Guan Xingyao said to Zhang Jianjun, "Ruyan said they've started the autumn harvest over there, and she told me not to go even if I went. She said I couldn't accompany her, so she asked me not to go. But I insisted on going anyway. I thought I could help her with the work. She's so delicate and weak, she's been unable to endure any hardship since she was a child. If I go and help her, she'll have some relief."
Zhang Jianjun smiled and said, "Then I can help Nuannuan with her work. It's a perfect time for us to go."
"That's right, I must go, I must go."
They still followed the original plan and prepared to set off tomorrow.
In the evening, another male educated youth moved into the educated youth site. This male educated youth was an old educated youth here. He married a girl from a local villager three months ago and moved into that villager's home. However, a few days ago, his wife insisted on divorcing him. Later, it was discovered that she had found another woman outside.
He could have accused the other party of being a cheating wife, but he was an educated youth from another place and could not afford to offend the locals. Even after being cuckolded, he had to agree to divorce the other party. Only today did he settle the matter, move out, and return to the educated youth site to live.
The autumn harvest began the next day.
Because the autumn harvest was too busy and this year's estimated grain output was much higher than in previous years, all the educated youth and party members had to go to the fields. Even some of the children and the elderly who did not go to the fields at that time had to go to the fields to rush to harvest.
Guadaner and Xu Nuannuan also had to join in the harvest, but the team leader didn't have many requirements for Xu Nuannuan. As long as she was in the fields, it was up to her to decide which field to work in and what work to do.
Xu Nuannuan wanted to work with Jiang Ye, so she went to the third team where Jiang's family was to collect peanuts. The sheep were eating the grass that had been stored before in the sheep pen, and they were fed regularly by Old Man Zhang so they would not go hungry.
Liu Cuiying was still anxiously waiting for Guan Yurong to mail the medicine. If things here could be resolved quickly, she didn't want to stay here any longer.
Fang Suyun and Xu Zhenqing did not let down their guard against her, for fear that she would do something secretly, but she behaved very well and they did not notice anything unusual.
When it was time to work, Liu Cuiying was lazy and didn't want to go to the fields to work. Fang Suyun and Xu Zhenqing didn't want to leave her alone at home, so they suggested that she go to the fields with them.
During the rush to harvest, the people in the cowshed also have to go to the fields to collect food and temporarily stop reclaiming the wasteland.
Liu Cuiying used her trump card again: "I don't want to go to the fields. If you force me to go, I will tell everyone about the three of you."
Xu Zhenqing said, "I don't think you really want to stay here with us. If you don't go work in the fields, what are we going to eat? You must have another purpose for coming here. If you want to harm us, then once you achieve that purpose, the damage to us will definitely be much greater than revealing our relationship."
"If I don't have a purpose, what purpose could I have?" Liu Cuiying felt guilty. "Okay, I'll go with you, so you won't be suspicious of me forever."
As soon as Liu Cuiying participated in the labor, the team leader naturally noticed her and learned about her identity.
The team leader was busy directing the autumn harvest and didn't say anything. He just asked her to work with Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun, and her work points would be recorded in Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun's points.
The four of them were assigned to break corn. Liu Cuiying had never done farm work before, and she was almost exhausted to death at the end of the day.
It had been three days since she called Guan Yurong. According to Guan Yurong's previous speed in getting the medicine, it would take three days to get the medicine, and then it would have to be mailed, which would take a week in total.
Oh, she finds it very hard to endure just one day of farm work here. If she continues doing this for a few more days, she will be exhausted to death.
But when she thought about her future wealth and family happiness, she had to grit her teeth and persevere.
In the evening, because Xu Nuannuan guessed that Zhang Jianjun would come the next day, she told Jiang Ye about this matter. She was afraid that when the time came, she and Zhang Jianjun would meet, and Jiang Ye would be jealous without knowing the truth.
"Aye, let me tell you something. My brother who is a soldier may come to visit me tomorrow."
"A brother who's in the army?" Brother! "Aren't you an only child?"
"I'm an only child. He's the son of a friend of my parents'. He's three years older than me and grew up with me. Since our two families have a good relationship, he's kind of my older brother."
Jiang Ye frowned. When he heard the words that they grew up together, he felt inexplicably sour in his heart.
Why didn't he grow up with his wife?
Xu Nuannuan reached out and gently stroked the wrinkles between his brows with her jade-white fingertips.
"What's wrong with you? Are you jealous? He is my brother, don't let your imagination run wild. If I had anything to do with him, I wouldn't be dating you."
"No, I regret not being with you since you were little. It would be great if we could grow up together."
The worry on his face wasn't exaggerated at all. Xu Nuannuan comforted him, "Although we didn't grow up together, we can grow old together. You still have dozens of years to spend with me. Think about it, aren't you happy?"
Jiang Ye immediately smiled. His wife really knew how to make him happy.
"When will he arrive tomorrow? Do I need to pick him up?"
"I don't know the exact time yet. He came with his comrade, who also came to see his sister. I guess his comrade's sister is also an educated youth here. Who could it be?"
Xu Nuannuan thought of Lu Xinyue and Wang Jiajia, but she would soon find out who it was.
The next morning, Xu Nuannuan went to the village entrance as soon as she got up, but she didn't see Zhang Jianjun. After dinner, she went to check again, but still didn't see Zhang Jianjun, so she went to work in the fields.
Anyway, Zhang Jianjun is a soldier and has a good physique, so it is no problem for him to walk dozens of miles with his luggage.
At around three or four in the afternoon, Guadaner ran over to tell Xu Nuannuan the news.
"Sister, sister, there's a man carrying something who wants to see you. He says his name is Zhang Jianjun."
"Brother Jianjun is here, Guadan, where is he?"
"Over there."
He was pointing when Zhang Jianjun came over. She was wearing a neat military uniform, had a strong build, held her head high and chest puffed out. The things in her hands didn't seem to put any pressure on him at all.
Next to him was Guan Xingyao, who went to Xu Nuannuan's side with him. Both of them were over 1.8 meters tall, with straight bodies, like two small mountains pressing down on them.
Xu Nuannuan felt okay because compared to them, Jiang Ye was taller and as strong as them. Thinking of this, she began to doubt Jiang Ye's identity again.
