Chapter 42 My Educated Youth Husband is Gone and Never to Return
This truth-telling talisman was chosen by Jiang He after much consideration.
It will only make them tell the truth, say what they really think.
The Zhao siblings are masters at deceiving others.
They try to hide their selfishness, hypocrisy, and pretentiousness from others.
That truth symbol is to shatter their filters.
Destroy their carefully crafted facade.
Their wickedness was laid bare before everyone.
Therefore, they will directly clash with Jiang Heqi this morning.
At the supply and marketing cooperative, they would directly break ties with her.
In the educated youth compound, in front of all the members of Dayang Brigade, they revealed their selfish side.
After this incident, everyone has seen the true colors of these two people.
"Auntie, let's go to the mountain to pick wild fruits."
"Okay, let's go together."
Jiang He led Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao to pick wild fruits on the mountain. Si Bao and Wu Bao were too young, so she didn't take them.
Jiang He tilted her head as she looked at Zhao Guangming who appeared in front of her.
"Comrade Jiang, do you want to pick this wild fruit? Do you need any help?"
"Uncle, we can pick the wild fruit ourselves, we don't need your help." Da Bao stopped Zhao Guangming.
He felt that the uncle wanted to steal the wild fruit.
They've been guarding this tree for days, and now the wild fruit looks ready to eat. They can't let anyone else pick it.
"Children, I just wanted to help you pick wild fruits. This tree is so tall, and you are too small to reach the top. The fruits at the top are the sweetest."
With a kind smile on his face, Zhao Guangming squatted down in front of Da Bao and explained to him.
Zhao Guangming is really shameless; has he completely forgotten about the previous conflicts?
There is no such thing as an unprovoked approach; it is always a premeditated arrangement.
Zhao Guangming must have been following them for several days before he appeared at such a convenient time.
After all, she had only come up the mountain with Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao to pick this wild fruit in the last two days.
"I can climb trees, I can climb up and pick them," Da Bao said proudly, showing off his skill.
"You can climb trees? That's really amazing! Uncle can't climb trees." Zhao Guangming gave a thumbs up.
Da Bao was very happy to be praised for his abilities.
"Uncle, you can't climb trees, that's so useless. Even Erbao and Sanbao can climb trees." Although Erbao and Sanbao are girls, climbing trees is a compulsory course for children in the countryside.
Zhao Guangming's smile was a little stiff, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Although my brother can't climb trees, he's tall, so I can reach the fruit on the top with just a reach."
How about we have a competition to see who can pick the highest fruit?
"Let's compete! I'll definitely pick the highest fruit!" Da Bao's competitive spirit was ignited.
Zhao Guangming stood up, took two steps forward, and came to Jiang He.
"Comrade Jiang, please move to the side so you don't get scratched by the branches."
Jiang He led Erbao and Sanbao to stand to the side.
Zhao Guangming reached out, pulled down the branch, and picked the fruit on it.
"How is it? Is the fruit I picked tall enough?"
Zhao Guangming tossed a piece of fruit in his hand and looked at Da Bao with a smile.
"Comrade Jiang, here, have this fruit."
Zhao Guangming brought the fruit to Jiang He.
Jiang He took the fruit from Zhao Guangming's hand, looked at it, and then threw it back.
Zhao Guangming caught the fruit.
"This fruit isn't ripe, it doesn't look sweet, I don't want to eat it."
Zhao Guangming gave an awkward laugh.
"So this wasn't fully ripe."
"Watch me, I'm sure I can pick fruit that's even taller than you."
Da Bao rolled up his sleeves and was about to climb the tree.
"Da Bao, wait a minute."
Jiang He called out to Da Bao.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
"Dabao, use this." Jiang He picked up a bamboo stick from the ground, with a hook and a net tied to it.
They brought these specifically to pick wild fruits from high places.
"Pick the topmost wild fruit, that's the highest one."
Da Bao looked at the wild fruit at the very top. He couldn't climb that high; the branches were too thin for him.
Anyway, their competition is about who can pick the highest fruit, not climbing a tree.
He wins as long as he picks the fruit.
Da Bao took the bamboo stick, used the net to cover the top fruit, and pulled the stem with the hook, causing the fruit to fall into the net bag.
"I picked the top fruit!" Da Bao excitedly took out the fruit.
"How was it? I won, didn't I?"
"Why don't you climb the tree? Didn't you say you were really good at climbing trees? And you even used tools? What kind of skill is that? You won unfairly."
Zhao Guangming gave Da Bao a disdainful look.
Jiang He picked at her ear.
It's definitely more comfortable to hear the truth.
You're ruthless with your words, and I'll be ruthless with my actions too.
"What? Is Zhao Zhiqing trying to cheat? Isn't your competition with Da Bao just about who picked the highest fruit?"
Da Bao picked the highest fruit on the tree, so naturally Da Bao won.
You also said that Da Bao's use of tools to win was dishonorable? What? You think it's justified for an adult to bully a child?
I think Zhao Zhiqing is a sore loser.
Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, remember this: never do this again, or you will be ridiculed.
A loss is a loss, a win is a win. If you can't handle losing, don't play. Otherwise, you'll only embarrass yourself.
"Auntie, we've got it!" Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao replied in unison.
"This uncle can't accept defeat, Auntie, let's not play with him anymore."
Da Bao gave Zhao Guangming a disdainful look, rolling his eyes back at him.
"You brat, who wants to play with you? Picking wild fruit? I bet you guys are all starving, yet you talk about eating meat every meal."
"If you make such boastful claims, aren't you afraid of your tongue slipping out?"
Upon hearing Zhao Guangming's words, Jiang He knew why Zhao Guangming had come looking for her.
I don't know where they heard that their family ate meat every meal, and they got hungry, so they approached her, or maybe it was Da Bao and the others.
I wanted to swindle something from them.
very good.
They've set their sights on them again.
"Zhao Zhiqing, what does it matter to you whether our family eats meat or wild fruit?"
Instead of wasting time on this, Zhao Zhiqing should worry about how to earn more work points. I heard that Zhao Zhiqing only earned five work points a day and had to rest every few days.
Zhao, the educated youth, is not even as good as the half-grown boys in our brigade.
I don't know if these work points are enough for Zhao Zhiqing to have a full stomach.
Oh, I remember Zhao Zhiqing had a younger sister. The two of them together didn't even earn ten work points a day. I wonder if that was enough for them to eat?
If there wasn't enough to eat, Zhao Zhiqing could also go up the mountain to pick some wild fruits or something.
Anyone can pick the wild fruits on this mountain. If Zhao Zhiqing needs them, we can save some for him later.
Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, we'll pick the red ones later and leave some for Zhao Zhiqing.
I noticed that Zhao, the educated youth, liked to eat things that weren't fully cooked.
"Auntie, we understand."
