"That's right, I have some vegetable seeds here, I'll share some with you."
The other people were also discussing what the two of them were talking about.
Gao Le: "Do you grow vegetables?"
His eyes seemed to say, "Grow them and I'll pick some when I need them."
Zhao Su said with a straight face: "Do I look like I know how to grow vegetables? Two work points."
Gao Le was unconvinced: "It's only two centimeters, and you're getting cocky!"
On the other side, the sycophant following Bai Yunjiao patted his chest and guaranteed: "Bai Zhiqing, leave your private plot to me, I'll help you grow vegetables!"
Bai Yunjiao looked at the man in front of her with soft eyes, her tone full of gratitude: "Thank you, Ma Zhiqing, you're such a good person."
Turning her head, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes. She's been here for so long and earns so few work points every day, and he's helping me.
She almost rolled her eyes.
But if there's a sucker helping her, why not take it?
Xu Laidi cursed Song Wei and Li Juan over and over again in her heart, but in the end, she still sheepishly went to the backyard to plan her three-tenths of land.
After all, she didn't want to go hungry.
Three other male educated youths shared the same concern.
Li Juan also took advantage of the moonlight to tidy up her backyard, planning to follow Song Wei's advice and start cutting bamboo in the mountains tomorrow to build a bamboo fence for her private plot, to prevent shameless bastards like Xu Laidi from stealing vegetables from her yard again after this period.
Xu Laidi snorted when she saw Li Juan, but Li Juan pretended not to notice.
The next day, Song Wei woke up when the village's work gong sounded. She came out and saw Luo Yecheng talking to Liu Linlin.
She went straight over.
"Educated Youth Luo, you're getting married next month, right?"
Luo Yecheng, hearing her mention this, thought Song Wei had changed her mind and was jealous. He knew Song Wei couldn't suddenly stop loving him.
Liu Linlin, however, looked sad, her gaze towards Luo Yecheng filled with sorrow.
She and Luo Yecheng were sent to the countryside in the same batch. On the train, she had a strong liking for this scholarly man, and when she learned that they were assigned to the same place, she felt it was fate.
But what she didn't expect was that Luo Yecheng would eventually choose to marry a village girl.
Of course, in Liu Linlin's heart, it was all Jiang Xiaowan's fault. That bitch! She was the one who clung to Luo Yecheng, yet she spread rumors that she and Luo Yecheng were together, forcing Luo Yecheng to marry her.
Now she was the one who prevented Liu Linlin from being with Luo Yecheng. If it weren't for Jiang Xiaowan's several brothers and her father, who was the village secretary, Liu Linlin would have stormed over!
"Song Wei, you know I..."
"Don't flatter yourself. It's been so many days, where are my tickets?"
Luo Yecheng's words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
His expression turned ugly. Song Wei had actually come to him for the tickets. He had always thought she was joking, just being jealous and throwing a tantrum.
"Song Wei, don't act rashly. We can talk this out."
He had no tickets to give him; they'd all been used long ago, especially the bicycle ticket, which he'd sent back home. He'd planned to have his family use it to try and find a job to bring him back to the city.
But jobs were hard to find these days, and even if they did, getting him back wouldn't be easy.
In the end, he'd given them the bicycle ticket, but no job or return to the city seemed to be happening.
It was a complete loss, a double blow.
Where was he going to get Song Wei a bicycle ticket?
Song Wei crossed her arms and casually tapped her chin with her finger.
"Can't come up with it? Then I'll just have to wait until your wedding and ask your father-in-law if he's willing to help pay it back. Also, I'm in a bad mood if I don't get the ticket, so you'd better not hang around me, or I might want to slap you."
After threatening Luo Yecheng, Song Wei ignored his ugly expression and turned to go to work.
Liu Linlin stopped her: "Song Zhiqing, don't you think you've gone too far? You gave those things to Luo Zhiqing willingly, and now you're going back on your word and demanding they be returned. Your character is really bad."
Liu Linlin suddenly rushed over and got very close to Song Wei, but Song Wei was taller, so she tilted her head back to enhance her imposing manner.
Song Wei pressed a finger against her forehead: "Stand back, I don't want people to misunderstand and say we have some kind of improper relationship."
Gao Le and Zhao Su, who happened to be coming out, chuckled: "Pfft...
cough cough cough...this girl really dares to say anything."
Liu Linlin took two steps back, not understanding what she meant.
But before she could figure it out, Song Wei asked her in return: "What's my relationship with Luo Yecheng?"
Liu Linlin subconsciously retorted: "You two have no relationship whatsoever!"
Song Wei nodded: "See, you said you have no relationship whatsoever. Since we have no relationship, do you really think he, a grown man, would dare to accept something I give him?"
She turned to ask the two big idiots behind her who were listening intently to watch the show.
"If I gave you something, would you dare to accept it?"
The two idiots shook their heads in unison.
Gao Le, head held high and chest puffed out, said proudly, "I'm always the one giving things to others. It's so tasteless to accept something from a girl."
Zhao Su nodded in full agreement, "My mom said that if a girl gives me a gift without any connection, she must be after something from me. Since I can't give girls what they want, I should never accept their gifts."
Song Wei gave them both an approving look, making the two idiots grin with pride.
Luo Yecheng's face had already turned ashen.
Song Wei glanced at Liu Linlin, "Did you hear that? I only gave those votes because I thought he liked me too. Since he doesn't like me, why did he accept my votes?"
Then, despite her delicate appearance, she exuded a queenly aura and directly pushed past Liu Linlin's hand that was blocking her way and left.
With the show over, Gao Le and Zhao Su quickly left as well, "Song Zhiqing, wait for us, let's go to work together~"
Liu Linlin was somewhat lost in thought, as if two people were arguing in her mind, one saying that Song Wei was right, and the other saying that Luo Zhiqing must have his reasons.
"Brother Luo..."
Luo Yecheng was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to her at all. He even thought Liu Linlin was too useless. She was rendered speechless by Song Wei in just a few words. Wasn't she usually so capable?
"We should go to work."
Liu Linlin looked at his departing figure with complicated eyes. She had never thought about it before, but now she suddenly felt that what Song Wei said seemed to make some sense.
No!
Liu Linlin quickly shook her head. Luo Zhiqing was such a good person. He only accepted Song Wei's help because of his predicament. He would never be that kind of person.
After convincing herself, Liu Linlin quickly chased after him again: "Luo Zhiqing, wait for me."
