Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Xue Li nodded, "That's right, Fu Biao looks fierce when he has a stern face. He is suitable for public security. Prisoners will be scared when they see his stinky face. This little fairy boy is different. Hey, his eyes, is he mixed-blood?"

"Maybe there is ethnic minority blood in his family." There are people of E tribe here, although not many, but it should be considered common. Anyway, the villagers seem to be very used to it.

"It's possible. His eyes are so beautiful and sparkling." Xue Li sighed. Everyone loves beauty. Seeing beautiful things can make people happy. She looked at him several times in a row. Seeing that his lunch was just a steamed bun with wild vegetables, she sighed and said, "This world is really difficult. If it were another time, he could make a living with his face. Why would he have to suffer like this..."

Jiang Yu patted her. This girl often speaks without restraint. "I can't even stop you from talking when you're eating. Don't look at me. I can feel Chen Jinghan's murderous intent."

Xue Li blushed, "What murderous aura? How could there be any murderous aura! Oh, I don't want to watch it anymore." She pushed Jiang Yu away, lowered her head and stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth, but the next second she spoke vaguely, "But he is really good-looking!"

"It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. If you look at it again, Chen Jinghan will be unable to sit still!" Jiang Yu laughed to death, and the male educated youth eating next to him glared at him.

Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin were making fun of Chen Jinghan again. Wu Aiqing was also enjoying the fun and kept laughing.

After dinner, everyone took a short break and started picking corn again.

I drank a bowl of mung bean soup in the afternoon and worked until dark.

The first day of the corn harvest is over.

Everyone patted their sore legs and walked slowly home.

Jiang Yu and his companions turned onto the main road leading into the village and saw from afar a woman's back disappearing into the woods of Yaoer Mountain.

And there was Yi Chi, who was climbing the mountain alone, hunched over with fatigue.

There was smoke coming out of the kitchen of the educated youth center.

Everyone who came in saw someone busy inside.

Xue Li leaned over and took a look. "It's Li Fenfang. She's cooking porridge, and Luo Chengli is helping to light the fire."

Chen Jinghan pulled the people back and walked straight through the alley, "Don't worry about them, let's clean up and cook."

Xue Li stuck out his tongue, "Then go get some water, I'll get the beans and cabbage out."

Jiang Yu went to take a shower first, and the two of them cooked without any help from others.

Dinner was vegetable noodles and a piece of smoked fish per person.

From time to time, the old educated youth could be heard praising Li Fenfang from the front yard, saying that she was lively, capable, smart and beautiful...

Li Fenfang shyly waved her hands and said, "It was all done by Brother Chengli. I just helped wash the vegetables and clean up. Everyone is tired after working all day. You can eat and rest early when you come back. We can only help this time. We have to work together tomorrow."

"With your joining, our groups have increased. At least we can have two more days of rest. How great." Fang Qianqian just kept praising her. Those nice words were poured on Li Fenfang like they were free.

"Hey Sister Fang, how are our groups arranged?" Li Fenfang seized the opportunity. She wanted to be in a group with Luo Chengli. One of them would make fire while the other would cook. It would be a wonderful idea to be close to each other.

Fang Qianqian exclaimed, "You have four people here, so we can just divide into two groups. However, one group consists of two girls, so it might be inconvenient for them to do the heavy work. But it's not a big deal if everyone lends a hand. So why don't you discuss how to arrange it?"

Li Fenfang smiled brightly. She turned sideways and looked at Luo Chengli behind the stove. "Brother Chengli..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Luo Xinci who came over at some point. She said directly, "Brother, you have to be with me. You know I can't cook, but you at least know a little bit. I'll light the fire and you cook. That's perfect."

"Okay, I'll be in the same team with you." Luo Chengli knew that his sister was an amateur, so if he asked her to cook, everyone would go hungry. It would be okay if the food was not cooked well, but he was afraid that if it was cooked badly and wasted food, he would offend people.

Li Fenfang's open mouth slowly closed, and her hands hanging by her sides clenched unconsciously.

Yuan Jiaojiao looked at her with a smile, "Sister Fenfang, let's be a group of two. It just so happens that I don't know how to cook, so I have to learn how to light a fire. I'll trouble you from now on."

Li Fenfang forced a smile, "It's not a problem. We are all comrades, and it's only natural for us to help each other."

Luo Xinci and Yuan Jiaojiao looked at each other, then left together with a little complacency.

Fang Qianqian watched the show up close and left feeling satisfied.

Only the ignorant Luo Cheng was left standing behind the stove fiddling with the firewood, and the unwilling Li Fenfang was stirring the porridge in the pot from time to time.

After listening to all this excitement, Jiang Yu, who had a sharp hearing, sighed to himself that people's hearts are complicated. Then he went into the house, closed the door, and went to study the incense burner, iron plate and metal box that he had brought back from picking up scraps last time.

After the rust was removed from the three items, they looked much more beautiful. Jiang Yu guessed that they were antiques, so he did not dare to do anything with them. He used a soft cotton cloth to absorb the moisture and put them aside.

But the box was heavy, so she still felt she should open it and take a look.

Wet the rusted areas with a soft brush and let the rust remover seep in. Soon, the gaps in the box will loosen.

Brush the entire area with rust remover and let it sit for a while. Jiang Yu then soak up the solution with cotton cloth, insert a thin piece of wood into the gap, and pry it open little by little until the glued parts of the box are completely separated.

"Squeak--" The hinges on the back of the box were not lubricated and made noises when they moved.

Jiang Yu looked at the wooden box inside, feeling a little puzzled. It was packed quite tightly, made of both metal and wood. The wood looked very expensive, oily and smooth, with clear and beautiful textures. He could even smell a faint fragrance when he got close.

She took out the wooden box, and there was a small padlock on it. She didn't even need to use any force, and it opened with a casual pull. Maybe it was broken due to age?

Jiang Yu placed the wooden box on the table before opening it. There was a layer of velvet covering it. She peeled off the velvet and saw a whole set of moist, translucent, bright green jewelry lying quietly inside.

Teardrop-shaped earrings, a gold-inlaid jade ring, a royal concubine bracelet, a Wu Shi Pai necklace, and a hairpin in the shape of auspicious clouds, a very complete set of jewelry.

"So beautiful." Jiang Yu moved the jewelry box under the desk lamp. The light shone on them, and they were as beautiful as a pool of spring water.

The value of a complete set of imperial green jadeite jewelry is self-evident. It is impossible for someone without some background to afford such a thing.

Jiang Yu admired it for a while, then decisively put it away and put it back into the space. This thing cannot be worn now. Even if he likes it very much, he can only take it out and look at it secretly.

The appearance of the jade jewelry made Jiang Yu happy for several days.

Every day when he came back from the busy farming season to assemble his bicycle, he always had a smile on his face, which made Xue Li exclaim in surprise, "Is this the charm of money? I didn't realize that our comrade Jiang Xiaoyu is such a money-grubber~"

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at her and continued with his work.
