Chapter 30: Feeling that Zhao Xiulan is Special

This time Jiang Cheng came over to find a relatively close relative.

This relative hadn’t been in touch for many years, so the information available now is limited. It’s only known that the relative is in this county town, but not the specific location.

Coming here, they had to ask Lu Qingguo to help with finding connections, inquire more, and see if they could find them.

Time passed quickly as they talked and chatted.

Originally, Zhao Xiulan would have had to walk for two or three hours, but sitting in the truck, it only took twenty minutes to arrive.

When they reached a place not far from the production team, Zhao Xiulan asked Lu Qingguo to stop the car.

Although the car could have been driven to her doorstep, Zhao Xiulan didn’t dare to be so conspicuous.

Cars are too eye-catching, and Lu Qingguo and Jiang Cheng are both male comrades.

If she walked with the two of them, she might attract gossip.

In this era, if one is rumoured to have improper relations between men and women, the situation is very serious. To avoid these unnecessary troubles, Zhao Xiulan asked Lu Qingguo to stop the car at a distance.

“Comrade Lu, Comrade Jiang, thank you for bringing me here, it’s enough to drop me off here. I’ll head back now! We’ll chat more when we meet again next time!”

Zhao Xiulan got off the car with her basket on her back.

“Okay, Comrade Xiulan, take care on the way!”

“Mm!”

With a bright smile on her lips, Zhao Xiulan turned and walked towards the production team.

Lu Qingguo prepared to start the car and turn around, but he noticed that Jiang Cheng’s gaze hadn’t returned from Zhao Xiulan’s departing figure, and he was still staring at her.

With a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth, Lu Qingguo asked Jiang Cheng, “What? Fancy the female comrade there?

“It’s normal to be attracted; I think this female comrade is quite outstanding. She’s good-looking, knows how to fix cars, apart from being a bit young, she’s quite good.

“You’re not young anymore, I already have a few kids, but you don’t even have a partner! You need to put in more effort; otherwise, in a few years, you’ll become an old bachelor, and it won’t be easy to find a good female comrade.”

Being teased by Lu Qingguo like this, a suspicious blush appeared on Jiang Cheng’s cheeks.

Jiang Cheng withdrew his gaze from Zhao Xiulan, “Qingguo, stop teasing me. I just feel that this female comrade is a bit different from usual.”

Setting aside the fact that Zhao Xiulan can fix cars, obviously being a rural girl, she exudes an indescribable temperament, even with a hint of scholarly air. Usually, only those who often read and are influenced over a long period will have this kind of temperament.

Most importantly, she completely lacks the rustiness of a rural person, and even has a bit of “aristocracy.”

Logically, she should come from a good background, so how could she be just a rural girl?

In any case, all the characteristics of Zhao Xiulan seem out of place for a rural person.

Lu Qingguo understood Jiang Cheng’s meaning.

Actually, not only Jiang Cheng felt this way, Lu Qingguo also noticed something special about Zhao Xiulan.

Lu Qingguo sighed and said, “In these chaotic times, no one knows what others have experienced before or will experience in the future. This female comrade says she’s from the countryside, but who knows if she was sent down because of some family problems, or if her family suddenly declined. So, there’s nothing to be surprised about.”

Hearing Lu Qingguo’s words, Jiang Cheng also felt that they made sense.

After the founding of the country, many people with bad backgrounds were sent down to various rural areas.

Especially some capitalists, landlords, or wealthy businessmen.
