Jiang Li curled her lips and walked towards the sound. After hearing her footsteps, Lu Chaoli quickly hid behind a big tree.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, stop hiding. I see you."

Jiang Li accurately came to the big tree where Lu Chaoli was hiding. After hearing her voice, Lu Chaoli walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Here, I give you my hat."

Jiang Li handed Lu Chaoli's hat to him.

When Jiang Li met Lu Chaoli this afternoon, he was not wearing a hat. She wanted to return the hat to him when they were working in the field, but Lu Chaoli was afraid that she would be exposed to the sun and kept refusing. So Jiang Li took out the hat for him when they met in the evening.

Lu Chaoli took the hat handed over by Jiang Li and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, I just happen to have something to give you."

Under Jiang Li's curious gaze, Lu Chaoli took out the hat hidden behind him.

"For me?"

Jiang Li looked at the hat in Lu Chaoli's hand in surprise, and took it when he handed it to her.

"I just happened to see it when I went to town yesterday. I saw Comrade Xiao Jiang wasn't wearing a hat that day so I bought it. I don't know if you like this style."

"The hat is very nice, I like it."

Jiang Li looked at the sun hat in her hand and looked up at Lu Chaoli.

Her eyes were filled with smiles, and her smile was like a flower trembling in the breeze in the early morning light, which made Lu Chaoli lose his mind for a moment.

Jiang Li said as she lifted the hat and put it on her head, looking up at Lu Chaoli: "How is it? Does this hat look good?"

Lu Chaoli's throat slid slightly: "Good, it looks good."

The hat looks good, and the person looks even better.

Lu Chaoli added silently in his heart.

Jiang Li smiled and when she bent down to tie the hat string around her chin, she found that it was tied in a knot. She fiddled with it for a long time but couldn't untie it.

"Let me do it."

As Lu Chaoli spoke, he bent down and approached Jiang Li, taking the knotted hat string from her hand.

Jiang Li looked at Lu Chaoli in front of her. At this moment, he was lowering his eyes and carefully untying her hat string. The moonlight spread on him, making his hard and deep brows soften a little.

Lu Chaoli quickly untied the knotted hat. He held the two hat strings with both hands and gently tied them around Jiang Li's chin.

"Okay, now it won't get tangled anymore."

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyelids and met Jiang Li's eyes.

Looking at Jiang Li who was so close to him, Lu Chaoli's breathing stagnated, and ripples appeared in his deep peach blossom eyes.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, how much is this hat? I'll give it to you."

Jiang Li spoke up, breaking the silence between the two.

Lu Chaoli came to his senses and straightened up instantly. He waved his hand at Jiang Li and said, "Comrade Jiang, don't be polite to me. This hat is a gift from me!"

"How can that be? I can't take your things for free!"

"How about this, remember another meal?"

Lu Chaoli looked at Jiang Li in a joking tone and refused her offer to use the money to buy a hat.

"Well, then, okay, but just remembering it is not enough. Tell me a specific time so I can treat you to a meal, so that you don't have to worry about it all the time."

Jiang Li felt bad and urged Lu Chaoli to tell her a specific time so that she could repay the favor.

Lu Chaoli smiled and said, "I'm fine with that. Comrade Xiao Jiang will make all the arrangements."

"Then...how about three days later?"

"My cooking isn't very good, shall we go to town?"

Jiang Li had saved a lot of money while doing odd jobs in the city. She had just calculated that she could treat Lu Chaoli to three meals, let alone thirty meals.

Lu Chaoli nodded, he lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Li, he had already begun to imagine every detail of his trip to the town with Jiang Li, the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

However, Jiang Li's next sentence stopped him from laughing.

Jiang Li said, "Yuanyuan and I are planning to go to town to buy some food. Let's go together. I'll treat you two to a meal."

Lu Chaoli was stunned: "We...three?"

Jiang Li tilted her head and looked at him: "Yes, Yuanyuan has been helping me since I arrived at the Youth Institute. I want to treat her to a meal to thank her. What, do you mind? If you mind, Yuanyuan and I will postpone it for a day."

Lu Chaoli waved his hand quickly: "No, I don't mind. The town is a long way away. Comrade Xiao Jiang doesn't have to make a special trip."

"Okay, then it's settled. If you feel uncomfortable, you can bring your friends along. It will be more fun with more people."

Lu Chaoli nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Comrade Xiao Jiang."

"Then I'll go back first?"

Jiang Li said this and pointed to the Youth League Institute behind her.

"Go back quickly. You must be exhausted after a day's work. Comrade Xiao Jiang, go to bed early."

Although he really wanted to stay with Jiang Li for a while, Lu Chaoli urged her to go back and rest as soon as possible after working in the fields all day.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, go back and rest soon. Good night."

"Well, Comrade Xiao Jiang, just call me by my name. Everyone in the village calls me that. Comrade Xiao Lu is a little uncomfortable hearing that."

Lu Chaoli scratched his head, wanting to hear Jiang Li call his name.

Jiang Li clasped her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and said softly, "Then... Lu Chaoli, good night."

Lu Chaoli's eyes lit up and he smiled, "That sounds much better now! Good night, Comrade Xiao Jiang!"

"Good night, I'm going home."

"Go back quickly!"

Jiang Li smiled at Lu Chaoli, then turned and walked towards the Youth League Institute.

Lu Chaoli stood there without moving, his eyes following Jiang Li's back. He did not leave until Jiang Li walked into the Youth League Institute.

Jiang Li's beautiful voice echoed in his mind. Lu Chaoli scratched his head and laughed like a fool.

Comrade Xiao Jiang called his name!

Say goodnight to him!

“Ouch—”

Lu Chaoli shouted excitedly in the woods as if he had won a battle, and then quickly covered his mouth.

This place is not far from the Youth Institute. Comrade Xiao Jiang would not have heard his voice, would he? Would he laugh at him? Thinking of this, Lu Chaoli hurriedly ran forward, as if he was escaping in panic! Lu Chaoli counted the days for the past three days. He was so excited when he thought about going to the town with Comrade Xiao Jiang. He didn't sleep much last night because of excitement. He got up before the rooster crowed this morning.

Crash——

The sound of Lu Chaoli pouring water to wash up startled Lu's father and mother. They opened their eyes in a daze and were stunned when they saw each other.

"His father (his mother)?"

They both spoke at the same time, each thinking that the noise in the yard was caused by the other.

"The one outside the courtyard?"
