After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pa

Chapter 27 Someone comes to the door

Zhou Zhengan took a look at the things in their den.

 I plan to ask Lao Liu to make some small horses when I go back.

 Lao Liu is good at carpentry, and only Lao Liu can make this thing.

 After seeing off Zhou Zhengan, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

 Xia Zhi and Liu Zhiyan were both a little curious.

In the past two days, they and other educated youths have obviously become very different from each other, and others are unwilling to talk to them. In fact, they don't really want to get so close to others.

 Someone actually comes to the door.

 Xia Zhi opened the door and saw two female educated youths standing outside.

 “Comrade Xiaoxia, have you eaten?”

 Xia Zhi nodded,

 “We just finished eating, what’s the matter?”

 Two female educated youths, one named Fang Xiaoya and the other named Li Jinhui.

The location where I live is relatively far away, so I should live in a nest on the edge.

These two female educated youths gave people a relatively good feeling. After all, when they had conflicts in the past two days, they didn't know whether they felt that the matter had nothing to do with them and ignored it, or they felt that they had seen the essence of the problem.

  In any case, the two of them didn't say anything, nor did they make any special expressions.

 These days, even keeping a distance from others is a good habit.

“I’m so sorry, the two of us just want to ask where you can buy the mat that Captain Zhou sent you last time? We both want to buy a mat too.”

Fang Xiaoya has long been coveting that mat and sleeps on those straws. Although she is separated by a mat, she always feels uneasy, and from time to time she wakes up with a pile of straw in the morning.

Thinking about their mats during the summer solstice, I feel that this thing is more practical.

 The two of them discussed it and came here specifically to ask questions without being ashamed.

 “This mat is not for sale.”

What Xia Zhi said is true. After all, mats are made from local materials and almost everyone can do it.

They are not educated youths because they have only been here for a short time. But any educated youth who have been here for a long time can probably weave baskets, mats, benches, and anything else out of reeds.

You can even make up various interesting dolls such as grasshoppers, little rabbits, and little tigers.

Upon hearing this, Li Jinhui next to her was filled with disappointment.

“Comrade Xiaoxia, we can be considered like-minded comrades in the future, so don’t hide it from us, just tell us which fellow villager you bought the mat from.”

 The two of them were afraid that they would not help, and thought that their answer was deliberately making things difficult.

 Liu Zhiyan poked her head out from behind, and upon hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on her face.

"It sounds like we are deliberately making things difficult for you. To tell you the truth, Captain Zhou and his two young comrades made this mat from the reeds themselves. Where do you think we can introduce it to you? "

 Xia Zhi knew as soon as he heard this that Liu Zhiyan was showing off.

 Afraid that others would not know that Captain Zhou treated them differently.

Sure enough, Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui were completely wilted after hearing this. They didn't have the ability to use Captain Zhou to weave mats for them.

The two people were about to turn around and leave when they heard the sound of Xia Zhi coming from behind.

"If you really want mats, I can teach you how to weave them. In fact, editing is very simple. You only need to cut the materials from the reeds and you can weave them in less than two hours."

 The two of them turned around in surprise and joy.

"Comrade Xiaoxia, is it really possible? Then we thank you. Please help us. We need a mat."

 Xia Zhi nodded.

“You guys go back to Diwozi first, and I’ll go find Liu Qianjin. We have to bring our **** men with us, otherwise no one will protect us, and we’ll be in trouble if we encounter a wolf on the reed path.”

Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui shivered in fear as soon as they heard the wolf.

 “What should I do if I encounter a wolf?”

“Remember to prepare two fire sticks behind the door in the future, whichever one is handy.

 Even if it’s not about hunting wolves. Diwo must have the strength to protect himself if other wild beasts break into him at the door.

You can't just wait for the male educated youth to help. If they don't hear it, who can you rely on? "

Xia Zhi’s words reminded the two of them of the sound coming from the tattered linen cloth at the door of Diwozi last night.

The two of them nodded hurriedly. It seemed that they had to learn to protect themselves. This was the first thing to learn.

 The two left, and Liu Zhiyan said gloomily from behind.

"Why are you helping them? You don't know that those educated youths look down on us."

“Comrade Xiao Liu, you have to take a long-term view. We can’t live without interacting with others for the rest of our lives.

We live in groups, and if we encounter danger in the future, we really need someone to help us.

 Besides, our life here is not just one or two years, it may be ten, eight, 20 or 30 years.

 You can't really treat each other like guests, just nod your acquaintance.

 We must slowly dissolve the distance and barriers between them and us. "

“You and I and Liu Qianjin all need friends.”

What Xia Zhi did not say is that a lot of work in the future will need to be carried out in groups. If they really have no other friends, then they will be in trouble.

There is nothing wrong with having strong personal abilities, but you cannot completely stop interacting with others based solely on your personal abilities.

 Liu Zhiyan nodded. In fact, she is also a person who is willing to be friends with others.

 Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the entanglement I had on the first night, but now I feel that this small group is quite good.

 It’s stable and there’s not much to do.

Xia Zhi is independent-minded, has a good brain, and has good ideas. Although Liu Qianjin is not very smart, he is obedient, strong, and can do a lot of work, which makes people feel safe.

Although I am a little waste now, I can still provide some material help to the group.

 But if Xia Zhi slowly becomes friends with other people, will many of his faults become apparent?

 At that time, Xia Zhi will feel that it will be easier to make friends with others and not have to do anything on his own.

 Xia Zhi didn’t know that Liu Zhiyan still had such worries.

He found Liu Qianjin who was next to him, and the two of them set out carrying fire sticks and sickles.

 They have a sickle here, so Captain Zhou naturally brought it here.

Liu Zhiyan gritted her teeth and followed them with a basket.

“I’ll go with you too. Although I can’t cut the reeds, I might be able to help pick up the duck eggs.”

Xia Zhi thought about it and realized that having a sense of participation is good. At least Liu Zhiyan is a good comrade if she is not lazy now.

 Such positivity should be encouraged.

 “Okay, let’s go.”

“Maybe if you pick up more duck eggs, we can also pickle them.”

 After hearing the salted duck eggs, Liu Zhiyan swallowed.

“Can you pickle those oily salted duck eggs during the summer solstice?”

 A look of longing.

"Yes! Comrade Xiao Liu, you are very lucky. Who has a cooking master living in front of you?"

 Liu Zhiyan immediately showed a doggy smile.

Xia Zhi really didn’t know that Liu Zhiyan was a foodie in her previous life.

 When I talk about eating, I feel very excited.
