Chapter 34 I am too abrupt
"I'm only sixteen this year, and I won't be seventeen until after the New Year."
In other words, is it appropriate for him, a grown man who is almost thirty years old, to say such things to a little girl?
Obviously, Jin Changfeng didn't know Wen Xi's age, because Wen Xi clearly caught a trace of surprise flashing across his face.
In fact, he went to the Youth League Office that day, intending to ask them to assign Wenxi to his production team, but he didn't expect that Wenxi had already been assigned to the Harvest Brigade and there was no need for him to mediate. It was just that he only saw Wenxi's name at the time and didn't look at the age behind it.
Moreover, he thought that high school students who came to the countryside should be at least 18 years old. At 18, they could indeed consider marriage. They could date for two years and get married at the age of 20. However, he did not expect Wen Xi to...
"Brother Jin, I don't know why you like me, but I still want to tell you that I'm still young and not old enough to find a partner. My family will never agree to my finding a partner, and I have no intention of getting married, so if you want to get married and have children when you are old enough, you can try to find someone else. I believe that you are a responsible gentleman. No matter who you marry, you will do your duty, love and protect her, be a good husband, and then be a good father."
Wen Xi rejected Jin Changfeng's confession because there was too big a gap between them and in terms of social status, she was not worthy of Jin Changfeng at all.
Another point is that the age gap is too big. The two are nine years apart, almost a whole generation apart. And for someone as outstanding as Jin Changfeng, it is impossible that no one likes him.
Wen Xi has read the original text. Every outstanding man and man with decent conditions that appears in the book has several childhood sweethearts who grew up with him and have always had a crush on this man.
Just like the male protagonist Xia Minglei, who seems to treat the heroine wholeheartedly, there are several women around him who grew up with him and are devoted to him.
There was a woman who turned from love to hate after Xia Minglei brought Lin Yiwan back. She cooperated with the villain Lin Lan and kidnapped Lin Yiwan. Lin Lan just wanted to kidnap Lin Yiwan and make her marry his brother Lin Jing, but the female villain wanted Lin Yiwan to die.
It's just that she did it in a rather covert way and Lin Lan didn't know about it. In the end, everything she did was blamed on Lin Lan, otherwise Lin Lan would not have been sentenced so heavily.
Even a man like Zhu Jiawen who has no advantages has several women fighting for him, let alone the outstanding Jin Changfeng!
Not to mention where he works, even in this Harvest Brigade, there are probably many female comrades who like him and want to marry him. After all, he and Comrade Zhao Jianguo are both soldiers, and they are the two best male comrades in the village for marriage, especially in this era, everyone wants to marry a soldier.
So it would be easy for him to get married and have children, but Wen Xi would not put herself in such danger, and she did not want to get involved in any female competition.
She had no experience in this area, and she could not beat those women who would do anything for men. Of course, she did not want to get involved in these boring, dangerous and time-wasting things.
"Sorry, I was rude." Jin Changfeng stared at Wen Xi's face with a gloomy look.
After all, it took him so many years to meet such a girl who made his heart beat faster.
But the result...
He really didn't expect Wen Xi was still so young, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing. She would have to wait at least two years. If he said it now, it should scare her, right?
Wen Xi stuffed the watch and the apple into Jin Changfeng's hands and said, "Brother Jin, I will pretend that what happened today never happened. We will still be the same as before, and you don't have to feel burdened."
After Wenxi finished speaking, he picked up the backpack and went back, picking up some firewood as he walked. He couldn't make a wasted trip!
When they got home, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were sitting under the eaves, basking in the sun and eating apples, swinging their feet. They looked so comfortable. "Xiaoxi, the apples you bought are so delicious, fragrant and sweet."
"Really? I bought it from an old man outside the supply and marketing cooperative. I was afraid that someone would see me buying it and running away. I haven't eaten it yet. I'll eat one later." Wen Xi smiled and carried the firewood in the backpack to the kitchen and poured it on the ground next to the stove.
Afterwards, he went back to the room, took an apple, washed it, and sat next to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, eating the apple while basking in the sun.
"It would be great if I didn't have to work all the time." Shen Jiaojiao suddenly sighed!
Wen Xi smiled helplessly, "What sweet dreams are you having? We came to the countryside to work, how could we rest all the time? Fortunately, there is only wheat in the fields, and there is not much to do. Even if we have to work, we can only work for a few days."
Not long after a few people finished chatting, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Wen Xi hurried over to open the door, but he didn't expect that it was Captain Qian's grandson Qian Lei.
"Sister Xiaoxi, we have to go to work tomorrow morning. My grandma asked me to come and inform you to gather at the threshing ground at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." Xiaolei said.
"Thank you Xiaolei for coming to inform me. We now know." Wenxi reached out and rubbed the child's soft hair and gave him two White Rabbit milk candies.
After Xiao Lei left, Wen Xi turned around and shrugged helplessly at Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. Shen Jiaojiao was really a jinx. She had just said she didn't want to go to work, but she had to go to work tomorrow.
"We have to go to work tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow. Let's have breakfast first." Other families have many people and not enough food, so they only have two meals a day. They have food and meat, so they don't have to go hungry.
Wen Xi felt regretful when she thought about having to go to work tomorrow morning and not being able to go to the mountains to collect fish. It was winter and there was no pig grass to collect. Even if she applied to go collect pig grass, it would be useless. It seemed that she had to plan carefully.
In the afternoon, Captain Qian came with two electricians to help with the electricity. Wenxi made sugar water for the three of them and also gave them some fruit candies. Since the benefits were generous, they naturally worked more seriously.
Now that electricity is available, there is no need to light candles at night.
They go to bed early at night and don't have to stay up late. In fact, it doesn't cost much for electricity, and she can afford that little.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Wenxi went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. After cooking, Wenxi pulled the light cord in the kitchen, and the light bulb emitted a dim light. Although it was not very bright, with this, she no longer had to live in the dark.
After dinner, everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
In the dark room, Jin Changfeng lay on the bed with his arms as his pillow. Wen Xi's figure was all in his mind and he couldn't fall asleep.
