Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

"New educated youth, please introduce yourselves."

"I'll go first. Hello everyone, my name is Zuo Qingqing, I'm from Hunan Province, and I'm eighteen years old this year. I hope you will all help me grow in the future."

The speaker was a girl with a very prominent figure, comparable to Xue Bingbing. She had a round face and a different kind of beauty than Xue Bingbing, giving off a gentle and graceful feeling.

"Hello everyone, my name is XX, I am 17 years old, and I come from Sichuan Province. Thank you."

Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Xiaowen, I am 19 years old and I come from Xinjiang Province. Please take good care of me.

This girl is very tall, 173 cm, with long legs that are at least a meter long, the kind that could crush a person. She is also quite pretty.

"My name is He Xiaoqin from Shanxi Province. I'm 18 years old this year. Please take good care of me."

Liu Xiangyang had always thought that people from Shanxi Province were all very tall, even the girls, but He Xiaoqin shattered that impression. He wondered if it was because of poor nutrition, as she was only about 1.5 meters tall.

"Hello everyone, my name is..., and I'm from...."

"Hello everyone, my name is..., and I'm from...."

All five girls were very pretty. As for the two boys' names, Liu Xiangyang didn't remember either of them. The old educated youth only knew Xie Zhiyong and Luo Lan.

After introducing themselves, they started eating, but there were too many people, so they had to take their lunchboxes and eat on the side.

Liu Xiangyang, Xue Bingbing, Le Qi, and Le Yao were eating in the yard, chatting and laughing, when Zuo Qingqing walked over.

"Comrade Liu Xiangyang, I just heard them say that you killed a bear all by yourself. Is that true? I can also hunt. Can you take me with you next time?"

"Don't worry, I'm from an ethnic minority. I've been hunting in the mountains with my grandfather since I was a child. I know how to use a gun and won't hold you back."

Looking at Zuo Qingqing, who had a gentle appearance but a fierce tongue, Liu Xiangyang found it hard to reconcile the two in one person.

"You hunt, and you often go into the mountains? You don't seem like it."

"Comrade Liu Xiangyang, this is discrimination based on appearance. Just because I'm pretty doesn't mean I can't hunt."

Liu Xiangyang was a little upset by the rebuttal and could only say, "I just learned how to hunt. I was lucky last time. I would never dare to bring anyone into the mountains."

"You can kill a bear by yourself, and you still say you're a newbie? I don't believe you."

Xue Bingbing: "Comrade Zuo Qingqing, he really didn't lie to you. Liu Xiangyang was in the same batch of educated youth as us. His ancestors were all from Beijing. Where would he find a place to hunt?"

"Zuo Qingqing, the autumn harvest is just around the corner. There's no time for hunting now. Let's talk about it after the harvest."

"Can you take me there after the autumn harvest?"

"We'll see when the time comes."

When Xie Zhiyong introduced Liu Xiangyang, everyone had already noticed him. Apart from being a bit dark-skinned, he was tall and handsome, and they heard that he could kill bears, which made everyone even more curious about him.

After the meal, everyone dispersed, but the new educated youth still had to pack their things and familiarize themselves with the environment.

Le Yao: "Liu Xiangyang, we're coming over to take a shower today."

"Okay, then I'll go get some stones and make a stone path in the yard. Do you want me to do that?"

"That's great, otherwise the house would be all muddy on rainy days, and it would be so hard to clean."

Leqi suggested, "How about we go collect stones with you first, and then take a bath when we get back?"

"It's okay, take your time. You guys go take a shower first."

"I can handle it myself."

Liu Xiangyang carried a basket to the place where the older women often washed their clothes and filled half a basket with river pebbles.

"Liu, there are plenty of stones here, what do you need this one for?"

"Auntie, I'm planning to pave a path in the yard, otherwise my feet will be covered in mud when it rains, and it'll be too difficult to keep clean."

An older woman next to her chimed in, "Then let me introduce you to someone. They'll cook, do laundry, and clean the house for you, won't that be great?"

"That's right, there are several pretty girls in my family. You can come to my house and meet them. If you like them all, you can marry them all."

"Liu Zhiqing, if you don't like her daughter, you can have your aunt marry you."

"Screw you, it's not like it's impossible."

"Oh, so you're getting horny now. Wait till you get home, your family will beat you to death."

Liu Xiangyang was terrified by the group of fierce women and ran away without looking back, carrying his basket on his back.

When I passed by the educated youth settlement, I heard shouting and cursing. After listening carefully, I realized it was still about the cooking and bedding issues he had when he first arrived. I shook my head and went home.

While the three of them were still taking a bath, he poured the broken-down stones from the space into the two courtyards.

The space was filled with large stones, which were broken down into large stone slabs more than ten centimeters thick. As long as you found the right angle, you could lay them out very quickly.

By the time the three women finished showering and came out, almost a third of the floor had already been laid out.

Xue Bingbing: "Liu Xiangyang, let's help you too."

"You just finished showering, don't sweat again. We can take our time. I'm not going to lay it out now, we can do it tomorrow."

"I'm going to take a shower and go to bed too." He glanced at Xue Bingbing after saying that.

Leqi glanced at the two of them with a complicated expression. After returning home and lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), Leqi suddenly asked Leyao, "Yaoyao, what would you do if you and someone else both fell in love with the same man?"

Le Yao: "Take it!"

"What if that woman is your friend?"

"Let's just snatch it."

"But that guy likes both of you a lot, and he's really nice to you both?"

Le Yao: "Sister, are you talking about Dad, Auntie, Second Aunt, and Mom?"

"No, it just suddenly occurred to me, and I wanted to ask for your opinion."

"Then let's do what our parents do."

Leqi: "But...that's illegal."

Le Yao: "But what? Aren't Mom and Dad very happy? I think happiness is the most important thing."

Leqi: "Yes, you're right. Happiness is the most important thing."

"Yaoyao, what do you think of Liu Xiangyang?"

"Great! He's tall, handsome, capable, generous, and comes from a good family."

"Do you like him?"

"Sister..." Le Yao turned over and looked into Le Qi's eyes.

"Sis, who were you talking about with Liu Xiangyang just now?"

"Answer me first, do you like him?"

Le Yao hesitated for a moment: "I like him. What woman wouldn't like a man like him?"

"So what do you think of Bingbing?"

"She's beautiful, kind-hearted, and has a great personality; don't we get along quite well?"

"Sister, do you mean Liu Xiangyang and Bingbing are together?"

"I guessed."

"Sis, do you like Liu Xiangyang too?"

Leqi: "Yes, I like him too."

"I knew it, the way you look at him is always different."

"So what do we do now? If it were just the two of us sisters, it would be easier to handle, but now there's Xue Bingbing. How about we go talk to Bingbing?"

"How should we approach her? Should we just ask? What if she denies it?"

"Wouldn't it be better if she denied it? Since she denied it, then the two of us sisters will go find Liu Xiangyang. I don't believe the two of us sisters can't win over Liu Xiangyang."
