Chapter 115 I Don't Want to Be a Scumbag Woman

At this point, work had just begun, and the scorekeeper was still in the warehouse taking inventory of the remaining farm tools. He would go to the fields later to inspect the work progress.

"Little Bai, the educated youth!" Zhou Jianwei, who had been waiting at the warehouse entrance, greeted Bai Nuo with a smile as she approached. "Is your hand feeling better? Why don't you rest for a few days before coming back to work?"

He only found out last night that after finishing work, the educated youth Xiaobai went to Dafeng Mountain to collect firewood and encountered the two pigs that the breeding team had lost, and was even injured in the process.

He had originally planned to go out and play a couple of games with Xu Baoqiang last night to secretly earn some pocket money, but he was worried about this all night, so he didn't go. He stayed at home and kept an eye on the news from the educated youth compound, just in case that this seemingly delicate young educated youth developed a fever at night because of her injury.

Bai Nuo saw that the weekly clerk's concern was genuine, but she didn't have any intention of getting closer to him because of it.

As the other person moved forward, Bai Nuo quickly took two steps back, maintaining a certain distance, and politely but distantly shook her head.

"Thank you, Zhou Ji. I'm all right now. I came here to find a saddle in the warehouse, but the captain said the key is with you."

She wasn't someone who didn't understand love between men and women. In her previous life, the two old ladies in her family were always worried about her romantic relationships when she grew up, and they were always serious and rigorous in educating her on this subject.

They are not afraid that their children will not date or get married, but they are afraid that their children will entrust themselves to the wrong person and suffer emotional pain. They also do not want their children to become irresponsible and heartless women.

The teachers, considering themselves old and living in this harsh post-apocalyptic world, knew they might close their eyes any day. This child was their only child, whom they had raised with the utmost care. Naturally, they wanted to make comprehensive preparations for her future, so that even if none of them were left, the child could still live well on her own.

Bai Nuo remembers everything her teachers taught her, including things about relationships.

The teachers said that although the apocalypse is ruthless, as human beings, there are some bottom lines that cannot be abandoned. People must be real people, otherwise what is the difference between them and the zombies outside?

After Bai Nuo turned ten, lessons learned about romantic relationships were written into the teaching records early on.

Therefore, even though Bai Nuo has never been in a relationship or liked anyone, it doesn't prevent her from having solid academic knowledge.

Judging from the scorekeeper's attitude and the enthusiasm she showed every time she was seen, it was clearly not the kind of attitude a scorekeeper should have towards the team members.

Although the teachers never asked her not to be a "bad girl," Bai Nuo didn't want to be.

She had witnessed the teachers' unwavering loyalty in their relationships, heard so many stories of her maternal grandparents relying on each other for life on the battlefield, and heard stories from her maternal grandmother about her aunt and great-uncle.

So many examples around her told her that in order to live a good life with less trouble and fewer arguments, one must be responsible for relationships and be loyal and devoted.

For any romantic relationship that has no future, whether good or bad, you must stay away from it and never leave the other person with even the slightest hope. Otherwise, what if she falls for someone narrow-minded and keeps bringing up old grievances? You can't just kill her and find someone else.

Such a thing is quite possible, for example... her maternal grandfather! She felt that her maternal grandmother had wanted to kill her maternal grandfather several times, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to do it, and only made her maternal grandfather squat in the yard to reflect on his actions.

Although her grandmother always won, she always found it troublesome, so it was better to cut it off at the source.

After all, what if she ends up with a petty man like her grandfather? Even the fact that her grandmother used to hold hands with the neighbor's little boy when she was a child to buy candy has been brought up by her grandfather several times!

Bai Nuo felt... she didn't understand, but she respected it!

Thinking of this, Bai Nuo took two steps back again, keeping a safe distance from Zhou Jianwei, and then stretched out her hand: "Please just throw the key to me, I'll go find the saddle myself."

Zhou Jianwei was bewildered by Bai Nuo's two retreats. He looked at her with confusion, anxiety, and disappointment, but there were still several people responsible for repairing farm tools in the warehouse behind her, so he couldn't chase after her to ask for clarification. He could only nod.

"Okay, if you need any help, be sure to call me. You can't lift anything with your hand injured. Don't be shy, the captain already told me when he came over."

Bai Nuo smiled politely: "Thank you, but it's no problem for me. I'll bring you the key in a bit."

Bai Nuo took the key, turned around, and walked towards the warehouse next door.

Zhou Jianwei stood there, feeling uneasy and conflicted, his brows furrowed. Yesterday, this young educated youth had been quite normal to him, so why had he suddenly become so indifferent?

Although he would still politely smile and thank him, Zhou Jianwei just felt something was wrong; he felt particularly uneasy.

"Hey, what are you looking at, Xiao Zhou?"

A middle-aged man with dark skin, wearing a T-shirt, walked out of the farm tool warehouse behind him. Following Zhou Jianwei's gaze, he saw a petite figure walk into the warehouse next to him.

"No, it's nothing." Zhou Jianwei quickly looked away, forcing a stiff smile. "Uncle Quan, are those tools inside fixed? Are they still usable?"

"We should be able to do another spring planting without any problem. Tie Tou is fine, it's just that the wooden poles are a bit old. I'll go ask the brigade leader for a piece of wood to make two poles."

Zhang Quan is the village carpenter. He is responsible for replacing most of the farm tools that break down in the production team. He came out with a few wooden poles with rotten tops, smiling at Zhou Jianwei with a hint of friendliness in his eyes.

"Xiao Zhou, I heard your mom's been trying to find you a partner lately. How's it going? Have you found anyone you like?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianwei subconsciously turned his head to look at the warehouse door next to him. Seeing that there was nothing inside, he smiled wryly, whether out of disappointment or something else.

"Uncle Zhang, don't joke around. I just graduated from high school not long ago. I have an older brother. Why should I be in a hurry? No rush, no rush."

"Hey, why aren't you in a hurry? When I was your age, your aunt was already about to give birth."

"Hehe! I, I'm not in a hurry, not in a hurry." Zhou Jianwei raised his hand, scratched his head, and laughed awkwardly.

He wasn't usually a talkative person in the brigade, and now he didn't know what to say.

Actually, he knew that Uncle Quan planned to have his daughter meet him, but... he really didn't like the Zhang family's little girl. However, his mother seemed to like her quite a bit. He didn't dare to tell his mother that he had taken a liking to the young educated youth, Bai, and only dared to secretly chat with her when no one else was around.

Unfortunately, even Bai Zhiqing seems unwilling to talk to him now, and I don't know why!
