Chapter 37 The Wolf Cub of the Landlord's House 11

After school, Lingjiu and Lucheng returned to the educated youth site. The other educated youth hadn't finished their work yet. Together, they headed to Jiangxun's home to check on the progress. Upon arriving, they saw the villagers meticulously checking the materials. Their meticulous demeanor spoke volumes about their dedication to the work.

Lingjiu specifically asked the team leader to find a village auntie who could cook communal meals to prepare lunch for the workers. The team leader was very efficient and had already found someone, and they could officially start working from tomorrow.

By the time Lingjiu and Lu Cheng returned from Jiang's house, Jiang Xun had already finished work. He had even built a simple stove, ready to cook. Jiang Xun knew Lingjiu definitely wouldn't eat with the educated youth. He felt certain, as if he knew Lingjiu's habits like the back of his hand.

It must be said that Jiang Xun and Lu Cheng have become more and more discerning lately. Ling Jiu was deeply pleased with this and, besides being very satisfied, even gave them a few books for them to study. Jiang Xun stared at the book in his hand, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

At this time, Lu Cheng quietly walked up to him and whispered in his ear: "Sister Jiu probably wants you to go with us."

After hearing this, Jiang Xun's fingers unconsciously tightened around the corner of the book. He slowly walked over to Lingjiu, the afterglow of the setting sun gently casting long shadows on their faces. Jiang Xun raised his head slightly, staring at Lingjiu, and asked softly, "Does your words 'I'm yours' still count?"

Lingjiu's eyes curved downwards, and there seemed to be a bright light in them. She smiled slightly and responded, "The betrothal gifts have been given, do you still want to go back?"

Jiang Xun's lips curled up slightly, and a soft and tender look appeared between his eyebrows. He said seriously, "What's given to you is yours, and I will study hard." His words were full of determination and resolve.

Next, Lu Cheng had another task, which was to help Jiang Xun with his studies.

Jiang Xun hadn't touched a book for a long time, so it was a little difficult for him to learn at the beginning. Fortunately, he was smart and worked hard enough, so he was able to complete the questions assigned by Lu Cheng independently in no time.

During this period, Wang Ya and two others also joined in to study. Seeing this, Hu Li thought that this was a good opportunity to get closer to Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng was not stupid either. Hu Li had met him by chance several times and he already knew what Hu Li meant, so he decisively refused her to join.

The appearance of Lingjiu made Li Mo feel a sense of crisis, and he came to see Jiang Xun more and more frequently.

One day, Jiang Xun had just finished work, Lingjiu and Lu Cheng went to Jiang's house to see the progress, and Li Mo came to the educated youth site again.

Li Mo held the pancake she had carefully baked tightly in her hand, with a shy blush on her face. She lowered her eyes slightly, then slowly raised her head and said in a soft voice: "Jiang Xun, this is a pancake I baked myself, it's still hot. You just got off work and must be starving, so I'll give it to you." Her eyes were full of expectation, as if she was waiting for Jiang Xun's response.

Jiang Xun saw through her thoughts at a glance. He frowned slightly, took a step back, his face darkened, and said in a firm tone: "Don't look for me again! I don't want the person I like to misunderstand."

Li Mo looked up bewilderedly, her eyes instantly filled with tears, swirling in her sockets, as if they would fall at any moment. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "What did you say? The person you like? Is it Lingjiu? She will leave, she will abandon you in the future." Her tone was a little agitated, as if she couldn't accept this fact.

Jiang Xun didn't want to hear anyone say anything bad about Ling Jiu. His face darkened even more, and he said coldly, "Get lost."

A hint of hurt flashed across Li Mo's eyes, but she quickly regained her pitiful expression and continued, "Jiang Xun, you can't like her! The villagers will say you're a gigolo and will talk about you behind your back."

Jiang Xun nodded slightly. Li Mo was delighted and was about to continue persuading him, but he heard Jiang Xun say seriously, "I'm just a gigolo." There was no shame in his eyes, but rather determination and calmness.

A crisp laugh echoed through the air. Hearing the sound, Li Mo instinctively turned around and saw Ling Jiu and Lu Cheng, both beaming. Ling Jiu's face was filled with a bright smile. She waved her hand and said in a relaxed tone, "I couldn't help it. Keep going." She looked as if she had just witnessed a hilarious farce.

Jiang Xun ignored Li Mo, his eyes fixed on Lingjiu, as if everything around him had ceased to exist. He took a step forward, walking towards Lingjiu, his steps firm and eager. He bent down, his eyes fixed only on Lingjiu, and whispered, "Are you hungry? I haven't cooked yet, I'll go make it now." His voice was gentle and full of concern, as if Lingjiu was the most important person in his life.

Lingjiu grabbed his arm without hesitation, staring at Li Mo provocatively, and declared, "He's mine!" Her tone was filled with dominance and possessiveness. Jiang Xun felt an indescribable joy surge in his heart as Lingjiu held his arm. She had declared him hers, and this made him incredibly happy. Truly, she loved him so much. To him, these were the most beautiful words in the world.

Li Mo stood there, her face pale. She watched the intimate interaction between Lingjiu and Jiang Xun and felt too embarrassed to stay any longer. She no longer cared about the Jiang family's treasures; she just wanted to escape this embarrassing place. She left as if running for her life, her steps hurried and frantic.

After this little episode, there was a long period of peaceful days. The courtyard was completed, and Lingjiu and the others had prepared their luggage and were ready to move in at any time.

The educated youth at the educated youth site were also very self-aware. They knew that they could not afford to offend Lingjiu, so they never caused any trouble and they always got along without interfering with each other.

On the day of the move, after lunch, the villagers all came to help spontaneously. Some came to help for a little benefit, while others just wanted to lend a hand. With everyone's help, the move went very quickly.

It was the first time for many people to see the renovated courtyard. When Lingjiu opened the door, he heard bursts of exclamations.

The courtyard's simple yet comfortable amenities, featuring stone tables, stone benches, and rattan rocking chairs, create a warm, pastoral atmosphere. Here, you can listen to the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, sip a pot of fragrant tea, enjoy the cool breeze under the pavilion, and spend a leisurely and relaxing time with a few friends.

The courtyard is not big, but it is enough to accommodate all the leisure and comfort.

It was also the first time that Jiang Xun saw the renovated courtyard. The scene before him seemed to bring him back to the past.

Seeing that he had been standing there motionless, Lu Cheng knew that he must be thinking about his family. He leaned his arm on his shoulder and whispered, "Jiang Xun, why don't you go in and see Sister Jiu and your new home."

Jiang Xun regained his consciousness and slowly looked at Lingjiu in front of him. Yes, he was no longer alone now. He strode towards Lingjiu.
