Although Song Lili was somewhat dissatisfied with the final outcome of Luo Juan's matter, she still breathed a sigh of relief.
It's a bit of a shame that Luo Juan escaped, but as long as she's not here, it won't affect her anymore.
In the future, she can farm, visit the elderly occasionally, spend time with her family, or enjoy a comfortable rural life, which seems quite nice.
When all these matters are settled, it will be time for spring planting, and all the farmers will need to get to work.
First, we need to select the seeds. Wheat seeds are too small, so we chose broad bean seeds instead.
Pick out all the bad, rotten, and damaged plants; these won't sprout. Even if you plant them, it's just a waste of land and manpower.
The remaining good ones are all kept and planted when it's time to sow.
These past few days, the people of Hongqi Village have been busy with this matter.
In order to finish as soon as possible, Li Weiguo and his group discussed it and called everyone to the square to work together.
Selecting seeds earlier allows for earlier sowing.
Therefore, for the first time ever, the entire population of Hongqi Village gathered here, including the elderly who came one after another, as well as the educated youth.
Zhao Qian and his companions had long since adapted to the lifestyle of Hongqi Village, and now they were quite adept at farm work. If it weren't for their demeanor, they would be almost indistinguishable from ordinary farmers.
Although Mu Shaohua and his team had only been there for a little over six months, they worked diligently. They weren't as fast as the others, but they didn't make any mistakes.
They were all very serious, knowing that as long as they did their jobs well and didn't slack off, no one would say anything.
There were only a few newly arrived educated youths, and they were all novices, and their performances varied.
Zhang Zeyu is the kind of person who is quite calm and composed. In unfamiliar environments, he will observe first and only have other ideas after he has understood everything.
Therefore, he does what others do without seeming out of place, and tries his best to fit in.
In addition, knowing his relationship with Song Lili's family made him feel more at ease and more composed.
Therefore, he was the one who left the best impression on everyone.
Although Chu Ci was playful and joking, she had a sweet tongue and greeted everyone with a smile. Even though she was clumsy, everyone was tolerant of her.
The other two girls, the one named Xue Jiao, had a baby face, chubby and cute, which made people feel soft-hearted at first glance.
She was also very inexperienced, but she was still trying her best. Although she often made things worse, you could only look at her face and feel helpless. She also got along well with everyone.
The only person who caused everyone to have complaints was probably that female educated youth named Wang Shan.
She had an arrogant air about her, looking down on everything, and the disgust on her face was plain for everyone to see.
Moreover, not only did she look disdainful, but she also said unpleasant things, constantly saying that the place was dirty, which made many people turn cold.
Song Lili was unaware of all this. She arrived quite early, but not the earliest, since everyone arrives early during the busy farming season.
She found a spot, sat down, poured out a pile of broad beans, and started picking them up, completely blocking out her surroundings.
"Why are you here so early?" She didn't look up until she heard a voice in her ear, and saw Zhang Qinghua looking down at her.
The sun had just begun to rise, and there was no stimulation at all, but Zhang Qinghua was standing with his back to the light, and the sunlight seemed to form a halo around his head.
This made Zhang Qinghua look more sunny and cheerful than before, and coupled with the just-right, slightly warm look in his eyes, Song Lili was completely stunned.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Zhang Qinghua looked at Song Lili, who was staring blankly, and couldn't help but pat her head and ask gently.
"Huh? No...nothing." Only when she felt the touch on her head did Song Lili come to her senses. She blushed immediately and quickly lowered her head to hide her strangeness.
"Why are you here so early?" Zhang Qinghua, unaware of Song Lili's unusual behavior, sat down next to her and asked again.
"I...I got up early and came as soon as I was ready." Song Lili's ears were red and her voice was low.
Although Zhang Qinghua found it a bit strange, he didn't think much of it. "You can rest a little longer. Look, everyone else is just arriving."
Although Song Lili wasn't the first one to arrive, she was among the first to arrive, and by now she had already picked through half a bag.
Following Zhang Qinghua's finger, Song Lili noticed that many people were arriving just now, coming in twos and threes.
"It's okay, I have nothing to do at home anyway, so coming earlier means I can pick up more." Song Lili didn't take it to heart.
She's used to doing this for a long time and doesn't feel like she's at a disadvantage. It's just moving her fingers; it's not tiring at all.
“I know, but… I hope you can relax a bit,” Zhang Qinghua said, pursing her lips.
Lili hasn't married him yet, so he can't interfere too much, but deep down, he still wants her to have an easier life.
"I'm fine." Song Lili paused for a moment upon hearing this. "Everyone is like this, and I'm used to it. I won't force myself."
If she could, Song Lili certainly wouldn't want to do it, not because she was lazy, but because she had other things she wanted to do more.
But what can we do when things are like this?
She can only place herself in the same position as everyone else and must conform to everyone else's standards.
Only in this way can one hide oneself and get through this safely.
That's why she did this, just like Song Lili used to do.
Hearing Zhang Qinghua's words, she felt touched, sweet, and even excited.
However, she couldn't be that special person. She wasn't just a person; she had many responsibilities, and she couldn't be willful.
Therefore, he could only suppress all his emotions and smile politely at Zhang Qinghua.
"It's good that you... know what's going on." Zhang Qinghua looked at Song Lili with deep eyes for a long time before saying this, and then he also lowered his head to pick up broad beans, without saying anything more.
Song Lili's hand paused again. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She lowered her head and worked diligently without saying a word.
So it was still quite quiet here for the time being.
Song Lili felt a pang of sadness, and her eyes stung, but she suppressed it all and continued doing her own thing as if nothing was wrong.
Now is not the time; we must remain low-key.
I'll wait for another opportunity to explain to Zhang Qinghua; now is not the right time.
And so, the two of them sat side by side, quickly picking up broad beans. At first glance, the man was handsome and the woman was gentle; they seemed to be a very good match.
