There Seems to Be a Man Following Her

Zhou Chenglei was a man of few words, disliking idle chatter. Now, driving the tractor, he had to pay attention to the road and check if Jiang Xia was uncomfortable.

Having someone "chirp chirp chirp" endlessly in his ear with pointless drivel was simply annoying.

That's why he couldn't help but say, "You're so noisy!"

He felt she was noisier than the tractor! Wen Wan's face flushed crimson with unprecedented embarrassment.

The world fell silent! They finally arrived at the town's market. Zhou Chenglei found a place to park the tractor and quickly got off to help Wen Wan unload the iron cart and mutton.

His speed made Jiang Xia chuckle inwardly. She had sensed Zhou Chenglei's impatience long ago, but the female lead seemed oblivious, chattering away like a magpie.

Wen Wan's face was still red, and she said with a slightly awkward smile, "Thank you, Brother Zhou, Sister Jiang Xia."

She couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia, feeling like she was being laughed at.

Zhou Chenglei nodded coldly, not wanting to say a single word.

He looked at Jiang Xia, patiently waiting for her to "arm" herself.

Jiang Xia ignored everyone. As the sun rose, she put on her straw hat and sleeves, trying to avoid exposing an inch of her skin to the sunlight.

Today, Jiang Xia had her hair in two braids, wearing a white dacron floral ready-made dress, paired with green military pants, Liberation Shoes, and a straw hat. Her skin was like snow, and despite the rustic attire, she managed to pull off a stylish look, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

People passing by at the market couldn't help but glance at her.

Wen Wan was also beautiful, a gentle and radiant beauty.

But Jiang Xia was tall, with a good figure and a great temperament, exuding an aura with every move. Standing there, she was like a rising sun over the summer river, dazzling and eye-catching.

Next to Jiang Xia, Wen Wan was like the moon that hadn't left work after the sun had risen.

Her beauty paled in comparison.

Wen Wan looked at Jiang Xia's appearance and felt displeased: Too pretentious!

If you're afraid of the sun, don't go out.

How could a rural person going to the market be like this? Zhou Chenglei must disapprove, right? Wen Wan glanced at Zhou Chenglei and saw him staring at Jiang Xia without blinking.

Wen Wan: "..."

She looked down at her white dress, which was stained with a bit of sheep blood, and her face flushed. She quickly pushed the iron cart away.

"Let's go!" After fully arming herself, Jiang Xia picked up a yellow-green plastic woven handbag and walked towards the market.

The market was on a main street, and the first section was mostly selling chickens, geese, ducks, rabbits, and other domestic fowl. Since they had chickens and ducks at home, there was no need to buy any.

Jiang Xia saw some goslings for sale, fluffy and cute.

"Want to raise geese?" Zhou Chenglei, standing beside her, blocked the passing pedestrians and asked.

Jiang Xia nodded, then shook her head: "I want to eat goose meat. Let's not buy them yet, let's go!"

Jiang Xia continued to walk forward, and Zhou Chenglei didn't say anything, quickly following.

Feathers flew everywhere on this section of the road, and the two walked a little faster.

Zhou Chenglei led Jiang Xia to the area selling handicrafts.

Jiang Xia saw many bamboo woven baskets, dustpans, and other items. Only one shop had bamboo beds, bamboo chairs, rattan chairs, and other furniture for sale. Not far away, there were also wooden furniture sellers, all with simple styles, without any patterns or other decorative crafts.

Jiang Xia touched a bamboo bed, her eyes filled with appreciation:

"This bamboo bed is really beautiful! This bamboo bed can be bought and placed in the yard. When the time comes, we can build a grape trellis and put it underneath. It should be cool to sleep under the grape trellis in the summer with a mosquito net."

Zhou Chenglei: "Uncle, how much does this bamboo bed cost?"

The uncle quoted a price and added, "No bargaining!"

Zhou Chenglei: "I'll take it."

Jiang Xia looked at the bamboo chairs: "How about buying a few bamboo chairs? Sitting on a long bench during meals feels like sitting on a seesaw. I'm always worried that if someone suddenly gets up, the bench will flip over."

Zhou Chenglei said to the owner again, "I also want six bamboo chairs."

Jiang Xia: "This recliner looks very comfortable! How about buying two more recliners? We can move them out to the yard at night, lie on them, enjoy the breeze, and look at the stars. How comfortable!"

The boss said, "This is a rattan chair, it's quite expensive, but much more comfortable than a bamboo lounger."

Zhou Chenglei looked at the lounger, thinking about the last time he helped her wash her hair, and she said that lying down to wash it wouldn't get in her eyes or wet her clothes.

"I want two."

The boss happily said, "Alright! See if there's anything else you need, I have a lot of things here. Do you need a dustpan or winnowing fan?"

In the end, Zhou Chenglei bought a bamboo bed, six bamboo chairs, two loungers, a bamboo woven vegetable basket with a lid, two needlework baskets, several round dustpans, winnowing fans, and rice washing baskets of different sizes with holes, a fish basket, a bamboo hat, and so on.

Zhou Chenglei bought everything Jiang Xia picked up and looked at.

The couple bought most of the items from the stall.

The uncle selling the goods smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said he would help them move the things to the tractor.

Zhou Chenglei paid the money and said he would come back to pick up the goods after buying everything.

The couple continued to walk forward. Jiang Xia saw a wood shop with a solid wood sofa and a coffee table, which looked simple and sturdy.

Jiang Xia said, "That looks quite practical. It can be placed in the living room, and it will be comfortable to sit on with some cushions and pillows. And that coffee table, the set looks pretty good, it should look nice in our old house."

Zhou Chenglei then took Jiang Xia across to the wood shop and bought a solid wood sofa, a wooden coffee table, and a desk for Zhou Zhou.

The boss enthusiastically offered to help them move the things to the tractor.

Zhou Chenglei went to a nearby grocery store and bought a large iron pot and a coal stove, and then helped move the furniture onto the tractor.

Jiang Xia wanted to see what else was for sale, so she walked around the market by herself.

Then Jiang Xia bought three pounds of fresh water chestnut, two pounds of myrtle berries, three pineapples, and four cantaloupes at the market, and then bought half a row of ribs at the pork stall.

Wen Wan saw Jiang Xia buying things at the market as if money was no object, buying whatever she liked, as if she didn't have to consider the cost.

And she could only stand there shouting and selling mutton, Wen Wan's eyes darkened.

After Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei divorce, if she marries Zhou Chenglei, will she live such a life?

Jiang Xia walked forward to see what else was for sale at the market when suddenly her arm was pulled from behind, "Xiao Xia."

*Zhou Chenglei moved everything to the tractor and tied it up, then turned back to look for Jiang Xia.

Wen Wan saw Zhou Chenglei looking around, so she called out, "Brother Zhou, are you looking for Sister Jiang Xia?"

Zhou Chenglei looked at her when he heard this, "Have you seen her?"

Wen Wan pointed ahead and said, "I saw Sister Jiang Xia went ahead to buy things, and a man seemed to be following her, but there are so many people in the market, I'm not sure if he was following Sister Jiang Xia, he just looked at Sister Jiang Xia a few more times, which is normal, Sister Jiang Xia is so beautiful."

Zhou Chenglei heard this and strode forward.

Wen Wan bit her lower lip, she seemed to have said the wrong thing, she shouldn't have said the last two sentences, it seemed like she was stirring up trouble.

But she was also afraid that something would happen to Jiang Xia.

Just now Wu Qizhi came to buy mutton and flirted with her.

That's Jiang Xia's man, why is he flirting with her? She couldn't help but say, "Aren't you afraid that Sister Jiang Xia will see you like this?"

Then she looked at Jiang Xia not far away, and Wu Qizhi followed her line of sight and saw Jiang Xia.

He chased after her.

Wen Wan can't see Jiang Xia's figure now, there are too many people, she is also uneasy and worried about Jiang Xia, that's why she told Zhou Chenglei.
