Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 175 - 174: Grave Digging (Monthly Ticket 715+)

Xia Xiao shook her head. "No need, it’s not like it’s dark and I can’t find my way. It’s broad daylight, I can go back by myself. You go rest after you’ve finished cleaning up."

Xia Xiao didn’t linger at the Gao family’s place and exchanged a few words with Gao Jiaxing before leaving.

As soon as Xia Xiao left, Gao Jiazhi rushed into the kitchen, rummaging around everywhere.

Gao Jiaxing said, "Stop looking, there’s none left, it all went into my stomach."

Gao Jiazhi glared, "You little rascal, why didn’t you save some for your brother?" He had been craving it since he smelled the aroma. Xia Xiao was there, so he didn’t feel comfortable coming over. Now that Xia Xiao had left, Gao Jiazhi finally came over to look for food, not expecting Gao Jiaxing to be so unsympathetic and eat it all.

"This was a meal Xia Xiao made especially for me, how could I possibly save it for you?" Gao Jiaxing said proudly to Gao Jiazhi, "Xia Xiao’s cooking is even better than our mom’s, it’s really delicious. My stomach is full, but my eyes aren’t, too bad there isn’t any left."

Gao Jiazhi was speechless, since Jiaxing even mentioned that his stomach was full but his eyes weren’t, there was no chance he would leave any for him to try.

But Gao Jiazhi still couldn’t stand seeing Gao Jiaxing so pleased with himself, he glared at his brother’s stomach and said, "Watch out for your belly, don’t let yourself get fat like a pregnant woman, Xia Xiao will dislike you then."

"Go away, I get up to run and practice boxing before dawn while, unlike you, you’ve stopped practicing a long time ago," Gao Jiaxing retorted.

Gao Jiazhi raised an eyebrow, "Come out and compare then."

"Anytime," replied Gao Jiaxing as he cleaned up the dishes, and the two brothers went out to the courtyard to spar.

Meanwhile, Xia Xiao returned to the dormitory, and Yang Xuehua and others immediately asked, "How is the city now?"

Xia Xiao shook her head. "Chaotic."

"What’s chaotic? Tell us about it." Wang Aihua gathered closer along with the others, all eager to know what was happening outside.

Xia Xiao then shared what she had witnessed. When it came to families being raided, everyone didn’t have much to say, it wasn’t something easy to comment on.

But the gossip about the widow’s affair stirred up a lot of discussions. Wang Aihua said, "I still think it’s not satisfying enough, Gao Jiaxing should have beaten that despicable man to death."

"Exactly, it’s so disgusting," agreed Yang Xuehua.

Sun Yuhua also expressed her disgust, "Who knows if he truly repented or just pretended, a leopard can’t change its spots."

As for the widow, no one sympathized with her. If it weren’t for this specific time period, perhaps the widow could have truly disrupted a family and driven the wife and children out of the house, taking the place for herself.

The next morning, they had to go down to the fields to work early, so everyone went to bed early.

Early in the morning, they all got up before dawn. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Xia Xiao looked at her long hair and felt troubled. Her hair, long, smooth, and shiny, was something she didn’t want to cut, nor could she simply tie it up in a ponytail like she might do later, and it wasn’t convenient for work.

So, the best solution was to braid it. Xia Xiao tried to braid her hair herself, but after finishing and checking in the mirror, she took it out again.

Yang Xuehua said with a smile, "Let me do it."

"I’ll help too," Wang Aihua stepped forward, and together with Yang Xuehua, they divided Xia Xiao’s hair into two sections, each braiding a side into a twist braid.

Sun Yuhua said exasperatedly, "You guys are just spoiling Xia Xiao. Let her do it herself, if it’s not good, she can just do it again, she’ll learn eventually."

"I just love braiding Xia Xiao’s hair, it’s so smooth and shiny, it feels so comfortable in the hand," said Wang Aihua.

Yang Xuehua nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Xia Xiao’s long hair is really nice, I’m so envious."

Sun Yuhua suggested, "Just cut it, it’ll grow back anyway."

Xia Xiao was somewhat tempted, thinking about it, cutting it short like a student would be more convenient.

Wang Aihua gave Sun Yuhua a glance and said, "Our frizzy hair is not a pity if cut, but Xia Xiao’s is so beautiful, I wouldn’t bear to if I had such beautiful hair."

Yang Xuehua nodded, "Neither would I."

"But it’s not good to always trouble Sister Aihua and Sister Xuehua," Xia Xiao said.

"No trouble at all, from now on, leave your hair to me, I’ll braid it for you," Wang Aihua looked at Xia Xiao’s hair like it was a first love.

Yang Xuehua burst out laughing, "Yuhua, stop it, Aihua has this little hobby, just let her enjoy it."

Sun Yuhua was speechless and said no more.

For Xia Xiao, as long as someone helped her braid her hair, that was fine.

Wang Aihua and Yang Xuehua were quick, and with both comparing their skills, they finished braiding Xia Xiao’s twin twist braids swiftly.

Nowadays, there were only two hairstyles, one was the braid, and the other was the student style.

In the dormitory, besides Xia Xiao, Wang Aihua, Yang Xuehua, Sun Yuhua, and even Dong Meihua all had their hair cut in the student style.

Having finished the braids, they all went to the canteen for breakfast. After Lin Xuebi and the others went to the city, Zheng Xianghong started cooking in the canteen.

And after the canteen was taken over by Zheng Xianghong, everyone praised her cooking, saying it was delicious. Luckily, Lin Xuebi didn’t know, otherwise, she would have been quite annoyed.

However, the people from the production team were also talking about the Gao Mansion folks going to the city, some even asked Zheng Xianghong, "Why didn’t they let your Jiaxing go to the city to work too?"

Zheng Xianghong just chuckled and said nothing. The affairs of the mansion, she preferred to stay away from them whenever possible.

But after the people from the mansion left, Zheng Xianghong felt much more relaxed, and even Li Shengmei calmed down.

When they reached the fields, Xia Xiao saw Gao Jiaxing, now a prominent militia man, very impressive with a gun slung over his shoulder and wearing high boots, looking quite heroic.

"Brother Gao, you’re also working in the fields?" Xia Xiao asked.

Gao Jiaxing nodded. "When it’s not necessary to maintain order, I need to work in the fields too, I also need to earn work points." Saying this, and while no one was looking, he passed by Xia Xiao and whispered, "I have to work hard to provide for you."

Xia Xiao immediately turned away, cursing in her heart, silly boy, not watching his words, it could cause gossip if someone saw.

Xia Xiao dared not speak with Gao Jiaxing anymore, she kept her head down and bent over to work, to avoid people noticing anything unusual.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Gao Er!"

Xia Xiao saw a young fellow from the village hurrying over, about the same age as Gao Jiaxing.

"What’s up?" Gao Jiaxing asked.

"Red Star’s people went to our back hill graveyard to dig up graves."

Gao Jiaxing frowned unhappily, "What does our back hill graveyard have to do with Red Star?"

"Yeah, our brothers have already started fighting with them. Ge Lai sent me to tell you, hurry over there," the young man said urgently, hoping Gao Jiaxing would move quickly.
