Chapter 3

The moment their eyes met in the air, Ning Jia suddenly thought, could it be that Old Lady Xu had reported her at home and sent her son to deal with her?

After all, this old lady is used to being domineering at home, so which daughter-in-law doesn’t have to obey her wishes?

No matter what, let’s wait and see what he says when he comes over later.

Ning Jia was lost in thought when she heard a clear and pleasant laugh in the field: “Sister-in-law Ning Jia is really devoted to Brother Li Yao. When she saw him coming, she wished her eyes were on him! It’s okay, sister-in-law, if you want to watch, just watch. I’ll help you with the work you left behind.”

The words sounded so familiar that Ning Jia almost instantly determined who the other person was.

Isn’t this the “beautiful and kind-hearted” and knowledgeable heroine Lin Xiaoxi in the book?

Because everyone in the village liked her, the production team leader who assigned work always gave her the easiest work.

In order to demonstrate her noble character and her spirit of not fearing hardship, she would do some strenuous work every now and then.

Isn’t it just about reclaiming wasteland together with everyone?

It really highlights her!

The sentence just now was full of tea flavor. At first glance, it seemed like a joke, but in fact it was accusing her of thinking about her man during working hours and taking the opportunity to be lazy and not work.

While belittling her, he did not forget to highlight his own hard work and kindness.

Sure enough, the villagers who were working were bewitched by these words and started firing at her.

“Ning Jia, let’s be more ambitious and stop looking so unsatisfied! If you want a man, go back home and think about him on the kang. If you go to work, work hard. If you’re lazy, won’t others do more work for you?”

As soon as Aunt Niu opened her mouth, everyone burst into laughter.

Everyone in the village knew that Li Yao did not have a wedding night on his wedding night. He carried his bedding roll and went to the foot of the mountain to guard the fish pond alone.

After two months of marriage, he is not at home almost every night.

“Aunt Niu, look at what you are saying? If Ning Jia could be satisfied, would she still keep her eyes on a man’s belt?”

“Hahaha!” I don’t know which aunt laughed loudly. After laughing enough, she didn’t forget to tease Ning Jia’s figure, “You can’t blame Li Yao for this. With a figure like a washboard, who can tell the front from the back? Others are holding big buns in their arms, but you are holding two small green apricots! Auntie is just joking with you, don’t be angry!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter from the fields, and everyone’s eyes fell on Ning Jia’s face.

If it were the original owners, they would have been so embarrassed that their faces would have turned red, and they would have thrown a tantrum in front of others without caring about anything.

But now, Ning Jia smiled calmly and straightened her chest: “What’s wrong? I am proud of my flat chest, I save fabric for the country! But I can’t compare with the aunts who just spoke, they are as thick as a cylinder, but not as tall as a cylinder, and all they have except their buttocks is waist!”

As soon as she finished speaking, all the men in the field burst into laughter.

An Ye also laughed out loud. If Ning Jia didn’t speak, she would have to speak out immediately.

Li Yao watched from afar. He felt that Ning Jia seemed to have changed. He was not as crazy and stupid as usual, making others laugh at him.

The women who had made fun of Ning Jia suddenly changed their expressions when they saw that the men were laughing at them.

“Hey…you…how can you talk like that!”

“We are so old, and you don’t know how to respect others at all?”

Ning Jia laughed twice: “Didn’t the aunts just say that? Are you kidding me? Don’t let me get angry! I’m also joking with you aunts, don’t get angry!”

Several people were humiliated by Ning Jia and kept silent.

Only the neighbor Aunt Niu was not convinced. She glanced at Li Yao who had just arrived and snorted: “Li Yao, don’t you take care of your wife? If you don’t set rules for this daughter-in-law after she comes home, she will dare to ride on the old woman’s neck and shit in the future!”

Ning Jia glanced at Li Yao and saw that he was pursing his lips, with an expression that looked a little unhappy.

She retracted her gaze and said to Aunt Niu, “Why do we women have to drag men into our conversation? As for the skills you just mentioned, you should keep them for when Brother Niu brings his wife home.”

“Ning Jia, are you laughing at my son for being single at such an old age?” Aunt Niu was completely angry and threw the shovel to the ground with a bang.

“Stop arguing!” Li Yao finally spoke, his face clearly unhappy, “Please don’t worry about our affairs, don’t waste your time!”

“Yes, yes, yes, let’s get started! Don’t stop!” The captain, who had seen enough of the excitement, saw that something was wrong and shouted twice hurriedly.

The clinking sounds of hoes and shovels began again. Ning Jia lowered his head but had no intention of working.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Li Yao striding towards her.

She simply stopped working and waited for him.

Li Yao came in front of her and looked her over.

“What are you doing?” Ning Jia looked up at him, “Are you making fun of me like them? Or are you teaching me a lesson for the old lady?”

Li Yao didn’t say anything. He reached into his pocket, took out a paper bag and handed it to Ning Jia.

“What’s this?”

“For you.”

Ning Jia took the paper package in surprise, opened it, and saw a large, steaming white flour bun that was still steaming.

“This is……”

Li Yao said in a deep voice: “Eat it. I heard about what happened this morning. Mom was wrong. She shouldn’t have stopped you from eating!”

Ning Jiazhen didn’t expect that Li Yao would come over specially to bring her steamed buns and said that it was Grandma Xu who was wrong.

It seems that his values ​​are still quite correct and he hasn’t been led astray by that old woman.

“Then I won’t be polite?” Ning Jia really wasn’t too full, so he just broke off a piece of steamed bun and put it into his mouth.

Looking at Li Yao’s throat sliding up and down, it seemed as if he was swallowing saliva.

Ning Jia realized that this should be Li Yao’s breakfast.

This is definitely not the breakfast at home, who knows who gave it to him.

Ning Jia broke off a small portion and ate it, then gave the rest back to Li Yao: “I ate some for breakfast, here you go.”

“No need, just eat it all. If mom doesn’t let you eat again, tell me about it.” After Li Yao finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.

Ning Jia quickly stuffed half of the steamed bun into his mouth, rewrapped the remaining half and put it into his pocket.

During the mid-morning break, Ning Jia took the opportunity to go to the toilet, passed by An Ye, and threw the half steamed bun to her.

An Ye opened the paper package and his eyes lit up when he saw that it was actually white flour buns.

She immediately stood up and pretended to go to the toilet, and finished the steamed bun in just a few bites while walking.

When she found Ning Jia, she had just finished using the bathroom, and the two of them huddled together and talked in a low voice.

“Jia Jia, did Li Yao give you the steamed buns?”

“Yeah, he knew everything that happened this morning. I thought he came here to vent his mother’s anger, but I didn’t expect he came here to give me steamed buns!” Ning Jia smacked his lips after he finished speaking. He still felt that wheat flour tasted more comfortable.

“It’s really strange. Doesn’t he hate you? He doesn’t even sleep with you…” An Ye wondered.

Ning Jia blinked, recalled the original plot, and seemed to have found the reason.
