Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 659 dating

Since the roof had already been replaced, Chen Hui and the others slept a bit longer.

He had already instructed Ding Xiaojuan to borrow the adobe mold from the brigade.

By two o’clock, the five of them went out with their tools again.

Ding Xiaojuan stayed home and took out pen and paper to write down the necessities for her household.

The first one was a cast iron pot. She wrote them out one by one, and finally, Ding Xiaojuan sighed. There were so many; usually, she didn’t feel it, but now she really felt the old saying was true: a broken home is worth a fortune, it’s spot on.

Although there’s quite a lot needed, it shouldn’t cost much, and the two of them could still afford it. The most expensive items would be the iron pot, the kitchen knife, and the lock.

By three o’clock, Ding Xiaojuan also carried her shovel and went out. This was work for her own home, and she felt it was necessary to be involved.

Their speed was very fast; there was already a large pile of adobe bricks on the ground.

Six people working and chatting made it less tiring.

By five o’clock, Ding Xiaojuan went back to make dinner: sorghum rice soup and fried pickled vegetables.

There was meat at noon, so she didn’t steam egg custard. Instead, she added two eggs, and the rest would be saved for everyone’s lunch tomorrow.

This way, they could manage to have something meaty for two days.

Wu Hong didn’t go out in the afternoon; she just lay in the house. She actually wanted to help, but she knew they wouldn’t use her.

She lay alone on the kang, feeling very bored. Seeing Huang Ying’s luggage and thinking about what she saw in the morning, she felt a lot of disdain for Huang Ying.

Is she sticking to the son of the Party Secretary’s family? But that silly boy seems quite focused on Huang Ying; just not sure if the Party Secretary’s family would agree?

The Party Secretary’s wife is very powerful. Wu Hong thought gleefully about Huang Ying and hoped Huang Ying wouldn’t end up with nothing.

Truly, what is she thinking? Zhou Zhenjiang is not a good person; his dad is the Party Secretary and is quite a tyrant in this secluded village. Although he hasn’t reached the point of oppressing people, he doesn’t do proper business and teases young girls.

Zhou Zhenjiang once pursued Lv Jingchu persistently, and it was Old Yang who intervened to make him behave.

With someone like that, even someone as plain-looking as herself knows not to provoke him. What is Huang Ying thinking?

At this time, Zhou Zhenjiang and Huang Ying were talking and laughing together.

He was warned by Old Yang not to target the educated youths, but this wasn’t his initiative; this woman approached him.

Zhou Zhenjiang is handsome and liked by many girls in the village, so he could see the admiration in Huang Ying’s eyes.

This isn’t his problem. Marrying an educated youth is quite nice, at least they are city people.

Huang Ying thought it over last night and finally chose Zhou Zhenjiang. He was already handsome, not as much as Lv Guodong, but his family is good, being the son of the Party Secretary. If she really got married into the family, she could at least get some easy tasks in the future.

So she came over after breakfast to bump into Zhou Zhenjiang. They really ran into each other; the two even had lunch at a local family’s house, cooked by the man but still better than her own cooking.

This family was left with one young man, so everyone would gather there.

Bringing Huang Ying in, she received some whistles from the young men.

Zhou Zhenjiang smiled; bringing out an educated youth was quite impressive. Even though Huang Ying isn’t as pretty as Lv Jingchu, she’s better looking than the village girls.

There were five young men, and Huang Ying was the only girl. She felt quite scared but gained some confidence, thinking Zhou Zhenjiang brought her here.

"Huang Educated Youth, are you seeing our Brother Jiang?" A young fellow teased Huang Ying.

The other three immediately stirred up trouble upon hearing this.

Lowering her head, Huang Ying did not speak, feeling contempt towards them; they really lacked manners.

Actually, these boys didn’t have any ill intentions; they were just making a fuss for fun.

Seeing Huang Ying silently lowering her head and not refuting, Zhou Zhenjiang smiled.

"Huang Educated Youth, come sit inside, let’s chat. I don’t know much about you, and now that we’re friends, we should talk more."

Huang Ying nodded and followed Zhou Zhenjiang inside.

Suddenly, Zhou Zhenjiang turned back and instructed, "Serve lunch and let Huang Educated Youth eat here; you guys go and get some good food."

"Sure thing, let’s clear the place for you." After speaking, they left laughing loudly.

Huang Ying’s face grew even redder. Although she considered herself mature, she was still young and hadn’t been teased like this before.

"Huang Educated Youth, would you like some water?" Zhou Zhenjiang was being particularly warm.

"No, I’m not thirsty."

"Huang Educated Youth, I know you’re from D Province. Who’s all in your family?"

"Parents, younger siblings. I’m the second. My older brother is already working."

"So your family has three workers; that’s really impressive."

Huang Ying shook her head, "No, only my dad and my brother are working; my mom stays home to take care of us."

Seeing Huang Ying’s attire, Zhou Zhenjiang could tell that her family’s situation was ordinary.

"You’ve been here for over a year now, how do you find it?"

Lowering her head, Huang Ying said, "It’s tough, but I’m slowly adapting."

"Oh? Life here is quite different from city life, isn’t it?"

"Yes, buying things is inconvenient, and it’s tiring; the meals aren’t great either."

Laughing, Zhou Zhenjiang said, "Indeed, physical work is very demanding for young girls like you."

Lowering her head more, Huang Ying remained silent. It’s not just demanding; it’s life-threatening. The hardest and most exhausting work is farming, where the effort and reward have no proportion at all.

"By the way, it’s your day off; why are you alone?"

"The educated youths Chen Hui and Ding Xiaojuan have decided to get married. They bought Old Xing’s house and are working today."

"That’s a joyful event, two educated youths bonding. They must have common ground."

"Yes, it’s quite nice."

"Huang Educated Youth, don’t you have such thoughts?"

Huang Ying raised her head to glance at Zhou Zhenjiang and then shyly lowered it, "I want to find someone I like."

Seeing this bashful Huang Ying, Zhou Zhenjiang felt a rush of heat; her shy glance at him must mean she likes him, right? He’s handsome, many girls like him; he knew her earlier gaze was of affection.

"Huang Educated Youth, what kind do you like?"

Raising her head again to look at Zhou Zhenjiang, Huang Ying’s face grew redder.

More certain now, Zhou Zhenjiang knew Huang Ying liked him.

"Huang Ying, do you think I’m okay? I really like you. Can we date?"
