Zhang Qingfang's straightforwardness and kindness were well-known, probably stemming from her unique family upbringing. 。He imagined that Zhang Qingfang's family background must be extraordinary, and...To avoid causing trouble for the kind old woman, Jiang Yu changed the subject, asking about the surrounding buildings and rental situation. She kept chatting until things calmed down there before politely excusing herself and slowly leaving, drifting further and further away from the struggling old man. 。
Lao Zhang lived in a dilapidated shack. This violence had deeply wounded him, leaving him weak and lying on the broken bed, filled with despair.
However, as his hand touched a hard object, he sat up in surprise, finding a brand-new red hardcover book with a postage stamp inside, along with several banknotes and ration coupons. 。The old man closed his eyes, revealing a hint of contentment, then wept silently, as if he had found hope in life. 。After a long journey, Jiang Yu returned to the village tiredly, holding a little kitten in her arms, but her thoughts drifted to the old man who was suffering. 。She wondered if she had conveyed enough information, making him understand the value of survival. Perhaps those seemingly insignificant stamps were a lifetime treasure for him. 。In the silent village of intellectuals, the men were nowhere to be seen. Zhang Qingfang's room was shut tight, and she was alone inside, whether asleep or engaged in something unknown. 。Jiang Yu gently pushed open the door and was immediately attracted by the plant stuck in a bottle. Its emerald leaves were dotted with fruits like little red lanterns. They weren't as soft as cherries, but had a slight hardness. This was oleaster, a wild, sweet-and-sour fruit rich in calcium. Jiang Yu loved it dearly; it was one of her favorite wild fruits. 。The little cat by the window was lazily basking in the sun. When it heard Jiang Yu's movement, it jumped up alertly. It wanted to come closer and rub against its owner, but it stopped just one step away from Jiang Yu. Its round eyes stared at her, letting out a soft call. 。Jiang Yu ignored him and turned to select a discarded willow basket from the yard that Zhang Changqing used to practice his craft. She lined it with several layers of padding and old towels, then carefully transferred the kitten from her arms to the basket. 。"Little fellow, don't bully it, oh. When it grows up, I'll find a proper way to deal with it." 。She had already reached an agreement with Song Weihong. For the safety of the cat, she decided to take care of it herself. 。The cat seemed to understand, meowed at Jiang Yumu once, sniffed around the basket for a long time, and finally burrowed into Jiang Yumu's arms, acting coquettishly. Then it lay quietly by the side of the basket, looking very well-behaved. 。Jiang Yu simply washed up, then lay down on the bed, exhausted. She quickly fell asleep. 。When she woke up, the sun was already setting, casting light from the side and illuminating the willow basket containing the kittens. Jiang Yu smiled, thinking to herself, "I actually have a 'pet' that others would envy," and it was a pair of... 。Outside the door, He Jian Guo knocked and called out, "Ranan, wake up for lunch!" 。Upon hearing the sound, He Jianguo hurried over and embraced her tightly, lowering his head to gaze at her face that was not yet fully awake. 。"When are you coming back How was your trip there" 。He Jian Guo lightly patted the other person's shoulder, his anticipation overflowing. He originally thought she would only stay for one night, but unexpectedly, she lingered for two days. 。Jiang Yu whispered in his ear, sharing the experience of that unexpected adventure - their story of stealing corn and the hidden secret. 。When it came to matters of space, she chose to keep them secret. Everything else, however, she revealed with sincerity. 。"We did the right thing at the time, but there were also some oversights. After all, I was just an occasional visitor, a stranger, yet I received the same rewards." 。They may not realize the problem yet, but they might complain later. 。He Jian Guo calmly analyzed the situation, gently placing her on the edge of the kang and offering her understanding and protection, but never attempting to restrict her freedom. 。"I also considered it, but if I don't make my stance clear, they might be even more uneasy inside." 。Jiang Yan lowered her eyes, allowing the large hand to coil around her waist like a vine. The grip was tight, but it brought with it a warmth tinged with heat. 。"When necessary, it is indeed important to make them understand our determination and give them some reassurance. Rest assured, once I've dealt with this matter here, aren't we still going to return the cat to its original place" 。He Jian Guo adjusted his posture, gently pulling her closer. His young wife, though still young, had a captivating figure. At this moment, he was in his prime. Every time her delicate body pressed against him, it proved too much for him to bear. But this man reveled in this delicate dance of temptation. 。Since that accidental skin contact, the woman's figure has been tantalizing him in his dreams with ever-changing appearances, often driving him to wash his clothes upon waking. It was this awakening of emotion that made him realize the depth of his feelings for her. 。The two of them were lost in a private conversation, as if they had forgotten the table before them. It wasn't until Zhang Changqing called out roughly twice more that they came to their senses, hastily separating and exiting the room. 。Jiang Yan noticed that Liao Jun was also present, but there seemed to be a subtle tension between him and Zhang Qingfang. Perhaps he didn't pass "Friends, I have something to take care of and need to go back first. The time is uncertain" 。Zhang Qingfang's eyes were red, like a startled rabbit. She looked around, intentionally avoiding Liao Jun, and suddenly announced this decision. 。Your behavior has disrupted the order. 。"Liao Jun's brows were tightly locked, his voice carrying an unquestionable severity. This was the first time he had shown such emotion in front of everyone." 。"Adding to the chaos That's my deeply rooted sense of belonging. My grandparents, parents and relatives are all going through hardship, and I should be by their side." 。Zhang Qingfang retorted with her head held high, her eyes blazing like a furious lioness, wishing to strike back at Liao Jun directly. 。Zhang Qingfang, can you be more rational Going back now will only add to their troubles. The help you can offer is too little. 。“Liao Jun grumbled dissatisfiedly, slammed his chopsticks down abruptly, his face darkened and menacing, making everyone feel uncomfortable to look at him. A tense silence descended upon the scene.” 。Jiang Yan, looking at the two people facing each other with hostility, roughly understood the ins and outs of the situation. Just as he was about to speak up to mediate, He Jianguo's finger lightly pressed down on his hand. 。Perhaps you should consult the Zhang family's opinion. If they let you go back, there must be their considerations. Otherwise, just let Zhang Qingfang stay here. 。He Jian Guo said calmly, obviously he had already known about this for some time. 。The Zhang family has been unusually quiet, clearly having given this much thought. Their current actions could be a test, or perhaps part of a larger plan. 。Although Liao Jun's words might seem out of place, they acted like a dose of cold water, reminding everyone to stay calm. 。"What he said about founding a nation is right, silence often means safety, your impulsiveness could easily cause trouble. 。
From a different perspective, maybe they intentionally kept you in the dark for protection. If you rush back, wouldn't that disappoint your family's worries Remember, sometimes silence speaks louder than words.
His words brought a subtle silence, only Jiang Yan fell into contemplation. 。
