Lu Jingzhe stood at the door. His superior height made him stand out in the crowd. The girls couldn't help but secretly look over here when they passed by him, but people of this era were very reserved. Even if they had any ideas, they just looked and no one came up to talk to him.

Lu Jingzhe was always aloof and cold. He automatically blocked all the gazes directed at him and stood there indifferently.

At this moment, Liu Xiaohong had already walked to his side, staring at him with her bright fox eyes, and said:

"Hello, comrade."

Because of the reconnaissance training he had received in the army, Lu Jingzhe had an extraordinary memory. He quickly remembered that this person was the woman who rode a bicycle without looking at the road in the morning, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

Seeing that the man didn't react, Liu Xiaohong thought he had forgotten about her and immediately reminded him:

"Do you still remember me? You helped me hold the car this morning, and I haven't thanked you yet."

"No need." Lu Jingzhe uttered two words in a deep voice.

His cold attitude did not dissuade Liu Xiaohong. She only looked at him eagerly and continued to flirt with him:

"My brother is also in the army. Oh, by the way, his name is Liu Yuanzheng. Do you know him?"

"I don't know him." Lu Jingzhe frowned slightly, his expression obviously a little impatient. He never liked chatting with strangers, let alone such an obvious approach.

"Oh." Liu Xiaohong was obviously disappointed.

Just at this moment, Lu Jingzhe saw Xia Qingning and a group of female workers walking out. She seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her delicate little face, and she was talking to people as she walked.

"Look, Qingning, your man is here to pick you up again." As soon as the female workers arrived at the door, they saw the extremely tall Lu Jingzhe outside the door. After saying that, they suddenly asked curiously:

"Hey, isn't that Liu Xiaohong next to him?"

Liu Xiaohong had her back to Xia Qingning and the others, so she naturally didn't notice that they were walking towards her.

She herself is very beautiful, and she has a brother who is also very handsome, so ordinary men are not in her eyes at all. Now that she has finally met someone she likes, she will naturally not let the opportunity go. She continued to say to Lu Jingzhe:

"Thank you so much for what you did this morning. My brother once said that if you get help from others, you should know how to repay them. Comrade, do you have time? How about I treat you to a meal?"

After saying that, she looked at Lu Jingzhe with eager eyes, her charming fox eyes were smiling, and her eyes were full of charm. She raised her hand to lift the hair that fell on her cheek. She was very confident in her heart and thought that no man could resist the temptation of her beauty.

Just as she was trying to unleash her charm, a gentle woman's voice sounded behind her:

"Okay."

When Liu Xiaohong heard the voice, she turned around subconsciously and saw Xia Qingning and several female workers in her group standing behind her at some point. It was Xia Qingning who had just spoken.

Obviously everyone heard what she just said, and soon realized that she was chatting up Xia Qingning's husband.

Liu Xiaohong, who was usually as proud as a princess and never took men seriously, actually took the initiative to strike up a conversation with others and even invited them to dinner...

After everyone understood, they looked at her with strange, amusement-filled and mocking eyes.

Before Liu Xiaohong could figure out what was going on, she saw Xia Qingning smiling and walking up to the man and asking:

"Can he bring his family with him?"

The words were said so bluntly, how could Liu Xiaohong not understand the relationship between them? At this moment, her face was visibly flushed with embarrassment.

She flirted with a man, a colleague, and was caught by so many people. She felt that she had never been so embarrassed before. Now she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

The female workers all knew how much Liu Xiaohong looked down on others. Seeing her humiliating herself like this, they naturally couldn't help but laugh at her:

"Haha...Xiaohong, didn't you say yesterday that he was a boiler operator? Why are you inviting him to dinner today?"

"Xiao Hong, you want to treat us to a meal, how can you only invite gay men? Haha... How about we all go together...

"Aren't you obviously trying to steal Qing Ning's girlfriend? Isn't that too rude?"

"Next time before you approach someone, Xiaohong, you should make sure to find out if she's married. Look how awkward this is now!"

Amid everyone's teasing, Liu Xiaohong completely lost her former pride, and all her sense of superiority seemed to be crushed to pieces. She blushed, said nothing, quickly got on her bicycle, and fled away.

On the way back, Lu Jingzhe clearly felt that Xia Qingning was in a good mood. Noticing her gently shaking legs, Lu Jingzhe frowned unconsciously.

When others chatted with her, she was not angry, and seemed quite happy!

"Can we go to the bookstore now?" When they were about to turn, Xia Qingning suddenly said to Lu Jingzhe:

"I want to buy some review materials for my brother."

After listening to this, Lu Jingzhe controlled the handlebars and took another road. After a moment, he asked in a calm voice:

"Do you really want to go to college?"

"Yeah." Xia Qingning nodded vigorously, and then realized that Lu Jingzhe couldn't see, and then said jokingly:

"Isn't it said that knowledge can change one's destiny? I also want to have more knowledge and take control of my destiny."

After hearing Xia Qingning's words, Lu Jingzhe's face flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that she had such a high level of ideological awareness. Just as he was surprised, he heard her say with some concern:

"But now the foreign language test is Russian, and I don't know any of it."

Xia Qingning remembered that the college entrance examination was resumed in 77, but the foreign language test was not English, but Russian. This was indeed a bit difficult for her who had never been exposed to Russian. Just when she was thinking about whether to sign up for a class or buy a book to study on her own, she suddenly heard the man in front of her say in a deep voice:

"If you really want to learn, I can teach you."

"You can speak Russian?" Xia Qingning was very surprised and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Yes." Lu Jingzhe gave an affirmative answer.

He said "know", not "know a little", which should be very impressive. Xia Qingning didn't expect Lu Jingzhe to be so knowledgeable, and nodded in agreement:

"Then I'll trouble you." After thinking for a while, he said:

"When I get admitted to university, I will definitely give you a big red envelope to thank you very much."

After hearing this, one corner of Lu Jingzhe's lips unconsciously curled up. Well, that's quite ambitious!

After arriving at the bookstore, they bought anthologies of classical Chinese, Tang and Song poetry, a geometry reference book, Russian grammar... They took two copies of each, one set for themselves and one set to send back to their brother.

I packed the books and went to the post office to mail a set of books back so that my brother could get the books earlier. This way, he could start learning earlier. Once people have hope and a goal to pursue, things will get better and better.

Not long after, the two of them rode their bicycles back to the compound. As soon as they entered the compound, Aunt Wu, who lived at the entrance of the compound, hurriedly stopped them and looked at Xia Qingning and said anxiously:

"Qing Ning, something happened in your family!"
