"Have you heard? Last night, a few wild wolves ran down from the mountains and broke into our village. Oh, all the pigs in Old He's family were bitten to death!"
"Of course I don't know. Last night, I heard the whole area screaming and clamoring. There was chaos everywhere..."
"The situation at the educated youth camp seems pretty serious. They say someone's injured. The team leader and the branch secretary went there early this morning... I guess they're going to have a meeting tonight!"
"He Nian, He Nian."
Jiang Henian had been dozing off while listening to the villagers chatting, but was woken up by someone pushing him. He wiped the corner of his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Yuenniu threw the wheat aside and asked, "Did you go steal chickens last night? You're so sleepy."
"Hmm...I didn't sleep well."
"They all said they saw a wolf last night. I didn't hear it because I live far away. Hey, you know, we haven't seen a wolf here in over ten years. The last time we heard of one was when I was five or six."
Jiang Henian rubbed his face to wake himself up and listened to Wang Yuenniu talk.
Wang Yuenniu was the only acquaintance the original owner could talk to. She lived at the head of Huagou Village and was a talkative girl. She seemed to be very outgoing and had no ulterior motives. The fact that the original owner said nothing did not stop her from chattering and making friends unilaterally.
When Jiang Henian opened his eyes this morning and saw the bright sky, he was so scared that he jumped up.
She actually fell asleep in the thatched cottage last night, hugging He Jinshan in a warm embrace! And it was a bear hug! Her legs were even on his thighs! So embarrassing!
Fortunately, the patient was not bleeding again. His breathing seemed stable and his fever had subsided.
When Jiang Henian ran out, she patted her chest. Fortunately, she didn't run into anyone coming, otherwise she would be finished!
A man and a woman alone! Disheveled! Sharing a bed! Cuddling!
If this isn't promiscuous, what is it?
In this era, her fate is either a bridal sedan or tears behind bars. To put it more seriously, eating a peanut is not uncommon!
She was awake and walking towards Jiang's house, when she happened to run into the members of the Huagou Village team carrying sickles and hoes to work. Wang Yuenniu pulled her to join the team silently, and of course she was also exposed to the death ray from Wang Chunfang who was walking in front.
Alas... Whether I open my eyes or close them, I have to go to work.
These days are so tiring.
Jiang Henian tossed a handful of wheat back with great effort and shook his hands. He didn't know what was going on, but he just felt like he didn't have enough strength today.
"Hey, he's here!"
Wang Yuenniu excitedly bumped Jiang Henian with her hips.
Jiang Henian lost his balance and was knocked to the ground, falling onto the wheat pile, "..."
Both of them were stunned.
"...No, Henian, did you fall and get hurt that day? Why do you look so weak?" Wang Yuenniu looked down at her hips in disbelief.
"Am I fat again??!"
Jiang Henian held his forehead and shook his head, "It's okay, who did you say is here?"
"Of course it's Song Zhiqing!"
Jiang Henian followed her hand and saw Song Wenqing walking towards him with the help of someone, leaning on a stick.
...What bad luck.
Jiang Henian glanced sideways, stood up, picked up the sickle and walked away.
Wang Yuenniu quickly caught up and asked, "He Nian, why aren't you going over? He's injured. I heard he was injured by a wolf while trying to save someone."
"I don't have bad luck."
Wang Yuenniu watched as Jiang Henian walked straight to the other end without looking back, squatted down and slowly cut the wheat, his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.
"Oh my god...did I not wake up today?"
She slapped her face, squatted over, grabbed Jiang Henian's arm and shook it, "Don't you like him very much? Don't think I didn't notice you always peeking at him, but he is indeed handsome and has a great temperament. Am I wrong?!"
Jiang Henian pulled his hand back and said ruthlessly, "If you don't like it, you guessed wrong."
On the other side, Song Wenqing was helped by Yang Chuanlin to sit down on the edge of the field, and a female educated youth brought a pile of wheat straw and placed it at his feet.
"Song Zhiqing, please cushion your legs and don't make the injury worse."
"Yes, actually you don't have to come. Captain Wang also said that you don't have to work recently. We will finish your share and help you make up the work points."
Song Wenqing looked at the people who were showing their deep concern and gave them a warm smile. "Thank you very much, everyone. But the whole team is busy harvesting right now. The production task is heavy, so I can't fall behind, right?"
He clapped his hands and smiled shyly:
"My hands are still working well, so I can be responsible for loading the corn. Just don't think I'm a burden."
"Wenqing, what nonsense are you talking about! You were attacked and injured by wolves because you were trying to save everyone. You are a hero!" Yang Chuanlin said loudly in disapproval.
"Everyone agrees, right?"
"right!"
All the educated youth spoke in unison.
Zhang Xiaoyan nudged Si Yuzhen, who had been silent the entire time, and asked, "Yuzhen, what's wrong with you?"
Si Yuzhen twisted her hands and stared at Song Wenqing's cloth-wrapped calves with her eyes downcast, feeling a little complicated.
Last night, a wild wolf suddenly rushed into the educated youth camp. Everyone was scared and ran out in a panic while sleeping.
She ran slowly and was almost knocked into the ditch by a wolf. It was Song Wenqing who rushed over with a broom to protect her and scared away the ferocious wolf. His leg was almost broken and swollen like a pig's hoof.
As an educated youth who also came to Huagou Village from Shanghai, Si Yuzhen had always had some prejudice against Song Wenqing, thinking that he was not honest enough and that his words and deeds were always pretentious. She didn't realize that it was her own shortsightedness that led her to underestimate him.
She felt a little guilty.
"Si Zhiqing, are you still scared?"
Song Wenqing's gentle question brought Si Yuzhen back to her senses.
She looked at Song Wenqing, who was sitting on the edge of the field with undiminished dignity, and secretly lamented that she had been narrow-minded as a woman before. She shook her head and said sincerely:
"No. Song Zhiqing, thank you so much for last night!"
Her words caused the people at the youth center to express their gratitude and admiration for Song Wenqing. Song Wenqing just smiled, shook his head and waved his hand modestly.
