Chapter 287: Being targeted

The difference between educated youths who go to the countryside and young girls from the village can be distinguished at a glance.

Xiang Nanrong turned around and saw the two girls behind him, and knew that they were female educated youths.

They are both from the city, and the female educated youths are quite capable of chatting with each other without getting to know each other in depth.

Within a few minutes, the atmosphere between the three of them became intimate.

Xu Caixia took Chang Ping and led Xiang Nanrong to the job of washing radishes. She carried the wooden basin to Tan Zhengping, who was in charge of another mud stove next to Zhou Haoran, and asked for hot water.

"Other ladies can wash it with cold water, but you two are so squeamish!"

Tan Zhengping was cursing, but he opened the lid of the pot and poured hot water into the basin.

Originally, there were only five educated youths in Shanjiao Village. After Zhou Haoran got married, he moved into the Shen family, and after Chu Paner's accident, he married again.

The three of them were the only ones left in the huge educated youth spot.

No matter how little we interact with each other on weekdays, we are still more familiar with each other than others.

Xu Caixia and Chang Ping also knew what kind of person Tan Zhengping was, and they were not angry even after being spoken to by him. They carried the wooden basin filled with hot water, thanked him with a smile, and walked away.

Eating butchered pig vegetables, not to mention talking about educated youth, just saying a few words like a joke, even if they really cursed, they would be happy.

Xiang Nanrong walked behind Xu and Chang, and glanced back, recalling in her mind the watch on Zhengping's wrist when he raised his hand to scoop out water and his attire.

When she arrived at the place where vegetables were washed, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is that young man just now also an educated youth?"

Chang Ping hummed and said no more. He just lowered his head and concentrated on cleaning the mud from the radish.

"They are educated youths who came to the countryside in the same group as us." Xu Caixia answered from the side, "Educated youths talk loudly but have a good heart. They usually take good care of me and Xiaoping."

Xiang Nanrong's heart moved, and she continued to ask: "I only heard you mention talking about educated youth, who else do you educated youth point out?"

"They!" Xu Caixia, a fellow educated youth, was not on guard and replied: "Originally there were two educated youths, but I hope... Chu educated youth got married and Zhou educated youth also moved out."

"Zhou educated youth?" Xiang Nanrong asked doubtfully: "Is your educated youth community very small? Why did you move out with only four people?"

As soon as she asked, she heard Tan Zhengping, who had just given them hot water, shout loudly: "Old Zhou, you ******!"

Xiang Nanrong turned around and looked around. Tan Zhiqing, whom he had just met, was holding a gourd and ladle in one hand and holding the man who stood out from the crowd with the other.

Lao Zhou...Zhou?

She pointed to the person over there who raised her eyebrows and joked with Tan Zhengping and asked, "Is that Zhou Zhiqing?"

Chang Ping raised his head and took a quick look without saying anything. Xu Caixia stopped what she was doing, looked over, and nodded:

"Yes, that's Zhou Zhiqing. He and Tan Zhiqing are both from the capital. A car came to pick up his grandfather some time ago."

Hearing what she said, Chang Ping finally raised his head and took a deep look at Xiang Nanrong, and then said to Xu Caixia:

"Stop chatting, Sister-in-law Lihua is here to look over."

Xu Caixia glanced not far away after hearing this, and happened to meet the eyes of Yang Lihua, who was frowning at this side.

She shrunk her shoulders, not daring to chat anymore, and her hand movements were more than twice as fast.

Only Xiang Nanrong was still looking at the two people joking and joking over there, thoughtfully.

Zhou Haoran was talking to Tan Zhengping about asking him to come to his house for dinner in the evening, when he keenly felt an inexplicable sight.

He looked over according to his feeling, and when he saw it was a young girl he didn't recognize, he immediately looked away.

Tan Zhengping was confused as to why he stopped while he was talking. He also looked over and saw the three people he had just seen, so he said:

"Are you looking at Xiao Chang and Xiao Xu?! Lao Zhou, don't make a mistake! With my sister-in-law's temper, if you know that you have second thoughts, I'm afraid your legs will be broken when you go back!"

Zhou Haoran withdrew his gaze and glared at him. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Shen Auguste's voice:

"Dad, Uncle Tan, what does 'having two minds' mean? Why did dad's legs get broken?"

The two adults looked down and saw four little children standing in a row in front of them.

From left to right, they are Zhou Mingda’s son Xiao Shitou, Zhou Huacheng and Wang Dongxue’s daughter Zhou Nannan, and then the twins.

Looking at the four ignorant little people, Zhou Haoran said nothing. Tan Zhengping bent down and looked around:

"Why are you here? Go back inside and play. The stove is dangerous, so don't get too close."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lard boiling in the pot next door suddenly exploded, causing the two people guarding the stove to jump back in shock.

Tan Zhengping nodded his chin in that direction, "You saw it, but you have to stay away, otherwise it will hit your little face, hiss - it will hurt!"

While the fourth child was looking over there, several sisters-in-law and aunties came out of the ancestral hall carrying diabolo baskets and pottery basins.

The person who started it was none other than Yang Taohua, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old Zhou family.

The few people didn't go anywhere else, but walked straight towards the pot of lard.

Yang Taohua glanced at the oil shuttle in the pot, and repeatedly ordered the two people guarding her to quench the oil and bring a clean basin to hold it.

As soon as the oil shuttle was served, all the children in the village, big or small, came over to ask for food.

Yang Taohua had no choice but to take out a bowl, sprinkle a thin layer of salt on it, glanced at the children watching, and handed it to the mistress.

"Little Sanzi, go and share it with these delicious ghosts, don't stand around here and get in the way!"

"Hey!" The young man took the overflowing bowl, turned around, and saw that the person had already run out of the encirclement. He raised his arms and shouted, "Anyone who wants to eat the oil shuttle, come with me~"

The children also cheered and ran towards the ancestral hall behind the mistress.

When Tan Zhengping saw this, he quickly spoke out, wanting to send the four little ones away:

"Go quickly and find your third brother. If you go and play, be careful not to eat your oil shuttle!"

Shen Baoyue held her fingers in her mouth and looked at the carambola over there, putting balls the size of table tennis balls into the oil pan, her red and tender mouth puckered.

"I don't want to eat the fried dumplings, I want to eat the dumplings made by Mother Peach Blossom!"

Hearing her figure, Yang Taohua, who was making balls over there, looked over and said with a smile:

"Oh, our little August is really good at eating! I'll call you after the fried fruits are fried. It's cold outside. You go back to the house with your brothers and sisters to play!"

After saying that, she said to Zhou Nannan: "Nanny, you are the elder sister. You should play well with your younger brothers and sisters~"

Zhou Nannan nodded sensibly, "Auntie, I know."

Several adults persuaded them to go back to the house to play. In addition, there were great-grandfathers in the ancestral hall who used charcoal pots to roast sweet potatoes for them to eat. The four little ones hesitated for a moment, then held hands and planned to go inside and wait.

However, before they could take a step forward, an unknown elder sister suddenly came over and said:

"Kids, be good, you are in danger here, my sister will take you to play -"

Xiang Nanrong had only finished speaking half of her words when the four children ran away hand in hand, completely ignoring her words.

Being ignored by several children, although the smile on Xiang Nanrong's face did not change, she was scolding the four children in her heart.
