Chapter 40: Someone invites you to the grove, will you go?
Ever since Li Yanli offended everyone last time, everyone has been ostracizing her. They don't call her to get up, eat, or even save water for her to take a bath.
Everyone pretended that Li Yanli didn't exist. This feeling of being isolated was very uncomfortable.
Li Yanli was full of grievances and went to Fan Guoqing to complain.
"Brother Guoqing, do you think I did something wrong? The water was originally given to me and Weiwei by the captain. Even if we didn't want it, why would An Lan pick it up and cook it?"
"You did nothing wrong. This is An Lan's fault. She is too stingy and always bullies you. You see, you have lost weight during this time of carrying manure. This is the cake I brought back from the city. Have some." As he said that, Fan Guoqing took a piece of cake from his pocket and handed it to Li Yanli.
"Really? Thank you so much, Brother Guoqing. I knew you were the best to me." Li Yanli took it with surprise and started to eat it voraciously.
"Yanli, are you willing to accept this? Anlan always bullies you. Not only are you deducted points, but you are also punished to carry manure. If there is meat, you will not be given it to eat."
"Of course I won't accept this. I wish An Lan would die!" Li Yanli couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes when she thought of An Lan.
"Do you want revenge?" Fan Guoqing lowered his eyelids slightly, his eyes flickering.
"Yes! I think about it even in my dreams!" Li Yanli said fiercely.
"I have a book here. Put it under An Lan's pillow and I'll make sure she won't bully you again."
"What kind of book is this? Why is it so amazing?" Li Yanli looked at a book wrapped tightly in newspaper.
"Don't worry about it. You just need to put the book under An Lan's pillow and leave the rest to me." Fan Guoqing said gently.
"Okay." Li Yanli nodded.

On that day, when An Lan was about to go to the field to dig peanuts, the team leader informed her that she would not have to go to the field anymore.
She was assigned to be the scorekeeper.
"An Zhiqing, your job every day is to record points and distribute farm tools. Each point is 10 points. These are recorded by scorekeeper Chen, and you can continue recording according to the above." The team leader said as he handed An Lan a thick record book.
"Okay, no problem." An Lan looked at the densely packed records. It was very simple and he would learn it at a glance.
"Okay, then you can work over there." The captain pointed to the house nearby.
An Lan walked in and saw a medium-sized utility room filled with farm tools. There was also a table next to it with an oil lamp on it. This should be the place where scorekeeper Chen worked before.
As soon as An Lan sat down, he heard a familiar voice.
"Get a sickle."
An Lan looked up and saw it was Huo Linyuan. He stood up excitedly and was about to say hello when he saw Huo Linyuan shaking his head with a smile in his eyes and pointing behind him.
Only then did she realize that there was a long line behind Huo Linyuan, waiting to receive farm tools.
An Lan managed to suppress his excitement, sat up, his eyes sparkling, and said in a very gentle voice: "Okay."
Huo Linyuan saw that An Lan had finished recording and was about to get the farm tools when a note was stuffed into his hand. He was startled and looked up, only to see An Lan blinking at him.
Huo Linyuan looked expressionless on the surface, but in fact he was in turmoil.
[Lanlan, you slipped a note to me in public, this is too bold, but I like it so much, what's going on?]
[If you have it, why don’t you tell me in person? Do you want to tell me in private?]
[Should I go then?]
[What if someone finds out?]
[…………………………]
An Lan didn't expect that Huo Linyuan had so much inner drama even if it was just a note. If she knew that she asked him to go to the grove, would he go crazy?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a piercing voice.
"An Lan, why are you here?" Li Yanli was so jealous when she saw that the scorer was An Lan that her eyes were about to pop out.
"Why am I not here?" An Lan rolled his eyes.
"Where is Scorer Chen? Where did you take Scorer Chen?"
"There is no Chen Scorer. Now there is An Scorer. Tell me what you want. The people behind are waiting."
As soon as An Lan finished speaking, she heard a group of villagers behind her urging Li Yanli. Li Yanli had no choice but to glare at An Lan and said, "Two dung buckets and a carrying pole."
"Okay, one more." An Lan didn't even glance at Li Yanli.
After An Lan sent a few messages to several people in succession, he heard another questioning voice.
"An Lan, why are you here?"
An Lan looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Bai Weiwei. At this moment, her face was pale and she looked so weak that it really made people feel pity for her. But why did she still smell like shit?
Is it really pickled and flavorful?
"Well, what do you want?" An Lan covered his mouth and nose and leaned back.
"Hoe." Bai Weiwei was so angry at An Lan's behavior that her nails dug deeply into her flesh.
"Okay, one more."
Bai Weiwei looked at An Lan who was leisurely, with a sinister look in her eyes. She hoped that you would still be like this after a while.
After An Lan distributed the farm tools, he felt a bit bored. After cleaning the house, he picked up the distribution book and went to find Huo Linyuan under the pretext of inspection.
But she didn't want to go empty-handed, so she bought some mung beans in the mall and planned to cook them when she returned to the educated youth institute.
As soon as I entered the Youth League Institute, I heard some noise in the dormitory.
An Lan walked lightly, went around to the back and looked out the window.
I saw Li Yanli lying on her bed, tossing and turning, not knowing what she was doing.
It took a while before he left.
An Lan entered the dormitory after hearing no sound from inside. He searched his bed for a long time and finally found a book under his pillow.
She opened it and saw that it was a banned book, and it also contained words that slandered the great man.
The more An Lan watched, the more frightened he became. If someone discovered this, he would not only be criticized, but also go to jail!
This Li Yanli is so cruel!
Since you are the first one, don't blame me for being the tenth!
An Lan closed the book and placed it under Li Yanli's pillow. Then he thought it was not safe, so he stuffed it directly into the pillowcase and zipped it up.
This is foolproof.
After An Lan restored everything to its original place, he left quietly.
Huo Linyuan on this side was very excited. Seeing that Lin Pao and the others were quite far away from him, he reached out to take the note from his pocket and then opened it carefully.
[See you at the grove at the entrance of the village at 9pm, Anlan.]
Huo Linyuan's heart was warmed. He didn't expect An Lan to really ask him out!
They weren't married yet, would this be a bad idea? He didn't know whether he should go or not.
"Brother Huo, what are you looking at?" Suddenly, Lin Pao's voice came from behind.
Huo Linyuan quickly put the note away and pretended to be calm, "Have you finished cutting it?"
"I'll come and help you after you finish mowing."
"Need not."
"Yes, yes, Brother Huo. I want you to teach me how to drive a tractor." After saying that, he picked up the sickle and started cutting the grass regardless of whether Huo Linyuan agreed or not.
Seeing that he couldn't drive him away, Huo Linyuan let him go.
After a while, Huo Linyuan thought of An Lan's words, and an unnatural blush appeared on his dark face. He asked hesitantly: "Lin Pao, if someone invites you to the grove, will you go?"
"What?!"
