It feels so good to go grocery shopping with a man.

The couple in the vegetable shop looked at each other, their mouths curled. It looked a little strange, but Zhang Lixia looked like she was smiling.

Soon, the two bought a bunch of vegetables.

For the villagers, this was already a luxurious meal.

Meat, ribs, half a chicken, and a basket of other vegetables. Chen Yu even brought two bottles of iced beer. Still drinking?

Especially when it came time to pay the bill, Chen Yu refused to let Zhang Lixia pay, and he just paid the bill. Zhang Lixia felt embarrassed. After the two left.

The shop owner and his wife shook their heads and said, "This situation doesn't look right. Old Kuai, go tell the village chief." "Yes." The wife was also in a hurry. She turned around and ran out in a hurry. Back home.

Zhang Lixia immediately switched to cooking mode and put on an apron.

Wash vegetables, cut meat, light fire, simmer rice. Stew chicken. Villagers stew with steamed mushrooms.

The wild mushrooms she picked from the mountains were dried, soaked in water, and stewed with chicken. It was so fragrant. Zhang Lixia herself couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten chicken. She hadn't eaten it when she got married.

After a while, the aroma of stewed chicken wafted out of the widow's window. During this time, Chen Yu had been sitting in the room, looking around Zhang Lixia's house.

Among all the women she met, Zhang Lixia came from the most ordinary, the most humble and the poorest background. But she was very strong.

She can even survive in the apocalypse. She is almost a perfect woman. Chen Yu feels pity for her. At a certain moment.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Xia, Xia, I'm the village chief. Xia, open the door."

Chen Yu looked back.

Huang Youde is here.

Ha ha!

This old fox kept staring at Zhang Lixia.

If something really happened between me and Zhang Lixia, this old fox would definitely make trouble.

Chen Yu stood up and walked out.

Zhang Lixia also dealt with the things on the stove, then wiped her hands and walked out of the yard.

Open the door.

Zhang Lixia was startled.

Good guys!

Another group of people gathered outside.

What are you doing?

Can people still live a good life? Zhang Lixia's face looked a little ugly.

The village chief Huang Youde outside also had an ugly look on his face. His son stood behind him, glaring at Chen Yu.

He looked like he could pick up a brick and hit someone at any time. Zhang Lixia frowned and asked softly, "Village Chief, what are you doing again?" "Ahem." Huang Youde looked at Chen Yu inside and coughed twice, "That... young man, are you... not going to leave?"

"Let's go."

Chen Yu smiled faintly: "Let's go after dinner."

"Oh."

Huang Youde relaxed instantly.

He laughed and said, "Look, the expert comrade wants to have a meal, just tell me. I am the village chief, you know that. I have the obligation to entertain the expert comrades from your city, right? Let's go to my place."

"no need."

Suddenly, Zhang Lixia spoke up and rejected it directly. Chen Yu didn't even need to say anything.

This was also the first time that Zhang Lixia had the courage to speak out. Before, she had become a widow. She hardly dared to speak in the village. She even rarely went out.

Even if she was wronged, she dared not say a word.

Ever since Huang Biao fell in love with her, Huang Youde began to manipulate her in various ways, controlling her life remotely.

Zhang Lixia also had her own difficulties and had to compromise completely.

The fundamental reason is that she has lost confidence in her future life and has no expectations. She just lives one day at a time.

But today, after dealing with Chen Yu all day and hearing the independent opinions of truly knowledgeable and cultured people, she regained her vitality. Her life is her own. Her future is her own. Why should she be controlled by others? What's wrong with being a widow?

We are human beings too.

Even if it's hard to get married in the future, I can always stay single for the rest of my life, right?

Can't we just live a good life?

Why should you be controlled by others?

Zhang Lixia is such a woman.

She is actually very smart, and a bit wild.

In the doomsday period, after being encouraged by Chen Yu, she dared to pick up a dog-leg knife and a pistol and directly crippled the three thugs. She is actually very open-minded.

So, at this moment, she chose to defend her freedom.

Zhang Lixia looked at Huang Youde and said seriously, "Village Chief, I have already agreed to treat Mr. Chen to dinner. And the dishes are already prepared, so I won't bother you anymore."

"It's no trouble, what's the trouble?"

The village chief rolled his eyes and said, "It's inappropriate for a woman like you to have dinner with experts from the city so late at night. You should..." "What's inappropriate?"

Zhang Lixia bravely interrupted him: "Village head, what's wrong? Tell me." Huang Youde was stunned. Hey!

This young widow is getting excited.

His face immediately darkened, and he frowned and said, "Xia, do you need to ask what's inappropriate? Ask the villagers yourself, is your behavior appropriate? You two are a single man and a single woman, why don't you have dinner together tonight?"

The people watching behind him immediately started to make a noise. "Xia, this is really inappropriate." "It's okay."

"If it were me, I wouldn't dare let a man into the house."

"Who wouldn't say yes? I'm embarrassed. I heard that Mr. Yang from the vegetable store said that the two of them bought two bottles of beer. Look." "Oh my god, they're still drinking?" "What are you thinking?" "That's right, you're so shameless." "How dare you ask? Don't you know who you are?"

A group of people were making a lot of noise.

The words she said became more and more unpleasant. Zhang Lixia's face turned red with anger. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Huang Youde was so proud that his face turned red in an instant: "Xia, you see, this is an easy thing to do, but it's hard to hear. Besides, if the experts come from the city, then I, the village chief, will have to..."

"Excuse me."

Suddenly, Chen Yu walked in front of Zhang Lixia, looked at Huang Youde and smiled faintly: "Everyone, the food in the kitchen is almost ready. The chicken is stewed." "Everyone, don't worry too much." "It's better to eat salty radishes and worry less."

"I came here with a mission, and I have reached an intention for long-term cooperation with Ms. Zhang." "The red fire ant nest in her field may contain a queen ant, and that is my target." "So in the next period of time, I may temporarily live in Ms. Zhang's house." "For a while." "Until the research is completed." "Village chief, thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it. While I work here, Ms. Zhang will provide me with all the help I can."

"So, everyone, please go back." Huang Youde's face changed when he heard this. What the hell? You still want to live here?

The others also had strange expressions on their faces. Living in a widow's house? Are you serious? Huang Biao was getting angry.

Searching around for a brick to shoot someone.
