Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 341 Reject Zhang Ming

"Because it's easier to deny him." Xue Li smiled bitterly.

Jiang Yu just glanced at her and continued eating.

Xue Li started to grind his teeth again, and the crumbs of the bald pancake fell all over the table.

After a long time, Xue Li finally stopped his childish behavior and started gossiping about the love story of Jiang Yu and Yi Chi.

"It's nothing. Yi Chi and I have our own problems to deal with right now. Let's just let things take their course." Jiang Yu answered frankly.

Her relationship with Yi Chi was indeed just one step away from success, but Jiang Yu hoped that this state could be maintained for a while longer. Not only was the age of this body too young and it was too early to say anything, but also because their future was still unknown. It would be best to wait until both parties were more stable before saying anything.

Xue Li pouted, "Okay, let it be." Time will tell me whether Chen Jinghan is worthy of trust, or whether we will just pass by each other from now on and cut off contact in the future. Everything is possible. For now, let's just be friends. Xue Li also felt that it was time for him to stop those childish behaviors.

She cleaned up the crumbs on the table somewhat embarrassedly, then supported her chin with both hands and watched Jiang Yu eat rice in big mouthfuls. She thought to herself that if Yu'er was born in the future, with her appetite, she could become a big eater anchor and become rich.

Jiang Yu didn't feel embarrassed or anything. He looked up at her and saw that she didn't say anything and her eyes were staring blankly. She might be thinking about something again, so he just ate by himself and ignored her.

After dinner, the temperature in the room had risen. This is an obvious advantage of a small room. Because of the small space, the kang heats up quickly.

I could hear people walking around outside, perhaps they were the new educated youth solving their dinner problem.

There are more and more people here now, but there is only one stove in the front yard. If everyone doesn’t eat together and takes turns cooking, it will take a lot of time.

This question was raised the next day.

Because there was a stove in the room, He Chongwen and his roommates chose to cook separately.

Wu Xiaoxiao did not get along well with the other two new female educated youth. She looked at Zhang Ming, who had dark circles under his eyes, and wanted to team up with him.

But maybe Zhang Ming didn’t sleep well the night before, so he didn’t want to take advantage of someone so openly, and just said directly that he hoped to live with the old educated youth.

"I can't cook, but I can chop wood, fetch water and grow vegetables. Brother Zhao, how about you take me with you?" Zhang Ming didn't sleep the whole night, staying in a room that could only use a brazier for warmth. All kinds of emotions were surging in his heart, and he was so angry that his teeth were itching. But in the end, he faced the reality and lowered his head to try to save his impression in the minds of Zhao Chunjiang and others.

Zhao Chunjiang wanted to refuse, but he volunteered to take over the job of the person in charge. It would not be nice to say that he would ignore the newcomers at this time.

Liu Qiang and the others were not so easy to talk to. Huang Ranbo sneered because of his bad attitude towards He Yuanchao yesterday, "I think we should not eat from the same pot with you. Otherwise, if you say that your rations are low, we will also be blamed for it. We can't afford to offend you."

Zhang Ming's face turned red. He looked at the male educated youth with similar attitudes. The anger in his heart burst out and was about to explode.

Wu Xiaoxiao was so anxious when she saw his expression that she quickly pulled Zhang Ming's sleeve and said, "Zhang Ming, why don't you eat with me? Sister He and I are going to rent the stove in the alley from the old educated youth, and we will..."

"Wu Xiaoxiao!" He Yuanchao shouted, frowning. She looked at her speechlessly. What the hell are you doing? Shouldn't you ask for my opinion before you are kind? Besides, they haven't rented the stove from Wu Aiqing and the others yet. It shouldn't be a big problem for the two of them, but with Zhang Ming, it's hard to believe they would care about you!

Wu Xiaoxiao shuddered and was stunned for a moment by the yelling. She looked at He Yuanchao blankly, then immediately understood what he was thinking, and her face suddenly turned red.

The two new educated youths both had red faces and stood in the corner of the kitchen, one was angry and the other was embarrassed.

He Yuanchao rolled her eyes speechlessly, then turned around and walked away. Huang Ranbo saw that she was furious, so he quickly took a steamed bun from the pot and prepared to chase her out. Before leaving, he said to Liu Qiang, "Brother Liu, please save some food for me."

"I understand. Go ahead." Liu Qiang nodded.

Fang Qianqian and Chen Xiaohua smiled at each other. They didn't expect that in their lifetime they would see someone in the educated youth center who was willing to accept He Yuanchao, who had a explosive temper. It was great.

Zhang Ming looked at the troubled Zhao Chunjiang, then looked at Wu Xiaoxiao who seemed to be on the same side with him, and clenched his fists, "Brother Zhao, this... I can do it myself. It's this stove..."

"Then you will have to line up at the end, and you may not be able to wait until the work starts later." Zhao Chunjiang wanted to say that you should just spend your own money to build a stove, but then he thought of yesterday's farce, and vaguely felt that the male educated youth might be short of money, otherwise he wouldn't have made such an ugly scene.

It turns out that money is the courage of a hero. The more you look at him, the more you feel that he is guilty. His loud voice is just bluffing, and his nonsense is just to preserve his little face.

It's not that Zhang Ming hasn't thought about this problem, but what else can he do? He lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at Wu Xiaoxiao beside him. Maybe he could ask this silly girl to give him money to help him build a new stove and kang?

Zhang Ming carefully considered in his mind how to speak in order to achieve his goal. He pursed his lips, pondered for a long time, and said, "Xiaoxiao, if the two of us are going to eat together, then you have to wait with me until everyone has finished using the kitchen before..."

Wu Xiaoxiao was already feeling a little guilty for her impulsive words, and her attention was not on Zhang Ming at the moment. She only vaguely heard him calling her, and she casually said, "Oh, it's okay."

Zhang Ming frowned and growled in a low voice, "Wu Xiaoxiao! Did you listen to me carefully?" After that, he pulled away his sleeve and walked out of the kitchen angrily.

Others didn't understand why he suddenly got angry when he was fine. Didn't they tell him that he was fine? Even a young girl wouldn't mind waiting for a while, so why did a man get angry for no reason?

Among them, only Chen Xiaohua could roughly understand Zhang Ming's thoughts, but he couldn't fully understand them. However, everyone agreed that Wu Xiaoxiao was indeed quite stupid.
