At this time, the herders did not have private pastures and could only graze their livestock on pastures designated by the collective.
Although the boundaries of the grasslands were relatively blurred during this period, there was still a general delineation.
To avoid conflict between different groups, there were boundaries between communes and between communes and local armies.
Herders must graze their livestock within designated pastures and are not allowed to cross these areas at will.
The flock of sheep under Che Xiaoni's command must have crossed the boundary and eaten grass that belonged to the military's pasture.
However, few people care about things like this.
After all, the sheep aren't tied with ropes, so it's normal for them to occasionally cross the line.
Hearing this, Che Xiaoni finally felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, soldier comrade. You are much more lovable than the herdsmen in other communes."
If her sheep dared to graze on the pastures of other communes, the herders from those communes would have come over and started cursing at her.
Hearing her praise her cuteness, Guan Wenru smiled and said, "My name is Guan Wenru. I'm just an unofficial animal caretaker in the logistics department. I'm not a soldier. We're about the same age, so you can just call me by my name from now on."
Che Xiaoni was also a very energetic person. She rode up to Guan Wenru and took the initiative to extend her hand, "Hello Wenru, my name is Che Xiaoni. I'm from the Dahewan Production Brigade around here. You can come and visit me when you have time."
The two shook hands.
Che Xiaoni realized what was happening and quickly pointed to the man next to her, "Oh right, Wenru, this is my brother, Che Zhenxing."
Guan Wenru raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.
It turns out he is Che Zhenxing.
She met Che Xiaoni in her previous life in 1971, after Che Zhenxing had already passed away.
Guan Wenru nodded to him and said, "Brother Che, hello."
When Che Zhenxing met her big eyes, his heart pounded and his cheeks inexplicably turned red. "Comrade Guan... hello."
"?" Che Xiaoni looked at her brother with slight shock.
Her brother has always been daring and willing to do anything since he was a child.
He could argue with the older women in the commune quite eloquently.
She had never seen him so shy and stuttering.
Her round eyes swept over her brother and Guan Wenru.
Guan Wenru didn't notice Che Zhenxing's strange behavior. At that moment, she heard the sound of horses' hooves and turned to look back.
When she saw He Yanzhi and Lu Guodong riding over, her eyes narrowed, and she quickly said to Che Xiaoni, "Xiaoni, let's talk another day. I'm leaving now."
Che Xiaoni snapped out of her daze and said, "Oh, okay."
Guan Wenru spurred his horse and charged towards He Yanzhi and the others.
Che Zhenxing's gaze remained fixed on the direction she had left.
Che Xiaoni moved closer to him and asked, "Brother, isn't Comrade Guan incredibly handsome?"
Che Zhenxing nodded subconsciously, "Beautiful, so beautiful! Like a fairy descending to earth."
"Pfft." Che Xiaoni couldn't help but laugh. "Then, brother, wouldn't you like to marry her?"
"Yes, I do!" Che Zhenxing nodded subconsciously, but he quickly realized what he was doing, immediately looked away, and glared at his sister. "Don't talk nonsense, or you'll ruin the girl's reputation."
"Brother, it just so happens that Mom and Dad are also worried about your marriage. When we meet Comrade Guan tomorrow, I'll ask her about her situation for you."
Che Zhenxing was momentarily distracted, but he quickly calmed down and suppressed his restlessness. He said to his sister very seriously, "Don't scare the girl. She's a soldier with a bright future. Why would she want to marry one of us herdsmen?"
After saying that, he immediately spurred his horse and rode off in the other direction.
Che Xiaoni pouted helplessly.
Looking at her brother like this, it'll be tough for him to get married!
