1970s: Farming and Supporting Yourself

46-50

Chapter 046 Fiancée

The next morning, Shen Zhuo went to Xu's Chinese Medicine Shop carrying a bamboo basket. In addition to the cabbage and radishes that are common in winter, there are also some onions, garlic, celery, a handful of dried beans, and some corn and sweet potatoes that were previously divided.

Dr. Xu was stunned when he saw more than half of the basket, "I thought you were carrying medicinal materials to sell - why are you carrying so many vegetables?"

Shen Zhuo said, "I don't have time to go up the mountain to collect herbs during this period. This is what I brought here. " Food for you. The team has just distributed food, and there are a lot of grains. Ye Xin asked me to bring some for you to eat. "

Actually, he thought it was too much, so just give him some vegetables. It would be a bit heavy to give too much. .

But Ye Xin said that he would have to leave his car at his house every day, which was troublesome after all. Even if Mrs. Xu didn't have any objections, she didn't know if his family would have any objections if they knew about it, so they might as well give more as a gift to many people. Strange.

In fact, Ye Xin felt that now she and Shen Zhuo were not short of food or vegetables, and they even had more than they could eat. And the sweet potatoes and corn that the team got were not that good, and they were not as good as those produced in her space. She had quietly replaced all the food that could be replaced at home with those produced in space, so these grains were a little bit awkward to store. It's embarrassing, and it's hard to give it away. Nowadays it is rare to have an excuse to give something away, so of course I have to take advantage of the opportunity to give away more.

Anyway, these things are not worth much, they are not eye-catching, and they are actually edible things to give to others. If they sell well, why not?

Shen Zhuo was afraid that Dr. Xu would not accept it, so he immediately told him that the bicycle had encountered some problems at the school and wanted to put it here later.

Doctor Xu is also a person who has a clear mind and has experienced everything. Even if Shen Zhuo doesn't say the specific thing, he probably understands it. He can't help but shake his head and sigh: "There are always some bad people in this world."

He knows that it is probably not good for him not to accept him . It's troublesome for me, so I didn't refuse, accepted the food, nodded and said: "Okay, you can leave the car here with me when you come in the morning and pick it up at night. Anyway, my shop is open every day, so it won't be a problem. "You come at this time every day?"

Shen Zhuo felt relieved and quickly said, "Thank you. I usually come around eight-thirty."

Doctor Xu smiled and said, "Okay, I will open the door at eight o'clock at the latest. " It's okay. You can come here every day."

Shen Zhuo thanked him again before leaving the medicine shop with the bamboo basket on his back.

He walked towards the school. The time was neither early nor late, and his pace was neither fast nor slow.

As he walked, he thought about who was targeting him and causing mischief secretly.

When I faced Ye Xin last night, although I said I could solve it, I actually had no idea how to solve it. All he knew was that he couldn't let her bother or worry anymore, otherwise he would appear to be too useless.

He was quite puzzled by what Ye Xin said, "You don't realize the essence of the matter at all", but he realized that the root cause of the matter was not his family conditions, but another reason, but what exactly was it?

He walked into the school with a frown and walked towards the classroom where the training class was held.

The time is now around 8:45, and students are arriving one after another. When they see Shen Zhuo carrying a bamboo basket that is not old, they all look at him in surprise.

Almost all of the people who come to participate in the training are from the countryside. They don't have any bags at home. The most common thing they use to carry things is bamboo straw. Most people carry a backpack and put notebooks, pens and ink, lunch boxes and other necessary things in it. Moreover, some people's homes are far away. If they have something to buy at home, they can also buy it back at the same time. There is a lot of space in the backpack for loading things.

But Shen Zhuo had never carried a basket before. He only carried a brand new and beautiful cloth bag. This is also a place where he is different from others.

Shen Zhuo noticed that others were looking at him, so instead of lowering his head and ignoring it like before, he also looked up.

He needs to keep his eyes open to find out who caused the trouble!

Those people looked at him with his cold eyes and looked away in embarrassment.

When he was almost walking to the classroom, a female student's voice came from behind, "Shen Zhuo, why are you carrying a backpack today?"

Shen Zhuo recognized the voice and looked back. Sure enough, he thought he didn't bring any money last night. , the female student who wanted to lend him money to repair his car, he remembered that others called her Lin Xiuwan.

He just nodded and said nothing.

It's not rude, I just feel like there's nothing to explain about carrying a backpack.

Lin Xiuwan walked a few steps to him. Seeing that he didn't say anything and didn't care, she asked again: "Didn't you come by bike today? I didn't see your car in the carport. Was it because the car wasn't repaired yesterday? That's why you didn't come by bike today. , Is it serious? ..."

Shen Zhuo gradually frowned as he listened.

He began to think in his mind, why is this Lin Xiuwan so concerned about whether he rides a bicycle? She still recognizes his car, could it be her?

Fortunately, Lin Xiuwan didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise she would probably vomit blood.

She continued: "...Did you go back very late last night? Your family, uh, isn't..." She remembered in time that both Shen Zhuo's parents were dead and he had no brothers or sisters. He was the only one in the family, so It's probably not because he was blamed by his family.

After much deliberation, there was only one explanation, and that was that the car was too damaged and had not been repaired. Not only did Shen Zhuo have to go back in the dark last night, but he also couldn't ride here today.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Zhuo is so pitiful, and the evil person is so wicked!

Lin Xiuwan was filled with indignation for him, and just as she was about to scold him, Shen Zhuo finally spoke.

His voice was cold, polite and distant: "The car has been repaired, thank you."

He felt that Lin Xiuwan, a girl with such a sense of justice, should not be a troublemaker. After making his judgment, he no longer wasted time, nodded to her, and then entered the classroom first.

Lin Xiuwan was stunned and couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

A male student caught up at this time and said angrily: "Hey, Lin Xiuwan, are you here to care about me so early in the morning?"

He looked at Shen Zhuo's back as he entered the classroom and sneered: "Finally, he is no longer that aloof? He also started walking and carrying a basket like everyone else. Did he get scolded when he went back last night? Oh, no, he has no parents at all, and no one scolded him, haha!"

Lin Xiuwan's eyebrows stood up and she turned around to stare. She glanced at him: "Xiao Tianbao, why are you so annoying!" She ignored him and walked into the classroom.

Xiao Tianbao had a gloomy expression from behind and said to himself: "I hate it? Shen Zhuo is the only one who likes that pretty boy, right??"

...

Shen Zhuo entered the classroom, and several other people in the brigade were there. The number of seats in the training class was not fixed at first. Some people changed in the first few days, but then it was gradually settled. Basically, each brigade sat together. The seats of Fengshui brigade were not good seats. No one came to grab them, so they stayed there. Untouched.

Huang Zhihao was a little surprised when he saw him: "Why are you here with a basket on your back today? Do you want to buy something?"

Shen Zhuo then realized that he was a bit out of the team if he didn't carry a basket on his back before. Huang Zhihao also carries a basket on his back and usually puts it under his desk during class.

He took off his backpack and went in. He also put the backpack under the desk and said, "I carried something on my back today."

Huang Zhihao glanced at his empty backpack and expressed doubts. Just as I was about to ask, Lee Kuan Yew came over.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were still a few minutes left before class, Lee Kuan Yew asked Shen Zhuo in a low voice: "The tire of your bicycle was punctured yesterday?"

Huang Zhihao was immediately diverted: "Is this the case?"

Shen Zhuo didn't expect Lee Kuan Yew to know about this so quickly.

However, yesterday when he discovered that the tire was broken, people were coming and going. Many people saw it, so it was normal for the news to spread.

He just nodded.

Huang Zhihao suddenly became angry, "Who is so evil!"

Shen Zhuo is so pitiful, why would anyone do evil? ?

After Shen Zhuo gave him delicious food twice, Huang Zhihao felt that he was cold-faced and warm-hearted, and already regarded him as a friend. He held his thick fist and wanted to beat someone for him: "Do you know who did it?"

Shen Zhuo said : Zhuo shook his head, he was worried about this.

In the morning, Ye Xin warned him again, asking him to slowly find out that person. He didn't necessarily have to take revenge, but he had to know who it was. Only if he knew it could he take precautions.

Because he had no clue, he simply talked to the two of them: "I can't figure it out, why is someone holding me tight? What's wrong with me?"

Huang Zhihao nodded: "That's right! You usually don't cause trouble, and you don't talk much. Who can I say to disturb you? There must be someone with a bad heart who enjoys harming others!"

Lee Kuan Yew was much more attentive and looked at Shen Zhuo, hesitant to speak. But it was almost time, so he whispered: "Let's go to class first, and I'll tell you about lunch."

Shen Zhuo immediately understood that he had a clue, and couldn't wait to say: "Follow me after the second class." He said, "The first two sessions are Dr. Wang's classes, which are usually connected and difficult to leave.

Lee Kuan Yew nodded: "Okay."

After the second class, the two of them went out. Huang Zhihao also wanted to follow, but Lee Kuan Yew asked him to stay and everyone else to go, otherwise Meng Chunlan might think it was a matter of the brigade and have to follow.

The two of them arrived at the quiet place where they had been talking. They didn't have much time. Lee Kuan Yew didn't hesitate and directly pointed out the crux of the problem - it was the jealousy of boys caused by the admiration of girls.

Shen Zhuo was a little confused and thought he heard wrongly: "Girls admire you? You mean, admire me?"

Seeing him like this, Lee Kuan Yew knew that he had never thought about this aspect, so he simply broke it off with him to make it clearer. : "After the last explanation, although the speculation about your family situation has stopped, some female students feel that you are very pitiful, maybe out of sympathy, so they... uh, like you even more. Then I guess, admiring these women The male students hate you because of this."

After hearing this, Shen Zhuo couldn't understand it and frowned: "What is there to like about me?"

Lee Kuan Yew looked at his fair and handsome face. , speechless for a moment.

He also knew that Shen Zhuo was engaged. He didn't say it when he explained it before because he felt it was unnecessary. At that time, no one expected what would happen next.

He reminded and helped Shen Zhuo entirely out of the unity and mutual assistance of a brigade, but the reason for this is that Shen Zhuo is good-looking... It makes people feel quite complicated when talking about it.

Lee Kuan Yew finally said: "You can handle this matter yourself, I won't help you."

Shen Zhuo nodded, knowing that he needed to solve it himself.

After saying that, the two went back to continue class.

Shen Zhuo was rarely distracted. Fortunately, the next class is about Chinese medicine. He has a good foundation. He knows a lot of knowledge and keeps it in mind. It doesn't matter if he loses focus for a while.

He thought about what Lee Kuan Yew said just now. Although he felt that he couldn't understand it, it did make sense for this reason.

No wonder Ye Xin said last night that he didn't realize the essence of the matter at all. This essence... She is so smart, did she understand it as soon as she heard it? Then will she be angry, thinking that he is attracting attention in the training class?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhuo became a little angry.

Then he thought about how to solve this problem quickly.

Now that we understand the crux of the problem, the solution is simple. Just tell him that he is engaged and already has a fiancée. Those who like people randomly will not like him, right? Those who hate him should also stop.

Shen Zhuo's frown finally relaxed.

Without further ado, he decided to say it over lunch.

But you have to think about how to speak. It's embarrassing to say this for no reason...

After the fourth class, everyone's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and their stomachs began to sing "empty city plan". They all took out their lunch and got up to get hot water.

Huang Zhihao fetched hot water and came back to soak the dry noodle pancakes. When he was about to eat, he found Shen Zhuo looking at him, so he asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhuo pointed to his water cup and lunch box and asked him: "Do you know this Who bought it for me?"

Huang Zhihao was stunned, "Didn't you collect the medicine yourself and save money to buy it for yourself?"

Shen Zhuo shook his head and said seriously: "My fiancée bought it for me."

Huang Zhihao was very surprised . Surprised, his eyes widened: "What? Are you already engaged?"

Because of his surprise, Huang Zhihao's voice was a bit loud, so Lee Kuan Yew, Meng Chunlan and those at the front and back tables all heard it and looked over.

Shen Zhuo took out leather gloves, a woolen scarf, and a Lei Feng hat from his shoulder bag, and continued: "My fiancée bought these for me too."

Huang Zhihao was filled with envy: "Your fiancée is so good to you!"

More people He looked over, shocked and confused.

Shen Zhuo nodded: "Well, she is very kind to me. Look at my bag, she drew it and taught me how to make it. She is smart and careful..."

Huang Zhihao began to feel sour.

Others also fell silent.

Now everyone can see that Shen Zhuo is deliberately showing off his fiancée. Not only is he engaged, but his fiancée is very, very nice to him.

And this was the logical way Shen Zhuo came up with after thinking about it for two lessons to say that he was engaged.

He thought the effect was very good.
