Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 116 Unsatisfactory

Jiang Yu wanted to say no, but from what he said, it seemed that he wanted to use these work points to offset the kindness of the brick kiln. That was a good relationship! She immediately agreed, "Okay."

Zhuang Shouren clenched his fists behind his back, then said with a smile, "It would be great if you are willing to accept it. Then come with me to the brigade headquarters, and you will have to sign the certificate."

Jiang Yu nodded, then followed him to the brigade headquarters.

"What are Master Jiang's plans for this year?" Zhuang Shouren took two steps and found another topic.

Jiang Yu did not show any resistance, and replied in a lukewarm manner, "To work, to the mountains. I have come to the countryside, so my focus must naturally be on building the countryside."

But how can going to the mountains to work be considered as building a rural area? Isn't it just like ordinary villagers? Zhuang Shouren was slightly dissatisfied, but he didn't show any trace on his face. "That's good. Master Jiang is strong. It will be much easier for us to open the land this year."

"Really?" Jiang Yu glanced at him. She was tall, and her drooping eyes passed across Zhuang Shouren's face like a substance. "I'm just doing my duty."

Zhuang Shouren thought of Jiang Yu's ability, and the smile on his face became more sincere. "We all know what Master Jiang is capable of."

The topic ended awkwardly. The two walked to the brigade headquarters and signed the profit distribution slip for the brick kiln. Jiang Yu and Zhuang Shouren looked at each other, told him that they would be going out tomorrow, and left on their own.

Zhuang Shouren watched her walk away, and for a moment he didn't understand what went wrong.

He sat quietly with the teacup for a long while, and finally looked towards the hillside with an unfriendly look, "Yi Chi." It must be Yi Chi, he must have done something!

Jiang Yu didn't know that Zhuang Shouren attributed her change of attitude to Yi Chi, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care. Yi Chi treated all villagers equally, and he hated everyone equally. It didn't matter if one more person had a problem with him.

After she returned to the educated youth center, she found that Lin Anna's luggage was still at the door of the room assigned to her, and she didn't take it into the room. She was a little curious about where she had gone. Wasn't she worried about losing her things? After all, the people in the front yard had stolen their rations at the beginning.

When she stepped into the backyard, she saw Lin Anna was still talking to Xue Li and the others and trying to get close to them.

Chen Jinghan read the letter from home and learned that Lin Anna was the daughter of Jiang Min's orderly. It seemed that his mother had a good impression of this girl, so she asked him to take care of her. In this regard, he could only shrug and say that he could not help.

Take care of? It's not difficult to live in the countryside. Why do you need a strange man to take care of you? It's not good to say it out loud.

Xue Li just felt that Lin Anna's attitude was a little strange. She seemed very friendly, but some of her words always sounded weird, a bit like the green tea that was rumored on the Internet in his previous life.

Jiang Yu was not interested in the new educated youth and turned around and went back to his room.

Xue Li didn't say much outside. When Lin Anna shifted the topic to Chen Jinghan again, he made up an excuse and slipped away.

Later, Lin Anna went back to the front yard to pack her luggage, and took some candy to ask He Yuanchao about the meal arrangements.

"We have separated the kitchen, but to show our welcome, we will treat you three newcomers to a meal tonight. You can decide what to eat after that during dinner." He Yuanchao took three fruit candies and stuffed them into his pocket without hesitation. He also told her all about buying furniture and getting rations, as a reward.

After listening to this, Lin Anna became more and more confused.

What happened? Why did it become like this? Guan Wenbin, the hypocrite, didn't live in the educated youth camp, and the educated youth who stayed behind actually had their own kitchen to eat. What should I do? Who should I go to...?

Lin Anna's eyes lit up, she stuffed her luggage into the cabinet and ran to the backyard again.

"Knock knock." She knocked on the door of Chen Jinghan's room.

Chen Jinghan came out to open the door with a frown on her face, then stood straight by the door and asked her, "Lin Zhiqing, what can I do for you?"

"Brother Jinghan, I just found out that everyone didn't eat together. How did you arrange it? Can you take me with you?" Lin Anna didn't say anything more and went straight to explain the reason.

Chen Jinghan frowned even more tightly. He felt that he should make his attitude clear and not let this lady misunderstand him.

"First of all, I don't know you well, so don't call me brother. Secondly, we all do our own things and don't cook together, so I can't bring you along. Okay, do you have anything else to do?"

Lin Anna exclaimed, "Cook by yourself? Wouldn't it be troublesome to cook for every meal? Brother Jinghan, can I come with you? I can cook, and we can be partners..."

"I don't need it. Meals for one person are easy to solve." Chen Jinghan refused directly. What's wrong with this woman? Doesn't she understand what others say? The refusal is so obvious, why is she still complaining?

Jiang Yu pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside. The more he listened, the more strange it seemed. This new educated youth was really weird.

Xue Li also lay on the door, pressed against it tightly, trying to hear more clearly.

Lin Anna looked at a loss, "What should I do?" She felt a little wronged. Didn't Auntie tell Chen Jinghan in the letter to take care of him? Why is this guy still so stubborn? Didn't she say he listens to his mother?

Chen Jinghan didn't know what she was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely laugh to death. Of course, she had to listen to her mother. She should listen more to the right things and also to the wrong things. But she would just forget what she had heard.

"What you do is your business. Lin Zhiqing, goodbye." Chen Jinghan slammed the door and shook off the goose bumps on his body. Could it be that this woman is clinging to him?

Help me, mom, you are in City B and yet you are causing trouble for your son who is thousands of miles away. You are really something!

After listening to the excitement, Jiang Yu turned on the small table lamp on the cabinet, pointed it at the pipe in his hand, and looked at the jade carving part through the light. The fine swastika pattern was all over the jade. Jiang Yu took out a pen and paper and copied the patterns on it.

Xue Li lay down on the kang with a little pride. He gave Comrade Chen Jinghan one point today for not giving preferential treatment to other women. That was good.

After all, this woman knew his family, and for the sake of his family's face, he should take some care of her. However, Chen Jinghan did not do so, which made Xue Li very satisfied.

After Lin Anna returned to her room, she finally couldn't control her expression and revealed a hint of ferocity.

Damn it! Damn it! Why did everything change? The plans she had made along the way collapsed before they were even implemented. It was so annoying!

If Chen Jinghan agreed to her partner's request today, then she would probably say that everything turned out well!

But now Chen Jinghan refused, and the original plan was aborted before it even started. Everything that happened caught Lin Anna off guard, so she became more and more angry.

He Yuanchao returned to the room carrying the kettle and saw Lin Anna with her back to the door, motionless. He looked at her twice with some confusion.

But Lin Anna was extremely perceptive and turned her head to look over.

He Yuanchao felt a chill on his back and was so frightened by her look that he burped.
