After working for more than an hour, it was already past eleven o'clock, and the big pot of vegetables was finally ready.
"How about it, is this big pot enough?" Ye Yun said.
Looking at the big pot of food, Lin Shuyue smiled and nodded, giving Ye Yun a thumbs up and saying, "Amazing! You could work in the kitchen of a construction site; you'd definitely do a great job."
"Pshaw, I don't care. I only did it because I got paid for it and didn't do any work."
"Okay, so how are we going to bring these over? We can't just carry them over bowl by bowl!" Lin Shuyue asked.
Ye Yun thought for a moment and said, "Let's just take the whole pot over, along with bowls, steamed buns, and a bucket of boiled water."
"This is a huge pot, can you lift it?"
"Isn't there a cart? I can just use the cart to pull it over."
After all the busy work and preparations before setting off, it was already noon when Ye Yun arrived at the field with his cart.
Upon seeing Ye Yun approach, Gou Sheng and the others quickly gathered around him.
"Wow, Yun-ge, you really brought food, and you even brought the pot!" Gousheng exclaimed in surprise.
"Otherwise, there's no way to put food for ten people except in a pot. We'll all line up and come one by one."
"Alright!" Everyone lined up, and Ye Yun served rice to each person, a bowl of vegetables, a steamed bun, and even a bucket of water for them to drink.
"Wow, this dish smells delicious!" Gou Sheng exclaimed as he ate.
"If you enjoy the food, then work hard. This is for you to make money, not for me," Ye Yun said.
"Hehe, that's for sure. The brothers are well-fed and have plenty of energy, so the work will be a breeze..."
While the group was eating, Ye Yun went to check the fields. He had to admit that the young people were fast; they had moved ten acres of land in just one morning. At this rate, they could move at least twenty acres a day, and one hundred acres could be moved in five days.
“Okay, if we work like this, it should be finished in about five days,” Ye Yun said, stepping out of the field and dusting off his clothes.
"Brother Yun, do you think our wages are paid daily, or are we settled after we finish the job?" Liang Lu asked curiously.
"What, in such a hurry to buy a gift for your little girlfriend?" Ye Yun teased.
Liang Lu blushed immediately. "No."
"Hehe, you still say you don't? This kid's face is all red, so it must be true," Gou Sheng teased.
Ye Yun sat on the cart, looked at the group, and asked, "When do you want to send it?"
Gou Sheng chuckled sheepishly, scratched his head, and said, "Of course, the sooner the better. Once we have the money, we'll work even harder."
"Yes, yes..." the others echoed.
Ye Yun nodded and said, "Okay, after you've finished eating, I'll go to the village chief's house on my way back, get the money, and then I can give it to you."
"Great, that's wonderful!"
After Gou Sheng and the others finished eating, Ye Yun pulled the cart back to the village and went to the village chief's house.
"Uncle Village Chief!" Ye Yun knocked on the door and called out.
Soon, the door opened, but it wasn't the village chief who appeared; it was Zhang Ya. Her hair was wet, and she was wearing a thin t-shirt, indicating that she had just taken a shower.
"Uh... Teacher Zhang, is the village chief home?" Ye Yun asked cautiously.
"My dad isn't here. He went to my third uncle's house and will be back in a bit. Please come in and sit down!" Zhang Ya opened the door for her.
"All right!"
Ye Yun went inside and followed Zhang Ya into the room. The room was quiet, well-furnished, and had a faint fragrance.
As soon as I sat down on the sofa, Zhang Ya brought me a cup of hot water.
"Have some water!"
As the other person bent down to hand over the water, Ye Yun saw something she shouldn't have, and quickly lowered her head, saying, "Thank you."
Then, Zhang Ya turned around and sat down in front of the dressing table, using a hairdryer to dry her hair.
The only sound in the room was the hairdryer. The two of them were very quiet and didn't say a word; they just sat there.
"What do you want with my dad?" Zhang Ya suddenly asked.
"Regarding the wages for moving the corn, I want to ask him if he has collected them all," Ye Yun said, looking at Zhang Ya.
Zhang Ya also looked at Ye Yun in the mirror. "He went to his third uncle's house. He should have collected all the money. He'll bring it back later."
"Okay, that's good."
Then there was silence again, but it didn't last long before Zhang Ya asked again, "You've been back for almost a month now, have you found a girlfriend yet?"
"Uh...no."
"No? No way!" Zhang Ya turned off the hairdryer, got up, tossed her hair, and styled it in front of the mirror. She said, "You must have slept with women before, how come you don't have a girlfriend? Could it be..."
"How could you..." Ye Yun asked in surprise.
Zhang Ya pushed back her chair, turned around and came to Ye Yun's side, leaning down close to him, almost touching him.
Zhang Ya stared intently at Ye Yun and said, "Because you've changed so much. When we first met, your gaze was evasive, almost avoiding mine. But today it's direct, very mature. With such a change, I bet you've slept with someone, right?"
"This...you can tell from this?" Ye Yun asked incredulously.
"Having met more people and understood men, I naturally become adept at handling details." Zhang Ya smiled faintly, slowly getting up and walking to the wardrobe.
Ye Yun looked at her curiously as she rummaged through her clothes and asked, "Do you know a lot about men?"
“Of course, didn’t I tell you this morning? I’m not a good woman. I know quite a bit about men. At least for someone like you who doesn’t have much experience with men and women, I can be your teacher,” Zhang Ya said confidently.
Ye Yun chuckled softly and sighed, "I can imagine it, but a woman like you shouldn't be in the countryside."
"Where should it be? In the city, in a bar, among the rich?"
These words left Ye Yun speechless. Everything he wanted to say had already been said, so what else could he say?
Zhang Ya took out a piece of clothing, put it on, and turned to ask Ye Yun, "How about this one?"
"pretty."
"Person or clothes?"
"They're all beautiful."
Zhang Ya smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and praised, "Not bad, you answered without any hesitation. I'm very curious, what's that person like?"
"Huh?" Ye Yun looked at her, puzzled.
"Don't worry, I don't want to know who she is. I just want to know if she's a decent person, not some fickle, bad woman."
Ye Yun shook his head. "No, she's a good person. If she were the kind you're talking about, I wouldn't be interested in her either."
Zhang Ya breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "That's good. I would have been really unwilling if you had given your first time to that kind of lowlife!"
"Unwilling to accept it?"
"Yeah, it's like your class's pure and innocent school beauty getting slept with by some thug with blond hair. Doesn't that make you feel bad?"
