Chapter 8 This isn't because I'm afraid of being presumptuous.
I wonder if they will give up their determination to take revenge on her after she apologized to Shen Yingying today and said that she has let go of Gu Qingke and will not bother them anymore.
Although she thought the chances were slim, she still gave it a try, just in case the two of them really gave up on taking revenge on her.
She made a promise, but Shen Yingying remained clear-headed and said, "You have caused me a lot of harm. I can't forgive you, and I don't believe you."
Su Tangtang hummed in agreement. "I know I hurt you deeply before, and I don't expect your forgiveness. Whether you believe it or not, I will keep my word and never bother you again."
Shen Yingying didn't say anything more, but looked at her with a very complicated look, which made Su Tangtang feel a little uneasy.
She said, "Let's go in, dinner will be served soon."
After saying that, she went inside first, leaving Shen Yingying alone in the courtyard, bewildered and lost in thought.
When Wu Xiaojia and the others returned from outside, they saw Shen Yingying standing blankly in the yard. She asked, "Yingying, what's wrong? Why don't you go inside?"
Wu Xiaojia's voice was a bit loud, and Shen Yingying snapped out of her daze. She said, "It's nothing, I'm just standing in the yard to cool off."
Zhou Yan: "I feel a bit chilly."
Shen Yingying grinned and said, "It's a bit chilly, but the breeze feels quite nice."
Lin Lang: "I also think that the air in the countryside is much fresher than in the city."
After chatting for a few minutes, the group went inside.
Tonight's dinner is porridge, vegetables, and steamed buns.
After a long day of work, they ate a little faster than usual, because they were so hungry that they couldn't help but eat quickly to fill their stomachs.
After dinner, the production team asked everyone to report on their progress and the amount of work to be done the next day.
Zhou Yanjia spoke first, saying, "We've already finished watering today, and we'll build the arched shed tomorrow."
Wu Xiaojia then added, "We are too."
The director looked at Su Tangtang.
Su Tangtang: "We've already watered the plants today. You can't plant anything right after watering the soil. We'll germinate the cucumber seeds at home tomorrow."
As Su Tangtang finished speaking, Shen Yingying added, "We've also finished watering our land. Tomorrow we'll lay down the mulch and start germinating the buds."
Perhaps due to the exhaustion of a busy day, Lin Lang spoke weakly, "We are too."
"OK, it's just that Zhou Yan and Wu Xiaojia's progress is a bit slow. Try harder to catch up."
Wu Xiaojia: "Okay, director."
Zhou Yan: "Okay."
The director grunted in agreement, picked up a stack of papers from the table next to him, and said to everyone, "These are the preliminary materials for taking the harvester driver's license test. Everyone, please prepare them in the next few days and then submit them to the production team."
After he finished speaking, he handed out A4 sheets of paper to everyone.
"By the way, when you have some free time, download a coding practice app and do some practice questions."
Everyone responded with a shout.
The director gave a few more instructions, and then everyone went home.
As Su Tangtang stood up to leave, Han Yang called out to her, "Su Tangtang, wait a moment."
Su Tangtang turned to look at him in confusion.
After everyone else left, Han Yang led her upstairs.
The two sat on the balcony.
Han Yang looked at her and said, "The harvester is a large machine and difficult to operate."
Su Tangtang looked at him and chuckled, "You want me to give up?"
Han Yang nodded, "I don't recommend you take the exam."
Su Tangtang knew he meant well, but she still wanted to take the exam; she felt she could do it.
She said, "It's okay, I can do it."
Her attitude was firm, and her gaze was resolute.
Han Yang wanted to say something more, but she stopped him, "Don't try to persuade me. The more you try to persuade me, the more I want to take the exam."
Han Yang: "..."
He is completely unresponsive to reason.
Finally, he sighed and said, "Okay, but be careful. I don't want anyone to get hurt on my variety show."
Su Tangtang smiled, revealing her neat teeth, "Okay."
Han Yang paused for a moment, then said, "You've been doing well lately. If your brother saw this, he'd be ecstatic."
When I went out for dinner and drinks with Su Tanghao before, he always mentioned his sister, and he seemed disappointed in her.
"Just consider it as me turning over a new leaf," Su Tangtang said with a smile.
"The phrase 'repent and reform' is used brilliantly."
The light on the balcony wasn't very bright, but Su Tangtang saw that the corners of his eyes curved slightly, as if he were smiling.
"I used to be too crazy. I've recently figured it out. What's not mine will never be mine, and what's mine will never escape me."
Han Yang: "It's good that you can figure it out."
"It's getting late, let's go back."
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
Han Yang hummed in agreement, and Su Tangtang turned and left. Only after her figure disappeared from sight did Han Yang turn his gaze away.
Su Tangtang went downstairs and saw Huo Yizhou standing at the door.
The lights at the entrance flickered, casting a long shadow on the ground.
His tall and upright figure gave people an invisible sense of security.
Su Tangtang walked to his side. "I thought you went back. Were you waiting for me?"
Huo Yizhou glanced at her and said bluntly, "If I wasn't waiting for you, was I waiting for Han Yang?"
His voice was cold and his angular face was expressionless.
Su Tangtang chuckled twice, "It's not that I'm afraid of being presumptuous."
Huo Yizhou paused for a moment, then said, "Don't be afraid, you don't have it."
Su Tangtang: "..."
"Let's hurry back."
-
The night is dark, insects chirp, and the moon hangs high.
Shen Yingying turned off the camera and lay down in bed. Seeing this, Gu Qingke put down his phone and hugged her.
Shen Yingying rested her head on his chest. "Su Tangtang told me today that she has given up on you and will no longer bother us. She even swore to God."
Gu Qingke sneered, "You believe that?"
Shen Yingying shook her head, leaned against his chest, and looked up at him. "I don't believe it, but judging from her expression and her behavior over this period of time, it doesn't seem like she's lying. It seems like it's true."
Gu Qingke hugged her tightly and kissed her earlobe. "She thinks it's all in the past? What about the suffering and pain you endured?"
Hearing this, Shen Yingying felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
Gu Qingke's eyes darkened slightly. He gently brushed her eye with his fingertips, his voice low and resolute, "I will not let those who bullied you get away with it."
Shen Yingying bit her lip and hesitated, "But..."
“No buts,” he said, ruffling her hair, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Shen Yingying scoffed lightly from the side, "Su Tangtang has the Su family backing her up; it won't be easy to mess with her."
Gu Qingke's lips curled into a cold smile. "No rush. I have plenty of ways to deal with this after the variety show ends."
His tone was so certain that Shen Yingying felt a sudden panic and instinctively grabbed his sleeve. "You...you won't cause any trouble, will you?"
Gu Qingke chuckled softly, but her eyes were devoid of warmth. "Don't worry, it's just letting her taste the bitter fruit she sowed."
Shen Yingying finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
-
After returning home, Su Tangtang downloaded a practice question app on her phone, and also helped Huo Yizhou download one.
She opened the software and looked at the questions inside. "They seem similar to the questions for a C1 driver's license."
Huo Yizhou said with a serious expression, "They are all connected."
After studying it for a while, Su Tangtang said, "There are four subjects to take: Subject 1, theoretical knowledge test; Subject 2, driving skills test in a driving range; Subject 3, field operation skills test; and Subject 4, road driving skills test."
Gu Qingke looked up at her and said, "You have a lot of courage."
Su Tangtang chuckled unconsciously, then belatedly realized, "Is it because you admire me a little bit?"
A slight smile played on her lips, her eyes gleamed, and her words were brimming with confidence.
You're overthinking it.
As he finished speaking, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.
Su Tangtang scoffed, "Alright then."
After reviewing ten questions, Su Tangtang went to take a practice test. She did one hundred questions and got half of them wrong. Incredulously, she showed the test to Huo Yizhou, saying, "These are questions that are similar to the driving test, yet I got so many wrong."
Huo Yizhou narrowed his eyes slightly, "Read the questions a few more times."
Su Tangtang sighed, "I can't stand watching it, I just want to simulate it."
Huo Yizhou: "Have some patience."
Su Tangtang craned her neck to look at his phone and saw that he was also answering questions. "You didn't even look at the questions either."
He raised his eyebrows. "I got them all right."
Su Tangtang: "..."
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.
Su Tangtang scoffed and continued working on her practice problems.
At 11:30, the two turned off the lights and went to bed.
I'm tired from working all day, but I can fall asleep as soon as I get a bed at night.
Su Tangtang slept very well and was woken up by the chirping of birds outside in the morning.
She came out of the inner room, only to find that Huo Yizhou was not there.
She walked to the front door, puzzled. As she stretched, she saw Huo Yizhou carrying a bag of things and walking over, his clothes soaking wet.
"Did you fall into the river?" Su Tangtang asked in surprise.
Huo Yizhou glanced at her and said, "That's an exaggeration."
Su Tangtang chuckled twice, "How many kilometers did you run?"
Huo Yizhou thought for a moment, "Eight kilometers."
Su Tangtang exclaimed, "Wow! So many! What time did you get up?"
Five o'clock.
Su Tangtang gave him a thumbs up, "Awesome."
She looked at the bag in his hand and asked, "What's this?"
The bag was black, so Su Tangtang couldn't see it clearly.
Huo Yizhou reached out and handed it to her, "It's a sun hat I bought."
Su Tangtang exclaimed in delight, "You didn't forget even while running! You're such a kind person!"
Huo Yizhou narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a low laugh, "Stop trying to mislead me."
A bright smile spread across her face, and she took the sun hat out of the black plastic bag.
It's a straw hat with a large brim and a pink bow on it.
Su Tangtang: "It looks great, thank you."
"I think this one without the bow looks better."
His eyes flickered. "I won't switch with you."
Su Tangtang: "..."
She wasn't even thinking about changing!
-
The two went to the program location for breakfast and then came back to work on cucumber seeds.
Su Tangtang had already taken the seeds out to dry a couple of days ago.
"I need a big basin," Su Tangtang searched the yard for a long time but couldn't find one.
Huo Yizhou: "I'll go borrow it."
"How many can I borrow?"
Su Tangtang held up two fingers at him, "The basin needs to be big."
Huo Yizhou turned and walked out of the house. "Okay."
After Huo Yizhou left, Su Tangtang took a bucket to pump water. She used a ladle to scoop water into the pump well and then pumped it quickly until water came out.
The well pumped out a lot of water, but it felt like it took her a long time to pump out a bucket of water. After pumping the water, she carried the bucket to the kitchen.
They had never used the kitchen.
It was covered in dust again in just a few days.
Su Tangtang opened the pot lid and found that the iron pot was rusty, so she poured in water to wash it.
She washed the pot three times before it was clean. She poured water into the pot, put the lid on, and then went out to gather firewood.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Huo Yizhou carrying two large aluminum basins in each hand. The two basins were very large and looked heavy, but he carried them with remarkable ease.
