At this time, everyone was busy harvesting sugarcane. Gu Ranzhou, carrying two thermos bottles and a basket, walked easily towards the land that Lu Zhenchuan and Lin Feng were in charge of. There were not many people on their land. After all, there were already three relatively efficient laborers on that land, so there were only a few people around at most.
Originally, Gu Ranzhou only carried a thermos and a basket, nothing more. Later, as he was walking on the road, he thought that although sugar water could replenish energy, it could not quench thirst in the hot weather, so he entered the space and refilled it with a bottle of boiled water. As a result, he was carrying two thermos in his hands instead of one.
Lu Zhenchuan frowned and said, "Why are you here? It's so hot, if you don't stay home, you'll be in such a scorching sun."
Gu Ranzhou was not angry, because he knew Lu Zhenchuan cared about him: "I'll bring you some water."
Lu Zhenchuan walked out of the field first, followed by Lin Feng.
Gu Ranzhou took out two bowls, unplugged the thermos and poured a bowl of sugar water for each of them.
The two of them cut it and took a sip. Although the work was not that tiring, the weather was really hot. After drinking a sip of the sugar water, it was icy and cool, very refreshing!
Gu Ranzhou took out a smaller towel and wiped Lu Zhenchuan's sweat: "How do you feel?"
After Lin Feng finished drinking the remaining half bowl of sugar, he said, "Don't mention it, Brother Gu. This is also my first time experiencing farm work in my lifetime."
Gu Ranzhou unplugged another thermos and brought him a bowl of boiled water.
"Ouch... be careful!" The scream of a female educated youth not far from them suddenly came into their ears.
The three of them looked up and saw the young woman sitting on the ground with her hands covered in blood! Her body was still shaking, and her hands were trembling.
Gu Ranzhou's gaze shifted to her hand, and he discovered that there was a deep cut on her hand. The sickle she used to cut sugarcane had long been thrown on the ground by her. It was possible that she had accidentally cut her hand while cutting sugarcane.
At this time, another female educated youth who had a good relationship with her came over and quickly helped her up.
The female educated youth asked worriedly, "Are you okay? Your hands are bleeding."
Hu Mofen raised her cut hand with her other hand and said, "My hand hurts so much. Feng...Fengjiao is bleeding."
The educated youth took a look at her wound, but she wasn't a doctor, so she wanted to take her aside to bandage it. "It's okay, it's just a cut. Just bandage it and it will be fine. How could you be so careless?"
The educated youth turned to the village chief and said, "Chief, Mofen has a cut on her hand. I'll take her to get the wound bandaged."
Gu Jianqiang nodded and said, "Go, go."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to cutting sugarcane.
Gu Ranzhou also saw Gu Jianqiang and said, "Fourth brother, the sun is so hot, come over and have a glass of water?"
Gu Jianqiang looked at the sun and replied, "Okay."
Gu Ranzhou poured a bowl of sugar water. Gu Jianqiang took the bowl and took a sip, thinking that this was ice. Never mind, it was considered that Xiaozhou was capable.
Gu Jianqiang also knew that Gu Ranzhou was capable, and some things were best left unattended.
Gu Ranzhou was just about to pick up Lu Zhenchuan's sickle to go cut sugarcane when Lu Zhenchuan stopped him.
Lu Zhenchuan: "Don't touch the knife. Once the water is delivered, go home. The sun is too strong now."
Lin Feng agreed, "Yes, Brother Gu, why don't you go back? We are all you need, and you have children at home."
Gu Ranzhou was suddenly stopped by Lu Zhenchuan. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Okay, I'll leave the water here and I'm leaving."!
Lu Zhenchuan nodded: "Well, let's go back."
After Gu Ranzhou left, Gu Jianqiang said to Lu Zhenchuan, "You are a good boy."
Originally, when Gu Jianqiang knew that this boy was with Xiaozhou, he was still wondering whether this boy would let Xiaozhou down. But looking at the current situation, this boy is also a caring person. Not letting Xiaozhou go to the fields to work is also good for the child. When Xiaozhou returned to the village, he felt it was a pity. After all, with Xiaozhou's ability, he could definitely make a good living outside.
Lu Zhenchuan smiled faintly: "This is as it should be."
Soon after Gu Ranzhou left, Lu Zhenchuan began to concentrate on cutting sugarcane, and Lin Feng also helped.
They were working in the village and had only been there for a short while when they saw a lot of strange things.
Some of the newly arrived female and male educated youth worked hard, but some of them tried to cheat and evade work points from time to time.
There were also some female educated youth who had pretty features and loved to act coquettishly. To be honest, they were not very pretty, but among a group of short people, there was a girl who was taller than the other short ones, and she acted coquettishly to get the men in the village to help them with their work.
Men who understand the situation will naturally ignore the other party, but there are many unmarried men in the village who naturally want to find a wife.
So Lu Zhenchuan didn't think much of it. After all, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. He was concentrating on the sugarcane field and didn't pay much attention.
In the cowshed, the old men could only walk around in the cowshed and could not leave the door at all.
Mr. Zheng unplugged the cork, took out a bowl, poured himself a bowl, and took a sip. He had to say that this syrup was really good, with enough ingredients, but he couldn't get used to it being too sweet.
Then he poured a bowl for a few old friends.
Upon hearing this, several old men picked up their bowls and drank the sugar water in them in big gulps.
"Yeah, it's really good."
Mr. Zheng nodded with a smile: "I finally understand. We are lucky to be able to come here!"
When the old men heard what Mr. Zheng said, they all smiled happily. They had never had a peaceful life since they were framed. But after coming here, they could eat whatever they wanted and there was no one to watch them. Although they could not leave the bullpen, this was much better than being watched every day in the imperial capital.
"That's right! This sweet soup is indeed much more delicious than before."
Mr. Lin said, "I don't know if I can still taste this flavor if I return to the capital. I guess it's impossible."
Old Master Xu said, "If we return to the capital in the future, will Lu not go back?"
"That's true!"
"Isn't it? But to be honest, although this place is a bit poor in the mountains, it's really nice here!"
A group of old men chatted with each other, their faces beaming with joy and expressions of great satisfaction, as if they had returned to the days when they were powerful figures in the imperial capital. Many of them even felt their noses sore and their eyes moist.
"Okay, okay, stop talking and drink."
Mr. Zheng waved his hand and told everyone to shut up.
Several people picked up their bowls and continued to drink the sugar water in big gulps. Soon, they had finished it, and every old man had a happy expression on his face.
