It wasn't until evening that the people of Hongqi Village learned that two experts who studied crops had come to the village.
They said they were sent down from above to research crops suitable for planting in the Northwest and increase yields, etc.
The villagers of Hongqi Village were very excited and hoped that the research would be successful so that they would not go hungry when there was more food.
But when Song Lili heard these words, her mind went blank. Was this a sign that the matter was about to begin?
Under the guise of research, isn't it just a form of demotion?
Song Lili sighed. She hadn't expected there to be signs so early. They needed to hurry.
Luo Weijia shared the same sense of urgency as Song Lili, but the two experts who gave him this sense of urgency were Xiao Wang, who lived in Hongqi Village.
If Xiao Wang stays in the village, it's like having another pair of eyes—eyes from the town. How could Luo Weijia not feel bad?
Because he lost Xu Youcai's help, he is now in a difficult situation. If another person comes along who is watching him all the time and he has to be wary of, then his future will be even more difficult.
No one knew the extent of Luo Weijia's inner turmoil. Everyone was talking about the two experts and gossiping about Xiao Wang.
Whether people were curious or resistant, the three of them ended up living in Hongqi Village, in a few old houses near the brigade headquarters.
The next morning, Song Lili met the two people.
The man was in his forties, wore glasses, and had a strong scholarly air about him; he seemed like a very refined person.
The woman was dressed in a dark blue outfit, her hair was neatly styled in a bun, and she exuded an elegant air.
"These are experts Song and Wu who came to our village to conduct research. Everyone must cooperate well with their work in the future," Li Weiguo introduced the two to everyone.
The man, also known as Expert Song, said, "Hello everyone, my name is Song Yi. I hope you will all take good care of me in the future."
The woman chimed in, "Hello everyone, I'm Wu Ying. I'll be spending time with you all from now on." Her smile was elegant.
Song Lili couldn't help but admire these two people in her heart; even without saying a word, just standing there, you could see their charisma.
This is not something that ordinary researchers possess.
"We were assigned here to study suitable crops for the Northwest, and we may need your help in the future, so thank you all in advance," said Song Yi, speaking on behalf of the team.
The people of Hongqi Village were not used to the two of them speaking in such a refined and literary way. They smiled awkwardly and looked at them with a bit of restraint.
Li Weiguo also knew that most people in Hongqi Village were rough and uncultured and not used to this way of speaking.
He said directly to Zhang Qinghua, "Qinghua, if the two experts need anything in the future, we'll have to trouble you."
Let the scholars entertain the guests; it will make it easier for them to interact.
“My Qinghua is with him too.” Then, looking at Daqing, she added the words “my family” before Daqing’s name to distinguish the two.
Finally, the two sides introduced themselves, allowing Song Yi and Wu Ying to gain a better understanding of Hongqi Village.
Song Lili was observing the two of them and noticed that Wu Ying was well covered up, while Song Yi's eyes showed some frustration and a sense of dejection.
He probably didn't want to come here, but he had no choice.
On the contrary, Wu Ying, a woman who should be weak in the eyes of the public, had no gloom in her eyes, as if she had come here voluntarily.
In an instant, Song Lili had a good impression of Wu Ying. She remained calm and composed in the face of both honor and disgrace; such a person was truly remarkable.
However, it is currently the busy farming season, so even if everyone is curious about these two people, it won't interfere with their work in the fields.
In just a few words, everyone dispersed and headed to the fields; the tasks had been assigned several days earlier.
Zhang Qinghua and Daqing stayed behind to accompany the two experts.
Song Yi looked around dejectedly, but Wu Ying said, "Let's go to the fields first. We need to understand the crops here before we know how to conduct our research."
Zhang Qinghua nodded, "Okay, then you can come with me. You can go wherever you want from now on."
He couldn't be with them all the time. Once they got to know each other, Zhang Qinghua would definitely stop interfering.
Wu Ying nodded. "That's what I meant too. We can't trouble you all; we have to rely on ourselves. We'll be here for quite some time."
For some reason, Wu Ying had this feeling, and combined with some things she knew before, she came to this conclusion.
That's why she was able to accept all of this so calmly.
Zhang Qinghua also had a good impression of Wu Ying, better than of Song Yi, so his tone of voice was not as cold.
"Okay, if you need anything, you can come to me. My name is Zhang Qinghua." Zhang Qinghua thoughtfully introduced himself again.
“I know. I remember all your names,” Wu Ying said with a smile, her eyes showing surprise and admiration for Zhang Qinghua.
It's surprising to find such a gentlemanly and polite young man in such a small village.
"You have a really good memory," Daqing said with a smile.
Wu Ying smiled and didn't answer. They weren't familiar with each other, and it would be awkward to talk too much.
Zhang Qinghua and his companion spent the first half of the day leading Wu Ying and her companion around the various crops in Hongqi Village, allowing them to gain a thorough understanding of them.
In the afternoon, Song Yi said they wanted to see for themselves, so Zhang Qinghua and the other man went to do their own thing.
Xiao Wang, who was left behind, did not go with them. He stayed at the brigade headquarters and did not go out.
Song Lili was somewhat absent-minded all day. She was thinking, "These two are lucky to have come to Hongqi Village now, right?"
If you withdraw before things escalate to a large scale, any subsequent repercussions will be much smaller.
These two are truly lucky.
Song Lili absentmindedly threw the weeds out of the wheat field, then squatted down to search for other weeds in the gaps between the wheat plants.
My thoughts, however, have wandered far away.
With this ambiguous signal, Song Lili became even more low-key, and she rarely went out unless necessary.
Every day is just going to the fields, going home, eating, sleeping, and then going to the fields again, in a cycle that repeats endlessly.
Then, Xia Jun suddenly came to see Song Lili, acting mysteriously, as if he was doing something he couldn't let others know.
He pulled Song Lili to a secluded spot, looked around to make sure there was no one there before turning to look at her.
Song Lili raised an eyebrow at Xia Jun. Did he find something? Or did he hear something?
They have been paying close attention to Luo Weijia these days.
"I just saw Luo Weijia and Zhou Jiaming sneaking off to the broad bean field on the hillside, and they were even pulling and tugging at each other."
