Rebirth at 70: I am the rough man’s treasure

Yang Xiaotian believed in Wu Shengqian, but after hearing these words, she still felt uncomfortable.

She avoided the crowd and returned home from the alley, only to find that Wu Shengqian had returned.

"Is the recruitment going well today?"

she asked, pretending to be calm.

Wu Shengqian was cooking for her. Hearing her question and looking at her not-so-pretty face, he thought it would be better not to worry her too much.So he said, "What's wrong with this? We're all fellow villagers who know everything about us. It's easy to recruit. The manpower is almost full. Everything is fine. Don't worry about it all the time."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt a thump in her heart.

It obviously didn’t go well!

Because of Tang Lili's pickiness, the folks in Yangkoupo are now full of resentment, and Yang Xiaotian has heard it all.

But why did Wu Shengqian lie to her?

Could it be that he has already started to protect Tang Lili?

Don’t you want to tell her about Tang Lili?

Yang Xiaotian's heart was in confusion, and her chest suddenly felt cramped.

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Shengqian saw something wrong with her expression, dropped the kitchen knife in his hand, and quickly went over to check on her.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Yang Xiaotian waved her hands and said in a low voice, "I just don't feel well. You go to work first. I'll just go back to the house and rest for a while."

Wu Shengqian nodded repeatedly and wanted to follow her to the back room so that she could take care of her.

But Yang Xiaotian stopped him, smiled hard and said, "I'm fine. I want to stay by myself for a while and calm down."

Wu Shengqian was stunned and stopped in his tracks.

He scratched his head anxiously. Of course he knew that Yang Xiaotian was in a bad mood these days, but he couldn't think of a solution.

That night, he was afraid of upsetting Yang Xiaotian, so he only asked her to come out for dinner, but when it was time to go to bed, he took the initiative to go to another room.

Yang Xiaotian was lying on the big bed alone. Without his arms, she felt even more lonely.I felt so uncomfortable that I cried and wet the pillow before I knew it.

What's wrong with her?

Now I'm just like Sister Lin.

Yang Xiaotian survived another night, and when she opened her eyes the next day, there was another note on the table, and the cooked breakfast was warming on the stove in the kitchen.

She saw how kind Wu Shengqian was to her, and she knew in her heart that there would really be nothing going on between him and Tang Lili.

but……

Yang Xiaotian almost hated herself.

She packed up in the morning, thought about it, and went to school to find Ye Zhengwen.

After Ye Zhengwen finished his class, he saw her under the old tree at the entrance of the school and asked happily: "Xiaotian? Why are you here? Come to my dormitory to talk."

Entering Ye Zhengwen's dormitory, he also noticed something was wrong with Yang Xiaotian, so he asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Yang Xiaotian pursed her lips and said sheepishly: "I've been acting weird lately, and I don't know what's going on? I was thinking, Teacher Ye, you are highly educated and I want you to help me analyze it."

"You said."

Ye Zhengwen looked like he was all ears.

Yang Xiaotian thought about it and started talking about it when she met Tang Lili: "Tang Lili is beautiful, rich and capable. Every time I see her, I feel...she is like the eldest lady in the opera, And I'm just a maid who serves people. And when I went to the provincial capital to buy equipment, that deputy director Xia Dong."

"Maybe he did it! He is highly educated and became the deputy director at a young age. When we get to the wine table, he is no worse than men when talking about serious things with men. He is very good at drinking and chatting. What do you call... he is so easy to do? . But when I get to the table, I just sit there like a fool."

"Also... Wu Shengqian has made great progress in the past six months. He used to get along with Brother Long Wu and we were brothers, but I haven't felt that much. Now, he and Zheng Tianhua, as well as those at the Agricultural Machinery Station He's a good person, and he's very good at dealing with people, and he always says the same thing when it comes to situations. But I... seem to be tongue-tied, and I don't know what to say when I meet people."

"..."

Yang Xiaotian felt a lot more relaxed after she confided all the worries in her heart in one breath.

Her eye circles turned red again, and she lowered her head and said, "Teacher Ye, do you think I am really useless?"

Ye Zhengwen handed her a piece of paper and asked her to wipe away her tears first.

He said earnestly: "How can you think so? You know, in my heart, you are the most outstanding girl I have ever seen. I believe that in Sheng Qian's heart, it is the same."

Now, Ye Zhengwen has a very good relationship with the couple.When they meet Wu Shengqian in person, the two of them might exchange a few words and joke around.But when he was mentioned behind the scenes, he was called "Sheng Qian" and "Zheng Wen".

"Really? Where can I go?"

Yang Xiaotian asked unconfidently.

Ye Zhengwen said seriously: "You are kind, but not stupid, and will not defend bad people; although you have not gone to school, you are smart and motivated, and never give up on yourself; you are brave, and were kidnapped by Gao Biao before. You’re not afraid either, you’re always thinking of a way; and…and you’re so beautiful.”

Yang Xiaotian was so embarrassed by his praise that she lowered her head and grabbed the corner of her clothes and said dullly: "But compared to Tang Lili, Xia Dong and the others, I'm still like a gray mouse..."

Ye Zhengwen stopped talking, but took out a pen and paper and wrote two lines of words.

Yang Xiaotian now knows a lot of words and can recognize all the commonly used and uncommon ones.

She saw what Ye Zhengwen wrote: The pines at the bottom of the gloomy stream, the seedlings on the mountain.

"what does this mean?"

she asked blankly.

"This is an ancient poem," Ye Zhengwen explained to her carefully. "It means that the pine trees at the bottom of the mountain stream are lush and tall; while the grass seedlings on the top of the mountain are sparse and short. No matter how poor the seedlings on the top of the mountain are, they are still better than The pine trees at the bottom of the mountain are taller. But, can you say that these pine trees are not as good as these grass seedlings?"

After listening, Yang Xiaotian vaguely understood what he meant, but she was still a little unsure.

"You mean..."

Before she asked, Ye Zhengwen had already smiled and said: "That's what you think. You are that pine tree. Because you have a bad background, you are not as tall as Tang Lili and Xia Dong are now. But it's not that you are inferior to them, it's just that you are Their life is not as good as theirs, it’s just that they didn’t grow up on the top of the mountain.”

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt much better.

yes……

She's not as good as them, but that's not her fault!

Why does she look down upon herself?

As for Wu Shengqian, he has made such great progress, and as his daughter-in-law, she should keep up. How can she be chattering away every day and not doing anything serious?

"I see!"

Yang Xiaotian's eyes lit up again, she smiled at Ye Zhengwen and left with a bright mood.

Wu Shengqian did not go to recruit people today and was busy at the breeding farm all day.

He thought that Yang Xiaotian must still be depressed, so before going home, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought several of her favorite braised vegetables.

He returned home with a large bag and was about to coax his wife. Unexpectedly, before he entered the house, he smelled a scent in the yard.

My little wife is actually in the mood to cook a big meal today?

Moreover, Wu Shengqian vaguely heard that she was humming happily while busy?
