Gu Chong heard the sound, stopped what he was doing, and looked over.

First, I saw Zhou Jianguo, and then the fair-skinned little girl behind him, peeking out this way.

Xue Fu was too easy to recognize. Gu Chong paused for a moment, then looked away, slightly embarrassed, but no one could tell that he was shy.

Gu Chong is tall, and years of working in the fields have given him a very toned physique. He is not overly muscular, but he exudes a strong sense of power.

Few people in the village have fair skin; they're all tanned dark from working in the fields, and Gu Chong is no exception.

Xue Fu frowned when she saw Gu Chongxian, then put down the hoe, wiped her sweat with the towel around her neck, and walked over.

"Xue Fu, come here too!" Zhou Jianguo waved to her, and Xue Fu walked over, just in time to face Gu Chong.

Xue Fu subconsciously smiled at Gu Chong, showing friendliness.

She was very happy to spend time with Gu Chong!

Gu Chong caught a glimpse of her smile and lowered his eyes.

He felt uncomfortable.

But seeing Xue Fu smile made him feel much better.

Zhou Jianguo came over and explained the situation to Gu Chong.

The fish fry in the village were brought back from the county by Gu Chong two months ago.

When he went to buy fish fry, the master from the county taught him a lot about feeding fish, which Gu Chong then passed on to the villagers.

Therefore, Zhou Jianguo also arranged for Gu Chong to teach Xue Fu.

Zhou Jianguo said, "Gu Chong, you can mentor Comrade Xue Fu these next few days. She's never done this before, and the fish fry in this team can't be harmed easily, so you must teach her well."

"I won't let you teach for nothing; it'll count as work points."

Gu Chong glanced at Xue Fu's serious expression and nodded, "Mm."

"Then I'll entrust Comrade Xue Fu to you. Thank you for your hard work." Zhou Jianguo smiled and patted Gu Chong on the shoulder, thinking that Gu Chong was really a good young man in the village, just a bit cold-hearted.

Zhou Jianguo was very pleased.

After explaining the situation, Zhou Jianguo left because he had other things to do, leaving behind Xue Fu with starry eyes and Gu Chong with a stern face.

Xue Fu smiled and narrowed her fox-like eyes, then struck up a conversation with him: "You can even raise fish, Gu Chong?"

She said sweetly, "You're amazing."

Gu Chong's brows relaxed slightly, and he hummed in agreement, though his throat felt a little itchy.

He glanced at the land beside him; he had a little bit left, and the land would be completely cleared.

Seeing that she had obediently worn a hat today, he turned around, pointed to the shade of the trees, and said to her, "Wait for me here for a while."

Xue Fu: "Hmm?"

Gu Chong raised his hand and gestured towards the wasteland: "Wait until I finish hoeing that land."

Xue Fu wasn't in a hurry, so she obediently nodded and waited for him under the shade of the tree.

Gu Chong went into the field, but glanced back at Xue Fu once.

She wore a light pink shirt today, looking very fresh and delicate, like a newly blossoming lotus bud in a pond, tender and pinkish-white.

This color suits her well and makes her look even more docile.

Gu Chong couldn't help but think of his wet pants from that morning.

He took a deep breath, banishing all the beautiful images from his dream.

Suppressing all his obscure thoughts, Gu Chong's expression became even more stern.

Xue Fu stood under the tree and watched as Gu Chong started digging again.

With nothing to do, she kept her gaze fixed on him as he worked.

Xue Fu discovered that Gu Chong's movements were actually quite aesthetically pleasing upon closer inspection.

It wasn't rude, but rather a rhythmic rise and fall, conveying a strong sense of power.

He seemed to find the sleeves troublesome, so he rolled them up, revealing his bulging arms.

His arms have full, beautiful muscle lines.

Xue Fu thought his physique was actually quite model-like. He had a very good muscular build.

Xue Fu's mind wandered as she watched, and then she noticed that Gu Chong had stopped moving at some point.

She slightly raised her eyes and saw Gu Chongzheng looking at her with a frown.

Xue Fu pursed her lips.

She realized that her intense gaze had bothered him. Had he noticed her somewhat blatant and presumptuous look?

She returned his smile with an apologetic, polite one.

Please let me go.

Gu Chong was quick; Xue Fu didn't have to wait long before he came over with a hoe.

When he came to her side, Xue Fu felt a warmth he brought with him.

The sun was shining brightly again today. Xue Fu looked at his face, which was red from the sun, and felt a little guilty when she remembered that his hat was with her.

He wiped his sweat, noticed the change in her expression, and frowned.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Who upset her?

But they were the only two people around.

Gu Chong glanced around at the ground.

More bugs?

Xue Fu shook her head and took off the hat hanging around her neck, returning it to him.

Here, take your hat back.

She said, "Does anyone in the village know how to make hats? I can just trade one of the others for one."

Gu Chong didn't take it, and told her to wear it herself.

He stared at her fair skin, a feeling of irritation rising in his heart.

She'll definitely get sunburned if she doesn't wear a hat.

She'll definitely cry.

That's even more troublesome.

He explained, "There are other hats at home, you can wear them."

Xue Fu's fox-like eyes were watery: "You're so kind."

Gu Chong turned his face away uncomfortably, his earlobes slightly red.

She's shameless.

Why do you like praising people so much?

The fishpond is on the west side.

The fishpond isn't very big; it was dug out of the paddy fields a couple of years ago.

Gu Chong led Xue Fu that way, and along the way Xue Fu asked him about raising and feeding fish.

Gu Chong doesn't talk much, but he explains professional knowledge in great detail.

"Pay attention to the weather and water temperature. When it gets cold, feed the fish less. In hot weather or early spring, the fish grow quickly, so you need to feed them more."

Gu Chong tried his best to explain it to her in simple terms.

"Besides feeding the fish, there are also some grass carp in the pond, and people from the village will bring them fodder."

"The fry have been separated into different areas in the pond, and we need to pay close attention to the small fry."

"Try to feed the fish at fixed times, pay attention to the time intervals, and don't mess up the frequency."

"......"

Xue Fu listened attentively, nodding like a chick pecking at rice. Raising fish was much more complicated than she had imagined.

Suddenly she felt a heavy burden and was worried. Could she really feed the baby well?

Her expressions were very obvious; in other words, Xue Fu was a person whose emotions were readily apparent.

Her current lack of confidence and low spirits made Gu Chong slow down his voice. He thought for a moment and said, "I have some notes. I...I'll get them for you tomorrow."

Xue Fu immediately raised her face: "!"

move.

"Gu Chong, you're so kind!"

Gu Chong thought that he had been blinded and infatuated by her repeated "You're so good".

Gu Chong sighed inwardly; she seemed quite obedient.

A fluffy braid peeked out from under the straw hat, swaying on her shoulders as she walked. Gu Chong caught a glimpse of it a few times out of the corner of his eye, and his palms inexplicably felt itchy.
