After Wang Xue raised this question, the room was quiet for a moment.
Just when she thought the two of them were fast asleep, Yu Xiangqin suddenly turned over, looked at her and asked, "You also feel something is wrong?"
Wang Xue replied vaguely: "I just feel that they are quite strange."
Yu Xiangqin sat up wrapped in quilt, crossed her legs and said, "How is that weird? That's so weird! She said that gay man is her neighbor, right? Who's neighbor can send food and meat at the same time?"
"She has only been here for a few days? Her neighbor has been here three times! My brother doesn't take care of me like this, right... Oh, yes, what do you think he is here for today? Is it for Zhao Zhuangshi's business? Otherwise, Widow Zhao would not be willing to beat her son until her head was kicked by a donkey!"
Yu Xiangqin kept playing. There were no lights in the room, and she couldn't see Wang Xue's uncertain expression.
Miao Yulan, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, opened her mouth, but the habitual silence prevented her from saying anything.
Wang Xue rested on her arm, stared at the dark wall, and said in a very soft voice: "But Lin Nianhe is only seventeen, they shouldn't be in love, right?"
"What's wrong with Seventeen? We can even get engaged in the village." Yu Xiangqin curled her lips and affirmed, "There must be something going on between them!"
Wang Xue didn't want to accept this.
Yu Xiangqin didn't get a response, so she turned around and patted Miao Yulan: "Yulan, what do you think?"
Miao Yulan thought for a while and whispered back: "Lin Zhiqing is good-looking, and they are both from the capital. It's really... normal, right?"
It was as if Yu Xiangqin's throat was being strangled, and there was a "Gah" sound without any further words.
Miao Yulan buried half of her face in the worn quilt and continued: "Don't think too much. If there is anything, how can Lin Zhiqing go to the countryside?"
Miao Yulan's original intention was to explain a few words to Lin Nianhe so that she would not get a bad reputation for her bad style. As a result, her words reminded Wang Xue and made her withered thoughts sprout again.
Yes, if the two of them really have something, wouldn't it be better to get married directly? There is no need to go to the countryside and endure hardships.
Wang Xue's heart finally calmed down after a dull day.
In the night, the corners of her mouth raised.
The sun rises on time day after day, and at half past four, the sound of a fire cooking can be heard in the front yard.
Lin Nianhe turned over and opened his eyes.
The biological clock is really a strange thing. Within a few days of coming here, she adapted to getting up early.
At five o'clock the village woke up. The sounds of pots and bowls clinking together, children crying when being scolded, and dogs barking are intertwined to create a thick atmosphere of fireworks.
Lin Nianhe changed her clothes and opened the window. The cool morning air mixed with dew moisture hit her face.
She didn't know whether it was because she rode too hard yesterday, or she exercised too much last night, or because her body was too fragile. Lin Nianhe felt like a rusty tin man, her muscles stiff and her movements slow.
She was not in a hurry to eat. She stood in front of the door stretching her arms and legs and doing stretching exercises.
After being active for about ten minutes, my body felt slightly warm.
Seeing that it was almost time to start work, Wang Shumei hurried to the backyard.
Lin Nianhe put down his hand and greeted her with a smile: "Have you eaten?"
"Have eaten." Wang Shumei came to her side and asked, "What about you? Do you feel better?"
"Very good." Lin Nianhe smiled, "I'll start work tomorrow."
"Um."
Wang Shumei looked at her, remained silent for a moment and said, "Xiaolan was still worried about your arrival last night. She closed the doors and windows at around seven o'clock. We thought you were uncomfortable."
Lin Nianhe tasted a hint of meaning in these ordinary words.
She smiled softly and replied: "I've been a sleepover since I was a child, and I've been too tired these past few days, so I went to bed earlier."
Seeing her calm face, Wang Shumei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was overthinking.
The last time she came to see Lin Nianhe, she saw her writing and drawing. After Wen Lan mentioned that yesterday, she was afraid that Lin Nianhe was young and ignorant, hiding in the house and secretly reading books that he shouldn't read.
Wang Shumei didn't think any more and patted Lin Nianhe's shoulder: "It's okay. I'm going to work. You can rest at home for a while."
"Okay." Lin Nianhe waved to her, "Be careful when you work."
Wang Shumei said nothing more and turned to leave.
Looking at her back, Lin Nianhe smacked his tongue gently.
It seemed that she had to go up a little later tonight and close the door. It was just a pity for her eyes and she had to endure the dim light of the candlelight.
After the sound of the work gong, the educated youth spot quickly returned to silence.
Lin Nianhe washed the bowl of cherries and ate one first, ignoring his empty stomach.
Yesterday, Wang Xixi's wild cherries were indeed sour, but they also aroused her greed. She dreamed of red cherries last night.
Now the sweet juice spread in her mouth, instantly dispelling the psychological shadow left by the sour cherries on her.
For breakfast, she ate half a cage of crab roe xiaolongbao with a cup of malted milk. This combination that transcended generations was unexpectedly delicious, which made Lin Nianhe extremely satisfied.
In the morning, while there was no one at the educated youth spot, Lin Nianhe sent out a sweeping robot to sweep the floor, while he continued the watering business that was forced to stop yesterday.
After all, she was outside, but she still didn't dare to take out the watering can and watered the ground with the ladle.
It feels good to be lazy for a while, but if someone finds out, you will be sent to the crematorium.
Lin Nianhe's life here is quiet, but it's not so peaceful outside.
Officials from the commune went to Wang Hong's house to learn about the situation. On the way, they also brought news that the entire Zhang family had been arrested——
The whole family was really arrested. Because the adults were not at home, the two children in the second room of the Zhang family were taken to the police station.
Not only the Zhang family, but also the old bachelor who said he wanted to give him a gift of 100 yuan was taken away.
The old bachelor was very aggrieved. He never thought that he would be questioned by the police because he could not marry a wife.
When Lin Nianhe went to change Wang Xixi's dressing in the afternoon, he ran into Uncle Li and a slightly familiar little old man on the road.
Lin Nianhe thought for a moment and then remembered who this person was - the captain of the Jiuli Brigade. On the day she arrived, this person was next to them.
If Li Dahe disliked the educated youth in his heart, then the captain of Jiuli Brigade disliked them both inside and outside.
Lin Nianhe still remembered that when he picked up the educated youths that day, he did not hurt them less. He would not say anything nice when he opened his mouth, and even the narrow-minded ones would become depressed on the spot.
"Uncle Li, you are busy."
Lin Nianhe had a cute smile on his face and greeted Uncle Li casually.
"Yeah." Uncle Li still had the same straightforward character that only worked hard. He nodded to Lin Nianhe and said nothing.
Lin Nianhe didn't feel embarrassed at all, and still smiled: "Then you are busy, I will change Daxi's dressing. Aunt Wang should be anxious because she is late."
As she spoke, she patted her small satchel.
Uncle Li didn't understand why this little brat told him so carefully, and he didn't even ask her what she was going to do!
But the eyes of the little old man next to him lit up, and the way he looked at Lin Nianhe suddenly changed.
"Hey, you are the Xiaolin educated youth who treats Daxi, right? I heard Li Dahe mention you yesterday, so what? I am Daxi's third uncle, and I want to see her too. Come on, girl, let's go together .”
