Chapter 22: First confession
"Afu, you have to pick a hundred kilograms every day. This trade is hard work."
Qin Fang held the steering wheel, staring straight ahead, but his tone revealed worry.
To be honest, he was not very reassured. A few dozen yuan was not a lot for him. If Ruan Fu really needed money, he could just give it to her. There was no need to work so hard.
But seeing how energetic she was just now, it was not good to disappoint her.
Ruan Fu shook her head. She was not a stubborn person who only knew how to work hard.
"Brother Qin, don't worry, I can find someone to help."
Qin Fang just thought that the other party was comforting him. After all, the strong laborers these days were busy working in the fields to earn work points. Who had time to help a girl pick mulberry leaves?
Ruan Fu pursed her lips and smiled. She had just quickly calculated in her mind that it was indeed too tiring to do this job alone. The adults in the village had to go to the fields to earn work points, so they naturally had no time to take care of her, but there were still half-grown children!
Don't take green beans as food!
These children are very skilled in climbing trees and going down rivers. They can't do other heavy work, but picking some mulberry leaves all over the mountains and plains is absolutely no problem.
Ruan Fu only needs to be responsible for collection and transportation. She buys a pound of mulberry leaves at five cents and sells them to the city. The remaining twenty-five cents in profit are all hers.
She spoke out her thoughts. To be honest, she felt like a capitalist in later generations, squeezing manpower to the extreme.
Qin Fang looked at her seriously, his expression slightly surprised.
He had never thought of this method at first. After all, it was assumed that children were not considered labor. However, Ruan Fu was very smart to use this.
As the two were talking, the car arrived at the entrance of the village.
Ruan Fu said thank you and was about to open the door to get out of the car.
"Afu," Qin Fang suddenly called her, "wait a minute, I have something to give you."
Ruan Fu rarely heard him speak in such a serious tone, and was stunned for a moment.
Looking back, she saw that the other party had just taken out a small round black stick.
It looked like a flashlight, but it seemed to be different from an ordinary flashlight, after all, there was no bulb in front.
Ruan Fu widened her eyes, and suddenly had a guess in her mind, there shouldn't be such high-tech gadgets in this day and age, right?
"Is this a flashlight?"
Qin Fang shook his head and demonstrated it to her directly.
"No, you see there is a switch here. If someone approaches you, you just need to press it and then stick it to his skin, then he will be immediately electrocuted and will not be able to cause any harm to you."
What flashlight? Ruan Fu understood now that it was actually a stun gun.
In her previous life, she had also bought a civilian one to protect herself.
But in this era, this kind of thing is hard currency and it is definitely not open to ordinary people. You can't get it just by spending money. The most important thing is to rely on connections.
Qin Fang was able to get it in such a short time, and it must have taken a lot of thought. This is more sincere than treating him to a few meals.
Ruan Fu's heart warmed, and she was speechless for a while. Where did this guy learn these tricks? He is too good at pleasing girls.
Seeing her silent, Qin Fang thought she was frightened, and quickly explained: "The back of this is made of plastic, it won't hurt you. I thought the world is a bit chaotic, and you often run around alone, it would be safer to carry this."
Ruan Fu said "hmm" softly, and reached out to take it. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched that the other party was willing to spend so much time on her.
With this thing, she doesn't have to worry about encountering ordinary little hooligans.
As for the previous conspiracy by Ruan Hongxing and others to plot against her, it no longer poses a threat.
Qin Fang was relieved to see that she was finally willing to accept it.
In the past, other girls chased after him, and he was only responsible for refusing with a cold face.
Now this is the first time he has taken the initiative to show his kindness to a girl, and he is really inexperienced.
Especially since Ruan Fu's personality is quite stubborn. After he was rejected by the other party last time when he asked for money, he has been thinking about how to make the other party accept it.
After thinking about it, he searched several layers of relationships overnight and finally found this way to protect himself.
Seeing the expression on Ruan Fu's face, Qin Fang knew that this gift had touched the girl's heart, and he felt a little proud in his heart.
Things are going to work! With a little more effort, Afu will definitely be willing to accept him! Qin Fang is very confident in himself!
The ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them is just right. Anyone who doesn't take advantage of the victory at this time is a fool.
Seeing that they were about to part, Qin Fang immediately got out of the car and said happily: "I'll walk with you."
Ruan Fu had no reason to refuse, and the two walked back along the village road.
"Afu," Qin Fang looked at the girl next to him and said casually, "You told Tiantian before that you wanted to apply to a university in Jing City. Is that true?"
Knowing yourself and your enemy will lead to victory in every battle. He even used military tactics now.
Ruan Fu smiled, "Brother Qin, do you think I'm dreaming? Jing City represents the highest institution of learning. As for myself, I really want to go there, but the specific school I apply to will still depend on my college entrance examination scores."
Qin Fang listened silently.
Although he didn't know what Ruan Fu's grades were, she must not be bad to say such a thing. Besides, he always felt that Afu was full of cleverness, which was different from other girls.
"If you want to take the exam, just don't put too much pressure on yourself. By the way, last time I saw you saving that old man on the street, have you learned first aid before?"
Ruan Fu hesitated, not knowing how to explain. She couldn't tell the other party that she was a doctor in medicine in her previous life, right?
She said vaguely: "I am quite interested in medicine. There was an educated youth who went to the countryside who was a doctor. I learned from him for a few days. Last time the situation was critical, I did it subconsciously."
Qin Fang was secretly shocked when he heard it. He later consulted an expert and learned that most regular doctors might not have that reaction speed. How could they achieve such a professional level just by learning for a few days? Ruan Fu is a genius!
As a result, he hoped that she could pass the exam and go to Beijing as soon as possible.
It's a rare opportunity for me to fall in love with such a smart girl who is also pretty. She must be very popular with boys. I would feel at ease if she was in the same place with me.
They both have outstanding figures and looks. Just strolling around the village, they attract countless people's attention.
Among them, there are many young men who have their eyes on Ruan Fu.
Originally, after hearing that she had separated from the Ruan family, they were a little eager to make a move, thinking of taking the initiative to show their courtesy, but they never thought that there was such a handsome man by the side of this girl. Just standing there, he was enough to outshine everyone else.
The young men immediately lost interest and even greeted her perfunctorily.
Ruan Fu didn't know that by just strolling around, she had lost all her romantic opportunities in the village.
But her attention was not here at all. She looked around and found her target in an instant.
