educated youth settlement.
Li Xiyue said, "Comrade Xiangyang and I are just ordinary comrades."
She didn't have a strong liking or dislike for Xu Xiangyang; they were just ordinary friends.
He had helped her before, and she was grateful. If he needed her help in any way, she would help him.
That's all.
Gao Xiulan was slightly disappointed, but still smiled and said, "He's just not lucky."
After the people left, Li Xiyue entered the courtyard and smelled the aroma of food. She went into the kitchen and saw the three of them busy at work.
When they saw her return, they all looked over and smiled.
"Yueyue, you're back. Wash your hands and eat." Huang Xinrui said with a smile as she brought the dishes she had prepared to the table.
Wang Jiaxing was also helping out, saying, "Li Zhiqing, you made braised chicken with potatoes today, it smells so good!"
"Chicken and potatoes?" Li Xiyue walked over and, seeing that it was indeed chicken, asked, "Where did this chicken come from?"
Wang Jiaxing looked at Zhao Guohua, who was quite smug, and said, "It was brought back by Zhao, the educated youth."
Does he still have money to buy chickens?
Li Xiyue couldn't help but take another look at Zhao Guohua. It had been a month, and he was spending money lavishly, yet he still hadn't spent all the money he had.
"Today's meal celebrates two things," Zhao Guohua said, holding up one finger with great joy. "First, it celebrates that I no longer have to carry manure."
Li Xiyue was surprised. He didn't have to carry manure anymore? What had happened while she was away?
Huang Xinrui explained, "Yesterday, a child in the village fell into the river, and he rescued him when he was passing by. The brigade leader then exempted him from the job of carrying manure, and this chicken is a thank-you gift from the child's parents."
Li Xiyue was surprised; this kid had actually done something decent.
“The second thing,” Zhao Guohua held up two fingers and continued, “is to celebrate Yueyue… oh, Comrade Xiyue’s return.”
Li Xiyue remained silent, seeing that the boy had been behaving well lately, and decided not to argue with him.
Zhao Guohua was even happier to see that Li Xiyue hadn't scolded him, so he sat down, picked up a chicken leg and put it in her bowl. "Comrade Xiyue, you've been working hard lately. Here, have a chicken leg."
Looking at the fragrant chicken leg in the bowl, Li Xiyue took a deep breath and said, "No need to fawn over me. If you behave well, there will be a place for you here."
As long as Zhao Guohua behaves himself and doesn't do anything bad, she won't do anything to him, but it's impossible for her to forgive him. At most, they'll just keep to themselves.
"I just want to be good to you, to make it up to you," Zhao Guohua said with deep affection.
Li Xiyue was somewhat disgusted. Erkang waved his hand and said, "It's really unnecessary. I advise you not to waste your energy. If you annoy me, I'll beat you up!"
Zhao Guohua shrank back, thinking to himself, "Do you think I want to be a fool? It's because his father wrote to him that he must reconcile with Li Xiyue, and it would be best if they could get married in the countryside."
If he doesn't do as he's told, his dad won't send him any money and he'll have to live on dirt.
In order to have a better life here, he shamelessly tried to please Li Xiyue, but Li Xiyue didn't appreciate it at all.
If you offer your warm welcome but get a cold shoulder, you might even get beaten up.
The thought of how ruthless she was sent chills down my spine, and I dared not do anything more, so I buried my head in my food.
