Chapter 14: Up the Mountain
"Peach blossom today..." Xu Baozhen was interrupted by the village chief before she could finish her sentence.
The village chief warned Xu Baozhen with a serious expression, "Don't be too careful!"
When the others heard what the village chief said, they immediately became interested in gossiping. The women began to discuss in low voices, and the one who talked the most was Xu Baozhen's widowed mother.
When the village chief heard the mess in the grain drying field, he immediately stopped and told them to go to work quickly.
When Xu Baozhen heard the warning given to her by the village chief in front of the whole village, her face became even more ugly and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
No one saw her tightly clenched hands, her palms turning white and leaving deep nail marks.
Xu Baozhen completely hated the village chief. He actually said that about himself directly in front of the villagers. Can he still have a good reputation?
She even hated Jiang Qingwan. If she hadn't come to steal this job, she wouldn't have been criticized by the village chief.
Another reason is that Lu Zhiqing saved Jiang Qingwan before, but he turned a blind eye to the women who were approached by other people, as if he was indifferent to strangers.
It can be said that since arriving in Dawan Village, apart from Su Zhiqing who came with Lu Zhiqing, Lu Zhiqing has always been cold and indifferent to everyone he met.
She also looked alienated from Jiang Taohua, and did not treat her "differently" at all because she was the granddaughter of the village chief.
The reason why she took Jiang Taohua to the educated youth station together was because she hoped that she could get close to Lu educated youth as a friend of the village chief's granddaughter.
She is already 16 years old, and her mother is afraid that she will soon be sold when she reaches that age.
Her mother always felt that it was because she gave birth to a girl named Xu Baozhen that her husband's family divorced her and returned home, and her family did not accept her.
So she had to find a good man to marry before her mother sold her to those idiots and cripples.
Originally she wanted to find someone in the village, but everyone in the village knew that her mother had a bad reputation and would definitely not accept her.
So she turned her attention to the educated youth office. Those educated youths were better than the men in the village who knew how to farm, and they were all from the city. If they married an educated youth, they would have a city registered permanent residence when they returned home.
There is no doubt that the new Lu Zhiqing in this group of educated youth has a higher status than the others, but Lu Zhiqing repeatedly rejected her approach to Tao Hua.
But she would not give up. This time she asked Taohua to tell the village chief that she would be cut with pigweed. The place where the pigweed was cut would pass by where the educated youth worked, so that she could slowly get closer to Lu Zhiqing every day.
Unexpectedly, Taohua did not come today, and the village chief directly gave the grass-cutting task to that little girl Jiang Qingwan, which ruined her plan.
She secretly glanced at Jiang Qingwan's thin and shriveled figure, then looked at her own body, and smiled sarcastically, but she was still a 13-year-old girl.
After the village chief left, everyone in the village went to work in their own places.
Jiang Qingwan went to the warehouse, asked the warehouse keeper, got a backpack and a sickle, and walked to Baiyun Mountain.
Jiang Qingwan is very satisfied with this job. She can look for something in the mountains while cutting pigweed.
She was going to take her brother home today, but after her brother stayed at her uncle's house for two days and had nothing to eat and live for free, she was a little embarrassed and wanted to send something to her uncle. The things in the space were not good.
Take it out, so you can only try your luck in the mountains.
The village chief asked her to give the pigs grass, which was a perfect timely move.
The original owner often helped cut pigweed at home, so Jiang Qingwan found a large piece of pigweed based on her memory.
After a while, a basket was full. Just as she was about to send the basket of grass down the mountain, she heard an animal running towards her in the distance.
Jiang Qingwan heard that there was not much movement, it must be a small animal, so she walked over slowly.
At a glance, I saw two rabbits jumping on the grass. Their fur was snow-white.
She first looked around, then poured the cut pigweed on the ground.
Carefully approaching the two rabbits, the two rabbits were relatively close, so Jiang Qingwan wanted to catch them all.
