Chapter 134: The Green Tea Educated Youth of the 70s (21)
Jiang Zishi knew when to quit while he was ahead, and he had a habit of turning the tables on others. He sneered,
"Bian Yumin, what do you think marriage is? You say get married, and I have to go along with it? You say call it off, and I’m supposed to just quietly turn and walk away?"
"Everyone knows we’re getting engaged now. Are you telling me this is all a joke?"
"Dating is between two people, but marriage is between two families. Comrade Dong once said that any romance not intended for marriage is hooliganism!"
He leaned in close to her ear and whispered,
"We’ve kissed, we’ve held each other, we’ve touched. What do you mean by saying all this now?"
"Are you trying to make me out to be a hooligan?"
"Neither of us is a saint. We’re both just getting what we need. That’s the reality of it, and you just have to accept it."
"Besides, I think out of everyone here, you’re probably the one who most wants something to happen to Chi Yun’er, right?"
"Playing innocent after getting what you want... a little bit is fine, but don’t overdo it and have it backfire on you!"
After saying his piece, he chuckled lightly, patted her on the shoulder, and called out a farewell to the village chief’s family before leaving directly.
Bian Yumin clenched her fists, seething for a long moment before gritting her teeth.
’Chi Yun’er, you can’t blame me. Who else but heaven is to blame for giving me a second chance at life?’
’Jiang Zishi can only be my man. In the future, the wife of the director of Kyoto General Hospital can only be me!’
’In this life, I will definitely rise above everyone else...’
The busy autumn harvest soon came to a close. Although the workers in the fields ate well every day, most were still exhausted to the point of haggardness. Even Jiang Yihua had lost a fair bit of weight.
Chi Yun’er didn’t do much else, simply buying some bones from the canteen to make a nourishing broth with some vegetables, or using the bone broth to cook noodles.
Soup didn’t keep well in the warm weather, so every time she made a large pot, many of the comrades on good terms with Jiang Yihua also got to enjoy some.
From time to time, they would bring her a wild rabbit, a pheasant, a packet of brown sugar, or a handful of candy as their contribution for the meals.
