Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 222: Taking down Zhou Qingyu

Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu were shocked by Xu Jichang's actions at the same time.

He... what is he doing?

He is too courageous!

Their brains were shut down at the same time, and they didn't know whether they should shout out or not.

Lan Qimei was sleeping in the next bedroom. What if the noise between the two of them was a little louder and she heard it?
The two of them were undecided, but fortunately Xu Jichang put his arm down at this moment.

"I'm going to prepare dinner."

Xu Jichang stood up and said, leaving the two girls still sitting in front of the fireplace at a loss.

What happened just now...even if it's over like this?

It's not that simple!

This is the unanimous thought of Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu.

But if not, what can the two of them do?

Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu looked at each other, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.

……

"How could he... disrespect me and you so much."

After a long time, Xia Yingxue suppressed her blush and said with a hint of anger.

Zhou Qingyu didn't say a word. She was still in a state of complete confusion, and there were some things in her heart that were not convenient for her to say to Xia Yingxue.

"Zi zi zi ......"

At this moment, in the kitchen, Xu Jichang threw an eviscerated fish into the pot, and the hot oil made a popping sound.

Lan Qimei is usually in charge of the family, but today she caught a cold and needed to rest, so Xu Jichang stepped in for her.

Shortly after pouring the fish in, Xu Jichang estimated that the downward side had been fried to brown, so he turned the fish over with a spatula, added some water to it, sprinkled a handful of ginger, and closed the lid of the pot.

His move just now seemed a bit too bold, but in fact it was carefully considered.

Now that they both know that Lan Qimei is their woman, what if they are bolder and hug her on both sides at the same time?
If you can accept Lan Qimei, you will naturally be able to accept what you just did. If you can't accept Lan Qimei, then even if you behave yourself just now, you still won't be able to do it in the end.

Xu Jichang calculated this very clearly, that's why he made such a move just now.

And according to his prediction, the last two girls should be able to accept it.

There is no reason, just intuition!
After a while, Xu Jichang prepared four dishes and prepared to take them back to the living room.

At this time, in the living room, Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu were whispering and exchanging their inner thoughts.

"He's like this, how should we face him in the future?"

Xia Yingxue stared at the dancing flames in the fireplace with her beautiful eyes and said with a troubled expression.

The project was coming to an end, but there was still work to be done, and she would inevitably have to deal with Xu Jichang.

Xia Yingxue felt very regretful at this moment. She felt that she had reacted slowly just now and she should have shown Xu Jichang some color, otherwise she would not be able to hold her head up in front of him in the future.

Unlike her shame and anger, Zhou Qingyu's expression was calmer.

Before today, she knew that Xu Jichang had Du Xiaojing, and she had already built up expectations about her possible position.

So the scene just now had a much smaller impact on her.

"Just pretend... this didn't happen?"

She thought for a while and asked Xia Yingxue tentatively.

"Uh……"

Xia Yingxue held her cheek with one hand and remained silent for the time being.

Although Zhou Qingyu's suggestion sounds too compromising.

But apart from this, there seems to be... no better way?
Xia Yingxue said helplessly in her heart and closed her eyes in silence.

When Zhou Qingyu saw her like this, she didn't say anything.

As early as Xu Jichang went out to cook soon, she had thought about it.

Xu Jichang had told himself before that he was talking to Du Xiaojing, but hadn't he come to his house to warm up today?
Now that the first step has been taken, what else is there to worry about next...?

Just follow your feelings.

As long as he treats me well...

Zhou Qingyu thought in her heart.

However, she will not tell Xia Yingxue her thoughts right now because she is worried about being scolded by Xia Yingxue.

"dinner's ready."

Just when Zhou Qingyu and Xia Yingxue were having their own thoughts, Xu Jichang held a tray in his hand and brought out the prepared dishes, "Remember to serve the food yourself. I don't know how much you eat."

Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu then stood up, walked to the table and sat down.

so rich?

When Zhou Qingyu saw the dishes on the table, a thought came to his mind.

Grilled seabass, salted prawns, fried soft-shelled turtle and fried chicken, plus a vegetarian dish.

This level of food was beyond her knowledge.

Even if my family celebrates the New Year, the food is not so good!

Xia Yingxue sighed at Xu Jichang's cooking skills.

Originally, she thought that Xu Jichang relied entirely on Lan Qimei to cook, and his own cooking skills were not good.

But looking at the delicious dishes in front of her, she realized that her previous judgment was completely wrong.

"Seventh sister, let's go eat."

In the bedroom next to her, Xu Jichang sat beside the bed and said to Lan Qimei, who was sleeping, "You feel a lot more comfortable, right?"

Lan Qimei was woken up by him and rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Well, it'll be better after some sleep."

"I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."

The two came from the bedroom to the living room, and saw that Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu had already divided their chopsticks, waiting for them to eat.

Because of the scene just now, the two of them looked slightly embarrassed when they saw Xu Jichang, burying their faces and refusing to speak.

Xu Jichang didn't forcefully start the topic, he just invited the girls to eat.

It was already night after dinner, and Xia Yingxue said she was sleepy. Xu Jichang did not force her to stay. He just arranged a room for her to live in and handed the key to her.

Lan Qimei also went to sleep in the next bedroom because she caught a cold in the afternoon. Xu Jichang and Zhou Qingyu were the only ones left in the living room for a while.

"What do you think? How could you do it in front of both of us..."

As soon as he was alone, Zhou Qingyu looked at Xu Jichang with resentment.

"I understand that's a little sudden."

Xu Jichang said calmly, "But you don't hate it either, do you?"

This……

Zhou Qingyu was hit in his weak spot and was speechless for a moment.

She wanted to refute Xu Jichang to prove her self-esteem and draw a clear line.

But when the words came to his lips, they became soft and soft.

"You hate..."

She rolled her eyes at Xu Jichang and raised her face to ignore him.

There is a play.

Not only did Xu Jichen not flinch, he stretched out his big hand and took one of her small hands: "Don't worry, I don't just want to play with you."

"As long as you are willing to be nice to me, I will always treat you sincerely."

Zhou Qingyu snorted: "Do you really mean what you say?"

"Naturally."

Xu Jichang said sincerely, "How I treated Lan Qimei is how I will treat you in the future."

"Then what if you don't keep your word?"

"I'm not that kind of person."

……

After some back and forth, Zhou Qingyu's eyes gradually softened and her tone became softer.

That's it now.Xu Jichang understood that the time had come, stretched out his arms to take Zhou Qingyu into his arms, and kissed her cherry red lips before she had time to react.

Zhou Qingyu blushed and instinctively stretched out her hand to push Xu Jichang's chest gently: "You... don't."

"What, don't you like me?"

Xu Jichang let go of her and asked seriously.

Zhou Qingyu lowered his eyes and shook his head, with a somewhat complicated expression.

Everything that happened today was beyond the capacity of her brain and burned out her CPU.

Faced with Xu Jichang's question just now, she certainly wouldn't say yes, but she didn't want to simply obey.

And her tangled look had been caught in Xu Jichang's eyes.

According to Xu Jichang's experience, in situations like this, you need to be patient and deal with it slowly.

Thinking of this, he hugged Zhou Qingyu much less strongly. He just used a big hand to slowly rub her slim buttocks without making any more aggressive moves.

Zhou Qingyu saw that Xu Jichang's behavior was not particularly excessive, so he slowly put away his hand, stopped pushing him out, and gradually fell into his arms.

According to this situation, Xu Jichang would usually slap her on the buttocks.

It was just that little girl Zhou Qingyu couldn't help but feel shy, so she didn't take any action.

He just held Zhou Qingyu in his arms and let her go after a long while.

"Go to the room next to Yingxue."

Xu Jichang took out a key, handed it to her and said, "There is a stove in the house, you can use it to live."

"But remember to open the windows a slit."

"Ok."

Zhou Qingyu took the key and said with a rosy face.

Xu Jichang arranged her properly, turned around and was about to go back to the bedroom, when he was stopped by Zhou Qingyu: "Wait a minute."

"Well!"

Before he could recover and say anything, Zhou Qingyu stood up on tiptoes and kissed him firmly.

Xu Jichang was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what he was doing, he wanted to catch her, but she covered her mouth and ran away quickly.

This girl is interesting...

Xu Jichang looked at Zhou Qingyu's fleeing back and clicked his tongue in his heart.

The night was already dark, Xu Jichang and Zhou Qingyu returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed and looked at the sky outside the window for a while, then got up and closed the curtains, lying back on the bed and lost in thought.

It is already the autumn and winter of 1975, and there are only two or three months left before 1976.

How should I plan my future path?

This is an issue that needs careful consideration.

Going to college and starting a business are already determined goals.

What about something more detailed?What exactly is the business?What major did you study in college?
These are all questions that can be thought about in advance.

Xu Jichang never doubted that he could stand out in the college entrance examination in this era. He only needed to think about his subsequent choices.

After much tossing and turning, he finally came up with some ideas about these two issues.

First of all, the major should be relaxed and there should be many girls, so that you can have time to do business while going to school, and your life can be more colorful.

As for the content of the transaction, it is better to invest in something with a small capital first.

In the 80s, there was not much room left for private investment in huge amounts. Small capital was more flexible to move around, and the profits were not necessarily less than those from large projects.

That's it, think of this first and talk about it later.

Xu Jichang thought in his heart, turned over and fell asleep.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Jichang went to his unit to find out whether he wanted to go to work today.

Theoretically speaking, there is no need for it. After all, there is so much snow that it makes a squeaking sound when you step on it.

The problem is that when the factory asked everyone to come back early yesterday afternoon, they did not say that they could not go to work tomorrow.

Then it is necessary to go to the factory and ask specifically.

At least Xu Jichang asked early, so that the girls in the courtyard would know whether they should go or not.

"Squeaky..."

Xu Jichang walked on the snow nest and rushed all the way to the Dongfang Fertilizer Factory.

Naturally, it is impossible to ride a bicycle on such a day.

It was only a 5-minute ride, but he walked in the snow for half an hour.

When he arrived at the factory, Xu Jichang saw two security guards from the factory office huddled in their booths.

"Boss, the factory sent us to inform everyone that you don't have to go to work today."

The security guard saw Xu Jichang from a distance and greeted him loudly.

When Xu Jichang heard this, he turned around and walked towards home, walking faster than when he came here.

However, just as he passed a small alley, he changed his mind and chose to slow down.

Normally, he and You Qingxia walked this way to work together. If they walked slower today, they might meet her.

Xu Jichang paced slowly in the snow, and after a while he really saw You Qingxia.

She was panting slightly and wading hard in the snow. She was obviously going to the factory to ask about work.

"No need to go."

Xu Jichang said to You Qingxia who was busy on her way, "I won't go to work today."

You Qingxia heard his voice and raised her pretty face: "That's good, it's snowing..."

"Do you have food at home?"

Xu Jichang said to You Qingxia who was walking towards him as he stepped forward.

"Yes, I saved some vegetables."

"Do you have enough money to buy briquettes for the winter? I don't have enough money here."

While talking, Xu Jichang took out a few bills from his pocket and handed them to You Qingxia.

The moment You Qingxia's jade hand touched the banknote, she shrank back as if she was electrocuted, but she finally took it in her hand.

"Thank you."

She buried her face and said, then paused and added, "I will never be able to repay your kindness in this life."

Xu Jichang smiled after hearing this, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he stretched out a big hand to hold You Qingxia's face, and whispered a few words in her ear.

You Qingxia immediately blushed: "Rogue..."

Xu Jichang shrugged: "Look at you, you didn't say you were clear just now."

"Now you're calling me a hooligan again."

"That's what I owe the gangster."

You Qingxia covered her mouth and smiled, looking extremely beautiful.

"Let's go, don't worry about Yuqing waiting for a long time."

Xu Jichang patted You Qingxia's round buttocks and quickened his pace.

……

When he returned home, he shouted in the yard to inform the girls that he would not have to go to work, and then entered his house.

Lan Qimei was still sleeping soundly in another bedroom, and the house was quiet.

There were some unburned firewood left in the fireplace. Xu Jichang relit the firewood and sat in front of it to warm up the fire.

As soon as she got warmer, Xia Yingxue's voice came from outside the door: "Open the door."

Xu Jichang stood up and opened the door for her, and saw a serious look on her face.

"Please come in."

Xu Jichang knew in his heart that she must have something big to do with him, but he still said it as if nothing had happened.

Xia Yingxue followed him into the house without saying a word, and instead of warming herself in front of the fireplace, she ran into the living room with an extremely serious question.
