The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (5)

"Jiang Zhe faster, we have to speed up. Its not early any more, its not good to go back too late."

Xiang Cheng reminded Jiang Zhe.

Going to town this time, other than some necessities, they also needed to buy some items for the New Year.

Although he was still alone, but he still had to treat himself well over the New Year.

They had already bought most of the necessities on the list, but Jiang Zhe still refused to leave, wandering around seemingly looking for something.

Xiang Cheng couldnt understand and asked: "Jiang Zhe, what are you looking for?"

Jiang Zhe: "I want to buy something."

Other educated youths also came over, "Jiang Zhe, what do you want to buy?"

Jiang Zhe: "I want to buy some cloth."

Xiang Cheng: "Buy cloth, what do you need to buy cloth for?"

Jiang Zhe: "Buy for Qing Qing."

"Oh~~~" The others began to holler, Xiang Cheng didnt know whether to cry or laugh, "Say so earlier. Right, do you still have money? Do you need me to lend you some?

Jiang Zhe shook his head. I still have some. Then he paused again: Or, how about you go back first. Ill continue looking for it in the town. If worse comes to worse, Ill just come back tomorrow.

Xiang Cheng: "Don't. Otherwise, the team leader will think we are letting you run away."

Jiang Zhes face darkened: "Then Ill trouble you to wait for me here."

Xiang Cheng and the others: "En, go.

Jiang Zhe bid farewell to his friends, turned into a small alley, and only came out after an hour, holding a big package in his hand.

He went to the state-run restaurant and bought seven or eight buns before he re-joined the group.

Jiang Zhe handed over the buns: "Sorry, Ive let everyone wait for a long time. Eat some buns to fill your hunger."

They were all from the same courtyard, so the other educated youths didnt stand on ceremony.

"Wow, it's actually stuffed with meat. It's really fragrant."

"I couldnt tell that Jiang Zhe you are so luxurious. Ive looked till my poor citizen eyes have turned red."

"Right, Jiang Zhe, what does your family do?

" "

Everyone was talking, but Jiang Zhe just smiled the whole way. When they mentioned his family, he just gave a few perfunctory sentences.

The original soul was very guarded, and never opened his heart to others. Therefore, it was normal for the other educated youths to remain unaware of his situation.

However, Jiang Zhe was also quite restrained. He only tried his best to improve the quality of his life as much as possible, doing just the bare minimum for everything else.

He always kept this sentence in his mind: the gun shoots the bird that stands out. This was especially so in such a volatile era.

During the few days of the Laba Festival, Jiang Zhe brought some items and knocked on the Xu familys door.

Mother Xu opened the door for him, saw that his hands were not empty, her face was gleeful, and her heart was very satisfied.

He was a polite boy.

Although Xu Zhi Hong still had no expression on his face, but after Jiang Zhe sat down, he still invited him for lunch.

Jiang Zhe smiled and thanked him.

He handed the gift to Mother Xu and accompanied the Xu familys men to chat over tea.

Xu Zhi Hong was talking most of the time, Xu Shou Yi answered him, occasionally asking Jiang Zhes opinion. Jiang Zhe also avoided heavy topics, and chatted about light topics, trying his best to go around it.

Some topics were too sensitive, he needed to guard against eavesdroppers.

Xu Zhi Hong was not satisfied with his sly character. In his eyes, sly people tend to overthink. His daughter was such an innocent lady, if she fell into Jiang Zhes hands, she would be eaten whole.

Therefore, when food was served on the table, he took his sons and took turns drinking with Jiang Zhe.

The remainder were all common snacks, pastries and other specialties from other places.

Mother Xu suddenly exclaimed in shock: "Heavens, this is beef jerky."

Xu Zhi Hong also came over, picked up one to taste, his face changing, stammering En.

Mother Xu resisted the urge to laugh, Xu Qing grinned at her dad. "Dad, you see how sincere Jiang Zhe is.

Xu Zhi Hongs face darkened, "He wants to snatch my baby girl, of course he has to fake a little."

Xu Qing:

Xu Qing: "Dad~~"

Xu Zhi Hong snorted from his nose, Females are always looking towards the outside, this old saying is really correct.

Xu Qing wasnt angry, it was good as long as her father agreed.

In the evening, Jiang Zhe had dinner at the Xu family before returning to Zhi Qing courtyard.

Xu family, Father Xu and Mother Xu were discussing over and over again.

Mother Xu: "I think Jiang Zhe that child is not bad. He is very polite and he also treats our Qing Qing very well."

Father Xu: "Wife has long hair, but is short-sighted."

Mother Xu pinched him in anger. "Youre far-sighted, then what do you think about Jiang Zhe?"

Father Xu: "Just, just like that."

Mother Xu smiled in anger, "Like what?"

Father Xus embarrassment turned into anger, and he snatched the quilt, "Are you sleeping? If youre not sleeping then Im going to sleep."

Mother Xu pressed her lips together, and harrumphed.

The next day, Xu Zhi Hong went to investigate Jiang Zhe. There was no way around it, his two sons were disappointing, still needing him this old man to do it himself.

However, when he got the information, he frowned fiercely.

He asked people to call Jiang Zhe over, going straight to the point, "Both your parents have passed away?"

Jiang Zhes eyes drooped, his face expressionless, Yes.

Xu Zhi Hong frowned: "When did it happen?"

Jiang Zhe: "During the incident when I went to catch wild animals."

Xu Zhi Hong: "When did you" When the words came out, he reacted.

Speaking suddenly became exceedingly difficult, and he did not know what to say for a while.

After a long while, he finally said: "You should have brought it up with me."

He was not an unreasonable person.

Jiang Zhe: "I forgot in a moment of emotions."

Xu Zhi Hong nodded.

The two were silent and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

After a long time.

Xu Zhi Hong: "When you get married with Qing Qing, you will teach in the primary school. We will look after you a little. You and Qing Qings days will not be too difficult."

Jiang Zhe lifted his eyes and looked at him. Xu Zhi Hong was a little uncomfortable.

Xu Zhi Hong: "What are you looking at, go home and prepare. After celebrating the New Year, marry Qing Qing."

Jiang Zhe: "Alright."

Jiang Zhe walked out of the gate and leisurely strolled along the narrow road.

Thinking about Xu Qings previous reaction, he made another origami grasshopper.
