In order to avoid gossip, Xu Jiashu pretended that he was meeting Jiang Jingyu for the first time and introduced himself to her step by step.
Jiang Jingyu curled the corners of her mouth and acted with him.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Jingyu."
Jiang Jingyu stretched out her hand and held Xu Jiashu's hand together.
Her hand was so soft as if it had no bones, Xu Jiashu subconsciously squeezed it.
The person he had been thinking about was right in front of him, and Xu Jiashu's ears turned red.
After seeing the two people holding hands, Chen Jianghe felt a little jealous. He took a few big steps forward to separate their hands and held hands with Xu Jiashu.
"Comrade Jiashu, nice to meet you. I'm new here, please take care of me!"
Xu Jiashu was a little unhappy after being forcibly separated. He deliberately increased his strength to hold Chen Jianghe's hand back and looked at him with a forced smile.
"Okay, no problem!"
Chen Jianghe's face turned pale with pain, but he didn't want to show it in front of Jiang Jingyu, so he had to force himself to smile, which was uglier than crying.
Xu Jiashu had a rogue smile on his face. He was more than half a head taller than Chen Jianghe. He looked down at Chen Jianghe and felt inexplicably disliked for him.
Chen Jianghe didn't want to make a sound, but Xu Jiashu didn't agree with him, so he increased his strength.
"ah!"
Finally, Chen Jianghe couldn't bear it anymore and screamed.
The others were unaware of their secret rivalry and all looked towards Chen Jianghe.
"Captain, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yanqiu was the first to rush over, looking at Chen Jianghe nervously.
At this time, Xu Jiashu had already let go of Chen Jianghe's hand. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chen Jianghe forcibly resisted the urge to shake his hand away and smiled sullenly.
"No, it's okay. I heard that speaking loudly in the mountains can cause an echo. I'll try and see if there's anything."
The others did not suspect anything and even explained it to Chen Jianghe.
"My dear little comrade, there's no echo if you shout here. If you want to hear an echo, go to the road at the entrance of the village next to the mountain. The echo there is louder!"
Faced with the kind-hearted villagers, Chen Jianghe had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll go there and try it when I'm free."
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, you're new to the village and probably don't know how to do this. Wait aside and I'll help you!"
When looking at Jiang Jingyu, Xu Jiashu always had a smile on his face.
He carried a hoe and came to the plot of land that the village chief had divided for Jiang Jingyu. Before starting work, he turned around and shouted to the village chief.
"Village Chief, the work points should be credited to Comrade Xiao Jiang. I did it for her!"
“No need to worry!”
The village chief waved at Xu Jiashu without even turning his head.
Xu Jiashu worked without hesitation. Seeing this, Zhou Jie and Lin Pingan also picked up their hoes and started to work in the same way.
Seeing Xu Jiashu come all the way to work for Jiang Jingyu, Zhao Yuzhen and Li Yanqiu felt jealous and looked at her sourly.
"Hey, Comrade Xiao Jiang is really capable. He just arrived and he has attracted men to work for you!"
"That's right. Those who know are seeing it for the first time, and those who don't know would think it's a lover!"
Jiang Jingyu did not tolerate these two people who spoke in a sarcastic way again and again. She looked at them with a half-smile.
"What? Are you two jealous? If you're jealous, just find a man to do the work for you!"
"you!"
Zhao Yuzhen and Li Yanqiu were choked so badly that their faces turned red but they couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
Jiang Jingyu glanced at the two of them, then looked at Zhou Qingqing beside her.
"Qingqing, let's get to work. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go back."
Zhou Qingqing took Jiang Jingyu's arm and burst out laughing when she turned around.
"Xiao Jiang, good job!"
Zhou Qingqing, who was originally obsessed with looks, liked Jiang Jingyu even more after seeing her personality.
Zhou Qingqing returned to the plot of land assigned to her and gently pushed Jiang Jingyu who wanted to help her with the work.
"I can do it myself. The blisters on your feet haven't healed yet, go and rest over there!"
Although Jiang Jingyu didn't cry out in pain during the whole journey, Zhou Qingqing still couldn't believe that the blisters on her feet healed overnight. She saw with her own eyes how big the blisters were, and she had picked them open with her own hands!
Jiang Jingyu came to Xu Jiashu with a hoe and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
"Your foot is injured and you can't get out of the fields. I wanted to help you earn some work points. But you, didn't you agree to take a few days off? Why are you back in the fields?"
"I popped the blisters on my feet yesterday and applied some medicine. They're fine now."
Jiang Jingyu picked up the hoe and turned the soil like Xu Jiashu.
Seeing this, Xu Jiashu stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her. He was so excited just now that he noticed that Jiang Jingyu was not wearing a hat.
"Why don't you wear a hat?"
"I was in a hurry to pack and forgot to put it in my bag."
"It's not too hot now because the sun has just risen. It will get hotter and hotter later. Wearing a hat will make it better."
Xu Jiashu put down the hoe, untied the hat on his head and put it on Jiang Jingyu.
Her head was too small and his hat was a little big for her. In order to make the hat more secure, Xu Jiashu bent down and tightened the hat rope on Jiang Jingyu's chin.
"Okay, this way I won't get any sun exposure."
As Xu Jiashu spoke, he shifted his gaze to Jiang Jingyu's face, only to find that she was looking straight at him.
His ears felt hot and he quickly looked away, picking up the hoe again and turning the soil.
Chen Jianghe, who was given a warning by Xu Jiashu on the spot, had been paying attention to the situation on Jiang Jingyu's side. After seeing Xu Jiashu put the hat on Jiang Jingyu with his own hands and getting so close to Jiang Jingyu, he was so angry that he almost bit his teeth!
Damn it!
Where did this brat come from!
Chen Jianghe stared at the two of them intently and slammed the hoe in his hand heavily to the ground to vent his anger.
However, apart from Li Yanqiu, no one noticed him at all.
Li Yanqiu looked in the direction Chen Jianghe was looking, and after seeing Xu Jiashu talking and laughing with Jiang Jingyu, he suddenly felt that it would be nice to have a man close to Jiang Jingyu.
Only in this way can Chen Jianghe give up on Jiang Jingyu and turn his attention to herself.
After a morning, everyone had different thoughts.
With Xu Jiashu's help, Jiang Jingyu has completed three quarters of today's task, and the remaining quarter can be completed early in the afternoon.
After noon, Zhou Qingqing was very perceptive and found an excuse to leave first.
Xu Jiashu and Jiang Jingyu walked side by side naturally.
During a casual chat, Xu Jiashu mentioned that he wanted to expand the pig farm. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingyu actually supported him very much, which made Xu Jiashu more certain of his idea.
After Xu Jiashu sent Jiang Jingyu to the vicinity of the educated youth institute, he turned around and went back home, wanting to urge his father to make a decision as soon as possible.
When she reached the gate of the educated youth institute, Jiang Jingyu remembered that she had forgotten to return the hat to Xu Jiashu. When she turned around, Xu Jiashu was no longer there.
Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the educated youth institute, an angry voice came from behind her.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, you can't get too close to him!"
