70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 213 Xiaoyu Lost
Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting dappled shadows. Chen Qing nestled in He Yuan's neck, adjusting her breathing, four words swirling in her mind: "The one who provokes first is despicable!"

Why did I have to provoke him? Now I'm so nervous, my heart is racing and my legs are weak.

He Yuan gently patted her back to help her catch her breath, his movements mechanical. He felt all the blood rushing to his head, making it impossible for him to think clearly about what to do.

The wind rustled through the treetops, and the two of them stood frozen in place like overcooked shrimp. After a long silence, He Yuan finally asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Chen Qing: "I'm fine!"

She replied with absolute certainty, leaving He Yuan's embrace as if nothing had happened.

He Yuan felt his arms suddenly empty and secretly regretted saying the wrong thing. Seeing her walking inside aggressively, he quickly followed.

He was too nervous to remember the kiss clearly, but he did remember that before the kiss, she looked up at him, the sunlight was warm, and she was smiling, her whole being radiant.

Much later, when He Yuan recalled this scene, he was still madly moved.

He came to Chen Qing's side, his little finger quietly approaching to test her fingertips, then their fingers intertwined and held tightly.

Chen Qing glanced down at their tightly clenched hands, then focused her attention back on their surroundings, reminding He Yuan, "Take a good look to see if there's any prey, otherwise we won't even have enough chickens to share."

"I'll try my best," He Yuan replied, then paused and couldn't help but say, "You have a strong sense of purpose."

Even though the two held hands and kissed along the way, what she ultimately cared about was still her prey!

Chen Qing: "Because I'm poor and greedy."

He Yuan chuckled softly.

Chen Qing glared at him, her eyes filled with intense jealousy: "Once I pick up my side hustle again, my salary will be higher than yours."

"Then I will try my best to stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

"Ok?"

"I'll try to get a promotion before the end of the year so my salary can increase significantly."

"Oh my god." Chen Qing was so jealous, she bumped her head against his arm. "I'm about to go to the workshop, do you know how pitiful I am?"

He Yuan sighed, "How pitiful."

Chen Qing looked at him in shock, and when she saw him laughing again, she was furious: "He Yuan!!! You're mocking me."

Seeing her puffed-up cheeks, He Yuan gently pinched her cheek, and her eyes widened suddenly, making her even cuter.

Chen Qing was furious: "Do you know that you're getting more and more unreasonable?"

He Yuan: "It's all because you spoiled him."

Chen Qing stared in disbelief: "You really are...you really are..."

Good heavens, she was so angry she was speechless.

He Yuan looked at her for a moment, then reached out and hugged her: "I'm so happy."

Chen Qing: "I'm not happy."

She's a lemon.

She was insanely jealous of He Yuan's career success.

"Let's go hunting then." He Yuan took her hand again and shook it gently, clearly in high spirits.

Chen Qing saw a smile spreading across his face and forgave his smugness.

The two stayed on the mountain for a long time, and it was almost one o'clock before they came down. Their baskets contained a pheasant, three rabbits, and thirteen wild eggs.

Harvest!
He Yuxiang was stunned when he saw his prey: "Why don't you guys change careers?"

Mao Jianguo exclaimed in surprise, "Even a proper hunter couldn't hunt that many, could he?"

If hunting were so easy in the mountains, everyone would be flocking there.

Chen Qing was flattered by the praise and rested his chin on his hand, contemplating the possibility of changing careers.

Mu Jianguo was also there and said seriously, "You guys are lucky. The mountains were swept clean by wild animals a while ago, but there are a lot of wild boars in the mountains. It's easy to get hit and killed. Don't always go deep into the mountains."

Chen Qing nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, we will abide by the law and be good citizens."

Everyone turned to look at the overflowing basket. She did something wrong, yet claims to be a good person—how dare she!

Since the wild game couldn't be processed in the mountains, Mu Jianguo invited them to the familiar riverside to grill it: "It's quiet there, and we can also grill your wild game there."

Chen Qing: "Okay, okay."

With Mu Jianguo present, we weren't afraid even if the Revolutionary Committee came.

The group followed Mu Jianguo, and Chen Qing quietly slipped up to Tian Mengya's side: "Do you like him?"

She thought it was quite a coincidence.

Her best friend Talia's boyfriend is Mao Jianguo, and another best friend, Tian Mengya, seems to like someone named Mu Jianguo.

Both were about founding a nation.

A talented writer.

One who is skilled in martial arts.

It feels quite interesting.

Tian Mengya pursed her lips: "He proposed to me before, but my dad rejected him because he thought his status was too low. Although we didn't break up, we haven't been in contact since. I've always thought about him. I had a good chat with him today, and I think I like him quite a bit. But his family situation is complicated, and I'd rather find a son-in-law who lives with me now. I don't want to compromise myself for him."

Chen Qing exclaimed, "Comrade Tian Mengya, you have truly grown!"

Tian Mengya blushed slightly.

My anxiety after a morning has subsided, and I feel more at ease now.

After a moment's thought, Chen Qing said, "If you like him, you can ask him if he'd be willing to be a live-in son-in-law."

"He didn't want to."

"why?"

“His father is counting on him to make something of himself.” Tian Mengya sighed slightly. “Because his father is the village chief, he has seen a bit of the world and has high expectations for him. If he dares to give up his family for love, his father will definitely scold me to death.”

"Never mind then, his family is a bit scary."

"Yes."

Tian Mengya was a little sad.

Chen Qing patted her shoulder: "It's okay. I'll have two chicken legs after I roast the pheasant I hunted. One for Xiaoyu and one for you."

Tian Meng cheered up.

She was treated better than Talia!
The group set up a barbecue by the river, with He Yuan and Mu Jianguo as the head chefs and He Yuxiang as the assistant chef.

Seeing that He Yuxiang was constantly busy, Chen Qing held Xiao Yu in her arms and asked softly, "How did the competition go?"

Xiaoyu nestled in her arms, sullen and then tears fell: "I only got sixth place, my grades are too bad, it must be because I didn't attend the full labor class."

Chen Qing was surprised and made her stand on the ground. He squatted down and gently wiped away her tears. "Our Xiaoyu is so ambitious. She's amazing."

"But I lost. I wanted to win first place, and then my brother lost too." Xiaoyu felt ashamed to cry after losing, so she lowered her head and said sullenly, "We both lost. I even said I wanted to win at first."

“It’s normal to want to win. I’ll talk to your teacher tomorrow and ask you to attend a full labor class. Let’s do some labor first, okay?” Chen Qing asked.

Xiaoyu nodded heavily.

Chen Qing said again, "I'll bring you here to play often after this, and you can compete with them again. Let's try to get fifth place first, and then improve little by little, okay?"

"it is good!"

Xiao Yu clenched her fists tightly, her round eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit. "The fare is too expensive. I want to get first place in labor class first, and then compete with them."

Chen Qing supported this idea, saying, "This is a good method. Otherwise, if we keep coming here, your brother will complain that we're wasting money."

Xiao Yu burst out laughing.

The warm sunlight shone on her face, and the fine downy hairs were clearly visible in the halo of light, making her small face look even more like a ripe peach.

Even though tears were still clinging to her eyelashes, her eyes curved into little crescents as she happily skipped and jumped around.
