Chapter 46: Encountering gossip and being forced to eat melons

After the troublemakers left, the entire wheat warehouse became quiet and everyone worked diligently.

The people in this warehouse were all serious about their work and worked efficiently. In a short while, they took out all the wheat grains in the three wheat warehouses and dried them.

The first team that had been harvesting wheat on the slope had returned, carrying the freshly harvested wheat. They had already pulled the straw bales to the threshing ground, which was a separate open area next to where they were drying the wheat grains.

Ning Xiyue went to the threshing ground and carefully observed how others dried the wheat, and then followed suit.

In fact, it is very simple. Just spread out the bundles of wheat straw you have brought back and spread them flat on the ground. Make sure to spread them evenly to ensure that every straw can be exposed to the sun.

Ning Xiyue worked with the aunts. After spreading the wheat straw, she started to dry the rice.

The early batch of rice has matured, so the rice in the team is already in the harvesting stage.

The drying yard has become correspondingly busier.

Ning Xiyue didn't even have a sip of water for the whole morning, but she never stopped walking. She was a brick of socialism, and could be moved wherever she was needed.

As it approaches noon, the members who had been working are leaving work one after another, but this is the busiest time for their drying group and also the busiest time in the drying yard.

The members came over with the grain they had harvested the morning on ox carts, flatbed carts, wheelbarrows or on their own shoulders.

Seeing these grains, Ning Xiyue continued to spread out the wheat straw to dry. A lot of wheat was harvested today.

While drying wheat straw in the threshing ground, Ning Xiyue also met people from the Youth League's Home.

Wu Guifang came over carrying four bundles of wheat straw, "Xiyue, help me take it."

"Okay, take your time and I'll help you." Ning Xiyue hurriedly stepped forward, took one side of the carrying pole with both hands, and helped unload the straw bundles.

Ning Xiyue and Wu Guifang together spread the four bundles evenly on the ground.

Wu Guifang lowered her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the towel around her neck. As she walked, she said, "Thank you, Ha Xiyue. I'll go back and cook. You go ahead and do your work."

"Okay, you go back. I'll be back soon." Ning Xiyue waved her hand and wiped the sweat off her face.

The midday sun was getting hotter and hotter, and Ning Xiyue had already wet two towels after being busy this morning.

She was very thankful that there were several towels that had been signed in by the system, and they all looked like they had been purchased in wholesale, all uniform white towels without any patterns.

Aunt Yang Liu fanned herself with her straw hat while calling out to Ning Xiyue, "Xiyue, you can go home from work first. Just register with your uncle Anguo and you can leave."

"Yes, auntie."

Ning Xiyue carried her water bottle and wore a straw hat and went to register before returning to the educated youth point.

Chen Yechu was the one cooking today, so Ning Xiyue didn't need to rush and walked slowly towards the educated youth point.

On the way back, Ning Xiyue found a man and a woman arguing about something at the turning point not far in front of her. They were very excited and were standing in the direction where she was about to go.

Ning Xiyue, who was a little tired due to working hard all morning, suddenly became energetic, with gossipy light in her eyes. She walked faster, wanting to get there as soon as possible to see what the gossip was.

I don’t know if the two of them were too engrossed or what, but Ning Xiyue was almost approaching but no one noticed her coming.

In order to avoid embarrassment for both of them, Ning Xiyue stopped on the other side of the corner. In fact, she wanted to listen to some gossip. Although eavesdropping was not good, she was not eavesdropping. She was standing there listening openly.

Ning Xiyue heard the girl yelling fiercely and trying to pull the boy:

"Li Jiandang, did you hear me? You are not allowed to help Ning Xiaoxiao with her work, you are not allowed to like her, and you are not allowed to help the new female educated youth named Chen. I like you."

Ning Xiyue who was eating melons secretly: Wow, it actually involves two people in the story, Ning Xiaoxiao and Chen Yechu. It must be a big melon.

The male comrade named Li Jiandang took a few steps back in annoyance, not letting her succeed, and said in annoyance:

"Wu Xiuli, can you please stop bothering me? I've told you several times, don't bother me, I don't like you, and our two families don't have a good relationship, so don't bother me, who I like is none of your business, I'm leaving, don't come to me in the future."

Ning Xiyue was listening with great interest, but then she heard the boy say he was leaving, and the direction he was going seemed to be the direction she was in.

God, don’t let it be awkward if we meet face to face.

Ning Xiyue quickly looked at her surroundings, and when she saw a haystack not far away, she hurriedly ran towards it and almost tripped over a stone on the way.

Finally, before being discovered, he squatted behind the haystack, huddled in with his back to the outside, and stuck his head out to look at the situation outside.

In a flash, Ning Xiyue felt that she had bumped into something behind the haystack. Just as she was about to turn around to check, she heard a very small cry, so small that it was almost silent, "Ouch, my butt."

Then Ning Xiyue turned her head and met the eyes of a strange girl.

At this time, the male comrade also walked near the haystack. Ning Xiyue and the female comrade covered each other's mouths at the same time to prevent the other party from making any noise and being discovered.

The two reacted in sync, holding their breath together and observing the situation outside the haystack nervously.

The man walked straight past the haystack without noticing anything unusual, let alone that there were two people eavesdropping and watching there.

The other protagonist, the female comrade, did not notice them either. She stamped her feet, walked forward a few steps angrily, and then turned and walked in another direction.

After the two protagonists of the story left, Ning Xiyue and the female comrades around her let out a deep breath at the same time, sat on the ground, and looked at each other.
