I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 218: Educated Youths in the Countryside in the 70s 07

Qingyue stood outside the door and called inside a few times.

After a moment, Qingyue heard a voice coming from inside: "Who is it?"

Qingyue looked up and saw a person in blue clothes coming out. She looked to be in her fifties.

This should be Jiang Xiangdong’s mother.

After all, Jiang Xiangdong looks very similar to her.

Qingyue walked over and said with a smile: "Auntie, I am Lin Qingyue, an educated youth from the educated youth courtyard."

Hearing Qingyue say this, she suddenly realized: "I remember now, I remember it was you who fell into the water yesterday. I heard that you were unconscious when you were rescued. Now you are fully recovered."

Qingyue nodded: "I am fine now. I have to thank Comrade Jiang Xiangdong for all this. If he hadn't saved me, I would not have been able to be saved."

"He saved me, I can't pretend I don't know, so I brought something over here, Auntie, you must accept it."

The aunt took Qingyue into the house. She walked very slowly. Qingyue took a look at her legs. One of her legs was injured. Qingyue walked to her side, supported her and helped her sit on the stool.

"Thank you, Lin Zhiqing, but this brown sugar is too expensive, you should take it back. My son is a soldier, and saving people is his duty. There is no need to give him any gifts."

Of course Qingyue would not take it back, she pushed the candy in front of the aunt again.

After that, the two of them naturally refused for a while, but in the end, the aunt couldn't resist Qingyue's persuasion and accepted it.

Not long after Qingyue left, Jiang Xiangdong came back.

He was holding some firewood in his hand. After returning home, he went straight to the place where the firewood was kept next to the kitchen and put it away neatly.

Then he took the axe and chopped some heavy and difficult-to-carry firewood and put it away.

After finishing all this, he went to the water tank to get some water and washed his hands and face.

Because of working, the clothes he wore were soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his body. It was summer now, so he was wearing thin clothes. It was easy to see that he had a tall and well-proportioned figure.

Zhang Yufen, Jiang Xiangdong's mother, called Jiang Xiangdong in only after she heard the noise outside stop.

Jiang Xiangdong responded and walked into the house.

Seeing him, Zhang Yufen said, "The brown sugar on the table was sent by Lin Zhiqing. It's a token of gratitude to you."

Jiang Xiangdong pursed his lips, picked up the brown sugar, turned around and was about to go out.

Zhang Yufen shouted from behind: "Where are you going?"

"Send the sugar over. We can't accept it."

"Come back. If you go straight to them like this, and someone sees you, I don't know what to say. When you find a chance, return it to them."

Jiang Xiangdong didn't go after hearing what her mother said. He didn't care and didn't take to heart what others said about him behind his back. But Lin Zhiqing was a girl and he couldn't be so reckless.

Seeing that he was not going out, Zhang Yufen continued to pick beans, that is, to pick out the bad ones, and said as she picked, "Old Four, you are already in your twenties, it's time for you to find a wife and start a family. Otherwise, why don't you go on a blind date while you are at home and then arrange the marriage?"

The reason why Jiang Xiangdong came back at this time was because he received a letter saying that his mother had broken her leg. Also, he hadn't been home for several years, so he took a vacation and came back to visit.

"No, mother, let's talk about this later."

Zhang Yufen smiled and said, "Are you sure you don't need it, and you don't have someone in your heart?"

Jiang Xiangdong didn't say anything.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Yufen knew that she had guessed right, even though he usually liked to have a stern face and pretend to be serious all day long.

But the fourth child is her biological son, and as his mother, she knows something about what he is thinking. She felt something was wrong when he came back from the hospital yesterday.

She didn't know why at the time, and she guessed that nothing was going on at home, and the army had not called him back to perform a mission due to some emergency situation.

After all the guessing, it's just a private matter.

When she thought about what she had just said about Lin Zhiqing coming, his expression changed a little, and she knew it was because of Lin Zhiqing.

"If you count the time you rescued her from the river, it's only been twice so far. How come you fell in love with her so quickly?"

Although she was asking him, she still understood matters of the heart. After all, she was an experienced person. After so many years, she still remembered that when she first met her husband, she fell in love with him at first sight.

It was definitely not because he was good-looking, she chose to marry him because she knew what kind of person he was.

In fact, she did not make the wrong choice. Thanks to her good eye for talent at the time, her child's father has never had a quarrel with her in all the years since she got married, and she is the one who makes the decisions on all the household affairs.

She gave birth to four children in total, three sons and one daughter. The other children are already married and have children, leaving only the fourth child.

He had been in the army before, and even if he came back he didn't want to go on a blind date. But now he is 28 years old. Will he be able to find a wife if he doesn't get married?

Originally, she planned to take a look at it first and then tell the fourth brother.

Unexpectedly, the fourth brother had someone he liked when he came back this time. She didn't care whether the person he liked was an educated youth or someone else, as long as he was a good person and not a troublemaker, she could accept him.

Qingyue had no idea about the conversation going on here.

Qingyue rested for two days and then started to work. This was the first time she had done farm work in several worlds.

Qingyue was well prepared. She wore the straw hat and gloves left by the original owner, and wore long clothes and long pants, leaving no skin exposed. Then, she followed the other educated youth to work.

When she arrived at the field, Qingyue was assigned a piece of land, and she needed to pull out all the weeds in it.

It is morning now, not yet the hottest time of the day. At this time, a cool breeze blows from time to time. In such an environment, it is relatively easy for Qingyue to pull it up, but after a long time, the sun is above her head, and she feels a little hot under the sun. Sweat appears on her face, and her hands become weaker and weaker.

Qingyue looked around and found that the people around her were either weeding or hoeing the ground like her. No one was looking at her. Then Qingyue took out a small bottle of white water drops from the space and drank it. Only then did she feel stronger.

She took out a cooling lotion from the space. This cooling lotion was mixed by her before. Applying it on the wrists can reduce the heat in the body.

In order to be able to take things out at any time without being discovered, she used large porcelain bottles to hold all her water drops and other mixing things. She also ordered a batch of small porcelain bottles. Each small porcelain bottle was the size of a palm. Even if there were people around her, she would not be easily discovered when she took them out from the space.

With these, she finally managed to pull out all the weeds in the field by the time work got off work.

The area where she weeded was small, and at the end of the day she only gained five centimeters, which was not bad, and she was still very satisfied with it.
