Xie Ying'an had nothing to say.

There is no need to do anything in the threshing ground in the afternoon. Wait until the sun sets in the evening to harvest the rice.

Then let someone else look at it.

Those who need to keep watch at night are basically adult men in the village.

Women don’t make arrangements.

But there used to be women who kept watch at night, but a few bad things happened in the past few years, and everyone was worried about their own women keeping watch at night, so after discussion, they unanimously decided to let men do it.

Xie Ying'an followed He Jing back. The country road was simple and narrow, with weeds on both sides, but there were also wild flowers, small ones, and even if they were stepped on, they were still blooming, bright and dazzling.

The sun has set.

There were swarms of mosquitoes flying over the rice fields, and countless bats flying over and over.

He Jing said, "This is a bat eating a mosquito."

"In the past, during famines, everyone ate bats," He Jing added, "but they tasted just average, not good."

Xie Ying'an looked at the bats flying in the sky. They were black and scary to look at. He didn't know how he could eat them.

After shaking his head repeatedly, Xie Ying'an looked at He Jing, then quietly looked back and forth, and after making sure that there was no one he knew, he asked in a low voice, "Jingjing, are you sure it's Zhou Qian'an?"

"Hmm?" He Jing tilted her head, a little confused, "It's him."

"What's wrong?" He Jing was puzzled. "What's wrong with him?"

"By the way, it's best not to eat bats. They carry too many bacteria." He Jing frowned.

Xie Yingan didn't know how the topic came back, and replied weakly, "I won't eat it."

She would rather starve than eat another bite of that kind of stuff.

He Jing nodded, "Yeah."

“……”Xie Ying’an was silent for a moment.

After walking for a while, she looked at He Jing's face. The corners of her mouth were curved, so she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

"This time, I have something else I want to tell you." Xie Ying'an said.

He Jing hummed and nodded, "What's the matter?"

"I'm getting married." said Xie Ying'an.

He Jing stopped and looked at her straight.

Xie Ying'an took two steps forward before realizing that He Jing hadn't caught up with him. He turned around and looked back, forcing himself to raise the corners of his mouth with a bleak smile, "Are you surprised?"

"Yeah." He Jing came up.

The distance of two steps seemed like thousands of years.

He Jing still remembers that Xie Ying'an didn't get married so early.

Why are you getting married now?

Could it be that my rebirth changed the fate of others?

He Jing clenched her hands slightly. Is it good or bad for Xie Ying'an to get married early?

Or in other words, is he still the husband from previous life?

In her previous life, after He Jing got married, she was looked after by an old man and gradually reduced her contact with Xie Ying'an and the others.

But He Jing knew that Xie Ying'an lived a happy life after marriage.

"Who is it?" He Jing was a little nervous.

If it's still the same person, then not much has changed.

If it was someone else...

He Jing bit her lip and waited for Xie Ying'an's answer.

"It's Wang Qiang." Xie Ying'an shrugged, "I met him through a blind date."

"He's a year younger than me, but he looks okay."

Wang Qiang?

He Jing frowned. She had never heard of this name before. "What does your family do?"

At this moment, it was He Jing's turn to start worrying, "Have you met his family?"

"How about it?"

Xie Yingan shook his head and waved his hands, "He has two older sisters at home, and he is the youngest."

“And then I didn’t finish junior high school.”

Didn’t finish junior high school?

He Jing frowned as she listened, "Why?"

"If you can't continue studying, just go out and work." Xie Ying'an didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

For a family like hers, it is already very lucky for a child to finish junior high school.

He Jing pursed her lips and frowned.

Xie Ying'an saw this and laughed, "Don't be like that. Didn't Zhou Qi'an also not have any education?"

"But this is different." He Jing denied it without even thinking, "I know very well what kind of person Zhou Qian is."

"I also know what kind of person Wang Qiang is," Xie Ying'an said. "He is working in the factory now."

"It's a machinery factory, owned by the government." Xie Ying'an added, "If I marry him, I can arrange for my family."

"I can also eat public food in the future."

He Jing was silent.

"You... don't plan to continue studying?" He Jing lowered her eyes. In more than half a year, the college entrance examination would be resumed.

He Jing hopes that all her friends can continue to go to school and take the college entrance examination.

This future is different.

Xie Ying'an shook his head, "Studying is useless."

"I can earn several yuan a month now," Xie Ying'an said. "If I knew I could make so much money, I might not have finished junior high school."

Without waiting for He Jing to speak, Xie Ying'an said, "Do you know?"

"Wang Qiang didn't even finish middle school, but now he has over a hundred dollars in savings." Xie Ying'an's eyes showed envy, "If I had also gone out to work, I might have even more."

"Okay." He Jing interrupted her fantasy.

Hearing her cold and tough words, Xie Ying'an was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said in a somewhat incomprehensible way, "Jingjing, do you want to be like Yaoyao?"

"What do you mean?" He Jing didn't understand.

Xie Yingan retracted his gaze, "Yaoyao thinks I think it's too simple."

"I have finished junior high school, so at least I have a junior high school diploma, so it won't be too difficult to find a job."

"But if you don't even finish junior high school, even if you can take over your parents' job, you will still be fired if you don't do it well." Xie Ying'an snorted and his face turned cold.

"My mother said that she simply didn't want to see me find such a good man and have a stable job in the future."

He Jing stared at her, speechless for a long time.

He Jing knew that Xie Ying'an agreed with what her mother said from the bottom of her heart.

"Jingjing, are you the same as Yaoyao?" Xie Ying'an looked up.

At this moment, the last ray of afterglow disappeared.

Night fell suddenly.

The gentle breeze brought a hint of coolness without the heat of the day.

Just like He Jing's heart which suddenly turned cold.

"Can't you reconsider it?" He Jing clenched her fists. "Looking at the current situation, maybe in another year or two..."

Before she finished her words, Xie Yingan interrupted, "He Jing."

"I don't have an older brother or a younger brother." Xie Ying'an took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "My parents are waiting for me to bring honor to the family."

"If I get married, I'll have a stable job."

"When they go out in the future, they will be able to hold their heads high."

"No more people will tell you that this is a family that can't give birth to a son, and daughters are useless."

"I've already graduated from middle school, but I can't even hold down a job as a salesperson. I can only go to the kitchen to wash dishes."

“It’s better not to read it.”

“It’s a waste of money.”

He Jing's face turned pale when she heard this, and she felt powerless at the same time.
