Meng Yinyin opened her eyes angrily, then stared at the ceiling of the educated youth dormitory in a daze with a frown.
What's wrong with her lately? Why has she been having these weird dreams for several days in a row
What's strange is that although those dreams seem outrageous individually, when Meng Yinyin occasionally strings them together, it seems that there is a main line, and those separate dream fragments all revolve around the main line.
She racked her brains and tried carefully to string together all the dreams she had during this period, but unfortunately she still couldn't find any clues to the truth.
Could it be that she was overthinking, and this was just a random dream she had in her sleep
In the end, Meng Yinyin could only shake her head and ignore the matter for the time being.
After all, what is imminent now is the matter with Lu Chen, which is an important factor affecting whether she can stay safely in the Nanjiao Brigade!
It was time to go to work in the afternoon. Even if Meng Yinyin felt embarrassed, she had to rush to the place where she worked in the morning.
When she went there, Lu Chen had already arrived as usual.
But he was different at this moment, because he did not go directly to the fields to work, but stood on the shore.
Looking at his back, Meng Yinyin paused and suddenly felt a little afraid to move forward.
But Lu Chen had sharp hearing and soon discovered Meng Yinyin's footsteps.
After hesitating for a moment, he chose to turn around and look at her.
There was a distance between the two of them, one was looking at the other, while the other's eyes were wandering, not daring to look at each other at all.
In the end, it was Lu Chen who spoke first.
He said.
"Meng, educated youth, are you hungry?"
Meng Yinyin's expression paused, then she looked up at Lu Chen in confusion, obviously not expecting Lu Chen to ask her such a question.
Why did he suddenly ask himself if he was hungry? She had just had lunch over an hour ago. Although she didn't eat much, she shouldn't be hungry so soon.
Wait, could it be!
As if she had thought of something, Meng Yinyin hesitated for a second, then nodded cautiously.
"A little hungry."
Forgive her for lying, but she really wanted to eat meat!
And the next second after she responded, she saw Lu Chen's expression as if he was relieved, then he lowered his head and took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his body.
After taking it out, he carefully unfolded the handkerchief and spread it in the palm of his hand.
Then, Meng Yinyin saw the familiar strips of dried meat.
It’s jerky, it’s jerky!
At that moment, Meng Yinyin felt that her eyes seemed to be glowing.
Seeing her staring at the dried meat in his hand motionlessly, Lu Chen's brows relaxed, and he finally felt relieved.
"Eat it. If it's not enough, there's more at home."
In fact, what he wanted to say more was that in addition to dried meat, he actually had a lot of food at home. If she was willing, she could go directly to his house to take a look.
But these words sounded a bit reckless and like a hooligan.
So Lu Chen could only choose to swallow his words.
At this moment, all of Meng Yinyin's attention was on the dried meat in Lu Chen's hand. How could she spare the time to pay attention to his expression? Naturally, she regretfully missed something that was absolutely great news for her.
But after being happy, she thought about how she was silently "rejected" by Lu Chen in the morning. If she reached out to take it now, would it seem like she had no position
However, this thought only lasted less than two seconds before it was forcibly suppressed by Meng Yinyin.
What no stance!
It's not like she has no money. At most, she can just pay Lu Chen for whatever she eats!
Humph, besides, he took it out on his own initiative. Who knows if he wanted to apologize to her
If she didn't give Lu Chen this opportunity, wouldn't it seem that she was very unkind
So Meng Yinyin thought about it and quickly convinced herself.
Of course, he still had to put on an expression that said, "You treated me to this meal so I'm not asking you for it shamelessly," and then he reached out and took two pieces of jerky from Lu Chen with dignity.
"Don't you want the rest?" Seeing that she only took such a small amount, Lu Chen frowned and spoke subconsciously.
Meng Yinyin: “…!!!”
You said this yourself!
Meng Yinyin glared at Lu Chen angrily, then ruthlessly snatched all the dried meat from his hands, while not forgetting to prove herself.
"You asked me to take all of this!"
Lu Chen hummed good-naturedly, without any intention of regretting.
Even when he saw Meng Yinyin holding the dried meat and his usual handkerchief in her arms like a little hamster, his heart was filled with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
It seemed that as long as Meng Yinyin was happy, he would be happy too.
Retracting his gaze, Lu Chen turned his head to hide the unconscious upturned corners of his mouth.
"I'm going to work."
After handing the things to Meng Yinyin, Lu Chen did not delay any longer and continued to work in the fields.
Meng Yinyin also noticed Lu Chen going to the field out of the corner of her eye. She moved her lips. In fact, she really wanted to ask Lu Chen what he was thinking at the moment, and what was the meaning of sending her dried meat, and whether it was simply to express his apology for what happened in the morning.
Or has he decided to be with her and take care of her from now on
But before he could open his mouth to ask, he saw Lu Chen had already walked a long way away.
She was immediately discouraged and could only wait for Lu Chen to come over and ask again.
But she didn't know that while she was waiting for Lu Chen to finish his work, a piece of news about her spread quickly throughout most of the Nanjiao Brigade as if it had wings.
No one was too lazy to trace where the news first came from, because all their attention was now focused on the content of the news.
"What? I thought Meng Zhiqing had very high standards, but I didn't expect that she would actually fall in love with Lu Chen?"
"Oh my god, doesn't she know about Lu Chen's affairs? How dare she get involved with Lu Chen!"
"But I didn't realize she could make clothes. I wonder how well she does it. Tsk, I hope it's as messy as her other work."
"I'm just curious about when they'll get married, but I don't think Meng Zhiqing is someone who can live a normal life. He's probably just teasing that kid Lu Chen."
Regarding the news that "Meng Yinyin gave Lu Chen a piece of clothing and the two were suspected to be dating", some people were watching for fun, some did not believe it, and of course, there were also those who were pessimistic.
But it is undeniable that basically everyone who heard the news was not optimistic about the couple Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen.
And somehow this news got spread and even reached the ears of the captain.
When the captain heard the news, he was so panicked.
He never thought that such a "rumor" would spread between Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen.
That’s right, in the captain’s opinion, this is definitely a rumor!
After all, one is a cold man who only cares about work points and work and has no idea what love is, and the other is an educated youth who can barely afford to eat and has no other messy thoughts. Shouldn't one of them teach seriously and the other study hard? How could they have the time to date
In the eyes of the simple team leader, survival is the top priority. Before the problem of food and clothing is solved, no one will have the mind to think about anything else.
However, although he believed that Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen were absolutely innocent, the rumors had actually reached him. He had to go and remind Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen to pay more attention or not take these things to heart.
And speaking of Meng Yinyin, the team leader remembered that he had not paid attention to Meng Yinyin's work points for a long time. He was too busy during this period and didn't even check the work points book.
Now that he had time, he went to find Song Yue and asked him about Meng Yinyin's situation.
When Song Yue heard this, he immediately showed an embarrassed expression.
When the captain saw him like this, he immediately felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next second, he heard Song Yue say: "Captain, during this period of time, Meng Zhiqing's work points are all zero..."
This was of course due to the fact that he went to Meng Yinyin's workplace every day to wait there, preventing her from taking advantage of the opportunity.
At the same time, he was also very clear that Meng Yinyin was definitely very sad about herself, but what did it have to do with him? Why didn't she think of him when she rejected him in front of so many people
So this is all Meng Yinyin’s own fault!
The captain certainly didn't know the grudge between Meng Yinyin and Song Yue. When he saw the long string of zeros after Meng Yinyin's name, he felt like he was about to faint from anger!
How could there be such a stubborn person!
No, I must educate her properly!
Thinking of this, the team leader took the work points book and walked angrily towards where Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen were working.
Maybe it was because Meng Yinyin had a sharp intuition, but she always felt as if some danger was approaching. She was so scared that she couldn't even sleep. She quickly got up and called Lu Chen over.
Lu Chen was worried that something had happened to her, so he hurried up from the field.
As soon as he walked to Meng Yinyin, the captain came over hurriedly.
Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen were seen standing by the field, their legs covered in mud, and it was obvious that they had just worked in the field.
The other one, on the other hand, was standing on the shore, looking relaxed and clean, as if he had done nothing!
The team leader looked at his watch and found that it was already five o'clock, and there was only half an hour left before the end of work.
As a result, Meng Yinyin, she didn't do anything!
Isn't this a waste of his efforts
The captain was angrier than ever before, and at the same time he finally confirmed one thing, that is, Meng Yinyin was indeed hopeless.
"Meng Zhiqing! What are you doing? You have such a long time and such a good opportunity, but you don't follow Lu Chen to learn farm work. You are also lazy. You don't think about our team. You should also think about yourself!"
The captain was heartbroken.
"Do you know that if you don't have work points, you won't have food, you won't have anything to eat, and you'll be hungry. Starvation can kill you!"
Meng Yinyin had never expected that the captain would come so suddenly and was completely shocked by his appearance.
Before she could recover from the captain's words, she heard him continue, "Why don't you just do something else? You're still dating while you're working. You, you, you, what on earth are you thinking? Can dating be more important than work points?"
If she wasn't sure that the captain was really angry at the moment, Meng Yinyin really wanted to nod sincerely and answer: For her, the object is indeed more important than work points.
After all, if she wants to survive in the countryside, she absolutely cannot do without a "partner"!
But she was afraid that if she told the truth, the captain would be so angry that he would faint, so Meng Yinyin could only lower her head and look ashamed.
Lu Chen on the side finally realized something, frowned, and asked the captain in a deep voice.
"Captain, the matter between me and Meng Zhiqing..."
He originally wanted to say that it was not the case, because he was not sure whether saying it would ruin Meng Yinyin's reputation.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the angry captain.
"Don't ask me how I know this. I guess the whole team knows about you two now. You guys are really good at dating. You let everyone know about it. Are you afraid that it won't work out?"
What
Everyone knows that she and Lu Chen are dating, what's going on? !
She was certain and certain that the matter between her and Lu Chen was only known to her, not even Yu Xiaoyu had told her!
And what made her most angry was that she was clearly rejected by Lu Chen. Who on earth was spreading rumors outside
If other people knew that her relationship with Lu Chen didn't work out and that she was rejected, she would be so embarrassed!
Meng Yinyin was so angry that her lips were about to pout to the sky. She wished she could catch the person who spread the rumor and cut him into pieces!
After hearing the captain's words, Lu Chen's face darkened. He thought more than Meng Yinyin.
