Yan Xiaoxi comforted herself in her heart, Zhou Yize must have encountered something delayed on the way back, and he would rush back when the matter was dealt with.

Thinking about it, she put the cake in a big bowl, got down from the earthen kang and moved a small bench to sit in the yard and look straight at the gate.

When Amy came back from the literacy class, she passed by the door and saw Yan Xiaoxi in the courtyard sitting motionless in the dark courtyard.

guessed in her heart that she was waiting for Zhou Yize, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no wonder she would become Zhou Yize's right-hand man, it turned out that she was already so affectionate to him at this time.

"Amy, you, did you see Zhou Yize on the way back? Did something happen to him? ”

Yan Xiaoxi was overjoyed when he saw a person standing at the door of his house, but when he took a few steps forward to see the person at the door, the light in his eyes immediately dimmed. But even so, I still didn't give up and asked.

"No, it's already so dark, I think he should be busy with work, so he didn't come back!"

Amy thought for a moment and replied truthfully.

"Oh, that's it, then you can go back quickly, I'm tired of the day."

Saying that, Yan Xiaoxi lowered his head in some disappointment, stood up, put the bench in the open space under the eaves, said a word towards the door, and returned to the house lonely.

Amy watched her go back, and walked home by herself by the moonlight. I couldn't help but gossip about the relationship between the three people and Zhou Yize's choice.

Yan Xiaoxi returned to the house, slowly cleaned up the things on the table, and thought nonsense in his mind while cleaning up,

"Did Aze just take up his post and encounter the difficulties of the villagers, will that Yu Tongtong take advantage of my absence to pester him, will Aze find out her good, don't let me in the future."

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she was very anxious, so she lay on the table and cried.

The village party secretary and his wife heard her cry, got up with their clothes on, and walked in.

"Xiaoxi, you are a girl, what are you doing in someone's male doll's house, if this spreads, where will I put the old face of the village party secretary."

The village party secretary smoked a cigarette pot and said sharply.

"Village party secretary, village party secretary, do you think it's great for you to be a village party secretary? In the face of the people in the city, I don't have to keep my voice down. ”

Yan Xiaoxi didn't know if he was stimulated by that sentence, changed his previous image, and yelled at his father. After yelling, he ran straight out.

"Look at it, look at it, she can't eat the cannon today, why is she like this. At first glance, you don't usually have a good education. Alas! ”

The village party secretary said angrily to his daughter-in-law.

After several days, Zhou Yize never returned to the village, and Yan Xiaoxi couldn't keep up his spirits.

Amy doesn't have that much time to pay attention to other people's lives, the literacy class is going well, and the people in the village seem to know the importance of learning. It's a lot more than ever. But there are also a few prickly heads.

I just don't know what's going on with this guy Mingke, I find an opportunity to eat at Grandma Wang's house every day, saying that I can't eat in the face of the dirty wall. But Grandma Wang's house is also a dirt wall, could it be that the soil of these two families is different?

"Xiaomi, is the rice almost ready, I'm a little hungry."

On this day, as soon as Gong Mingke got out, he walked in from outside with a hoe, and when he saw Amy lighting a fire in front of the loess stove, he shouted.

"It's almost right, you hurry up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Grandma Wang sat on the clay kang in the room and watched Ming Ke stand the hoe on the earthen wall, walked to the front of the big water tank, scooped a scoop of water and poured it into the basin to wash her hands, and the sound of Amy's stir-fry came from time to time.

This scene is very similar to the daily life of Xiaojun and his daughter-in-law when he is still there. It makes her feel like she has returned to the old days, and she has a feeling called "home".

At the dinner table, several people chatted while eating, and somehow they talked about the village party secretary's family.

"Xiaoxi's girl, I don't know what's wrong with it these days, and the people in the village are rumoring that it was because of Xiao Zhou's child leaving, and they all said that the two talked about each other. But it seems to me that these two children will not succeed, and the reputation of the creek will be ruined by then, alas! Children are the debt of their parents! ”

Grandma Wang stopped her chopsticks and said this paragraph with emotion.

The Niu Niu next to her nodded as if she didn't understand. Amy laughed as she watched.

Ming Ke felt warm in his heart when he looked at her bright smile, and secretly vowed to protect her smile.

"Grandma, how do you know they can't make it, what if they do?"

Amy asked with some curiosity, and by the way, she scooped a bowl of paste for the old man.

The old man didn't say a word, just smiled mysteriously.

In the past few days, for some reason, people outside have avoided it with a smile as soon as they see the village party secretary, and some of them are still leaning together in groups to underestimate something.

When asked why, they didn't say anything, which made him feel his head and was quite strange, until a woman with a big tongue in the village inadvertently leaked a mouthful. The village party secretary learned that the object of their discussion was Yan Xiaoxi.

"I'll tell you, from today onwards you are not allowed to go anywhere except to work, if you let me know that you are carrying me behind your back and secretly waiting for Xiao Zhou at the entrance of the village, I will break your legs."

When the village party secretary said that he was excited, he raised his hand, but in the end, it was the girl who he had been spoiled in the palm of his hand for many years, and he still didn't fight, but slapped it on the table and stared at two big eyes.

Yan Xiaoxi was also frightened by his father's temper, and stood there shrinking up, crying aggrievedly, without saying a word.

When she got off work at night, Yan Xiaoxi walked on the ridge with a farm tool in despair, and Liu Jianfang ran over with a smile and walked side by side with her.

"Xiaoxi, why haven't you been standing at the entrance of the village these days?"

"I, I've been a little busy in the last few days, so I didn't bother with it."

Yan Xiaoxi didn't want to talk to anyone, so he replied hesitantly and left quickly.

But instead of keeping his mouth shut, Liu Jianfang ran a few steps to catch up with him, and persuaded in a low voice,

"Don't say it, I said, Xiaoxi, you have to wait at the entrance of the village, this man is a creature who sees strange things, if you don't pass on the image of infatuation to the brigade next door, then Team Leader Zhou may be snatched away by that Yu Tongtong."

"What are you talking about, the eldest girl's family, I don't care about you if you say these things that are not ashamed."

Hit the center of the matter. Yan Xiaoxi became more and more frightened.

In the past few days, because of the words at the time of parting, she has been entangled, and she wants to believe that Zhou Yize likes her. But the gap between Yu Tongtong and her is clearly there. Even they think each other is excellent, not to mention that they are together every day now, and the book says that they will be in love for a long time......

The next day, Yan Xiaoxi took a day off, and sat on the ox cart to the county with his crossbody cloth on his back, with a happy face.

Because most of the people were at work at this time, no one noticed her.

When she returned in the afternoon, Amy was on her way to a literacy class. I saw Yan Xiaoxi happily preparing to get off the ox cart.

"Amy, you see, I just bought the headband from the city today. Is it good-looking? ”

"Well, it's pretty good. Are you in town today? ”

Amy said subconsciously, but somehow, after Yan Xiaoxi heard this, the smile on her face froze. Then it returned to normal,

"Yes, I'm running out of groceries at home, so I went to the city to buy some. Are you going to a literacy class now? ”

Amy nodded and didn't speak.

Yan Xiaoxi smiled and spoke again, "Then you go quickly, don't make people wait for a long time, I won't delay you here." I'll go home first. ”

After saying that, he walked back with brisk steps.

Her appearance made Amy a little surprised, how could she be so happy today when she was thinking about the frosted eggplant yesterday.

Thinking of this, Amy shook her head a little funny, after living here for so long, she has become so gossipy.

After giving a lecture to the villagers in the literacy class as usual today, Amy walked to the back of the house and took a few pieces of toffee from the space and gave it to Niuniu when no one was around.

This kid has learned a lot lately, and his curiosity is getting stronger and stronger day by day, and every time he catches her, he always asks her about her relationship with Mingke. She answered no less than 100 times, but she didn't believe it, if it wasn't for the lure of toffee, she really didn't know how to face her.

No, how can this be so much like two people having an improper relationship between men and women. The two of them are obviously the most ordinary good friends. Amy, you're fallen, and what's going on in your head every day!

Amy kept complaining in her heart.

However, when her mind flashed to Mingke's handsome face. There was a strange feeling in my heart.

When I returned to Grandma Wang's house, it was already completely dark, and Grandma Wang had already prepared a meal and was serving it to the table. Mingke was also on the side to help. Amy was a little afraid to look him in the eye today, and quickly finished the food in the bowl. I rushed to put away the dishes and chopsticks on the stove.

Grandma Wang and Ming Ke didn't know why, only Niuniu sat there alone and covered her mouth and smiled.

A few days later, there was news that shocked the whole village, that is, Zhou Yize was coming back from the village.

It is said that someone handed a report letter to the above, saying that there are educated youths in Mao'er Village who have come to work in the city. Some of the people who heard the news gloated, and some said that Zhou Yize didn't have the ability to seize such a good opportunity, if he gave this opportunity to others......

When everyone was talking, Zhou Yize came back, different from when he left, when he came back, the face of the village party secretary was not particularly good. Because of this incident, all the cadres involved, including Yu Tongtong and the village party secretary, received criticism.
