Chapter 145 This mission came too strangely
The two female educated youths glanced at Qiao Manman jealously, their clothes crumpled from being crumpled.
Qiao Manman glanced at the handsome young educated youth who hadn't spoken yet. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "My name is Chen Junyan, and I already have a fiancée."
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, "This is the male lead from the original story? He does look quite handsome."
She greeted us with a smile: "Hello, I'm Qiao Manman."
Although you are all excellent, my bride price is 666 yuan, not a penny less!
"Who asked you?!" Qi Sixuan pouted.
Qiao Manman laughed and said, "It's nothing, I'm just stating my requirements so as not to waste each other's time."
The male educated youth looked as ashamed as if he had eaten shit, but Wang Defa nodded: "Man'er is one of the best girls in our brigade, she deserves such a high dowry!"
He jumped off the oxcart, pulled Qiao Manman aside, and asked, "What's going on between you and Xiao Lu? Why hasn't he come back to propose marriage after all this time?"
Qiao Manman didn't know either, and said with an awkward laugh, "I guess you're busy. I'll come when I'm done! Captain, thank you for backing me up!"
Wang Defa snorted coldly: "Those few bastards, I can tell they're up to no good just by spitting out a breath."
"Don't be fooled by their looks, Man'er. They can't lift a finger, they're useless!"
Qiao Manman was amused by Wang Defa and said, "Uncle Captain, how about I give you a ride back?"
Wang Defa glanced at Qiao Manman's petite frame: "No, no, no, with your skinny arms and legs, how could you possibly carry me!"
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "Don't underestimate me, I can do eight work points of farm work!"
Wang Defa laughed and ultimately decided not to ride the bicycle.
I walked with Qiao Manman for a while and chatted about her work at the machinery factory before letting her go home first.
Qiao Manman didn't stand on ceremony and ran away like a gust of wind.
Back at the foot of Daqingshan Mountain, after washing up and having a meal, we saw the brigade leader arrive late with several new educated youths.
When new people joined the educated youth settlement, some were happy while others were worried.
Comrade Zhang Xiu made numerous inquiries but failed to find any news about Lu Yuan, and had given up.
This time, upon catching sight of Chen Junyan, his eyes lit up, and he went up to strike up a conversation. His affected and pretentious manner was nauseating.
Chen Junyan stepped aside, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes: "Comrade, please have some self-respect."
Zhang Xiu's expression wasn't very good after she was singled out.
He still forced a smile and explained, "Comrade, you misunderstood. I was just worried that you might not be used to the place since you're new here, so I thought I'd help you introduce the Qingshan Brigade."
Chen Junyan ignored her and was arranged by the captain to stay in the place where Lu Yuan had previously lived.
My luggage has already been packed and mailed. The room is clean and tidy; I just need to tidy it up a bit before I can move in.
After tidying up, we had a meal with the former educated youth.
Chen Junyan lay on the not-so-spacious kang (a heated brick bed), the image of Qiao Manman flashing through his mind, feeling as if he had seen her somewhere before.
But he was certain that he had never been to Qingshan Brigade before.
According to Captain Wang Defa, Qiao Manman had never been to Northeast China.
A strange sense of unease arose within me; I felt that this mission was far too suspicious.
Why was Meng Peiyu assigned to this place by her superiors the day after she dreamed that there was treasure in Qingshan Brigade?
The mission is to find treasure.
What kind of treasure could it be that they're so eager to possess? Why didn't the leaders mention it at all when Lu Yuan came?
Chen Junyan was puzzled, but couldn't bring himself to ask. He tossed and turned on the kang (a heated brick bed) for a long time before finally falling into a deep sleep.
Qiao Manman returned home and didn't take Chen Junyan to heart.
After lying on the kang for a while, I couldn't fall asleep, so I slipped into my spatial dimension.
The fruit was found to be ripe and very juicy.
Qiao Manman picked an apple, wiped it with a tissue, and took a bite. It was crisp and sweet.
After eating, I took a stroll in the rice paddies and discovered that there were many more small crabs in the fields.
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow and fed them some food.
After visiting the ginseng field and admiring the flowers in the flower field for a while, Qiao Manman slipped away and closed her eyes to sleep.
The next day, Qiao Manman got up, fed Dahuang and Xiaohua, and went for a walk on the mountain.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Chen Junyan. The man seemed surprised, wanting to step forward but hesitant.
Qiao Manman nodded to him but did not approach him to chat.
Even after hesitating, they turned around and walked in the other direction.
Chen Junyan frowned: "Am I some kind of monster? Why is she avoiding me?"
Qiao Manman heard his mutterings and laughed. She went into the woods and gathered some firewood before returning home.
The day ended quickly, and Qiao Manman returned to the machinery factory to continue her hard work.
The matter of "Shi Meng" has been settled: the fake Shi Meng was dismissed, and the real Shi Meng...
Miao Shoujun hesitated for a long time but still did not recall the man.
However, out of humanitarian concern, they gave the other party fifty yuan as "compensation".
Shi Meng was somewhat disappointed, but she also understood the other party's choice.
After all, the Shi family is like a shameless leech; once they're on your side, you can't shake them off.
If it were her, she wouldn't want to go to the factory either.
Shi Meng glanced at the large sum of money in her hand, took a deep breath, and resolutely walked into the educated youth office...
Shi Meng's affair caused a stir in the factory, but it was quickly overshadowed by the joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Wow, the festival is finally coming! Although the factory didn't give out mooncakes, they did give everyone a pound of apples and a pound of meat coupons.
Qiao Manman noticed that apples from this era were so small. They were only about the size of a fist, but the patterns on them were beautiful.
He put it in a canvas bag and was about to go home when Guo Youfeng stopped him.
"Hey Qiao, room 307's all set up. Want to move in?"
Qiao Manman shook her head: "No need, we have Sister Feng. I've found a place to stay, let's give it to someone who needs it more!"
Guo Youfeng asked, "Where? I've never heard you mention it before?"
Qiao Manman smiled and said, "It's next to the Public Security Bureau, the environment is not bad."
Seeing that she had made a decision, Guo Youfeng smiled and said, "I'll come visit you sometime!"
Qiao Manman smiled and agreed, and went to her new home after get off work.
A complete small courtyard, with a front yard, a back yard, a well, and a persimmon tree.
The persimmon tree is laden with small green persimmons, which look particularly vibrant.
Qiao Manman walked around and came into the house, where she saw that Grandpa He and Grandma He had cleaned the house very thoroughly.
They gave her all the pots and pans that they couldn't take with them.
Qiao Manman put the items back into the box and took out new ones from her spatial storage to add to it.
Thinking back to when she took the two elderly people to the train station, the old lady held her hand and said she wanted to introduce her to a potential partner, Qiao Manman couldn't help but laugh.
But as I laughed, I couldn't laugh anymore.
If she doesn't hear from that guy who's been missing for so long, she'll break up with him.
This relationship is... ugh, not sweet at all!
Qiao Manman cleaned the house and then went home.
She moved in to prepare for work after the holiday.
Autumn has arrived, and it gets dark very quickly. Before Qiao Manman even reached the foot of the mountain, it was already completely dark.
The autumn wind blows, and the leaves rustle. Even though it's not yet late autumn, a sense of desolation can already be felt.
My heart also became depressed.
