Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271: I’m not angry, I didn’t expect you to be so popular

Actually, Qiao Shaoguo had wanted to say, "You finally wised up, kid," but fearing Yunyi might misunderstand, he held his tongue.

Huo Jingrui knew Qiao Shaoguo was quite busy, so he didn’t stay long. After briefly updating him on the people taken from the mountain, he left with Yunyi.

By the time they reached the small plaza, it was already filled with educated youths. Not far away, on a platform, someone was delivering an impassioned speech at a mobilization meeting.

Once the meeting adjourned, everyone rushed to the registration area.

Huo Jingrui silently rejoiced. Fortunately, the young lady possessed medical skills; otherwise, she might have become one of these fervent youths.

As they walked on, someone called out, "Uncle Huo, is that really you?"

Huo Jingrui turned and saw it was Zheng Xuewen. "What are you doing here?"

Zheng Xuewen pointed to a few machines nearby. "Now that the Agricultural Reclamation Group has electricity, we’re planning to set up a mill. This will save a lot of manpower for hulling rice and grinding flour.

"I learned about electrical circuits with my uncle in Beijing for a while, so the Group asked me to come lend a hand and wire the mill."

At this, Zheng Xuewen sensed something. "You two?"

Huo Jingrui wished everyone knew about his relationship with Yunyi, so he didn’t hide it. "I’m here to see my sweetheart."

He looked at Yunyi with doting affection. "In the future, please help me take good care of her, all of you."

Zheng Xuewen is much more dependable than that boy Qiao Wenyu, Huo Jingrui thought. Even if this young lady is capable, I can’t always be by her side to protect her, so naturally, I’m still very uneasy.

Although Zheng Xuewen wasn’t as shocked as Qiao Wenyu, he truly hadn’t expected it. "You two are actually seeing each other?"

Once he processed it, he said, "No problem."

Remembering something, he added a reminder, "A while ago, I received a letter from home. I heard that Sister Huixin from the Pan Family has been transferred to the Military District Hospital."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Jingrui’s first reaction was to look at Yunyi beside him.

Yunyi, being who she was, understood instantly. Although she knew it was just a classic case of a woman pursuing a man, she still felt a bit uncomfortable.
