2. Educated Youth Who Abandoned Their Wives and Children

Yan Chu hadn't figured out what he should do to make a girl feel happy. After all, the opposite sex he had the most contact with in his previous life was his mother. It was impossible for him to treat Lin Dingding as his mother.

He frowned slightly, put on the coat placed beside him, got off the kang, and opened the door for the little girl outside.

It was December now, and it was far from the coldest day of the year. It was just that Yan Chu had a fever and his body temperature was different from that of ordinary people, so he had to keep warm.

"Brother Yan, I just heard from Brother Lin that you have a fever. This is the medicine I got from my uncle. Take it quickly."

Lin Dingding's father is the leader of the production team, her uncle is the secretary of the commune, her second uncle is the only barefoot doctor in several nearby villages, and there is a younger uncle who drives a long-distance truck in the county's transportation team.

In the Lin family and Lin Dingding's grandmother's side, she is the only daughter of this generation. All other uncles and uncles have sons, and everyone treats her as their own daughter.

She has a delicate appearance, curved eyebrows, a small and upturned nose, and cherry pink lips. She is not a stunning beauty at first sight, but she is very comfortable to look at.

As a daughter of a farmer's family, no matter how favored she is, she still has to do basic housework. Lin Dingding has three older brothers, and the family's labor is enough. She does not need to go to the fields to earn work points. On weekdays, she only needs to feed the chickens and ducks at home, and help the family wash clothes and cook. Therefore, her skin is definitely rougher than the spoiled girls in the city. Her skin is not white, but with a healthy wheat color, which is more energetic and vigorous.

"I don't know if there is hot water in the kitchen. This medicine must be taken with hot water. Brother Yan, go lie on the kang first, don't get cold, it will aggravate the condition."

The little girl is quite straightforward, but she is still a little shy in front of her lover. There are two suspicious blushes on her cheeks, and her eyes are dodging. She has never looked directly into Yan Chu's eyes since she entered the door.

Yan Chu was driven to the kang by the girl. Watching her busying around, he suddenly realized that at this time, the original body seemed to have taken advantage of Lin Dingding's affection for him to show his ambiguous attitude towards the girl. I'm afraid that in Lin Dingding's eyes, the two of them are in love with each other.

Scum, really scum!

Yan Chu cursed the original body fiercely in his heart, and then he thought it was wrong. Now he is Yan Chu in this world. In the heart of the girl, the man who has a mutual affection with her is not him?

He quickly opened the task panel. Sure enough, the main task with zero progress now shows 8% progress, which means that Lin Dingding's happiness is now 8 points. If he suddenly told the other party at this time, I don't like you, you were just being sentimental before, I'm afraid this progress will become negative points all of a sudden.

Yan Chu was a little embarrassed. It's easy for you to let him make money, but he can't let him fall in love with the girl.

"There is hot water in the kitchen, Brother Yan, I will make the medicine powder for you, drink it while it is hot."

Lin Dingding came in from outside, holding a bowl in one hand and a kettle in the other: "I put the kettle in the room, you can pour it whenever you want."

"Thank you, Dingding." Yan Chu felt embarrassed watching the girl busying around, and quickly took the bowl she handed over.

The bowl for the medicine was just an ordinary rice bowl. When Yan Chu took the bowl, he inevitably touched Lin Dingding's fingers. It was the first time for the girl to have such close contact with him, and she immediately withdrew her hand in shame.

"Well, you drink the medicine and rest early, I, I'll leave first."

The little face was red and almost smoked. Lin Dingding looked at the man on the kang who was still handsome even though he was sick and couldn't take his eyes off. His slender fingers twisted the corners of his clothes, almost twisting them into a rag.

"Wait a minute, Ding Ding."

Yan Chu thought about it. The little girl specially brought him medicine. He couldn't let her go for nothing. He was not allowed to do that because of his upbringing.

"This is the fried dough sticks I bought when I went to the city before, and this bag of candy was sent by my mother. You girls should like to eat these sweet things."

Yan Chu was a sent-down youth in place of his stepbrother. In terms of money, the family did not treat him too badly. In fact, the biological mother would send some things over the mountain every now and then to express her original helplessness.

The original body was a person who could not endure hardships. Every time he went to the city, he had to buy some good things to improve his meals. He almost enjoyed these things alone and never thought of sharing them with others.

Yan Chu was a million times better than the original body in this regard. Besides, he was sick now and couldn't taste those things. It was better to make the little girl happy. If she was happy, it meant that he was one step closer to completing the task, so he would be happy too.

Lin Dingding felt so sweet in her heart. Although Yan Chu treated her differently from other girls in the village and those female educated youth in the past, he had never been so gentle to her as today. He also gave her fried dough twists and candies, which were so valuable. This made Lin Dingding, who was still a little apprehensive about the relationship between the two, feel at ease all of a sudden.

This was also Yan Chu's fault. Although he inherited the memory of his original body, his sense of substitution in this world was not strong enough. Naturally, he did not realize that fried dough twists and candies, which were the cheapest in his time, were so precious in this era of lack of snacks.

It was also his action that made Lin Dingding completely believe that the other party really liked her a little.

Lin Dingding was happy, but she still remembered her mother's teachings. She and Yan Chu had not yet established a relationship, so she couldn't accept such expensive things from others. She refused to leave immediately.

Yan Chu didn't think too much, thinking that the little girl was polite. He picked up the small package that the original body had placed next to the pillow, got up from the kang, pulled the little girl's hand, and put it directly on her hand.

He, he, he held her hand! ! !

Lin Dingding felt the slightly hot temperature and the soft touch when her palms touched her, and her heart beat so fast that it seemed to jump out of her throat.

There was no time to refuse. She turned around and ran away like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, holding the bag of snacks that Yan Chu had just stuffed into her hand.

Looking at the little girl who fled in panic, Yan Chu opened the task panel again without believing in evil. The completion rate of the main task has jumped from the original 8% to 30%, which is simply a qualitative leap.

It seems that the little girl's happiness has increased, so why did she run?

Yan Chu, who was still a virgin for thousands of years, said that he didn't understand the girls' thoughts, but since giving a bag of snacks to a little girl could make her so happy, he seemed to have found an idea to make her feel happy. As long as he made money in the future, he could buy her more delicious food, right?

Yan Chu thought uncertainly in his heart.

*****

"Dingding, where did you go just now, and what was in your hand?"

Huang Ruhua watched her daughter running over from the path of the Youth Courtyard, with a suspicious blush on her face, and immediately guessed what her stupid daughter had done, but she was too smart to point it out.

"No, nothing."

Lin Dingding looked at her mother standing outside her yard, and her heart panicked, and she subconsciously hid the things in her hand behind her back. But she changed her mind and thought that there was nothing shameful. The person opposite was her own mother, so what was there to hide from her?

"I just heard from the educated youth brother Lin that brother Yan was sick and he was the only one left in the educated youth courtyard, so I went to my second uncle to get him some medicine to reduce fever."

Lin Dingding looked at the yellow soil under her feet, bit her lip, and said shyly.

Almost everyone in the family knew that she liked Yan Chu, but neither her brothers nor her parents supported it. They felt that Yan Chu was a city boy and a high school student. Although she had also studied and went to junior high school, the two of them were not compatible in terms of family background or cultural level.

"It's not a good influence for you, a girl, to go to the educated youth courtyard alone. Let your brothers go to such things in the future."

Huang Ruhua couldn't bear to blame the child. She was also a little girl. Among the educated youth, Yan Chu had the best appearance. At her age, she had never seen a boy who looked so handsome. Little girls all like to be pretty, which is inevitable. But Huang Ruhua was not optimistic about her daughter's feelings for Yan Chu. Although her daughter always spoke well of the child in front of them, Huang Ruhua still felt that Yan Chu seemed to be hanging on to her daughter. In this relationship, he had never given his heart.

She didn't want her daughter to be hurt, so she could only try her best to keep the two of them apart.

"Oh--"

Lin Dingding thought about the intimate action of Brother Yan holding her hand just now, and felt her cheeks burning hot. Even if her mother didn't say it, she didn't dare to see Brother Yan again in a short time. She was shy.

Huang Ruhua was relieved by her daughter's words. Thinking of the things she had just hidden behind her, she quickly asked again: "What was that in your hand just now?"

"Nothing, it's just the fried dough twist that Brother Yan bought from the city and the candy that his mother sent him. Brother Yan asked me to take it home and share it."

The second half of the sentence was added by Lin Dingding herself, in order to help Yan Chu get the favor of his family.

"Mom, I put these things in your cupboard. The New Year is coming soon, and we can put out two pots of food." Lin Dingding stuck out her tongue and went around her mother and went into the house, avoiding her subsequent questioning.

"You little girl, how can you ask for such expensive things from others."

Huang Ruhua stamped her feet anxiously outside the yard. It is undeniable that because of this incident, she re-examined Yan Chu. He could be so generous to give away candies and fried dough twists. Maybe Yan Chu was not the kind of person she thought.
