Chapter 1268 The Young Lady’s Choice (3)
After this round of devouring by Yun Ni'an, the few feelings he had for Duan Xingran were almost gone.
The next morning, Chu Mingyue washed up and went to work in the fields as usual.
Duan Xingran followed her, intending to catch up and say something to ease the atmosphere.
but
"Xingran, I noticed you ate very little breakfast this morning. Is your appetite poor?" Yao Anlan saw Duan Xingran's intention, so he spoke to him directly. "You and I are working relatively close to each other today, so we can help each other out."
Duan Xingran didn't want to talk much with Yao Anlan at first, but then he thought that when he did this in the past, Chu Mingyue would be unhappy.
Since this morning, Chu Mingyue has deliberately avoided any chance of contact with me. If I stimulate her now, it might have an unexpected effect.
"It's not bad, I just got up a little early, so I don't have much of an appetite!" Duan Xingran said as he secretly observed Chu Mingyue with his eyes, "I saw it before, it seems that we were assigned to similar places."
Chu Mingyue remained unmoved and just lowered her head to check the tools she was assigned.
It's hard to say that the girl is indulged.
But women can also have ambitions for the mountains and rivers.
Although farming is not a big ambition, the most important thing in the current situation is to be able to support myself.
"There's a crack on this pole, be careful when you use it!" Cao Chunhua looked at Chu Mingyue and reminded her, "Be careful when you use it today. I'll replace it with another one tomorrow. I'll give it to you after it's repaired."
Chu Mingyue nodded and thanked Cao Chunhua: "Thank you, Director Cao!"
"Why call me Director? It's strange. Just call me Sister Chunhua." Cao Chunhua patted Chu Mingyue's shoulder. "Looking at your meticulousness, I know you are serious about this job."
The villagers don’t hate the educated youth, they only hate those who are ambitious but lack the ability to achieve their goals.
The first few who came didn’t know how to work and liked to give orders. If Feng Yuan hadn’t come later and taken control, who knows how things would have turned out!
It is also because the people of Dafeng are simple and honest. If it were in other villages, these people would have suffered a lot.
Cao Chunhua's eyesight in judging people was quite accurate. Among this group of educated youth, Chu Mingyue was indeed the one who could endure hardships the most - just work hard and that's it. Instead of blaming the heavens and the earth, it's better to fight for a way of survival with the heavens and the earth.
In the days that followed, Chu Mingyue gradually became the only person who could support herself.
Of course, the Chu family would still send her supplies, but usually before she received the goods, she would ask someone to exchange them for money.
It seemed that it was only at this time that Duan Xingran realized that the Chu Mingyue who used to care about him and share the family supplies with him was no longer there.
He also wrote to his family to ask whether the situation of the Chu family was the same as his own, but the answer he got was that the Chu family did not have any major problems.
Confused Room
Duan Xingran came over on his own initiative.
One evening after work.
As usual, Chu Mingyue finished work and returned to the dormitory with other educated youth. When passing by the stream beside the village, she hesitated for a moment, but still cleaned the dirt off her body.
The wet handkerchief was used to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and the clearness of the water made Chu Mingyue's mouth curl up slightly.
Just this faint smile not only stunned Duan Xingran who came here to find her, but also made "a certain" passerby stop.
However, the man who always claimed that he didn't want to get married just took a look and turned away.
Duan Xingran watched for a while, and when he saw Chu Mingyue was about to leave, he said, "Mingyue!"
Chu Mingyue turned her head to look at him, squinting her eyes and sizing up Duan Xingran for a few seconds before speaking: "Duan Zhiqing, are you calling me?"
"Mingyue, you used to call me Xingran." Duan Xingran felt a lump in his throat when he heard this name, and his tone unconsciously revealed aggrieved feeling.
Chu Mingyue patted the dirt off her body and said nonchalantly, "Duan Zhiqing, if you have something to say, just say it. Although we are from the same hometown, there are differences between men and women after all."
The phrase "men and women are different" made Duan Xingran feel even worse, but he could let go of the pain in his heart because he had more important things to ask: "I received a letter from home. Uncle Chu and the others are all doing well.
And I heard that Grandpa Chu's position is going to move up a bit, so your family should be doing well."
Chu Mingyue frowned and said, "Why are you asking about my family? It seems that our two families don't live in the same compound anymore!"
Something happened to the Duan family some time ago, and they moved out of the dormitory in the compound. Now the whole family is squeezed into a very small house.
Duan Xingran knew about this matter, but it was too shameful for him - he was the son of a high-ranking official in the city, and now that he had been demoted, many things he had done before might not count.
His heart tightened, and Duan Xingran's eyes turned red: "So, because something happened in my family, you want to keep your distance from me?"
"First of all, it's human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. I don't think there's anything wrong with that." Chu Mingyue's eyes were calm. "But your family didn't fall today. You made your choice after arriving in Dafeng Village."
