Chapter 41: Guaguaguaguagua! My grandma is hoping to piss off the neighbor to death...

After the farce, the yard became quiet.

Xiang Yao also lay on the bed amid the chirping of autumn insects, but he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

When she was finally bitten by a mosquito that had lurked in out of nowhere, she could no longer lie down.

He sat up suddenly, lit the kerosene lamp, and fought the mosquitoes with all his might.

When the culprit was finally brought to justice, she held his body and went to the yard to wash her hands.

The well water was ice-cold. After washing my hands, all sleepiness disappeared.

Looking up, I saw the sky dotted with stars and a nearly full moon hanging high among them, cool and charming.

Perhaps nights like this always bring back memories. Xiang Yao raised his head and thought about the days before he came here.

She blinked, suppressed the heat in her eyes, walked out of the yard, and walked slowly on the country road.

In later times, this time is still very early, far from the bedtime for night owls, but she rarely looks up at the sky.

With this time, she would rather finish more papers and eat more big gossips on the Internet!

Therefore, only at certain times and in certain moods can people be interested in appreciating the beauty of the night sky.

Xiang Yao originally wanted to enjoy the breeze quietly on such a beautiful night, but in this extreme tranquility, she suddenly felt that a place in the melon field in her mind suddenly lit up.

Um?

What's new here?

She had never noticed before that there was such a strange thing in the melon field!

He immediately stopped walking and stared at the melon field, but he couldn't see clearly.

"Why!"

Xiang Yao sighed silently, and had to spend the access time to concentrate his energy to let his consciousness enter the melon field.

Walking through the lush peanut field and towards the glowing side, Xiang Yao discovered that the glowing place was an open space.

This area was bare because there was nothing planted there, and it was not too close to the entrance, so Xiang Yao had never paid attention to it.

Now she came over, took a closer look, and was shocked on the spot.

Oh my god!

What kind of high-tech is this?!

I saw a line of large characters across the glowing area:

[The Melon Field system is about to be upgraded. Does the host agree? 】

【whether】

Hmm? Xiang Yao's eyes widened. He didn't expect that such a large piece of agricultural land could be upgraded?

She hesitated for a moment, wanting to know what the melon field would look like after the upgrade, but also a little afraid that something bad would happen to it after she clicked the upgrade.

What if it doesn't work? What if it disappears? This is too much for her to bear!

However, Xiang Yao only thought about it for less than ten seconds before he decisively stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the "Yes" option.

[Ding! The Guatian system is about to be upgraded! Please note that the host cannot access the system during the upgrade, but the system is still running and will not affect the host's collection of gossip data. Please be aware.]

As Xiang Yao finished reading this long sentence, his consciousness was popped out.

She was stunned for a moment, and when she focused her attention again, she could no longer see the melon field. Only a large line of words, "The melon field system is being upgraded...", floated in her mind.

When Xiang Yao saw this line of words, she suddenly remembered that she had to hurry up to harvest the fruits and vegetables! She had an appointment with Nie Baichuan to deliver the goods!

She was also thinking about making some money before the Mid-Autumn Festival, as these days are the best days for sales.

When visiting friends and relatives, don't people always buy fashionable gifts? Seeing her juicy fruits, who could resist buying some?

In addition to supplying goods to Nie Baichuan, she also planned to sell some herself, but she didn't go to the county town because it was too dangerous. She decided to go to the commune to have a look.

But now, she can't even enter the melon field, let alone go to the commune. Even if she promised Nie Baichuan, there is nothing she can do!

Xiang Yao began to regret why she hadn't thought about it carefully before making the decision. At the very least, she had to get the fruits and vegetables out of the melon field first!

Regret, I regret it very much!

I regret it so much that I want to stamp my feet on the spot!

Xiang Yao pouted and decided not to take a walk. What was the point of taking a walk? She might as well climb up a straw pile, sit higher, enjoy the cool breeze, and reflect on herself.

She found a straw stack she liked near her home and climbed up in one go. As the view widened, she felt a little better.

But within a few minutes, Xiang Yao couldn't help but sigh secretly towards the sky -

She didn't want to eat the melon, but the melon insisted on coming to her door!

After all, the source of everything was that mosquito.

If she hadn't been bitten by a mosquito, she wouldn't have gotten up to swat it. If she hadn't gotten up to swat it, she wouldn't have gone out for a walk in the middle of the night for no reason.

If she hadn't gone out for a walk, she wouldn't have seen this young man and woman snuggling up to each other under another straw stack not far away...

Alas, she is worthy of being a woman bound to the melon field system.

"Brother Youzhi, have your parents replied? What exactly do they think..." The girl's soft and light voice came from under the straw stack.

Xiang Yao could only barely make out that there were two people, a man and a woman, but when the voice came out, she recognized them immediately.

Isn’t this Zhao Erhua’s granddaughter Liu Xiaotao? Then it’s also very clear who the other person is. It’s Ding Youzhi, the educated youth comrade who was praised to the sky by Zhao Erhua.

Then, Comrade Ding's voice was heard:

"Xiao Tao, don't worry. I'll go to the commune tomorrow to see if the letter from home has arrived. Don't worry, they will definitely agree."

Originally, eavesdropping was not a very bright thing to do.

But Xiang Yao was already sitting on the haystack, so it was no wonder she was being blamed...

Xiang Yao blinked and found a more comfortable position. She looked up at the starry sky, felt the cool breeze, and listened to the two people talking to each other.

Liu Xiaotao was still a little anxious after hearing what Ding Youzhi said, but she also knew that impatient people can't eat hot tofu, so she said softly:

"Okay, Brother Youzhi, I believe you. As soon as the letter from your family arrives, come to my house and propose marriage."

Ding Youzhi paused, looking a bit embarrassed. "Xiaotao, wait a minute. When I go to your house to propose marriage, I will definitely wait for my family to send some money so that I can buy some good gifts and prepare the betrothal gifts. I will prepare for you everything that others can give you. You will definitely be the most beautiful person in Xiangjiawan."

"Brother Youzhi, I will wait for you," Liu Xiaotao said with a hint of shyness and joy, "but don't make me wait too long!"

Ding Youzhi smiled grimly: "Of course, I won't let you wait too long."

As they talked, they became more intimate.

But after all, the straw stack was close to the roadside, and the two of them knew their limits and had no intention of being wild lovers. They just snuggled up to each other and spoke intimate words in soft voices.

Xiang Yao had an indifferent face and thought to himself: If they had watched Qiong Yao dramas, they would definitely know the famous line "Look at the stars, look at the moon, and talk about the philosophy of life from poetry and songs."

However, the two did not talk about poetry and songs but about the philosophy of life. Even though Ding Youzhi was a literary youth, he also tried to have a literary exchange with Liu Xiaotao.

But Liu Xiaotao only had a few years of education, and she would rather share with Ding Youzhi how many eggs her chickens had laid during the day.

So...

"Xiao Tao, I think the stars and the moon tonight are very beautiful. It makes me want to write a poem," Ding Youzhi said affectionately, "I want to write a poem for you."

Liu Xiaotao said shyly, "Brother Youzhi, please don't write poems for me. The one you wrote last time was used by my grandma when she went to the toilet without toilet paper."

Her grandmother couldn't read a word. After wiping her butt with the paper, she complained that it was not useful enough.

As a result, whenever she thought of the paper with the poem written on it, she couldn't help but think of some disgusting substances.

Ding Youzhi fell silent.

This silence lasted a long time.

So much so that Xiang Yao didn't even need to look at the man's face to know that his expression must have been torn.

After a long while, Ding Youzhi finally found his voice: "I won't write anymore. Let's talk about your chickens laying eggs."

Liu Xiaotao was worried that he was unhappy, but when she saw that he was still smiling, she felt relieved.

She felt that her grandmother was right. No matter whether the paper contained arithmetic problems or poetry or composition, in the Liu family's house, it would have to be placed on the stool in the toilet to wipe the butt!

After Liu Xiaotao finished sweetly talking about the chicken laying eggs, she started talking about the fight between her grandmother and Zhang Juhua next door during dinner.

Ding Youzhi listened in silence, not paying attention to the quarrel between the two old ladies. Instead, he asked, "Does your grandma know about our relationship?"

Liu Xiaotao answered as a matter of course: "Of course, my family knows that we are dating. I told them a long time ago!"

Ding Youzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "Didn't I tell you not to tell your family yet?"

Liu Xiaotao said nonchalantly, "I forgot. Do you think my family doesn't know every time I bring you something delicious?"

Nowadays, everyone calculates the portion size when eating. If she hadn't told him that she was in a relationship, how could she have often served a big bowl of food to Ding Youzhi to improve his life?

Liu Xiaotao continued the previous topic, saying indignantly, "That old woman next door is so jealous of our family. They had a quarrel today just because of this. When you come to my house to propose marriage, you have to make a big scene. My grandma is hoping to piss off the old woman next door to death!"

Ding Youzhi responded dryly: "Oh, yes, yes."

Seeing that Liu Xiaotao was about to continue talking, he quickly interrupted, "I think we should stop here today. I'm going back late, and it's not good for us educated youth to spread rumors."

Liu Xiaotao was reluctant to leave: "Okay, Brother Youzhi, I think we should hurry up, so that when you come to live in my house, you won't have to endure the wrath of those people in your educated youth camp."

Ding Youzhi had already stood up, patted the straw on his butt, and said in a lighter tone: "Okay, I'll urge my family."

Only after Ding Youzhi left did Liu Xiaotao turn around and walk around the straw stack.

Unexpectedly, after she had taken a few steps, she looked up and saw a person sitting on the tall straw stack!

Liu Xiaotao was so frightened that her heart almost stopped. When she looked carefully and realized it was Xiang Yao from next door, she patted her chest and was scared for a while.

After finally coming to his senses, his anger surged up again.

She rushed to the bottom of the straw stack and raised her head to ask, "Xiang Yao? How dare you hide here and eavesdrop on our conversation?"
