Chapter 478 The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)
The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)
"Why is the emperor like this?"
"I didn't expect him to be like this..."
dog.
"But that's not important."
Lance looked helplessly at the person who was still distracted, "The auspicious time has come, it's time to go out."
Song Ning: "Oh oh oh, here it comes."
He happily grabbed the red veil at hand, without covering it, and rushed towards Lance.
The two men, both dressed in red robes, walked out of the door together.
The two horses circled the capital together. Children came up to grab the wedding candies. Song Ning's relaxed and cheerful smile was clearly visible in the sunset.
Sitting on a window sill, the emperor, who was on a secret visit, sneered.
"They really are in love."
At another window sill, an old man with white hair looked at Song Ning's smiling face, sighed, but then smiled.
"That's fine."
The lazy, fair-skinned educated youth and the hardworking, strong laborer (I)
In the hot summer, the sun is scorching and the ground is steaming.
After the morning wave, even the most diligent and strong laborers would not dare to go to the fields to continue working and earning work points at noon.
It's too hot today. If we continue to work in the fields under the scorching sun, we might faint from heatstroke in the field. That would be a waste of time and effort.
Many people were too lazy to go back so they found a place under the shade of a tree to eat, drink water and rest. With nothing to do, they couldn't help but talk about the group of new educated youth who came last week.
"...Not all educated youth are good. What's the name of the fairest and tenderest young man who came back this time? He looks so strong but he doesn't work hard at all. He looks like a spoiled kid from the city. The team also said that he wants to live with his fellow villagers? We dare not let him move in. Didn't that family live so miserably two years ago because they raised an educated youth who only ate and did not work?"
"It's the Song family, right? I remember that when Song Ning's parents were still alive, they lived a good life. With three strong laborers earning work points, they could at least have meat to eat during the New Year. But later, after he agreed to marry into the family of that guy named Dong Cai, he was shocked. For a big and strong man like him, he could only earn three out of ten work points."
"That's nothing. Three centimeters is fine. He always coaxed people into buying him candy and meat with the centimeters he earned. I saw it with my own eyes several times."
"What do you think the Song family is thinking? A sent-down youth has no hands or feet and can't work by himself. Why would they support that sent-down youth?"
"Who knows? Anyway, the Song couple is gone now. I heard that Song Ning kicked Dong Cai out some time ago. Well, it would be better to let him continue to live here instead of kicking him out now. At least he can keep him company."
The fellow villagers were discussing enthusiastically when a pale figure suddenly sat up from under the shade of a nearby tree.
He was sleeping on a straw mat and wearing a very fashionable hat that was only available in the city. His skin was so white that it seemed to glow.
Ordinarily he should look a little effeminate or even feminine, but when he stood up, his broad shoulders, straight long legs, and angular handsome face - he looked like a real man.
Lance rolled up the straw mat and walked towards the villagers. As they were talking, they suddenly shut up and looked alert.
Lance knew it very well that they were worried that he would ask to live in his fellow villager's house.
He looked around and found the one who looked the easiest to talk to.
"My fellow villager, I want to ask you something."
He rummaged around in his pocket and pulled out a White Rabbit candy and handed it over.
Sugar was a rare commodity these days, so the man quickly grabbed it and stuffed it into his pocket, but he still looked alert.
"Just ask about the matter, don't think about anything else. I have no say in this house."
"Of course, I'm a new educated youth. Where is the Song family you mentioned just now?"
As soon as Lance finished speaking, he saw that his fellow villagers became more alert.
The man just now even touched the White Rabbit milk candy and wanted to return it to him.
"You want to live in the Song family? That's not possible. You educated youth should stop thinking of taking advantage of us. You are so tall and capable, so go and earn your own living. Don't always rely on others..."
"My friend, you misunderstood."
Lance interrupted him quickly, he took out a letter and shook it quickly so that no one could see it clearly.
"I know Dong Cai. He and I used to be classmates. His family asked me to bring him a letter. I'm looking for him. Didn't you say he lives in the Song family?"
"so."
The man stuffed the candy back.
"Then why don't you just go to the educated youth camp and look for Dong Cai? Song Ning has already kicked him out. You didn't see him at the educated youth camp?"
Lance looked innocent.
"Aren't there two youth education centers in our brigade? I'm a new youth education center and I haven't seen it. The youth education center over there is a bit far away. I was thinking, what if he went to the Song family?"
Although he thought it was unlikely, the fellow villager still pointed it out to him for the sake of the White Rabbit Milk Candy.
Lance followed the direction and found a sturdy blue brick and tile house at the end of the village in the back mountain.
The house looks a bit old, but it seems solid and clean.
Outside, they built a vegetable patch with wood for their own consumption and raised a hen - there were originally three people in the Song family, so they had enough space to raise a hen.
Lance watched for a while, and suddenly heard two footsteps coming from behind him, one after the other.
"Song Ning, Ning Ning! How can you be so cruel? Have you forgotten the friendship between us in the past? I know that your parents' matter has hit you too hard, but there is really nothing between me and that Lin Caifeng. Don't let other people's words misunderstandingly affect the friendship between us!"
Lance recognized it as soon as he heard it. It was the voice of Dong Cai, the son of the world in this world.
He spoke glibly, his eyes narrowed coldly.
"Don't call me Ningning anymore. You don't deserve it."
The other voice was obviously much better. If it were in the future era of voice control, this slightly mature and sexy subwoofer would definitely make many men and women fall in love with it.
Lance's eyes also lit up slightly. It was the little prince.
Song Ning, wearing patched clothes, looked at Dong Cai, who was wearing a white shirt, and felt that he was a stranger.
"I saw you and Lin Caifeng sneaking into the woods with my own eyes. You even kissed her and told her that you loved her. Is this also called a misunderstanding?"
If it wasn't for this, why would he cruelly drive Dong Cai out of the house?
But this was all because Dong Cai had changed. Song Ning still remembered the first day Dong Cai came to the countryside. He spotted Dong Cai among so many educated youths. He was dressed in a white shirt, well-mannered and polite, like a scholar in books, with an extraordinary temperament.
But now?
Song Ning looked at the man in front of him. Although he was still wearing a white shirt, the collar had turned yellow because it hadn't been washed for two days. He frowned slightly.
How come Dong Cai can’t even wash clothes?
"What? You saw it?"
Dong Cai didn't expect that it was because he was caught by Song Ning. His heart skipped a beat.
He had clearly checked the location in advance that day, so there shouldn't be anyone nearby.
His face was stiff, and he tried to struggle tentatively.
"Ningning, what nonsense are you talking about? We all went to the movies that day. Why would I go into the woods with anyone? And didn't you say that you were too tired and wanted to rest at home? How is that possible..."
"If I didn't say that, why would you ask Lin Caifeng to go to the grove?"
A trace of hurt flashed across Song Ning's simple face. He always thought that Dong Cai always liked to find excuses to run away, so he wanted to give it a try. He didn't expect that this man actually got involved with a woman.
Dong Cai clearly said at the beginning that he was not interested in women.
"You deliberately?"
Dong Cai finally lost his temper and his face turned ashen.
"Song Ning, you don't trust me so much?"
Song Ning looked at him coldly, feeling only sadness and disbelief.
"How do you expect me to trust you? You were the one who did these things first!"
