"Jingjing, the last point you mentioned is really hard to deal with." Jiang Xiaohong said, "My brother only makes trouble for me all day long and can't help me at all."

"My mom also said that since I'm the eldest sister, I should give in to my younger siblings." Jiang Xiaohong couldn't help curling her lips when she mentioned this. "I feel like I'll never be able to stay in a good mood in my life."

Jiang Xiaohong sighed.

Xu Xiaoxiao had to agree, "Yes."

"However, rice washing water can be used." As she said this, Xu Xiaoxiao looked at He Jing's cheeks with envy again. They were really beautiful, as white as steamed egg whites, so white that it was enviable, and so delicate.

"so good."

He Jing looked at the envy in their eyes and suddenly didn't know what to say.

It’s really hard to say, it’s all innate.

Whether you want to develop it after birth has a lot to do with your individual physique.

"Hey, let's talk while we walk." Jiang Xiaohong suggested, seeing that it was getting late.

He Jing took a look, nodded, and followed their pace.

"By the way, Jingjing, we heard people say that Zhou Qi'an is a good person, and you will be very happy, especially after you get married." Jiang Xiaohong suddenly remembered and said.

"Do you know why?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was also very curious and looked at her sideways.

He Jing was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize what it meant, but she was not sure what it meant, so she asked, "Who told you that?"

"Those aunties told me when I was working." Jiang Xiaohong did not hide anything.

He Jing understood, and her earlobes felt hot. After coughing, she began to explain, "What do you think of Zhou Qi'an?"

"Very good." Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "But my mother said he was too old."

"When looking for a partner, you should find someone who is about the same age." Xu Xiaoxiao is seventeen years old this year, but has not yet decided on her marriage.

Jiang Xiaohong coughed and said, "My fiancé is not bad either. He is two years older than me."

Zhou Qian'an is already in his twenties this year, while He Jing is not even twenty yet, so the age difference between the two is quite big.

"His age is not a problem." He Jing tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I chose him because..."

"Good-looking?" Jiang Xiaohong immediately took over the conversation, "I think Zhou Qian'an is the most handsome in our production team."

"And he's tall."

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't like this kind of thing. "Xiaohong, don't forget that Zhou Qian'an could kill a wild boar by himself and carry it down the mountain."

He Jing had never heard of this from her family, so she immediately frowned and asked, "Hunting wild boars?"

"Ah?" Jiang Xiaohong and Xu Xiaoxiao were both very surprised and asked in unison, "You don't know?"

"Didn't your parents tell you?"

He Jing shook her head, "No, they told me that Zhou Qian'an is a good person."

Also, he lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother, so he is very filial.

Jiang Xiaohong cried out, then looked at He Jing with some sympathy, "My mom told me that Zhou Qi'an is amazing."

"If you marry him, you can't use violence during arguments. I will definitely lose if you do." Jiang Xiaohong was really afraid that He Jing would be beaten by Zhou Qi'an after they got married.

"Jingjing, if he hits you, you must tell your elder and second brothers immediately." Jiang Xiaohong couldn't help, but fortunately He Jing had two older brothers at home.

Two against one, it should be a draw.

He Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she still answered seriously, "If he dares to hit me, I will divorce him."

"From now on, we will each live our own lives."

In the minds of Jiang Xiaohong and Xu Xiaoxiao, divorce is not an option.

Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Once you get married, you have to follow this person for the rest of your life.

The only option is to marry again if the man dies.

Now, upon hearing He Jing's words out of the blue, they both couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, their pupils dilated with shock.

"Jingjing, are you serious?" Jiang Xiaohong asked.

He Jing nodded without hesitation, "It's natural."

"You too, if you're not living well, then get a divorce and come back." He Jing said, and raised her eyes to see Zhou Qian coming over with a small bamboo basket in his hand, and no one knew what was in it.

Jiang Xiaohong and Xu Xiaoxiao also saw it.

"Zhou Qian'an is here." Jiang Xiaohong whispered to Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao glanced over and said, "I saw it."

"Then should we?" Jiang Xiaohong pointed in another direction, wanting He Jing and Zhou Qian'an to get along together.

"No need." He Jing heard, "He came over to say hello."

Although the two are dating now, they were still very conservative at that time in 1976.

Generally speaking, young couples would not walk together openly.

Otherwise people will gossip about you.

Before, when He Jing and Zhou Qian went out, it was always in the afternoon when everyone in the village was resting and no one saw them.

Otherwise there are children around.

In short, the two of you can't be together, and it's best not to be seen by others.

Zhou Qian'an came. He glanced at Jiang Xiaohong and Xu Xiaoxiao. He didn't know them and didn't remember who they were. After just one glance, his eyes returned to He Jing.

"Good morning." Zhou Qian greeted and handed over the basket. "This is a yellow-bark tree that my mother found when she went into the mountains to collect firewood yesterday."

"I picked some and brought them back."

"Kumquat?" He Jing followed her line of sight and saw that the kumquats grown on wild kumquat trees were small, some were still green, and some were already ripe.

A faint fruity scent emanated from the air, and He Jing's nose twitched. "Deep in the mountains?"

"Well, there is no firewood nearby, so we can only go deeper inside." Zhou Qian'an didn't think there was any problem.

Even the pig farm is very far away and almost no one goes there.

He and Chen Fanglan had been there for several years and there had been no accidents, so naturally they wouldn't think too much about it.

"Alone?" He Jing asked again. She was a little worried. "It's too unsafe to be alone."

"I'll go with you next time." The firewood for the He family was carried back by the men, so there was no need for women.

He Jing had been into the mountains, but only to the pig farm, and it was Zhou Qian'an who took her there. She had never been to any other place.

She wanted to take a look.

"No need." Zhou Qian'an shook his head and refused, "It's okay for my mom to go, and she doesn't go very often."

"I'll go fetch firewood." Zhou Qian'an often went into the mountains with the He brothers.

"Share these among you. Next time I go into the mountains, I'll see if there's anything else." There is everything in the mountains, but it all depends on luck.

Zhou Qi'an handed the bamboo basket to He Jing, then looked at Jiang Xiaohong and Xu Xiaoxiao, "Hello, goodbye."

Jiang Xiaomi and Xu Xiaoxiao: "..."

He Jing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "See you later."

"Okay, you can come to me if you have anything later." Zhou Qian wanted to stay longer, but seeing that there were other people there, he could only go back reluctantly.
