Chapter 10: Let’s Start
The next day when Jiang He and his companions went to the fields, no one came to cause trouble for the whole morning. When it was time to take a break at noon, they found a shady place and sat down.
"Hey, go ask." Gao Youhui nudged Jiang He, who was sitting next to him, with his shoulder, and then when the other looked up, he winked at Zhao Xiaoxue, who was sitting under the tree opposite to take a rest.
"I'm not going!" Jiang He knew that Zhao Xiaoxue had a crush on him, but he was just a friend to her at most. There was no need to get close to her and use her just for good intelligence, so he really didn't bother to pay attention to Gao Youhui's suggestion.
"Eh? Now is the time to clear the stigma for us educated youth. You have to make some sacrifices anyway." Gao Youhui didn't notice the unhappiness on Jiang He's face and continued to persuade him.
"I don't like lying." Jiang He said this, took the dry food in his hand and sat under the tree on the other side, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him.
"No, this is too innocent... Why are you looking at me like that?" Gao Youhui was about to say something when he realized that his friend was staring at him with an extremely indifferent look, and he instantly felt upset.
Lu Mingfeng ignored him and continued to chew the dry food in his hand, leaving Gao Youhui confused. However, he soon poked the person next to him and said, "Hey, your fiancée is here. Remember to say a few more words. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Gao Youhui took the dry food in his hand and followed Jiang He to his side, only to find that the other party was chatting enthusiastically with Yun Wazi who was teaching them how to plant rice in front of him.
"We used to think that you city people looked down on us, but we didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to." Yun Wazi said cheerfully, with half a bowl of sour plum soup poured into the bowl in front of him. "According to your method, can I really do the same as you?"
"Yeah." Jiang He nodded, and the smile on his face made people feel like they were in spring breeze.
"Thank you. I was thinking about the plums my aunt sent me. They are about to rot at home. I'll talk to you about it tomorrow." Yunwazi carefully poured half a bowl of sour plum soup into the kettle, and then left with a smile.
"Damn, I really underestimated you. Tell me, what information did you get?" Gao Youhui knew that when this Yun kid was with them, he would ignore everything except work. He didn't expect that in just a short while, his good friend would chat so freely with him.
"No." Jiang He finished the last bite of dry food and said this one after another.
"Then what were you talking about? You seemed so happy?" Gao Youhui asked puzzledly.
"You don't really think that a cup of sour plum soup can make them talk?" Jiang He looked at him with a look that said, "You are the worst class of students I have ever taught."
"Are they so defensive?" Gao Youhui continued to ask.
"Don't underestimate these villagers. They may smile at you on the surface, but they may be more wary of you in their hearts. What's more, after something like that happened, how could they just tell us? The villagers all value their face." Jiang He replied.
"Okay, so what are you going to do?" Gao Youhui was a little discouraged.
"Let's wait and see. We need to do it quietly and slowly change their perception of us... Lin Ran? Why is she here?" Jiang He was about to say something when he saw Lin Ran, who was sitting next to Lu Mingfeng and smiling coquettishly.
Gao Youhui looked back and said, "Since you are unwilling to cooperate with us, we have no choice but to let Lao Lu sacrifice his chastity. You feel psychological pressure to lie to Zhao Xiaoxue, but Lao Lu doesn't. Besides, their families are familiar with each other. I also heard that the two families want them to get engaged. I am willing to tell you because I don't treat you as an outsider."
