Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Xue Li became more interested and curious about Yang Xiaoling's appearance. She held Chen Jinghan's shoulders and used them as a stepping stone, trying to find Yang Xiaoling and catch a glimpse of her real face by passing the villagers who were watching the kiln working.

Chen Jinghan probably saw an unfamiliar figure, pointed in that direction and told Xue Li, "Look over there, is that the person?"

Yang Xiaoling had already walked down the mountain, but judging from the direction she was heading, she was heading towards the end of the village.

But the way back to Tuanjie Brigade should be towards the village entrance.

Xue Li clasped his hands into a circle and placed them in front of his eyes, pretending to be a telescope. "Where is she going?"

"Whose kid has this woman taken a fancy to now? Oh, you better be careful, this woman has a sharp tongue, she can coax a man into emptying his pockets with just a few words!" The auntie next to him also imitated Xue Li's actions and looked around, muttering a few words.

While everyone was busy watching the excitement, Ma Yanna raised her eyebrows at the tall and strong man in the crowd, then turned and walked into the woods.

Jiang Yu looked over and saw that not long after, the tall and strong man also left and walked towards the same place.

She thought of Ma Yanna's recent condition and suddenly understood how she had paid off Guan Wenbin's medical expenses.

She actually engaged in the sex trade in the village? In this era when having affairs between men and women would be criticized, she was really bold in doing so.

Everyone had fun for a while halfway up the mountain, then they remembered their own chores at home and didn't dare to waste any more time, so they all left in groups.

Zhuang Shouren and the people who stayed behind gathered around Jiang Yu again, watching her holding the sketch and starting to prepare for the construction of the next kiln.

The educated youths also dispersed one by one. Xue Li was still talking to Chen Jinghan about Yang Xiaoling along the way.

She just saw a graceful back and didn't see the face, which made her feel very sorry.

What kind of beauty can win over all the men with her sweet words?

Fu Biao went into the backyard carrying firewood and saw Xiong Lijin sitting in the yard in a daze with a newspaper in his hand. He was immediately puzzled, "When did you come back? I thought I left the earliest."

"Don't mention it. Didn't I tell you before that I met a psychopath in town? I thought it was an accident, but she came looking for me. When we were just on the mountain, I saw her coming towards me and I ran away immediately." Xiong Lijin put the book down and complained with an irritable look on his face.

"What? The woman who just came up the mountain to look for someone?" Fu Biao threw the firewood away and showed an expression that shocked my whole family.

My goodness, we spent a long time eating melons in the mountains, and it turns out that the unlucky guy mentioned in the melon is from my family?

"Do you know who that is? That's Yang Xiaoling. Oh, yes, you definitely don't know who Yang Xiaoling is. Let me solve the puzzle for you!"

A few minutes later, Xiong Lijin looked up at the sky helplessly. Wasn't it just a lunch in town? Why did he run into such a bad love?

Fu Biao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hold on, brother!"

"I really can't take it anymore." Xiong Lijin felt very tired.

That night, Jiang Yu came down from the mountain and was caught by the sneaky Xue Li. The two hid in the room.

Jiang Yu was cooking in confusion, and Xue Li explained to her in a low voice, "You know, that Yang Xiaoling, she came to see Xiong Lijin!"

Jiang Yu pretended to be shocked, but she had guessed it. After all, when she saw the woman, Xiong Lijin was just hurrying down the mountain.

"It must be that Xiong Lijin was spending money lavishly outside and was seen by that woman! Xiong Lijin is good-looking and rich. No wonder people keep chasing him." Xue Li nodded affirmatively.

To be honest, except for Chen Lei who was too short and ugly, everyone else in their educated youth compound looked pretty good.

However, they are all new-age educated youth who have been baptized by farm work, and some traces of time are unavoidable.

Even Xue Li herself, who uses high-end skin care products from the future every day, still has calluses on her finger joints, except for her fair skin which is still eye-catching.

When Xiong Lijin first came, he was like the gentle and refined jade-like young man described in the novel, wearing thin-framed glasses and looking very gentle. Now he is tanned and stronger, and his original energy is gone.

But he was rich. Every time he went back to the town, he would go to the state-owned restaurant for a feast. He was not stingy about eating meat and was very generous when buying things.

It had only been a short time since he came to the countryside, but the waiters at the food counter of the supply and marketing cooperative had already treated him like a half-nephew, and would always save a portion of anything rare for him.

People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat, and this is the result.

The next morning, Jiang Yu ran into Xiong Lijin when she went out. She looked at her friend curiously and suddenly realized, "You seem to have gained a little weight. Is the food so good?"

Xiong Lijin wanted to cry but had no tears. He just indulged himself a little after going to the countryside! "Besides making money, my only hobby is eating. Being fat is my destiny!"

"Anyway, you'd better be careful. Yang Xiaoling's reputation in the Unity Brigade is ruined. She will catch you and not let you go, or use some tricks..." Jiang Yu has seen the evil of human nature, so he always subconsciously thinks the worst.

Xiong Lijin grabbed his collar tightly, "I understand. I will protect myself and will never let that psycho succeed."

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, "Make some chili powder yourself, wrap it in a small oil paper and carry it with you. When you run into trouble, tear open the oil paper and throw it in people's faces to buy yourself time to escape."

Xiong Lijin looked as if he had been taught a lesson. "That's feasible!"

The two separated at the entrance of the educated youth center.

Luo Xinci, who went out just like them, also heard what Jiang Yu said just now. She thought to herself that as a weak woman, she had come all the way to the countryside to engage in construction, and she had to ensure her own safety, so this chili powder bag, ahem, I also have to learn about it.

Jiang Yu didn't care if someone secretly learned his tricks. This kind of trick was only suitable for a relatively stable society. Not many ordinary people could get their hands on hot weapons these days, so these tricks were barely enough.

The villagers dug two large circular pits 3 meters deep on the hillside, and the excavated soil piled up high beside them. In order to build the kiln, they also cut down nearby trees.

Jiang Yu suddenly remembered something and turned to Zhuang Shouren, "We have to cut down a lot of trees to burn coal, but we can't just cut down trees without planting anything. After a few years, the mountain will be completely bald. It just so happens that everyone says that the soil here is suitable for growing apple trees. You can talk to the villagers and see if you want to buy some apple trees to plant. It shouldn't be expensive to buy small ones."

Zhuang Shouren thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Regardless of whether these kilns would be used in the future, they would definitely be used now. So the long-term logging and tree felling would consume a lot of resources. He should plant some trees to prevent it. "You are thoughtful. I will organize a small meeting when I get back and discuss it with the villagers."

"Stop calling me that, Uncle Zhuang. I'm young and you're making me sound old." Jiang Yu couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped him.
