"Oh~ What a clever girl."
Ma Guihong caressed the little face more lovingly.
The rough palm covered with calluses scratched Jiang Henian's face, but the warm and sincere temperature inexplicably made his heart warm.
Jiang Henian stood obediently with his head held high like the proud Jerry, and smiled even more sweetly.
"That voice just now was really bright, my daughter is really good."
"Yeah, I could hear it by the pond over there. It was louder than Ding Guangsheng fiddling with that broken radio."
Jiang Henian was embarrassed and could only giggle and play dumb and scratch her head, fearing that these uncles, aunts and ladies would ask her to perform again.
"Nian girl..."
Jiang Henian was shocked when he heard the tone, and immediately turned to explain to the person who came:
"Uncle Ding! I came to work early! I saw these two people acting suspiciously on the road, so—"
Before she finished her words, a tall figure appeared behind her. She turned her head and saw He Jinshan, leaning on the stick with his elbows bent, standing behind her with a natural expression, as if he was just there to join in the fun.
Ding Guangsheng looked at the petite and cute Jiang Henian, then looked at He Jinshan, who was three sizes older than her and had a relaxed and cool look on his face, and at the mysteriously similar smooth, forked wooden sticks in the hands of the two men.
For some reason, he always felt like he was seeing a family, and the most difficult family at that.
Hey - what are you thinking about!
I must have been worn out by these two difficult work point combinations recently.
Ding Guangsheng shuddered, shook his head, and opened his hands to urge, "Okay, okay, everyone go back to work."
Everyone carried their farm tools and walked away, talking in a flurry.
Chen Erhu wanted to chat with Shan Ge, but Ma Guihong twisted his ear and dragged him away.
"I told you to follow your big brother and help feed the cows, but where have you been? Running around all day! If you faint at the village entrance again like last time, I think you'd better let the wolves take you away!"
"Hey hey hey! Mom! My ears are going to fall off!"
Jiang Henian chuckled, then turned his head and raised his little face, touching the branch on the top of the stick with the one in He Jinshan's hand, and silently revealed a sly smile.
Then, the man, who was looking down with a slight smile on his face, opened his hands and grabbed both of them casually.
The little clever boy has a bit of a temper. If he is bullied, he will remember the grudge and will take revenge on his own.
Wang Gou walked to the corner of the fork in the road, turned around and stared at the little woman with a bright and sweet smile, with anger and consideration flashing in his eyes.
Jiang family? I haven’t seen her for a while and she’s grown into this devilish figure. No wonder Chen Laitou’s pants are about to burst when he sees her.
"This little bitch ruined my business!"
He spat on the ground and rubbed his dirty black cloth shoes against the dirt twice.
As he turned around, a figure suddenly blocked his way.
His short, thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he said in a rough voice, "Where did you come from, you stinky girl? Get out of here."
"It's you, isn't it?" the newcomer suddenly said, "You ordered Chen Laitou to steal the cow."
Wang Gou's face immediately turned gloomy.
"court death?"
Unexpectedly, the other party was not afraid. He hooked his fingers around the braid hanging on one side and said with a smile, "How about a deal?"
"As long as you do one thing for me, no one will know."

The next day, it was almost evening.
"Into the mountains! Where are the people going into the mountains?"
"Is this the place to enter the mountains?"
Someone shouted all the way and found this large warehouse that had just been cleaned.
As everyone was heading out with their tools, Wang Jianping strode in, panting and waving at He Jinshan: "Jinshan... cough."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly coughed roughly, straightened his collar, and then hurried over and said, "Comrade Jinshan, thank you for coming here."
He Jinshan raised his brows slightly but said nothing.
Everyone was startled by the captain's sudden awkward and respectful attitude. They slowed down their pace and pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
When Wang Jianping saw everyone suddenly slow down, he knew what was going on, so he took He Jinshan directly to the team office next door, and closed the door so that he couldn't see anything.
"Comrade Jinshan, you...haha! Why is Lao Ping suddenly speaking so sourly? I thought some high-ranking official from the commune had arrived!"
Everyone walked out talking at the same time, and some of them even imitated Wang Jianping's speech.
"What a bullshit leader! He's just a kitchen clerk. He's been away for ten years, and he came back with nothing and injuries. He has no skills, and he's grown up for nothing..."
"I didn't expect he could still walk. Even though he's disabled, it's no wonder that young wife ran away, hehe."
A woman interrupted, "Keep your voice down! How dare you say that in front of him? He's a former soldier, after all. He's quite intimidating!"
Several of the most enthusiastic young men were unhappy and raised their middle fingers, saying, "What are you afraid to say? No matter what, he's a cripple now! Do you think he can still walk like a normal person if his crutches are taken away? I can knock him down with one hand, right? Hahahaha!"
"Exactly! That Chen Erhu acts like a dog all day long, calling me Brother Shan~Brother Shan~coward, hahahaha!"
Chen Damao learned a few lines in a strange accent, holding his stomach and laughing, when suddenly he was hit hard on the back.
"Hiss—shit! Who is it?"
He turned his head and saw the person behind him, and the national treasure that was about to come to his mouth immediately made a sharp turn.
"Hey, He Nian sister, what are you doing?"
"Who are you? Stop standing there in the way and delaying production!"
Jiang Henian was holding a few heavy farm tools, with a stern face, and he pushed past several people and strode out.
"Oh my god! Girls change a lot when they grow up, so much energy!" Li Zhugan stared at Jiang Henian's back and sighed.
Wang Zhuzi bent his elbow and teased Chen Damao, "Brother Mao, is she teasing you? Why don't you go up?"
"Get lost!"
