    Chapter 24

    Jiang Zhen noticed that Jiang Yao was wrong, and it started when she sent a telegram to let him send seeds.

    His sister, he knows best. Although he has a good heart, he has been spoiled by his parents and guarded by his elder brother since he was a child. In addition to being self-willed, he is also a little lazy. No, he should be very lazy.

    She refused the job that his old leader had arranged for her, and it was surprising enough that she went to the countryside, and now she even volunteered to send seeds to grow vegetables, which doesn't look like what she did.

    However, an environment can change a person, and maybe jumping in line can really make her change.

    Until he received a letter from her a few days ago, saying that he would not need to send her money in the future, and when she was able to support herself, he could no longer sit still.

    No matter how much people can be trained in the countryside, it is impossible to completely change a person's nature in just a few months.

    At that time, he felt that something must have happened to Jiang Yao in the countryside, and he must have a look at it to be relieved.

    Just at that time, he completed a major task. The camp granted him a few days of vacation. He took the opportunity to ask for family leave and rushed to the Qingyuan production team.

    "Brother... how did you... know?" Jiang Yao met Jiang Zhen's incomparably sure eyes, and didn't even quibble.

    Jiang Zhen chuckled and said, "You two are frowning under my eyelids. If I still can't see it, I should be laid off as a scout."

    Seeing that he didn't look angry, Jiang Yao climbed up the pole, put her arms around his shoulders, and blew rainbow farts while acting coquettishly: "Brother, you are so powerful, you can't hide anything from your eyes."

    "Okay, I refuse these sugar-coated cannonballs." Jiang Zhen said, his face restrained, and said: "I looked at the Lu family's house, their family background should be not good, but I think life is going well, I believe Lu Che is a responsible person."

    "That's right, you're right when you see the person." Hearing her elder brother praising her object, Jiang Yao was overjoyed, and immediately said good things to Lu Che: "He is really a very hard worker, and he never goes to work. Don't be lazy, even if you have a bad background, but use your strength to make yourself a ten centimeter a day. He is very active in sideline business and going to the market."

    "Also, he is also kind to me. He fetches water and firewood for me every day, and he doesn't let me do heavy work. Although I have moved from the city to the countryside, I am now more comfortable than before."

    At the end of the day, the smile on her face was so happy that she couldn't suppress it.

    Jiang Zhen looked at his sister and knew that she was completely trapped.

    This Lu Che, he can't say that he is particularly satisfied, but he can't make mistakes, and he feels uncomfortable, probably because his sister, who has been in his hand for many years, was "robbed" by someone.

    "Yaoyao, although that's the case, you are now just a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. If you stay at his house, you can't miss gossip." Jiang Zhen said.

    As she expected, Jiang Zhen was still taboo about this.

    Jiang Yao said: "Brother, I know you are worried about me, but now the educated youth in the production team is a dangerous house, and it is impossible for me to move back to live there. There are also men who rent from other farmers' houses. Besides, you also know that I am beautiful. , No matter which peasant family I live in, the women in that family are guarding me like a wolf, do you think I can still have a good life?"

    "I see." Jiang Zhen said after a long while, "Go and call Lu Che to my room. Go."

    After speaking, he stepped out of her room without giving Jiang Yao a chance to ask questions.

    "..."

    Jiang Yao didn't know what Jiang Zhen wanted to do with Lu Che. Originally, it seemed that his attitude towards his relationship with Lu Che was very peaceful. She felt complacent for a moment, but the reaction was too quiet, which made her feel uneasy.

    "If my brother beats you later, don't stand stupidly, remember to run." Jiang Yao urged while pulling Lu Che to Jiang Zhen's room.

    The eldest brother talked to himself alone. Although Lu Che was a little nervous, he believed in Jiang Zhen and comforted Jiang Yao: "It's okay, your brother is a soldier, not a rogue, he won't beat people."

    "It's too simple for you to think. My brother is now not as a soldier as a family member of your military and civilians, but as a brother to negotiate with a bad guy who hooked up his sister."

    Hearing Jiang Yao's words, Lu Che was a little dumbfounded, "Are you trying to appease me, or are you trying to scare me?"

    "...Sorry, I'm too nervous." Jiang Yao patted his chest and whispered: "It's okay, I'm outside, I'll rush in as soon as I have something."

    While talking, they had already come to Jiang Zhen's room.

    The door was open, Jiang Yao pulled Jiang Zhen in, and said with a haha, "Brother, Lu Che is here, feel free to say anything, if he doesn't listen, I will criticize him."

    Jiang Zhen glanced at Jiang Yao, shook his hand, and said, "It's getting late, you go to bed quickly, and remember to close the door when you go out."

    "...It's still very early, I'm not sleepy." Jiang Yao was struggling, but Jiang Zhen didn't give her a chance at all. With a sharp look, she obediently exited the stage and closed the door.

    "Brother, just tell me what you have." Lu Che sat upright.

    Jiang Zhen saw that he didn't have any stage fright at all, and he appreciated him two more points in his heart.

    He shouted to the door: "The secret personnel who are eavesdropping outside, hurry back to your room to be locked up, or else you will be dealt with by military law."

    Jiang Yao, who was eavesdropping on the door panel, pursed her lips unconvinced, and went back to her room in despair.

    When the footsteps were gone, Jiang Zhen walked towards Lu Che, and then unexpectedly threw a fist.

    Lu Che's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he ducked to the side, and his fist brushed past his face.

    Seeing his reaction speed, Jiang Zhen raised a satisfied corner of his lips and said, "This skill is not bad, there should be no problem in protecting my Yaoyao."

    "Thank you brother, I promise to protect Yaoyao for a lifetime." Lu Che immediately expressed his loyalty.

    "Stop, don't call me brother, I'm not your brother yet." Jiang Zhen interrupted without hesitation, "I'm about the same age as you, you can just call my name."

    "Okay, brother."

    "..."

    "Sit down." Jiang Zhen said and took the seat first, and Lu Che sat down immediately.

    "How long have you been with Yaoyao?" Jiang Zhen asked.

    Lu Che replied without hesitation: "Sixty-three days."

    "..." Jiang Zhen was a little surprised that he was accurate to the sky, and asked, "Do you know that she liked Zhao Pengfei before?"

    "I know." Lu Che's answer was unusually quick.

    Jiang Zhen looked at him without missing any expression on his face, and asked again, "Do you mind?"

    "Don't mind, who hasn't ordered yet?"

    Seeing that he didn't care much, Jiang Zhen said, "It sounds like you're saying a lot... "in the past"?"

    "No." Lu Che blurted out: "Before I met Yaoyao, I didn't like other women."

    "Really not? Although you have a bad background, you should be very popular with girls because of your appearance here." Lu Che didn't plan to let him go on this issue.

    "Really not." Lu Che looked at Jiang Zhen and said frankly: "There were indeed girls who expressed their feelings to me before, but I didn't like it, so I have justly refused. Brother, if you don't believe me, I can swear ."

    Saying that, Lu Che was about to raise his three fingers in the middle, but Jiang Zhen stopped him in time, "Okay, I believe you, I just want to confirm with you, do you really care that Yaoyao likes Zhao Pengfei? Don't just get together now. , I can accept anything, and after a long time, I will take this matter out and turn the old accounts."

    "I really don't care." Lu Che's face was full of seriousness, "I don't care what Yaoyao did in the past, as long as she likes me now. Also, she changed from liking Zhao Pengfei to me, doesn't it prove that I am better than Zhao Pengfei? okay?"

    "It's good that you are so confident."

    Jiang Zhen patted Lu Che on the shoulder. Just when he thought the conversation was over, Jiang Zhen suddenly said, "Have you ever bullied Yaoyao?"

    What does "bullying" mean here, Lu Che understood after being stunned for three seconds, and he said, "No."

    "Really?" Jiang Zhen stared at Lu Che with a gleam of light.

    Lu Che shook his head firmly, "No."

    "It's fine." Jiang Zhen patted Lu Che's shoulder comfortingly again. When he was about to take a deep breath, Jiang Zhen asked again, "You are young and full of energy, so you never thought about it?"

    "...I thought about it." After half a second of hesitation, Lu Che answered honestly.

    "Be honest." Jiang Zhen said, "Before you get married, just think about it. If you really bully my Yaoyao, I will shoot you."

    "I'll take control of myself."

    "Okay, go back."

    After walking out of Jiang Zhen's room, Lu Che took a heavy breath. This eldest brother is really not easy to deal with, he has never been so nervous in his life.

    Knowing that Jiang Yao was worried about him, Lu Che went to her room before returning to his room.

    As soon as he entered, Jiang Yao pulled him, looked around and found no scars, so she let go of her dangling heart and asked, "What did my brother say to you?"

    Lu Che explained to her one by one, and of course cut off the last question.

    After Jiang Yao heard Lu Che's words, she was relieved, but the question of Zhao Pengfei seemed to have never been discussed between the two of them.

    She leaned in his arms, stretched out her fingers to draw circles on his chest, and asked, "You...really don't mind, did I like Zhao Pengfei before?"

    The original owner's pot, she had to carry it if she didn't. Before she was outside, it could be said that Zhao Pengfei was affectionate, but Lu Che was not stupid. As long as he had seen the original owner licking the dog against Zhao Pengfei before, he would definitely be able to see it.

    Lu Che looked down at her and asked without answering, "Do you like him or me now?"

    "Of course it's you!" Jiang Yao said without thinking.

    Lu Che listened, smiled, lowered his head and kissed her lips.

    Today, because Jiang Zhen was at home, the two didn't dare to get close at all. Now that they are hugging each other, how can there be a reason not to kiss?

    It's just that this relationship took too long, and the direct result was that Lu Che had a reaction.

    As soon as the front foot promised my uncle to control himself, the back foot was already out of control.

    Jiang Yao also clearly felt the change in his body. She was not conservative in her thinking, but Jiang Zhen's room was not far away. If something happened, she simply ignored him.

    Moreover, she was not bold enough to take the initiative to invite Lu Che.

    Just as she was struggling, Lu Che threw a sentence "you have to rest early" and ran away.

    Jiang Yao couldn't help laughing as she looked at his fleeing back.

    Lu Che, who had already taken a shower, flushed cold water in the bathroom for a long time before returning to his room.

    It is now August 15th, and there are still four and a half months before the Spring Festival. If Jiang Yao agrees to marry him at that time, all preparations will take a month.

    In other words, he must bear such a sweet burden, at least half a year.

    These days, it is simply more difficult than robbing.

    The next day, Jiang Yao and Lu Qing went to the paper factory to collect materials for handicraft as usual. Originally, Lu Che asked her to accompany Jiang Zhen at home, but Jiang Zhen said she could do whatever she needed to do, leaving him alone.

    Jiang Yao thought that he would stay in Qingyuan for five days, and the most lively county town nearby was less than one-tenth of the provincial capital. She had nowhere to take him, so she could move freely with him.

    After all, Jiang Zhen had been with the original owner for more than ten years, and she was afraid that she would be vulnerable if she stayed with him for a long time.

    After breakfast, Jiang Yao and Lu Qing set off.

    I don't know if it was her delusion or not, but she always felt that people looked at her differently today, like eyes full of gossip, mixed with a trace of contempt.

    After receiving the raw materials, on the way back, Lu Qing also said that he felt this way, but they didn't figure out the specific reason.

    "Yaoyao, Yaoyao..."

    Halfway through, Jiang Yao suddenly heard Zhu Xia shouting to herself from behind.

    She stopped, and when Zhu Xia caught up, she asked, "Is there anything wrong with running in such a hurry?"

    "Something's happened." Zhu Xia certainly didn't know what was going on when she saw her calm look.

    "What's the big deal?" Jiang Yao asked.

    Zhu Xia: "I don't know who spread the rumors everywhere, saying that on the night of Lin Fang's accident, you fell into the water and was rescued by Lu Che, and then he took you home, and then...then..."

    Zhu Xia couldn't say what she said later, but Jiang Yao understood what she meant, it was nothing more than saying that she had a hard time with Lu Che that night.

    "When did it come out? Did you say anything else?" Jiang Yao asked.

    Zhu Xia: "I don't know either. When I woke up this morning, I heard Aunt Tian's eldest daughter-in-law talking. I'll come and tell you as soon as I know. Besides, there are rumors that you and Lu Che live under the same roof. It's normal. It's impossible to have a relationship with someone, it must be... already a real couple... living in one room."

    The more she talked about it, the more anxious Zhu Xia became. She reached out and took Jiang Yao's hand and said, "Yaoyao, I know you are not that kind of person, but in this environment, you should move out of the Lu family first and follow I'll live in one."

    "No." Jiang Yao didn't have the slightest room for negotiation, and said, "I haven't done this before, doesn't it make me feel guilty if I move out now?"

    "That's right, but didn't you say your brother was coming? If he hears such a rumor..."

    Before Zhu Xia's words were finished, Jiang Yao hurried to Lu's house.

    God...how could she forget that Jiang Zhen, the big Buddha, is still there? It was difficult for him to accept that he was with Lu Che. If he knew about this, he would beat the mandarin ducks every minute.

    She ran back desperately, thinking in her heart that Jiang Zhen must not be allowed to go out today, no, it is because he must not be allowed to go out these days.

    Seeing that he was about to run to the door of Lu's house, victory was just ahead, and then he saw Jiang Zhen coming from another direction.

    "Brother...how did you...go out? Go...where?" Jiang Yao panted to Jiang Zhen, she wanted to see from his face that he didn't hear the rumors, but he said " Immediately call Lu Che back for me", announcing that he was aware of the matter.

    "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Jiang Zhen patted the table hard and pointed to Jiang Yao and Lu Che who were in front of him, his face completely black.

    Jiang Yao and Lu Che were like two children who had done something wrong, they stood respectfully, and upon hearing the sound, Jiang Yao replied, "I was given medicine that night. I was stunned and carried home, I slept here all night and went back the next day."

    "That's it?" Jiang Zhen asked.

    Jiang Yao: "That's it."

    "Shut up first." Jiang Zhen pointed at Lu Che and said, "Look at me and tell me if it's what Yaoyao said."

    "Yes." Lu Che met Jiang Zhen's eyes without flinching.

    Just as Jiang Zhen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he realized that he had missed an important point, and asked Jiang Yao, "Are you drugged? Who drugged you?"

    "How do I know?" Jiang Yao whispered, how could she be talking about herself, and she took the opportunity to sell badly, "You wanted me to move out last night, you don't know how dangerous I am outside."

    When she said this, Jiang Zhen didn't remember to blame, but only felt distressed in his heart. He sighed lightly and said, "Who spread this out? Do you have any clues?"

    When Zhu Xia told Jiang Yao just now, she already knew who did it.

    Knowing that she left the educated youth point that night, who else but Du Yuejiao? Although she didn't see where she ran that night with her own eyes, by contacting back and forth, she could guess.

    However, she couldn't get Du Yuejiao out at this time. If you push her into a hurry and shake out the fact that she took her own medicine, it will become very complicated.

    Not to mention what other people think, Lu Che can't stand it just knowing. Can he accept that his partner once liked another man, and may accept that his partner takes MEI pills to seduce/seduce that man?

    She felt that the answer was no, no matter how generous a man was, he couldn't be so generous.

    She has always been that people do not offend me and I do not offend others, but if others offend me, I will do so. Since Du Yuejiao doesn't want to be a good person, she will teach her to be a good person.

    However, now is not a good time to deal with her.

    "I can't think of who it is." Jiang Yao said, "but someone can prove that Lu Che and I are innocent."

    Jiang Zhen: "Who?"

    Jiang Yao: "The barefoot doctor here, Zhang Meifang."

    When Jiang Yao and Lu Che went to Zhang Meifang's house, she had already heard about it.

    Before they could speak, she had already said, "Let's go, I'll go and make it clear to everyone now."

    "Thank you, Doctor Zhang." Jiang Yao said sincerely.

    "You're welcome." Zhang Meifang said, "Last time there was an accident with Lu Che, I went back to my hometown and failed to testify to him in time. It almost turned into an unjust case. No matter what, I won't let you all suffer this time."

    At this point, most of the villagers were concentrated in the paddy fields of the production team. The three of them went straight there and found Lu Dazhou here.

    Lu Dazhou also knew this rumor, and was worried about what happened to his production team recently, when he heard Zhang Meifang say it was a misunderstanding. He laughed outright, then went back to the production team office, called all the members on the radio, and went to the rice field for a meeting.

    The Qingyuan production team was not large, and heard that it was about the peach and sex incident between Jiang Yao and Lu Che. In less than 20 minutes, everyone was there.

    In addition to the members, the educated youth also came.

    Du Yuejiao walked at the end, when her eyes met Jiang Yao's, she didn't have the slightest hint of timidity or guilty conscience, and she was full of provocation.

    Heh... this is not even willing to install it!

    "Ladies and gentlemen, some bad rumors about Jiang Yao and Lu Che spread all over our production team this morning. I don't know who is so vicious and want to spread rumors to hurt them, affect the reputation of our production team, and bring shame to the collective. For this matter, Jiang Yao and Lu Che hope to explain it clearly to everyone here, so as not to make random guesses."

    With that said, Lu Dazhou handed the loudspeaker to Lu Che, "Tell everyone."

    Lu Che took it and said, "Jiang Yao fell into the pond that night. I happened to pass by and jumped to save her. She was very scared because she couldn't swim, so I grabbed her everywhere, and I knocked her out. I didn't know it at the time. If you cut her or not, take her back to my house first, and then ask Dr. Zhang to come over to see if she has any problems."

    "Later, Dr. Zhang came to check and determined that she just fainted, so my sister took care of her. When she woke up at dawn, she went back. Because she didn't return all night, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of speculation when others knew, so she didn't follow up when she went back. The educated youth who are educated youth tell the truth.”

    "You said it yourself. You fell into the pond and hugged each other wet, and after spending the night at your house, I don't believe that nothing happened."

    After someone finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter full of wretchedness and trivialities.

    Lu Che looked at the malicious faces and clenched his fists in anger. Just when he was about to go wild, Jiang Yao grabbed his wrist to calm him down.

    At this time, Dr. Zhang came over and took the loudspeaker in his hand and said, "I did go to Lu's house that night. If Lu Che really wants to do something dirty, why don't he do it secretly? Why do you have to call me over? ?"

    "Yes, I live next door to Dr. Zhang, and I did hear someone knocking on the door that night." Someone stood up and testified.

    Then, more and more people chose to trust Lu Che. After all, Dr. Zhang is telling the truth. If Lu Che wants to take advantage of Jiang Yao, why should he invite someone who is in the way?

    Regardless of whether the villagers believed Lu Che's statement or not, this matter was finally turned over.

    At the door, Du Yue's face was contorted with anger.

    Du Yuejia looked at her appearance and felt that this matter might have something to do with her. She didn't know when her sister became like this, but fortunately Zhao Pengfei had already seen her true face.

    It wasn't Lu Che's fault, but Jiang Yao's reputation was ruined anyway, and Mrs. Lu felt sorry for her, so she apologized to Jiang Zhen when she got home: "Brother Yaoyao, Lu Che didn't do it right, let Yaoyao Yao is wronged."

    "It's not Lu Che's fault, but the people who deliberately spread rumors." Jiang Zhen is not a very unreasonable person, and through this incident, he appreciates Lu Che a little more, and he is sure that he is a Righteous gentleman.

    "This is the end of the matter, we can only find a way to stop the rumors." Jiang Zhen said.

    "How to stop? We can't control the mouth growing on others." Jiang Yao said.

    Jiang Zhen looked up at Jiang Yao and Lu Che, and said, "You two get married."
