Chapter 5 Give Him Candy
Lu Ping'an watched with great interest as Lu Guodong taught the educated youth how to work.
Not to mention, although he usually only knows how to open his mouth and shout, he is very good at teaching others, which motivates him so much that he wants to go to the fields.
He considerately handed a towel to Old Man Lu, and successfully won the response of "Go wherever it's cool."
Lu Ping'an stretched out his long legs, put his hands behind his back like a big shot, and then pretended to be nonchalant as he slid his eyes to the slender figure.
Her jet-black hair was tied into two braids that hung down at her shoulders, swaying with her movements, and her fair face turned red from the sun.
Tsk, I wonder if she can lift the hoe with her thin arms and legs.
Shen Xiaoyue was so tired that she almost fainted. The sun was scorching hot on her body near noon. She felt like her back had become a baking tray, and anything she put on it would be cooked.
"Xiaoyue, how about I help you?"
Although Xie Ning felt uncomfortable, he knew that Xiaoyue would not agree even if he asked.
Xie Ning knew that Shen Xiaoyue went to the countryside to take care of him, and he also knew that she had asked her parents for a lot of things for him.
It would be better to use this opportunity to win the favor of the girl.
"OK."
Shen Xiaoyue was not vague at all and agreed immediately. Are you kidding me? If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, do you think she is a fool?
Xie Ning didn't expect her to agree. His body stiffened and his face was full of disbelief. He felt pain in the palm of his hand where he had just held the hoe.
Seeing this, Chen Xing immediately defended Xie Ning: "Sister, everyone has to work, how can you ask Brother Xie Ning to help you? Doesn't Brother Xie Ning feel tired?"
Shen Xiaoyue shrugged innocently, and blinked twice with her big eyes: "Ah, Brother Xie Ning, if you can't do it, you should have said it earlier. If you didn't take the initiative to ask me, I wouldn't have asked you for help."
Let me ask you, which man can tolerate being told no?
Xie Ning couldn't stand it anyway.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to take over the work from Shen Xiaoyue.
Who would have thought that Shen Xiaoyue took two steps back and carefully scanned him from top to bottom several times. Her delicate little face was full of regret, and she muttered: "It shouldn't be... He looks quite strong..."
He also sighed in agreement.
Although it was not stated explicitly, the tone alone makes people imagine a lot.
In this era, being healthy and strong is considered beautiful. Although Xie Ning doesn't look like a muscular man, he is tall and big. Can't he even do this little job?
The villagers nearby were a little disgusted. They thought that being polite was good, but what was the point if he couldn’t work?
It was not right for Xie Ning to refute, nor was it right not to refute. It was also not right for Xie Ning to continue with her work. She held her breath and glared at Shen Xiaoyue and Shen Xing.
Shen Xiaoyue looked at him innocently with her big black eyes, without stopping her hands at all.
When it was time to cook, Shen Xiaoyue looked at the large cornmeal pancakes made of coarse grains in the pot and found it difficult to swallow for a moment.
I hadn't even had a sip of water the whole morning, and I had to eat something dry.
Looking outside, Lu Ping'an was still lying under the tree with a piece of cloth over his face to block the sun. He didn't know if he was awake or not. Secretary Lu didn't care about him. If he was hungry, he would go home to find food and had no time to pay attention to him.
After working for a whole morning, Shen Xiaoyue's anger subsided a lot. She knew that she was somewhat wrong and felt stronger. The two of them hadn't spoken to each other yet, and Lu Ping'an might not even know her.
I simply grabbed two pieces of cake and walked around from behind, wanting to talk to him.
It seems like he brought a thermos cup, so it’s not too much for her to ask for some water to drink, right?
Lu Ping'an was almost fainting from the heat and didn't understand why he was here.
He seemed to want to meet the educated youth, but the educated youth was shameless. When he saw him, he stared at him and smiled. He didn't say anything, just looked at him, making him not know how to start talking.
You can't ask her to stop looking at you, right? He seems so narcissistic...
Big drops of sweat dripped down, and Lu Ping'an's face, covered under the cloth, was steaming.
Lu Ping'an concluded that the reason why he didn't sleep early in the morning and ran here to suffer was probably because he was possessed by a ghost.
He pulled the cloth off his face and stood up to go home.
"Comrade Lu."
Shen Xiaoyue became a little anxious when she saw that he was about to leave. In her panic, she almost called out the wrong name. She quickly pressed her teeth against the tip of her tongue to stop the name from coming out of her mouth.
That was close. I almost called the wrong thing.
She was afraid that she would be charged with hooliganism.
Lu Ping'an heard someone calling him. The voice was unfamiliar and soft, with a hint of easily noticeable joy in the tone. He turned his head slowly and hesitantly.
Then he saw the bold female educated youth standing under the willow tree behind him, holding two corn cakes and smiling at him happily.
She has a palm-sized face, big eyes with dark pupils and thick and curly eyelashes. When she smiles, she looks like a small fan. Her delicate porcelain-white skin glows in the sun and her lips are radiant.
The midday sun was very hot, but Lu Ping'an felt that the smile was a little dazzling for no reason, as if it was even brighter than the sun.
Lu Ping'an swallowed, his eyes began to wander again, his calm heart began to beat wildly, and the heartbeat coming from his chest was stronger than ever before.
He was not used to this feeling and his first reaction was to escape.
He looked at the gently swaying willow branches and thought gloomily that perhaps the wind was too strong.
There is not much time for lunch break, and the time to talk to Lu Pingan is also limited.
Shen Xiaoyue didn't care about his daydreaming look, took two deep breaths, and smiled sweetly: "Hello, Comrade Lu, my name is Shen Xiaoyue, and I'm a new educated youth."
Shen Xiaoyue.
The three words seemed to circle around the tip of his tongue and were swallowed silently by Lu Ping'an.
"Comrade Lu, I have some candy here, do you want some?"
The rosy mouth opened and closed, and Shen Xiaoyue said something. He didn't hear it clearly, but he seemed to hear the word "sugar". It was magical. Even though he hadn't put it in his mouth, he felt like he could taste the sweetness.
Lu Ping'an said nothing, just stared at her blankly.
Shen Xiaoyue suddenly began to pity him. She didn't know how Lu Ping'an, who was so dazed, climbed up later. He must have worked hard and been pitiful.
Except for the time when Lu Ping'an threw a tantrum and complained in the beginning in order to keep her, after he successfully aroused her guilt, he never mentioned those not-so-smooth days again.
Shen Xiaoyue never had a real sense of the difficulty he was going through.
After all, when he met Lu Ping'an, he already looked like a successful person. Even though he was still clingy in front of her, he had already lost his youthfulness and childishness.
Now suddenly seeing the young Lu Pingan, he was so silly, and his clear eyes could see through him at a glance.
Fortunately, she is understanding and tolerant, and does not despise him for being silly and stupid.
Not only did she not dislike it, but she also noticed that Lu Ping'an was not too resistant, so Shen Xiaoyue simply pulled his hand over and stuffed the candy into his palm.
