She blinked in her place, then glanced at the two people who were already walking up.
While Lu Zhan was swinging his sickle to chop down the tree, he also found time to free up one hand to support Qingdai, while Qingdai tugged at the corner of his clothes. She looked particularly petite under the protection of the man's tall and burly figure.
Zhao Xuechun suddenly understood something...
Today, Comrade Lu came to their group carrying a hoe. She hadn't reacted yet, but now this scene made her realize something.
A few days ago, she heard people say that Comrade Lu often came to deliver things to Qingdai every morning, noon and evening. The scene was described in such detail that it seemed as if it were real. However, she was a little older and knew that such things should not be spread casually, so she just listened to it as a piece of gossip and let it go.
Now it seems that there really is something going on between the two of them... No, it's so obvious, there is definitely something going on!
With this feeling, Zhao Xuechun spent a very difficult day.
The barren mountain that was originally very difficult for the two female comrades to cultivate was disappearing at the blink of an eye with the saplings on both sides of the road after Lu Zhan joined.
Soon, a new path leading to the mountain was opened.
Lu Zhan worked quickly and accurately, swinging the sickle with every blow, and he carefully cut off the sharp thorns from the chopped branches before handing them to Qingdai.
After reaching the mountain, Qingdai loosened the corner of Lu Zhan's clothes. This man seemed to have unsealed some kind of seal, and his actions were quick and accurate.
Qingdai could hardly keep up with his speed just by picking up branches.
Zhao Xuechun followed him up the mountain. She and Qingdai looked at each other, and the two female comrades followed Lu Zhan to pick up things.
Seeing Lu Zhan walking further and further away, Zhao Xuechun finally had the time to get close to Qingdai.
"Qingdai, I'm looking at Comrade Lu. Is he interested in you?"
Zhao Xuechun's words were still conservative. From her point of view, it was absolutely interesting. She almost had the word "interesting" engraved on her forehead.
Qingdai pursed her lips and chose to tell the truth between telling the truth and laughing it off.
The main reason is that Zhao Xuechun is the oldest among them and doesn't like to spread gossip. In short, she is a reliable person, so it's okay to tell her.
"Actually, my family asked me to go to the countryside this time just to find him."
Zhao Xuechun was shocked. She didn't expect there was such a reason.
"You...you have known Comrade Lu for a long time?"
"...Not really. He's been in the countryside for several years, and my family accepted the betrothal gift from them, so they asked me to come here to find him."
Qingdai is actually not sure if this is the name. According to the information transmitted by the system, in this era, the two families would receive gifts from each other and then register to be considered married?
Zhao Xuechun covered her mouth in shock:
"So, you are already married, husband and wife?"
It's incredible. The previous rumors were too conservative, saying that the two were dating. I never thought that these two young comrades are already a couple!
****
Zhao Xuemei knew that there was this kind of relationship between Lu Zhan and Qing Dai. Later, when she saw the interaction between the two young people at lunch, her eyes became much calmer.
This time, Lu Zhan prepared two large enamel pots filled with dumplings. Qingdai picked up one with chopsticks and took a bite. It was filled with cabbage and pork.
"hiss……"
She wasn't paying attention and some of the soup spilled out, burning her tongue.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Zhan immediately put down his chopsticks, reached out to lift her chin, and looked at her carefully.
His thumb gently stroked the rosy lips. He saw that the tongue, which was originally as delicate as a flower petal, was now a little red and swollen. Lu Zhan's eyes dimmed when he saw this small piece of tenderness.
“…I accidentally got burned.”
Qingdai also felt ashamed that she was such an adult, but she could still get burned while eating.
"Why are you eating so fast? This whole jar is all yours."
Lu Zhan complained like this, but he still used chopsticks to pinch open all the dumplings and blew on them. However, he felt something was wrong after blowing on them, so he put them down as if nothing had happened.
"It won't be hot anymore if it cools down."
Later, he complained that Qingdai was clumsy and that he had only eaten a few bites of the dumplings before he started feeding her with chopsticks.
"You are so stupid."
"…It was just an accident. I'm not stupid."
"Shut up and eat."
“…”
“…”
Zhao Xuechun stared at everyone with wide eyes, pretending to be a piece of wood.
In fact, she felt like she was really stupid because the two young men in front of her didn't notice her at all.
Zhao Xuechun's eyes were wandering over the rare dumplings. She hadn't smelled any meat in all the days she had been in the countryside, let alone seen dumplings stuffed with meat.
She glanced to the side again and stared at the man with her watery eyes, as if she was weak and unable to take care of herself.
It's simply unbearable to watch!
Youngsters nowadays...be careful of the influence, there is someone breathing here!

Wang Yanmei spent the whole day picking peanuts in the paddy fields today. Her trouser legs were covered in mud, and her feet were covered in dirt. There was also that smell, and she almost died when she entered the fields!
She sat on the edge of the field and sighed that her pants were ruined and were covered with dirty mud.
It was getting dark, and she hadn't finished picking the peanuts. The reason was that she was walking in the paddy field with one foot deep and one foot shallow. She didn't want to work anymore before she even got in. So the whole day was like skipping stones on the water, and she didn't get any work done.
The educated youth assigned to the same group as her had no choice but to work hard in the fields and do her share of the work.
Now this female educated youth is really pampered. She complains about pain in her palms before she can pick a few peanuts, and sinks into the mud before she takes two steps and can't walk anymore. In this state, she can't even work in the fields, let alone work. She should be thankful that she doesn't hold back.
Wang Yanmei returned to her residence to get some water to wash herself, then sat on the bed and sighed. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Who had taken away her job as a clerk?
She observed all day today but still couldn't figure out who the new clerk was. She will continue observing from tomorrow. She wants to see who is so sneaky and deceitful!
