Chu Ye originally thought that some uninformed people would spread rumors randomly. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, a handsome and wealthy man pursued a little girl, but not only did he fail to pursue her, he actually slapped the little girl.
Maybe it was this little girl who did something bad that made people so angry.
But to her surprise, people all insulted Zhao Xuesong. After the scolding, they also warned their children that they should never imitate this behavior whether they get married or not.
She guessed in her heart that perhaps her deeds of saving people a while ago were known to everyone, so now she has a good image in everyone's mind. In addition, she was a good student in the past and never had conflicts with others, so people felt that she must It was Zhao Xuesong who did something wrong.
Listening to people's comments, she smiled and said nothing. Now she just hopes that Zhao Xuesong will not come to her in the future. She wants to start a new life and does not want to have any entanglement with Zhao Xuesong.
At the end of the day's work, the Chu family went to register their work points together, and then went home to cook.
After dinner, Chu Ye washed the dishes and chopsticks, told Father Chu and Mother Chu not to wait for her at night, and then walked out with a cloth bag on her back.
It's dinner time now. Some people can't sit still at home and like to sit outside with their rice bowls. Sometimes several people sit together and chat while eating.
Chu Ye inevitably encountered these people when passing by. Seeing that Chu Ye was carrying a schoolbag, which obviously contained something, they all asked curiously.
Chu Ye had no choice but to stop and reply to his previous sentence: Teach a female educated youth to knit sweaters. When people heard this, they found that there was nothing exciting to see. They casually complimented him on his ability and asked no more questions.
This was the excuse Chu Ye made with Sister Deng yesterday. She didn't want people to know what she was studying, and she had discussed this matter with her elders.
Chu Ye knew in his heart that if people in the village knew that she was studying on her own, they would praise her for her progress and hard work, but behind the scenes they would probably say: For a girl, what is the use of reading so many books? In the end, she is not going to get married.
She didn't want to reveal her plans before taking the exam.
She arrived a little later today. When she walked to the door of the Educated Youth Courtyard, she looked up and saw the lights on the two-story buildings in the yard. They must have had dinner and had gone back to their houses.
But at the gate, there was a man leaning leisurely on the iron gate. When he saw Chu Ye walking in, he came over with a smile, said hello, and led her to the kitchen.
Chu Ye looked very surprised. In this study, there is no reason for teachers to wait for students. She wanted to speak, but she saw Mu Jiajun already standing five meters away. He turned around with a puzzled look on his face, as if asking her why she didn't come in.
After a moment of hesitation, Chu Ye clenched the bag tightly and said, "Well, Mu Zhi - Mu Jiajun, don't wait for me at the door tomorrow."
I originally thought that Mu Jiajun would ask why, but saw him readily agree, "Okay."
Then he motioned for Chu Ye to follow him in, seemingly not taking Chu Ye's words to heart at all.
Not sure if he would listen, Chu Ye muttered in his heart, but still followed quickly.
In the back room of the kitchen, Sister Deng was already sitting in the same position as yesterday. She turned her fingers and looked much more skilled than yesterday.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she raised her head, smiled gently at Chu Ye, and then nodded to signal Chu Ye to sit over quickly.
Chu Ye's heart after a busy day became calm at this moment. Under the light, Sister Deng's face was soft, her head lowered and she was crocheting a sweater. She also had books to read and her own ideals to realize. She felt that God really loved her and gave her so much. A life that can be repeated.
She sat over, took out her textbook, and then took out her old exercise book. This kind of exercise book was a booklet made of dozens of pieces of yellow paper. The name and grade were printed on the cover, and she needed to fill it in by herself.
In the past, at the beginning of each semester, the school would distribute several such notebooks. After the teacher finished the class and assigned homework, he would write the topics on the blackboard, and then let them copy the topics into the notebooks and do them by themselves after class.
What she brought today was a physics and chemistry notebook, which contained a lot of homework assigned by the teacher in previous classes.
What she studied last night was physics and chemistry, and she planned to use the exercises today to solidify her knowledge. After all, when it comes to the exam, the test is still about solving questions.
Mu Jiajun didn't know when he was sitting next to him. He was holding the book he hadn't finished yesterday. Chu Ye glanced at the cover quietly, but saw that the words on it were all in English. She translated it with her own English level, as if It’s about following the trend.
She cried secretly in her heart. Sure enough, the gap between people is sometimes greater than the gap between people and pigs. When she was still struggling with English, some people were already reading such thick English books.
She remembered the "Collection of Birds" that she had opened and glanced at that day. The writing on it was sparse, and she had just accidentally caught a glimpse of the book Mu Jiajun was reading, which was densely packed with English. This was really admirable.
But looking at his short dark brown hair turning golden under the light, Chu Ye felt that he couldn't envy this kind of thing. He has foreign genes, and maybe he has been taught foreign languages since he was a child. It is really not something she can compare with.
Chu Ye first reviewed the knowledge he learned yesterday, and then began to find the corresponding exercises in the exercise book, and then tried to do them again.
Mu Jiajun didn't know when he saw her movements. He spoke softly and said, "Try to think about the knowledge points involved in this question, and then review the knowledge points in your mind."
< br>
After hearing this, Chu Ye did not doubt that he was there, and he followed this method to solve the questions.
In this way, the learning progress will be slower, but once the previous hurdles are overcome, the subsequent grades will improve rapidly.
Chu Ye was so immersed in his studies that he was not even aware of the chirping of insects outside the house, the moon was moving quietly, and the only sounds in the room were the sound of books being turned over, and the sound of sticks and needles being rubbed.
After a while, Chu Ye heard a gentle yawn from beside him.
She turned around and saw Sister Deng raising her arms to wipe the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes. Only then did she notice that it was already dark outside the house and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
Seeing Sister Deng looking over, she pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly, then closed the book and started stuffing it into the cloth bag.
Then she stood up, said goodbye to the two of them, and was about to leave when she saw Mu Jiajun also stood up and took out a flashlight from the desk drawer.
Then he took three steps and two steps at a time, opened the door, and motioned for Chu Ye to follow him.
Chu Ye:······
She heard a "pop" sound, and the flashlight emitted a dazzling white light, illuminating the entire kitchen instantly.
Mu Jiajun turned his head, with a few words shining in his eyes: As a gentleman, I cannot let girls walk alone at night.
Chu Ye had no choice but to worry about wasting time by arguing with him, so he simply tightened his bag and followed him.
It was another night when the moon was shining brightly, and the bumpy dirt road was clearly illuminated. When passing some houses, a dog was awakened and barked at the roadside. When people passed by, it became quiet again.
It must be said that Mu Jiajun is a very cultivated person. He walked silently in front of Chu Ye, always one step away from Chu Ye. The light of the flashlight in his hand kept falling in front of Chu Ye.
Neither of them spoke a word along the way. In this quiet night, only each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
Chu Ye felt that the atmosphere was a little stagnant. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Mu Jiajun, did you borrow this flashlight from the village chief's house?"
As far as she knew, the only one in her village who had a flashlight was the village chief. The last time she rescued people by the river, the village chief led a group of villagers to look for people at night. He had this kind of flashlight in his hand.
She thought that if it was true, then the village chief would be really willing to give it up. His flashlight was as precious as anything else. Mu Jiajun had some skills that he could lend out.
However, in front of him, Mu Jiajun's answer was unexpected. His voice was clear and crisp as the night wind blew into Chu Ye's ears. He said, "No, I ran to town and bought this in the department store this morning. .”
After the words fell, Chu Ye didn't speak anymore. A strange guess arose in her heart. Could it be that Mu Jiajun bought this specially to see her off at night?
As soon as this idea came to her mind, she quickly shook her head and threw away this terrible thought. How could Mu Jiajun be so idle and panicked? Why don't you go to work and buy a flashlight just to give it to her?
She thought she didn't have such a big face.
She guessed that maybe Mu Jiajun was going to buy this, and it was just a convenience to give it to her.
After Mu Jiajun finished answering Chu Ye's words, he saw that Chu Ye did not continue to ask, so he did not speak.
After Chu Ye was sent to the door, he turned around to leave. However, when the flashlight swept under a willow tree not far away, he saw something shaking for a moment.
"What is it?" Mu Jiajun was alert. He stretched out his hand and blocked Chu Ye from behind.
He was tall, and when he stood there, Chu Ye was completely covered in an instant.
He pushed Chu Ye into the yard, then lowered his body, and used the flashlight to explore the area ahead. He saw that the tree was getting closer and closer, and a black figure walked out from behind the tree.
A sinister-looking man appeared in the bright light. He looked like an angry beast, staring directly at Mu Jiajun. Realizing that this was the same person who kicked him to the ground that day, he snorted coldly, "I said you Why has it changed so much? It turns out that she hooked up with another man.”
Zhao Xuesong's eyes fell behind Mu Jiajun, where in the darkness stood Chu Ye.
Zhao Xuesong had a swollen slap mark on his face, which made him look a little embarrassed.
Mu Jiajun took a step forward and stood in front of Zhao Xuesong. He clenched his fists and planned to throw this punch at any time.
In the yard, darkness enveloped Chu Ye, and she said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
do what? Of course I took advantage of the night to do it to you! Let you get married even if you don’t want to marry! It's best to scream louder so that everyone in the village can hear and see, and let your reputation be ruined by me!
Zhao Xuesong did not say it out loud, but the calculation in his eyes was clearly seen by the two of them.
Then his eyes moved nakedly between the two of them, "You, my little cousin, can make plans for yourself, but do you think this is the end of our affairs?"
"Bang!" Mu Jiajun raised his fist, and the wind suddenly started blowing.
Zhao Xuesong was unprepared and was knocked to the ground. Before he could react, Mu Jiajun picked up the flashlight, stuffed it into his mouth by the palm, and then clamped his hands behind his back.
Zhao Xuesong writhed on the ground, trying to break away from the restraints, making a sound of "Uh-huh", and then was kicked hard on the butt by Mu Jiajun.
He stared at Chu Ye with fierce eyes, and Chu Ye naturally saw it. What he did not say was: the matter of killing him in his previous life would not be ended so easily.
Chu Ye narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Zhao Xuesong didn't know what he said while drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant and stand here and say these words.
