How could Mrs. Wang not know that Gao Xiaotao grew so tall? She thought that if she tried to scare the two girls, they would be shy and would definitely give up their jobs in the threshing ground.
After thinking about it, she still felt unwilling to give in, so she decided to go find Yang Baoguo and make a scene.
If he dared to side with outsiders instead of the villagers, she wouldn't need to say anything, the villagers would drown him with a mouthful of foam!
"Yang Baoguo!"
Yang Baoguo was working in the fields at this time when he heard a sound that made his scalp tingle.
"Aunt Wang, what's wrong with you?"
"Let me ask you, why did you arrange for those two new educated youth to work in the threshing ground?"
The people working nearby knew that Mrs. Wang was causing trouble because of this matter, so they all pricked up their ears to listen.
After all, they also want to know why.
Everyone is keeping an eye on this job.
At this time, the new and old educated youth who were working in other fields all had expressions of gloating on their faces.
Li Mingfeng lowered her head to hide the smile on her lips, and now it depends on what Feng Lingyu will do.
If she offends the villagers, she will suffer in the future.
Yang Baoguo looked around and realized that he would not be able to convince the public if he didn't give a reasonable explanation for today's incident.
So he cleared his throat vigorously and said loudly: "Everyone only saw that I arranged for Feng Zhiqing and Gao Zhiqing to go to the grain drying field, but they didn't know that they had completed the tasks I assigned to them in the morning."
Mrs. Wang was muttering, "You said it was done, so who knows what they have done?"
What she said made sense, because when the educated youth first arrived, they couldn't even tell the difference between weeds and crops, and often made jokes.
She didn't believe that the two newly arrived educated youth could complete the task ahead of schedule. They must have given Yang Baoguo benefits in private.
Yang Baoguo glanced at the crowd and continued, "Many people saw Feng Lingyu and the others working this morning. Many people present can testify for me whether I am talking nonsense or not."
At that moment, several people stood up and responded, "Yes, Feng Zhiqing and Gao Zhiqing were very efficient and finished the job very early."
Now, everyone looked at each other in surprise. Are these two new educated youth so capable?
Yang Baoguo looked at the expressions on everyone's faces and said, "Since they finished their work in the morning, I let them guard the threshing ground. Also, if anyone of you can complete the task ahead of time in the future, I will treat you equally!"
After listening to Yang Baoguo's explanation, everyone had no objection.
Since you are not enjoying any privileges, what is there to say?
Yang Baoguo also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao were capable, otherwise it would be difficult to get away with this matter today.
Originally, his cousin Yang Jianguo had asked him to arrange some easier work for him, but he was still worried.
Little did he know that Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao were so competitive that he didn't even have to make excuses to get things done.
Since Mrs. Wang knew that Feng Lingyu and the others were able to go to the threshing ground because of their own abilities, she didn't say anything more.
As long as she didn't use any illegal means to snatch her granddaughter's position, she wouldn't be unreasonable.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang had stopped her fuss, Yang Baoguo waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go back to work."
Cao Yanfang and the others were feeling indignant. They were still picking corn under the scorching sun, while Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao were already able to sit under a tree and rest.
The old educated youth also have mixed feelings. They have been working in the countryside for as long as four years, and none of them has been able to work in the threshing ground.
Some people are born to be envied.
Feng Lingyu was lying under a tree with a straw hat covering his face, and he was just sitting there alone watching the threshing ground.
Suddenly, she felt footsteps approaching.
She reached out to take off the straw hat on her face, and against the light, she saw that the person who sneaked over was Shen Huaiyu.
"Why are you here?"
Shen Huaiyu is not actually a bad guy, he just came here to take care of his grandfather, and he usually does things like cutting grass for the cows.
Shen Huaiyu held a large tree leaf in his hand. After opening it, he found a few washed red wild fruits with water droplets on them.
It looks like it was just picked not long ago.
Shen Huaiyu handed over the big tree leaf, "This fruit is very sweet, you try it."
Feng Lingyu had no choice but to get up from the grass and sit next to Shen Huaiyu.
Seeing Shen Huaiyu's serious look, she wanted to tease him again.
"My hands are dirty, how can I eat it?"
While saying this, Feng Lingyu kept staring at Shen Huaiyu.
"Then, I'll feed you." Shen Huaiyu said courageously.
"Ah..." Feng Lingyu opened her mouth slightly, waiting for Shen Huaiyu to feed her.
Looking at the image of Feng Lingyu's red lips slightly opened, vaguely revealing a little bit of her tongue, Shen Huaiyu's nervous Adam's apple slid up and down twice.
He picked up a wild fruit and slowly put it into Feng Lingyu's mouth. His fingertips accidentally touched her red lips.
That scene was inexplicably erotic.
Shen Huaiyu only felt a surge of heat rising up, and his whole body was about to burn.
He didn't dare to look at Feng Lingyu anymore. He turned his head hurriedly and pretended to look straight ahead calmly.
Only the slightly red tips of his ears betrayed him.
Feng Lingyu savored the wild fruit in his mouth carefully and found that it tasted really good.
"Hey, are you shy?"
Shen Huaiyu turned his head and stared at her, like a little wolfdog whose tail was stepped on, with all the hair on his body standing up.
Feng Lingyu burst out laughing. He couldn't tease her anymore, or else she would get angry and embarrassed.
"Okay, I won't say anything. Stop looking at me like that."
Shen Huaiyu then turned his head awkwardly and said, "Call me by my name from now on, don't call me hey."
"Just calling by name? I think I'd better call you, um...how about Xiaoyu'er?"
Shen Huaiyu squeezed his hands. The name Xiao Yuer was what his family called him when he was a child. No one called him that since his parents passed away.
Somehow, he wanted her to call him that, as if they had become a family.
"Okay." Shen Huaiyu was a little embarrassed. He was not a child anymore.
Feng Lingyu saw that he didn't object and smiled contentedly. A boy who is willing to compromise for love is kind of cute (*^▽^*)
When the breeze blows, the air seems to be filled with the fragrance of millet.
The sky is azure blue, with a white cloud floating by from time to time, and there are boys and girls sitting under the trees. Everything seems so quiet and beautiful.
"Do you think today's fruit is sweet?"
"sweet!"
"Would you like to eat it again later? With me?"
The boy asked the last few words with some trepidation.
"Um."
"What does um mean?" the boy asked stubbornly.
"Yeah, that means I want to."
The boy smiled foolishly, thinking that the world is still a beautiful place.
