He frowned.
"Are you going too?" Xie Zhuo asked.
“Yes,” Xu Yan nodded.
The straw hat was quite large, and as she moved, it swayed downwards, covering most of her face, leaving only the tip of her chin visible.
Xie Zhuo wanted to raise his hand to help her up, but he withdrew his hand halfway through.
“It’s too hot this afternoon, don’t get heatstroke,” Xie Zhuo said. “It’s not worth it for a few work points.”
"Mm," Xu Yan replied.
But he kept walking forward without stopping.
Song Guangming didn't realize that Xu Yan had followed him until they reached the field.
She was the only one who came to the entire educated youth settlement.
Song Guangming nodded with some relief.
But this sense of relief vanished when he allocated land to Xu Yan.
“Captain, I’m here to help Xie Zhuo with his work, so I won’t be allocated any land, and I don’t want any work points,” Xu Yan said.

"This isn't the first or second time she's been so high-profile. Last time, didn't she say in front of us that she wanted to marry Xie Laosan?"
Amidst the whispers, Xie Zhuo glanced at Xu Yan, a slight thought stirring within him. "It's too hot. You should go back. I don't need your help."
Xu Yan pushed her straw hat up a bit and looked up at him. "The two of you working together will make things faster. Besides, didn't you say you were going to the city this afternoon to buy wedding supplies?"
Didn't you say you didn't want it?
Xie Zhuo looked at her.
Song Guangming: "..."
He turned his head and saw that the others were not getting off the ground either, and they were all still looking this way. He simply pointed to one side and said, "Xie Zhuo, you are on that plot of land over there. Take you... take Xiao Xu, the educated youth, over there."
