Chapter 23
The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (3)
Xu Qing stared at the youth with a burning gaze, lest he shake his head.
Jiang Zhe found it funny and asked her: "Do you know my situation before saying youll be responsible for me." New novel chapters are published on
Xu Qing was stunned.
Jiang Zhe looked at her calmly. "My parents are already dead, and I am here alone, my future unknown. You being with me, are you not afraid that I will drag you down?"
Xu Qing firmly shook her head.
Jiang Zhe really didn't understand. "Friend Xu, other than my face, I have nothing else. What exactly do you like about me?"
Xu Qing froze, her face gradually reddened, "Why must you speak so straightforwardly, making people embarrassed.
Jiang Zhe didnt give her the opportunity to avoid the topic, his hands holding onto her shoulders, their eyes meeting, "Tell me, alright?"
Xu Qing: !!!
Xu Qing looked away: "I just like you, thats it. When I look at you, I feel happy, feel like talking with you, living together with you."
[I just like you, thats it. When I look at you, I feel happy, feel like talking with you, feel like studying with you, going to school and home together with you.]
The past that he previously took for granted, thinking back on it now, it was still vivid in his memory.
Jiang Zhe smiled softly.
He stroked Xu Qings head and said: "I understand. Its late, quickly go back."
Xu Qing stammered: "Then you agreed."
Jiang Zhe nodded.
Xu Qing: "Yaywuwu"
Jiang Zhe covered her mouth, whispering: "Qing Qing, do you want to bring others around?"
The hot air exhaled by the youth hit her ear, causing Xu Qings ears to turn red.
She wanted to nod, signalling that she understood, but the young man had covered her mouth and she couldnt move. In desperation, she didnt know where the impulse came from, but she actually stretched out her tongue to lick the youths palm.
Jiang Zhe fiercely retracted his hand, "You"
Xu Qing: "Im going home, Jiang Zhe see you again."
After that, as she said, she quickly slipped away, disappearing.
Jiang Zhe: "Monkeys dont even run as fast as you."
The youth shook his head and turned back to the house. Under the bright moonlight, the laughter on his lips was exposed.
A good nights sleep.
The autumn harvest was in full swing, the scorching sun was burning, the youths danced with a sickle, sweating buckets.
He had tanned and lost weight, but compared to the entire second production team, he was still the fairest one.
If the people on the team didn't pay attention to him from time to time, they would have thought he had slacked off.
The autumn harvest grew closer to the end. The women on the team no longer went to the field. Due to Jiang Zhes good performance before, he could take a day off after finishing his work today.
A group of ladies rested in the shade while looking at the men working in the fields, gathering together noisily discussing.
"Youth Xiangs stature is really tall and hes handsome, especially when he smiles."
"What's the use of good looks, I think it is better to be like the Lin family's men. They are tall and strong, making work quick and efficient."
But I think the Youth Jiang is also good. Not only does he looks good, he is also polite, unhurried, and how should I say it, gives a special feeling."
You have feelings for Youth Jiang, dont you?"
Dont speak nonsense, what if people heard and misunderstood?"
"They wont. The whole team is pairing Youth Jiang and Youth Yao."
Xu Qing at the side: Angry like a pufferfish.
This Jiang Zhe sure is good. He was still so intimate with me last night, saying that I was his lifes partner. But actually he long had another partner privately.
Xu Qing angrily pulled the grass at her feet, looking like she couldnt wait to bite him.
Expectedly, during the lunch break at noon, Xu Qing snuck away again.
The familiar cuckoo sounds.
Jiang Zhe:
He got up and went out.
Xu Qing hid behind a big tree, her eyes red like a rabbit.
Jiang Zhe: "You cried?"
Xu Qing: "No."
Jiang Zhe: "Oh."
Xu Qing was anxious, stamping her feet whispering: "Jiang Zhe!!!"
Jiang Zhe reached out and gently tapped her forehead, warmly comforting her: "What's wrong? Who wronged you?"
Xu Qing glared at him, "You."
Jiang Zhe was baffled: "What did I do?"
Xu Qings tears flowed out of anger, crying: "You are already a couple with Youth Yao, how can you still be so ambiguous with me."
Jiang Zhes face darkened. Who was with who?
Jiang Zhe: "Im not."
Xu Qing was dubious: "Really?"
Jiang Zhe: "Really, more true than gold."
Grandmother Lings smiled, not answering but asking instead: "Who told you this?"
Xu Qing twisted her fingers, stuttering: "Only an ordinary friend."
Grandmother Ling: "It's a male friend, right?"
Xu Qing mouth stretched into an O shape, seemingly saying "How do you know."
A smile surfaced in Grandmother Ling's eyes as she gently asked: "Do you like that male friend?"
Xu Qing blushed red, shyly whispering: "Li, like."
Grandmother Ling looked at her warmly with tender affection from an elder to the younger generation: "Congratulations, Qing Qing. That male friend also likes you."
Xu Qing: "Ah?"
Grandmother Ling: "In the three thousand miles of the Ruoshui river, I will only take a sip. The meaning is that people may encounter many beautiful things in their lifetime, but it will be sufficient if they carefully treasure only one of them."
Xu Qing twisted her brow, still not too clear.
Grandmother Ling: "Simply put, there are many excellent people but I only like you."
Xu Qing finally understood.
She bit the corner of her lips, unable to stop the smile on her face: "Really? Does he really mean this?"
Grandmother Ling nodded with a good temper.
Not to mention how happy Xu Qing was, she couldnt even sit still, standing up to walk away. Just as she lifted her feet, she retracted it, embarrassed.
Grandmother Ling: "Go, you young people have something to talk about."
Xu Qing: "Grandmother~~"
Grandmother Ling: "Go."
After Xu Qing left, Grandmother Lings loved one walked out of the house, pointing out with meaning: "That Youth Jiang is not bad."
Grandmother Ling smiled and said: "How do you know whether the male friend Qing Qing was talking about is Youth Jiang?"
Xu Qing excitedly rushed to Zhi Qing courtyard, but was told that Youth Jiang had gone out.
Xu Qing returned home despondently. Mother Xu saw her and walked over to pinch and twist her waist, whispering: "You this girl, do you have nothing better to do than to run around outside, isnt it tiring."
Xu Qing grinned and acted spoilt: "Mom raised me well, I am energetic every day, of course Im not tired. Why else would so many people say a child with a mother is a treasure, I love mom the most."
Mother Xu let her hang on her body, poking her forehead, "You, ah. Only your mouth is sweet."
Xu Qing grinned.
Xu Shou Rens wife saw, and secretly pouted.
Go on, laugh. Wait till you marry someone, see if you can still laugh.
Three days passed after her last futile attempt at finding Jiang Zhe. In reality, the two people had been separated for a month.
Before, she didn't understand the meaning of the sentence, and was too embarrassed to find Jiang Zhe. Later, after she understood it with difficulty, Jiang Zhe had gone out.
She just wanted to meet the person she likes and talk, why was it so difficult?
Zhi Qing courtyard.
Jiang Zhe was organising his package, and the system was brokenly nagging in his mind: "You finally know how to make a girl happy, this system had a hand in it."
Jiang Zhe:
He took his package and went out.
The system stomped: "Jiang Zhe, you bastard. When you need me, you push me to the front; when you dont, you abandon me behind. If it wasnt for this system, would you have money to buy things?"
Jiang Zhe stopped: "I need to clarify a little. The watches and gold bars are my items. They are just stored with you.
The system harrumphed: "Dont you need to pay for storage?"
Jiang Zhe: "Thats why I only took one-third."
System:
Jiang Zhe took his package and showed off his presence, entering the Xu family.
Xu Qing: The surprise came too fast, like a tornado.
She stuttered and asked: "Jiang, Jiang Zhe, why have you come?"
Jiang Zhe: "Previously, the team leader returned my innocence, I haven't thanked him yet."
Saying so, he handed the package to Xu. Then said: "The gift has been received, I will go back first."
Mother Xu: "Ah, ah"
Jiang Zhe walked too fast. Xu Qing wanted to chase, but was pulled back by her mother.
Mother Xu opened the package in front of everyone. Inside were a few scattered sweets, snacks, a pack of cigarettes and a box of minced meat.
Xu Shou Rens wife: Heavens, I couldnt tell that Jiang Zhe was so generous.
Xu Shou Yi's wife: "Jiang Zhe said that this gift is for Dad, but other than the cigarettes and minced meat, dad doesnt like to eat sweets and snacks."
Xu Qing raised her hands: "That is of course for me."
Mother Xu cried while laughing: "You this kid, really unrestrained."
Words were just words, Mother Xu still gave most of the sweets and snacks to the Xu Qing, splitting the remainder with the rest of the family.
Although Xu Shou Rens wife wasnt satisfied with it, but after thinking about it, she had gotten it for free. Some food was always better than nothing.
Jiang Zhes gift was completely spreaded far and wide, along with Xu Shou Rens wife adding on stories. Shortly after, the entire team was pairing Youth Jiang and Xu Qing together.
In Zhi Qing courtyard, Xiang Cheng stopped Jiang Zhe and asked in front of everyone: "Jiang Zhe."
Jiang Zhe: "En?"
Xiang Cheng: "Are you together with Friend Xu?"
Jiang Zhe nodded.
Xiang Cheng and the others were shocked, their mouths falling open. Yao Yao, who came out to fetch water, threw away the basin, crying sadly.
