Meeting Xiao Yuheng's blatant gaze, Gu An'an felt as if she had been burned. She nodded awkwardly and then looked away. "Hello, Mr. Mo, I am Gu An'an, an educated youth from Xiaowang Village."

Old Mo looked at the pretty young girl in front of him, then at the tall, handsome young man beside her, and his eyes immediately lit up with a smile. "Hello, hello, I know you. Xiao Xiao has been praising you to me all the way here, and now that I see you, it's true."

Gu An'an thought she had a pretty thick skin, but being teased by someone like Old Mo made her feel hot and bothered. She glared at Xiao Yuheng reproachfully and quickly changed the subject.

"Mr. Mo must be tired from the journey. Let's hurry back, the car is over here."

Seeing her embarrassment, Old Mo didn't continue teasing her. He gave Xiao Yuheng a look that said "keep trying" before getting on the tractor.

Why are you talking about me?

"I just think you're great."

Xiao Yuheng rarely saw her in such a feminine state, and his heart was filled with joy.

"Good my ass."

After glaring at Xiao Yuheng again, Gu An'an quickly caught up with the two people ahead.

Although she swore, she was still so adorable in Xiao Yuheng's eyes, and he strode after Gu An'an.

As the village chief cranked the machine, he glanced at the two men out of the corner of his eye. Seeing them pulling and tugging at each other behind their backs, their relationship was clearly closer than before, and he was overjoyed.

Great! An'an is going to become his nephew's wife. No matter where she is in the future, he can always turn to her if he encounters something he can't handle. Xiao Wang Village will definitely get better and better under his leadership.

In a good mood, the village chief was able to relax when facing important figures like Elder Mo, and began to talk eloquently about the current state of Xiaowang Village.

"Mr. Mo, your accommodations might be a bit less comfortable with us, but there won't be any danger. The houses have been renovated before. However, you'll need to sweep the snow off the roof yourselves in winter to prevent it from collapsing under the weight of the snow."

"This is only right. We live in the house ourselves, so of course we have to clean it ourselves."

“There are three rooms over there, and four people are living there now, two couples. They are all nice people. You can stay in the empty room. I already told them this morning.”

"There's still a month until the autumn harvest. The harvest might be a bit tiring, but you'll be doing the same work as the villagers, and no one will deliberately make things difficult for you."

“There are many good things on our mountain. We can pick mushrooms and lingzhi now. Keep enough for ourselves and we can buy from other villages. At the end of the year, we will pay and collect work points all at once. I can’t say for sure, but at least we won’t go hungry in our village.”

Before even reaching Xiaowang Village, Old Mo grew increasingly fond of the unfamiliar little village. In this day and age, such a vibrant village is truly rare.

"Alright, alright, I'll have to take care of you from now on, little brother."

When they arrived, most of the villagers in Xiaowang Village were in the fields or on the mountain. Occasionally, a few who were busy at home would see them and ask casually. When they heard that Old Mo would be living in the cowshed in the future, they did not look down on him at all, but instead comforted him.

"Old man, the cowshed is a bit secluded and quite quiet. Just call out if you need anything."

Their friendliness towards Old Mo is actually thanks to the good example set by the village cadres. Now they only have one thought: to harvest more and make more money; everything else is secondary.

Another point is that the four people in the cowshed are easy to deal with these days. They haven't caused any trouble in the past few years, and they even saved a child who sneaked up the mountain a couple of years ago. Naturally, their relationship is more harmonious than in other places.

"Okay, then I'll be troubling you from now on."

Seeing how polite he was, everyone treated him even better.

After settling Old Master Mo in, Xiao Yuheng walked back with Gu An'an. "Are you tired?"

Having learned a lot from her uncle, Xiao Yuheng felt proud but also a little worried. After all, she was just a young girl in her early twenties. Wouldn't it be tiring to carry so much on her shoulders?

At this moment, he wished he could be by Gu An'an's side.

"tired?"

Gu An'an turned her head and saw the heartache in Xiao Yuheng's eyes. She frowned slightly and said, "I'm not tired! I'm a paid employee now. There aren't many people in the village who get this kind of treatment."

"What about going to Haishi? You need to plan a lot to get so many orders for the village."

Gu An'an waved her hand dismissively, "I did it willingly. No one forced me to do it. Besides, I went back to visit my family."

Seeing that she didn't care, Xiao Yuheng found it amusing but still couldn't help but remind her, "Alright, Comrade Gu is very capable, I'm envious of her, but you still need to rest when you're tired, your health is the most important thing."

The magnetic voice spoke words of concern, and Gu An'an's heart seemed to be scalded. The usually generous and outgoing girl became a little shy. "I know, don't worry."

Xiao Yuheng kept his right hand in his pocket, his fingers constantly fidgeting inside, showing that he was just as nervous as Gu An'an.

After hesitating for a while, he called out to Gu An'an ahead, "An'an."

Gu An'an stopped and turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"

The next second, Xiao Yuheng took out a square box from his pocket and forcefully stuffed it into her hand, saying, "This is for you."

Gu An'an opened it and took a look. She found it was a watch with a simple design and a thin strap that looked very delicate. Before she could speak, Xiao Yuheng, afraid of being rejected, quickly said, "Take it. I can't wear a women's watch anyway, and they won't accept it if I take it back."

"Then you can give it to your aunt."

Xiao Yuheng immediately refused, saying, "If she wants another one, I can buy her another one, but not this one."

"Why?"

Xiao Yuheng rolled up his left sleeve to reveal the same style underneath, "I thought the style was pretty good, so I bought the same one."

He was a little embarrassed when he said this. He didn't want to say it originally, but he was secretly showing off his affection because he was afraid that Gu An'an would find out and reject him.

Gu An'an knew exactly what he was thinking, but seeing the tall man blushing because he was wearing a couple's watch, she couldn't help but tease him, "Then you can give him both at once, I'm sure Uncle will be very happy."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuheng immediately wilted. "You don't like it?"

Even though she knew they were a couple, she still rejected him. Does this mean An'an still doesn't like him?

That's true. Although his allowance is quite good, An'an is not short of money at all, and she won't choose to be with him because of that.

"I really like it."

She did have some luxury watches she'd amassed in her space, but none of them were suitable to wear. She'd completely forgotten about them while in Shanghai, and was even planning to find a nice one sometime when Xiao Yuheng delivered them right to her doorstep.

"So it's because I'm wearing the same style?"

Gu An'an shook her head, moved closer, looked directly at Xiao Yuheng, and asked in a seductive voice, "Do you want to wear matching watches with me?"
