Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Jiang Xingye Still Stands Out

Luo Jinhao was stunned for a long time, when Jiang Xingye walked in from outside the courtyard wall, walked up to him, and glanced at his watch, “What’s the matter? What problem is so hard to answer, making you think for so long? It’s been two minutes!”

Luo Jinhao: …

He was dazzled by the watch on his hand.

“Brother Ye, bought a watch? Let me see, let me see!”

Luo Jinhao finally came to his senses. Brother Ye was showing off, absolutely showing off. He effortlessly pulled Jiang Xingye’s hand, just about to grab the watch face, when Jiang Xingye skillfully dodged,

“You can look, but why are you touching? Do you know how expensive this watch is? You can’t just handle it carelessly!”

“Wow, Brother Ye, it’s a Plum Blossom, a Plum Blossom watch! This is imported goods. I mean, Brother Ye, how could you afford to buy imported goods? Isn’t it expensive?”

Luo Jinhao, who frequented the black market, knew a few common imported brands.

Jiang Xingye couldn’t help but curve his lips upward, “Do you think I would afford it? My wife bought it. She insisted on giving me a token of love.

I said just buy a domestic product casually, but my wife refused, saying domestic products don’t look good and wanted to match mine as a pair. Sigh, I had no choice.”

He gave Luo Jinhao a “you don’t understand” look, “Having a fiancée makes it different, many things are not up to yourself, unlike you now, no one bothers you.”

Luo Jinhao was dumbfounded, feeling brushed aside. So what, you have a fiancée, aren’t you amazing!

“Well, the vegetables are all picked, let’s hurry and leave. I need to go to work too. Can’t just skip work now that I have a wife to support. Never mind, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you, with you being single and all!”

Luo Jinhao: “…” How did it become a personal attack?

Jiang Xingye waved his hand, giving him a “you may leave” gesture, and went inside.

Xu Qinghuan woke up, not fully awake yet, hearing a knock at the door, Qing Xiao barked twice, ran over, and opened the courtyard gate latch. Through the window, Xu Qinghuan saw Jiang Xingye entering.

“Why are you here?” Xu Qinghuan yawned, her eyes watery, with two tears still hanging at the corners, and there were pillow marks on her pink cheeks.

Physiological tears.

Jiang Xingye felt a dryness in his throat, his Adam’s apple moved, he lightly coughed to suppress the restless feeling in his heart, “The deputy secretary of the commune came, probably about the threshing machine matter. Uncle asked you to go to the brigade headquarters for a talk.”

“Let me wash my face!” Xu Qinghuan stood still, just woke up, and being forced to get up, she really did not want to move.

Jiang Xingye’s fingers twitched a couple of times, forcibly suppressing them, “I’ll get water for you.”

He fetched water, brought a towel, placed it in the basin, and only then did Xu Qinghuan slowly go over, with her tender hand picking up the towel and wringing it out, like a kitten’s strength.

Jiang Xingye stood behind her, extending both hands, took the towel, first wiped her face with the half-wet towel, then put the towel back in the basin, rinsed it, wrung it dry, and gently wiped the water stains off her face.

He seemed to be wiping a precious national treasure.

Xu Qinghuan was encircled in his arms, closed her eyes, enjoying the devotion-like attentiveness, then her hands were also wiped clean by him, each finger treated with care.

“Ah Ye!” Xu Qinghuan opened her eyes, meeting his gaze, as if countless soft threads wrapped around her tightly, or like a tangible beam of light gently enveloped her.

The towel fell into the water basin, Jiang Xingye wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her towards himself, while the other hand cupped the back of her head, lips pressing down, carrying rapid breaths.

Xu Qinghuan watched his face enlarge abruptly, the deep dark eyes swirling with dark clouds, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she closed her eyes.

Don’t know how long it passed, only feeling the air in her chest was all sucked away, she struggled to push him away, and Jiang Xingye just let go, his ink-stained eyes had a touch of crimson, looking down at the girl gasping against his chest.

His fingertip brushed past Xu Qinghuan’s slightly swollen lips, his voice hoarse beyond reason, “I’ll go pour out the water.”

“Mm!” As she released him, her whole body slid down, Jiang Xingye quickly scooped her up, feeling overwhelmed with emotion again, using the greatest willpower of his life to restrain himself.

He could foresee that every day from now on would not be easy.

It was half an hour later when the two went out, walking side by side, separated by the distance of almost three people, neither saying a word, as if the passionate kiss earlier was a dream they both simultaneously had.

Xu Qinghuan’s gaze swept down past him briefly and then retracted quickly, calming down. She let out a sigh of relief, but her heart raced.

The pants he wore today fit better, not as loose as usual, so it looked quite large just now, making her a bit… nervous, yet curious.

Clearly, she is a doctor, and it wasn’t like she hadn’t seen it in her past life.

Yet she was curious about his.

At the brigade headquarters, a few people were already impatient from waiting. If Jiang Xingye didn’t arrive soon, Jiang Baohua was going to urge him.

“Why took so long?” Jiang Baohua, mindful of Tang Quantong’s presence, had to reprimand.

Tang Quantong quickly intervened, “Hey, we didn’t wait that long, it’s fine, it’s fine!”

Jiang Xingye, expressionless, said, “Took some time to fix two data.”

Xu Qinghuan cast him a glance, unexpectedly discovering this guy had the skill to lie with open eyes. She wasn’t that thick-skinned and lowered her head slightly without speaking, hiding her abnormal lips.

“Did you bring the blueprints?” Tang Quantong asked happily.

“Yes!” Xu Qinghuan nodded, responding lightly.

The harvester was so effective that even though some production team members were very resistant to using machines, its efficiency was high. This greatly contributed to the country’s development of the four modernizations and was the trend of the era.

After the county sent people down to research, they were very supportive, requiring the commune to quickly expand production, uniformly promoting it in the future.

The commune was also highly praised, of course, Xu Qinghuan being rewarded was inevitable. However, since she wanted practical benefits, she wouldn’t receive much publicity in terms of fame.

Otherwise, at this time, the authorities would definitely strongly promote learning from educated youth Xu Qinghuan, giving certain publicity efforts.

Xu Qinghuan wasn’t after fame, but benefit, that was a different matter altogether.

“Comrade Xu, I ask you one last time, are you sure you want four job opportunities and won’t consider other options?” Tang Quantong decided to give this young comrade one more chance.

What benefits could compare to good reputation?

Xu Qinghuan nodded, “Yes, four job opportunities.”

If there were only three, the other job opportunity would be converted into money.

Tang Quantong sighed, still trying to persuade, “Aren’t you considering returning to the city? These three job opportunities are only provided in Anguang County—I think you wouldn’t want to stay in Anguang County forever.”

Even knowing Xu Qinghuan was engaged to Jiang Xingye, wasn’t there no way back to the city? If she could return, he believed these educated youths would all choose to return.

Jiang Baohua’s face looked bad, Jiang Xingye was even more tense and awkward.

“I won’t return to the city. I just want four job placements.”

Xu Qinghuan didn’t want to be famous. During this era, being famous wasn’t a good thing. Become famous now, you might become a target to be overthrown later.

She valued the immediate benefits and what she had in hand more.
