Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 371 Jealousy

Everyone spoke up immediately, "Help each other, help each other, there is no need to worry about anything, Miss Jiang Yu, let's tolerate each other for the next period of time."

Jiang Yu said okay, and then got on car number one with Fu Biao and the others.

The clock strikes 8 o'clock and the truck sets off from outside the construction team.

The construction team is located on the northernmost border of our country, and they are preparing to move south along the coastline.

After Jiang Yu got on the car, he didn't say much to anyone. He just sat in a corner and closed his eyes to rest.

Xiao Xiong and Fu Biao were similar, but Fu Biao had to drive and needed to switch shifts with the driver in the second half of the night, so the job of chatting with the driver fell on Xiong Lijin.

Xiong Lijin sat next to the driver, looking at the hazy mountains in the night, and suddenly asked the driver, "Tengzi, when are you going to find a wife?"

Fujiko didn't expect him to ask such a question out of the blue. After being stunned for a moment, she replied, "My mother is already helping me find one. Thanks to the job you guys provided for us, Brother Xiong, my mother is now more confident in front of the matchmaker."

When he was in the army, the people who introduced him were very nice to him, but after he was discharged from the army and returned home, the compliments suddenly disappeared.

This made Fujiko's mother angry for a long time. She felt that those people were just snobs. Fortunately, she did not agree, otherwise the daughter-in-law she found would be of unknown quality.

Fujiko had been discharged from the army for several months but had not found a good job. The factories in the city all had their own fleets. After all, he had not been in the army for long and his academic performance was not good, so he had nowhere to go.

Fortunately, a motorcade was established two years ago. Not only had he served in the army, but he could also drive. With the introduction of his former squad leader, he successfully joined the motorcade and got a job to support his family.

Once he turned things around, the matchmakers started to treat him well again, but Tengzi's mother was no longer as easy to fool as before. She even learned to summarize the matchmakers' introductions and successfully filtered out a lot of the bad ones from the bunch of fancy flattery.

Before he left this time, his mother said that she would introduce him to a good girl when he came back, so he left this time with a mission. His mother asked him to prepare some local specialties to facilitate future interactions with the girl's family.

Xiong Lijin exclaimed, "Really? Doesn't that mean good things are coming? Of course, Tengzi, you're lucky." It's great to have a mother who is willing to worry and work hard for him.

Tengzi chuckled foolishly.

Jiang Yu opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Xiong Lijin who was full of envy, and felt amused.

Does he envy the other person for having a wife, or does he envy the other person's mother?

Fu Biao's breathing changed slightly for a moment, and then returned to calm the next second without even lifting his eyelids.

Xiong Lijin whispered to Tengzi about marriage, what to prepare, what gifts would be good to give to girls, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues that most men cannot avoid.

They chatted back and forth for most of the night, and they were still not satisfied until Fu Biao woke up.

"Okay, okay, we've been talking all night, and you two aren't thirsty. Tengzi, stop the car and let's change." Fu Biao heard them talking about gift-giving before he fell asleep. After waking up, he heard them still talking about what girls like. He felt it was too embarrassing to watch. Fortunately, Jiang Yu was already asleep, otherwise who knows how he would laugh at Xiong Lijin.

How much you hate to be married!

Tengzi uttered an "ah" and then flashed his headlights twice to alert the second car behind.

After the car stopped, those who were still awake got out and moved around.

After sitting in the car for a long time, my knees and waist feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Yu also got out of the car and looked around in the dim light.

Fu Biao changed into a jacket that was convenient for driving. When he saw Jiang Yu standing nearby, he looked over curiously, but he saw nothing.

"Anything?" he asked.

Jiang Yu shook her head, "It was just a little quiet." But she didn't hear any other noises. Maybe that was normal? Was there a wild animal passing by?

Fu Biao said, "There are often trucks going back and forth on this road at night. It's okay."

"Okay." Jiang Yu said he understood.

As they were talking, lights came on on the opposite side, one on the left and one on the right, and it was obvious that a car was coming.

Everyone watched the car drive past them, then got back in their cars and headed towards their first destination.

The next day, everyone in the team heard about Jiang Yu's departure. Those who had been dealt with by Jiang Yu suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if the mountain pressing down on their heads had been removed.

Those who had benefited from the ginger fish were curious about where the ginger fish had gone.

"It's a home visit leave. I'll be back soon." Zhuang Shouren did not hide it. Jiang Yu has been in the countryside for several years. Isn't it normal to take a home visit leave?

Those who had just straightened their chests paused, then slowly exhaled the air stuck in their chests, "Aren't they going back to the city like Luo Zhiqing?"

"No, that's enough, stop crowding together and get to work!" Zhuang Shouren waved his hand and drove away everyone around him.

Grandma Yang let out a breath and pulled her grandson to work with some displeasure.

When others saw this, they couldn't help but sneer. Grandma Yang seemed to have forgotten the pain after the wound healed. Jiang Yu didn't leave. With such a big grudge against her, aren't you afraid that someone will go to her place and say something bad about you, making you suffer again?

The villagers walked towards the fields, chatting and laughing. After all, whether Jiang Yu was there or not really had little impact on them. She usually stayed at home and rarely went out. People didn't bother her, and she wouldn't cause trouble for others. Everyone just lived their own lives.

Only those who are jealous will keep staring at the people in the educated youth center.

However, there are not only jealous villagers, but also people with confused minds in the educated youth centers.

Although Ma Yanna also coveted Jiang Yu's food, she knew how terrible Jiang Yu was, so she only dared to look around the room from time to time. She had the desire but not the courage to do anything.

But Zhang Ming, who is driven crazy by poverty, is different.

Ever since he knew Jiang Yu had gone out, he couldn't help but look at the locked house. He knew there were a lot of good things in it, food, meat, quilts, and even firewood piled under the eaves at the door. This educated young woman Jiang had a rich family background. Although he had no intersection with her, they lived face to face, so it was not difficult for him to find out these things.

As for himself, he didn't have enough food to eat and enough clothes to wear every day. Fortunately, the weather was getting warmer now, otherwise he really wanted to steal other people's clothes.

But even if he wasn't cold anymore, he was still hungry. Why did the educated youth across the street eat rice with meat every day? Why?

Even Miss Wu Xiaoxiao doesn’t have that much money to buy meat, so why should she?

Zhang Ming glanced at the backyard with his peripheral vision. He had to plan carefully how to get what he wanted without being discovered by other educated youth.
