Quick Transmigration: The Leisurely and Sweet Life of a Support
Chapter 24 Beginner World, Auxiliary System 24
Guo Ling rummaged through the ingredients on the ground. These meats were things that couldn't be bought in the town. The cattle in the village weren't something you could slaughter for the New Year. She had just said that Chong Li was living a life of luxury in the capital, and it turned out that Chong Li had brought them here!
Now that she's outside and has seen people, the hurt she feels is even greater!
It's only been a year since I last saw her, and Chongli has grown more and more beautiful. The first time I saw her, she was shy and timid, but now she is even more radiant and poised.
Guo Ling twitched her lips, thinking it must be because Chong Li was dressed well; the red jacket looked especially beautiful on her, making her fair skin and beautiful features appear even more striking.
In the blink of an eye, Chongli was surrounded by people, marveling at her transformation and envying Shen Luo for having such a beautiful partner.
After some laughter and joking around, Chong Li and Shen Luo also helped prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
Shen Luo went to the kitchen and picked up the ingredients that Chong Li had brought, then frowned; they were too heavy.
As soon as he looked up at her, Chong Li immediately put on a charming act, "It's the New Year, so I only brought you this one bottle of wine. Let's all have some fun. Once it's gone, it's gone."
"There's wine too?!" Shen Luo looked at the bag he hadn't mentioned.
A heavy plow is just...heh...oh...didn't you see it?
Shen Luo could only rub her head and sigh…
Chongli could only chuckle awkwardly, "This is the last time..."
After two years of living in the countryside, all the educated youth had become much more nimble, especially when they saw the good wine and food that Chong Li brought, they cooked even more enthusiastically.
Shen Luo took the wine to the table outside, then came back, snatched the knife from Chong Li's hand, and skillfully began to cut the meat.
Seeing that his knife had been taken away, Chongli didn't say anything, took out the seasonings from the bag, and began to marinate the meat.
As Shen Luo chopped the meat, he secretly glanced at the well-behaved girl beside him. She was beautiful in every way, and even her hands, which were marinating the meat, seemed adorable to him.
Seeing the two of them exchanging glances, Guo Ling couldn't help but want to say something sarcastic.
“Chongli, life in the capital is so much better than in Qiaojia Village. I really envy you. You can live a good life in the capital without doing anything.” Guo Ling chose the easiest job, boiling dumplings, and was stirring the large iron ladle in front of the stove.
"That's right, Chong Li. You don't know, ever since you left, some people have been like they've been soaking in a vinegar jar. They're radiating sourness all year round. When we eat dumplings later, she can just enjoy her own sourness, don't waste the vinegar." Feng Juan wasn't going to put up with her. She knew all along that Guo Ling wouldn't have anything good to say, since she'd always been by Chong Li's side.
Feng Juan was in top form at this moment. In the year or so she had been working as the village accountant, she had learned a lot of witty and sarcastic remarks from the rural women. If she wasn't afraid of scaring Chong Li, she would have rolled up her sleeves and gotten into action long ago.
The village accountant has to deal with all sorts of shameless aunties, and Guo Ling's level is simply not enough to handle them.
When Guo Ling heard Feng Juan's voice, she knew something was wrong. She was fine with Ding Qian and Shen Luo, but Feng Juan was a tough nut to crack. She had heard that in the next village, Feng Juan would get into a fight with a group of country bumpkins at the drop of a hat, and she dared to criticize anyone to their face.
Guo Ling glanced at Feng Juan. The girl had become much stronger. She wondered if it was from training with those rural women. Watching Feng Juan chop bones with a large knife, making a loud clanging sound, Guo Ling trembled.
In a fit of anger, Guo Ling completely forgot that her ancestor was also there, and immediately fell silent.
Feng Juan was too lazy to pay attention to her. It was a good holiday, and Chong Li should be happy. She would deal with her next time when Chong Li was not around!
"Chongli, ignore her, she's got a knack for sauerkraut." Feng Juan continued chopping, her smooth movements intimidating Li Hai, who was trying to help her.
Chong Li continued marinating the meat with a smile on his face. Guo Ling, although a bit petty, wears her heart on her sleeve. She dares to speak sarcastically to your face, and doesn't seem very smart.
The atmosphere remained lively, and everyone was delighted as they watched the dishes being served one by one.
Especially the stir-fried meat that has been heavily marinated, it tastes really good.
Once all the dishes were on the table, the girls poured the wine, and everyone drank the first cup together.
"Happy New Year!!!"
Everyone except Guo Ling was very happy and kept talking to Chong Li.
"I never expected you to come! I haven't had beef in ages!" The male educated youths didn't stand on ceremony and started eating with their chopsticks. "So fragrant and delicious!"
"Shen Luo is so lucky! Chong Li came all this way to spend the New Year with you!"
"Zhong Li, you're getting more and more beautiful!" Li Hai praised her generously.
Chongli smiled sheepishly and began exchanging pleasantries with everyone.
Seeing Shen Luo put food into Chong Li's bowl, everyone felt like they were being fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"I've said 'I'm envious' so many times..." Feng Juan poured more wine for everyone. "I don't know when I'll be able to go back to the city. I miss my parents."
The crowd fell silent for a moment. Many of the educated youth had come to the countryside to work and study with great enthusiasm, but time could erode their will.
Working in the fields day after day, I'm fortunate to have a few like-minded friends. If I were alone, I would have given up long ago.
Especially seeing Chongli now, she has only been gone for a year, but she looks even more charming now, with skin as white as snow, and her whole person exudes the temperament of a young lady.
When they first came here, they were all fair-skinned and beautiful young masters and ladies. However, now that they are sitting together, the difference is too obvious. How can they, exposed to the elements, compare with the pampered young ladies?
Feng Juan stared at Chong Li's hands. "Chong Li, your hands are so beautiful. The cup you're holding looks more expensive than the one in mine! Even though they're the same size!"
Chong Li was amused by her. After a year apart, Feng Juan's personality hadn't changed at all. "Want to go back to the city?"
Feng Juan nodded, and everyone else sighed; who wouldn't want that?
"Then you should borrow more books from Shen Luo. Uncle Shen works at the Education Bureau now, and the resumption of the college entrance examination is already on the agenda."
Upon hearing Chong Li's words, everyone stopped what they were doing, their eyes gleaming.
Feng Juan was stunned. "The resumption of the college entrance examination means I can go back to the city?"
Chongli nodded. "As long as you get into university and have a student status, you can go back to the city."
Ding Qian was extremely excited. She had always been a good student, and if the college entrance examination were to be reinstated, it wouldn't be impossible for her to get into university.
Feng Juan excitedly grabbed Ding Qian's hand, "Qian!!! I will definitely study hard after the New Year, and we'll go borrow books from Shen Luo!! You must teach me the questions I don't know!"
Ding Qian agreed several times, and the people around her started discussing enthusiastically, "Then, we'll all discuss it together and improve together!"
Feng Juan scratched her head. "I haven't studied since I came to Qiaojia Village. I've almost forgotten everything I learned before. I need to review properly! Shen Luo, you can't keep anything from me, you know? If you dare to hide anything, I'll tell Chong Li."
Everyone was delighted. The educated youth all asked Shen Luo to help them organize review materials. With everyone contributing, they might actually be able to send a group of people back.
