The rice seedlings had just been planted and the rapeseed planted in winter had been harvested. Before Ruan Mingfu had time to relax, she was assigned to plant peanuts.
To save time, tilling the soil and sowing seeds are done at the same time.
As soon as Ruan Mingfu arrived there, she saw Xie Yanzhao driving a tractor. He had long arms and legs, and was particularly conspicuous in the crowd in his white sweatshirt. The muscles in his forearms when he was working, and his chest muscles were fully exposed...
This man is so damn handsome!
The sun was a bit strong today, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Before he could wipe them off, he was called away by the captain.
There was regret in Ruan Mingfu's beautiful eyes.
Life in the countryside is boring. I go to work as soon as I open my eyes every day. I go to bed at a set time at night. There is no fun at all.
No wonder those old ladies love to gossip so much.
Ruan Mingfu finally found the reason.
"Ruan Zhiqing, I'll dig the pits," her partner happened to be Zhu Hong, "and you just throw the balls into each pit."
"Okay," it's just throwing a peanut, it can't be that difficult.
Zhu Hong is taking care of her.
The peanuts they had were all soaked in medicine and could not be eaten. Ruan Mingfu brought the package of peanuts over, took a handful of peanuts in her small hands, and threw them in one by one.
Planting peanuts is not as tiring as transplanting rice seedlings, but you have to keep your waist bent, which is very tiring.
As the sun grew higher, Ruan Mingfu pounded her waist, her little face wrinkled under her hat.
She used to just enjoy herself, but now she finds that nothing is easy. If she continues to stay in the countryside, she doesn't know what she will be like in two years.
Thinking about it, Ruan Mingfu shuddered.
She is not someone who would put herself in a difficult position.
Anyway, the bastard didn't leave, so what? She tried harder.
Having made up her mind, Ruan Mingfu quietly slipped away during the half-time break.
The peanut field was at the foot of the mountain, and she had just seen that bastard Xie Yanzhao going into the mountain.
…
Ruan Mingfu walked along a winding path, surrounded by bushes that were three people tall, some of which had thorns.
She walked very carefully.
After an unknown amount of time, she could hear voices. Ruan Mingfu poked her head towards the voice and saw Xie Yanzhao and Xu Zhu talking, with a brightly colored pheasant at their feet.
It turned out that he went up the mountain to hunt.
“…When will you be back?”
Xie Yanzhao sat on a big rock with his back to Ruan Mingfu, his long legs crossed, looking unruly.
Hearing this, Ruan Mingfu frowned her beautiful eyebrows:...The bastard is leaving?
Xu Zhu glanced at him and said, "You have some free time. Why don't you stay here for a few more days? You are really... You are not busy enough in the group. It's a rare opportunity to rest for a few days. Don't be so unlucky. Besides, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful..."
At the end of his speech, he looked at Xie Yanzhao with a teasing expression.
Xie Yanzhao rolled his eyes at him.
"Hey," Xu Zhu walked over to sit beside him, "What on earth do you think?"
"What do you think?"
Xie Yanzhao changed his posture, with an unclear look in his eyes.
Xu Zhu: “…”
"Hey, you're pretending, keep pretending," Xu Zhu rolled his eyes, "The lesbian has taken the initiative, why are you still like a blockhead?"
Talking about this, Xu Zhu's face was full of disappointment.
Ruan Mingfu, who was hiding behind, also nodded in agreement.
It’s so hard to hook a bad guy, she’s so tired.
"Why don't you just marry her?" Xu Zhu said, "Ruan Zhiqing is so pretty and can cook, what are you dissatisfied with? Besides, she has a difficult life, and marrying her will solve her urgent problem."
Ever since the lunch box incident that day, Xu Zhu began to inquire about Ruan Mingfu in the village.
Their comrades are locals, which adds a bit of convenience.
Ruan Mingfu nodded vigorously.
These words touched her heart.
If that bastard was like Xu Zhu, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
"So," Xie Yanzhao glanced at him, "marriage is just a way of showing favor to you? You marry whoever you find pitiful?"
Xu Zhu: “…”
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Dog man!
Xu Zhu sat up straight with a serious look on his face, "Don't talk nonsense with me, just tell me what you think of Ruan Zhiqing."
Ruan Mingfu also pricked up her ears quietly.
Xie Yanzhao changed his sitting position to leaning back, with a cigarette dangling from his lips. The rising smoke gradually blurred his vision.
After a long while, he finally said, "I'm not interested in her."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
What does that mean? What does he mean?
Ruan Mingfu didn't listen to what was said next.
It was as if I had been punched in the face. Even the frustration of being rejected in person before was not as strong as this moment.
The color drained away from Ruan Mingfu's face, and for the first time she began to doubt herself.
Her eyes quickly turned red and a layer of mist gathered underneath. Ruan Mingfu sniffed, turned around and stumbled away.
…
When I got back, Zhu Hong had already started.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ruan Mingfu: "You're finally back. The captain just came over to ask where you've been."
After Zhu Hong said this, she felt something was wrong with her and looked up at her carefully.
"Are you okay?"
Ruan Mingfu didn't say anything, she just picked up the bag of peanuts and said, "Hurry up and finish it sooner so we can get off work earlier."
This is not what the Ruan Mingfu in my memory would say.
Zhu Hong was even more surprised and looked at her several more times.
This afternoon, Xie Yanzhao drove a tractor to help the villagers fight, but Ruan Mingfu didn't even look at that place. Her face was tense. Zhu Hong didn't dare to speak either, just silently dug her own hole.
The efficiency is much better than before.
The old captain came over here and looked at Ruan Mingfu working hard, and finally his expression of disappointment was no longer there.
The little old man walked up to Xie Yanzhao, looked at the newly turned land, and smiled like a flower with his big teeth bared.
"Thank you, comrade. Thank you so much."
The land used for planting peanuts is all wasteland in the village. In the past, it took a lot of effort to cultivate this kind of land, and it would take at least three or four days to complete the cultivation.
Now Xie Yanzhao drove a tractor to help, and it was done in one afternoon. The ground was turned over very firmly, and all the weeds and rocks underneath were cleared out.
The old man is now very satisfied with Xie Yanzhao in every way.
I wonder who will get this good guy?
Thinking of this, the old man had an idea.
Although Xiao Xie looks a bit fierce, he is enthusiastic and capable. If you want to live your life, you need to find a reliable man like him.
The old man's attitude changed very quickly. Before he was just Comrade Xie, but now he became Little Xie.
Xie Yanzhao jumped out of the car.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead with the corner of his clothes, and in the process, a small piece of skin on his waist was exposed, revealing his strong and beautiful abdominal muscles.
"You're welcome," Xie Yanzhao took a breath, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, "Serve the people."
The smile on the old man's face deepened.
As he was speaking, Xie Yanzhao suddenly saw Ruan Mingfu not far away from the corner of his eye.
She wrapped herself up tightly, even in such weather, not a bit of skin was exposed. She had a hat on her forehead, which she took off and used as a fan.
Ruan Mingfu was sweating a lot, and her hair was wet and stuck to her temples. Maybe because of the water she drank, her lips were wet like beautiful petals covered with dew.
The only part exposed was the ankle, which was slender and fragile, yet still dazzlingly white under the scorching sun.
Xie Yanzhao suddenly felt a little thirsty.
"Xiao Xie, what are you looking at?"
Ruan Mingfu's figure gradually disappeared, and Xie Yanzhao came back to his senses and said lightly: "Nothing."

When she returned to the educated youth point, Ruan Mingfu was met with a face full of resentment.
It scared her.
Xu Pandi had a sullen face, as if her parents had died, "Why didn't you testify for me?"
God knows what kind of life she has been living these days.
Every two or three hours someone would come to question her, and Xu Pandi could recite all their words. After finally clearing herself of suspicion, she was able to return to the educated youth point.
"I don't follow you every day, how can I know if what you said is true?"
Ruan Mingfu was very confident. If she didn't know that this girl was only good at talking, she would have sent her to a farm for reformation.
Xu Pandi: “…”
After being educated for so long by the police, he no longer dared to speak badly and just looked at Ruan Mingfu with a face full of resentment.
"Pandi, you finally came back, stop making trouble."
The female educated youth who had a good relationship with Xu Pandi was afraid that she would make trouble again, so she quickly pulled her over.
The people at the educated youth site are now really afraid of Ruan Mingfu.
This was a ruthless person who dared to report to the police directly. Even if he was only verbally reprimanded, it was not pleasant to hear. Unlike later generations, people in this era avoided the police like snakes and scorpions.
After dinner, the educated youth gathered in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Zhu Hong held the clothes in her left hand and the needle in her right hand, and sewed the clothes in the sunlight which had not yet completely set.
Ruan Mingfu sat opposite her with a bitter face.
After hesitating for a long time, he asked, "Zhu Zhiqing, what do you think of my appearance?"
"ah?"
Zhu Hong never thought that she would ask this. She raised her head and looked at Ruan Mingfu with a question mark on her face.
Seeing that she had a frown on her face and didn't seem to be joking with her, Zhu Hong said, "Of course you are beautiful. You are recognized as beautiful by the whole village, young and old."
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many gay men trying to please you.
After hearing the answer, Ruan Mingfu was angry and worried.
She is so beautiful, but this bastard doesn't even like her. Is he blind?
Thinking of this, Ruan Mingfu gritted her teeth viciously.
She wanted to see what kind of fairy the man would marry in the future.
What doesn't interest her?
She won't get married yet. Even if the bastard begs her to marry, she won't marry! She will go to the matchmaker tomorrow to find a better candidate, a thousand times or ten thousand times better than the bastard!
Zhu Hong looked at Ruan Mingfu's face which had turned gloomy again, suppressed her curiosity, and still didn't ask.
"Ruan Zhiqing, someone is looking for you."
Ruan Mingfu was still immersed in her own thoughts when she heard someone calling her. She raised her head and looked towards the door curiously.
