On the day when the sky cleared up, the long-awaited sunshine finally penetrated the dark clouds and sprinkled on the ground, and the wind finally mustered up all its strength to blow away the lingering dark clouds.
Looking at the bright rays of light, Du Jiang sighed silently. Well, it seemed that she had to go to work today. As for the carefree days of the past few days, she was afraid that they would never be possible again.
"Du Jiang, I'll cook these days." Qian Meili was a person who didn't like to owe favors to others. Looking at Du Jiang walking slowly towards the end of the field, she couldn't help but speak.
Du Jiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then nodded in agreement, "Alright, I'm planning to go with Brother Huo and the others to see if I can dig up some wild vegetables or something."
Yes, wild vegetables have now become a luxury for the educated youth. Although they have learned to grow vegetables like the villagers when they first arrived, it is not yet the harvest season. It is not suitable to exchange vegetables from the village every day. After all, everyone knows the principle of gratitude and resentment. Once the appetite is developed, what if the exchange is stopped one day... Du Jiang did not dare to think further.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Even though the time to return in the future is far away, Du Jiang naturally wants to leave. She was once trapped in one place and now she wants to travel thousands of miles in this life.
Perhaps when Du Jiang was in high spirits, she was assigned to Aunt Du's group again and was still her partner.
Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Aunt Du was particularly enthusiastic today, so enthusiastic that Du Jiang felt a little nervous.
Just as Aunt Du reached out again to try to snatch the sickle from her hand, Du Jiang finally couldn't help it, "Aunt Du, if you have something to say, just say it. You are so enthusiastic all of a sudden, I really can't handle it!"
"Puchi", Aunt Cui next door couldn't help laughing when she saw Du Jiang's helpless and wary look.
Aunt Du glared at Aunt Cui unhappily, then turned to look at Du Jiang. Her expression changed again and again, but she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Well, Du Zhiqing, can you help me find out about Li Hongjun from your Zhiqing site?"
Now it was Du Jiang's turn to change his expression. "Auntie Du, I remember that there are no girls in your family who are about to get married. Why are you asking about them?"
Aunt Du was very upset to see her guarded look. After working together for such a long time, didn't she leave a good impression on her? You know, she is the most friendly aunt.
Du Jiang had no idea what Aunt Du was thinking. Facing the silent Aunt Du, she remained on guard and took two steps back to put some distance between them.
Even though Du Jiang's movements were small, the waterlogged wheat fields immediately caught Aunt Du's attention. She immediately glared at Du Jiang unhappily, "What's with that expression? Am I not kind?" Then, with a nonchalant air, she waved her hands and said, "Forget it, forget it. You're still young, about the same age as my daughter, still a child. I won't bother with you. So, go back and ask that educated youth, Li Hongjun. My sweet girl is the one who picked you up the day you came here. Ask him what he thinks of her."
Ah… Du Jiang's mouth opened wide. She looked at Aunt Du in disbelief, then pointed at herself, "Are you serious? Shouldn't you ask a matchmaker or something about this? I'm still a child."
"Yes, it's because you're a child," Aunt Du said confidently, hands on her hips. "I asked you to find out. My sweet girl is just looking at me. I didn't say we have to get married. Besides, we've been in the same group since you two came. I don't know you well enough, so I'm the most tight-lipped person."
Hearing this, Aunt Cui nodded in agreement, "Exactly. You're the quietest person among the educated youths here. You never join us in our small talk during work."
Du Jiang felt a little depressed, thinking that it was because I didn't participate. It would be wrong for a young girl like me to listen to you guys talking about other people's gossips with red faces.
Unfortunately, she couldn't say anything to complain. Facing the wives of the village chief and the accountant, two of the village's biggest bosses, what could Du Jiang say? She could only nod her head with difficulty. "Well, Aunt Du, Aunt Cui, let me ask, let me ask, but let's make it clear first, I'm asking for you."
"Don't worry, you don't have to go through fire and water. Look at your shrunk little face. Don't worry, I will remember your contribution whether you succeed or not." Aunt Du smiled kindly, but in Du Jiang's eyes, she was like a man-eating tiger in the mountains. She could only forcefully pull the corners of her mouth.
"Du Jiang, go back"
Huo Yang's voice could be heard from afar. The usually steady male voice now sounded like the sound of nature to Du Jiang. Even the subtle fear he had felt in the past disappeared. He immediately waved towards Huo Yang under the shade of the tree and shouted, "I'll be right there."
"Well, Auntie, I'm leaving first," he said, running as fast as if there was a dog chasing him.
This made Aunt Du, who was about to wave goodbye, look confused. She could only attribute it to, "This girl must have been running back to cook, so she ran so fast." Aunt Cui seemed to understand why Du Jiang ran so fast, but she fell silent after seeing Aunt Du's confused look.
Forget it, she should just keep silent. Aunt Cui looked at Aunt Du again before turning around and walking towards the end of the field leisurely.
As for the other side, Du Jiang ran quickly towards Huo Yang under the shade of the tree, uh, no, it was Huo Yang and his group.
"Sorry, something delayed me."
In response to Du Jiang's apology, Huo Yang remained silent as usual, but others came up with a few words of comfort.
Xu Zhizhou: "It's okay. We just finished our work and came here."
Bai Yongjun: "Yeah, don't worry, Qian Meili has already gone back to cook."
Li Hongjun: "Why does the accountant's wife want to see you?"
Apart from He Jiefang who looked sympathetic, Li Hongjun was the only one present who asked a question.
Following the other party's question, Du Jiang looked over and saw Li Hongjun's popular square face with an upright look. Although his skin was sallow and his cheekbones were very prominent, there was nothing he could do. Not only Li Hongjun, but everyone else was thin too. However, although Li Hongjun was thin, he still worked very hard. Thinking of this, Du Jiang understood a little. No wonder the sweet girl in Aunt Du's family fell in love with him.
Du Jiang was not a person who liked to hide things. She immediately told Aunt Du what she had asked her to do just now. Of course, she wanted to get rid of the suspicion of being a matchmaker, but she also wanted to fulfill Aunt Du's request. After all, the village was not big or small. Even if it was a youth sent to the countryside, anything that happened would spread throughout the village within a day. There was no way around it because the youth sent to the countryside was located between Aunt Du and Aunt Cui's families.
