Chapter 88 Gathering Firewood

When Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing came to school again, they felt like they were in another world. They had been addicted to chestnuts and walnuts for the past few days, and now they suddenly faced many children, and they felt so noisy for a while.

After cheering up and adjusting herself, Wen Xin went to class.

The children also played wildly at home for several days, and they couldn't sit still during class.

The class started for more than ten minutes, but Wen Xin found that some students were still chatting and distracted.

"Ahem, we have exams in more than a week. If the exam results are not good, we will invite parents and communicate with them. Likewise, if you don't pay attention to the class now, I will let you stand outside."

For children in the village, inviting parents is a severe punishment. Because their parents all feel that they have already sent you to school and you must learn something, otherwise they will serve you with sticks and sticks.

After that, the atmosphere in the class improved a lot, and Wen Xin felt relieved.

After class, Wen Xin, Zhao Wanqing and Li Qian planned to go to the mountains to find firewood.

As soon as they arrived on the mountain, they met Lin Dongze, Lin Bei, and the new male educated youth Huo Xunye.

They each said hello and went about their work without saying anything else.

Instead, Lin Dongze walked up to Zhao Wanqing and said, "Are you here to get firewood too? Don't get too much at one time, otherwise it will be difficult to take it back."

Zhao Wanqing was busy with her hands without raising her head, "I know, don't worry. Go and do your work, don't stay with me."

Once Zhao Wanqing focuses on one thing, no one will pay attention to it.

Lin Dongze touched his nose and walked away silently.

Huo Xunye, on the other hand, glanced at Lin Dongze with a teasing look in his eyes.

Wen Xin was also working hard, picking up and picking up, and her hand touched another hand.

When he looked up, he bumped into Huo Xunye.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it." Wen Xin retracted her hand in embarrassment, but still looked at the beautifully shaped branch with some reluctance.

Huo Xunye looked at the girl in front of him, glanced at him, and then kept staring at the branches on the ground. His tone was full of regret, which was really ridiculous.

Am I not as attractive as this branch? Huo Xunye doubted himself.

"It's okay, I didn't pay attention either. You can take this." Huo Xunye said calmly.

Hearing this, Wen Xin's eyes widened, her tone was pleasant and surprised, her hand movements were unambiguous, and she took it away.

Huo Xunye met the other party's round eyes, bright smile, and felt a little distracted. He thought her smile was really pretty.

But Wen Xin, who got the branch, happily changed direction and continued her great work of collecting firewood.

Seeing the other party just leaving, Huo Xunye shook his head with a smile and continued working.

Lin Dongze swished over and said, "How about it, this little girl didn't pay attention to you at all? Your face is useless, hahahahahahaha."

Huo Xunye glanced at him, his eyes cold, but his hands quickly wrapped around his neck, tightening his strength in his direction, and said in a low voice, "You dare to laugh at me now?"

Feeling the danger, Lin Dongze immediately gave in and begged for mercy, "Brother, brother, I was wrong, I was just joking."

Huo Xunye let go of his hand and said in a relaxed and teasing tone, "You're not in a good state. You haven't trained for too long, and you don't have the ability to react anymore."

Lin Dongze was three steps away from him and said in a cold tone, "Tch, I'm just unprepared."

Wen Xin, who retreated to another direction, accidentally saw the two fighting and gained a new understanding of their relationship.

They must have known each other for a long time. It seems that Huo Xunye's military rank in the army should be higher than Lin Dongze's. So why would someone like this in the army go to the countryside?

If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. It has nothing to do with you anyway. Wen Xin put this matter behind her and continued to happily pick up branches.

After almost picking it up, Wen Xin called Zhao Wanqing and Li Qian to leave.

By coincidence, Lin Dongze and the others were also leaving.

Each of them took exactly the weight they could carry.

But Wen Xin carried an extra thick branch.

When Wen Xin saw it, she thought it was a very suitable piece of wood for burning a fire, but it was a bit heavy to hold.

Wen Xin carried it and dragged it all the way down.

Next to him, Huo Xunye looked at the little girl carrying a lot of things in her hands. Although it was difficult to walk, she did not complain or ask for help. Her face was full of stubbornness.

Like a hard-working kitten. Huo Xunye thought to himself.

In the end, Zhao Wanqing and Wen Xin carried it together, which made it much better.

When we arrived at the backyard of the educated youth, Wen Xin threw down the firewood and sat down on the ground.

It's so tiring.

While I was panting for a rest, a White Rabbit toffee was suddenly handed to me.

He looked up and saw that it was Huo Xunye holding a candy in his hand and saying in a stiff tone, "This is for you."

Wen Xin was a little surprised, "For me?"

Huo Xunye stuffed the candy into Wen Xin's hand, turned around and said, "I just thought you might need it."

After saying that, without waiting for Wen Xin's reaction, he immediately rushed into the room, as if someone was chasing him from behind.

Looking at the candy in her hand, Wen Xin was a little confused and at a loss.

After thinking about it, I ate it.

At worst, I'll pay him back next time, she has money.

Zhao Wanqing came out of the room and saw Wen Xin still sitting on the ground. He came over and pulled her up, "Xinxin, why are you still sitting on the ground? What are you eating?"

Wen Xin chewed in her mouth and said vaguely, "Sugar."

Zhao Wanqing was a little strange, "Why are you eating candy now? Okay, don't sit here, let's cook and eat."

Wen Xin nodded and followed him into the house.

Huo Xunye in the room heard the conversation and chuckled. It feels more like a kitten.

After dinner, Zhao Wanqing discussed with Wen Xin, "Xinxin, I'm going to the town the day after tomorrow to make the quilt."

Wen Xin nodded, "Okay, be careful, don't get tricked."

Zhao Wanqing agreed, thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to ask Yingying, Sister Yumei, and Sister Qian if they want cotton?"

Wen Xin took a sip of water and whispered, "You can ask, but you can't say it's your own. Just say that you know someone in the town who has cotton in his hand and asked them if they want to buy it."

Zhao Wanqing nodded solemnly and turned to go to another room.

Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei were very happy to hear the news. Because they don't have cotton coupons, the winter here is long and cold, and the ones they brought before are obviously not enough to keep out the cold. It's great to be able to buy them now.

However, Zhao Wanqing asked the two of them to keep it secret and not to tell anyone else.

They both also knew the seriousness of the matter and promised to keep it secret.

Go back satisfied, Li Qian plans to ask again at school tomorrow.

Seeing her return happily, Wen Xin could guess, "Wanqing, just help me get enough for two cotton-padded coats and cotton trousers."
