"No, no, I can do this job by myself, you can go back now."
Jiang Li quickly waved to Lu Chaoli, but Lu Chaoli came here specifically for her, so how could he leave so easily?
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, you don't have to be polite to me. Go and take a rest."
As Lu Chaoli spoke, he came to the field behind Jiang Li, picked up the hoe and started helping her with the work without saying a word.
Seeing this, Jiang Li hurried over and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Chaoli, whispering, "Why are you here?"
"You're still blaming me. Didn't I tell you to rest at the Youth Institute for two days? Why are you working in the fields today?"
Before seeing Jiang Li, Lu Chaoli didn't know that she would come to work in the fields today. The reason he came was because Jiang Li had an injury on her foot and was unable to move around easily, so he wanted to help her earn work points.
"The blisters on my feet have healed. Look, it doesn't hurt at all."
Jiang Li stomped her feet to prove it, and when she put her feet down, she accidentally stepped on a hard clod of earth, and her body instantly fell backwards!
Lu Chaoli quickly grabbed her arm and looked at her nervously: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, are you okay? Is your foot hurting again?"
"It's okay. I stepped on a hard clod of earth and got mixed up."
Jiang Li relied on Lu Chaoli's strength to stand steady, and comforted him, "It's okay, you look so nervous, I'm really fine."
Jiang Li was about to pick up the hoe to work when she found that Lu Chaoli was still holding her arm.
The moment Jiang Li looked over, Lu Chaoli quickly let go of her hand, her earlobes turned red, and he quickly picked up the hoe and continued to hoe the ground.
Jiang Li naturally did not miss his red earlobe. She curled the corners of her mouth and followed Lu Chaoli with a hoe in her hand.
Lu Chaoli worked quickly and soon distanced himself from Xu Yuanyuan and the others.
Looking at the two people standing side by side in front of her, Xu Yuanyuan smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
Well, Xiao Jiang said at noon that he didn't know whether to stay or go. She thought that he would choose to stay in the end! Xu Yuanyuan retracted her gaze and continued to pick up the hoe. Just as she was about to hoe the ground, she heard a very discordant voice behind her.
"Wow, there's a man helping with the work right after he arrived. Comrade Xiao Jiang is really something!"
Liu Jiayi started to discredit Jiang Li whenever she got the chance, and tried her best to tarnish her image in Zhou Guoqing's mind.
Anyone could hear the sarcasm in Liu Jiayi's tone. Li Zhixiu tugged at Liu Jiayi's arm, signaling her to speak less.
"Am I wrong? Everyone has seen that Comrade Xiao Lu wanted to help others with their work as soon as he arrived!"
Xu Yuanyuan slammed the hoe into the ground and looked at Liu Jiayi with a cold face: "Why, are you jealous that someone is helping Xiao Jiang with his work? If you have the guts, find a man to work for you!"
"You! What does Xu Yuanyuan have to do with you? Stop butting in here!"
"What does it have to do with you if Comrade Xiao Lu helps Xiao Jiang with his work? Why are you talking so much?"
Liu Jiayi was blocked and couldn't utter a complete sentence. Xu Yuanyuan has never lost in a verbal battle!
Liu Jiayi bit her lower lip tightly and glared at Xu Yuanyuan angrily. She didn't know what she remembered but suddenly became proud again.
"I see that she is very familiar with Comrade Xiao Lu. It doesn't seem like they are meeting for the first time. No wonder someone came a day later than us. It turns out that she was there to take care of this matter~"
Liu Jiayi's words became more and more unpleasant, and she implied that Jiang Li was not decent and had a secret meeting with a man as soon as she arrived here.
Hearing Liu Jiayi's false accusation against Jiang Li, Xu Yuanyuan could no longer bear it. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward when Zhou Guoqing suddenly shouted at her.
"That's enough! You two keep fighting each other, are you going to stop? Comrade Xiao Xu, turn around and do your job!"
Xu Yuanyuan pursed her lips and pointed at Liu Jiayi: "If you dare to throw dirty water on Xiao Jiang's head again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
"You dare! If you..."
Liu Jiayi's eyes almost popped out of her head. She was about to curse at Xu Yuanyuan when Zhou Guoqing turned around and glared at her.
Zhou Guoqing glared at Liu Jiayi, and was obviously angry because she threw dirty water at Jiang Li. His saliva flew everywhere when he spoke! Liu Jiayi looked at Zhou Guoqing in disbelief with red eyes. Seeing her crying, Zhou Guoqing became even more annoyed.
"What are you looking at? Go to work! Are you waiting for the villagers to laugh at us educated youth?"
"Jiayi, come here quickly."
Finally, Li Zhixiu pulled Liu Jiayi aside. Seeing this, Lin Jieye and Xi Qingshan also came to Zhou Guoqing, pulled his arms to the side, and separated him from Liu Jiayi.
"Okay, Captain, stop getting angry."
"Yes, Captain. You and Comrade Xiao Liu, calm down. We are all comrades. If you make a scene, people will laugh at you."
"Let's get to work quickly. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to complete today's mission."
As Lin Jieye spoke, he stuffed Zhou Guoqing's hoe into his hands.
Zhou Guoqing took the hoe with a sullen face: "I'm fine, you two don't have to worry about me."
Lin Jiye and Xi Qingshan looked at each other and patted Zhou Guoqing on the shoulder: "Then let's get to work first."
After saying this, the two of them picked up their hoes and continued to work, fearing that they would not be able to complete the tasks assigned to them by the village chief in one day.
Zhou Guoqing stared at Lu Chaoli and Jiang Li who were talking and laughing in front of him. The joints of his hands holding the hoe turned white from using too much force.
hateful!
This Lu Chaoli actually jumped out and stole the limelight from Comrade Xiao Jiang!
Zhou Guoqing glared at Lu Chaoli with gritted teeth, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out.
Lu Chaoli and Jiang Li had no idea what was happening behind them, and they were already far behind everyone else.
With Lu Chaoli's help, Jiang Li completed today's task quickly, and the village chief happened to arrive at this time.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, I have something to discuss with the village chief, so I'll be leaving first."
Lu Chaoli carried the hoe on his shoulder, and his tall body shielded the sun from Jiang Li in front of him.
Jiang Li nodded: "Thank you very much Comrade Xiao Lu today, I will treat you to a meal another day."
Lu Chaoli curled his lips and said to Jiang Li in a joking tone: "Comrade Xiao Jiang already owes me two meals, I remember them all."
Jiang Li chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you'll be there for me. Just ask whenever you want to eat."
"Then I'll go over there?"
"Go ahead, I'll go help Yuanyuan with the work."
"Don't forget to come out after dinner tonight to digest the food. I have something to give you."
Before leaving, Lu Chaoli reminded him again.
"What's so mysterious?"
Jiang Li was full of curiosity. The more Lu Chaoli kept the secret from her, the more she wanted to know.
"You'll know when you get tonight."
After Lu Chaoli finished speaking, he picked up his hoe and walked towards the village chief in front of him. The corners of his eyes were raised and his whole body exuded a sense of joy.
It was difficult for Lu Chaoli to ignore Zhou Guoqing's unfriendly look. When he walked to Zhou Guoqing's side, he deliberately paused.
I just saw a long comment from a baby, so I slightly modified the previous text. It was changed to that the male protagonist went to the educated youth institute without the female protagonist's knowledge, and was afraid that others would gossip after knowing it, so he pretended not to know her. Except for Zhou Guoqing and Liu Jiayi, the villagers would not think much about helping the female protagonist with work, and would only regard it as mutual help between comrades. The brothers were just curious whether they really had a sister-in-law, and they would not tell anyone after confirming it. The reason why Lu's mother was worried about the male protagonist's marriage was that he had never paid attention to this matter and his personality was carefree. She was afraid that he would not love others and was just an old mother who worried about him. There was no mental problem. The male protagonist was a mama's boy. Lu's mother was a very straightforward person. She would super dote on Jiang Li, her daughter-in-law, later. Everyone can raise any logical problems in Wenwen, and I will change them if they can. Love you~ (End of this chapter)
