Chapter 60: Fu Jingyou "Shows His Divine Power"
“…”
Lu Miao hesitated to speak, but seeing that Chen Guifen was very busy, he felt embarrassed to delay her, so he could only reluctantly respond:
"Okay, auntie, I'll go back first."
As for the job of herding cattle...
Let her go back and consult Gu Ying and the others first, and assess the situation first.
"Hey, go ahead!"
"Um."
Lu Miao responded and turned to leave the He family yard.
She frowned slightly, with a hint of worry on her face. She didn't want to meet those "idlers" in the team. When she went back, she didn't go through the team, but took the path along the ridge of the field. Unexpectedly, she met someone by chance halfway.
On the narrow path along the ridge of the field, the man was walking in front and Lu Miao was walking behind, with a distance of at least twenty or thirty meters between them. But as soon as she saw the tall figure from behind, she immediately recognized who it was.
"Fu Jingyou!"
The person in front turned around when he heard the voice. Who else could it be but Fu Jingyou?
Lu Miao showed surprise and trotted over. "Are you done?"
"Yeah." Fu Jingyou nodded slightly in response, not missing the quick look of worry that flashed across Lu Miao's face.
He calmly took the small stool from Lu Miao's hand, tried to move to the side to let Lu Miao walk in front, and then slowed down his voice and asked:
"Has anything happened in the team these days?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"nothing."
After a few days of separation, Fu Jingyou returned to his previous silent and introverted self, but at least this time Lu Miao did not feel indifference from him, and meeting his friend again, Lu Miao felt a little more happy in his heart.
She chuckled softly twice, and then, as she thought of something, the corners of her mouth suddenly drooped downwards, and her lips pursed.
"Oh!" Lu Miao sighed.
Fu Jingyou was puzzled by her sigh and asked in a calm voice, "What's wrong?"
Lu Miao half-turned, gave a look of sorrow and a coquettish complaint, then turned around again, buried his head and continued walking forward mumbling:
"I just came from my aunt's house. My aunt said that the farm work is very busy recently and there is so much work to do in the fields, but no one is taking care of the cows in the cowshed, so she asked me to go herd them."
Fu Jingyou nodded barely audibly, "This is a good job."
Lu Miao pouted even more, turned around, frowned, and stomped his feet, staring at him:
"But I'm scared!"
Lu Miao had received a lot of care from Chen Guifen before. Although she didn't know what was so good about this job of herding cattle, since it was assigned to her by Chen Guifen, it must be special care.
But no matter how much special care she gave, the fear in her heart could not be faked...
Fu Jingyou was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is this what you're worried about?"
"What else could it be?"
Lu Miao had a sad face and was whining, so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
The sun was at its hottest at noon. Although Lu Miao wore a hat, his face was sweaty and inevitably turned pink and red by the summer heat wave.
Fu Jingyou wiped the sweat from his neck and raised his chin to signal Lu Miao to walk faster. "These are all trivial matters. I'll take care of them."
"How are you going to arrange it?" Lu Miao hesitated, looking back at him as he walked. "You're going to tell Auntie that I'm quitting? Wouldn't that make me seem ungrateful?"
She was definitely happy that this matter could be resolved, but she was also afraid that it would cause other troubles.
"I'm going to pick up the cows tomorrow. You should leave early as usual and bring your rations with you to my place. Don't worry about anything else for now."
Lu Miao roughly understood what he meant, but still had questions:
"Will that delay you?"
Fu Jingyou shook his head and said, "I know what's going on."
After he said that, Lu Miao felt a little relieved, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. "Then I'll bring rations tomorrow. Should we eat outside? Or should we go back to your house?"
Her bright complexion and smiling face made Fu Jingyou feel a little embarrassed. After a long silence, he replied:
"Come to my place."
Going to the Fu family meant improving the food, so Lu Miao immediately jumped up in excitement, "That's fine!"
She chattered along the way, happily talking to Fu Jingyou like a bird about recent events, such as the last time Chen Miaomiao cursed someone, and the incident today when Ma Tianzao challenged her to a "competition".
Of course, Lu Miao simply skipped over the incident of Chen Miaomiao swearing. Although she had a stubborn and bad temper, she was very shy and could not really repeat the words that Chen Miaomiao used to curse.
Fu Jingyou listened to the whole story that Lu Miao told. As he was about to go out at that time, he actually heard some of the noise before leaving.
Now calming down and thinking carefully, he was worried that the educated youth named Chen Miaomiao would cause some trouble again, targeting or even corrupting the bright and smiling girl in front of him. Fu Jingyou warned seriously:
"Stay away from people you don't like...Also, whether you're at the educated youth camp or in the production team, listen to what they say when they should, and don't listen to what they shouldn't."
"So which ones should we listen to? Which ones shouldn't we listen to?"
Lu Miao's eyes were bright and he was smiling with his lips curved as he stepped out of the ridge of the field and walked up the small slope on the side of the pond.
The warm summer breeze was blowing gently, and the branches and leaves of the lush Chinese toon trees growing on the roadside were swaying. The light and shadows slanting down from the leaves fell on her face, mottled and scattered, both beautiful and dreamy.
Fu Jingyou's Adam's apple moved up and down, and his deep pupils trembled slightly under his messy hair.
Handing the stool back to Lu Miao, he turned his eyes away, trying to keep his voice calm and composed:
"You shouldn't listen to, learn, or even say swear words."
Lu Miao winked playfully, pretending to be embarrassed:
"They have their mouths on their bodies, how can I know what they're going to say next? Even if they really said something they shouldn't have, how can I prevent it? Do I have to cover my ears?"
"Why not?"
"ah?"
A warm feeling came from his ear, and Lu Miao was stunned. He looked up at Fu Jingyou blankly.
Fu Jingyou put his hands on the sides of her face, covering her ears, while looking at her with his head slightly lowered.
Between his messy hair, his pair of peach blossom eyes were full of affection and were particularly deep.
Maybe it was because he was confused because he didn't take precautions beforehand, or for some other reason, but Lu Miao just stood there staring at Fu Jingyou, completely forgetting to push and keep some distance.
The atmosphere gradually took a subtle turn. At this moment, an extremely angry voice suddenly came from the other side of the shade of the tree:
"Lu Miao!"
Lu Miao shuddered and came back to his senses instantly. Fu Jingyou was also brought back to his senses.
Fu Jingyou realized his presumptuous behavior and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
Blame it on the charming summer breeze, blame it on his lack of concentration. Under the flickering light and shadow, he seemed to be trapped in a dream, unconsciously reaching out to touch that face...
Lu Miao, will you be angry?
Will you find him abrupt and dislike him?
Fu Jingyou pulled his hand back as if it was burned, took a few steps back, stood still, but felt nervous and looked at Lu Miao's face first.
