Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 189: Alone Together Environment

While Li Meifen was taking the trouble to explain to other young people in the village who were watching the fun, Xu Yan had already returned to his work place and was carefully threshing the few remaining rice grains one by one.

When other young people had just finished their lunch break and returned to their workstations, Xu Yan had already completed his day's work ahead of time.

While eating, Zhong Qingqing saw that Xu Yan went back to work early, so she quickened her eating pace, wanting to get back to Xu Yan before Li Meifen and create an environment where they could be alone together.

However, she had just finished the last bite of rice when she was suddenly surrounded by several young women nearby and was questioned why she came to the cafeteria with Xu Yan and Li Meifen.

Zhong Qingqing wanted to make a few lies and get away quickly, but the other young women seemed to have finally found a way to have fun and kept pestering her and wouldn't let her leave.

By the time Li Meifen and Zhong Qingqing returned to their work positions with their own thoughts, Xu Yan had already dusted off his hands, reported his workload for the day to the team leader, and left.

"Brother Xu Yan, where are you going?"

After all, Li Meifen had no experience in dealing with such situations. She stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Zhong Qingqing, on the other hand, reacted very quickly. She immediately ran after him, and called Xu Yan sweetly from behind.

But Xu Yan not only had no intention of stopping, but even walked faster.

Zhong Qingqing took two more steps forward, but found that the distance between her and Xu Yan was getting bigger and bigger. In the end, she could only helplessly watch the figure gradually walking out of her sight.

Behind her, Li Meifen also reacted. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she looked down upon Zhong Qingqing's sticky behavior: "Xu Yan's attitude is so clear, why are you still following him? Can't you see that he hates you?"

After catching her breath, Zhong Qingqing turned around and looked at Li Meifen calmly, "If you really dislike my actions so much, you wouldn't be here."

Knowing that Zhong Qingqing's words implied that she had the same goal as her, Li Meifen bit her lower lip silently and said nothing in the end.

After all, what Zhong Qingqing said was actually right.

At the same time, Su Wanwan in the radio station saw Zhao Ying walking towards her with a lunch box from afar. At the same time, she also saw the young people walking towards the radio station not far behind Zhao Ying.

Fortunately, after arriving at the radio station in the morning, she immediately copied down a few quotations of the times. Now, after these young people completed the registration with ease, they lined up to broadcast the paragraphs they chose.

Su Wanwan stepped out of the radio station, took the lunch box from Zhao Ying, and then stood by a piece of wood near the door of the radio station and waited quietly.

"Wanwan, Mom didn't expect them to come at this time..." Handing the lunch box that was full of food, which even smelled of meat, to Su Wanwan, Zhao Ying had a look of guilt and helplessness on her face. She lowered her voice, trying to explain everything to Su Wanwan.

"It's okay, mom. I'll stand here for a while. I'll go back to eat after they leave. Don't worry." Su Wanwan looked at Zhao Ying comfortingly. After sending Zhao Ying away, she stood there quietly for more than ten minutes, until the young people finished recording the Quotations of the Times and left in a group. Then she slowly walked back to the radio station.

When she opened the lunch box, it was indeed a box full of braised pork that Zhao Ying had packed. Su Wanwan couldn't even find much staple food in it.

Although the family's food improved instantly after she went up the mountain to hunt wild boars, her mother Zhao Ying and others did not know the specific source of the pork. Although the family could eat meat for every meal, pork was only a side dish after all. It would never be the only dish in the lunch box like today.

Only the day before Su Wanwan was going to Baihua Village for exchange, and at times like now, would her mother be willing to use so much meat to cook.

Silently eating the fat but not greasy braised pork, Su Wanwan looked up at the time.

When they were about to part yesterday, Xu Yan made an appointment with her to meet at the old place this evening.

The old place that Xu Yan mentioned was naturally the place where he parked his car in the mountains before. Only Su Wanwan and Xu Yan knew about it, and it was considered their "secret meeting place".

It is autumn now, and in a few days we may enter the completely frosty winter. The business that I had discussed with Xu Yan before, to let my mother and sister-in-law secretly make cloaks and sell them in the county town, is probably no longer possible.

Even if Xu Yan could continue to provide her with balls of thread and other raw materials, and help her sell them, there was still a great god in the family after all.

Su Wanwan has not forgotten the noisy energy Jiang Panhua brought last time. If she lets her mother and sister-in-law continue weaving the cloak and she happens to find out again, it will be a waste of time and effort.

Since we can no longer weave capes and other handmade items and sell them in towns or counties, we have to think of other ways out.

It seems that I can continue my previous trip to the mountains to hunt wild boars. Although it is approaching winter and the wild boars may not be as active as in summer, there are still many wild animals in the deep mountains and forests.

Even if there are no wild boars, there will be wild rabbits and even foxes.

If you can kill a fox, you can probably sell its fur for a good price.

After going over these ways of making money in her mind, Su Wanwan suddenly realized that she had overlooked a more important way to make money, which was the herbs that made her a large sum of money last time.

Compared to hunting wild game in the mountains, herbs naturally have higher requirements for the season.

It is now autumn, and some herbs in the mountains have gradually begun to turn yellow. On the way back from Baihua Village, Su Wanwan noticed that the grass leaves on both sides of the road were basically falling and turning yellow, and the situation in the mountains was no different.

Why not go up the mountain to pick some herbs before autumn is completely over?

If I get as lucky as last time and find something like Ganoderma lucidum or ginseng, wouldn't I be able to make a small fortune again?

With these plans in mind, Su Wanwan burped and closed the lunch box, with one third of the braised pork still left in it.

I don’t know if my mother had misjudged her appetite… The lunch boxes delivered at noon were always filled to the brim, so that after Su Wanwan got home from work every day, she would finish her own leftovers before eating the newly prepared meals…

Since the radio station was only busy in the morning and at noon, Su Wanwan packed up her things after dinner, prepared the script for the next day, locked the door and walked out.

To get from the radio station to the old place, one has to pass through a small path along the river. Unfortunately, when Su Wanwan walked to the path by the river today, she happened to run into many women from the village who were queuing up by the river to wash clothes.

"Hey, Su Wanwan?"

What's even more unfortunate is that Jiang Panhua happened to be in the most conspicuous position among this group of women.
