Chapter 14
“Jiang Yule, Meng Zhiqing, please lock the door when you go to bed at night. The atmosphere in the village is good, but you two girls should still pay attention to your safety when living here.”
“Okay,” they both responded
Watching Mu Chuan and Xiao Ai leave, the two locked the courtyard door and went to the main hall. Halfway through their meal, Meng Wanshu suddenly sat up straight, “That’s not right, then why does Mu Chuan call me Meng Zhiqing and you Jiang Yule?”
Jiang Yule’s body froze slightly when she heard this. She also felt that something was wrong, but she didn’t know how to explain it for a moment. She even hoped that she could help her analyze it.
However, before Jiang Yule could come up with a reason, she heard an even more speechless answer…
“Comrade Mu Chuan is so rude. He should call you Comrade Jiang or Jiang Zhiqing. How can he just call you by your full name? It’s so disrespectful to you!”
“Well, let’s eat. Eat more to replenish your body.” Jiang Yule picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Meng Wanshu’s bowl. This girl, didn’t she say that she was famous for writing novels? Is this all?
Mu Chuan? Disrespect? So he asked her to call him Mu Chuan, which meant that he asked her to disrespect him?
Jiang Yule’s head was full of black lines. She shouldn’t have counted on her… What the hell is going on?
“By the way, I want to go to town tomorrow to see if there are any bicycles. Do you want to buy one?”
“Buy one. I’ll find the money and put it away in a moment. Let’s go take a look together tomorrow.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yule nodded. Since they had already bought a house, they didn’t need a bicycle. In addition to bicycles, Jiang Yule was also thinking about raising a big wolf dog to guard their house.
Mu Chuan’s words just now did remind her that there are good people everywhere, and naturally there are bad people. They have just arrived and they are so generous. It is hard to guarantee that they will not be targeted by some people with evil intentions. Having a big wolf dog here will also serve as a warning.
But this big wolfdog… Jiang Yule was a little unsure for a moment. She wanted a retired military dog, but she didn’t know any…
No! She has! Brother Jiashu!
Jiang Yule decided to call Brother Jiashu tomorrow to ask!
But before that, she had to ask Wan Shu if she was afraid of dogs…
“Wanshu, are you afraid of dogs?”
“I’m not afraid. Why are you asking?” Meng Wanshu was cleaning up the dishes and looked up at Jiang Yule who was filling a basin with water to wash the dishes.
“I feel that even though we live across the street from the captain’s house, it still feels uneasy. I want to get a dog to guard the house.”
“Raising a dog? That would be great! But if it’s a dog, we have to teach him not to eat random things.”
“So I want to ask someone if we can adopt a retired military dog. I wonder if there is such a policy now.”
“How about we go up the mountain and look for wolf cubs? Those are pretty cool.”
Jiang Yule: …
“You’ve read too many novels, haven’t you? This is too difficult for me…”
“Um, I’m just saying…”
Jiang Yule saw that Meng Wanshu had no objection, and the two chatted for a while, then washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
That night, Jiang Yule slept soundly on the unfamiliar bed, without any dreams.
On the second day, Jiang Yule slept until noon, and then he stretched his body. His white arms emerged from under the quilt, and under the mottled sunlight shining through the gap in the curtains, they seemed to glow.
Jiang Yule was also very surprised when he saw this scene. My skin is too good. In my previous life, those celebrities who spent millions on skin care products were not even one tenth as good as hers now.
“If this continues, I won’t get tanned even when I go to work,” Jiang Yule muttered. Today she decided to give it a try. She would not wear a hat today to see if there would be any changes after sun exposure…
Considering that she might have to ride a bicycle today, Jiang Yule deliberately wore a light blue straight skirt that reached below her calf, paired with a white short-sleeved shirt. She looked youthful, beautiful, and full of vitality, totally different from the stereotyped military green and dark blue clothes of this era.
They both woke up early, ate a few slices of bread, drank a glass of milk, and finished their breakfast. After locking the door, they went out and headed for the town.
Passing by the Youth League Point, the two went in to find Li Fengxian
At this moment, only Li Fengxian, a new educated youth, was in the girls’ dormitory.
“Fengxian, we are going to the town to pick up our luggage, do you want to go shopping with us?”
“I’m not going. I brought everything I need with me. There’s nothing else to buy.”
“Okay, then we’ll call you when we get back this afternoon and have dinner at our house. Ask the educated youth not to cook for you.”
“Okay, then you guys go quickly,” Li Fengxian said, and then she turned back to the house after watching the two of them leave. She also wanted to go to town, but her family didn’t send her much money, and now she hasn’t started working, so she doesn’t know how much she can earn. She feels a little uneasy about spending her money.
It’s still more economical to stay in the dormitory. Thinking of this, Li Fengxian suddenly stood up. She had to bring some gifts when she went to eat with them in the evening. She took out three glass jars from her cabinet and left one bottle outside. This honey was made by her family. It didn’t cost money but it took some time. She hoped that Yule and Wanshu wouldn’t mind…
When they arrived in town, they first bought bicycles, registered them, pretended to buy a lot of things, and then turned a corner where no one was paying attention, and transferred a lot of meat from the space.
After making sure that nothing was left out, the two went to the post office to pick up their luggage. While Meng Wanshu was picking up her luggage, Jiang Yule called Jiashu’s brother.
“Brother Jiashu” The call was connected, and Jiang Yule’s sweet voice reached the other party’s ears. The next moment, a clear male voice like water was heard on the other side of the phone, with a slight smile and unusually gentle.
“Yu Le, have you got your luggage today?”
“Yes, I got it. Yule wants to ask Brother Jiashu for a favor.”
“Whatever it is, just tell me. There is no such thing as a request or no request.”
“Brother Jiashu, do you know what happens to retired military dogs?”
“There are special military dog retirement bases, and there are also retired military personnel who adopt them, but they are relatively rare. Retired military dogs are more or less injured, and it may cost a lot for ordinary people to raise them. What? Do you want to raise one?”
“Well, I bought a yard here. We are the only two girls living together. I want to raise a military dog. It will be safer.”
“It may be a little troublesome for you to adopt a retired military dog, but if you want to keep one, I can find a puppy and send it to you after it’s trained. It’s more suitable than adopting a military dog.”
“That’s great, I’ll trouble you, Brother Jiashu.”
“No problem, I’ll ask someone and try to get it to you before the holiday is over.”
“Okay, thank you, Brother Jiashu.”
The two chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone, but no one noticed that the tall voice at the door of the post office flashed by.
Mu Chuan came here today to get some news about his parents from his comrades, so he came to get their trust. He didn’t expect to meet Jiang Yule here.
Seeing the usually serious girl, now smiling as bright as the sun, calling Jiashu brother left and right, so sweetly, if he remembered correctly, this girl also scolded the guy named Bai on the train, disliked him for finding sisters everywhere, but she didn’t say anything now…
For a moment…Mu Chuan suddenly wanted to know what the relationship between Zhou Jiashu and Jiang Yule was. On the one hand, he wondered why he didn’t protect her, and on the other hand, he was secretly happy that she could come here.
But… Mu Chuan refused to admit that he had these inexplicable emotions in his heart.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yule paid the money and walked out of the post office with Meng Wanshu briskly.
At about 4pm, Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu rode their bicycles, with several large bags in front and behind them, and appeared at the entrance of the brigade village.
Fortunately, everyone in the village was working at this time, otherwise the generous gesture of these two people would have caused a sensation again.
Yesterday, the news of the new educated youth buying a house had basically become a household topic. During the workday, everyone talked about these two people in their spare time. Even those who stayed at the educated youth home did not leave. Many people asked the other educated youths who came with them about the two people.
Except for Li Fengxian who didn’t talk much, other people had the same opinion about these two people: good-looking, rich, and bad-tempered.
There is no doubt that being rich and good-looking
Bad temper… This is because of Kang Yan’s incident, which has also spread in the team…
Although I think it’s not easy for Jiang Yule to be the child of a martyr, I also feel that she is a little bit unyielding. It’s too cruel to send a girl to the public security bureau like this. Moreover, this matter will not have a good impact on their team.
Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu were not aware of these things, but even if they knew, they would not pay too much attention to them. They could not care too much about other people’s mouths…
At this time, Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu were excitedly calling Li Fengxian and heading home.
“Fengxian, if you feel unhappy living in the educated youth camp, just move in. We have prepared the room and you are always welcome.” Jiang Yule looked at Li Fengxian who was sitting opposite him and washing vegetables, and invited her again. Li Fengxian was straightforward, while Nie Shuhui was arrogant, so they might not get along well.
“Okay, I’ll tell you if I need anything. But the people at the educated youth site are actually pretty good. Except for Nie Shuhui who does things without thinking, the rest of them… seem pretty kind. But I always feel like there’s something wrong with this kindness. Sometimes I hear them speak in a sarcastic tone.”
Jiang Yule suddenly thought of the casual chat with Grandma Qi and the others yesterday afternoon, and reminded Li Fengxian, “You have a straightforward personality, so be on guard. I heard from the villagers that there are several female educated youths in the educated youth center. They are all the ones who stir up trouble behind the scenes. They are not good people. Only Nie Shuhui thinks she can control them.”
“Okay, I understand. I don’t plan to compete for a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. I just want to live my own life well.”
“Yeah.” Jiang Yule nodded and said nothing more. Li Fengxian was also a smart person. She believed that she knew what was going on.
“I need help…” While the two were washing the vegetables, Meng Wanshu came out of the kitchen, spreading her hands and looking helpless.
“What’s going on?” Jiang Yule asked
“I don’t know how to make a fire,” Meng Wanshu said aggrievedly. Li Fengxian and Jiang Yule looked at each other and burst out laughing. The clear and pleasant laughter came from the yard. Mu Chuan, who came in with Qi Bai and Xiao Ai, clearly distinguished Jiang Yule’s laughter from them. Although he didn’t know what they were laughing at, Mu Chuan still had a slightly imperceptible smile on his face…
But thinking of what he said in the afternoon, Brother Jiashu, Mu Chuan’s face suddenly darkened.
“Let me do it.” Qi Bai pushed open the gate, walked in, and took over the task of making the fire.
“That’s great, you teach me, I can’t always ask you to light the fire for every meal in the future.” Meng Wanshu muttered and followed Qi Bai to the kitchen.
“Hello, Sister Yule.” Xiao Ai came running over, squatting beside Jiang Yule obediently as soon as she came in, looking up at Jiang Yule with a sweet little face.
“Little Ai, this is the educated youth who came with your sister. You can call Fengxian sister.”
“Hello, Sister Fengxian,” Xiao Ai greeted her obediently. Her eyes only fell on Fengxian when she greeted her, and then she looked at Jiang Yule eagerly, a real little fangirl.
“This is Brother Qi Bo and Mu… Mu Chuan’s sister.” Comrade Mu almost blurted out that sentence. He glanced at Mu Chuan standing not far away, and Jiang Yule held it back in time.
“Ah, hello, Xiao Ai.” Li Fengxian inexplicably felt that the atmosphere between these people was a little weird.
Especially after she greeted Xiao Ai, she saw Mu Chuan going to the well to fetch water so familiarly. Although she had never met Mu Chuan before, she could tell from his face that he was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to do such a thing.
Fengxian was surprised, and Jiang Yule was also surprised
Jiang Yule paused in her actions of picking vegetables as she watched Mu Chuan fetch water without saying a word.
“Xiao Ai, what’s wrong with your brother?” Jiang Yule approached Xiao Ai and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Ai didn’t even look at her brother, she just stared at Jiang Yule and imitated her and whispered, “Before leaving, grandma told my brother that he should work more, talk more and eat less. She also said that she would come and ask my sister tomorrow. If my brother didn’t do as she said, grandma would kick him out.”
“Ah… this…” Jiang Yule was speechless for a moment.
Good man, the little girl sold out her brother with just a few words
Looking at Mu Chuan’s hurried back, Jiang Yule shook his head helplessly. They bought so many delicious foods, so they should just exercise more now so that they can eat more later…
There were laughter and joy in the yard, and fragrance wafted from the kitchen. If it weren’t for the fact that the surroundings were still so poor, Jiang Yule would have thought that he had come to some folk resort.
“It’s time to eat, come and serve the dishes.” Chef Meng’s voice came from the kitchen. Everyone hurriedly got up and went into the kitchen. One of them brought out a bowl of dishes and put them on the table. They set the tableware and waited for everyone to sit down before eating.
“Brother Qi Bo, Comrade Mu, I made these two extra portions. Please take a trip to deliver one portion to Grandma Mu and Grandma Qi.” Meng Wanshu came out with two baskets, each containing two large bowls filled with scallion oil braised chicken.
“This… is not good, you guys should stay and eat it here.” Qi Bai looked at the full bowl of meat and felt embarrassed to take it. What was the point of eating and taking it at the same time?
“What’s there to be embarrassed about? Grandma Mu and Grandma Qi didn’t bring us any food yesterday. Hurry up and take it, or everyone at home will have finished their meal.” Meng Wanshu didn’t wait for anyone to continue to refuse, and directly stuffed the two baskets into their arms.
