"I see."
Jiang Tiantian looked at Chu Yanyan with confusion. "Comrade Yanyan, how do you know Li Hexing and are you interested in hearing about him?"
Chu Yanyan lowered her eyes and whispered, "I heard the villagers say that his situation is similar to mine..."
Before Chu Yanyan could speak, Jiang Tiantian made a hushing gesture.
They squatted down.
Jiang Tiantian scolded softly, "Do you want the villagers to know about this? We should not discuss this kind of thing openly, lest someone report us."
Chu Yanyan remained silent, and Jiang Tiantian continued, "You are different from that person. Yanyan, don't ruin yourself because of a momentary overflow of sympathy."
Jiang Tiantian also learned from Uncle Li that some people falsely accused Li Hexing of stealing villagers' vegetables.
"But he is innocent."
"But in the eyes of those people, he's not innocent. I don't know how you know him, or what it is about that person that makes you sympathize with him. We can't do anything openly, but we can do something privately."
Jiang Tiantian has his own ideas in some aspects.
Chu Yanyan nodded to indicate that she understood.
After persuading Chu Yanyan, Jiang Tiantian continued to harvest rice, not noticing Chu Yanyan's fleeting success.
He found that using appearance was a good tool to gain sympathy. Jiang Tiantian said about him, and she herself was the same. However, Jiang Tiantian was really good to him, and he would not snatch the luck that belonged to Jiang Tiantian. What belonged to her was hers.
After dealing with Jiang Tiantian, Chu Yanyan began to concentrate on harvesting the rice. He held a handful in his hand and cut it with a serrated sickle. It was quite easy.
But as I worked more and more, after finishing a few acres of land, I moved on to the next few acres.
Doing it.
Chu Yanyan's hands were numb and he was so tired that he drank a few sips of water before he could catch his breath. He was wrong. This was not fun at all. He was so tired.
Today's weather was relatively clear, without the scorching sun. But once I started working, I was drenched in sweat. If it were a hot day, Chu Yanyan didn't want to imagine that scene.
Chu Yanyan sat down on the ground, shook his hands, picked up a piece of mud and threw it at Chen Feiyang, who was looking at his watch, and asked, "Chen Feiyang, what time is it now?"
Chen Feiyang, holding a stick in his mouth, said with a sullen look, "It's only a little after nine o'clock, it's not time for dinner yet."
"Oh." Chu Yanyan continued to lie dead.
Jiang Tiantian and Zhang Na, who were working, saw the two lazy people and smiled at each other.
Jiang Tiantian said, "You two grown men are even lazier than us. Hurry up and get to work. There are still many rice fields that have not been harvested."
"That's right." Zhang Na responded from the side.
Chen Feiyang sighed: "But I'm really tired. I want to sit for a while and replenish my strength before going back to work."
"Me too." Chu Yanyan really wanted to say that he wanted to sit there without doing anything, preferably until dinner time, and then go eat directly, happily.
A villager on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said, "The male educated youth from the city are really weak and their abilities are not as good as those of the female educated youth."
The sound was neither loud nor soft, just enough for Chu Yanyan and Chen Feiyang to hear.
“…”
The two were silent for a while.
In the end, Chu Yanyan got up first. He picked up the serrated sickle, looked at the rice, and started working.
Chu Yanyan started working. Chen Feiyang didn't dare to be lazy anymore. He took the serrated sickle and started working.
Seeing that the two male educated youth were working, Jiang Tiantian and Zhang Na continued to work.
Seeing Chu Yanyan working so hard, the system felt distressed: "Yanyan, you can slow down a bit, be lazy a bit, and don't over-exert yourself."
"Of course I know. I'm not stupid." Chu Yanyan replied to the system, put down the serrated sickle, and tied up the large bundle of rice. After tying a bundle, he continued to work on the next one.
"That's good. If you feel unwell and need the medicine in my system, I can help you."
"Okay, thank you Xiaoqi, I'll keep it in mind." Chu Yanyan accepted the system's kindness without any hesitation.
After a difficult wait, the painful morning finally passed.
If it weren't for the environmental constraints, Chu Yanyan would really like to sing a song.
Before going back, they were also responsible for counting the number of serrated sickles. The villagers pulled ox carts to move the rice they had harvested and bundled into piles onto the carts, and drove to the commune with the full loads.
After Chu Yanyan and the others finished counting, they had not yet moved all the harvested rice from the fields, so they had to go and help again.
Only after they had moved did they go to the commune to eat.
The chef in the commune is a good cook. The food is better than what I cook at home, and there is also fragrant white rice.
When people are hungry, everything tastes delicious, especially this food.
Chu Yanyan ate two large bowls of rice and a bowl of corn porridge. After eating, she felt much happier.
Jiang Tiantian touched Chu Yanyan's shoulder. In a corner where no one was paying attention to them, she pointed to the land not far behind and said that was the vegetable field.
Chu Yanyan had a toothpick in his mouth. He looked in the direction Jiang Tiantian pointed and saw a shadowy figure in front of him. He took off the toothpick, patted his pants, and stood up: "I want to go for a walk to digest the food."
Chu Yanyan said this and then walked towards the vegetable garden.
Chen Feiyang ate his meal, swallowed it, looked up at Chu Yanyan's leaving back, and asked in a low voice: "Where is Chu Yanyan going?"
Jiang Tiantian picked up a piece of green vegetable and said, "He's full, so he should go for a walk to help digest his stomach."
"Oh." Chen Feiyang understood and continued eating.
On the other side, Chu Yanyan took small steps on the ridge of the vegetable field. Besides wanting to see if Li Hexing had finished his work, he also wanted to see if there were any carrots planted here.
