Chapter 48 Going to Work in the Fields



Unexpected.

Xie Zhuo's straw hat was exceptionally clean, even whiter than the usual color of wheat fields, and it didn't have any strange smell.

If it weren't for the messy loose threads and two holes on the brim, Xu Yan would have thought it was a new straw hat.

Xie Zhuo watched her movements, raised an eyebrow, and then reached out to grab the straw hat.

Xu Yan dodged to the side and then put the hat back on his head.

The female educated youth had fair skin, and ever since she stopped walking with her head down and neck hunched, she became dazzling.

Her hair was loosely tied into two braids, making her face appear very small. Her skin was so white it seemed translucent, and her facial features were extremely delicate and exquisite. Her eyes, in particular, were half-closed in a smile, leaving those who looked at her somewhat stunned.

I almost walked right into the ditch next to it.

"Damn, Third Sister-in-law is amazing! I've never seen anyone look so good in a straw hat," Liu Mancang said, craning his neck to look at Xu Yan.

Zhao Jisheng glanced in that direction only once before turning Liu Mancang's neck back around.

Others were also watching Xu Yan.

At first, it was because of what happened last night, but as I watched, I felt... it was actually quite pleasing to the eye.

I never thought this young Xu was pretty before, but in the last two days she's been completely transformed and suddenly looks much better.

even.

Even Xie Laosan, who was standing next to her, seemed different from before.

Well, even though he's still the same person, Xie Laosan seems to have become a bit more handsome.

strangeness!

How strange!

Xie Zhuo had gotten used to being under the gaze of others over the past few years, so she didn't feel anything about being looked at like that. Xu Yan was similar; she wasn't socially anxious and wasn't afraid of being stared at. The two of them continued walking and talking behind the crowd.

“After we get married,” Xie Zhuo suddenly said, “you won’t need to come to work anymore.”

"Huh?" Xu Yan didn't react.

“Except for the autumn harvest, at other times, basically only one person from each family needs to go to work,” Xie Zhuo explained.

After pausing for a few seconds, she continued, "I... I can handle the work at home, you don't need to come."

Xu Yan looked up slightly at Xie Zhuo.

Our home?

Although they were getting married in less than a week, Xu Yan still felt a little uncomfortable hearing him say that.

Xie Zhuo didn't look at her.

The tips of her ears have turned red again!

Xu Yan found it rather strange.

Although she had never been in a relationship in her previous life, quite a few people confessed their feelings to her, but she didn't have that much time, so she rejected them all.

To be honest, aside from when her junior high school classmate slipped her a love letter and her face turned red with a shy blush, this was the first time she had ever seen a man in his twenties, almost 1.9 meters tall, with his ears so red.

Xu Yan almost laughed.

But before she could react, the man next to her pressed her head down again, and her hat covered the upper half of her face.

We arrived at the field.

After the team leader divided the area, everyone went down to the ground.

The workload this morning wasn't heavy. The men were assigned four-tenths of an acre, and the women three-tenths. Just like before, whoever finished hoing first could leave first.

This time, Liu Mancang was finally allocated the plot of land next to Xie Zhuo's.

His men deftly tore the yellow dodder tangled in the crops and threw it into a sack. Then, taking advantage of the brigade leader's inattention, they moved closer to Xie Zhuo.

Xie Zhuo acted as if he couldn't see him and ignored him.

"Third Brother," Liu Mancang called out.

Xie Zhu picked out a few edible purslane plants from the bunch of grass he had shoveled down, and stuffed the rest into a burlap sack.

"Third Brother," Liu Mancang called out again.

Xie Zhuo shoveled down another handful of grass and took two steps forward.

"Third brother~"

Just as Liu Mancang changed his tone and called out again, Xie Zhuo suddenly turned around, grabbed a handful of grass, and was about to stuff it directly into his mouth.

"Hey, hey, hey, Third Brother!" Liu Mancang quickly stepped back to avoid Xie Zhuo's outstretched hand. "I was wrong."

They admitted their mistakes incredibly quickly.

Xie Zhu glared at him and continued working with his head down.

He knew without even listening what Liu Mancang was about to spout.

Anyway, they're all just empty platitudes.

really.

"Third Brother, where's your straw hat?" Liu Mancang asked.

Seeing that Xie Zhuo didn't respond, he still kept talking, "Normally, Zhao Jisheng and I couldn't even touch each other, but now you're saying you're giving him away like that?"

“I overheard what my mom and dad were saying last night, and you told them everything…”

"Liu Mancang!"

Liu Mancang was interrupted once again by the captain's angry roar before he could finish speaking.

"If you really don't want to do this, go home and lie down. Don't bother Xie Zhuo!"

Liu Mancang became obedient this time, not daring to say anything more, and lowered his head to start weeding seriously.

Without Liu Mancang's nonsensical remarks, Xie Zhuo worked even harder than usual, finishing weeding his plot of land in almost half the time.

Then he tied the sacks with straw, carried them back and forth twice, threw the four sacks of straw on the roadside, and walked towards Xu Yan.

Weeding is arguably the simplest job in farming.

All you need to do is use a hoe or shovel to cut the grass down and put it into a sack.

The female educated youth in the educated youth settlements were basically all grouped together.

Zhou Jingjing was the fastest, followed by Qin Li, Liang Qian, and Wang Wenwen.

Ye Wei and Xu Yan are evenly matched.

He was nearly five meters behind the others.

The captain kept glancing in their direction.
