Following her parents' demotion, she married a soldier and became a relative of the chief of th

Xu Nuannuan also saw them, but she didn't go over and continued to pretend not to know them.

Jiang Ye, however, saw them tying up firewood with ropes, and quickly walked over and said, "Uncle and aunt, we've pulled the cart up here. You guys put the firewood on it and I'll pull it down for you."

Liu Cuiying immediately agreed, as she didn't want to carry firewood.

She looked at Jiang Ye. She heard Guan Yurong say that the dead girl found a partner here, and it should be this young man.

He looks like a handsome man, but bah, he looks like a dog, just a landlord's son, who will never see the light of day in his life.

Xu Zhenqing said politely to Jiang Ye, "We have the strength, so we should carry it down ourselves. Putting it in your car will only take up space."

"It's okay, uncle. We have all day to collect firewood today. It won't delay anything."

Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun smiled and said, "Since you are helping us pull firewood, then we will help you collect firewood. Don't refuse, otherwise we won't need you anymore."

Jiang Ye accepted their kindness and said, "Okay then."

Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun put away the firewood they had bundled and went to help the Jiang family collect firewood. Mo Wuwei also came to help. Only Liu Cuiying was resting nearby, but no one said anything to her.

Mei Xiangcao quickly started talking to Fang Suyun Zhenqing. Mei Xiangcao gradually felt sweat on Nuannuan's forehead, so she quickly asked her to sit down and rest.

"Nuannuan, you don't have to pick it up, we can do it."

"Auntie, it's okay, I'm not tired."

"Look, you're sweating."

"Isn't it normal to sweat a little while working? Auntie, you sweat more than me."

Only then did Mei Xiangcao realize that she was too concerned about her daughter-in-law.

She smiled and said to Fang Suyun and Xu Zhenqing, "This is my daughter-in-law. She is beautiful and capable. It is a blessing for our Ah Ye to have found such a partner."

"Object?"

This sentence stunned Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun.

Their daughter has a boyfriend, but when did she start dating? They don’t even know.

However, they had no objection since the other party was Jiang Ye. However, they were a little depressed that their daughter did not inform them.

Xu Nuannuan heard Mei Xiangcao reveal her relationship with Jiang Ye's boyfriend. Since her parents already knew about it, there was no need to hide it anymore.

She had originally planned to tell them, she knew his parents would agree.

She winked at Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun, confirming Mei Xiangcao's statement.

Fang Suyun and Xu Zhenqing were still in shock for a while. It was not that they could not accept Jiang Ye, but their daughter suddenly had a boyfriend, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

Seeing that they were stunned, Mei Xiangcao waved her hand in front of their eyes.

"What's wrong with you two? Do you also think that my daughter-in-law and my son are a perfect match? There's no one in the world who is more compatible than them."

Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun both smiled and said yes.

The two of them deliberately went to a farther place to collect firewood. Xu Nuannuan took the opportunity to walk up to them and report to them.

"Dad, Mom, Jiang Ye and I have been together for a while now. I didn't tell you at first because I was afraid we wouldn't be together."

Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun were both smiling and had no intention of blaming her at all.

Xu Zhenqing: "It's okay. You know we both like Comrade Xiao Jiang very much. Mom and Dad are happy for you."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel sad that his little cotton-padded jacket was about to become someone else's.

He couldn't help shedding two tears and quickly raised his hand to wipe them away.

Fang Suyun saw this and shook her head speechlessly.

Although she was reluctant to let her daughter go, she thought it was normal for men and women to get married, so she was not as excited as Xu Zhenqing.

"Don't cry, don't let others see anything."

"Who said I was crying? There's sand in my eyes. Can't I rub them?"

Xu Nuannuan was very sad, "Dad, there's nothing between him and me anyway, so why not just forget about it."

"Ah?!" Xu Zhenqing was flattered. His daughter was willing to give up her boyfriend for him. As an old father, his heart was immediately warmed. He smiled and said, "How can that be? Even if Dad is a bit confused, he knows that girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up. Sooner or later, you will get married.

Xiao Jiang is a good boy. Dad is happy for you that you can be together. But when I heard that my little cotton-padded jacket was going to get married, I was very reluctant to let her go. It’s okay. You will still be our little cotton-padded jacket even if you get married. This will never change.

Xu Nuannuan really wanted to hug her parents and give them some warmth.

"Dad, Mom, now is not the time to talk about these things. When there is a suitable time and place, we can talk about it properly."

"well."

Mei Xiangcao saw Xu Nuannuan talking to Xu Zhengqing and Fang Suyun, so she walked over with a smile and said to Xu Zhengqing and Fang Suyun, "I saw you guys chatting happily with Nuannuan. How are you? Do you like Nuannuan too?"

Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun both smiled and nodded.

"Yes, yes, Nuannuan is a good girl and we like her very much." Fang Suyun said.

Mei Xiangcao had an expression that said, "I knew it would be like this." "My daughter-in-law is loved by everyone, and flowers bloom wherever she goes. Everyone in our village likes her very much."

Xu Nuannuan felt a little embarrassed. She seemed a little shy to be praised by her mother-in-law in front of her parents.

At this time, people from the educated youth camp also came to collect firewood. In order to prepare enough firewood, regardless of gender, everyone had to pick up and carry firewood, and Lin Ruyan was among them.

As luck would have it, they were not far from where the Jiang family and the people in the cowshed were collecting firewood, and they could see each other.

Ever since the snow began to fall, Zhang Lei has been taking good care of her. The educated youth had no cars to collect firewood, so they had to carry the firewood down the mountain by themselves.

The female educated youth carried a large bundle, while the male educated youth carried two relatively smaller bundles. Overall, they carried more than the female educated youth.

Zhang Lei was already carrying two bundles of firewood, but fearing that Luo Xuefei couldn't move, he offered to help Luo Xue carry the firewood.

Luo Xue refused: "Zhang Zhiqing, you've already memorized a lot. I can carry it myself, you don't have to worry about me."

But Zhang Lei saw that Luo Xue was really weak, so even if Luo Xue was weak, he would still help Luo Xue carry her on his back.

"Luo Zhiqing, please don't be polite with me. I'm a man and I'm strong. I can carry four bundles."

"No, no, how can I ask you to carry so much while I have nothing to do?"

"No problem, I'm willing to do it."

He looked into Luo Xue's eyes very seriously. Luo Xue also noticed his gaze and continued to shake her head.

Fu Yunqi couldn't help but be attracted to this side. He knew that Zhang Lei liked Luo Xue and he trusted Zhang Lei. He should have been relieved, but he couldn't resist the desire in his heart and glanced over here from time to time.

Seeing Luo Xue and Zhang Lei getting along, he didn't actually feel relieved. Instead, he felt heavy with some emotion, and it seemed like he had trouble breathing.

Seeing this, Chen Dalu said, "Old Fu, didn't you say you didn't like her and were afraid she'd pester you? It just so happens that she's dating Zhang Zhiqing, so you can get rid of her completely. But I see you look very unhappy."

Fu Yunqi turned his head instantly, bared his big white teeth, and smiled, "Why should I be unhappy? I'm very happy. Can't you see I'm smiling?"

"Hey, are you laughing? It's uglier than crying. Old Fu, tell me the truth. If you like her, chase her back. Don't wait until she and Zhang Lei are together. It will be too late to regret it then."

Fu Yunqi was stunned for a moment, then said firmly, "I don't like her. I don't like her at all. I get annoyed when I see her. She'd better get together with Zhang Lei as soon as possible."

Chen Dalu shook his head. He couldn't figure out what this weird Fu Yunqi was thinking. He lowered his head and continued to pick up firewood. Fu Yunqi's gaze was still uncontrollable. From time to time, he glanced at Luo Xue, observing the situation between her and Zhang Lei.

Wang Jiajia was right next to Luo Xue. She laughed and joked, "Zhang Zhiqing, are you chasing Luo Zhiqing? I wonder when we can have your wedding candy?"

Luo Xue quickly said, "That's not the case. My relationship with Zhang Zhiqing is the same as yours with him. Don't overthink it." After that, she looked at Zhang Lei and said, "Right, Zhang Zhiqing, you're not pursuing me?"

Zhang Lei was quite excited just now, but now it was as if he was poured with a bucket of cold water, and his face instantly darkened.

His expression froze for a few seconds, and he explained in an unnatural tone, "Yes, I'm just helping Luo Zhiqing like I would help any other educated youth. I'm not pursuing her, so please don't misunderstand me."

Zhang Lei's throat was a little choked, but Fu Yunqi's mood became relaxed.

However, this comfort only lasted for a moment, and he began to hate himself.

It is impossible for him and Luo Xue to be together, but he selfishly hopes that Luo Xue will not get together with someone else. He hates his contradictory mentality, but he can't do anything about it.

If it weren't for what happened in the past, he should be able to be with his beloved now. They are in love with each other and are running towards each other. He doesn't have to watch others pursue her while he can do nothing.

The educated youth all carried firewood down the mountain, and Luo Xue also carried her own firewood. She had never done such rough work before, but since she came here, she had to adapt to the life here. She tried hard to put the firewood on her shoulders and walked down the mountain step by step.

She saw Xu Nuannuan and waved to her.

"Nuan Nuan."

"Little Snow."

Seeing Luo Xueruo looking weak, Jiang Ting walked over and said to her, "Sister Luo Xue, why don't you put the firewood on our car and we'll help you pull it down."

Luo Xue rejected her suggestion. "Since I'm here as an educated youth, I have to act like one. Everyone else carries their own firewood down the mountain. I can't be treated specially, otherwise people will say I'm a hedonist."

Mainly because she still wanted to rely on her own strength and didn't want to rely on others for even such a small task as carrying firewood.

"Thank you, Tingting."

"Nothing, in that case, just be careful."

"I will."

Luo Xue left first with the firewood on her back, and Fu Yunqi followed behind her, only two or three meters away from her.

Jiang Ting turned her head and saw Fu Yunqi's concerned look towards Luo Xue, and she quickly understood something.

My heart suddenly felt like it was being cut by a knife.

It turns out that Brother Fu didn’t dislike girls, it’s just that the girl he liked was not her.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

She had difficulty breathing.

After a while, she was able to think. Since Brother Fu liked Sister Luo, why didn't he pursue her?

What exactly happened between them? Was there any misunderstanding?

While she was thinking, Fu Yunqi had already walked up to her and asked her, "Little girl, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ting raised her head, wanting to ask about him and Luo Xue, but now was not the time. She looked at the person she loved and shook her head, "No, nothing. Brother Fu, please finish collecting firewood and go down the mountain quickly. We will be leaving soon."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the cart. Fu Yunqi also continued to go down the mountain with the others.

Among these female educated youth, apart from Luo Xue, Lin Ruyan is no less fragile.

She was actually a little jealous when she saw Luo Xue having someone to help her.

After Luo Xue rejected the kindness of Zhang Lei and Jiang Ting one after another, she felt that Luo Xue was stupid, but there was not even one person here who said he would help her. If there was, he would immediately let that person take the blame.

At this time, Liu Cuiying was watching her over there. Liu Cuiying felt sorry for her and wanted to go over to help her carry firewood.

How could her granddaughter, a daughter of a wealthy family, do such rough work?

She really wanted to go over and help Lin Ruyan, but their current relationship could not be exposed, so she could only watch her granddaughter suffer.

Seeing that she was looking at Lin Ruyan again, Xu Nuannuan quickly told her parents.

"Look, the old woman has been staring at Lin Ruyan. There's something wrong with her eyes."
