Chapter 321 You just want to do bad things?

On a freezing cold day, the two swam around the river twice.

In previous years, it would have already started snowing by this time, but this year the snow came a few days late.

Back home, Zhou Guizhi was furious. She grabbed her two sons and gave them a good beating. "You two dared to scare your old mother! What happened? Tell me, what were you doing last night?"

Jiang Xingjun and his companion had now fully experienced the power of the pill. They felt comfortable all over, with a surge of power accumulating beneath their skin, and they couldn't wait to find someone to have a good fight.

"Mom, stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything." Jiang Xingjun showed none of the dejection he had felt yesterday after being cheated on. On the contrary, he was full of vigor and high spirits.

After breakfast, Zhou Guizhi went to wash the bedding for the two brothers. She pinched her nose and disdainfully pulled out the sheets and blankets with two fingers. Jiang Xingmei ran far away, saying, "Mom, I'm going to work!"

After saying that, she ran off, afraid that her mother would drag her back to do the laundry.

The smell was so strong that everyone in the house and surrounding areas ran away in an instant.

Even the old man and woman who usually liked to bask in the sun at the door were eating breakfast in their room today, without even showing their faces. The quieter it was, the more unbalanced Zhou Guizhi felt. She soaked the sheets and blankets in water and went to bring her two sons back.

"Washing them yourself is filthy. When you go to the army, you'll have to wash your own clothes too. Learn from this first!"

Xu Qinghuan's house has almost become a garment factory. The brigade doesn't have any vacant houses for the time being, but fortunately there are few people, so they can only make do for now. Qiao Xinyu has moved into Yu Xiaomin's room, which is now empty. Several sewing machines have been set up in her room, and it's been bustling with activity all day.

"I don't know what went wrong with my third and fourth brothers yesterday. This morning, their beds and bodies were covered in mud. They stank so badly that the whole house smelled terrible," Jiang Xingmei complained to her friends about her brothers.

Xu Qinghuan came out of the room. Yu Xiaomin heard the noise and tilted her head towards the door. "Huanhuan, breakfast is warming in the pot. Ye-ge hasn't come to eat yet."

"okay!"

Xu Qinghuan finished washing up, lifted the pot lid to take a look, then put it back on and went to find Jiang Xingye.

Luo Jinhao arrived at his place early in the morning. The vegetables in Jiangxing's wild vegetable garden were completely unavailable. The greenhouse had already been set up. Because this was the first trial this year, the investment was not much, and only a little over one acre of vegetables was planted.

It's not the coldest time yet, and the vegetables are growing quite well.

In Jiang Xingye's front and back gardens, he built greenhouses and planted vegetables. Because Xu Qinghuan had sown the soil there, the vegetables grew much better than those of the production team.

“That piece of land in the mountains, I and a few friends have turned it over several times last time. When are we going to plant it? It’s been empty for almost two months. Isn’t it a waste to leave it empty?”

"We'll plant them right away. Aren't we busy? Planting is quick."

Haozi offered to help with the planting, and in the past, Jiang Xingye would have agreed and given them a small share of the labor fee. But now, Jiang Xingye refuses to plant the plants himself and absolutely refuses to let them do it.

The two talked about other things for a while, and Jiang Xingye asked, "What about the person I asked you to find? Has there been any news about them?"

"I've got it! That educated youth Jiang actually took the bait, selling her for only twenty yuan. But, brother, why don't we just let him actually sell that woman? If he really sells her to those mountains, I guarantee she'll never get out and will live a life worse than death."

"It's good that you've taken the bait. Human trafficking is illegal. Alright, you can go about your business now." Jiang Xingye's face, which had been somewhat cold, instantly lit up with joy when he saw his fiancée approaching.

Luo Jinhao clicked his tongue.

When Xu Qinghuan came over, Luo Jinhao greeted her, called her "sister-in-law," and then got up to go to the greenhouse to pick vegetables.

The cabbage seeds were sown, and the temperature inside was well controlled. It was definitely a bit lower than in summer, but the germination rate and growth rate didn't seem to be much slower. The cabbage seedlings, about the length of a chopstick, looked fresh and vibrant.

Several middle-aged women from the village came to observe Jiang Xingye's vegetable garden and followed Luo Jinhao inside.

The flue of the kang (a heated brick bed) was located underground in the vegetable garden. It ran from the underground passage along the entire surface of the garden and then exited through an opening outside the garden. There were earthen walls on both sides, and the roof was covered with thick felt and plastic film. The shed was quite warm inside, and you had to take off your clothes to enter.

"It's so warm in here. If we could build a heated shed like this at home, wouldn't it be warmer than the kang (heated brick bed)?"

"That's a lot of money, isn't it?"

The ground was covered with lush green vegetables, and Hu E looked at them with envy, asking Luo Jinhao, "Young man, who are you going to sell these vegetables to? How much per pound?"

Luo Jinhao said, "Normally it's five cents a pound, but now in this season, these kinds of greens cost forty or fifty cents a pound."

"My goodness, five cents, five cents?" Hu E held up one hand. "Selling it for such a high price?"

"That's right. Don't you even know what season it is? Do you even sell this kind of vegetable? If it weren't for Brother Ye, we wouldn't even be able to see it. Does this vegetable shed cost nothing? If you want to grow it, try building your own shed at home."

"How could we possibly know that?" Hu E said, but how could she not be tempted?

The other aunties were also tempted and ran out to find Jiang Xingye.

Xu Qinghuan said, "If you want to try, find a wooden box or something, fill it with soil from the vegetable garden, put it on the kang (heated brick bed), and scatter some vegetable seeds inside. Even if you don't grow anything else, you can at least grow a few scallions. At least you'll gain some experience."

“Oh my, that makes sense. I never thought of that. Scholars really do have sharp minds. Thank you, Xu Zhiqing. I’ll bring you a bunch when I grow some scallions,” Xie Zaohua said.

Xu Qinghuan smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

She could plant whatever she wanted in her online space, but she was too lazy to bother.

I'm starting to feel a bit emotional right now. It's such a waste to have so much fertile land and not plant anything in it.

Luo Jinhao picked two large baskets of cabbage seedlings and left. Now he can harvest some cabbage seedlings to sell. However, judging from the growth of Jiang Xingye's vegetable garden, green peppers and eggplants will soon be available on the market as well.

He had planted both the front and back gardens. The cabbages he had planted before were all harvested recently. He kept some in the cellar, and Zhou Guizhi used the rest to make sauerkraut for him.

The Chinese cabbages in Xu Qinghuan's garden were pickled by Yu Xiaomin and Jiang Xingmei. She and Qiao Xinyu assisted, and later Jiang Xingye and Dai Yifeng helped. The group worked for a whole day and filled three large vats, enough for them to eat until the beginning of next year.

"Shall we go to the mountains together tomorrow?" Jiang Xingye pulled her into the room and kissed her against the wall for a while.

Both of them have been very busy these past few days, and they only meet at the dinner table. Qiao Xinyu and her colleagues are working late into the night in their room, and with so many people around, it's not appropriate for Jiang Xingye to stay there.

With Xu Qinghuan draped over his arm, she leaned on his shoulder and bit him hard. Jiang Xingye shuddered and let out a low groan.

"Going to the mountains tomorrow?" he asked again, and before Xu Qinghuan could answer, he added, "To help me?"

Xu Qinghuan felt weak all over and spoke in a breathy voice, "You just want to do bad things!"

The word "bad thing" made Jiang Xingye laugh. "Well, it's not that I want to do bad things, it's that I want to do..."

He whispered something in her ear, and Xu Qinghuan angrily punched him, her face turning red. "You...when did you become like this?"

She always thought he was an innocent, puppy-like man, but once a man is tainted by desire, it's only a matter of minutes before he turns bad.

"You don't like hearing this?" Jiang Xingye was indeed afraid of upsetting her. "Then I won't say it next time."

Xu Qinghuan remained noncommittal. He knew his fiancée didn't seem to mind. He buried his face in her chest, feeling a slight sting on his skin. Xu Qinghuan involuntarily tightened her arms, a shameful sound escaping her lips.
