Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Zhong Meixian told her, "No, he went out and should be back soon."

Luo Tian responded with an "Oh".

Wen Tang and Chi Yue squatted down by the well with enamel mugs in their hands. Chi Yue asked with her eyes: "Is your rival here already?"

Wen Tang: As you can see.

The two of them were brushing their teeth.

Just as Wen Tang spat out her first mouthful of saliva, she heard Luo Tian ask, "Where does Comrade Wen work?"

Wen Tang turned to look at her. "Work? Is getting married part of my job?"

With toothpaste foam on her lips, she asked with an innocent and naive look. Luo Tian thought she really didn't understand, so she explained to her, "Of course not. Marriage is just one of your lifestyle choices, not a job."

"Work should be like Comrade Gu's, or work in a factory, supply and marketing cooperative, grain and oil station, or even like me."

Wen Tang "..."

Chi Yue "..."

"Does that mean we don't earn work points by working in the fields?" Wen Tang was still innocent and naive.

But those words left Luo Tian speechless.

But she quickly added with a smile, "I saw that you and that woman looked like you had just woken up..." She stopped there, but the meaning was clear: you're not even up, so what are you talking about earning work points for?

Wen Tang quickly rinsed her toothbrush and stood up. "Other jobs allow for a few days off for weddings, but we who earn work points can't take a few days off?"

"Does earning work points in the fields not count as work?"

"Didn't Luo Zhiqing just say that earning work points counts as work?"

After Wen Tang finished speaking, Luo Tian was speechless, her lips moving for a long time, but she couldn't utter a single word.

She didn't say anything, but Chi Yue spoke up. She nudged Wen Tang's shoulder and said, "Forget it, why are you telling her this?"

"She doesn't understand?"

Luo Tian "..."

She doesn't understand?

"Ha," she laughed in exasperation.

She's a proper high school student from the city, after all!

What about these two?

Are you in junior high school yet?

How could she say she doesn't understand?

She wasn't a competitive or ambitious person, but since she was in the right, she absolutely wouldn't let others mess things up for her.

Just as she was about to speak, Gu Yanli came in from outside carrying something in his hand.

Seeing that there were strangers in the house, Gu Yanli frowned slightly.

But soon he saw Wen Tang standing by the well. Upon seeing Wen Tang, Gu Yanli's expression relaxed.

Show Wen Tang what's in his left hand.

That was the canned fruit in syrup that he had promised to buy for Wen Tang yesterday.

As for what he was holding in his right hand, it was a pheasant that was still flapping its wings.

He bought some canned food and figured Wen Tang hadn't gotten up yet, so he went for a walk in the small woods next to the brigade. Luckily, he caught a pheasant there.

Actually, he would have preferred to catch a wild rabbit.

But this thing, if it's not by chance, he can't outrun it.

It's best to set a trap.

Although Wen Tang had only been married to him for three days, she had visibly lost weight, and he thought he should give her some nourishment.

Having caught a pheasant, he hurried home. Just as he had calculated, Wen Tang had just woken up.

I never expected there would be an uninvited guest in my house.

When Luo Tian saw Gu Yanli, the anxious look on her face immediately disappeared, and she smiled generously again, "Hello, Comrade Gu, I am the educated youth you rescued from the river that day. My name is Luo Tian. I came here today specifically to thank you." As she spoke, she walked towards Gu Yanli and extended her hand.

Gu Yanli looked at her outstretched hand, then down at his own hands, and then at Luo Tian with a look that seemed to be that of someone looking at a fool.

Just then, Wen Tang walked up to him, carrying an enamel mug in one hand and taking the two cans of syrup from his hand with the other.

Then he gestured with his eyes: You can shake it now!

Gu Yanli not only didn't shake hands, but also subtly put his hand into his pocket. "It was nothing, nothing to mention, you don't need to take it to heart," he said, his voice carrying the air of an old cadre, his tone mature and sophisticated, quite different from his youthful face.

Luo Tian awkwardly withdrew her hand, rubbing it together, and told Wen Tang in an arrogant manner that Wen Tang couldn't understand, "Comrade Wen may not know that shaking hands is a social etiquette in the city."

"Just like how foreigners greet each other with a cheek kiss," she said, her arrogance impossible to conceal.

After saying that, she slapped her forehead and said, "Look at me, talking about this kind of thing with Comrade Wen. Comrade Wen, you probably haven't seen any foreign movies, have you?"

"You definitely don't know this, let me tell you..."

She was about to launch into a long lecture when Gu Yanli interrupted her with a dark face, "We're country bumpkins, we've never held a foreigner's hand, let alone seen a foreigner kissing. Comrade Luo, you're so knowledgeable, isn't it beneath you to stand in our little courtyard?"

Luo Tian "..."

She wasn't stupid; she naturally understood that Gu Yanli was telling her to get rid of him.

She paused for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly and apologized, "Maybe... my words weren't very pleasant to hear, but I definitely didn't have any bad intentions. I was just trying to educate Comrade Wen..." She opened her mouth again, "Then I'll be going now."

Seeing that things were going well, Zhong Meixian suddenly felt the atmosphere turn sour. Luo Tian was about to leave, and she had even accepted a gift from someone, so she quickly chased after her and grabbed Luo Tian's hand, saying, "Miss, stay for lunch!"

Zhong Meixian went to chase after Luo Tian. Wen Tang looked up at Gu Yanli beside her and said: "Brother, what you said was a bit rough!"

And kissing a foreigner on the lips?

However, she was deeply in love with him.

She really liked the maintenance.

Wen Tang nudged him gently with her elbow and whispered, "Since you defended me so much today, I'll allow you to come one more time tonight."

Now it was Gu Yanli's turn to be dumbfounded.

He subconsciously looked at Chi Yue a few steps away. Chi Yue was standing there with a clear and innocent look on her face, not like she had heard anything. Gu Yanli was relieved.

How embarrassing it would be if others heard this.

Once he was sure no one had heard, Gu Yanli's handsome face inevitably turned red.

Gu Yanli, blushing: Woman, your words aren't much better!

Zhong Meixian didn't know where she took Luo Tian before returning.

Anyway, they couldn't persuade Luo Tian to stay for dinner.

Upon returning, Zhong Meixian looked at her son and daughter-in-law, whose eyes were full of disapproval. "You two are the same. That young lady, Luo, is such a good child."

"They came to thank you and even brought some gifts, how can you not even offer them a meal?"

Hearing his mother packing up her things, the blush on Gu Yanli's face instantly vanished. "You took someone's things?"

Seeing that her son seemed angry, Zhong Meixian began to stammer, "She...she said she was grateful to you for saving her, I couldn't refuse..."

"Can't refuse?"

"Can things just run into the house by themselves?"

"She said thank you. I think she's a nice girl. I was the one who asked her for it." Zhong Meixian was also a little annoyed.

Seeing that the mother and son were about to start arguing, Wen Tang quickly spoke up, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, Mom didn't mean it. Mom didn't understand the situation. We'll just return these things."

"Is it Mom?"

Seeing that someone was speaking up for her, Zhong Meixian wasn't so angry anymore, muttering, "You make it sound like I'm greedy. Am I really that short-sighted?"
