Quick Transmigration: What's Wrong with the Yandere Male Lead? It's So Good!
Chapter 60: The "Little Landlord" and His Wife Go to the City
Relatively speaking, the village's location is indeed excellent, not far from the county seat, because Jiang Rangrang arrived there when he felt he could no longer walk.
She has never been a big fan of sports, and her physical strength is only average.
How to describe this village? Every household is a thatched house, and if it weren't for the telephone poles and wires, it wouldn't be too different from ancient times.
There's only the village entrance, which should be the village office, with a row of brick houses.
But it's good that we got there; she couldn't walk any further because it was too hot.
At the entrance of the village stand two sturdy old locust trees, with thick trunks, lush branches and leaves, and dense canopies that provide a large area of shade.
There were several large stones under the tree, suggesting that villagers would often come here to rest and chat.
The village road was narrow, a dirt road, with deep and shallow ruts left by tire wheels.
However, the road surface was dried and hardened by the scorching sun, and stepping on it would kick up a fine dust.
The village was quiet; I guess everyone was either taking a nap or eating lunch at home, or working in the fields?
The oxcart traveled through the main street and finally stopped in front of a few large thatched houses behind the village office.
This is a designated settlement for educated youth sent to the countryside, which the brigade specifically set aside.
The courtyard wasn't small, enclosed by an earthen wall. It was kept quite tidy, with neatly stacked firewood in the corner and several strings of dried wild vegetables hanging under the eaves.
Jiang Rangrang kept observing as if it were something new, because she had never lived in the countryside, so everything she saw seemed novel.
Zhao Weiguo tightened the reins, patted the cow's back, and the old cow flicked its tail and slowly stopped.
He turned around, his face still bearing that stern, unsmiling expression:
"We've arrived. This is the educated youth settlement. Please move your luggage into the courtyard and wait for a while. I'll go find someone to open the door for you."
The five people responded and took down their luggage. Jiang Rangrang, carrying his two canvas bags, also entered the courtyard.
Suddenly, a dry, gust of wind swept across the earthen wall, carrying a faint scent of grass and wood, and the earthy smell, which covered the faces of the group.
The group of people, already sweating profusely and covered in dust, kept spitting out dust, scraping it into their mouths.
Jiang Rangrang was speechless. She walked to a corner and pretended to reach into her bag, but actually smuggled a pack of wet wipes from her spatial storage. She pulled out a few wipes and used them to wipe her face, neck, and hands.
Wipe it clean and put it back in the storage space.
[888, do you know how I feel right now?]
888 didn't know, and asked curiously, "How does it feel?"
[A stark contrast! My chest and butt feel wonderfully refreshed. The rest of my body feels sticky, making me want to jump into the river to cool off.]
Jiang Rangrang had a blank expression. Should she be thankful that at least her vital parts were clean?
[Host! I'll lend you my points! I'll buy you a robe!]
888 felt a pang of pain in its heart after saying that; it actually wanted to buy a new skin too.
Its initial appearance was too easy to bully, and recently a chubby tabby cat has been harassing it! It's so annoying! It wants to buy a crocodile skin to wear!
Jiang Rangrang asked, touched, "How many points do you have?"
【5050!】888 proud! It earned four thousand points after binding with its host, but didn't spend a single one!
Jiang Rangrang: […Little 8, your host only has 1900, do you think that's enough?]
"...That's not enough. Even after completing this mission, it's still not enough. You can leave this mission in your twenties; it only gives you 2000 points."
After saying "888," Jiang Rangrang felt even hotter and wanted to explode.
Jiang Rangrang remained in the shade by the east wall, lost in thought, while the others also found their own places to avoid the sun.
The three male educated youths were the first to break the silence. Having just arrived in an unfamiliar place, the young people wanted to get to know each other, since they would be living together for a long time.
One of the boys, with a smile in his eyes, took the initiative to speak: "We'll all be living together from now on, so let's introduce ourselves. My name is Zhou Mingyu, and I'm from H province."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two male educated youths, Chen Feng and Wang Hao, also introduced their hometowns and names, their tone polite and gentle as newcomers.
When it was Li Juan's and Jiang Rangrang's turn, Li Juan saw that Jiang Rangrang didn't speak, so she whispered, "My name is Li Juan, and I'm from L City."
Jiang Rangrang spoke after being prompted by the system: "Jiang Rangrang is from City S."
Then he shut up, looked up at the sky, and clearly had no desire to continue the conversation.
In cooking, too much salt will inevitably lead to mistakes; in life, too much talk will inevitably lead to mistakes.
She wasn't a particularly clever person; the only way she could avoid trouble was to keep her mouth shut and speak less, so that she wouldn't be easily seen through.
Seeing that Jiang Rangrang had spoken politely but clearly did not intend to continue the conversation, Zhou Mingyu was not in a hurry.
It's a good thing that female comrades are wary when they first arrive in a new place.
He smiled and continued chatting with the other people.
Jiang Rangrang would either look up at the sky or stare down at the cracked mud beneath her feet, and occasionally she would lower her head and play with her fingers.
She resolutely avoided eye contact with anyone from beginning to end! She refused to participate unless her name was called.
The other educated youths were all normal people. Seeing her like this, they knew she was probably introverted and shy, so they didn't force her to participate in the conversation.
The group stood in the courtyard, chatting idly, waiting for someone to come back and open the door.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the dried wild vegetables under the eaves rustled.
Before long, light footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.
The visitor was a former educated youth, and also the head of this educated youth settlement, named Lin Wanqiu.
She looked to be in her mid-twenties and was dressed in a very conservative long-sleeved shirt and trousers.
Her hair was simply tied into a neat braid that hung down her back. Her eyebrows and eyes were gentle and calm, and her whole body exuded the competence honed by years of hard work.
As Lin Wanqiu stepped into the courtyard, she subconsciously glanced at the few new educated youths in the courtyard. When her gaze fell on Jiang Rangrang's face, her steps paused almost imperceptibly for a moment.
Beautifully striking.
She was from the capital and had seen many beautiful girls since she was a child, including herself, but she was still momentarily stunned by Jiang Rangrang's appearance.
With fair skin, bright eyes, and a simple, clean outfit, she stood in the rustic farmhouse courtyard...
She was like a delicate peony grown in a greenhouse, completely out of place with her surroundings.
However, Lin Wanqiu's surprise was only momentary. Her face was full of gentle smiles as she quickly stepped forward:
"Sorry to keep you waiting. You must have had a long journey. Please come in."
As she spoke, she took out her keys and deftly opened the door.
"The men will stay in that room, and the women will stay in this room. It's been cleaned up and space has been made for you."
The group followed her into the house, where they found a spacious outer room with a layout typical of rural northern China.
On the left and right sides of the outer room, there is a stove with a large iron pot on it. The flue connects to the earthen bed in the inner room. It is the most common layout in the village that combines heating and cooking.
Jiang Rangrang carefully observed everything in the room. It was all very novel, but she couldn't stand it.
