Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 331 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 72

After more than a month of being in a daze, Zhao Xue, who was "seriously injured", slowly came out of the confused and disoriented feeling and gradually became sober.

She kept brainwashing herself and motivating herself to study hard, hoping to change her life by passing the college entrance examination.

After all, this is her last chance. Otherwise, what will she do with the rest of her life in this world?

-

After receiving information and letters from several grandfathers in Beijing, Cheng Shuo resolutely went to the team leader and resigned from his position as a tractor driver in the team.

Several grandfathers mentioned in general terms in the letter that everyone should seize the time to study, and estimated that there would be news in two months. The college entrance examination was a foregone conclusion and the exam would be held at the end of the year at the latest.

Cheng Shuo has always been diligent and focused when studying with Jiang Yueshu. Although he has not mastered everything now, he has a basic foundation after all.

The reason why he wanted to resign from his position as a tractor driver was that he wanted to have more free time and avoid the difficulty of finding a successor when the time came.

Secondly, he had some other opportunities in the town. There was a truck driver who needed to go to a distant province. Although the journey was long and he had to go out of the province, and the work was irregular and less frequent, he could earn at least a few hundred yuan per trip.

He didn't know what the results of the college entrance examination would be, but he would not stay in this small village for the rest of his life, so he needed to make plans early.

Besides, even if he no longer had a job as a truck driver, he could continue hunting in the mountains, which was always freer.

The captain felt a little regretful, and continued to persuade him after confirming that the other party had found a job in the town.

"Xiao Cheng, if you don't have time, you can just take a few days off. I'll keep this job for you. After all, being a tractor driver is more stable, and it's more convenient in our village."

"No, Uncle Sun. You are right, but I am still young and I need to go out and try my luck. I have a mother and a sister at home who need to be taken care of. Now that my mother is in better health and my sister has grown up a lot, it is a good opportunity for me to go out. Thank you very much, Uncle Sun." Cheng Shuo declined.

The captain sighed, thought of the difficulties at Cheng Shuo's family, and stopped trying to persuade him.

"Okay, I won't say much, just keep it in mind. Once you've made the handover, go ahead and feel free. I'm still here at home. If anyone asks you about it, just say you found a job in town, and don't say you're driving a sports car."

After all, if Cheng Shuo goes out for a long-distance bus trip, it will take at least a day and a night for him to come back. The Cheng family's mother and daughter are both orphans and widows, so it's better not to say too much, lest someone with ulterior motives hear it.

Cheng Shuo thought the same thing in his heart. He originally wanted to ask Captain Sun to keep it a secret, but who knew that he would bring it up first? He couldn't help but respond with some gratitude.

"Okay, I understand, uncle, thank you!"

The captain smiled and waved his hand, "Hey, what are you talking about. If you have anything to say, remember to tell me, don't keep it in your heart."

When the villagers learned that Cheng Shuo had found a job in the town and was going to quit his position as a tractor driver in the team, they were both happy and sighed.

After trying to persuade Cheng Shuo to no avail, and knowing that he had really found a job in the town, everyone happily called their family members to follow him to study.

The training and teaching in the team was carried out by another tractor driver, but in the last few days, Cheng Shuo needed to conduct a fault repair training for the tractor driver assigned by him.

Because compared with the two of them, although the other tractor driver's maintenance skills are also okay, they are not as good as Cheng Shuo's.

So when Cheng Shuo went to the brigade headquarters for fault training again, he bumped into a pair of eyes with complicated expressions as soon as he entered.

The new tractor driver turned out to be Lu Jianjun.

Cheng Shuo's eyes flickered slightly, but returned to normal the next second, and he explained things to the two of them in a businesslike manner.

When he was young and frivolous, he might have disliked Lu Jianjun for losing the conscription quota, but the various circumstances he encountered now have already changed his mentality.

Due to fate, although he lost the opportunity to join the army, he met Jiang Yueshu, his mother's health gradually improved, and he could often stay with his family.

In every aspect, he is very satisfied with his current life, and the resentment has long been put aside with the passage of time.

Lu Jianjun looked at Cheng Shuo with mixed feelings, as he changed his usual sharp attitude and couldn't help feeling a little absent-minded.

Cheng Shuo felt the other person's gaze and just glanced at him calmly, "I have to go to town the day after tomorrow, so I only have these two days to train you."

Lu Jianjun, who always felt that the other party was pointing at him, quickly withdrew his gaze and nodded awkwardly.

After several hours of theory and hands-on demonstrations, Cheng Shuo concluded today's training.

After telling the two that he would talk about it tomorrow, he walked straight to the door.

Lu Jianjun watched him walking further and further away, and for some reason, he subconsciously followed him out the door.

After walking for several steps, Cheng Shuo turned around and looked at him in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Lu Jianjun paused and was speechless for a moment.

He waited until the confusion in Cheng Shuo's eyes turned into surprise and he was about to turn around and leave, then he spoke.

"sorry!"

When Cheng Shuo heard these three words, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him without saying anything.

Lu Jianjun looked at him with complicated eyes, "I know everything. The conscription quota that year should have been yours, but my parents..."

He pursed his lips, unable to say anything about repaying his parents' kindness, so he just said dryly, "I'm sorry!"

Cheng Shuo said calmly, "No need. Your family did help us back then. Although we have paid back the money, it was thanks to your timely loan."

Hearing that Cheng Shuo didn't mind, the guilt that had been lingering in his heart for many days dissipated. Lu Jianjun's eyes lit up, and he suppressed his excitement, "Then in the future we--"

He wanted to ask, since Cheng Shuo didn't mind, could they still restore their original brotherhood.

Before the conscription issue came out, the relationship between their two families was actually pretty good, and the two Lu brothers often played together with Cheng Shuo, although they were the kind of brothers where you wouldn't obey me and I wouldn't obey you.

But after that incident, the relationship between the two families gradually became distant, until Cheng Shuo's unilateral confrontation made the relationship between the two increasingly tense.

"Ah!"

Cheng Shuo smiled sarcastically and interrupted Lu Jianjun before he could finish his words.

"How funny! You're still talking to me about the future? The debt my Cheng family owed your Lu family was repaid five years ago. I don't mind being a soldier, but that doesn't mean I'm a pushover!"

"Firstly, I, Cheng Shuo, cannot afford to be friends with people like you who want to repay a favor. Secondly, you have condoned and colluded with your ex-wife to provoke me and my friends many times. Even with this, do you still think that we can join hands and become good friends again?"

Listening to Cheng Shuo's merciless words, Lu Jianjun's face turned pale and his expression was embarrassed.

Cheng Shuo was very satisfied with what he saw, and added a few words with a slight smile on his lips.

"Of course, you, Lu Jianjun, are a goody-goody. If you are willing to forgive your ex-wife after she did so many bad things, that's your business. I just don't know if the rest of your Lu family is willing to do the same."

Cheng Shuo chuckled, and ignored Lu Jianjun who was standing there with a pale face, and went home happily.

Although the two had a quarrel the day before, they both acted as if nothing had happened during the training the next day. Cheng Shuo explained to the two with his superb teaching qualities.

Lu Jianjun was silent and just listened quietly.

Two days later, Cheng Shuo and Hao Zhi packed their luggage, said goodbye to everyone, and went to drive the sports car.

Mother Cheng's health has recovered now. Apart from her weak resistance that needs recuperation, she has no other illnesses.

After Cheng Shuo left, Cheng's mother took on the role of chef.

Perhaps due to genetic reasons, Cheng's mother's craftsmanship is also very good, even better than Cheng Shuo's.

Jiang Yueshu, Fang Ruoyao and Cheng Yueyue followed and learned from the side, starting by helping out.

Cheng Shuo was gone for three days this time. On the day he was about to come back, the whole family went out together to pick him up and go to the market.

Because there were so many people, they did not take a ox cart, but walked slowly to the town.

Not long after passing the end of the village, a strange woman in a headscarf came towards us. Her eyes darted back and forth between several people, as if she was thinking about something.

Although everyone felt it was a bit strange, they didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the other party might just be curious.

As a result, they watched helplessly as the woman's eyes fixed on Cheng's mother, who was walking in front of them arm in arm with Cheng Yueyue, and she took a few quick steps and actually walked straight over to them.

"Big sister, are you from this village?"

She pointed to the village behind her, looking inquiringly.

Mother Cheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and responded, "Yes."

"Is it Xinghua Village?"

"Yes." Cheng's mother said again.

The woman's eyes lit up obviously, and she took a few steps closer, almost speaking to Cheng's mother.

"Big sister, I'm the matchmaker in town, and I want to ask you something."

Cheng's mother asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

The woman immediately replied, "Is there a girl named Liu Qingqing in your village?"

Mother Cheng was startled and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yueshu who was walking hand in hand with Fang Ruoyao behind her.

"There is such a person." Her tone suddenly became calmer.

The woman's eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at the pretty girl behind her and smiled even more widely.

"Big sister, I'm really not lying to you. Comrade Liu Qingqing works at the Changming Garment Factory in our town. There's a guy in the factory who's attracted to her, so he asked me to find out more about her."

Mother Cheng still reacted indifferently and declined verbally.

"I have not been in good health these years and have been staying at home. I don't know the details."

The woman glanced at Cheng's mother, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and continued to talk to the few people with a smile on her face.

"Since the eldest sister doesn't know, I can ask the other girls. They are all around the same age, so I guess they know more."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Jiang Yueshu, holding her hand intimately and talking.

With his other hand, he took out three White Rabbit candies from his pocket and handed them to the three young girls.

"Big sister, I'm in time, and I didn't bring anything with me. I just happened to have three candies left, one for each girl!"

She handed the candy to Jiang Yueshu first, but Jiang Yueshu did not take it.

The woman was a little embarrassed and was about to put a candy into Jiang Yueshu's hand, but Jiang Yueshu dodged it.

She had no choice but to give away the other two candies temporarily, but was still rejected.

The woman could hardly maintain her composure after being humiliated by a few young girls in a row. She really couldn't understand why these three young girls were so uncultured.

Jiang Yueshu only spoke at this time, "No need, Auntie!"

"You really asked the wrong person today. I not only know Liu Qingqing, but I also know her very well. You should know about her family members!"

The woman was confused by the incoherent words and nodded stupidly.

"That's fine. It was only after my mother passed away that Liu Qingqing and her daughter entered the Jiang family."

After hearing this, the unfamiliar woman instantly knew the other person's identity. The person in front of her was Liu Qingqing's stepsister.

"I have long since separated from the Jiang family. I have already written a letter of severance, and the Jiang family has asked me not to interfere in any of their affairs in the future. So, you are asking the wrong person!"

The woman was shocked and subconsciously glanced up and down at the other person.

She knew that Liu Qingqing had a stepsister. Liu Qingqing said that the stepsister was extremely selfish and had secretly learned how to drive a tractor from somewhere. In order to prevent her family from taking advantage of her, she not only deliberately separated from the Jiang family, but even ignored her father and brother after they were seriously injured and was unwilling to lend them money.

Because of Liu Qingqing's words, she didn't have a good impression of her stepsister.

But she never expected that the woman in front of her with a somewhat cold temperament and beautiful face was actually the unfilial daughter she mentioned.

And—she didn’t even say anything bad about Liu Qingqing.

This really doesn't match the cold-blooded and unfilial daughter described by Liu Qingqing.

"So, if you want to know about Liu Qingqing's situation, you should go to the village and ask someone!"

After leaving these words, Jiang Yueshu and his companions bypassed the woman and headed towards the town, not caring about her reaction at all.

The woman stared at the backs of the men for a while before she walked towards Xinghua Village in a secretive manner.

An hour later, the unfamiliar woman came out of the village with a gloomy face.

-

"I disagree."

Mother Chen looked at her hopeful son and refused with a stern face.

"Why?" Chen Liwen asked unwillingly.

"Because none of their Jiang family is good. Liu Qingqing wanted to use her stepsister to marry a soldier in their village. If that didn't work out, do you think she would be interested in you?"

When talking about what she had found out, Chen's mother became angry.

"Mom, how can you say that? Qingqing didn't know me at that time. It was just a coincidence. How could she be that kind of person? Besides, didn't the soldier get married?"

Chen Liwen argued dissatisfiedly.

"You know? Well, you even hid it from your mother. What did Liu Qingqing tell you?" Chen's mother stood up and stared into her son's eyes.

"Mom, Qingqing is a stepdaughter. She has no say in that family. Even if her father and grandmother are a little excessive, what does this have to do with her?"
