"Comrade, go buy some buns." Yan Moli took the fifty-cent bill and walked forward again.

Niu Zhijian sat down, holding his stomach, and his bubbling voice became even deeper: "Comrade Jasmine, could you please buy me two buns?"

"Okay, wait a minute." Yan Moli hurriedly took the money and went to find Shi Hong. The baked buns were very big, filled with pork and dried tofu, and cost 20 cents each. Yan Moli ordered two. The buns were freshly baked, so she had to wait.

She spent another five cents to buy a bowl of kelp soup, filled it up for herself, and brought it to Niu Zhijian, saying softly, "Comrade Niu, drink some soup first and eat some kelp to fill your stomach."

After saying that, she blew on the soup very virtuously because she was afraid it was too hot.

Zhan Xinyue couldn't bear to watch it, so she turned around and continued drinking her soup.

At this time, their baked buns were ready. Xu Jinling brought the buns over and called to Zhan Xinyue: "Xinyue, the hot baked buns are here. They smell so good. Eat them quickly."

The two that Yan Moli had just ordered had not yet been served. She stood up and walked to Xu Jinling and said, "Aunt Xu, can you give me two first? Comrade Niu has a stomachache, let him eat first. I just ordered two and will give them to you after they are grilled."

Xu Jinling glanced at Niu Zhijian, whose face was indeed a little pale, nodded, picked up two buns, and Yan Moli reached out to take them. Xu Jinling moved her hand away and taught her, "Comrade Yan Moli, you can do good things, but you can't say bad things about other comrades to elevate yourself."

"What?" Yan Moli was confused.

"When Comrade Niu came over just now, he asked Xinyue for help first. Before she even opened her mouth, you jumped out. You are worthy of praise for taking the initiative to lend money. Being helpful is a basic quality of a soldier, but you can't belittle Xinyue and say that she is from the countryside. I am also from the countryside. As far as I know, your family is also in the production brigade. Although it is in the suburbs, it is also in the countryside strictly speaking."

"Besides, without the country people, without them working hard in the fields, where would you get food to eat?"

Yan Moli's face turned red from being scolded, especially in front of her crush. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"Apologize. Apologize to Xinyue." Xu Jinling was very disappointed. After saying so much, why didn't Yan Moli understand? You have to say sorry when you do something wrong. This is something that even kindergarten children know.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Zhan." In order to escape as soon as possible, Yan Moli lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

"Take it. Be careful next time and don't make the same mistake again." Xu Jinling handed over the bun.

"Thank you." Yan Moli didn't dare to act rude in front of the chief of staff's wife, so she walked away dejectedly with the two buns.

Yan Moli ran to Niu Zhijian, her face still red. Xu Jinling had a loud voice, and Niu Zhijian must have heard everything they had just said. She was afraid that Niu Zhijian would have a bad impression of her and think that she had a problem with her thinking, so she hesitated and handed him the buns, whispering, "Eat something first."

Niu Zhijian took it, but was not in a hurry to eat it. He moved closer to Yan Moli and whispered, "Comrade Moli, it's all my fault. I made you feel wronged."

Yan Moli's eyes lit up, "Don't you think it's my fault?"

"How could that be? You are a good person. It would be fine if they didn't help me, but they also taught you a lesson. I don't like that. I just like people like you who are kind-hearted." Niu Zhijian said with a smile.

Yan Moli was infected by his smile and felt like she was bathed in spring breeze. She had just heard Niu Zhijian say that he liked her warm heart, and her ears suddenly turned red and she lowered her head shyly.

Shi Hong put two buns on Xu Jinling's table. She saw Yan Moli took two buns from Xu Jinling, so of course she would give these two to Xu Jinling.

Zhan Xinyue took a bite of the bun and praised it repeatedly, "It's really delicious. The dried tofu and meat are very fresh."

"That's right, otherwise Shi Hong wouldn't dare to set up a stall." Xu Jinling ate the buns with a sip of soup, enjoying the meal very much.

"Aunt Xu, thank you for what happened just now." Zhan Xinyue said. She was tired and thirsty just now and was too lazy to argue with Yan Moli. She didn't expect Xu Jinling to stand up for her and ask Yan Moli to apologize.

"It's okay, Xinyue, you're just too gentle. Next time you see someone saying something bad about you, just curse back."

"Okay." Zhan Xinyue responded with a smile. She was not the kind of person who would tolerate being bullied. She usually preferred to use her hands instead of talking. But it would not be nice to start a fight just because of a few words just now.

The two finished their meal quickly and did not stay long. They each paid and prepared to buy some flower seedlings and seeds.

When Zhan Xinyue and Xu Jinling left, Yan Moli's table had not finished eating yet. Yan Moli bought a bowl of seafood porridge and a dish of braised pork from the state-owned restaurant nearby and shared them with Niu Zhijian.

Two people who had only known each other for more than ten minutes soon became somewhat affectionate with each other.

Xu Jinling rolled her eyes, and after she walked away, she started to complain to Zhan Xinyue: "This Yan Moli is really a nympho. She used to run after your man, but now she's flirting with a stranger. She's really unreserved. The more she sticks to a man, the more he thinks she's worthless and the less he knows how to cherish her. Sigh, I'm old and I don't understand the thoughts of young people. Maybe I'm behind the times."

Zhan Xinyue just smiled and didn't comment.

Huanyu Island has a subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons, a distinct rainy season, and no severe cold weather in winter, so many flowers and trees can survive.

Zhan Xinyue bought some trumpet creeper seedlings, which can be planted at the foot of the yard. When they grow up, they will cover the entire wall and bloom orange-red flowers.

There were also hydrangeas, roses, crape myrtles, camellias and chrysanthemums, and finally I bought some sunflower seeds.

Xu Jinling bought some pepper and eggplant seedlings, as well as some cabbage seeds. Planting peppers and eggplants now will allow them to harvest autumn peppers and eggplants.

After shopping, the two went home with lots of bags.

There were four or five bags hanging on the handlebars of the bicycle. Zhan Xinyue was sitting on the back seat, holding a few bags.

Xu Jinling is really strong. Even with so many extra things on her, she still rides the bicycle easily.

They soon arrived at the family compound. Zhan Xinyue said goodbye to Xu Jinling and went home carrying their bags.

First put the clothes in the bedroom, then put the flower seeds in the kitchen, waiting to plant them in the evening.

After being tired for most of the day and sweating a little, Zhan Xinyue took a shower to cool down, put the clothes she had changed and the new clothes she had bought in a basin, ready to do the laundry.

Before she could do anything, she backed off at the thought of having to draw water from the well, yawned, and went back to her room to sleep.

As he walked, he laughed at himself: "I used to do all kinds of work, but now that I have Sheng Tunan, I've been spoiled by him and I'm too lazy to wash my clothes."

But she didn't have any psychological burden. If she had to blame someone, she should blame Sheng Tunan for bullying her badly at night.
