Chapter 57 She is such a smart little girl!

Qiao Xinyu became alert and asked, "Who are those others?"

"That's our neighbor!" Xu Qinghuan pointed to the house next door to the west. "I met Brother Jiang when I went up the mountain today. Not only did he save my life, he also gave me half a basket of mushrooms and a wild rabbit. In short, all the ingredients on the table were given by him, and he even left most of the mushrooms."

Yu Xiaomin originally wanted to ask about picking mushrooms, but after hearing this, she stopped asking for the time being and sat down to listen to what Qiao Xinyu had to say.

Qiao Xinyu held Xu Qinghuan's hand and said earnestly, "Huanhuan, Jiang Chengxu is a piece of shit. We may not meet him again after we go to the countryside, so we don't have to think about him anymore. But if we go to the countryside, we will always have the opportunity to return to the city in the future.

We are all still young, and our main task in the countryside is to work hard, protect ourselves, and wait for the opportunity to return to the city. Do you understand what I mean?"

These were the words that Qiao's mother told her when she went to the countryside. To put it bluntly, she was not to find a partner in the countryside, as it would be more troublesome when she returned to the city in the future.

Xu Qinghuan knew all this very well. She also knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed at the end of 1977, and she planned to take the exam then. In this life, she would definitely not work so hard to achieve success, but she would definitely want a diploma.

This is your passport to travel the world.

"I know, you don't have to worry! I didn't think anything of it. Besides, Comrade Jiang is not a scumbag like Jiang Chengxu. He doesn't like dealing with women at all." Xu Qinghuan comforted her best friend.

Qiao Xinyu thought of the production team's evaluation of Jiang Xingye, the team leader's nephew, whose father died trying to save the village's property and lives, whose mother remarried and killed someone, and who lived in the mountains for three or four years before returning.

He didn't like doing farm work and only got ten work points during the rush of planting and harvesting. He only got five or six work points during normal work, and he got a reputation for being idle.

But no matter how bad his reputation was, he had never had any affair with any girl. He was more handsome than a movie star, but any female member who came close to him would eventually leave in tears.

One of them was kicked into the river.

Qiao Xinyu also heard from the aunts in the team that Jiang Xingye's mother harmed her son for a wild man, and he also hated women because of his mother.

Even though Xu Qinghuan assured her again and again, Qiao Xinyu was still worried about her going to deliver food to Jiang Xingye alone, so Xu Qinghuan had no choice but to let her drag her tired steps and follow him to the next door.

Jiang Xingye had already returned. He had just finished washing his face and was holding a basin of water and pouring it into the vegetable patch in the garden.

He planted a lot of vegetables, which grew quite well. He couldn't eat them all by himself, and some of them were old.

When Xu Qinghuan appeared at the door, Jiang Xingye cast his gaze over there. It was dark and gloomy, revealing a dim light, as if it wanted to suck people's souls in. It was both dangerous and bewitching.

Especially when he saw Qiao Xinyu, Jiang Xingye's eyes darkened, like a beast baring its fangs, with a cold light flashing at the tip of its teeth.

A chill crept up from Qiao Xinyu's tailbone and spread to her whole body. She hurriedly held onto the fence and dared not move forward another step.

Xu Qinghuan was completely unaware and came in with a lunch box. "Brother Jiang, I brought you food. Come and try it. The spicy diced rabbit is delicious, and the mushroom soup is also quite tasty."

There were also six pancakes, wrapped in a clean handkerchief, which were handed to Jiang Xingye.

Jiang Xingye was holding a basin in his hand. He had just taken a shower and changed into clean clothes. Water was still dripping from his hair, sliding down his resolute cheeks. His jaw cut the water droplets in half like a knife. His black eyes were dark, and an unknown emotion rolled in them.

Instead of reaching out his hand, he raised his chin towards the house.

Xu Qinghuan was immediately delighted. The boss had assigned her a task, asking her to deliver the food to the house and even invited her in. Did this mean that the boss had begun to assess her qualifications as a younger brother? Xu Qinghuan placed the lunch box and pancakes on the table and thought carefully, "My friend brought back some earthenware bowls today. There are already bowls for dishes. I have three lunch boxes in total. You don't have to empty them out when you eat in them."

At noon, she saw Jiang Xingye pouring out the food and mixing them together, and the smell of the food was gone.

She was afraid that he would do it again. She couldn't imagine the taste of mushroom soup and spicy rabbit cubes mixed together.

Besides, if she leaves the lunch box here, she can come back to get it later. Doesn't that mean she has another chance to hook up with the boss... no, get close to him!

She is such a clever little girl!

After Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, she turned around and ran out of the house without giving Jiang Xingye time to react. She saw the vegetable plots on both sides. The vegetables were growing really well. She wondered if the boss would sell them to her?

"Xinyu, let's go back!" Xu Qinghuan took Qiao Xinyu for a few steps. Seeing that she seemed to be having difficulty moving, he was very worried. "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Qiao Xinyu felt a little complicated. She always felt that there was something abnormal about her sisters dealing with that second-rate guy.

But when asked to speak, she couldn't say anything, so she shook her head and said, forget it. She was too tired to even talk, and she was hungry, so she didn't want to think about these problems for the time being.

When they came back, Yu Xiaomin was actually turning over the vegetable garden.

"Xiaomin, why don't you eat? Aren't you tired after working all day?" Xu Qinghuan really admired her. She didn't even think of turning over the vegetable garden by herself.

But in this era, it is impossible to hire people to do work. If you are not careful, you will be labeled as a capitalist, which is a fatal matter.

"Waiting for you!" Yu Xiaomin put down the hoe, washed her hands, and came in to eat together. "Has the food been delivered?"

"Here, come and eat. There are ten pancakes left. I'll only eat two, and you can each have four." Xu Qinghuan divided the pancakes and only took two for himself.

The pancakes were a bit big, with soup and meat. It had always been Xu Qinghuan's habit to eat more vegetables and less staple food.

Healthy and not easy to gain weight.

"Huanhuan, Comrade Jiang Xingye is quite fierce. Aren't you afraid of him?" Yu Xiaomin asked out of curiosity.

Qiao Xinyu finally understood what was wrong and looked at Xu Qinghuan eagerly.

"He's not fierce, I don't think he's fierce. I think he's a nice person." Xu Qinghuan took a bite of the pancake, drank a sip of mushroom soup, and immediately closed his eyes in enjoyment.
“I’ve never eaten such delicious food before. It’s absolutely delicious!”

There is nothing else in the wild mushroom soup, but the soup is so delicious that it makes your eyebrows fall off. It is simply the best delicacy in the world.

Yu Xiaomin and Qiao Xinyu stopped asking questions and just focused on eating. The spicy diced rabbit was spicy and fragrant, the meat was tender, and the mushroom soup was so delicious that it made people want to swallow their tongues. The fatigue from a whole day's work was soothed away.

After Xu Qinghuan left, Jiang Xingye picked up a pair of chopsticks and prepared to eat. Jiang Xingwei came over and said, "Xiaowu, Dad asked you to go back for dinner. Mom made dumplings today."

Jiang Xingye didn't look up. Jiang Xingwei looked at the food in front of him and was shocked. "Xiaowu, t-did you make this?"
