Gu Ranzhou carried the basket and went straight home. When he got home, the two children had already swept the yard clean and fed the rabbits.
Speaking of this rabbit, it has been raised for several months. Rabbits have a strong reproductive ability, so they have to be "on the table" from time to time. If it really doesn't work, Gu Ranzhou will let An An take it away and give it away. Gu Ranzhou never lets An An stay in contact with the rabbit for too long. He is afraid that An An will develop feelings for the rabbit. After all, rabbits have to be "on the table".
The two children sat quietly on the stools. Gu Ranzhou carried the basket to the kitchen and took out the two small kettles on the stove.
Gu Ranzhou guessed that the two children must be thirsty.
"dad."
Gu Ranzhou gave each of them a small kettle filled with sugar water: "Drink it, you must be very thirsty."
Then he asked again: "Are you very tired?"
The two children shook their heads and said, "No, we just feel a little hot and thirsty."
"Dad, this water is so sweet!"
Gu Ranzhou: "Looking at the time, it seems okay. Why don't you guys go back to your room and play?"
Lu Haoyu asked, "What about you, Dad (uncle)?"
Gu Ranzhou said, "I'll go get them some water."
Lu Haoyu: "Uncle, why don't you let me go?"
Gu Ranzhou shook his head and said, "You can't go. Even if you can carry the thermos, you can't walk far. Be good and go back to your room to watch anime."
The two children nodded and said, "Okay then!"
Gu Yu'an and Lu Haoyu obediently took their small kettles back to the room. Gu Ranzhou went back to the kitchen, picked up the thermos, and took another small basket to put a few bowls in it. He walked outside with the basket. Although it was hot at this time, the sun had not yet risen above their heads.
In the field.
A young woman with pigtails said, sweating profusely, "Village chief, can we take a break?"
When others heard this, they all echoed it.
Gu Jianqiang shook his head and said, "No, the sun hasn't risen to the top of our heads yet. Once it does, it will be too hot and it will be difficult to work." But he thought to himself, these kids have only been working for a short time and they are already saying they are tired.
There is no need to mention Lu Zhenchuan. Lin Feng practices ancient martial arts and is much stronger than others in terms of physical strength. In addition, the meals they eat are all prepared with spiritual spring water added by Gu Ranzhou, so their bodies are naturally many times better than others.
Lu Zhenchuan was assigned to the village chief's group.
Lu Zhenchuan got the hang of it quickly because he had done farm work before. Although it was Lin Feng's first time, he was a quick learner and got the hang of it quickly too.
Lu Zhenchuan took Lin Feng to a place to cut sugarcane.
When Gu Jianqiang was working nearby, he found that Lin Feng was very steady and meticulous in his work, and he couldn't help but marvel at it. He thought this young man would definitely not be able to do it, but he didn't expect that he would get the hang of it so quickly.
When Lu Zhenchuan first brought the young people here, the villagers were a little resistant. After all, everyone was afraid that the young people from the city would be like those tender-skinned educated youth, always procrastinating at work. But now the villagers see that the young people can get the hang of things very quickly, so they are not so resistant anymore.
Moreover, there are not many city people who are handsome and can do farm work. This made the women in the village secretly consider whether they should go to his house to propose marriage, marry their daughters to him, or recruit him as a son-in-law. But after thinking about it, they knew that he was Gu Ranzhou's relative, and it would not be so easy to do so.
Soon everyone regained their spirits and started cutting sugarcane faster.
"Village chief, who is that person brought by Comrade Lu? He shouldn't be the educated youth who came to our village, right? I haven't heard that there is an educated youth coming to our village to work in the countryside?" asked a slightly older woman.
Gu Jianqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a breath and said, "Yes, he is Xiaozhou's distant cousin."
The woman asked inquiringly, "Distant cousin?! City guy?"
"Um."
The woman's eyes lit up, and she said quickly, "That's great! All the girls in our village are still unmarried. He's a good fit! He's strong, handsome, and able to endure hardships."
Gu Jianqiang's expression turned grim. "Don't even think about it. If things get fussy, you'll just be asking for trouble."
The woman's smile froze, but soon returned to normal.
"Look how handsome he is! Which girl in our village is worthy of him?"
"That's not your family's turn. She's from the city, how could she look down on a peasant!" Gu Jianqiang snorted coldly. He knew the family situation of the woman in front of him. She gave birth to two girls and couldn't give birth to a son. Now she must have set her eyes on this young man.
The woman laughed awkwardly and said, "Village Chief, please don't be angry. I just said that. Don't take it seriously. I was just saying it casually."
Gu Jianqiang looked at the woman in front of him and said… "Don't say anything random. You should think before you say something. I think you got kicked in the head by a donkey. Don't you think about what will happen if someone hears what you said?"
As soon as Gu Jianqiang said this, the woman's face turned purple. Yes, her daughter is not married yet. If this matter gets out, will her daughter still get married?
Gu Jianqiang continued to scold: "Does your daughter still have the face to see people? Does she still want to be a human being?"
“I, I…”
The woman was speechless after being scolded by Gu Jianqiang, but her anger grew stronger and stronger. She knew that the village chief was reminding her kindly, but she also knew the situation of her family, otherwise she would not have such an idea.
"Don't be angry, Village Chief. Just pretend I never said that today."
After saying that, the woman went to cut sugarcane in another direction in a dejected manner.
Gu Jianqiang looked at the woman's back and couldn't help but sigh, "What's going on?"
Gu Jianqiang turned around and took another look at the field that Lu Zhenchuan and Lin Feng were in charge of. Half of the sugarcane had been harvested, and he thought to himself that young people really have strength.
Then he glanced at the other educated youth he was leading, frowning slightly. He looked at the small plot of sugarcane they were harvesting and sighed. "Why is it so frustrating to compare yourself to others? We're all harvesting sugarcane, harvesting together, so why is there such a huge gap?"
Gu Jianqiang couldn't force them, so he could only cut the sugarcane on his own and watch them. As long as they didn't cause any trouble, it would be okay if they slacked off for a while, as long as they didn't cheat or act cunningly.
Did Gu Ranzhou know which field they were working on? After all, they had been divided into groups and started working the next day. The sugarcane field was about a kilometer away from the village. Gu Ranzhou didn't want to ride a bicycle, but instead walked over as a form of exercise.
