It was a hot and humid day, with the sun shining brightly, and the fields were dry and cracked.

Everyone in the village was sweating profusely in the fields to harvest the crops. Some of them were shouting slogans and striving to be the best. They were very active.

A group of educated youth also followed suit to rob.

Fortunately, the old educated youth have adapted to life in the village.

Several new educated youth, such as Mu Qingqing, Xu Mengqi, Xia Shanshan, Zhu Yingfang and other female comrades, were almost crying from exhaustion after a week of harvesting in the village.

An Meixue, who had been living a life of luxury in the Chiang family all her life, also could not adapt to life in the countryside.

During this week's harvest, everyone goes out early and comes back late every day. Some get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than pigs.

I was so tired that I didn't even want to take a shower. I went back to the educated youth camp, had dinner, and fell asleep.

The next day I had to go back to work.

Fortunately, not long after, at noon, the team leader banged the gong to signal the end of work, and a group of educated youth returned to the educated youth site in twos and threes.

In the educated youth's yard, some people started gossiping.

The gossip was still about Yang Shuying's previous entanglement with Jiang Jingyan.

A male educated youth asked, "Why haven't I seen that village girl Yang Shuying showing any courtesy to Brother Jiang recently?"

After saying that, he rushed to Jiang Jingyan who had just come out of the house and said, "Brother Jiang, it's not that you were too hurtful last time!"

When the male educated youth started talking, the others were also a little surprised, but they were too tired from the summer harvest recently and few people were gossiping.

Now that everyone is sitting together, they can't help but gossip.

Jiang Jingyan still had a cold and disgusted expression: "Don't mention her to me!"

Last time he heard from Mei Xue, it was very likely that Yang Shuying was angry and embarrassed because he didn't like her, so she deliberately used insects to scare Mei Xue.

"I guess he has self-awareness and knows that he is not worthy of Brother Jiang!" said Zhou Ming, who has the best relationship with Jiang Jingyan.

"How can that country girl compare to An Zhiqing? Brother Jiang has a fiancée like An Zhiqing, how could he like a country girl?" Wang Jing said.

"What's wrong with the village girl? The village girl is pretty good. I saw the daughter of the Yang family bring fish soup to Brother Jiang before!"

When they heard the word "fish soup", everyone swallowed hard in disbelief.

We have heard before that the daughter of the Yang family has been sending food to Jiang Jingyan. Some people have seen it several times, including boiled eggs and dried sweet potatoes.

But no one had ever thought that the daughter of the Yang family had actually given something as luxurious as fish soup.

Someone exclaimed: "Brother Jiang, did the daughter of the Yang family really send you fish soup?"

Everyone's eyes were on him, and Jiang Jingyan looked a little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, ever since Yang Shuying started sending him gifts, he

I don't want to accept it nor do I want to get entangled with the other party.

Later, Mei Xue kept saying she was hungry, so he gave all the food Yang Shuying sent to her.

Looking at his expression, how could anyone not understand?

"Brother Jiang, do you really dislike the daughter of the Yang family?" someone asked gossipingly, and then changed the subject and said, "I think it's not bad to marry a village girl, at least you'll have food to eat, not to mention that the daughter of the Yang family is still quite pretty."

An Meixue had just returned from work when she heard someone persuading Jiang Jingyan to marry Yang Shuying and comparing him with her.

How can Yang Shuying compare to her?

An Meixue's face turned pale with anger.

Fortunately, not long after, she heard Brother Jiang clearly express that he did not like Yang Shuying, and she felt better.

However, someone else in the yard said, "During the summer harvest, the daughter of the Yang family didn't work in the fields once, and she even went to the county town this morning!"

"What do you think the daughter of the Yang family will give to Brother Jiang this time?"

"No matter what Yang Shuying gives to Brother Jiang, he definitely won't be interested in it!" Zhu Yingfang rushed into the yard and was the first to speak up for An Meixue.

Seeing that the female educated youth had all returned, the male educated youth stopped gossiping and everyone gathered together to have lunch.

The educated youth ate coarse grains with bitter faces. An Meixue also ate coarse grains and her face looked very unhappy.

Yang Shuying hadn't sent any food to Brother Jiang in the past few days. Thinking of the eggs and fish soup that Yang Shuying had sent him before, An Meixue swallowed hard.

During lunch break, Mu Qingqing looked at An Meixue a few times before lying down on the bed, and suddenly said, "Meixue, why do I think you look darker recently?"

An Meixue's face froze.

Mu Qingqing continued: "Didn't you say before that you can't get tanned by the sun?"

The educated youths who shared the room all looked at An Meixue's face and found that she had become much darker recently and her skin was not as good as before.

Zhu Yingfang was quick to speak and actually nodded in agreement: "It seems to be a little darker."

An Meixue's cheeks felt burning, her nails digging into the flesh, her face looked extremely gloomy, and there was a vicious flash in her eyes. If Yang Shuying hadn't snatched her golden finger, she would never have turned black!

An Meixue was now certain that Yang Shuying had stolen her golden finger, otherwise why would she not dare to come out to see her when she went to Yang's house several times.

The more An Meixue thought about it, the more hateful she became, and she became anxious.

But she could only force a smile with a stiff face: "Maybe it's because of the hot sun this week."

"Yes, the sun has been shining brightly these days. Who can avoid getting tanned?"

At this time, Xia Shanshan suddenly changed the subject: "Did Yang Shuying really go to the county town this morning?"

Without waiting for anyone to reply, Xia Shanshan continued with a sour tone: "I didn't expect

The girls from our cities are not as lucky as a country girl. "

Xia Shanshan's words made everyone feel very uncomfortable. Although they were all from the city, most of their families valued boys over girls. Who loved their daughters as much as the Yang family did?

Even when they were fighting, he didn't let his daughter-in-law help.

A hint of jealousy flashed deep in An Meixue's eyes.

Xu Mengqi and Zhu Yingfang, who hated Yang Shuying the most, felt even more upset. Why did Yang Shuying get to go to the county town while they worked so hard?

Mu Qingqing said, "By the way, Meixue, I just heard some people in the village say that you and Jiang Zhiqing are not really engaged, and you are just helping Jiang Zhiqing to avoid romantic relationships."

Yang Shuying, who was panting after walking on the mountain road for three and a half hours, had no idea what had happened at the educated youth point.

Arriving at the county seat, she looked around curiously.

The county town was more dilapidated than she had imagined. Quotations from great men were written everywhere on the walls, such as "Serve the People" and "Down with All Reactionaries", which gave it a very retro feel.

The people coming and going in the county town were obviously dressed much better than the people in the village. Most of them wore blue work clothes, probably the workers of this era.

Workers were the most glorious in the 1960s. They ate rationed food and received wages every month. Their lives were much better than those in the countryside.

Yang Shuying had no intention of listening to her mother and going to Yang's second brother's house.

From the original owner's memory, Yang Jianxing, the second brother of the Yang family, was also a worker. He lived in the county town and was a phoenix man.

When the original owner was in the first year of high school, she lived in the home of her second brother, who was also very kind to her younger sister.

Unfortunately, Zhu Wenwen, the second sister-in-law, has always had a lot of opinions about the original owner.

Yang Shuying planned that when she had enough money in the future, she would go to see her second brother who was so kind to the original owner.

She went to the scrapyard first.

After all, I've read so many period novels, and didn't they say that the heroines could always find treasures in scrap yards?

Unfortunately, when Yang Shuying went to the scrap yard and gave a penny to the lady who was watching over the scrap yard, she found that reality was even more bleak than she had imagined.

After all, no one is stupid. If something valuable had been picked up, it would have been picked up long ago. Yang Shuying searched for a long time but found nothing. He had no choice but to pick up some newspapers and a few boxes with beautiful patterns and put them in the space when no one was paying attention.

There were quite a few old chairs in the scrap station that could be repaired and still be used, but her backpack only had 9 cubic meters of space, which was about the size of a small room. Forget it, she decided not to take the stuff.

Yang Shuying didn't pick up anything and prepared to retreat.

"Ding, a random mission has been dropped. A hundred meters ahead, a trafficker has robbed a child and is running towards the corner. Host, please..."

The system task has not been released yet, Yang Shuying heard someone

The vendor snatched the child, quickly picked up a roll of sticks and rushed out of the scrapyard.

really!

Not long after, Yang Shuying, who had turned the corner, saw a man with a shifty look in his eyes running towards him with a crying child in his arms.

He looked back as he ran, afraid that someone would catch up with him.

Yang Shuying took the opportunity to hit the man on the back of the head with a stick.

The man screamed, and Yang Shuying kicked him in the pants and crotch. When the man was in so much pain that he couldn't fight back, he immediately grabbed the child and rushed to the corner, shouting, "There are vendors here! Help! Help!"

Not far away, Chen Xi, who had just come out of a state-owned hotel, heard someone was "human traffickers" and rushed over immediately.

After Yang Shuying finished shouting while holding the child, she turned around and saw the human trafficker standing up with a stern face and gritting his teeth.

Yang Shuying, who was planning to go over to add a few more sticks, suddenly had a sudden thought.

A soldier in olive green suddenly appeared, holding the opponent's arm without moving. He raised his foot and kicked the vendor in the back of the knee, subduing him in two or three moves.

Yang Shuying stood at the back and could only see the soldier's tall and majestic back.

Oh shit!

This soldier is so powerful, he must have been trained before.

Yang Shuying was filled with gratitude and was about to express his gratitude when the soldier turned around.

They both said in unison.

"Is it you?"

"Is it you?"

Before the two could reminisce, the child in Yang Shuying's arms burst into tears, his cheeks turned red and he was hiccuping.

Yang Shuying took a look and saw that the child was a boy, probably only two or three years old, with a fair and tender face that was very cute.

Yang Shuying liked children very much. Seeing the child crying and hiccuping with red cheeks, she felt very distressed.

She didn't bother to say hello to the soldier and was busy coaxing the child in her arms.

Chen Xi's eyes were always on the little girl in front of him. Seeing her gently patting the child's back to coax her, her cold face became particularly gentle.

His eyes were fixed on the fair and gentle face of the little girl without blinking, as if he could never look enough.

This was the first time in my life that I felt such a strong strange emotion.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that after not seeing her for a week, the girl seemed to have become much prettier.

Soon, several police officers who were chasing the human trafficker arrived, and Chen Xi handed the human trafficker over to the police.

Yang Shuying had something else to do and wanted to hand the child over to the police.

However, as soon as she handed the coaxed child over to the police, the child immediately burst into tears and the police were helpless.

Shuying had no choice but to accompany him to the county public security bureau.

In the Public Security Bureau, Chen Xi met an acquaintance.

Director Liu was Chen Xi's former subordinate. He was transferred here this year. He was very excited to see his boss: "Captain! Why are you here?"

Only then did Yang Shuying realize that this soldier was actually a regiment commander.

People who can become group leaders at this age are most likely to be excellent.

Director Liu had just met his team leader and was not yet excited when he saw a very beautiful girl next to his team leader.

The little girl was holding the baby in her arms.

Wait, when did the leader get married and have children?

Director Liu asked, "Captain, your sister-in-law is so beautiful. How come you got married so quickly and had such a big child?"

Chen Xi: “…”

Yang Shuying: “…”
