"Feeling guilty now? Hmph, I don't need you to arrange work for me. I won't starve without these work points. You wait, I'll definitely find someone to take charge. I won't let you have absolute power!"
Li Nannan angrily turned and left.
The sweet potato field was already full of vines, and to make digging easier, the vines had been cut beforehand and left haphazardly to the side. She hadn't lowered her haughty head to watch where she was going, and being unfamiliar with the field, she tripped over a sweet potato vine and flew off like an angry bird.
It crashed directly into a pile of sweet potatoes a meter away.
"Pfft~"
"Pfft, hahaha~~"
Once one person started, the others couldn't help but burst into laughter, hands on their hips. Aunt Li asked her in a cheerful tone.
"Seriously, you're such a grown man, can't you watch where you're going? How could you fall like that?"
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny! You didn't even bother to help me up. You're all heartless and don't know how to unite! You're the ones who are ruining the unity between the educated youth and the team members. I'm going to report you! Waaah!"
Li Nannan covered her face, climbed out of the pile of sweet potatoes, and ran away crying.
However, she didn't learn her lesson and still dared to walk with her eyes closed. She had only run two meters when she tripped over a sweet potato vine and fell again, this time landing face down, which was even more embarrassing.
"Hahaha, how could anyone be so stupid!"
Xu Zijiang's face nearly contorted from looking at her. He raised his eyes speechlessly, not wanting to look at this annoying idiot, and turned to look at his future wife.
Yu Jiu felt uneasy under his intensely focused gaze and couldn't help but lower her head, protesting softly.
Why are you looking at me like that?
"Just take a look, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Xu Zi took a step toward her. They were already close, and he moved even closer, their arms almost touching. His hot breath enveloped Yu Jiu's slender figure.
He lowered his head and continued to stare intently at Yu Jiu, asking her in a low, hoarse voice, his words carrying a strange sense of grievance, like a big wolfhound that had lost a fight outside and needed its owner to comfort and take charge.
Yu Jiu was amused by his own imagination. The big wolfhound was quite compatible with him, but losing a fight was not like him. He was tall and strong, with hard, muscular arms. One punch from him could knock out the opponent's front teeth.
"What's so funny? Am I funny, or what I'm saying? Hmm?"
He lowered his voice, his expression dark and unreadable, looking somewhat dangerous, but he quickly changed the subject and said considerately.
"Smile more if you like it; you look good when you smile."
Yu Jiu laughed for real this time. He really put on a show. She smiled and said in a friendly manner, as if they were buddies.
"Don't worry, I know you were just trying to annoy Li Nannan, I won't take it seriously."
"But Captain, are you sure you won't get into trouble by just making her leave like this? What if she actually reports you and it gets to the higher-ups? Then you'll be in trouble even if you weren't.
As Yu Jiu spoke, she frowned and looked at him with some concern.
Kindness, justice, and good looks are the advantages of her savior, but his shortcomings are also quite obvious: domineering, irritable, impulsive. Hmm, Li Nannan might actually be able to take his captain's position!
This era is too special. If you offend someone, the higher-ups will investigate you severely, and you might end up in trouble even if you were fine before. No, she can't just watch her savior lose his position as captain! Things might get even worse!
Yu Jiu pursed her lips, her chin clenched tightly, and her aura suddenly sharpened.
Oh, it's still just a little wildcat that only shows its claws. Xu Zijiang raised an eyebrow, suddenly in a good mood, and wanted to rub her round little head.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Being too confident is not a good thing. Yu Jiu hesitated, wanting to advise him to take precautions, but he didn't know how to say it. Would he think he was meddling?
"Nothing will happen, don't worry, I have connections. Let's get to work."
Xu Zijiang curled his lips, and under the cover of moonlight, gently pressed down on her fluffy hair. Then he strode away, scolding her irritably as he went.
"What are you doing, watching the show! Don't you want your work points anymore, or do you not want to leave work today?"
"Hiss, you can't touch a tiger's backside, and you can't watch the captain's antics either."
Everyone quickly turned around and diligently dug up sweet potatoes, digging and digging in the large field until they unearthed big, bright red sweet potatoes!
"Xiao Jiu, you and the captain..."
Yu Caihong finally came to her senses from this series of shocks. She hesitated and opened her mouth, not worried about Li Nannan, but instead asked about the relationship between Yu Jiu and the captain.
"Yesterday was my first time here."
The phrase "a little wine can dispel a thousand pounds" implies that it's impossible for her to have any improper relationship with the captain.
"Too."
Yu Caihong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, while Yu Jiu raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Sister Rainbow, you don't want me to have any relationship with the captain?"
Could it be that Rainbow Sister likes the Captain? I didn't see that coming. Rainbow Sister seems quite afraid of the Captain. Is it that she both loves and fears him? Or is it that the Captain already has a wife, and she's afraid I'll become the other woman?
Yu Jiu's imagination ran wild, but Yu Caihong's only reason was...
"cough."
She coughed, and her face instantly turned red, like a mountain of azaleas.
Xu Zi had just given a reprimand, and everyone went back to work obediently. There was no one around, so they weren't worried about being overheard. Yu Caihong hesitated for a while, but decided to tell Yu Jiu after all.
She covered her mouth with her hand, leaned close to Yu Jiu's ear, and whispered something almost inaudibly.
“I overheard the men in the team talking about the captain; he’s very big.”
Yu Jiu: ? ? ? Where is he old? No way, he looks only in his early twenties. Although he is mature, he still has the vitality of a young person.
Seeing Yu Jiu's utter confusion, Yu Caihong blushed even more, as if she had applied two pounds of rouge to her face. She stomped her foot and said, embarrassed and annoyed.
"Oh, where else? It's the men. You have no idea how vulgar the men here are. They speak without restraint and like to compare sizes, saying that the captain's is bigger than both of them. Everyone knows that."
I'm worried that if you get together with him, your life won't be harmonious. After all, you're so thin and frail; you can't withstand much hardship."
····
Yu Jiu finally understood what she was talking about, and her face flushed instantly, as red as if she had applied several pounds of rouge, just like Yu Caihong. Speechless and helpless, she covered her forehead. My God, how did the topic jump to this? Sister Caihong is too bold! It's broad daylight, how could an unmarried girl like her bring this up!
No, the sun hasn't risen yet; strictly speaking, it's still early morning.
Yu Jiu looked up at the sky, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She was afraid that she would never dare to look directly at the captain's face again, nor would she dare to look down an inch.
"Really, you have to believe me. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to ask Xiao Su."
Yu Caihong panicked, thinking that Yu Jiu didn't believe her and wanted to drag her to ask another female educated youth.
When she was younger and more naive, she had a crush on the captain, but he had a terrible temper and was too big for his genitals. She thought that if she really married him, he would torture her to death, so she quickly gave up the idea.
"I believe you, Rainbow Sister, let's get to work."
Yu Jiu, both amused and exasperated, pulled her aside and asked again, "Does she have no shame?"
Because this incident was so impactful, she was distracted while working, and the phrase would keep flashing through her mind. She would then desperately try to push it out of her head, and she spent the entire morning in a daze.
"How are you doing? Are you getting used to it? Is this job tiring?"
Xu Zi appeared and disappeared like a ghost. He was carrying a basket, his sleeves, which had been washed until they were almost white, rolled up. He walked up to Yu Jiu without anyone noticing. His rough but handsome face kept getting closer, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat arrogant.
Yu Jiu was startled by the sound. She was squatting down picking up sweet potatoes when she was so frightened that she fell back down. Then, her eyelids drooped, and she instinctively made eye contact with a huge object.
