Chapter 367: Troubles of New Educated Youth
While working, Liu Jingxue watched the show with her spiritual sense and saw all of Chen Jiaojiao's operations.
Seeing Aunt Guihua and her new partner getting together and gossiping about Chen Jiaojiao, Liu Jingxue believed that after work, gossip about Chen Jiaojiao and Zheng Pengcheng would be everywhere.
As for Zheng Pengcheng and Chen Jiaojiao, perhaps to prove that what she said was true, Chen Jiaojiao changed her previous working method and placed seeds and filled soil in an orderly manner.
He could even barely keep up with Zheng Pengcheng's speed in digging holes.
"Zheng Zhiqing, is there anything wrong with the work I did?" Chen Jiaojiao deliberately asked when she saw Zheng Pengcheng turn around and observe her work again.
Are you kidding? She is not a fool. She can put two seeds in a hole and cover them with soil. How can she not be able to do such a thing?
I did it on purpose just to change my partner so that I could be with Zheng Pengcheng.
"You did a great job," said Zheng Pengcheng.
Chen Jiaojiao said with a wronged look on her face, "But even though I did this, the aunt still said that I was wrong left and right, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.
She was obviously trying to make things difficult for me.
I really have no other choice, so I want to change to your partner."
"Zheng Zhiqing, have I caused you any trouble?" Chen Jiaojiao said pretending to be nervous.
Zheng Pengcheng began to believe what Chen Jiaojiao said.
Seeing the woman looking at him anxiously, with eyes full of reliance on him and believing that he could provide a good life for her, Zheng Pengcheng felt a little comforted in his heart which had been hurt by others' deliberate avoidance and cold treatment these days.
It made him feel like he was still the young master of the Zheng family who could call the wind and rain and had a group of younger brothers behind him when he was in the capital.
All the opinions I had about Chen Jiaojiao were instantly forgotten.
Zheng Pengcheng raised his hand generously and said magnanimously, "No, you didn't cause me any trouble."
Chen Jiaojiao was delighted, it seemed that her strategy was successful.
She continued, "Don't worry, Zheng Zhiqing, I will work with you in the future and I won't hold you back.
I really don’t want to live with those villagers anymore and be bullied by them.”
Although he temporarily accepted Chen Jiaojiao's partnership with him, Zheng Pengcheng still didn't say anything too final. "As long as you don't hold me back, I can partner with you."
Chen Jiaojiao felt relieved at first, but then she felt nervous again. It seemed like she couldn't be lazy anymore.
Among the newly arrived educated youth, Chen Jiaojiao was making a lot of noise, while Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao also had their own troubles.
During the two days of work, the two went from being unfamiliar to familiar, and gradually gained the recognition of the people they worked with, and became familiar with their partners.
Once you become familiar with it, troubles will follow.
The aunt who worked with Zhou Mingxuan began to inquire about the situation at Zhou Mingxuan's family.
Zhou Mingxuan would definitely not tell his grandfather's name and identity. After all, his grandfather's name often appeared in newspapers and on the radio, and anyone could tell it by just paying a little attention.
Zhou Mingxuan did not mention his parents' names. He just said in general that his whole family was in the army and did not say anything else.
"Then your situation is very similar to that of Liu Jingxue, an educated youth.
All of Liu Zhiqing's family members were in the army, and she was the only one who did not serve in the army.
My husband said that if Liu Zhiqing joined the army, the army would treat her like a treasure."
"By the way, Zhou Zhiqing, you may not know Liu Zhiqing yet, after all, she doesn't live in the Zhiqing camp.
I tell you, Liu Zhiqing is amazing."
The aunt began to tell Zhou Mingxuan about Liu Jingxue's deeds.
Although he had already known about Liu Jingxue from the children in the production team and the educated youth, in order to prevent his aunt from pestering him about family matters, Zhou Mingxuan pretended to know nothing and lured his aunt into talking about Liu Jingxue.
The aunt told Zhou Mingxuan what she had heard and seen, as well as what she had imagined.
The exaggerated tone made Liu Jingxue, who heard it with her spiritual sense, feel a little embarrassed.
It's really because my aunt exaggerated her too much.
It was so embarrassing that Liu Jingxue quickly blocked out the situation over there and stopped eavesdropping.
She decided to avoid Zhou Mingxuan as much as possible in the next two days. Otherwise, when she saw him, she would think of the aunt's exaggerated words, which would be very embarrassing.
Seeing that the aunt had finally diverted the topic away from himself, Zhou Mingxuan let out a long sigh.
But on Zhao Junhao's side, it was a completely different scene.
The three new male educated youth all had very good conditions, and the villagers all knew about it.
Now they see that Zhao Junhao is a skilled and kind young man who does not look down on the villagers.
The aunt started to act as a matchmaker again.
It’s a pity that there is no girl of the right age in my family.
Although I don't have any at home, there are many good girls among my relatives.
If I can marry this well-off young man from Beijing, with my status as a matchmaker and relative, wouldn't I be able to benefit from it?
So the aunt began to actively promote the girl from her relative's family to Zhao Junhao.
"Zhao Zhiqing, what do you think of the girls I just mentioned? Do you like any of them?
If there is someone you like, I will bring him/her over someday so you two can have a look at each other."
Zhao Junhao was so worried that the lady would bring someone here, he quickly tried to stop her.
"Aunt, there's no need to meet each other. I'm still young and don't plan to get married at this time."
"I'm not asking you two to get married right now. Just get to know each other first and find out if you're compatible."
"Aunt, when I went to the countryside, the elders at home told me not to date anyone.
They said that my partner must be assessed and approved by them. "
"What's the big deal? When you two are dating, just bring it back during your vacation and show it to your parents.
The girls from my relatives' families are all capable and down-to-earth, and they are good at managing the household. They will definitely be favored by your elders."
Zhao Junhao had no choice but to say, "Aunt, to be our daughter-in-law, you can't just be capable and good at managing the household.
Graduating from high school is the most basic requirement, you must have a decent job and strong working ability.
You must be able to go out to the living room and enter the kitchen. "
In order to discourage his aunt from acting as a matchmaker, Zhao Junhao could only raise his requirements for the woman.
The aunt was shocked. "Zhao Zhiqing, according to your standards, you will probably be a bachelor for the rest of your life."
"How could that be possible? My mom, my aunt, my sister-in-law, and my sister are all like this.
My daughter-in-law must be similar to them.
Otherwise, if my wife is looked down upon by everyone in my family, how can I live?
How can I hold my head up?" Zhao Junhao said deliberately.
"Then you should look for one in the city. We country girls don't have anything like that."
The aunt stopped making trouble and Zhao Junhao breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Liu Jingxue, who was secretly watching the show with her spiritual sense, felt that he relaxed a little too early. Soon his standards for choosing a spouse would spread throughout the Red Star Production Brigade.
From now on, whenever someone wants to see him, he will be a negative example, and will be brought up and despised at any time.
