Chapter 6: He’s My Big Hero

“Don’t say that, Comrade Xu was just being kind.”

Another gentle and friendly female voice sounded.

It seemed like she was speaking up for her. In reality, it confirmed that Xu Jiaojiao was helping the male educated youth with work.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Ding Xiujing’s face became even more unpleasant.

The wives and aunts working nearby also frequently cast strange glances at Xu Jiaojiao.

The most obvious was a disgusted look from outside the tea garden.

Xu Jiaojiao turned her head to see, and saw a dozen young people standing outside the tea garden.

There were both men and women.

Looking at their clothes and attire, it was clear that they were different from the people in the team.

With her memories, Xu Jiaojiao knew these people were the educated youth who had been sent down to the countryside.

And that disgusted look came from a handsome, but cold and aloof man.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

This was the man who made the original owner willingly become a lickspittle?

He was handsome, but a bit too thin, looking like he didn’t have much security.

With just one glance, Xu Jiaojiao lost interest and looked away.

She then turned to the female educated youth who was smiling warmly and said:

“It’s strange, I clearly always go to you, how come it ended up with me helping Comrade Gu?”

As soon as she finished speaking, before the two female educated youth could say anything, Gu Qingbai’s gaze became even colder.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Okay, the original owner did secretly go to Gu Qingbai once.

Ever since that time, Gu Qingbai had treated her like she was something dirty whenever he saw her.

To be honest, she didn’t blame the original owner for being so infatuated with him.

She was a girl from the team, where had she ever seen such a dashing gentleman?

What’s more, not only was he good-looking, but his temper was also good, and he always spoke in a gentle and polite manner.

A young girl’s heart was blossoming, and she directly mistook that for love.

Lost in her fantasies, she finally discovered that he had no such intentions.

In a fit of anger, she followed her mother’s wishes and married Qin Shuo.

But in the end, she realized that she still couldn’t let go of that person.

She didn’t have the guts to openly pester him, so she could only use the excuse of looking for Li Wenxiu to frequently go to the educated youth point.

Once, the original owner finally couldn’t hold back and blocked him for a confession, and even told him that she was innocent.

But Gu Qingbai not only wasn’t moved, he was as if he had seen a ghost.

From that time on, whenever there was her, Gu Qingbai wished he could stay as far away as possible.

If he couldn’t avoid her, then he would give her this extremely disgusted look.

“What you’re saying, who would believe it?” Ye Shuizhen sneered again.

Her eyes were almost glued to Gu Qingbai.

“Then tell me, when have I ever spoken to Comrade Gu?”

Xu Jiaojiao was as stubborn as a pig, she was betting that Gu Qingbai wouldn’t expose her.

Sure enough, after she finished saying this, she saw Gu Qingbai turn around and enter the tea garden with a cold face.

“Xu Jiaojiao, are you afraid to admit it?”

Ye Shuizhen hadn’t actually seen her speak to Gu Qingbai, but her intentions were too obvious, everyone in the educated youth point knew about it.

Seeing her deny it, she was almost furious.

“I didn’t do it, why should I admit it?” Xu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, not the slightest bit nervous.

Because she really didn’t do it.

At most, the original owner did it, and she was just taking the blame.

“Okay, okay, Shuizhen, just say less.”

Li Wenxiu quickly came out to smooth things over, acting like they were all good sisters.

This lotus-like appearance almost made Xu Jiaojiao unable to hold back her expression.

“Comrade Gu is so outstanding, it’s normal for someone to admire him.” Li Wenxiu added another sentence.

Now, the aunts and wives nearby looked at Xu Jiaojiao with even more strange looks.

They had also heard that Xu Jiaojiao had been going to the educated youth point to look for the male educated youth.

“Comrade Gu is outstanding, but he’s not as outstanding as my husband! My husband is a soldier who protects the country, in my heart, he’s a big hero!”

Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes were shining brightly, her face was full of admiration.

As if no one could compare to her husband.

“Ugh, Xu Jiaojiao, you’re so shameless!”

In those days, expressing feelings was very reserved.

Couples wouldn’t even dare to make intimate gestures in public.

Who was like her, so shameless? She directly praised her husband in front of everyone.

Ye Shuizhen couldn’t stand it anymore and directly spat out a word.

But Xu Jiaojiao froze.

Because just now, she actually heard the system prompt that the task was completed.

Knowing the task, she naturally knew that this praise had to be heard by Qin Shuo to count.

So——

Xu Jiaojiao mechanically turned her head, outside the tea garden, that tall figure, who else could it be but Qin Shuo?

Their eyes met, boom, Xu Jiaojiao’s face turned completely red.

She thought that the messy praise she gave this morning had already made her socially dead.

Who knew that there was something even more embarrassing than this morning?

She was just trying to save face!

He actually heard it again!!

“Xu Jiaojiao, your big hero is here!” Someone joked.

Xu Jiaojiao: I’m already dead, if you have anything to do, just burn some paper for me!

Socially dead Xu Jiaojiao didn’t dare to look at the man’s expression at all.

Like an ostrich, she started picking tea leaves again.

Pick, pick, pick

Pick, pick, pick

As if she wasn’t picking tea leaves, but doing some kind of sacred research work.

Her cowardly appearance amused Ding Xiujing to no end.

Compared to her calm and composed reaction when she saw Gu Qingbai earlier.

Now, Xu Jiaojiao was the one who looked like a woman who was uncomfortable when she saw her lover.

The other aunts and wives were all experienced, seeing her expression, how could they not understand?

They immediately started teasing her, one after another.

They teased Xu Jiaojiao until she could have dug a villa out of the floor.

On the other side, Ye Shuizhen was already attracted by the man outside the tea garden.

Her eyes were full of jealousy.

Why could a village girl be so lucky? She married such an outstanding man?

Yes, the man outside was truly as outstanding as Xu Jiaojiao had said.

He had handsome features, and his physique looked strong and powerful.

That aura, needless to say, he must be a powerful person in the army.

He just stood there, attracting everyone’s attention.

He even overshadowed Gu Qingbai’s presence.

How could Ye Shuizhen not be jealous?

Xu Jiaojiao was clearly a shameless woman, she was already married, yet she still shamelessly went to the educated youth point to steal glances at men.

Thinking of that woman who only knew how to please herself, actually had such an outstanding partner, she couldn’t accept it.

Xu Jiaojiao didn’t have the time to care about Ye Shuizhen’s thoughts.

At this moment, she wished she could shrink into the crowd and pray that the man wouldn’t see her.

Fortunately, heaven seemed to finally hear her prayers.

After a while, the man who had been standing outside the tea garden was gone.

Xu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and raised her sleeve to wipe the nonexistent sweat from her forehead.

As soon as she put her hand down, she heard a panicked voice from under the tree outside the tea garden.

“Ya Ya, Ya Ya, don’t scare your mother!”
