Chapter 673: 673 attract

"Yeah, Jiang Xinyu is about to give birth."

The couple chatted while working, "Xiao Wei brought over a lot of good stuff. Tonight, we’ll have meat pancakes. Xiao Jiang is really good at making them.

Back then, Xiao Wei would always shamelessly come over to eat, and I would tag along."

Zhao Xiaoli smirked quietly. Jiang Xinyu is so nice; at that time, Wei Kaiyun must have been shamelessly persistent, right?

Old Yang saw his wife laughing, and knew exactly what she was laughing about.

"Xiao Wei sure is clever; Jiang Xinyu didn’t stand a chance to escape."

"Yeah, I could see that."

The couple were chatting happily, unaware that not far away, Huang Ying’s heart was stirred.

Just saw Wei Kaiyun; who knew there could be such a handsome man?

No, I have to ask about him. I feel like I’m in love. Really liked that man from earlier.

But then she thought that Zhao Xiaoli probably wouldn’t tell her.

She looked at Sister-in-law Lan, who was the fastest talker in the village and was weeding nearby.

"Sister-in-law, do you know who that was earlier?"

Lan Hua glanced at Huang Ying, thinking to herself how she disapproved of her. Is this how city people are?

"I don’t know either, but maybe he’s a friend of Old Yang’s?"

Huang Ying thought to herself, that’s probably it. This man clearly isn’t from around here, I heard them speaking Mandarin earlier.

It’s not just Huang Ying with springtime thoughts; many young girls in the village were also very curious.

"Zhao Zhiqing, who was that guy earlier?"

"Oh, he’s a friend of our Old Yang."

"Where is he from? Why haven’t we seen him before?"

Zhao Xiaoli realized what was going on, smirking, "He’s already married and they have three kids. His wife is about to give birth now."

Everyone listened. Hearing this news, they were all quite disappointed. How could such a good man already be married with kids?

Huang Ying also heard Zhao Xiaoli’s words and felt a chill in her heart. How could the man she was interested in be married?

She simply threw down her hoe, squatted down; she felt quite defeated.

"Zhao Zhiqing, that guy looked so good. His wife must be really beautiful, right?"

Although Huang Ying was squatting there, she pricked up her ears to listen.

"His wife? She’s Lv Zhiqing’s aunt, you know? She’s visited our village before."

The village women hadn’t seen Jiang Xinyu, but Huang Ying had. Thinking of that woman, Huang Ying pouted internally, she’s not even as pretty as me, how does she have such good fortune?

Right, maybe I still have a chance? Wouldn’t men prefer young and pretty? As for those three kids, let that woman take them away. I can have children too, and they’ll definitely be prettier than hers.

"You all don’t know, Teacher Jiang is a college graduate, she was a factory director before, but she came here because of the two kids." Zhao Xiaoli wanted to clarify Jiang Xinyu’s worth.

"A college graduate? That’s quite impressive."

"Indeed, Teacher Jiang was quite capable where we were from."

The onlookers suddenly lost interest; hearing about her accomplishments made them feel a bit intimidated.

But Huang Ying was thinking, that handsome man must feel oppressed. Isn’t that woman just more educated? She’s not even pretty. No, I have to find a way to get close to him, to let him know how good I am.

But how to get close to him? No, I must find a way to stay at Zhao Xiaoli’s house. I need to go there tonight. I have to fight for myself.

Wei Kaiyun was unaware that a crazy woman had such thoughts about him; if he knew, he’d surely be disgusted.

Actually, Wei Kaiyun wasn’t as handsome as Lv Beiguang, but Lv Guodong and Lv Jingchu were older, so no matter how good-looking he was, age-wise it didn’t work out.

The current gossip in the field was all about Wei Kaiyun. They could talk and think about him even if nothing else could be done.

Old Yang worked nearby, laughing internally. Xiao Wei was still so appealing to women; he wondered how Xiao Jiang would react knowing this?

He hadn’t seen Xiao Wei taken down a peg in a while, truly looking forward to it.

After Wei Kaiyun drove home, he told Jiang Xinyu, worried she might go into labor early, so the car was kept nearby for convenience.

Shang Zhenkun was smoking meat, a task he enjoyed doing. After the two boys came back, they followed him around.

Jiang Feifei willingly made room for her dad. In her father’s eyes, there was only her mother.

"Do we need to pick up Lv Beiguang in a few days?"

"Old Yang said they’d cycle over, and he’d drive them.

I’m not going anywhere, just staying by your side."

"I’m really fine."

Wei Kaiyun wouldn’t listen at all; his wife had to be where he could see her, otherwise, it wouldn’t do.

With some time until dinner, Wei Kaiyun went to the melon patch for a walk. The kids knew this was Teacher Jiang’s melon patch, so no one came to cause trouble. If anyone accidentally wandered too close, they’d be warned off.

Dinner was dumplings with chives and meat. Jiang Xinyu had Sister-in-law Liu add shrimp paste, which made the flavor even fresher.

The whole family ate a lot, so it was rare for them all to go for a walk in the evening.

Jiang Xinyu felt pleased looking at the carrot seedlings in the private plot. In truth, carrots don’t taste particularly good, with many people not liking them. In her past life, Jiang Xinyu didn’t like them either, but it wasn’t up to her to choose back then; having food already was a blessing.

"Mom, why are you so happy?"

"These are carrots. You can eat them in the fall, and they’re very nutritious."

Jiang Feifei knew about carrots. Judging from her mother’s tone, she would be expected to eat them, and that was troubling; she hated their taste.

"Mom, are they tasty?" Shi Jing asked, looking up.

"I find them quite tasty, but you’ll have to try them yourself to know."

"Aunt Jiang, look at how well the watermelons are growing. I feel like they’ve gotten bigger since yesterday."

Jiang Xinyu looked at the lush green watermelon field and felt quite satisfied.

"We’ll be able to eat the watermelon later. Our cellar is great, so we might even be able to enjoy watermelon in winter."

"Really?"

"I don’t know either, but we’ll find out this year by trying.

Speaking of which, how are the cantaloupes and honeydews?"

Wei Kaiyun pointed in another direction, "Over there, they’re already bearing fruit."

"Wife, when you were in college, did you have seeds from the cantaloupes you ate there?"

Jiang Xinyu smacked her forehead, "Yes, I have. I totally forgot. They say pregnancy makes you silly for three years. I wonder if it’s too late to try now?"

"What if they don’t ripen in time?"

"Just cover them with mulch. No harm in trying. Even if they don’t ripen, they’re still edible, just not sweet."

"Great, I’ll go home and find them. We can plant them tomorrow morning, no need to germinate them?"

"Shouldn’t be necessary; the temperature isn’t an issue now."

"Wei Kaiyun, the cotton is growing really well. But I wonder how many bolls it will produce? But looking at these plants, they seem quite robust."
