"Fortunately, I didn't break any bones." Aunt Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, and the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Xia Yao heard her whisper and was stunned for a while. When she looked up again, she found that several aunts, headed by Aunt Ping, were looking at her worriedly.
"I'm fine." Xia Yao waved his hands quickly, "Even if I fell, it just rained yesterday, the ground was slippery, and the mountains were full of mud. I couldn't fall anywhere."
"That's good! That's good!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Xia Yao felt even more strange.
Why did she feel that after going to the mountains and coming back, she became the favorite in the eyes of her aunts?
Before Xia Yao could recover, he heard Aunt Guihua's voice getting closer and closer.
"You are finally back!"
As Aunt Guihua spoke, she lifted the backpack in Xia Yao's hand and said, "Let's go to the brigade office. We have to settle accounts today!"
"Everyone, go wherever you are free! If not, it's the same as going to the brigade to collect the money tomorrow!"
Upon hearing Aunt Guihua's words, the crowd burst into cheers of joy.
"Money has been distributed! Money has been distributed!"
“I didn’t expect that we could be like the Yang team and still get paid in the middle of the year!”
Auntie Guihua said something, and everyone followed her.
Xia Yao and Lu Jing were surrounded by the crowd, wearing muddy clothes.
She looked at the smiles on these people's faces, and a bright smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
so good!
Money was distributed!
"Thanks to Xia Zhiqing!"
"Xia Zhiqing is really amazing!"
Everyone became happy and praised Xia Yao a lot. Even a person as thick-skinned as Xia Yao couldn't help but blush at this moment.
She quickly waved her hand: "Aunt Guihua and Aunt Zhou are very good at raising chickens. The chickens in our team are a full kilogram fatter than the usual chickens!"
"If it weren't for Xia Zhiqing, our skills would be useless!" Aunt Guihua laughed, "Xia Zhiqing, you can afford these words!"
Xia Yao's heart warmed when she heard Aunt Guihua's words. She was about to say something when she saw two women and a man arguing among educated youths from the corner of her eye.
Xia Yao saw it, and everyone didn't miss it either.
The originally lively atmosphere suddenly calmed down strangely, but soon everyone seemed to have not seen them and surrounded Xia Yao and Lu Jing as they walked towards the brigade office.
They have already seen this drama played by educated youth.
There was a commotion at the Educated Youth Spot early this morning.
There is no other cause but the unchanging Xu Zhiqing.
"Xu Zhiqing just has some money. I really don't know what they see in him."
There was a very obvious murmur, and the young daughter-in-law who spoke realized that she had said what was in her heart and quickly covered her mouth.
But soon, everyone started talking.
"Xu Zhiqing is not an ordinary rich person! Do you know the quota for workers, peasants and soldiers college students? They all say Xu Zhiqing can get it!"
"Even if you can get it, it won't be cheaper for them, so why bother?"
"No matter how nice Xu Zhiqing's family is, it has nothing to do with them. Maybe he will have to serve his parents-in-law after marriage!"
Xia Yao listened to the whispers around him and thought deeply.
Apart from having a little money in his family, Xu Chenghai really didn't have any advantages. In terms of appearance... he was not one-tenth as good as Lu Jing.
Thinking of this, Xia Yao glanced at Lu Jing unconsciously. Sure enough, even if he was covered in mud, Lu Jing was still handsome and noble.
Xia Yao murmured in his heart, thinking that Lu Jing couldn't see him, but he didn't realize that Lu Jing's ears were red.
At the educated youth spot, Xia Qingqing's eyes were red.
Yang Xuan's hand holding Xu Chenghai deeply hurt her heart. She squeezed her hands tightly, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.
When did it start to become like this?
Xia Qingqing was puzzled. She and Xu Chenghai were obviously in love with each other. Even if Xia Yao was causing trouble, their relationship was still strong.
But when she came today, she saw Yang Xuan sitting intimately with Xu Chenghai. The two were reading the same book, but that intimate gesture made her unbearable.
She knew that she should be gentle and petty, and she also knew that she should be patient.
But after seeing Yang Xuan's provocative eyes, all her rationality disappeared.
How could the man she had worked so hard to get take advantage of Yang Xuan?
So she rushed forward and forcibly separated the two.
But Xu Chenghai did not stand on her side. Xu Chenghai actually protected Yang Xuan. He actually felt that Yang Xuan was the weak one!
Xia Qingqing was furious, and the more she thought about it, the stronger the fire in her heart became.
Her eyes were locked on Yang Xuan, and she was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Chenghai.
Xu Chenghai had a dark face and was a little impatient.
"What are you thinking about? Comrade Yang and I are innocent. We are just discussing literary issues." When Xu Chenghai said this, his tone became more impatient, "Xia Qingqing, you really disappoint me!"
Xia Qingqing felt as if she was struck by lightning. Her body shook violently, and the breath in her heart barely supported her.
From a distance, Xia Yao saw her face turn from green to white, and from ferocious to pitiful.
"Brother Chenghai, I'm just... I'm just scared!" Xia Qingqing suppressed all the anger in her heart. She took a few steps forward. She was no longer as aggressive as before, but became gentle and pitiful.
"I'm afraid you'll leave me." Xia Qingqing lowered her head, feeling extremely pitiful, "You know, I can't live without you, you are more important than my life."
Oops!
The eavesdropping crowd pricked up their ears.
Not far away, Xia Yao opened her eyes even more: As expected of a heroine, she can bear this.
She stopped and poked her head to look at Xia Qingqing.
Of course Xia Qingqing would not miss the look in her eyes while watching the show, but now, the most important thing is Xu Chenghai! So Xia Qingqing pretended that she couldn't see this and looked up at Xu Chenghai.
Xia Yao wanted to continue eating melon, but his sight was blocked by Lu Jing's tall figure.
She raised her head dissatisfied, and Lu Jing felt helpless: "Can they still compare to that batch of cloth?"
"That's true." Xia Yao immediately shook his head, no longer interested in eating melon, she raised her feet and walked forward, "How can she compare to that batch of cloth?"
If that batch of defective cloth was handled properly, it could bring her thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan in income!
Thinking of this, Xia Yao stepped faster.
Everyone in the village was busy eating, but the Tian family still had time to give Xia Yao and Lu Jing extra looks. After all, they had suffered a loss because of these two people not long ago.
"They just came down from the mountain today, and they don't know what they are doing on the mountain." Mrs. Tian muttered, "Why do I think what they are doing on the mountain..."
"Mom, please stop looking!" Cheng Dahua was excited to see two women fighting for one man. As soon as she heard what Mrs. Tian said, she waved her hands angrily, "Those two are very cunning, how can we catch them?" Their handle?”
"Are we just going to watch their lives get better?" Mrs. Tian was furious after hearing this, "Don't forget that our two families have old grudges!"
When Cheng Dahua heard this, he laughed: "Mom, don't be ridiculous! What old grudges did our family have with them at that time? Isn't it because you were jealous of the Lu family's wealth?"
"Go or not!" Mrs. Tian's eyes widened and she raised her palms high. As long as Cheng Dahua refused, her slap would fall on Cheng Dahua's face.
Cheng Dahua rolled his eyes, but still patted the dirt on his body: "Go, go, go! But they won't go up the mountain today!"
Before Cheng Dahua finished speaking, Mrs. Tian glared at her coldly.
There were two tails following behind, and Xia Yao had already noticed them, not to mention Lu Jing, who had an extraordinary ear.
"It's so annoying." Xia Yao snorted, "Always staring at us."
Lu Jing didn't say anything, but suddenly grabbed Xia Yao's wrist.
Xia Yao was stunned for a moment, then Lu Jing walked forward quickly, and she immediately followed.
The thorns on both sides of the path were pushed aside by Lu Jing. Xia Yao held his wrist and followed him step by step. The thorns on both sides did not touch the hem of Xia Yao's clothes at all.
Xia Yao looked at his tall back, and his heart suddenly jumped.
"They are still following." Seeing that he was about to arrive at the brigade office, Xia Yao suppressed the strangeness in his heart and muttered.
Lu Jing didn't look back or speak.
Suddenly, he grabbed Xia Yao's waist and jumped forward.
Before Xia Yao could react, his feet had already landed.
Just now, Lu Jing led Xia Yao and walked very fast. The Tian family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law followed behind and couldn't keep up despite gasping for breath. After finally seeing their backs, they quickly quickened their pace.
Who would have thought that after walking through this thorn forest, the two of them would lose their feet and fall into the ditch.
This trench is near the brigade office. It was left over from the war, but a bridge has been built on the other side long ago. No one usually passes this path.
Just now, Tian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw that the two of them were going smoothly and didn't even think about this incident.
Now that they had fallen into the ditch, the two of them reacted.
"The Lu family's little brat!"
Mrs. Tian stared at her legs and sat on the ground crying.
Cheng Dahua looked at the trench that was as tall as a person, and the corners of his mouth were twisted with anger.
And the initiator of all this, Lu Jing, let go of his hand, as if nothing had happened.
Xia Yao and Lu Jing's eyes drifted, but they didn't dare to look at each other.
Fortunately, it was Aunt Guihua who broke the strange atmosphere between the two: "You are finally here! Come on, come on! We will be here in a while!"
"I'm coming right now!" Xia Yao's ears were a little red and his steps were fast.
When Lu Jing saw her almost running away, the coldness in his eyes quickly dissipated, replaced by a dotted smile.
The brigade office was almost full of people.
As soon as they saw Xia Yao, everyone turned around and stared at Xia Yao with bright eyes.
"Xia Zhiqing! You're here!"
"Xia Zhiqing, sit down quickly!"
"Why don't you give up your position to Xia Zhiqing!"
Everyone's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high at this moment. They all knew that Xia Yao's arrival meant that they would have to share the money.
That’s money!
Which team can't be issued until the end of the year?
