"Wow, sister-in-law, you're wearing stockings! They look so beautiful and sexy!" Lu Xiaoqing exclaimed excitedly.
Lin Shuyue was quite embarrassed. She originally intended for Ye Yun to wear it, but Lu Xiaoqing beat her to it.
"It's nothing, just stockings."
"But you never wore this before, why are you suddenly wearing it now? Do you have someone you like?" Lu Xiaoqing teased.
"No, don't talk nonsense. I just think Sister Su looks very beautiful in this. A few days ago when I went to town, Sister Su specially picked out some clothes for me to make me look younger," Lin Shuyue explained.
"Oh, you all went to town! Why didn't you call me?"
"You were in school back then, so what did you call me?"
"Okay, then you must invite me next time. I also want to wear stockings, they're so sexy... Ouch!" Just as she was saying this, she was tapped on the head.
As Lu Xiaoqing turned around, Ye Yun handed her the ice cream and said, "Don't even think about it. You little brat, you want to wear stockings like people do."
“I’m not a little kid, I have long legs too, and I’ll definitely look sexy in stockings.” Lu Xiaoqing stretched out her long legs to show Ye Yun.
Ye Yun slapped her thigh, making Lu Xiaoqing gasp in pain. "Why did you hit me?"
"Hmm, it's quite meaty and very bouncy, not bad," Ye Yun said, rubbing his hands together.
"Huh? You could have just touched me directly, why did you have to slap me so hard? My leg is all red now." Lu Xiaoqing glared at him angrily.
"Little girl, once you get to college, you can wear whatever you want. What you need to do now is study hard. If you don't study well, it won't matter what you wear, understand?" Ye Yun patted her head and said.
"I know, you don't need to lecture me every time, Brother Yun, you're really annoying," Lu Xiaoqing said impatiently.
"Oh ho, so you're already finding me annoying. You said you wanted to be my girlfriend before, tsk tsk, women!" Ye Yun clicked his tongue twice in disapproval.
That's not what I meant...
"That's not what you meant. You meant you were joking about liking me, right? I understand."
"You!" Lu Xiaoqing's face turned red with anger.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Xiaoqing, don't mind him, your brother Yun is just joking with you!" Lin Shuyue then stepped in to smooth things over, pulling Lu Xiaoqing aside to comfort her.
"I just like to dress up nicely for him, but he always criticizes me and looks down on me..." Lu Xiaoqing told Lin Shuyue, expressing her grievances.
Lin Shuyue hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her, saying, "Your brother Yun is doing this for your own good. You'll be taking the college entrance exam next year, so you should focus on your studies during this time. You can leave puppy love for after the exam. You can wear whatever you want then, and you can go on dates with your brother Yun if you want."
"Forget it, he definitely won't agree," Lu Xiaoqing said dejectedly.
"Hey, you know what, if you actually get into a top university, I'll go on a date with you. I'll take you to the county town for a few days of fun. We'll go to amusement parks, cinemas, parks, shopping malls... we'll visit them all, so you'll have a perfect first date. What do you say?" Ye Yun suggested.
Lu Xiaoqing got up from Lin Shuyue's embrace and looked at Ye Yun with surprise, "Really? You really want to go on a date with me?"
"What's wrong with that? I'm single anyway, so dating is perfectly normal. The prerequisite is that you get into a top-tier university. Uh... a second-tier university is fine too. How about this: if you get into a top-tier university, you'll have seven days of dating with a budget of 2,000 yuan. If you get into a second-tier university, you'll have three days of dating with a budget of 800 yuan. As for a third-tier university... well, I can only say, yasayare."
Lu Xiaoqing wiped away her tears and said excitedly, "Don't worry, Brother Yun, I'll definitely get into a top university. I've made my promise about the seven-day date."
"If you've got guts, then before that, you'd better study hard and not get involved in any of those things, and definitely not have any early relationships."
"How could that be? The person I like is you, I would never like anyone else!" Lu Xiaoqing said proudly, tilting her head back.
"Hmph, that would be best... By the way, it's time to harvest the corn these days, so you can help your dad harvest the corn instead of running around."
“No need, my dad said he plans to turn the land into an orchard this year, and he’ll find someone to buy it all up,” Lu Xiaoqing said.
"Is that so?" Ye Yun asked in surprise.
Didn't he tell you?
"not yet."
"That should be soon. Maybe I'll talk to you about it tonight."
——————
In the afternoon, just as Lu Xiaoqing had said, the village committee's loudspeaker blared, informing villagers who had registered for orchard planting that they would not have to harvest their own corn this year, as the village would arrange for people to harvest it.
At the village chief's house, the third uncle, the village chief, and others sat around the table, and Ye Yun also came over after receiving the notification.
"Let's discuss and finalize the corn harvest tonight," the village chief said.
"Let's call a combine harvester. Once it comes, we can harvest everything," Ye Yun suggested.
“No, the road to the village is too steep, and the road near the river is too narrow to cross,” Uncle San said, shaking his head.
"This year we've had a lot of rain, so the crops ripened earlier in other places. All the harvesters have gone there, and they probably won't be back until after National Day, so we have to harvest by hand," the village chief said.
“Alright, then just organize more people. Leave this to me. I’ll go find Gousheng later and have him inform those lazy dogs in the village. They eat their fill all day and do nothing. They need to get some exercise this National Day holiday,” Ye Yun said.
"Alright, alright, that's what I've been waiting for. Those guys are all troublemakers, nothing your village chief and I say will make a difference," Uncle San said helplessly.
"Okay, I'll take care of it. How do we calculate the wages?"
"How about we calculate it by the day, fifty a day?" the village chief suggested.
Ye Yun shook his head. "No, if we calculate it by the number of days, those guys will definitely slack off, and the time will definitely be longer."
"That's right. The year before last, I asked Gousheng to help me harvest wheat, and that bastard took two days to harvest two acres of land. Normally, it would only take me one day," Uncle San said angrily.
Upon hearing this, the village chief was also troubled. "Oh dear, I almost forgot that Gousheng and the others are incompetent. What should we do?"
At this moment, Ye Yun spoke up, "Here's the arrangement: the orchard is a total of one hundred mu, and each mu costs fifty yuan. Each household will pay according to their own land, and then the money will be distributed to them according to the number of people."
Uncle San slapped his thigh and said, "That's fine. We'll calculate it by land, not by days. Otherwise, if those guys drag it out, the time and wages will be stretched out."
"Okay, then Yunzi, you can handle this. Your third uncle and I will collect the money and give it to you so you can pay their wages."
"Okay, that's settled then. I'll go inform them now, and we'll get started tomorrow." With that, Ye Yun got up and left.
Just as he stepped out, Zhang Ya returned, and the two bumped into each other.
"Good evening!" Zhang Ya greeted with a smile.
"Okay, good evening, I'll be going now." With that, Ye Yun hurriedly left.
