Seeing Jiang Duo's sharp eyes examining her, Mingzhu hesitated.

The original owner used to be aggressive and unreasonable, and her reputation in the village was not good, so... is her current act of 'pretending to be nice' going too far?

In order to prevent others from seeing that she was not the original owner, she immediately suppressed the smile on her face, frowned and said displeasedly to Jiang Duo, who was looking at her: "Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't you just leave? Come back. Aren’t you just looking for something to do with me?”

Jiang Duo: "..."

Why does this woman change her face so quickly? In comparison, her well-behaved look just now made people feel comfortable.

The two did not know each other before, and Jiang Duo was not sure whether the rumors about Mingzhu in the village were true or false.

But he won't make random comments about things he doesn't understand, and he will have plenty of time in the future... to observe slowly.

Jiang Duo collected his thoughts and said, "I will take time to take you to the city tomorrow afternoon to buy some wedding necessities."

When Mingzhu heard that she was going to the city, she readily responded: "Okay!"

She didn't know if she would ever return to her original world. No matter what, she had to live a good life... Well, she didn't want to live in such a poor life forever. If she had a chance to go to the city to see it, of course she couldn't. If you miss it, you may still find a way to make money.

It can be seen that Jiang Duo fell silent again after speaking. The thoughts that Mingzhu had just flown out came back again, and he was quite speechless. Does this person talk so little?

Then stop talking, it will make many mistakes.

"I plan to go to the river to wash clothes. Do you have anything else to do?"

"No, goodbye." After Jiang Duo said that, he turned and left.

Mingzhu looked at his back, remembered something and said: "Oh, by the way, if you don't mind, come to my house for a simple dinner tonight. You should know my situation, I live with my aunt, my aunt...well , I’m not in good spirits. You’d better take a look for yourself. If you can’t accept it, we’ll cancel the engagement and I’ll refund your bride price.”

When Jiang Duo heard that the engagement was cancelled, he looked back at Mingzhu in surprise.

Others say she is arrogant and unreasonable, but what she said is... isn't it normal? I'm quite considerate of him.

"Okay, I understand. Aren't you going to the river? I'll drop by. Let's go together."

Mingzhu originally wanted to go back and research whether she had a golden finger, but Jiang Duo said so. She couldn't refuse, so she could only put the matter behind her for the time being.

She picked up the basket full of dirty clothes, walked to Jiang Duo, and walked side by side with him.

Mingzhu 165 is not short among women, but standing next to the tall Jiang Duo, she looks a little petite.

Jiang Duo looked sideways at the strange way she was carrying the basket. The handle of the basket bent out of the wooden stick kept sliding down her shoulders. Mingzhu would bump the basket up from time to time, and finally just held the basket in her arms——

He couldn't stand it anymore, why couldn't she even carry a basket?

Jiang Duo smoothly took the basket out of her arms, put it on his shoulder, and continued walking forward without saying a word.

Mingzhu’s eyes lit up!

Darling, this young man is quite lovable!

She deliberately took a step behind and quietly looked at Jiang Duo's profile with side eyes. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became. This man... was so strong and good-looking.

But looking at his age...

"Captain Jiang, how old are you?"

Jiang Duo hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "I was born on the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China. I will turn 27 in two months."

"..."

Sure enough, being three years younger than her, does this count as... an old cow eating young grass?

However, the tender grass tastes so delicious when chewed!

When Jiang Duo saw that Mingzhu was silent, he thought she thought she was too old, so his tone showed a bit of disapproval: "I'm nine years older than you. Calculating it, my age is indeed inappropriate."

Only then did Mingzhu remember that she was not the 30-year-old senior doctor Mingzhu now, but the tender and soft little Jiaojiao from Xiaojing Village.

Suddenly, her mood brightened, "It's okay, I don't dislike you, uncle is even more caring."

Big... Uncle?

Jiang Duo turned his head to look at her, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He wasn't old enough to be her uncle, was he?

The two walked quietly on the small dirt road leading to the river. The hot August wind carried the chirping of cicadas, which made people feel irritable.

But looking at Mingzhu's smile as bright as the sun at this moment, Jiang Duo's heart calmed down inexplicably.

He said nothing more, thinking: Maybe she just made a slip of the tongue.

After Jiang Duo sent Mingzhu to the river, he accompanied her to find a place under the shade of a willow tree. He helped her move two stones, one for sitting on and one for rubbing clothes. He left after she was ready.

Mingzhu took off her shoes and sat down, putting her feet in the water, and took out the clothes in the basket one by one to wash.

In the 70s, not only was the air good, the sky was blue, and there was no trace of smog, but the water was as clear as a mirror. When she put her feet in the water, there were two big fish circling around her——

With a sudden thought, she picked up the free woven basket beside her and threw it into the water. The two fish were framed motionless by her into the basket.

uh...

Why is this fish waiting for someone to catch it? Could it be that you are stupid? Eating the kind that affects IQ!

Mingzhu wanted to go home, but she couldn't be happier because her family was so poor now that she didn't even have any bread.

There was only half a tank of cornmeal in the noodle tank, and there was a small pot of soybeans next to it.

On the contrary, in the cellar where she and Jiang Duo played sports, there were hundreds of kilograms of new potatoes and a small pile of wilting sweet potatoes.

Even though she was so poor, she still had the courage to invite Jiang Duo to dinner at night!

While she was washing clothes, she was still thinking, what should I treat people to?

Now, let’s use her amazing cooking skills to stew a fish, enjoy it!

It took her more than two hours to wash a basket of patched clothes and sheets.

It was too heavy to carry the wet clothes back, so she simply hung them to dry on the grass by the river.

While her clothes were still wet, she turned over rocks by the river and touched many snails, carrying them in a piece of clothes with the most patches.

It's really strange. In the original owner's memory, very few villagers could catch big fish or dig snails in the river. Was she just lucky today?

At around five o'clock, when the clothes were dried, she carried a full harvest and went home humming a little tune.

In order to get home as soon as possible and make preparations, she relied on the memory of the original owner and took a shortcut through a path in front of a cornfield.

What a coincidence, the educated youth are working here today.

On the field ridge, Xu Kai was sitting and chatting with a female educated youth.

He saw Mingzhu coming from a distance, with two big fish hanging on straw ropes in his hands, and his eyes immediately lit up!

No matter what Mingzhu did in the past, she would share it with him as long as he asked.

Although his plan failed this morning and something went wrong, he knew Mingzhu too well. As long as he said soft words, she would definitely surrender to him with her tail wagging!

He stood up, left the female educated youth behind, and walked straight towards Mingzhu——
