Su Jiaojiao almost vomited from being called "brother." Her eyes were full of disgust. How dare such a disgusting person come near her?
"No need, get out of here."
“Su Zhiqing, do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this? Believe me or not, I’ll have my dad arrange for you to carry manure tomorrow.”
She had just arrived and didn't really know who this person was. Judging from what he said, his father must have some prestige in the village.
She knew the principle that even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, so she immediately calmed down.
Looking at the man again, she suppressed the nausea and smiled, saying, "Who are you?"
Niu Tieguang smiled broadly; "My name is Niu Tieguang, you can just call me Brother Guang."
“Brother Guang, I don’t need your help here. I think Zhou Zhiqing needs help more. Why don’t you go and ask her?”
Niu Tieguang glanced at Zhou Yuting and saw that her crying appearance was quite pitiful.
He stopped bothering Su Jiaojiao and walked directly towards Zhou Yuting.
Zhou Yuting really didn't want to stay in the countryside for even a day longer, but she also knew she couldn't go back.
Her parents were sent to a cowshed, and her brother was assigned to the south. From then on, she could only rely on herself.
Thinking of this, her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Little sister Zhou, why are you crying? It's just pulling weeds. I'll help you, don't cry."
Zhou Yuting had been keeping her head down, and the moment she looked up at the sound, she was startled by the pig-like face; "Ah!!!"
"What's your sister's name? I'm not going to eat you. I just want to help you. Don't be nervous."
Zhou Yuting had never been around someone so ugly before. She screamed, "Get away from me! Get away from me now!"
Niu Tieguang was enraged by her words, and his face immediately turned fierce; "Little wench, I'm talking to you nicely, and you look down on me, huh! Fine, you just wait and see."
After saying that, he turned and left. He couldn't do anything to her in broad daylight. He'd wait until dark to see how he dealt with this little vixen.
Su Li followed Chen Shengnan to the educated youth settlement first to get several large bags, and then they went up the mountain together.
In modern times, she was always busy, and apart from reading novels, she rarely had time to go out and have fun.
The mountain is lush and green, with excellent scenery.
"Shengnan, what are you looking for on the mountain?"
It wasn't that she wanted to ask that question; it was just that Chen Shengnan's ulterior motives were too obvious.
I led her around in circles; to be honest, if she had come alone, she would most likely have gotten lost.
"Yes, there are two fruit trees ahead. You'll see when you get there."
They walked for almost an hour in the mountains before arriving at the place Chen Shengnan had mentioned.
There were not only two jujube trees there, but also two chestnut trees.
The dates were already red, and many chestnuts had fallen to the ground, with plenty still on the trees.
Su Li couldn't understand why Chen Shengnan would bring her here when the price of jujubes was already high and she knew about such a good place.
Thinking this way, she blurted out, "There are so many fruits, you could have picked them up yourself, why did you bring me along?"
Chen Shengnan didn't speak. She had been at the educated youth settlement for two years, but she didn't have a single friend she could talk to.
This might also be related to her personality; she doesn't like to talk, but when she works, she's like a man, unafraid of hardship, and always gets her full work points. They always look at her with a strange gaze, and whether they're going out to buy things or anything else, they never ask her to join them.
To be honest, she's gotten used to it. She discovered this place last year; the fruit here ripens earlier than elsewhere.
She hadn't told anyone, but this time, she suddenly really wanted to invite Su Li along.
And that's what she did.
"Hurry up and pick them up!"
Chen Shengnan only said these four words before handing one of the bags to Su Li.
"Pick up the ones on the ground first."
Su Li stopped worrying about it and the two of them, one picking dates and the other picking chestnuts, were busy and having a great time.
The two quickly finished picking up the jujubes from the ground, and Chen Shengnan walked to the jujube tree and shook it vigorously a few times.
Dates started falling from the tree with a rustling sound, so she climbed up the chestnut tree and used a stick to tap and knock on it.
It was clear she was very experienced. Su Li stood to the side, just in case a falling chestnut hit her.
She glanced to her left and saw a stream not far ahead with a roe deer by the water's edge.
She quickened her pace and walked briskly toward the roe deer.
Soon she reached the roe deer, picked up a thick stick from the ground, and started hitting the roe deer.
This silly roe deer is actually not moving at all; seeing it in person is truly better than hearing about it.
Even after being hit on the head with a club, the silly roe deer didn't fall down; it just stared blankly at her, standing there dumbly.
Su Li grew bolder and walked directly in front of it, storing it in her spatial storage.
Then we walked to the stream, where the aquatic plants were lush, the water was clear, and the fish swam boldly around.
She dipped her hand into the water, and any fish that touched her hand could be instantly stored in her spatial storage.
Using this cheat device, she caught five fish.
She picked out one of the grass carp and carried it with water plants.
Just as I was about to head back, I saw a patch of bright red plants ahead.
Standing here, I can't see exactly what it is.
She walked a little further and only when she got closer did she realize that they were a few wild red chili pepper plants.
Without a second thought, she started picking, finishing all the chilies. She put most of them into her spatial storage.
I'll leave some fish behind to cook this afternoon.
Worried that Chen Shengnan wouldn't be able to find her, she thought she should hurry back.
But then they heard a sound in the distance, which sounded like the sound of chiseling stones.
Driven by curiosity, she followed the sound for a few more steps, but before she could get very far...
He was blocked by Gu Huanian who suddenly appeared.
"Don't go any further."
What are you doing here?
"This is not a place you should go. Don't come here again. It's not safe. As for anything else, don't ask."
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
Su Li wasn't too bothered; she could roughly guess that Gu Huanian was probably on some kind of mission.
When Gu Huanian saw Su Li again, he felt a little strange.
He gazed at her with deep eyes, but before he could say two words, she was about to leave, showing him such dislike.
Since what happened last time, Su Li has been appearing in his dreams from time to time. Her skin is smooth, her waist is slender, and her face is moist. In his dreams, she is not as indifferent as she is now.
Gu Huanian didn't know what was wrong with him. Seeing Su Li about to leave, he reached out and grabbed her. "Su Li, I can take responsibility for what happened last time. If you agree, I can submit the marriage application in the next few days."
Su Li was puzzled. Hadn't she made herself very clear last time? Why was she still thinking about taking responsibility now?
But then I thought about it again. People in this era are more conservative. I've read a lot of novels set in the past where village girls were rescued from the water by military officers and then started to cling to them.
But she's not that kind of person. Others were trying to save her, and she wouldn't turn on her benefactors.
So she said firmly, "Gu Huanian, don't worry. I said I don't need to take responsibility, and I don't. I won't bother you about this anymore, and we don't need to mention it again."
