The autumn harvest in Northeast China begins on September 22nd, with all the educated youth and villagers working together in the fields.
When Liu Yuan and Feng Niaoniao returned to the educated youth compound, they saw two people standing at the entrance of their courtyard.
As she approached, she frowned. Before she could speak, she heard an accusation: "Er Ya, you came to the countryside with our Xiao Wan, but you live in a detached house by yourself, while she has to squeeze into such a small room with those other people?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Niaoniao glanced at the aggrieved Liu Wan beside her, then at the silent Liu Yuan. She remained silent, but showed no intention of leaving.
Yun Yi glanced at Feng Niaoniao, who had no intention of leaving, and understood that she had a good relationship with Liu Yuan and wanted to support her. He nodded to Feng Niaoniao and was about to return to his own courtyard to cook.
When Liu Wan's mother saw Yun Yi, who was somewhat disheveled from the autumn harvest, her eyes lit up. "This brat! This male educated youth is good-looking, and he has a refined air that is not common among rural people. He must come from an extraordinary family. Shouldn't we grab a man like this?"
She immediately asked, "Is this man also one of the educated youth sent here?"
Yun Yi walked into his courtyard as if he hadn't heard her, and said before closing the door, "Niao Niao, come over for dinner later."
Feng Niaoniao immediately smiled and said to Yun Yi, "Okay, I'll watch the excitement for a while and then go over."
Liu Wan's mother was taken aback. These two were a couple? She looked at Feng Niaoniao more carefully. Well, apart from being able to tell that this female educated youth was relatively tall and quite thin, she couldn't tell anything else.
Because Feng Niaoniao was afraid of getting a tan during the autumn harvest, she wore a straw hat and a mask that Qian Duoduo had made for her, only revealing her big eyes.
Even Liu Yuan was dressed like this, and she said somewhat uncomfortably, "Er Ya, why didn't you get a set like this for our Xiao Wan? Look how sunburned Xiao Wan is, her skin is peeling!"
Liu Yuan said coldly, "Isn't that even better? After shedding a few layers of skin, you won't be so shameless!"
Feng Niaoniao couldn't help but chuckle, then immediately put on an 'I didn't mean to' expression, waved her hand and said, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to just now. I have a low threshold for laughter, I just couldn't help it."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wan's mother immediately raised her voice, saying, "What kind of person are you? What business is it of yours what we're saying? And what are you doing standing here? Mind your own business!"
Feng Niaoniao glanced at Liu Wan, who was holding her mother's arm, and said, "Liu Wan, you and your mother are blocking the road and you still think you're right?"
Liu Wan immediately put on a pitiful look and said, "Feng Zhiqing, I'm sorry, we just wanted to find my younger sister."
Feng Niaoniao snorted and said, "You know you're sorry, so don't do things like this again, okay?"
When Liu Wan's mother saw Feng Niaoniao's assertive demeanor, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this person had some kind of background?
She turned to look at Liu Wan, who gently tugged at her hand.
Liu Wan's mother immediately turned her attention to Liu Yuan: "Er Ya, I'm tired from walking. Quickly make me something to eat, preferably with meat."
Liu Yuan's expression had turned sour: "I'll give you a piece of my mind!"
Liu Wan's mother exclaimed, "Liu Erya, do you want to die?"
Feng Niaoniao stepped forward: "Who are you? Why are you shouting and threatening to kill me here?"
Liu Wan's mother said, "I am her second aunt, and I am her elder."
Liu Yuan pulled Feng Niaoniao back before she could speak, and stepped forward: "Liu Wan, we originally came from the same Liu family. Your father is my father's younger brother. Logically speaking, we should be the closest people."
But why did we have a bad relationship since we were little?
When I was young, I didn't understand much. Later, I gradually understood, and I understood a lot more. Every time we met, I would get scolded, and even beaten, because you acted like you were wronged but didn't say anything, but every action and word you made was pointed at.
Later I figured I could only avoid you, so I stopped going to the same school as you, but you still haunted me.
I came here as a sent-down youth, and you followed me. What? You think you've been taking advantage of me since we were kids?
"Tch! You've been here so long and still don't understand? The emperor's reach is far away here; your good deeds won't spread far and wide."
Liu Wan's expression changed.
Hearing Liu Yuan's words, Liu Wan's mother turned to look at Liu Wan and noticed that Liu Wan's expression was not good. She had come here this time hoping to see her daughter and that her daughter could control Liu Yuan like she did when they were little.
But now it seems that things are not as they imagined. Not long after Liu Wan came here as an educated youth, her elder brother's family's attitude towards them has changed a lot. The advantages they used to be able to get are no longer available, even with the old lady's intervention.
This is what angered her the most. Everyone says it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Her older brother's family worked hard to earn money, and they could get it whenever they asked, but now they don't.
Could it be that Liu Wan came here and angered this brat?
With this suspicion in mind, Liu Wan's mother looked at her daughter with scrutiny and noticed that her face was a little pale and she was biting her lip. These were all small actions that showed that her daughter was feeling guilty.
There was nothing she didn't understand, but being a shrewd person, she said, "Alright, you're still cousins from the same father, so saying so much is just between you two. I'm tired, Er Ya, open the door, I want to go in and rest for a while."
Liu Yuan rolled her eyes at her: "Open the door? Open what door? That's my house door, what's it to you? You're just asking for trouble. Your daughter is over there, you're not my mother, what does it have to do with me!"
Liu Wan's mother's face turned ugly: "Aren't you afraid I'll go to your boss?"
When Liu Yuan saw the squad leader Qian Xiang walking over, he said, "The one carrying a hoe in front is our squad leader, and the old man behind him with willow branches behind his back is the brigade leader. They are all leaders. Go find them!"
You'd better hurry up and find someone, and it would be best if they punished me by making me stay home and reflect on my actions instead of going to work!
As Liu Wan's mother looked over at Liu Yuan, she was also stunned. "These are the leaders? These are just two farmers! You can't even think before you lie!"
Qian Sheng had no idea that he was being secretly criticized. He and Qian Xiang had also returned from the soybean fields. This year's soybean harvest was quite good, and the main ingredient for the tofu shop had been found!
When Liu Yuan saw the captain passing by, he immediately greeted him, "Captain, you just got back?"
The wind blew gently and said hello.
Even Liu Wan, who was originally supposed to be a quail, said, "Hello, Captain."
This forced Liu Wan's mother to admit that the little old man was indeed the leader!
Qian Sheng said goodbye to them and was about to leave. Too many women would be a hassle; it was better to have his own home, with just his wife and Duo Duo.
As for my daughter-in-law, that's my son's business, it has nothing to do with me!
