Chapter 160 The Change of Jingru

by the creek.

There are tall blue stone ridges on the left and right, blocking the hot sun.

Gently blowing, bringing bursts of coolness.

Qin Jingru was carried by Jiang Ping'an, leaning in his arms, holding his neck with both hands, blushing.

Her clothes and trousers were scattered on the stone slab.

She was wearing a pink cloth bag all over her body, her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were sweating, and her skin was even more rosy.

"Ping An, if the Red Star Commune is close to the city, I can't wait to see you every day." Qin Jingru said affectionately.

Then he frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and leaned gently in Jiang Pingan's arms, as if thinking about something.

"The past two years have not been very good, and there have been few recruits in the city." Jiang Ping'an said softly after shaking twice.

"So don't be in a hurry about your going to the city for the time being. I'll have to inquire everywhere, and I'll always find you a good job."

Qin Jingru hummed, pouted, and said delicately:

"But I always miss you, what should I do? You see, I've lost weight!"

"You're already thin!" Jiang Ping'an chuckled.

Qin Jingru shook, let out a breath slowly, and said coquettishly: "No, I miss you so much."

"Okay, okay, even if you want me to be thin!" Jiang Ping'an said dotingly.

Qin Jingru giggled and said shyly, "Have you calmed down? Can you put me down?"

"It's almost there, the aftertaste is long, this is, hehe..." Jiang Pingan smiled lightly, and put her down slowly.

Qin Jingru's legs gave way and he almost fell, but was held up by Jiang Ping'an.

"It's okay, today is much better than last time, but I feel a little empty."

Qin Jingru gritted her teeth, said softly, and let out a sigh of relief, she squatted down to recover her strength.

At this time, Jiang Ping'an handed over a stack of handkerchiefs.

Qin Jingru hesitated and said: "There is clear water in the ditch, why don't we waste the handkerchief? It's too wasteful."

"You clipped it for me last time, I washed it and hid it quietly."

"It's a pity that I didn't know you were showing it here before I came, or I would have brought it with me."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "I'll take it for you. The raw water is not clean, and washing it is not good for your health."

"Oh... what a pity, such a nice handkerchief."

Qin Jingru muttered, took the handkerchief, opened it a little, and lowered her head to wipe it.

Jiang Pingan watched with great interest, while Qin Jingru looked both ashamed and happy, not hiding at all.

The two packed up and went back along the path.

"Ping An, I'll come and see you in the afternoon, okay?" Qin Jingru chirped.

Since she was with Jiang Ping'an last time, she has become more and more attached to Jiang Ping'an.

Now that they met again, she wished she could stay with Jiang Ping'an every day.

Jiang Pingan asked with a smile, "Are you free to do this afternoon?"

"Well, today is mainly lively at night, but you can play around during the day." Qin Jingru explained expectantly.

Jiang Pingan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, but you have to be careful, don't be careless!"

"Understood, I still want to be famous!" Qin Jingru said happily, jumping up and down, very happy.

After jumping a few times, he stopped quickly, took a catwalk, and smiled silly at Jiang Ping'an, a little embarrassed.

"This...that, I still have to go back and wash it quietly, otherwise the weather will stink soon."

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Okay, then go back quickly, and I will go to your grandfather's house after lunch."

"Then you must come, I'll wait for you at Grandpa's house." Qin Jingru reluctantly said.

At the fork in the road, the two separated, and Jiang Ping'an walked slowly to Zhao Yuguang's house.

Zhao Yuguang paced slowly under the eaves of his house, smoking a dry cigarette, and lowered his head to think about things.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw that it was Jiang Ping'an with a smile on his face.

"Are you here safely? Tell you something, please come with me to the ear room to have a look."

Jiang Pingan nodded with a smile, and followed Zhao Yuguang to the ear room.

Pushing open the door, Zhao Yuguang pointed to a chicken coop in the corner and said:

"There is nothing good in the countryside. Not long ago, the brigade sent a hen."

"In addition, our production team also gathered some egg, garlic, shiitake mushroom vermicelli and so on."

"It's all produced in the countryside, it's not a good thing, I hope you're safe and don't think it's shabby."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's not shabby, it's too expensive, Team Zhao is too polite."

"Don't worry, I will play the three movies tonight, and I will make the folks happy."

Zhao Yuguang smiled knowingly and said, "That's good, please be safe..."

The two came out of the side room and sat down in the main room to drink tea and chat. After a while, several cadres from the brigade came.

It was another good exchange of pleasantries, and after hearing that Jiang Ping'an would show three movies, they all beamed with joy.

The first team showed three movies, but if the sixth team only showed two movies, it would be inferior.

After a short rest, the food was served.

Needless to say the food, the conditions of each brigade in Nantai Commune are not bad, with meat, vegetables and wine.

Pushing the cup for a change, Jiang Ping'an maintained a modest and gentle style, and respected all the leaders.

Drinking, if you come, you will not refuse.

There were those gags, and he would pick up a few words from time to time to make fun of it, and the meal was quite lively.

After eating and drinking enough, the leaders had something to do, so they left first, and made an appointment to meet again in the evening.

After sending the leader away, Zhao Guangyu arranged for Jiang Pingan to rest.

"I won't make any arrangements for now. I'll go to Zhao Laokou's house." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Zhao Guangyu nodded and said, "It's just right, I want to go over and have a look, arrange some things, and go with you."

So the two went to Zhao Laokou's house. On the way, Zhao Guangyu gave a thumbs up and said in admiration:

"Ping'an's drinking capacity is like this. I can see that you are worried about the leader, so you don't open your mouth to drink."

"I reckon that with your drinking capacity, if you drink two catties of baijiu, you should be drunk, right?"

Although he didn't serve the table, he was always on the sidelines to keep an eye on the situation at the dinner table, helping out with others.

"Where, where, I'm also drinking hard. In fact, I don't drink much." Jiang Ping'an said modestly.

Zhao Guangyu laughed and said, "No matter what you say, I believe it won't be long."

"You Jiang Ping'an's reputation for drinking, eating, and strength will spread in Nantai Commune."

Jiang Pingan said with a wry smile: "Well, I don't want this reputation!"

"Actually, many people in your commune know me, and this reputation has already spread."

Zhao Guangyu laughed out loud, and suddenly said:
"No wonder when I went to the commune yesterday, someone mentioned everything about you. It seems that I am ignorant."

Jiang Pingan explained with a smile:
"The main reason is that when I was building rivers in the countryside, I dealt with a large group of people there."

While talking, the two arrived at Zhao Laokou's house.

Although Zhao Laokou has no son, the two daughters are still of one mind, no different from having a son.

So I also tied the wood of the flag pole, set up the support, and invited the drummer to wear it.

At the same time, Mr. Burning Paper was invited to recite the scriptures.

These days, relatives come over to give favors.

Most of them are one yuan and two yuan in cash, three thousand and five thousand grass ingots (silver ingots made of paper made of grass) and one or two bundles of yellow straw paper (commonly known as yellow money).

Neighbors give favors with three or five cents, and those with seven or eight cents are quite large favors.

Granddaughters like Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru rushed here yesterday.

But mostly relatives.

After getting the letter yesterday, those who were far away only got up early to come here today, and those who were close only came in the afternoon.

Vegetarian rice is mainly made of corn rice, pickles, beans and soy products. There are no meat dishes, and no alcohol or tobacco is used.
