"Here, have some."
In the end, Lin Yuxi only took one to taste; at this time, the loquat had a sweet and refreshing flavor.
"Do you like it?" Gu Chen asked, seeing the girl nod affirmatively.
Gu Chen wiped the sweat from his face and neck with a towel, then pointed to the top of another mountain, "There are some wild loquats on that mountain, they're a bit ripe. I'll take you to pick them another day."
He watched Lin Yuxi's expression the whole time, and felt a little happier when he found that she didn't seem to mind.
After eating the rice ball, he worked even harder, and by 2 p.m., he had finished turning over the four rows of soil for both of them.
Gu Chen didn't forget Gu Zhixiang and his wife either, and went to inquire whether they needed any help.
"It's good for you young people to go out and see the world. We can turn over this little bit of soil in no time."
Lin Yuxi also told her family about it. Her mother urged her to go quickly, looking even more anxious than Lin Yuxi herself.
Since she was going to town, she couldn't just run there covered in sweat. Lin Yuxi washed up at home, took out shampoo, squeezed a pump onto her head, quickly rubbed it to create lather, rinsed it off with water, and then squeezed another pump onto her head. This time she washed more slowly, since the first time she washed her hair, she was washing away the oil and sweat.
She works here every day, so she probably has to shower and wash her hair every day.
After finishing all that, I dried my hair until it was about 80% dry, then went out wearing a light blue patterned shirt and a pair of loose-fitting straight-leg pants. The pants were quite thin, so I wouldn't have to worry about mosquito bites at night.
As soon as the door opened, Gu Chen was already in the courtyard.
There was a bench at the entrance to the courtyard. He was sitting on the bench, wearing a white shirt, and wrapping the back seat of his bicycle with strips of cloth.
"Are you done? Wait a moment, I'll wrap up the seat, it'll be done in a bit." Gu Chen carefully wrapped the cloth strip, after all, the road surface shook quite a bit on the way there and back, and sitting naked would be very bumpy. He still remembered the last time Lin Yuxi took the bus to Xinluo Town, she was bent over and kept dry heaving.
"No need to wrap it so carefully, it's fine like this."
Gu Chen didn't listen. He even wrapped up the area under the leather seat cushion. He had just noticed that her hands, which were holding the rice ball, had blisters. He wondered if she had applied any medicine.
"Come on up and have a seat." Gu Chen held the bicycle and gestured for Lin Yuxi to sit down.
Lin Yuxi sat down, and the part where her buttocks were was soft and comfortable, unlike the previous discomfort.
A gentle breeze blew, ruffling his fine hair. Gu Chen got on his bike and drove Lin Yuxi towards Xinluo Town.
On the way, Lin Yuxi developed many blisters on her hands, and it hurt wherever she held onto them, so she had to use a bit of the cloth that was wrapped around the bicycle.
"You have blisters on your hands. I'll take you to buy some medicine later. The one I gave you the other day was for reducing swelling and bruising, so don't use the other one for now." Gu Chen's voice drifted over from the front, reaching her ears word for word.
"It's hot, there should be a lot of mosquitoes over there. I'll buy some mosquito repellent coils for you later."
Lin Yuxi responded from behind.
This time, Gu Chen rode his bike very slowly. On the road, he could still vaguely see figures on the loess slope, busy turning over the soil.
An hour and a half later, the two finally arrived at Xinluo Town.
Xinluo Town was still bustling at this time. A big movie was going to be shown today, and many people were dressed up in their best clothes to go to the movie.
Gu Chen took Lin Yuxi to the supply and marketing cooperative.
They had no recollection of Jiang Dongmei, but Jiang Dongmei did remember Lin Yuxi. After delivering the items, her husband praised Lin Yuxi as a nice person and wondered when she would come to town again. Unexpectedly, they ran into her today.
"It's you! What a coincidence! What are you looking to buy today?" Jiang Dongmei greeted them with a smile.
Gu Chen then noticed that the supply and marketing cooperative also had a freezer. He opened it, took out an ice pop, and placed it in Lin Yuxi's hand, carefully avoiding her fingertips.
"Hold this popsicle and use it to cool yourself down. I'm going to buy some things. Wait for me." Gu Chen had bought some fruit and biscuits, considering that he was going to Xiao Xuejun's house.
Lin Yuxi held the popsicle in her palm, and the icy feeling instantly reduced the burning sensation in her hands.
At this moment, Jiang Dongmei came over and winked, saying, "Girl, your boyfriend treats you really well, so thoughtful and considerate. You've found the right person!"
