Song Jiajia leaned on her mother's shoulder, her eyes crinkling with laughter, looking just like a spirited little fox.
Looking at her daughter's carefree attitude, Song's mother felt even more worried.
But Song Jiajia kept shaking her hand back and forth, and she finally broke down and burst out laughing along with her.
The mother and daughter enjoyed this warm and harmonious time together.
The next day, Shen Shi still got up early.
The thought of going to the county with Song Jiajia tomorrow made Chen Shi so excited that he couldn't sleep.
Even while working in the fields, he kept humming a song.
Thinking that I wouldn't be working tomorrow, I still needed to tell the team leader. Usually, after working for a while, the team leader would go to other places to check on things, to make sure no one was just doing the work half-heartedly.
While working in the fields, Shen Shi kept an eye on the movements of the brigade leader, Song Youfu. Around ten o'clock, Song's father moved to Shen Shi's plot of land.
Since Shen Shi had started dating someone else's daughter, he naturally wanted to make a good impression on Song's father.
Upon seeing Song's father, he couldn't wait to go to him.
Shen Shi walked up to Song's father and said sincerely, "Captain, I was just about to come find you. The autumn harvest is over now, and I'd like to ask for a day off tomorrow to pick up the package that was sent from home."
After speaking, he flashed his signature smile, looking particularly energetic.
“Okay, you haven’t had a break in over a month. Go to town and have a good look around.” Captain Song readily agreed, his tone still showing concern for Chen Shi.
This surprised Shen Shi somewhat.
As the head of the Songjiawan brigade, Song's father was usually stern and rarely smiled.
Why are you being so gentle today?
Actually, this is because Song's father heard from Song's mother last night that his daughter was dating Shen Shi.
Song's father already had a very good impression of Shen Shi.
The young man was handsome and cultured, and came from a well-off family. He and his daughter were a perfect match, both in terms of looks and talent.
The more I looked at Chen Shi, the more pleasing he became, and I couldn't help but offer him a few more words of concern.
Seeing Shen Shi's expression, Song's father also felt that he had been too obvious. But he couldn't take back what he had said, so he simply turned and left without giving Shen Shi a chance to reply.
Watching Song's father's departing figure, Shen Shi scratched his head, wondering why the brigade leader was so unpredictable today.
If I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it. When I'm feeling down, I'll bend down and get back to work.
After a busy day, Chen Shi returned to the educated youth settlement, ate a meal, tidied himself up briefly, and went to bed.
He needs to go to bed early and get up early to be in the best condition for tomorrow's date.
Even though Shen Shi was asleep with his eyes closed, you could still see the smile in his eyes and brows.
He must have had a wonderful dream, and slept soundly all night.
Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, dappling the ground. As the sun rose, everything gradually awakened.
When Chen Shi was preoccupied with something, he woke up earlier than usual.
After washing up with some cold water, I felt refreshed and my drowsiness immediately disappeared.
After Chen Shi washed up, everyone in the room gradually woke up.
Chen went inside and found a set of clothes, changing into the classic combination of a white shirt and black pants.
The dinner table was rather deserted during the meal, as Deng Jie, Liu Yiyi, and Wang Gang were all absent.
However, during this period, Deng Jie and Wang Gang remained at odds. They might have started fighting somewhere, and Liu Yiyi might have gone to mediate again.
While pondering this, Chen buried his head in his food and didn't ask any further questions.
Liu Tianqing looked at Shen Shi, who was dressed particularly smartly, and asked, "Is Shen Zhiqing going to town today?"
Shen Shi nodded to Liu Tianqing and said, "The things sent from home have arrived. I'll go pick them up. Is there anything you need me to bring, Brother Liu?"
"What a coincidence! There are seven of us from the educated youth group, and four of us went to town today. It's really a coincidence that we all went at the same time." Before Liu Tianqing could answer, a woman's voice interrupted their conversation.
The speaker was Wang Fang, Liu Yiyi's former best friend.
She had always liked Deng Jie, and Liu Yiyi knew this.
Liu Yiyi, that oddball, not only didn't tell him about her relationship with Deng Jie, but she even taught Wang Fang how to pursue him.
After Liu Yiyi's anxious reaction during the incident involving Deng Jie and Wang Gang, the people at the educated youth settlement had a general idea of the relationship between the two.
Wang Fang was furious and forced Liu Yiyi to be beaten up.
Knowing that Wang Fang wasn't after him, Chen Shi remained silent.
But Shen was quite surprised to learn that Deng Jie and the other two were all going to town.
After finishing his meal, he went back to his room to get his money and tickets, and confirmed with Liu Tianqing that he didn't need to bring anything. Then he went out.
Like Uncle Niu, he would stop and wait under the banyan tree at the village entrance.
Shen arrived quite early, but the oxcart hadn't come yet, though several elderly women were already waiting.
Shen Shi flashed his signature smile and greeted each of the older women.
He was well-liked in the village, and the older women were quite welcoming when he came.
The most enthusiastic one was Aunt Tian.
Last time in the field, she didn't even have a chance to say much before she fainted. This time, she finally got her chance.
As soon as Aunt Tian saw Shen, she praised him, saying, "Shen, the educated youth, is indeed a knowledgeable and cultured person from the city. Just look at his demeanor; he's truly extraordinary."
Aunt Tian's round face was so smiling that her eyes narrowed into slits.
Having lived for over fifty years, she recognized the fabric Chen Shi was wearing as something she had never even touched before.
It seems that Shen, the educated youth, comes from a very well-off family.
Chen Shi couldn't very well praise himself along with Aunt Tian, so he could only say, "Aunt Tian, you're joking. I don't have any grandeur. In terms of knowledge, you should be the one who has more than me."
