Lin Yu heard the laughter and looked up.
She was a young girl with two braids, wearing ordinary cotton clothes without patches.
She nodded to the two of them. "Hello, my name is Ou Manqing. I'm sorry to bother you."
She spoke in a light and cheerful voice, but with a touch of coquettishness, and her Mandarin had a slight southern accent.
Lin Yu guessed that she must be an educated youth from the brigade.
Sure enough, the next second she said, "I'm an educated youth, I just came out to cut pig feed, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."
Lin Yu smiled and waved her hand, "It's okay, we weren't whispering anything."
Ou Manqing raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What are you saying? Can I hear it?"
Lin Yu pulled Li Dahui along, "This is my Uncle Dahui. Don't you think he's handsome?"
Li Dahui's ears turned bright red, and he shook his head, "No, no, no, Xiao, Xiaoyu, don't, don't, don't talk nonsense."
Lin Yu: "I'm not talking nonsense, Uncle Dahui. You should know your place. You are very handsome and good-looking. There must be a discerning aunt who will take a liking to you."
Ou Manqing walked up with a basket on his back and said with a smile, "Hmm, this comrade is indeed quite handsome. Your niece is right, you should have confidence in yourself."
Li Dahui's face and ears turned red again; he had never been so close to a girl before.
Even though he was engaged to Niu Xiaohua before, he only spoke a few words to her from afar.
Sometimes when I bring her things, it's through Niu Facai who takes them.
As Ou Manqing suddenly approached, Li Dahui immediately smelled her unique fragrance, which made his heart flutter.
He already had a stutter, and now he's even more unable to speak.
Like a mute.
Lin Yu looked at the two of them with sparkling eyes, looking them over with a gossipy expression.
Rub your little hands together.
Could it be that she stumbled upon the scene of the rough-around-the-edges male protagonist and the educated youth female protagonist falling in love at first sight?
Hehe, this is much more fun than reading novels.
Speaking of which, the name Ou Manqing sounds quite familiar.
Lin Yu was watching a play when she heard a voice calling, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, where did you go?"
It was Lin Yuan's voice.
Lin Yu replied, "I'm here."
Lin Yuan rushed over, "You silly girl, you just disappeared while you were walking. What are you doing here instead of going home?"
Lin Yu waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Oh, I'm just trying to comfort Uncle Dahui. There are plenty of fish in the sea. I assure Uncle Dahui that he'll find someone even better in the future."
Lin Yuan tapped her on the head, "You're so good at talking, you always have a whole set of theories."
Sigh, Lin Yu felt helpless. Ever since they started eavesdropping on each other's gossip, her second brother has been lecturing her all the time.
She's completely innocent.
When Lin Yuan ran over, Li Dahui looked away and moved away from Ou Manqing.
As a single old bachelor, he simply couldn't handle this kind of stimulation.
Ou Manqing smiled broadly, seemingly unconcerned.
Lin Yuan noticed the two men at this moment. "Uncle Da Hui, who are these?"
He didn't recognize the woman either; he guessed she was a sent-down youth.
Ou Manqing took the initiative to greet Lin Yuan, saying, "Hello, my name is Ou Manqing, and I'm an educated youth from the brigade. Let's get to know each other, what are your names?"
Lin Yu peeked out from behind Lin Yuan. "Hello, Comrade Ou, my name is Lin Yu. This is my second brother, Lin Yuan. The man next to you is my uncle, Li Dahui."
Ou Manqing nodded. "Hello, Comrade Lin and Comrade Li Dahui."
Li Dahui stammered, "You, you, you, you, hello."
Lin Yu quietly asked Lin Yuan, "Second Brother, don't you think Uncle Da Hui's stuttering has gotten even worse? Hehe."
Lin Yuan nudged her with his elbow, "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Da Hui will be embarrassed later."
Li Dahui was a little further away and didn't hear them talking. He only saw the brother and sister whispering to each other, not knowing what they were saying that was so funny.
After they had finished laughing, they finally looked up, their expressions serious.
Lin Yuan patted Lin Yu, "Sis, let's go home. It's getting dark, we should go home for dinner."
Lin Yu nodded, "Okay, dear second brother."
Ou Manqing waved to them, "Then I should go back to the educated youth settlement."
"Hey, Comrade Ou, wait a minute." Lin Yu called out to her.
"What's wrong, Comrade Lin?"
Lin Yu nudged Li Dahui, "It's not safe for you to go alone. Let my Uncle Dahui take you home."
Li Dahui was pushed by her and ended up in front of Ou Manqing.
He didn't refuse, he just stood there at a loss.
With a nervous expression, Ou Manqing asked, "Comrade Li, is this alright? Will it interfere with your going home for dinner?"
Li Dahui waved his hand, "No, no, no, I won't, let's go, let's go, let's go."
A smile unconsciously spread across Ou Manqing's face. "Okay, let's go."
As she passed Lin Yu, she moved her lips as if to say, "Thank you."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. Could this educated youth, Ou, be pretending to be shy so that Uncle Da Hui would willingly give her the gift?
Could it be that she's really taken a liking to Uncle Da Hui?
Is it possible?
It might actually be true!
Lin Yu clapped her hands, "Hehe, I hit the jackpot!"
Lin Yuan turned her head around. "Where did you bump your head? Let me see."
Lin Yu slapped his hand away, "Get out of here, you don't understand."
Lin Yuan put his hands on his hips and said, "Hey, why don't I understand? Tell me, and I'll understand."
As Lin Yu walked, she said, "Don't you think that Ou Zhiqing might like our Uncle Dahui?"
Lin Yuan shook his head, "I don't think so, it's impossible. Let's not even talk about how the educated youth would look down on us country folk."
