I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 240 - 237: Fang Tao: I Really Want to Beat Up Jiang Jian Country
After lunch, my older brother cleaned up the mess and washed the dishes while my second brother wandered off.
Xiao Ran took Coal to rest; he still needed to study in the afternoon, and his brain should rest enough to be useful, as his sister said.
As for Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Zhenmei, these two were fiddling with needle and thread again.
Jiang Mingyue lingered at the kitchen door because she noticed that her big brother seemed a bit absent-minded today.
For instance, just a moment ago, if she hadn’t come in to brew some Guihua tea, she wouldn’t have discovered that this big brother was washing dishes and grabbing a handful of salt, then rubbing it around the bowls.
Is he marinating cured meat or salted fish?
"Ahem... Big Brother, do you need to use salt to wash dishes?"
The sudden voice startled Jiang Jian Country, causing him to slip, and the sturdy bowl completed a flight and roll into the water.
Fancy entry into the pot, is it fine?
"Yueyue..."
Jiang Mingyue didn’t miss the flustered look in the Big guy’s eyes, plus his ears turned red.
Jiang Mingyue didn’t think this was due to embarrassment, as it wasn’t to that extent, and besides, being a village leader for a few months, she knew her big brother was quite exceptional.
So, does Big Brother have a situation?
Thinking of how Third Sister whispered to her secretly in the morning, saying that Big Brother returned yesterday with a rosy face, she hadn’t seen it herself, but it certainly wasn’t ordinary.
So, her real brother and her best friend definitely have something going on.
Jiang Mingyue squinted her eyes, knowing it was useless to ask, so she didn’t linger. If she stood there, he might sell the bowls, and then Mrs. Jiang would feel distressed.
Watching his sister leave the kitchen, Jiang Jian Country finally breathed a sigh of relief after she walked away.
He simply couldn’t wash the dishes anymore.
The words of that young girl when they parted yesterday still echoed in his ears, keeping him awake all night. If not for his dark farmer’s skin, he might have seen panda eyes like Xiao Ran said.
It’s just, he always believed that the girl was just acting on impulse and would forget it after she woke up.
He wants to take it seriously, but he doesn’t dare.
This state of mind troubled him all night, but fortunately, in the morning, his sister was thoughtful enough to warm his heart with a bowl of old duck soup noodles.
In the morning, he focused on a few issues while delivering public grain, constantly staying alert. Fortunately, he fulfilled his mission.
But on the way back, he got lost in thought again, especially when passing by Liu Village, where he took several more glances, but unfortunately, he didn’t see that young girl full of energy.
She probably really forgot!
Jiang Jian Country felt an unspeakable sense of melancholy.
Just now while washing dishes, he suppressed his melancholy, feeling a glimmer of hope, wanting to rush over regardless, but several times he only had the thought without the courage to put it into action, a voice deep inside him said: Forget it!
Xiao Ran said impulsivity is the devil.
Alright, take it slow, marriage is not a game. If he gets bitten by a snake again, no, that girl is definitely not a snake.
Jiang Jian Country was tangled here, little did he know that on the other side, Xia Xiaosi was also in a quandary.
But this distress was a completely different flavor from that of Jiang Jian Country.
Since returning yesterday, Miss Xia had been very excited, she wasn’t absent-minded, and she was as diligent as a little bee. She cleaned the entire yard at the commune point, and even scrubbed the pots and pans in the small kitchen until they were shiny.
Miss Xia was also like a little sun, still glowing even after the sun went down, Fang Tao suspected she encountered something supernatural on her outing. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
However, it’s said that no spirit should arise after the founding of the country, so surely there was no haunting.
Strange indeed!
But in the dead of night, Miss Xia’s distress came.
It’s nothing else, Xia Family’s Fourth Sister suddenly realized she had no decent clothes to wear.
What to wear tomorrow to register for marriage was a big issue.
Having lived here for a few months, she lived like a frugal farmwife, how could she work in the dress she brought? It didn’t look right, so Xia Xiaosi began learning needlework.
She forcibly turned a pretty dress into a grandpa’s suit.
A grandpa’s suit is fine, her presence could still be impressive with just her figure.
But the problem was that this transformation was hard to accept.
The aunts in the village felt it was an eyesore, saying even wearing a burlap sack was better than Xia Zhiqing’s alteration.
But Miss Xia felt it was okay.
She said it didn’t matter if it looked bad, she wasn’t marrying them after all.
No matter how ugly it was, it was still her hard work and effort.
She didn’t mind, so why were they complaining?
It’s just... she had never minded it before, but today, she finally realized her clothes.
If she went out wearing that tomorrow, it would leave a lifelong bad impression.
Xia Xiaosi tossed and turned in bed like a pancake, and her roommate was annoyed.
Sends a signal.
Xia Xiaosi immediately quieted and didn’t dare move.
But her mind kept churning, what to do?
In the moonlight, Fang Tao wore a grumpy face, as if the bromance would end if she couldn’t provide a reasonable explanation.
But a quarter of an hour later, Fang Tao’s jaw almost dropped.
He widened his eyes, as if meeting this childhood friend for the first time.
What did she say? Register for marriage tomorrow?
And the partner for registration was Yuebao’s big brother?
Heavens! Either she had gone mad or he had.
How could things suddenly be like this?
Not that Yuebao’s big brother was bad.
But the girl he had seen grow up with care... oh psh! More or less like he watched her grow up, and she goes out and returns, and she’s already marrying herself off?
Don’t you think this is bizarre?
Fang Tao was no longer sleepy.
What’s grumpy morning face?
Fang Tao was about to explode.
If Jiang Mingyue were present, she would definitely think it was Jurassic times returning, with a baby tyrannosaurus wearing vintage clothing.
Absolutely a real tyrannosaurus!
Fang Tao wanted to run a thousand times to beat up Jiang Jian Country.
But he backed out a thousand times.
Nothing else, Yuebao certainly wouldn’t allow it.
Yuebao would cut ties with him.
Whether it was the full moon on August 1st, or the gentle wind tonight.
In the morning, Xia Xiaosi wore a green, fitting dress, and the auntie who was pouring out wash water was taken aback when she saw Xia Xiaosi.
"Eh! Girl, this dress looks nice, finally fits you."
In other words, you’re finally not wearing clothes less than a burlap sack out.
The auntie genuinely complimented: "Nice, nice!"
Xia Xiaosi thought it looked nice too.
Thinking: Fang Tao’s needlework isn’t bad, as they say, he’s like a little crab on the beach, poke him, and he moves, didn’t know he had such talents before.
If Fang Tao knew that after slaving the entire latter half of the night, gave her one of his new clothes to alter smaller, and it led to this realization from Xia Xiaosi, he would probably cough up blood in frustration.
Accompanying her on the mountain in the cold wind, if not for gathering a bunch of firewood, he really wanted to beat her up.
In his whole life, his family had never bossed him around like this.
Today was Xia Xiaosi’s big day, she had Fang Tao ask for leave for her, so no work today.
Early in the morning, she waited at the village entrance, but no matter how eagerly she awaited, that person didn’t appear.
By logic, this was the only way from Qingshan Village to the commune, and Jiang Jian Country should pass by today with the grain delivery team to deliver public grain, so they should meet.
Although they both didn’t know about this.
But things ended up like this anyway.
