Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 229 Childhood Sweetheart, Female Educated Youth 13

Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo went to the provincial capital.

Bai Chenggong ate alone, simply steaming two sweet potatoes for lunch.

Bai Chenggong took two sweet potatoes, slung his wood-chopping knife over his shoulder, and went up the mountain.

He needs to chop more firewood this month, because he might not have time to chop firewood when the autumn harvest comes next month.

The brigade leader said that during the autumn harvest, they didn't take a break at noon.

We need to prepare the grain as soon as possible and send it to the commune.

When it comes to matters of great importance like food, the brigade leader wouldn't be able to ask for leave whenever he wants, unless he's truly unable to move, he has to go to the fields.

Even school children are given autumn break to help with the autumn harvest.

While Bai Chenggong was chopping firewood, he saw red wild fruits on the mountain.

I picked a handful of wild fruits, intending to take them back for Jiang He to try.

He rarely gives Jiang He anything on his own initiative.

Jiang He will be very touched.

Besides, so much time has passed, Jiang He should have calmed down by now.

If he gives her a way out, Jiang He should be happy.

Bai Chenggong excitedly returned to the educated youth settlement, bringing wild fruit to find Jiang He.

Jiang He was washing dishes outside when Bai Chenggong ran over.

Jiang He continued doing her own thing, pretending not to see anyone.

"Jiang He, these are wild fruits I found on the mountain. They're red and look delicious. Here, have a taste."

Bai Chenggong handed the wild fruit to Jiang He.

Several bright red fruits came into Jiang He's view.

This is a hawthorn.

good to eat?

I don't know where it was picked from.

If it were delicious, would he even have the chance to pick it?

What is this?

Jiang He raised her head.

This was the first time Jiang He had spoken to him in so many days. Bai Chenggong looked at the fruit in his hand and realized it had indeed worked.

"Ah, I don't know what this is called either. I picked this wild fruit on the mountain."

Have you eaten yet?

"No, I was thinking of bringing it here for you to try first. You can have the first bite."

Bai Chenggong then handed the fruit to Jiang He.

Jiang He reached out and picked up a hawthorn.

A good thing was left on the hawthorn.

If you like sour flavors, then let Bai Chenggong have a good taste of this sourness; I guarantee he'll be thrilled.

"Brother Bai, I'm full and don't want to eat anymore. Why don't you have one first?"

Jiang He held up the hawthorns in front of Bai Chenggong.

Bai Chenggong felt he had successfully appeased Jiang He.

He took the hawthorn from Jiang He's hand and put it in his mouth.

Bai Chenggong took a bite and immediately felt terrible.

It's so sour, so sour it hits right in the head.

It's even more sour than vinegar.

Bai Chenggong couldn't control his facial expressions; they kept twitching.

He spat out the wild fruit from his mouth and threw away all the fruit in his arms.

I really want to do something, but I feel helpless and don't know what to do.

It hurts so much, it hurts so much.

"Brother Bai, what's wrong? Is the fruit not tasty?"

"What the hell is this stuff? Why is it so sour?"

Bai Chenggong's speech has become slurred.

"Sour? Brother Bai, didn't you just say this fruit was delicious, so you picked it specifically for me to try?"

You don't even know if this fruit is edible, yet you want me to eat it? You're deliberately trying to embarrass me, aren't you?

I never expected you to be this kind of person.

I initially thought you were genuinely here to apologize to me.

I'm still thinking of forgiving you.

I never expected you to go even further and deliberately play tricks on me.

You've gone too far.

Jiang He unleashed a torrent of words, then splashed the dishwater all over Bai Chenggong.

I packed my things and went back to my room.

Once back in her room, Jiang He's angry expression vanished.

Li Qing and Zhao Jia from next door came out after hearing the commotion outside. They saw Bai Chenggong standing in the yard, grinning and looking disheveled.

Vegetable leaves were still hanging on its body.

Some red fruits were scattered on the ground.

"Hey, isn't this a hawthorn?"

Li Qing got a clear look at the fruit on the ground.

"This stuff is really sour, you're not going to give it to Jiang He, are you?"

Bai Chenggong nodded.

Li Qing pulled Zhao Jia back into the house.

Then this is truly a case of reaping what you sow.

She gets angry if anyone feeds her this stuff.

Who are you insulting? This piece of junk.

No wonder Jiang He was angry; Bai Chenggong had never sincerely apologized.

Li Qing and Zhao Jia didn't interfere in their affairs; they were childhood sweethearts, neighbors who grew up together.

Although they're having a conflict now, they're not close to them and have no right to comment on their affairs.

Whether the two of them completely break up or reconcile, they will be meddling in each other's business.

Bai Chenggong looked at the hawthorns on the ground; his mouth was already numb from the sourness.

I can't feel my tongue, teeth, or lips at all.

This hawthorn is incredibly potent!

And because his mouth was kept wide open, he couldn't close it for a moment.

Bai Chenggong couldn't bother explaining to Jiang He that he didn't do it on purpose.

Of course, he can't explain himself now; he can't even speak.

Bai Chenggong poured a few mouthfuls of cold water into his mouth, trying to get rid of the sour taste.

However, the effect was not significant.

Bai Chenggong went to the kitchen and tried several more seasonings.

No, none of them really work.

It's totally useless.

I can't even taste it anymore.

Only the chili peppers will cause a slight burning sensation.

But even a little bit isn't enough.

Seeing the still-steaming hot water in the pot, Bai Chenggong decided to give it a try.

Getting scalded by hot water can be very painful.

Alternatively, you can scald it with hot water to relieve the soreness and numbness, which can help restore some sensation to your mouth.

Hot water was poured into my mouth.

I finally felt some pain in my mouth.

An open mouth can also be closed.

Then Bai Chenggong swallowed the mouthful of hot water.

Instantly, I felt a scalding pain throughout my throat and down to my stomach, like being burned by hot water.

Drinking a few mouthfuls of cold water only provided temporary relief and couldn't eliminate the pain.

However, the pain did offset some of the tingling and numbness.

My tongue is still a little numb, and my teeth feel sore and like they're about to fall out.

The lips are better; they can close now.

Bai Chenggong smelled of swill, so he quickly went to take a shower.

It's hot now, if I don't wash it, it will smell bad right away.

No, it's already dirty and smelly water; in a little while, people will spoil too.

It's hot, so I wash quickly; I just rinse it with cold water.

After taking a shower, it was time to go to work.

Bai Chenggong had no time to think about anything else. He casually threw his clothes at the doorway and hurried off to work.

When Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo returned, they found the educated youth settlement in a complete mess.

There was an unidentified puddle of water on the ground.

It has been dried by the sun, but its color is slightly different from other places.

There was a pile of hawthorns scattered around, and one hawthorn was broken.

Is someone desperate enough to eat hawthorn?

Hawthorns are so sour.

If you're going to eat something, you should eat candied hawthorn.

And after eating this, I feel hungry very easily.

There was also a sour smell in the air.

It seems like something is broken.

Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo quickly identified the clothes as belonging to the person at the door.

The clothes smelled foul.

What's Bai Chenggong doing? Why doesn't he wash such dirty clothes and just leave them by the door?

And the yard is never cleaned up; it's too dirty.

Gu Jianhua had just bought a new bicycle and was reluctant to let it get dirty.

Together with Wang Jianguo, they carried the bicycle into the house.

I made a trip to the provincial capital today, I'm so tired.

The two closed the door and went straight to bed.

As for the garbage outside, of course, whoever caused the mess should clean it up.
