Chapter 27 The Adorable Contrast of a Rough Man
Su Xu frowned as he looked at Liu Nian, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her brow.
"Do you trust me?" Liu Nian stared into Su Xu's eyes and nodded at him. "Can you trust me or not?"
Su Xu didn't hesitate at all, "I believe you."
The team members standing nearby were furious, "Captain! This is irresponsible! Is your wife some kind of wicked woman who brought ruin to the country? You listen to everything she says?"
"What does that woman know about the ins and outs of farming?"
"Which man listens to his wife?"
Other teams even came to watch the spectacle, making sarcastic remarks like, "Oh dear, you won't be getting the 'Advanced' award this time!"
"Just watch as we take your red flag away!"
Another team leader waved his hand and shouted, "Comrades, let's work harder! Quickly spread the fertilizer on the ground! Let's win first place!"
Liu Nian anxiously stopped them, saying, "There's a huge downpour tonight! You should stop for a bit, or you'll end up wasting fertilizer and working for nothing."
The man questioned, "The weather forecast said there would be no rain today. How can you say it will rain and then it will?"
These men all thought Liu Nian was there to cause trouble, and even looked down on Su Xu. Why did he just believe whatever his wife said? It's a disgrace to men!
Liu Nian sighed. She had checked the history on her phone, remembering clearly which days it rained and which days it hailed.
She couldn't stop the other teams, so she could only look anxiously at Su Xu.
"Captain, let's get to work!" His team members were all anxious. "Look, they're all laughing at us."
“We’ll spread the fertilizer again tomorrow,” Su Xu said. “If it doesn’t rain tonight, I’ll take full responsibility!”
He turned around again, his voice firm and resolute, brooking no argument.
"There will be a heavy rainstorm tonight, let's hurry up and take flood prevention measures!"
His eyes were like sharp swords, sweeping fiercely over everyone. The team members fell silent and finally nodded.
"Okay, Captain, we'll listen to you!"
The river embankment needs to be repaired immediately, and sandbags need to be piled up to ensure that the river does not breach the embankment and protect the fields.
A group of men, shirtless, carried sandbags up the river, back and forth, their sweat dripping down their bodies like water.
Liu Nian cooked mung bean soup at home, put it in a large bucket, pushed it to the riverbank, and distributed it.
"Hmph, is he stupid? His wife said there would be a torrential downpour, and he believed her." Su Hang said dismissively, "If it doesn't rain today, he'll be in big trouble!"
Someone is definitely going to cause trouble! Su Hang waited gleefully to see what would happen.
That evening, Su Xu returned home exhausted.
Su Xu was covered in sweat, and his shoes were muddy.
Liu Nian had already boiled a pot of water in a large pot, and when she saw Su Xu return, she quickly urged him to go and wash up.
"Together?" Su Xu glanced at Liu Nian and beckoned with his finger resting on the edge of the large basin.
"What?" Liu Nian blushed and threw the towel in her hand at Su Xu.
"You're really shameless," Liu Nian glared at the man angrily.
The rising steam made people dizzy. Su Xu coughed, his face red and his neck thick, "I'm just trying to save water."
“We’re not short of water at home.” Liu Nian went over and helped the man rub his back.
Soft fingers gently traced his back, and Su Xu's muscles tensed immediately. "I'll do it myself."
Don't wait until you can't help but make a scene and waste a bucket of hot water.
Liu Nian was not about to be outdone, so she patted the man's shoulder and chuckled mischievously.
"What are you laughing at?" The man was splashing water on his body when he saw her laughing so hard she was bent over. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Liu Nian stood up straight and asked, "Can I shout louder in the future?"
"Hmm, that's good." Su Xu narrowed his eyes, his ear tips turning suspiciously red.
Liu Nian became even more smug, "But you have to agree to my conditions."
Su Xu nodded and replied without hesitation, "Go ahead."
He'll agree to any condition...
"You have to wear rabbit ears for me to see!" After saying that, Liu Nian turned and ran away. When she came back, she was holding a hair clip-like thing in her hand, with two white, fluffy ears on top.
Before Su Xu could react, Liu Nian reached out and put the glove on Su Xu's head.
Su Xu stared blankly at Liu Nian, blinking. And on his head were soft, fluffy rabbit ears.
There's a kind of endearing contrast.
“Usually at this time, you should do this.” Liu Nian clenched her fist, raised it to her chest, tapped it with her little fist, and bounced her body along with it, “Meow…”
She even blinked in response.
Unable to resist, Su Xu blushed, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he licked his lips again.
"Want to learn one?" Liu Nian teased him.
Su Xu grabbed Liu Nian with one hand and, with a splash, pulled her directly into the large tub.
"Let's go together." Su Xu looked at Liu Nian with a smile, his eyes burning with desire.
"No!" Liu Nian struggled to get up; she refused.
But the refusal was ineffective, and they ended up together anyway.
