The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 10 Right or Wrong

Jiang Cheng didn't expect that he could catch so many rabbits in the space near a small hillside.

In fact, we also saw pheasants, but they really won't let you get close unless you are waiting. Jiang Cheng plans to scatter some food within the range where he can store things, and then he won't need any traps at all, and the pheasants will disappear one by one.

Feeling that it was getting late, Jiang Cheng took out a rabbit. The rabbit was probably stunned for a moment when it appeared. It must have felt that it was sleeping well in the cave, and suddenly someone grabbed it in their hand, and it didn't react.

He found a stone and smashed the rabbit to death on the spot, then got out another one and repeated the cruel action. Then Jiang Cheng went home carrying the two dead rabbits.

On the way home, the villagers saw Jiang Cheng holding two wild rabbits, and they were envious, but they were just envious and not jealous. Nowadays, everyone admires people with ability, and they will not be jealous of you just because you have the ability to eat and drink well.

Jiang Cheng returned home and his sister-in-law and mother were still at home, washing clothes and doing other things.

"Chengzi, you have caught two rabbits again. This is amazing." Zhao Yuxia said in shock when she saw her son coming back with two rabbits in his hands.

Zhao Yuxia didn't expect that her second son would become so capable after serving in the army for a few years. He could catch anything swimming in the river or running on the mountain with his bare hands.

"It's no big deal. I'll hit them with a stone. I'll get you two pheasants tomorrow, not to mention rabbits." Jiang Cheng boasted shamelessly. It was good to brag anyway. When he caught them to eat in the future, everyone would think he was very capable.

The rabbit was placed directly at the kitchen door. Jiang Cheng didn't need to deal with anything else. He just had to wait and eat it. And he said he wanted to eat rabbit meat today, so he had to stew the rabbit meat today.

In addition, Jiang Cheng didn't need to wash the clothes he changed yesterday after taking a shower, as they had already been washed by his sister-in-law. In this era, it was like this in the countryside. Men worked hard outside to support their families, so naturally they had to enjoy some treatment when they returned home.

Jiang Cheng played with his nephews and nieces outside the house for a while, then went to the main house to chat with his father Jiang Changhe. He planned to go to the city to buy some painkillers for his father, because even if Jiang Changhe lay in bed and did not move, he would still have contractions sometimes, which meant that his condition was still getting worse. If he was not treated, he would be paralyzed and incontinent sooner or later.

As for the matter of providing treatment for Jiang Changhe, Jiang Cheng would not express his intention now. He would wait until he inquired about the doctor and the treatment costs in the city.

"Chengzi, Yingying is here, come out quickly." When Jiang Cheng was chatting with his father Jiang Changhe about things in the army in the house, his mother Zhao Yuxia's voice shouting outside the house came into the house.

"I'm here." Hearing that Zhou Lingying was here, Jiang Cheng immediately responded and left the house. After seeing Zhou Lingying, he knew why she came. Jiang Cheng was no longer as natural as yesterday, and said to Zhou Lingying with a concealed expression, "You're here."

"Yeah." Zhou Lingying responded with her head down.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. They just met yesterday, and after today, they might just be together as a couple. Jiang Cheng felt that they couldn't chat outside, so he said, "Why don't you sit in my room?"

"Ah."

Zhou Lingying responded again, and then waited for Jiang Cheng to return to the room before she followed him in.

"Lingying, please sit down. My mother should have explained my situation to you clearly. I will be going to work in a few days. If you agree to date me, we can only see each other a few times a month before we get married."

In the room, Jiang Cheng invited Zhou Lingying to sit down and said directly. This is the good thing about this era. It is more direct to date, which is suitable for straight men. Jiang Cheng in the 21st century is considered a straight man and will not chase girls. Otherwise, if he has a girlfriend, who would go to Didi every night?

Zhou Lingying didn't expect Jiang Cheng to be so direct, but this directness made her feel comfortable, so she sat up straight and said seriously: "Comrade Jiang Cheng, I agree to be with you."

"Comrade Zhou Lingying, I also agree to be with you. We will be in a relationship from now on."

When Jiang Cheng saw this scene, the corner of his mouth raised and smiled. Then he also straightened his body and spoke to Zhou Lingying, and stretched out his right hand to see if the other party would also stretch out his hand to shake hands with him.

When Zhou Lingying saw Jiang Cheng reaching out to shake her hand, she immediately reached out her hand and shook it, but then she realized that she couldn't retract her hand. Jiang Cheng's hand was very strong and she couldn't struggle away.

"Jiang Cheng, this is only the second time we meet. It's too quick for us to hold hands." Zhou Lingying said a little at a loss.

"Not fast. How about this, after you answer a few questions for me, if you feel it's still fast, I'll let you go." Jiang Cheng said, unwilling to let go of Zhou Lingying's hand. Jiang Cheng agreed to date her because he wanted to be straightforward and find someone to marry first and fall in love later, so it was better to be direct about everything.

"Jiang Cheng, ask."

"Are you willing to date me because I am good-looking or because I have a job, and I am a driver."

"Ah~~."

Zhou Lingying was a little confused when she heard Jiang Cheng's question, and she didn't dare to answer. How could she answer that she agreed to be his partner because she heard that he had a job as a driver and saw that he looked good. Wasn't this too snobbish? She felt that she was not such a person, but in her heart, she did agree to be his partner because of what Jiang Cheng said.

"Lingying, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm willing to date you because you're pretty. You're just alone now, and your parents aren't around to screen you. If your parents were to find a date for you, they'd still want to get to know the guy. If he doesn't have a job and isn't good-looking, they might not agree without even meeting him. Don't you think that's right?"

"Ah."

Jiang Cheng thought Zhou Lingying was not experienced in dealing with the world, so he planned to brainwash her with a twisted theory. Zhou Lingying really thought what Jiang Cheng said was right, and she cooperated with him and said "hmm".

"So when two people are together, they must be looking for something, which is normal. If they are not looking for anything, then why don't you date a poor, ugly, old country man? You are willing to date me, and we just met, so you want me to have a good job and look good, which is normal, right?"

It was another question about right or wrong. This time Jiang Cheng got to the point. Zhou Lingying felt that what he said made sense. She was willing to date him because he was good and she didn't want to live a hard life. So Zhou Lingying nodded again.

"Look, we can satisfy each other's needs for finding a partner. If you follow me, not only will you not have to work in the fields, but I can also take you to live in the city. But I can't go back to the village for a few days every month. So, you can calculate how many days we can be together from now until the New Year. So we have to be together faster than others. It makes sense to hold hands in the room, don't you think?"

After asking three questions in a row, Jiang Cheng was actually a little nervous. He didn't know whether the girls of this era were really as easy to fool as people said in later generations.

When asked this question, Zhou Lingying remained silent, but her hand in Jiang Cheng's palm showed no sign of retracting, which proved her inner response.
