Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 360 Laughter Chapter

"Okay then, I'll give you some to test the waters later." Xue Liba wanted another sales channel.

Chen Jinghan wanted to ask Xue Li, are those people she found reliable? But when she thought about it, asking this question would mean that she didn't trust those people, and didn't trust Xue Li to handle everything. If Xue Li still held a grudge against him, it would even make the situation worse. She felt that he was doubting her ability, whether she had any sense...

Chen Jinghan didn't dare to ask. He knew that he had messed up. Otherwise, Xue Li wouldn't have said the words of breaking up so firmly. But he didn't know how to explain it to her. He didn't want to deny her, but...

Xiong Lijin saw his brother frowning and sitting aside without saying a word. Then Xue Li's eyes swept over him inadvertently, and the next moment he curled his lips. He had an inexplicable ominous premonition in his heart, thinking that his brother's future was becoming increasingly bleak.

Because Chen Jinghan was distracted, only Xiong Lijin was left, stubbornly sticking his butt to the stool and chatting nonsense with Xue Li.

Jiang Yu didn't walk very far today. She just went out for a walk, then found an empty hillside, took out her sewing machine, tied it tightly with a hemp rope and a bicycle, covered it with coarse cloth, then turned around and staggered back to the team.

People at the edge of the field saw Jiang Yu carrying something back. Although they were all puzzled, no one dared to ask. Even those who had been saved by Jiang Yu once did not dare to speak rashly. After all, Jiang Yu had a clear attitude and it was obvious that she did not want to have too much contact with the people in the brigade.

After watching the people leave, the villagers gathered together to chat.

However, everyone's enthusiasm for discussing Jiang Yu and his group has obviously faded. After all, they have all been in the countryside for two or three years. Although they are not very familiar with each other, they have roughly figured out each other's tempers. For example, Jiang Yu, some people in the team privately call her the crazy woman, who will climb up the roof and tear down the tiles if she disagrees with something. Who dares to provoke her?

Xue Li, the lucky female educated youth who was protected by Jiang Yu.

As for the male educated youth, generally speaking, it is indeed less likely for men to be targeted without reason by local people in unfamiliar places, unless the person is obviously vulnerable or attracts attention.

Besides, there are new things to watch now, and those elderly villagers are no longer interested.

Look at He Chongwen and Wu Xiaoxiao struggling in the fields. They are recognized as the weakest group among the educated youth. Fortunately they were assigned to the same group. The old farmer and the team leader who were responsible for teaching them are having a headache.

Aren’t these educated youth really here to destroy their fields?

Wu Xiaoxiao was too weak to even swing the hoe, so she either had to grit her teeth to lift it up or drop it, and the hoe would sink into the ground and she couldn't pull it out. The people watching didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He Chongwen was a man, albeit a weak one, but he could still use the farm tools. His use of them was frightening and quite scary. Every time he swung the sickle, it seemed as if he was about to cut himself and make him bleed.

In this case, the team leader had no choice but to let the two of them support each other and give them a piece of land at the edge to deal with it on their own.

Today's work is sowing.

He Chongwen dug the hole and Wu Xiaoxiao sowed seeds and filled it with soil.

The experienced old farmer next to them cooperated well with the others. Every time he used his hoe, a hole was dug. His companion scattered the seeds skillfully, and the ground became flat as soon as he moved his feet.

Then He Chongwen and Wu Xiaoxiao prepared to learn other people's excellent skills.

He Chongwen swung the hoe and brought it down with great force, but it went off target and almost hit Wu Xiaoxiao's foot.

Wu Xiaoxiao screamed and stared at He Chongwen with wide eyes.

He Chongwen immediately smiled awkwardly and raised the hoe again. This time he didn't lift it too high, so at least it didn't deviate too much when it fell.

Wu Xiaoxiao took two breaths, then scattered the seeds and imitated the aunt next to her to push the soil with her feet. As a result, she stepped on the seeds and almost tripped and fell into the pit. She quickly supported herself with her hands to steady herself.

"Ahem!" Wu Xiaoxiao cleared her throat awkwardly.

"Hahahahahaha!" The aunties and uncles next to them laughed at them mercilessly.

Perhaps because they made fools of themselves every day, the two had become accustomed to other people’s laughter, so they rubbed their noses and continued their operations.

The busy morning passed quickly. The educated youth supported each other and returned to the educated youth site. They saw a sewing machine placed in the middle of the backyard.

Jiang Yu was standing in front of the sewing machine with a pen and paper, writing and drawing.

Xue Li talked to her while standing by the fragrant stove.

The educated youth were stunned for a moment, then returned to their rooms calmly.

Wu Xiaoxiao wanted to ask where the sewing machine was bought, but then she thought there was no point in asking. She couldn't possibly buy a sewing machine here. Unless she got married and settled here, it would be difficult to deal with it later.

Jiang Yu first drew the overall pattern of the sewing machine, and then began to enlarge the details of the parts.

Xue Li asked her, "Are you going to use this sewing machine yourself?"

"No." Jiang Yu shook her head. She would try it first, but tailoring clothes to the body was not part of her plan, so the sewing machine should be placed with Yi Chi.

"Oh, sometimes I wonder why I'm not a boy. Someone is so lucky." Xue Li sighed in a fake manner and looked at Jiang Yu teasingly.

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at her, "Why, you want to make clothes for me, cook for me, and hang around me?"

"What's wrong with that? Being able to hug such a thick thigh, let alone make clothes and cook, I would be happy to bring you water to wash your feet!" Xue Li raised her head slightly and spoke sincerely. If you didn't know her, you would think she was really envious of Yi Chi.

Jiang Yu smiled and shook her head, "No, you should find a man who is willing to do this for you!" She was very satisfied with Yi Chi and had no intention of changing him.

Xue Li snorted, "It's easy for you to say that. It's really hard to find a man like this. A man who cares about you wholeheartedly and is sensible and won't cause you any trouble, it's not that rare."

"It's not as good as you say." Although Jiang Yu said this, he agreed in his heart. Yi Chi was indeed very sensible and restrained, and had a very good and well-behaved personality.

Xue Li curled his lips, "Just pretend."

Jiang Yu ignored her and continued drawing.

After finishing everything, she put down the notebook and pen, picked up the sewing machine and put it back in the room. The already small room suddenly seemed even more crowded with a large sewing machine placed in it.

I'll send it to Yi Chi when he comes back, otherwise the aisle is so small that people have to walk sideways. Jiang Yu shook her head. It's not that she hadn't thought about putting it in the space, but now that it's out, it would seem weird to hide it again.
