The impatience on Fan Min's face was obvious: "It happens every time. I just want to be lazy and do nothing."
Tong Xin's face felt a little aggrieved, and her eyes turned red when she saw everyone there.
"I'm sorry, Fan Zhiqing, I didn't mean it."
Fan Min became even more angry, as he did every time. He snorted and strode into the kitchen, ignoring her.
Tong Xin lowered her head, looking pitiful, and wiped her tears secretly.
Then he followed into the kitchen.
Others looked at it and were used to it.
The newcomers felt that Fan Min was bullying, but they had only arrived not long ago and the others didn't say anything, so naturally they couldn't say anything.
In the kitchen, Fan Min saw her coming in and said angrily: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. You have to be shouted at every time. There are a lot of people waiting for you. You really think you are still the eldest lady."
Tong Xin kept her head down since she came in and didn't dare to say a word until she heard Fan Min say "Miss."
Then he raised his head, his eyes were red and his body was trembling slightly.
"Fan Zhiqing, I know you don't like me, but you don't have to slander me like this."
Fan Min wanted to say something else, but Xu Jiao tugged at the corner of her clothes and shook her head.
Li Hongying also came out to smooth things over: "Don't say a few words, cooking is important."
Tong Xin was really angry this time and burst into tears. They all defended Fan Min.
Just because they come later, they exclude themselves.
There are all women here, so I don't feel anything about Tong Xin's tears.
Seeing that no one was there to comfort Tong Xin, Li Hongying had no choice but to go by herself: "Tong Zhiqing, stop crying. Fan Zhiqing doesn't mean any harm. You can go and light the fire."
Tong Xin nodded, but she was not grateful. Instead, she felt that Li Hongying was pretending.
People outside didn't know about the smoke in the kitchen, and even if they heard it, they wouldn't say anything.
After all, girls had little friction before, so the old educated youths were used to it.
As for the few new male educated youths, they are still too young.
As soon as Zhao Jing got home, she didn't see them. When she saw that the baskets under the eaves were missing, she knew they had gone up the mountain.
Just as I was about to cook, I heard the door open. I turned around and saw the two of them coming back with baskets on their backs.
"You two are going up the mountain again."
Su Jingyang smiled and nodded: "Go for a walk in the mountains, otherwise you will be bored at home."
Ji Mingxuan took off the large backpack on his body and said.
"I searched all afternoon and didn't find many yams, but I did catch two rabbits and three pheasants."
Zhao Jing smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'm going to cook."
With that said, he walked towards the kitchen.
Su Jingyang quickly stopped her: "Hey, wait."
Zhao Jing turned around and looked at him with a puzzled look.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Su Jingyang put the things aside and walked to the kitchen carrying a hare and a pheasant: "I'll do it, you rest."
Zhao Jing looked at Ji Mingxuan. Ji Mingxuan smiled and said, "Listen to him and rest. I'll send a pheasant to the captain."
As he said that, he put the things in his backpack and went out.
Zhao Jing tidied up the messy things on the floor and walked to the kitchen without sitting down to rest.
When Su Jingyang saw Zhao Jing coming, he said, "Didn't I tell you to rest? Why are you here?"
As soon as Zhao Jing walked to the stove and said, "You can't do it alone, I'll help light the fire."
Su Jingyang wanted to say that he could handle it, but Zhao Jingyi had already sat down to light the fire.
He didn't say anything anymore.
Ji Mingxuan walked towards the brigade leader's house with a backpack on his back. Occasionally he met a few people on the way who simply said hello.
When we arrived at the brigade leader's house, the door was open.
Ji Mingxuan stood at the door and knocked.
Wang Guihua was picking vegetables at the door of the kitchen and shouted: "Come in."
Ji Mingxuan walked in with a basket on his back: "Auntie."
Wang Guihua looked up and saw Ji Mingxuan, a little surprised: "Xiao Ji, why are you here?"
Originally I wanted to call him Ji Zhiqing, but thinking that he was no longer an educated youth, he changed his name.
Ji Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded and said: "I'm giving you a pheasant for my uncle, I just shot it."
As he said this, he took out a pheasant from his basket, which was still alive.
Wang Guihua quickly put down the food in her hand and said with a look of disapproval: "I can't have it, I can't have it, take it back quickly. How can I ask for your things? Take it back to make soup for my aunt."
Ji Mingxuan smiled and said, "I keep it at home, and I'm already doing it."
Wang Guihua said nothing and said, "That's not possible. I'll save it for my aunt tomorrow."
Ji Mingxuan was a little helpless: "Auntie, we will go to the mountains tomorrow, so just accept it."
Wang Guihua still doesn’t want it, tomorrow is tomorrow, what if I can’t get it tomorrow?
Although their family hasn’t loved meat for a while, nothing is more important than my aunt’s health.
The two were in a stalemate, and finally the captain came out and said, "Take it."
Wang Guihua was a little unhappy and wanted to nag a few words: "How can this be done..."
Ji Mingxuan changed his voice and said: "My little cousin knew about it, so she specially asked me to send it here."
Wang Guihua was a little hesitant when she heard that Zhao Jingyi had asked him to send it. It was neither right nor wrong to refuse at this moment.
"My aunt asked me to bring it to you. This is not okay. Why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Ji Mingxuan was also afraid of Wang Guihua, so he put the chicken on the ground: "Auntie, I put it here. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he ran away.
Wang Guihua carried the chicken and wanted to chase it out.
The captain said: "It would be bad if you go out with it and be seen by others."
Wang Guihua stopped and sighed after hearing this.
"My aunt, how can you be so polite? You said your health is not good, and you don't want to make up for it yourself."
The captain said helplessly: "It's not like you don't know my aunt's temper. Just take it and make up for it for the children."
After entering the house, Wang Guihua wanted to say a few words, but she left.
After Ji Mingxuan walked away, there was a smile on his face and he walked towards Zhao Jiandong's house.
When we walked to the village, we saw several old ladies sitting under the big trees.
Seeing Ji Mingxuan, he asked: "Isn't this Ji Zhiqing? Where are you going with a backpack on your back?"
Ji Mingxuan smiled lightly and said, "Let's go to Xiaoya's house."
The old ladies didn't think much and nodded.
The direction of Zhao Jiandong's house is the same as that of Zhao Xiaoya's house.
After Ji Mingxuan left, several old women began to gossip about the rich family of the east and the shortcomings of the west.
When I arrived at Zhao Jiandong's house, there was a little boy and a little girl playing in the yard.
The surrounding area was surrounded by a fence, so he could see what was inside. Ji Mingxuan knocked on the door.
The little girl was Zhao Jiandong's daughter. Zhao Xiaolan looked up and saw someone standing at the door.
Get up quickly and run to the kitchen: "Dad, there is a knock on the door."
Zhao Jiandong asked: "Who is coming?"
Zhao Xiaolan shook her head: "I don't know."
Zhao Jiandong walked out of the kitchen and was a little surprised to see Ji Mingxuan.
There is another chapter a little later, there will be a small update tomorrow
