To be honest, if someone hadn't suddenly brought up this question, Li Aihua wouldn't have realized that she had never paid attention to Xie Zhuo's appearance.

Although they interacted every day, Xie Zhuo's impression of her was that he wore a gray patched-up coat, was very tall, had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and never suffered a loss.

To describe his face.

She hadn't really looked at it carefully.

Many people around heard what the woman said, and after hearing it, they subconsciously turned to look at Xie Zhuo at the very end of the crowd.

Although the person at the center of the conversation deliberately pulled his hat brim down low, you could still see his chin, thin lips, and high nose bridge.

To be honest, it is indeed a bit different from before...

They couldn't compare, because they had never paid any attention to what Xie Zhuo actually looked like before.

This feeling is strange.

I've had quite a few interactions with him; in fact, for my older auntie, she's practically watched him grow up.

But I've never paid much attention to his appearance.

More and more people craned their necks to look back, and Liu Mancang, thinking something was happening behind them, also craned his neck to look back.

In the end, we didn't see anything.

What are they looking at?

Zhao Jisheng was also a little curious, so he looked behind him a few times and then discovered that everyone was staring at his third brother.

"Hurry up and get going," Song Guangming glanced at Xie Zhuo several times, but thinking of the workload this morning, he raised his hand and tapped the broken porcelain basin a few more times. "If you don't finish today's work, you'll have your work points deducted!"

As soon as he said that, no one looked at Xie Zhuo anymore, and they all quickened their pace and rushed to the fields.

"Hey, you know what I mean."

Liu Mancang was standing next to Xie Zhuo and overheard someone say that Xie Zhuo seemed to have become more handsome, so he turned his head to look at Xie Zhuo's face.

“He is indeed quite handsome,” Liu Mancang said.

Xie Zhuo gave him a cold and indifferent glance.

He simply thought Liu Mancang was joking with him. He even glanced at the mirror while washing up in the morning, and it looked no different from usual.

If I had to point out anything different, it would probably be that my beard was definitely shaved quite clean today.

While they were rushing to the fields, Han Xiaoyu and the others at the educated youth settlement also got up early, quickly wiped their faces, and headed into the mountains.

After searching for several days without finding wild ginseng, Han Xiaoyu finally decided to tell the other educated youth at the settlement about it.

Since they stopped going to work, the educated youth slept until noon every day. After getting up, they would play cards or go to the toilet and then go back to sleep.

When it's time to eat, go to the kitchen to find something to eat, and after eating, lie back down on the kang (heated brick bed).

When Han Xiaoyu said there were wild ginseng in the mountains, no one really believed him.

"Are you really not going?" Han Xiaoyu stood in the dormitory looking at them.

“Brother Han, if there really is that wild ginseng you mentioned in the mountains, why don’t the people from Qingshan Brigade go and dig it up, and wait for us to go and dig it up?” Wu Shi said. “I’ve never heard of wild ginseng before.”

“You still don’t believe in my dream,” Han Xiaoyu said.

“It’s not that I don’t believe it,” said the short, bespectacled educated youth, “it’s just too absurd. Can you really become rich just by dreaming about it?”

Han Xiaoyu remained silent for a long time.

Then, as if remembering something, he curled the corners of his lips into a smile, "If I told you that in my dream, there was a wild raspberry tree in the mountains that no one had ever discovered, would you believe me?"

This piqued the interest of the educated youth.

Since Xu Yan took the things and the money her family had sent, they haven't had a decent meal in a long time.

Every day it's either cornmeal porridge that's completely empty or unpalatable dried sweet potatoes.

My mouth is so bland it's practically tasteless.

Everyone was tempted by the prospect of eating wild raspberries.

But even though I was tempted, I was still a little worried.

“Didn’t someone break their arm a couple of days ago?” Wu Shi said with some concern.

Speaking of this matter, Han Xiaoyu was also a little confused. He remembered that in his previous life, someone did seem to have their arm broken, but by then he had already left the Qingshan Brigade to study in City B.

But he comforted himself inwardly.

Perhaps someone else was also taken over at this time in a previous life, but he was busy doing other things and didn't notice.

It's also possible that it's been so long that he himself has forgotten some of it.

Now, none of that matters.

His immediate priority is to find wild ginseng. Only by finding wild ginseng can he proceed to his next step.

In addition, Sun Jiarou's side is also starting to feel the strain.

Her parents suddenly found her a boyfriend from the city, already received the betrothal gifts, and said they would get married no later than next month.

This incident really made Han Xiaoyu feel very uncomfortable.

Although he had thought about whether he should continue to marry Sun Jiarou in this lifetime, and considered that her family could not help him much now, it seemed that marrying Ye Wei was not as good as marrying her, after all, Ye Wei's family was much better off than hers.

Unexpectedly, just yesterday, Xu Yan had gotten on Xie Zhuo's bicycle and left when she ran to the educated youth settlement crying.

They said her parents were going to sell her.

Upon hearing this, Han Xiaoyu's expression changed immediately, and he then went to the Sun family with Sun Jiarou.

Sun Guoan, the brigade secretary, has been dismissed. Chen Guizhen did not steal the grain herself; it was her brother who did it. So her brother was taken to the farm for reform through labor, but she was not arrested.

According to Sun Jiarou, her mother insisted that she knew nothing about it.

But the higher-ups didn't let them off so easily. They not only deducted some of their work points, but also ordered them to pay 100 yuan to the production brigade as compensation.
