Seeing the steel fork standing next to him, Jiang He immediately remembered this uncle "Runtu".
She said calmly, "Maybe it's because I have an ordinary face."
The old man shook his head slowly: "No, no."
"A few days ago, a thief broke into my cornfield and I caught him red-handed.
You're the one who stole the corn!"
Jiang He's jaw dropped in shock. This old man has sharp eyes. How could he recognize this?
She quickly waved her hands and denied it three times:
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
The old man stared at her with his eyes piercing. "I saw it clearly at the time. The thief who stole the corn was as short and thin as you, and his hair was the same length!"
Jiang He gritted her teeth and kept smiling. It was really hard for the old man to remember it so clearly.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Li Ting walked to the front.
"Uncle Wang, Jiang He would never steal corn!
You should have heard that there's a Shuguang Supermarket at the base. Jiang He is the owner. She has plenty of food and drink, so how could she possibly come here and steal corn?"
Hearing this, Uncle Wang looked Jiang He up and down again. Of course he knew that supermarket. Even water was sold by the bottle. It was very luxurious.
But he never had that kind of luck. Every time he went there, the supermarket was closed.
Uncle Wang began to doubt himself. Could it be that he really saw it wrong?
"Ahem, sorry, I must have recognized the wrong person.
If you are the owner of a supermarket, why are you here?"
Jiang He clenched his fists and said seriously:
"After all, I'm also a member of the base. Now that the base is harvesting, I should also contribute my own strength!"
"Well said!"
Uncle Wang's voice was as loud as a bell, and his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Jiang He.
"If the base had more people like you who are highly conscious, it would definitely develop better and better in the future!"
"I'm so ashamed. I need to learn more from you, your sense of responsibility is amazing!"
In the crowd, Jiang Shuyue watched coldly as the two men flattered each other.
Shameless bitch, trying to steal the spotlight wherever she goes.
She is so hypocritical and pretentious. She has so many supplies, but she still comes here to help harvest corn. She must have an ulterior motive!
Jiang Shuyue turned her head and glanced at the handsome man beside her, and some guesses arose in her mind.
Could it be that Jiang He came here for Brother Huaifeng?
Nowadays, monogamy has been almost abolished. With just a small amount of food, both men and women can enjoy the happiness of being hugged by women.
Xia Huaifeng has a good-looking face. He has space, good food, and is not as skinny as other men. He is considered to have excellent conditions in the base.
He had only been here for less than a week, and no less than ten women had come one after another to seduce him and want to do something with him.
Jiang Shuyue was on high alert and was almost inseparable from Xia Huaifeng, just like conjoined twins, which prevented others from taking advantage of the situation.
Even so, she still had a strong sense of crisis in her heart.
She was even a little crazy, thinking that all the women in the world wanted to compete with her for men.
Jiang Shuyue shook the man's arm, her voice soft and gentle:
"Brother Huaifeng, you are not allowed to look at Jiang He. Don't even glance at her!"
Xia Huaifeng chuckled and held her in his arms.
"I watch what she does, and that's enough for you, baby."
Listening to the man's sweet words, Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to kiss him.
Uncle Wang's eyes widened in anger, and he pointed at the two of them and shouted:
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Is this cornfield for you to date? Hurry up and get to work. If you can't finish before eight o'clock, I'll keep you two here to work in the dark and harvest the cornfield for me all night!"
Xia Huaifeng pushed Jiang Shuyue away without leaving a trace, widening the distance between them.
"Baby, collect the corn first. I'll satisfy you with the rest when we get back to the dormitory."
Thinking that they had not stopped all night, Jiang Shuyue looked shy.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
…
【Host treasure...】
As soon as the system started to speak, Jiang He covered his chest and interrupted it:
"Wait, don't call me baby yet, I feel a little nauseous."
The system complained: [Oh.]
[Host, the three-hour work period has begun. This system will monitor you. Only when the workload reaches the target can you receive rewards. Come on, host! I believe you can do it!]
It means that you can't be lazy at all...
Jiang He stretched his muscles and started harvesting the corn from the edge with Li Ting.
She grabbed a few corn stalks, swung the sickle, and with a gentle pull, the corn stalks were cut off.
Pile the cut corn stalks aside and continue harvesting the next crop.
In a short while, the pile of corn stalks that belonged to her had accumulated into a small hill.
Li Ting looked at her in admiration, "Jiang He, you harvested the corn so quickly, that's amazing!"
She was a city dweller and had never done farm work before. She didn't even know how to use a sickle. It was very difficult for her to cut corn, and it was not as easy as Jiang He's.
Jiang He kept moving his hands and replied to her with a smile:
"I'm from the countryside, so I'm used to doing this kind of work."
In fact, Jiang He’s farming skills were learned from a small world.
Back then, she was assigned to a farming book and was asked to run a farm. At first, she knew nothing about farm work, but later she gradually became proficient in it.
-
On the other side, Uncle Wang was walking around in the cornfield, supervising everyone at all times. If he saw someone didn't know how to use a sickle, he would teach them step by step.
"Oh, why are you so clumsy? Point the blade at the corn stalk and push down hard. Move quickly!
Hey, hey, hey, the knife is placed too high. There is corn underneath. Who are you going to save it for?
I've taught you so many times, why can't you learn it? Do you have a pig brain? "
Jiang Shuyue was scolded until her face turned red. She had been spoiled since she was a child in the Jiang family and she was simply unable to do such rough work.
He wanted to ask Xia Huaifeng for help, but he was being watched by Uncle Wang and couldn't make any movement.
Seeing Jiang Shuyue being humiliated, Li Ting lowered her head, raised the corners of her mouth, and laughed secretly.
"I heard that Uncle Wang is the biological father of a leader at the base. He has decades of farming experience and doesn't want to stay idle at home, so he insists on coming here to look after the cornfield.
Jiang Shuyue is usually so arrogant, but in front of Master Wang, she is like a quail, not daring to speak loudly.
Jiang He nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder the master is so imposing."
Seeing that Jiang Shuyue had finally made some progress, Uncle Wang moved and went to inspect other places.
He looked at dozens of people with a tense expression on his face. It was not until he passed by the area under Jiang He's charge that Uncle Wang finally showed a satisfied smile.
"I want to especially commend Comrade Jiang, who harvested more corn by himself than three people combined.
Everyone should learn from Comrade Jiang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's angry roar suddenly came from the other end of the cornfield.
"Xia Huaifeng, why are you hugging her?
You actually flirted with another woman behind my back!"
