Chapter 350 Ledger
Jiang Yu gasped, carefully picked up the coarse cloth covered with debris, put it aside, and then stood up with difficulty. Her body kept making creaking sounds. She felt like some old instrument. Without lubrication, her joints were not flexible enough.
When she finally recovered a little, Jiang Yu looked at the watch again and found that she had just stayed up all night. However, she was young and didn't care about it. At most, she could just finish her meal and fall asleep.
Jiang Yu touched his hungry belly, added new firewood to the stove, scooped out the warm water in the pot, poured it into the ice water in the water tank next to him, and began to wash.
At daybreak, she shivered with the toothbrush in her mouth and washed herself faster.
I originally thought that I would be the best among the educated youth to start the conversation, but after a while, Xue Li from next door came out, neatly dressed and carrying a bicycle.
"So early?" Jiang Yu spit out the foam in his mouth, rinsed his mouth, and smiled at Xue Li.
"I have to go to the city and hurry up." Xue Li replied, then ran away in a hurry.
Jiang Yu watched her disappear in the alley, raised his eyebrows, then shivered and went back to his room to wash his face.
After dinner, Jiang Yu hung a Do Not Disturb sign outside the door, lay down on the warm kang, and fell asleep in seconds.
After everyone got up, Wu Aiqing glanced at the sign at the door of Jiangyu, smiled, carried his medicine basket and took a small hoe to go up the mountain to continue collecting herbs. It was another day of active work for the herbalists.
Wu Xiaoxiao and He Chongwen, who were exhausted in the past few days, also saw the sign at the door of Jiang Yu. At that moment, an emotion called envy reached its peak.
When can we be so stubborn and lie down? He Chongwen and Wu Xiaoxiao looked at each other and saw this sentence in each other's eyes.
The two spoiled children were almost collapsed by the farm work and almost burst into tears in the field.
But it's not just the two of them, the other newcomers are almost the same. If there weren't old educated youth around them teaching them how to be lazy, they would definitely not be able to handle it.
As for Wu Xiaoxiao and the other two, they were the type who were just lazy and wanted to faint.
Why am I so desperate to come to the countryside? !
Wu Xiaoxiao's original passionate love for Zhang Ming was gradually eroded by his words and actions over the past period of time, as well as He Yuanchao's seemingly scolding but actually warning words. Now, coupled with the hard work she had never experienced before, her emotions were very unstable.
Although He Chongwen was also very tired, he felt even more sad when he saw Cheng Zitao's even harder life.
He didn't understand why Cheng Zitao's father wanted him to follow his grandfather to the countryside. Like the families of other people who were sent down to the countryside, he could stay in the city as long as he severed his ties with the people. Whether he found a job or went to the countryside, it would be better than being sent down to the countryside, right?
Although Cheng Zitao is not good at studying, he is generous and good at dealing with people. If he goes directly to work in a factory, his future will not be too bad, right?
He Chongwen looked at Cheng Zitao, who was sweating profusely from carrying water even though it was still quite cold, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
But his reluctance was meaningless to Cheng Zitao, and even a little disgusting. He frowned slightly and glared at He Chongwen while walking.
He Chongwen thought he was reminding him to be careful, so he lowered his head and stopped looking.
Although the two people had completely different ideas, at least the results were the same.
At noon, the educated youth returned to the educated youth center in batches and started cooking.
Zhang Ming grabbed Wu Xiaoxiao who was walking towards the backyard, frowned and said impatiently, "Wu Xiaoxiao, I've already apologized, what else do you want? Why are you getting more and more irritable? Stop it, that's enough."
Wu Xiaoxiao hissed, and quickly shook off the other's hand, raised her wrist and moved it twice. She had used too much force when digging grass roots in the morning, causing her wrist to ache abnormally. As a result, he pulled so hard that her wrist hurt even more. She glared at him unhappily, "Zhang Ming, when did you apologize to me?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I was wrong? Why are you still turning your back on me? Wu Xiaoxiao, I really know I was wrong. Can you please stop making trouble?" Zhang Ming looked at her helplessly, as if facing a unreasonable child.
Wu Xiaoxiao became even angrier. She felt that this man was really inexplicable. "You said you were wrong, but you didn't apologize to me! Does saying you were wrong offset your previous mistakes? Zhang Ming, you really have changed. You have become so strange to me. I feel like I don't know you at all."
Zhang Ming seemed to be hurt when he heard this. He looked at Wu Xiaoxiao in surprise, "Just because I ate some of your rations, because I was too tired and forgot to help you light the fire, so you have to completely deny me? We are obviously such good friends, you have been angry with me for several days, right?"
"Good friend?" Hearing this word again, Wu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt like laughing. Didn't he know what she was thinking? If she just regarded him as a good friend, why would she accompany him to such a faraway place in the countryside?
"Yes, aren't we good friends? We have known each other since junior high school, and it has been more than 4 years until now..." Zhang Ming felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"Okay, good friends, brothers should settle accounts clearly. Zhang Ming, let's calculate how much money you have borrowed from me over the years. Otherwise, I will always think about this matter in my heart, and I really can't continue to associate with you. I will feel like you are taking advantage of me and cheating me of my money." Wu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anymore. She felt that Zhang Ming was a bastard! If she had seen the other person's face clearly before going to the countryside, she wouldn't have suffered so much!
Zhang Ming was stunned. What? Settle the account? Why did they talk about borrowing money? His heart skipped a beat and he became more and more panicked. He just wanted to bring Wu Xiaoxiao back to continue living together and take advantage of her. Why did things seem to get worse and worse? Wu Xiaoxiao, does she... not love me anymore?
Wu Xiaoxiao looked at the other person's panic, her mind clearer than ever. She recalled what He Chongwen said when she and she were listening to the gossip of the aunties. If a man loves a woman, his actions will be much faster than his words. On the other hand, Zhang Ming always talks faster than he acts, and he is particularly good at talking. She used to be very fond of this.
How stupid! Wu Xiaoxiao straightened her chest and decided to cut off all ties with that bastard Zhang Ming from today on!
"I have an account book. Do you want me to take it out? I have to thank you for this. It was you who told me to keep the account because you would definitely pay me back and settle those accounts."
