The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 56: Eating from the bowl, thinking about the pot

Chen Huaiyang came back during the lunch break and saw Lin Zhen enter the room of the man with glasses from a distance. No wonder the atmosphere between them was awkward in the morning.

Seeing that he refused to compromise, Lin Zhen set her sights on the man with glasses. He was a man who could bend and stretch himself, with clear goals, and would attack once he saw a target.

The man with glasses is a straightforward person. He likes to stand up for things he doesn't like. He works hard and is not lazy.

This character has both good and bad sides.

The bad thing is being reckless, the good thing is being fairly diligent.

There were only a few of them at the educated youth point, so it was normal that he was chosen.

He didn't bother to meddle in other people's business. He pushed open Yang Xiaolin's door, met her astonished eyes, and waved his finger.

At that time, Yang Xiaolin's heart was beating so fast with panic that any trace of sleepiness she had was completely gone.

"What are you doing? Be careful not to be seen."

These houses are built in a row, and can be seen clearly as soon as you go out, making it impossible to hide.

Chen Huaiyang watched the person approach, took the person's hand and took him away. His behavior was frank and not at all panicked.

"What are you afraid of? Everyone is resting, who has time to keep an eye on you."

Chen Huaiyang calmly brought the man back to the room. When Yang Xiaolin passed by the room of the man with glasses, her heart almost stopped beating.

It was so exciting, they walked hand in hand openly. If anything happened, they could see it clearly by opening the door, and there would be nowhere to hide.

Chen Huaiyang couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this, as if she had done something bad and looked guilty.

"Okay, we're here now, is there any need to be so scared? I'm exhausted and I'm just taking a rest!"

I took out the lunch box, which was filled with food.

White rice, braised pork and shredded potatoes, these two dishes are enough to tempt the taste buds.

Chen Huaiyang urged, "Eat quickly. It's been a while since you last had meat. Do you feel hungry when you smell it?"

Yang Xiaolin touched her stomach. Although she had eaten at noon, she could still eat more this time.

He picked up the chopsticks and started to eat the delicious food without any resistance. Chen Huaiyang was not a person who would compromise easily. Anyway, he had already taken advantage of it, so he would be wasting it if he didn't eat it.

In the end, there was still half of the lunch box left, after all I had lunch.

Chen Huaiyang covered her with the cap and reminded her, "Come over tonight and finish eating."

Yang Xiaolin looked at him, "You don't want to eat anything?"

Chen Huaiyang was lying on the bed, looking at her leisurely and said, "What do you think? I came back after eating, and these are for you."

"You were so plump when you first came here, but now you're as skinny as a bamboo pole."

Yang Xiaolin glared at him, "I'm warning you, don't let your imagination run wild."

Chen Huaiyang shrugged, "I won't tell you anymore. I know everything clearly from the hug. Work less and don't work so hard. I won't let you starve."

"Take this food back with you and take out more food at night. You won't look pretty if you get any thinner."

Yang Xiaolin ignored him. "I'm taking these back. What can I say? Everyone has the same amount of food. I suddenly have more. Won't others be suspicious?"

Chen Huaiyang pinched his brows, "Auntie, can't you just say you learned it from me? I just went to town and you asked me to bring it back for you. Is it really that difficult to just make up an excuse?"

"Come over and lie down for a while after eating?" He looked at her with charming eyes, the meaning was self-evident.

Yang Xiaolin was unmoved, "I have to go back, Lin Zhen might find out I'm not here soon!" Chen Huaiyang sat up instantly, with a hint of curiosity on his face, "Did Lin Zhen sleep in the room last night?"

Yang Xiaolin raised her eyes to look at him instantly, "What do you mean by that? You want to eat what's in the bowl, but you're thinking about what's in the pot."

When she returned home last night, she didn't see Lin Zhen. She was in a daze and didn't even notice when she returned. Could she have gone to look for him again?
Chen Huaiyang knew she had misunderstood at once, "Don't think too much. If you wanted to worry about her, you would have done it a long time ago. I just saw her enter the room next to yours."

Yang Xiaolin's eyes widened. "What do you mean? Are they sneaking around like us?"

Chen Huaiyang sneered, "They are doing it openly and honestly! Who is as cautious as you?" As long as the man with glasses compromised, the two of them would officially take a step forward.

Yang Xiaolin was choked by him. "Didn't you say that you agree with me? You said it with such confidence, do you want to contradict yourself?"

"If you're not satisfied, just keep it to yourself. You agreed to this yourself, so stop complaining to me."

"I'm going back. You promised me not to expose our relationship."

Chen Huaiyang's teeth itched, and he tapped his chin on the ground, reminding, "Take the food back. If you find that you haven't gained weight next month, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

When Yang Xiaolin heard his threatening words, she took the grain bag and left. Looking at his appearance, he was a good talker and if she didn't take it, she would seem like a coward!

When I returned to the room, I happened to see Lin Zhen. When she saw the grain bag in her hand, she looked at it straight with desire in her eyes.

Yang Xiaolin explained, "When Chen Zhiqing went to town, I asked him to bring some food. He was quite knowledgeable, and it was a bit hard to endure eating coarse grains every day."

"Do you need it? I can give it to you at once."

Lin Zhen shook her head, "I still have food here, so it's no problem for now." Although she wanted it very much, she couldn't afford the food coupons, and she wanted to save the little money she had for her return trip.

The slight worry she had just had disappeared in an instant. She had no way out. The weather was getting colder and she had to prepare food and supplies.

If her family doesn't send her the money, she might freeze to death.

Her family is not well off and no one will care about her life or death, so she must arrange a way out for herself as soon as possible.

Yang Xiaolin didn't insist. Ever since the last hospitalization, the atmosphere between them became awkward, and it became difficult to repair the relationship. After all, their relationship was not close enough to resolve the knot.

Some thoughts cannot be easily dismissed. It is understandable that the other party did not help her, and she has no right to make demands on others.

But I can no longer be as open-hearted as before, after all, people always empathize with others.

On the other side, Chen Huaiyang had just sent Yang Xiaolin away when an uninvited guest came to his door. He was stunned when he saw the man with glasses. It was strange that someone who usually slept soundly would come to him.

"What's the matter with you?"

The man with glasses got straight to the point. "You're smart, give me some advice. Lin Zhen suddenly asked me for food, and her words and actions were more relaxed than usual. Why is that?"

Chen Huaiyang laughed. It turned out that there was no real progress between the two of them!
"Isn't this a simple problem? We are running out of food, so we need to find someone to help fill the gap!"

The man with glasses frowned instantly, "Why didn't she come to you when she needed food? Don't you have more?"

Chen Huaiyang shook his head. "Don't give me any advice. I only have enough food for myself, but I can't share it with others."

"I can't even support myself, and you want me to support others. What are you thinking?"

"Don't take on a job that you don't have the skills to do. We must not agree to anything that we can't do."

The man with glasses nodded, "Thank you, I understand."
