Chapter 1308 The Adult World Is so Complicated

Huwa's big eyes were full of confusion, and he looked at the little brother and little sister in the room with great confusion.

Children in mountain villages have less educational resources than people in cities. Many boys and girls may not have studied in high school. What's worse, many have not studied in junior high school.

Because they do not study, and many people may never leave this mountain in their lifetime, most girls do not have a real job. After dropping out of school, they may face life full of trivial matters.

Occasionally they make a little money by knitting, or do some work during the busy farming season, but most of the time, they are idle at home. Perhaps the only way to kill boredom is to fall in love with neighbors and play mahjong.

So in fact, in Meihua Village, there are many girls who get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen because of improper protection measures.

Of course, this so-called "marriage" is just a unilateral banquet between the man's family and the woman's family. In Plum Blossom Village, this is considered a marriage.

After all, I'm not old enough to get a certificate yet.

Plum Blossom Village is a small place, and everyone from the beginning to the end of the village knows each other, so by setting the table for wine, each other recognized the marriage.

Of course, if the woman's luck is even worse and she has a minor quarrel with a boy when she is sixteen or seventeen years old, but the man is unwilling to take responsibility, everyone may laugh and laugh.

Some girls may grit their teeth and leave their hometowns, or some may be cowardly and live under such a gaze, or even commit suicide by drowning themselves in a river.

…

Ye Linlang has witnessed such a thing with her own eyes, so no matter what, she and Jiang Qiran will never go too far before she and Jiang Qiran get married, or at least get engaged.

In this world, it is somewhat unfair to girls if something like this happens.

Ye Linlang looked at the innocent face of the village chief's son Huwa, and the talk that a pair of opposite sexes would have children if they lay in the same bed, and didn't know whether to laugh or be embarrassed.

She glanced at Jiang Qiran with some confusion, and was about to explain, but she slowly heard the voice of the boy next to her.

"Sister Linlang, she is indeed my wife."

Probably because he just woke up early, Jiang Qiran's voice was clear, but also had a lazy hoarseness, like velvet, which made people's hearts itch.

When Ye Linlang heard this, his eyes suddenly widened!

Hey, hey, this shameless person actually took advantage of me verbally early in the morning, and even fooled a child!

It is unbearable!

Ye Linlang immediately picked up the pillow next to him and threw it heavily on Jiang Qiran's body.

"Hu baby! Don't listen to this bad brother! He is a big liar! I am not his wife!"

Huwa stared blankly at Ye Linlang and Jiang Qiran's mischief, a little confused.

He wrung his little hands nervously, not knowing whether it was better to listen to brother Qiran or sister Linlang.

My parents have said that these two brothers and sisters are students from the city. They know a lot of things and have won many awards. They must listen to their words.

But his parents didn’t teach him that when his brother and sister have differences, which side should he take?

…

Jiang Qiran wasn't annoyed at all when Ye Linlang made such a fuss.

He smiled slightly, and his normally stern eyebrows, because of the faint arc at the corners of his lips, were like melting ice and snow, which was extremely moving.

"Huwa is a good boy. Don't tell your parents what happened this morning, okay? Don't tell anyone except your brothers and sisters."

After all, the impact of him sleeping with Ye Linlang was not good. Huwa was a child and would not think too much about it, but adults would inevitably misunderstand him and Ye Linlang.

Ahem, although this kind of thing cannot be said to be a misunderstanding.

…

Huwa nodded blankly. His brother smiled so beautifully. Since his sister didn't refute, he should just say what he said.

Huwa is young, but he has the stubbornness to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.

"Brother Qi Ran, is Sister Linlang your wife?"

My mother used to say that boys and girls could sleep together only if they were married.

Ye Linlang was amused by Huwa's stubbornness. She put on her clothes and stood up, then put on her slippers with a few kicks.

"Actually, what Qi Ran and I said are right. My sister is Qi Ran's girlfriend now, but in a few years, she will be Qi Ran's... daughter-in-law."

When she said the word daughter-in-law, the smile on Ye Linlang's lips suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and she almost couldn't speak clearly.

Huwa nodded confusedly, but actually he still didn't understand.

Hey, the world of adults is so complicated.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore!

…

Ye Linlang personally made breakfast for Jiang Qiran.

Once winter arrives, and there are frequent obstacles on the road due to the weather, there are not many supplies in the mountain villages, and exchange becomes a problem.

So Ye Linlang could only use limited resources to bake a cornmeal pancake for Jiang Qiran.

In fact, it was very rough, the taste was mediocre, and even the edges were burnt. Ye Linlang thought Jiang Qiran would dislike it. After all, this guy was used to pampering himself, and at first glance, it didn't look like he could succumb to such a simple life.

However, Jiang Qiran ate happily and finished every bit of it.

Ye Linlang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"Is it that delicious?"

The young man pursed his lips and smiled.

"Because you did it."

His tone was calm, not like he was trying to coax Ye Linlang, but the girl sitting next to Jiang Qiran blushed.

…

The wind is light and the clouds are light, and the sun's rays are faintly visible on the horizon, but it is not obvious. It looks like it will be cloudy.

This was the first day of teaching in Meihua Village. After breakfast, Ye Linlang and Jiang Qiran quickly went to the empty classroom that Hope Primary School had prepared.

Ye Linlang thought she had arrived very early, but unexpectedly, the teacher's room was already dark and filled with children of different grades.

Some look smaller than Huwa, while others are the same age as Ye Linlang, or even older.

However, their eyes were filled with the light of thirst for knowledge.

Ye Linlang was stunned.

She had never seen this kind of posture before she was seventeen years old.

Although Xiaohuang Village is poor, it is not as short of teacher resources as Plum Blossom Village. At least, Xiaohuang Village has a high school, and there are eight teachers in charge of the entire school.

Plum Blossom Village doesn’t even have a high school.

Some people are born into wealth, while some people have a hard time even getting an education.

…

Ye Linlang was a little ashamed by their looks. She followed Jiang Qiran and walked to the podium in confusion, just about to say something.

Suddenly, I heard a girl in the audience who looked much younger than herself, pointing her hand at Jiang Qiran's neck in surprise.

"Teacher, what's the matter with the marks on your neck?"
