Meanwhile, Li Xingyue was quietly approaching Xiao Che.
His eyes shone with undisguised joy.
Xiao Che had already noticed this and frowned impatiently.
"Comrade Xiao, is this a vegetable seedling or a weed? Can you tell me?"
Xiao Che looked at the corn seedlings and weeds in the field and his mouth twitched. Where did this young lady come from?
There is a difference between corn seedlings and weeds. All I can say is that this young lady doesn't know the difference between grains, and she's also lazy!
I was out of breath after just a short while. That's too weak!
Tsk tsk tsk, his eyes were full of disdain, but Li Xingyue didn't see it because she had her head down.
"The corn seedlings have broad, thick, ribbon-like leaves with parallel veins and a dark green color. This is it."
As he spoke, he pointed it out to her.
As he explained, Li Xingyue recognized him and exclaimed with admiration, "Comrade Xiao, you're amazing! Now that I know him, I won't make the same mistake again!"
The girl, who was usually composed and gentle, looked at him with a face full of adoration and naivety. If it were an ordinary man, which one could resist her?
But she was facing the heartless Xiao Che, who simply waved his hand and went to work, never saying another word to her after that.
Li Xingyue wasn't in a hurry. She wasn't one of those women with superficial methods; she preferred to win people's hearts.
So what if she's cold and distant? She still got to use the stove and pots, joined the team, and even struck up a conversation with them.
So far, the results are encouraging. She always said, which man could resist her charm?
If I improve a little bit every day, I don't believe I can't beat him!
Xiao Che felt uncomfortable under the gazes behind him.
What kind of trouble is this guy up to now?
He carefully checked the pots and pans she had used that morning and found nothing unusual.
Throughout his observations, he noticed that Li Xingyue greeted and chatted with the villagers, engaging in conversation with everyone, regardless of age or gender, and she did so in a way that didn't annoy anyone; on the contrary, she inexplicably evoked a sense of goodwill in others. But the more this happened, the more wary he became.
At noon, due to the busy farming season, the educated youth at the settlement planned to cook together, otherwise, with only two stoves and several people taking turns cooking, they wouldn't be able to manage.
Jiang Wenming had already teamed up with Qiao Yu and Zhao Liang in the morning, and by noon, one of them had gone back early to cook.
Li Xingyue approached Xiao Che again.
"Comrade Xiao, how about we team up? I'll cook for you, and you can borrow my pots and pans. Is that alright?"
Just as Xiao Che was about to refuse, Liu Meiling came over.
"I'll come too. I'll go back and cook first today. What do you think, Comrade Xiao?"
She saw Li Xingyue approaching Xiao Che from afar, and at this time, it was obvious why.
She dared not let Li Xingyue handle the food that was in the entrance, lest she add something to it!
Ever since she realized she was a terrible cook, she's put in a lot of effort. Now, her cooking, while not exactly delicious, at least tastes normal and is edible.
Xiao Che was also worried about letting Li Xingyue cook alone, fearing she might be drugged or something.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Comrade Liu!"
"No trouble at all, I'll go right away."
After saying that, Liu Meiling went back to the educated youth settlement. She still had to watch Jiang Wenming cook.
Since someone is planning to take action against the Xiao family, all four of them are suspects. She doesn't believe that someone who is consistent in word and deed is without fault.
Li Xingyue bit her lip. She didn't want Liu Meiling to come along, but the two of them ignored her completely without even asking for her opinion!
At noon, everyone finished work and went home for lunch.
The group returned to the educated youth settlement together.
The aroma of the food was already wafting out.
"You're back! Go wash your hands and have some dinner!"
