Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 124 - 123: Gathering Information (380+ Monthly Tickets)

Many years of good brotherhood, but if He Xuebing hadn’t returned with Xia Xiao, it would have been fine. However, now that they had so coincidentally met, this fate, Gao Jiaxing could hardly be happy.

With Xia Xiao looking so carefree, laughing like a blooming flower, it made Gao Jiaxing—who had been agonizing throughout the New Year—look like a fool.

Gao Jiaxing just felt that Xia Xiao was laughing because of He Xuebing. Now that He Xuebing had returned, Xia Xiao must be very happy.

Upon reaching the production team, Xia Xiao said goodbye to both Gao Jiaxing and He Xuebing, waving as she headed toward the Youth Point.

As soon as she returned to the dorm, Dong Meihua got jealous again, "Xia Xiao, you actually came back with both He Xuebing and Gao Jiaxing."

Sure enough, whenever it involved He Xuebing, Dong Meihua would get uncomfortable. It was just like Feng Ying’s reactions to Secretary Li-related matters. However, these two were somewhat closer in the dorm, possibly because birds of a feather flock together.

"I just happened to meet Gao Jiaxing going to pick up He Xuebing," Xia Xiao still explained.

However, when Xia Xiao returned, Wang Aihua and Yang Xuehua were very welcoming. Even though Xia Xiao didn’t bring anything for her roommates, she thought about the eggs in her luggage; although they were from the previous day, they were laid by the chickens she raised in her space, and He Xuebing had said they were delicious, so they must be good.

Xia Xiao wanted to share them with everyone, but noticing the dorm atmosphere was different and remembering she and Feng Ying had fallen out before she went home, she withdrew her hand back into her luggage bag.

Thinking it over, there were nine eggs. She could give four to the Gao family, but as for Secretary Li, it was hard to say. Giving just one would seem stingy, but giving many would surely be rejected by Secretary Li.

As for how to distribute them in the dorm, Xia Xiao still didn’t know. The atmosphere seemed tense, not just between her and Feng Ying.

Xia Xiao could only put some candy on the table, saying, "I’ve got some candy here. Help yourselves if you want some; I’m stepping out for a bit."

Secretly placing the eggs back into her space, Xia Xiao smiled at everyone and left.

Dong Meihua said, "She must be heading to the team leader’s house."

Yang Xuehua looked at Dong Meihua and said, "Isn’t He Xuebing back? Aren’t you going to Director Li’s place?"

With a candy in her mouth, Dong Meihua asked Feng Ying, "Are you going?"

After Feng Ying nodded, Dong Meihua left with her.

From a distance, they saw Xia Xiao enter the Gao family’s house. Dong Meihua said, "See, I guessed right, didn’t I? Xia Xiao went to the team leader’s house."

"That’s fine. The better Xia Xiao is, the better for herself. If she competes with you for He Xuebing, you wouldn’t stand a chance against her," Feng Ying said.

Dong Meihua disagreed, "Director Li would never agree. Besides, she’s often with Gao Jiaxing, and the whole production team knows it. How could He Xuebing possibly want her? And aren’t you afraid that when it’s time to enlist in the army, Xia Xiao won’t be able to keep things under control?"

Feng Ying said, "Anyway, it’s not wrong for you to be cautious of Xia Xiao. Look at how she is now, in front of Sun Yuhua she does not fall short at all, and she’s even more captivating, more attractive than Sun Yuhua."

Xia Xiao didn’t hear these words; otherwise, a fight would surely have broken out. Now, having reached the Gao family’s home, Zheng Xianghong greeted her cheerfully, "Why not rest a bit, it must have been tiring sitting for so long."

Xia Xiao nodded, smiling and said, "I was thinking about my aunt and came to see you."

Zheng Xianghong was delighted to hear this and said, "Come in and sit down."

As soon as Xia Xiao entered, she saw Gao Jiaxing sitting there, looking intently at her. His gaze was too profound, and with the dim light in the room, Xia Xiao couldn’t discern the meaning behind it and chose not to investigate too closely.

"Auntie, I brought you four eggs that my mother cooked. I don’t have much to give, and we don’t have any local specialties where I’m from," Xia Xiao placed a bag with four eggs on the table.

"You should eat them yourself; why bring them here? Eggs are precious these days; you take them back and eat them," Zheng Xianghong shook her head, unwilling to accept Xia Xiao’s eggs.

Gao Jiaxing directly peeled one to eat. Zheng Xianghong immediately scolded, "You rascal, how could you eat Xia Xiao’s eggs."

Xia Xiao quickly stopped Zheng Xianghong, "Auntie, I’ll be upset if you’re so formal with me. What are a few eggs worth? Certainly, they can’t compare to our friendship. And when eating noodles at the restaurant, it was Brother Gao who used his food coupons. Coming back here, it was Brother Gao who drove me back. If we really start counting, it’s worth more than these four eggs."

"You came, and that’s enough, why bring anything? Auntie really doesn’t mean to make you do this every time," Zheng Xianghong said helplessly.

Gao Jiaxing was eagerly tasting the eggs that he had heard from He Xuebing were very tasty. He bit into it and ate half in one go, then nodded, "Really delicious." He turned to Zheng Xianghong, "Mom, you should accept Xia Xiao’s kind gesture. These eggs are indeed not bad."

Zheng Xianghong gave Gao Jiaxing a stern look, but eventually tried one under Xia Xiao’s persuasion and nodded, "These eggs are indeed delicious."

"It’s because Auntie and Brother Gao are in good spirits."

As soon as Xia Xiao spoke, Gao Jiaxing was the first to disagree; he hadn’t felt particularly good, leaving before dawn with a heart full of enthusiasm to rush the ox cart to the city, and heading straight for the provincial capital. He waited most of the day, only to have cold water poured over him, a feeling only Gao Jiaxing could truly understand.

Now, Gao Jiaxing, while Xia Xiao wasn’t paying attention, kept making eye contact with Zheng Xianghong, who rolled her eyes at Gao Jiaxing before turning to Xia Xiao, "Xia Xiao, how was your trip home this time?"

"Pretty good, my family’s doing well. It was quite hard to leave," Xia Xiao sighed softly within her heart. She didn’t hate the production team, but she also couldn’t grow to like it. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

She didn’t enjoy farm work, didn’t fancy toiling with her face to the soil and back to the sky, sweating it out under the elements. She’d rather work overtime in an office, even pulling all-nighters as opposed to field labor.

She admired the laborers, though, and seeing everyone working with zest in the production team kindled a blazing fire in her heart. She was enthusiastic about working together with them, invigorated.

But if not for her memories from a past life, perhaps Xia Xiao would like her present, accept her present. But with her past life’s experience, she wasn’t used to it here.

This labor was only temporary, after all. She would strive to return to the familiar city. Suddenly, she thought of her past life’s home and paused.

What are her parents from her previous life doing right now?

They haven’t even been born yet. Xia Xiao had stopped paying attention to these matters.

Listening to Xia Xiao expressing reluctance to leave home, Gao Jiaxing felt a tightness in his chest. Zheng Xianghong gave him a look, a kind of "I told you so" expression.
