Dalizhuang
After the spring planting season ended, He Wan was assigned to work on the reclaimed land at the foot of the mountain this afternoon. The village planned to plant vegetables there, since the work was just picking up stones, which was a very easy job. So they sent the educated youths there: Liang Shurui, Zhang Jianjun, He Wan, Su Ranran, Zhang Cuicao, and Chen Qing, who were four female educated youths.
The captain must have looked down on these slow workers to send them here.
After two months of farm work, He Wan still wasn't quite used to it, even though today's work was very easy.
After an afternoon, my back and waist were aching.
Since Su Ranran and her friend were cooking today, they were heading back early.
He Wan saw that she had picked up almost everything and was ready to call it a day and go home.
Despite the pain in his shoulder, he staggered down the slope.
Not only her, but Chen Qing's character is a pampered girl who never does housework. Doing farm work would be a nightmare for her.
He was walking in front of He Wan, but he wanted to turn around and talk to Liang Shurui behind him. Liang Shurui and Zhang Jianjun were hanging their heads, probably not wanting to speak at the moment.
The roads here are not wide to begin with, and they're along the riverbank, full of pebbles and straw.
Chen Qing lost her balance and fell headlong into He Wan's arms.
He Wan was already unsteady on her feet and had little strength, so she was knocked off balance and almost fell into the river.
Fortunately, He Wan was wary of water and pulled Chen Qing to steady herself. She turned and glared at her, saying, "What are you doing?"
After Chen Qing regained her footing, she saw Liang Shurui behind her about to look up in their direction. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Liang Shurui pulled He Wan's hand and with a quick pull, causing her to fall down with a cry of pain.
He Wan wasn't stupid. Seeing that she was going to do something bad, she couldn't just be wronged like that. She grabbed Chen Qing's hand tightly and pulled her inside as well.
"ah."
Just then, Liang Shurui, who was behind him, hurriedly dropped the tools in his hand and ran over.
Just as she was about to fall flat on her face, He Wan mentally imagined her two front teeth breaking. She quickly covered her face with one hand. At the critical moment, her body suddenly veered off course with a tug and she fell directly onto the riverbank. Looking up, she saw that it was Zhang Cuicao who had caught her.
Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao were walking not far ahead when He Wan loudly scolded Chen Qing. They turned their heads and glanced over, and in the blink of an eye, they saw He Wan staggering and pulling Chen Qing down the slope towards the river.
Zhang Cuicao, light on her feet, quickly put down her tools and ran over. At the last moment, she grabbed He Wan, while Liang Shurui, who had run down, grabbed Chen Qing.
He Wan groaned and collapsed to the ground, the pain making her curse Chen Qing eight hundred times in her heart.
This plot seems to be in the book as well. It says that when He Wan was leaving work with them that day, she saw that Chen Qing looked listless and would collapse at the slightest touch. She thought about how Liang Shurui had been indifferent to her lately, but had been much more enthusiastic towards Chen Qing, and she had a bad idea.
At that moment, Liang Shurui saw He Wan pushing Chen Qing with one hand.
She rolled directly into the water along the riverbank, and it was Liang Shurui who pulled her out. Afterwards, she developed a high fever.
After this incident, Chen Qing rescued Liang Shurui twice and would talk to him from time to time. The two were assigned to the same group during the autumn harvest.
As they spent more and more time together, they grew closer and closer.
On the contrary, He Wan became known as the vicious young educated youth. Even when she tried to explain, Liang Shurui didn't believe her and was extremely disappointed in her.
Chen Qing was very understanding and didn't blame her. During that time, she helped Chen Qing cook and take care of him.
Of course, after this incident, seeing Chen Qing and Liang Shurui getting along better and better, I also felt jealous.
As a result, she targeted Chen Qing at every turn and relentlessly pursued Liang Shurui, resorting to unreasonable and disruptive tactics. The more she did this, the more annoyed Liang Shurui became, but she remained oblivious, much to Chen Qing's chagrin.
However, thanks to He Wan's firm pull today, Chen Qing didn't fall into the water, so getting sick is impossible.
Pshaw, I'm not the same He Wan from the control group in the book anymore.
