Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, He Xi was riding on the dirt road on her way home. She raised her hand to block the slanting sunlight, and looked out through her fingers, at the willow leaves against the light, and at the wider sky beyond the willow leaves.

A figure appeared at the corner, and Lu Jinan was standing there with his back against a big poplar tree.

His eyes were drooping listlessly, and no one knew what he was thinking. He no longer had the domineering energy of the past.

If He Xi hadn't appeared to interrupt his thoughts, he would have been lost in thought for a long time.

He Xi got out of the car and stopped not far away to look at him, so he naturally saw He Xi as well.

Meeting his gaze, He Xi blinked and subconsciously asked him, "Why are you here?"

Lu Jinan glanced at He Xi coldly, without saying a word, stood up, got on his bicycle, and left the place first.

Looking at her leaving back, He Xi thought for a moment: "...I didn't provoke him?!"

The boss lost his temper? A person who would be unhappy if you don't spend his money or use his food coupons is really hard to please.

He Xi sighed, shook his head, and silently pedaled home at his own pace. Anyway, he could never catch up with Ba.

After Lu Jinan rode awkwardly for a distance, he turned back and didn't see He Xi. He stopped the bike unhappily and continued to wait for He Xi.

At another turn, He Xi saw Lu Jinan again. She couldn't help rolling her eyes. Was there something wrong with this guy? Instead of walking for a while and waiting for her, they should walk together.

He Xi was grateful to him for coming to pick her up, and just wanted to ease the atmosphere by saying they wanted to go home together, but the other party said something first.

"Slow down." Lu Jinan said concisely.

He Xi was stunned for a moment, then said to him, "Who asked you to wait for me? Go away. Don't act like a spoiled brat in front of me."

Lu Jinan frowned and asked He Xi, "Are you worried that you are wrong?"

He Xi hesitated for a moment, and stared at him doubtfully for two or three seconds: "Are you worried about my attitude?"

"Then what does it mean to care about you and hold you in my hands?" He began to look He Xi up and down, "I'm afraid only an iron man can hold you in my hands."

He Xi's face was filled with anger, and she repeatedly confirmed: "Do you think I'm fat? Why don't you say it's your own fault? I only weigh 80 kilograms."

Lu Jinan raised her eyebrows. She was angry even though he came back so late.

They went their separate ways in silence along the way. He Xi deliberately kept a distance from him. He knew what was going on and rode silently behind He Xi, not too far or too close, so that He Xi could just see him when he turned a corner.

After walking for a while, Lu Jinan took the initiative to talk to He Xi, and she learned about the lively scene that happened during work.

Xiao Yan had a fight with someone.

The other party was from the second branch of the He family. The old couple said a few words in favor of Xiao Yan, which made the first branch so angry that she squatted on the ground and complained, crying like a child.

The cause of the incident was that Xiao Yan couldn't tell the difference between seedlings and grass, and accidentally pulled out a lot of them. When no one was paying attention, he dug a hole with his hands and buried them back. After doing this many times, naturally someone saw it.

Somehow this matter spread among the people. People said that the educated youth who came this year were nothing, and they didn't know where they came from. They were just there to go through the motions and would be taken back by their families after some time.

The gossip made Xiao Yan feel confused as to whether to do it or not. In desperation, he simply sat down on the ground to rest. He felt that no matter what he did, he was doing it wrong. As a result, the ridges in the field were too narrow and he broke three seedlings by sitting on them.

This time it was all over. Some villagers had disliked him for a long time and were waiting to teach him a lesson, but Xiao Yan ended up handing the evidence over to the other party.

"You get angry when I say a few words to you. Look at your big butt. How many seedlings did you break while sitting on it?"

Xiao Yan hurriedly stood up and tried to save an innocent life, but the other party's sword was broken at the root. He said to the person who spoke awkwardly: "Sorry, I didn't see it."

The man snorted coldly: "Didn't you see it? You've been pulling out seedlings for the whole morning and you still say you didn't see it. Who are you trying to fool?"

Someone started to murmur.

"Yes, you are not here to support rural construction, you are here to cause damage."

"Yes, that's right. I just got here and I'm already having an affair with a lesbian."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan got angry. He pointed at the other person and said, "I admit that I am not good at farming, but regarding the issue of having affairs with men and women, please be careful and show me the evidence."

Many people working nearby stood up to watch the excitement, and some people started to make a noise: "That day at the door of He Ji's house, many of us saw you chatting and laughing with that female educated youth. Is this true?"

"I don't think that female educated youth is a good person. She only likes the guy because he has a lot of money. She has refused many people pursuing her before. Why did she choose to talk to you?"

The second son of the He family's eldest branch was the one who snorted coldly just now. He liked the female educated youth, but the other party just didn't like him. Suddenly, when he heard the person he liked being talked about behind people's backs, how could he tolerate it? He just punched her.

The mother is not worried when her son fights, because she has confidence in her son.

At the same time, the eldest wife had long disliked the educated youth, and finally she could use this incident to teach her a lesson. She slapped her and said, "Li Zhi, I have long disliked you. You eat my eggs and don't date my son, but you turn around and play with others. You are really good."

The slap was not light. Li Zhi started crying. She covered her face and said, "It was your son who was pestering me. I said I didn't want to eat the egg, but he forced it on me. Many people present saw it."

"Why are you crying? Are you feeling wronged? Just tell me whether you ate the eggs or not, but you refused when my son did the work for you?"

The nosy aunt is really a spendthrift, she dares to say anything: "That's right, she's a whore again, and she has a chastity archway."

Three or five female educated youth came over to speak for Li Zhi: "Aunts, your words are too harsh. Instead of criticizing Li Zhi, you should discipline your son. He is just as ignorant as you are."

The eldest wife suddenly grabbed the collar of the female educated youth who was talking and pulled her forward, pulled her in front of her, and began to slap her. The crisp "slap, slap" sounds attracted groups of onlookers.

The newly appointed village chief and party secretary rushed to both sides to stop the dispute. When they saw the scenes, their eyebrows could not stop twitching.

The boys on the other side were fighting and knocking down a field of seedlings. Lu Jinan heard the news and rushed over just as people from the village arrived.

In the end, both sides were punished at the same time, and the cost of the destroyed seedlings was shared equally by both of them.

The boys were fine, but the two female educated youth were pitiful. Their faces were swollen and they were not in a good mental state. They insisted on asking the eldest wife for compensation, which meant just paying money to settle the matter.

Only then did He Xi look directly at Lu Jinan, an 18-year-old boy with a clean face and no visible injuries on his body. It seemed that he was fine.

Lu Jinan glanced at her indifferently and asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"

He Xi blinked and hummed for a long time: "How is Xiao Yan? Is he seriously injured?"

Lu Jinan: "..."

Lu Jinan narrowed his eyes and got a little angry: "Why don't you ask me how I am?"

He Xi: "I guess nothing's wrong."

"Is it over?" Lu Jinan gritted his teeth in anger: "I was worried about your safety and took you home. I was worried that it would be inconvenient for you to travel and bought you a car."

He Xi was unable to refute for a moment, and felt very wronged. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll convert the bicycle into money and give it to you."

Lu Jinan choked: "Who wants your money? The money of Lu family men is naturally spent on their women. Can't you care about me more..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, but He Xi still heard it. She seriously doubted her ears.

But after thinking about it carefully, He Xi felt that his request was reasonable. It is reasonable for someone who gives you money and tickets to ask you to care about him.

The more she thought about it, the cuter she found Lu Jinan. She reached out and touched Lu Jinan's head, telling him, "If you want to show your affection, just say so."

Lu Jinan directly slapped He Xi's hand away, his ears slightly red: "Who needs your care."

"You don't need it, forget it. I was planning to knit you a sweater, but you said you were tired of eating white flour, so I bought you refined rice..."

He Xi deliberately ignored him and talked to herself. Suddenly, she felt her left hand being lifted up and slowly placed on his head.

He Xi naturally stroked his fur and secretly checked his undisguised arrogant expression.

He Xi chuckled and said, "Boss, next time if you need anything, please tell me directly. I am stupid."

"I see it."

He Xi showed a standard fake smile: "Xie Bazong doesn't mind."

Lu Jinan curled his lips in satisfaction: "The service needs to be improved."

He Xi placed her hand on top of his head and grabbed his hair: "You're still excited, right?"

Lu Jinan grabbed her hand, stroked her hair lovingly, and said solemnly: "You are not stupid, you are foolish."

Then Lu Jinan took a big step onto the bike, put his feet on the bike and rode in front, while He Xi tried to catch up. He would say from time to time: "Be nice to me, my good brother's money is yours, and my life is not useless either."

His Meng Lang had already consumed He Xi's limited energy, and with only a little tolerance left, her expression gradually became "distorted".
