Liu Cuiying did not go to the fields today. Guan Yurong said she would mail her medicine. Today is the fifth day, and the postman has not delivered the package slip yet. She is getting a little anxious and plans to go to the county post office to check.
So after dinner, she sat on the bench in the yard without moving.
Fang Suyun called her, "Mom, it's time to go to work."
"I'm not going."
"The captain has asked you to work here, and if you don't go, what are you going to do?"
Liu Cuiying still had two boxes of biscuits in her bag, enough for her to eat for at least one day.
"I won't go. I won't eat your meal today."
Fang Suyun and Xu Zhenqing didn't say anything else. They knew that the old woman was lazy and must be tired after working for two days, so she didn't want to go to the fields.
"It's okay for you not to go to the fields, but you can't stay at home either," said Xu Zhenqing.
"That's no problem." She was just about to go out, and there was no point in staying home anyway.
The four of them went out of the door together. Xu Zhenqing locked the door. He, Fang Suyun and Mo Wuwei went to the field together, regardless of where Liu Cuiying would go.
Not long after the three of them left, Liu Cuiying went to the county town alone.
It is now the autumn harvest season, and the brigade's oxen are busy pulling grain in the fields. There are no ready-made ox carts, so Liu Cuiying can only walk to the county town.
Fortunately, they arrived at the county town before noon. She was so tired that her legs were weak and her whole body was exhausted.
After asking at the post office window, she found out that there was no package or letter for her. She called Guan Yurong's office using the post office's landline, but no one answered after two or three calls. She became very nervous.
Could something have happened to her daughter? Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to get medicine, wouldn't have written to her, and now even her phone couldn't be reached.
She didn't give up. She waited for half an hour and called again. This time the call was connected, but it was not her daughter who answered the phone. The person told her that Guan Yurong was not there.
She asked the other party when Guan Yurong would be able to answer the phone, but the other party said he didn't know, which made her even more worried about Guan Yurong's safety.
"Yurong, something happened? Yurong, what happened to you?" She didn't understand what was going on and was very scared.
What should she do if something happens to Guan Yurong?
He staggered out of the post office in a daze, and returned to the team in a daze.
After Guan Yurong got into trouble, her only relative left was Lin Ruyan.
By the way, she could go and ask Lin Ruyan, maybe Lin Ruyan knew what happened.
If Lin Ruyan didn't know, she would tell Lin Ruyan about it so that Lin Ruyan could be mentally prepared.
She went to the fields to look for Lin Ruyan, but found a strange young man beside Lin Ruyan. The first thought in her mind was that Lin Ruyan had found a partner, but when she looked closely, the man looked a bit like someone from the Guan family, so he should be one of the children of the Guan family.
Besides, there are other villagers and educated youth around Lin Ruyan. She has calmed down now. The situation on Guan Yurong's side is unclear, and she cannot expose her relationship with Lin Ruyan now.
It’s better to be patient for now. Maybe there will be news about Guan Yurong in a couple of days.
Today, most of Lin Rongyan's work was done by Guan Xingyao. She was either resting or playing on the side, which was much more relaxed than her usual work.
All the educated youth who worked with her envied her.
Zhang Jianjun was not idle either. He was working with the Jiang family and Xu Nuannuan.
Jiang Ye was a little absent-minded when he was at work. He didn't know how many times he had looked at Xu Nuannuan's lips throughout the whole day.
The little girl said she would kiss him on the mouth today. When will she kiss him?
He was both excited and nervous.
As soon as he got off work, Guan Xingyao came to find Zhang Jianjun and talked to him alone.
"Jianjun, where have you been eating all this time? Your sister's house? Or her boyfriend's house?"
"Her boyfriend's family."
"Who cooks in their family? Did you eat the meal your sister made for you?"
He has never forgotten Xu Nuannuan's craftsmanship. Thinking of the things Xu Nuannuan made, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Zhang Jianjun glanced at him sideways. "Why are you asking about this? Where I eat, and whether I eat the food my sister cooks, what does it have to do with you? If I don't eat, it's none of your business, right?"
Guan Xingyao's expression was embarrassed for a moment: "Well, we are comrades, isn't it normal for comrades to care about each other?"
"Then why don't you care whether I pooped, how many times I pooped, and where I pooped? Aren't we comrades? Why don't you care about me?"
"Jianjun, if you want me to care about you, that's fine. I'll ask you in front of your sister and her mother-in-law's family later and take good care of you."
"Forget it, forget it. I don't need your concern anymore. But I know what you're thinking. I've been eating at Nuannuan's boyfriend's house since yesterday. But Nuannuan is tired from work, so I can't let her cook anymore."
"Then won't we be able to eat the food she cooks before we leave?"
Zhang Jianjun laughed out loud, "Look at how greedy you are. If you want to eat something, ask your sister to make it for you. It's not like you don't have a sister."
"But Ruyan doesn't know how to do anything." Guan Xingyao began to envy Zhang Jianjun again, and said pitifully, "Jianjun, you have such a good sister, you don't mind letting me take some credit. Well, I'll go to your place tomorrow and help her with the work, I'll pay for her shopping, and I'll have to trouble her with the cooking."
"Okay, go ahead and tell her."
"Me?" Guan Xingyao was embarrassed. "What should I say? After all, we're not that familiar with each other. How can you say it's appropriate?"
Zhang Jianjun looked at Guan Xingyao's drool that was about to flow to the ground and nodded in agreement, "Okay, you pay for the shopping, and you also have to go help Nuannuan with the work. I'll help you tell her that you want to eat her cooking."
