"Xiao Jiang? Xiao Jiang, are you back?"

After hearing Xu Yuanyuan's voice, Jiang Li quickly walked out of the kitchen: "How is your stomach? Does it still hurt?"

Xu Yuanyuan patted her belly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

"That's good. I bought some peaches and apricots in the town. Go wash your hands and come over to eat."

Xu Yuanyuan rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the water tank in front: "It rained heavily today, didn't you get wet? What did you and Comrade Xiao Lu do when you went to town? Without me as a light bulb, you two have nothing No……"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Listening to Xu Yuanyuan's topic gradually going off the rails, Jiang Li coughed twice to stop what she was going to say.

Xu Yuanyuan was squatting on the ground washing her face. She heard Jiang Li's cough and didn't care. After she finished washing her face and was about to continue the topic, Zhou Guoqing and others came back.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang is back."

Lin Jiye and Xi Qingshan greeted Jiang Li.

Zhou Guoqing's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Li in the courtyard, and the fatigue of the day was swept away in an instant!

Jiang Li wore a lake blue dress today. The hem of the skirt reached to her ankles. The belt tied around her waist made her waist more slender. Her delicate skin became more and more creamy under the sunlight, as if it was in bud. As charming as a flower.

Zhou Guoqing looked at Jiang Li blankly, the amazement in his eyes undisguised.

Being stared at so directly by him, Jiang Li frowned in disgust.

Zhou Guoqing seemed not to notice her expression, and walked up to talk to Jiang Li: "Comrade Xiao Jiang is back. I heard you were going to the town today. How was it? Is it busy?"

"It's very lively. Comrade Xiao Zhou, why don't you go to the town tomorrow to have a look?"

Lu Chaoli put down the bowl and walked out of the kitchen, his tall body standing next to Jiang Li.

Everyone present was stunned after seeing Lu Chaoli. Only then did Xu Yuanyuan realize what was going on with Jiang Li's two coughs.

Zhou Guoqing's eyes widened suddenly and he subconsciously asked Lu Chaoli: "Why are you here?"

"Comrade Xiao Jiang bought rice, oil, grains and noodles. The items are too heavy, so I'll help her carry them."

Lu Chaoli explained, Lin Jiye and others showed their faces clearly and did not take this matter to heart, but Zhou Guoqing came to the two of them in a few steps.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, you, you guys went to town together?"

Lu Chaoli didn't expect Zhou Guoqing to ask this. He was about to say that they met at the entrance of the village, but Jiang Li nodded.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Lu Chaoli turned his head to look at Jiang Li in surprise. Jiang Li also turned her head after noticing his movement.

"Thank you for your hard work today. It's getting late, so I'll give you a treat."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she and Lu Chaoli walked towards the gate of the Educated Youth Institute. Zhou Guoqing, who was stunned until the two of them walked out of the Educated Youth Institute, came back to his senses.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang went to town with Lu Chaoli? Did they go to town together?"

Zhou Guoqing stared at Lin Jiye and Xu Yuanyuan standing aside, unable to believe what he just heard.

"Yes, that's what Comrade Xiao Jiang said just now. What's wrong, captain?" Lin Jiye nodded, not quite understanding why Zhou Guoqing reacted so violently.

Is there anything wrong with Comrade Xiao Jiang hitching a ride with Comrade Xiao Lu to go shopping in town?

"How can they, how can they go together?!"

Zhou Guoqing stamped his feet anxiously, as if it was something shameful for Jiang Li to go to town with Lu Chaoli.

Xu Yuanyuan rolled her eyes: "What does the captain mean by this? Is there any problem with Xiao Jiang and Comrade Xiao Lu going to the town together? Why did these words change in the captain's mouth?"

"Lu Chaoli is a person with a criminal record, and it's not like Comrade Xu doesn't know that if Comrade Xiao Jiang gets too close to such a person, he will be led astray sooner or later!"

Zhou Guoqing looked anxious, and he was thinking about Jiang Li both inside and outside his words, but Xu Yuanyuan knew that the reason why he was slandering Lu Chaoli everywhere was just because he was jealous that Lu Chaoli was close to Jiang Li.

"Captain, can you please stop following the wind and rain all the time? Comrade Xiao Lu is very enthusiastic and the villagers praise him when they see him. How come he has a criminal record? How could he lead Xiao Jiang astray?"

"It's just once or twice. The captain keeps saying these unfounded words. It's hard not to make people suspect that you are deliberately targeting Comrade Xiao Lu and sowing discord between us and Comrade Xiao Lu."

Xu Yuanyuan crossed her arms and looked at Zhou Guoqing, mercilessly exposing his little thoughts.

Zhou Guoqing became angry: "You, Comrade Xiao Xu, please be careful what you say! Is this what you should do as an educated young man to make malicious assumptions about others?!"

Xu Yuanyuan sneered: "Isn't the captain just as malicious in making assumptions about Comrade Xiao Lu? Before educating others, captain, please reflect on yourself first, so as not to shoot yourself in the foot and make people think it's ridiculous!"

"you you!"

Zhou Guoqing gritted his teeth for a long time, unable to come up with a retort.

In the end, Xu Yuanyuan, who was reasonable in this argument, had the upper hand. Xu Yuanyuan glanced at the duplicitous Zhou Guoqing lightly, was too lazy to say anything more to him, and turned around to go to the kitchen.

"Look at her, look at her attitude!"

Zhou Guoqing complained about Xu Yuanyuan to Lin Jiye and Xi Qingshan. The two looked at each other and shrugged, ignoring his complaint.

Although they were careless in character and not thoughtful enough, they were not stupid either. After Comrade Xiao Xu spoke out, they also discovered that the captain had always talked about Comrade Xiao Lu and said bad things about him in the past two days.

Isn't this the target of malicious speculation? !

If the scale in my own heart is not level, what qualifications do I have to ask others?

After leaving the Educated Youth Center, Jiang Li and Lu Chaoli walked towards the forest path ahead. Lu Chaoli hesitated to speak several times and held back the words that came to his lips.

Jiang Li tilted her head and looked at him: "Do you have something to say to me?"

Lu Chaoli nodded and asked what he was holding in his heart: "Why did Comrade Xiao Jiang just admit that we went to the town together today? If they find out and say nonsense, it will have a bad impact on Comrade Xiao Jiang."

There was a faint smile in Jiang Li's eyes. She looked up at Lu Chaoli and asked without answering, "Is it something shameful for us to go to the town together?"

Lu Chaoli quickly shook his head: "No."

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows slightly: "That's fine, why are you afraid that they will know? Besides, we are just going to the town to have a meal to repay the favor I owe, and we are not going to steal or rob. If they know, they will know. There’s nothing to hide.”

Lu Chaoli scratched his head: "I'm afraid that people in the village will misunderstand our relationship if they know about it. Comrade Xiao Jiang is afraid that he doesn't know. There are several mother-in-laws in the village who are big speakers and can call black things white. I’m afraid they’ll talk nonsense when they find out.”

Jiang Li stopped when he heard this and looked up at Lu Chaoli.

"What's the relationship between us?"
