"Is Luo, the educated youth, here?"
"Comrade Luo Zixi, are you still there? Are you really still there?..."
The voice of postman Zhao Qichen could be heard from afar, filled with worry and urgency.
The villagers working in the fields couldn't help but crane their necks to look.
Luo Zixi naturally heard the postman's loud shouting and almost broke out in a cold sweat from anger. She snapped at Zhao Qichen, who was riding his bicycle, and said irritably:
"Hey, if you can't talk properly, then shut up! What do you mean, 'Am I really still here?' Of course I'm here, I've always been here! You're the one who's not here!"
Hearing Luo Zixi's spirited retort, Zhao Qichen wasn't angry. Instead, he chuckled and stopped at the edge of the field where Luo Zixi was.
"Oh, Luo Zhiqing, I'm so glad you're here. I was just worried about your safety. I heard you bravely captured the enemy agent. Were you alright? Old Bai entrusted you to me and asked me to take good care of you. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to him."
Luo Zixi rolled her eyes when she heard him say that:
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine! I don't need any assistance, just let Lao Bai take care of himself."
"Are you alright? If not, then get out of here and don't get in my way of earning work points during the autumn harvest!"
"Wow," Zhao Qichen couldn't help but exclaim. This Luo Zhiqing really has personality; she's different from those girls who fawn over him all day long.
He wasn't annoyed when he was criticized again; instead, he smiled and said:
"Hey, of course there's something. I have another package for you, and it's from the south. Luo Zhiqing, do you have relatives and friends in the south?"
Luo Zixi was also curious upon hearing this.
Her memories of the original owner were all in the capital. Before that, she had always been exploited by the beastly family members of the Luo family, and she had never heard of any friends or relatives in the south.
She didn't know a single person from the South, so who else could send her packages?
"There is also a letter here."
Zhao Qichen then took out another letter and handed it to Luo Zixi.
Luo Zixi took the letter with suspicion, her curiosity growing even stronger...
However, with so many people watching, she can't just open it to take a look, even if she's curious.
She has never had the habit of making her private matters public.
This package is quite large; it looks very heavy.
Luo Zixi took the package and casually tossed it onto the edge of the field. She then stuffed the letter into her bosom (which she had actually already stored in her spatial storage), and then said to Zhao Qichen with a look of disdain:
"Alright, that's all for you. Go on."
Zhao Qichen's face stiffened. Was this a case of using someone and then throwing them away? Was he really that unwelcome?
"No, Luo Zhiqing, I've come all this way to deliver these things to you, won't you even invite me for a cup of tea?"
At this moment, Luo Zixi revealed a bright smile, and Zhao Qichen's heart pounded wildly, once again feeling a flutter in his heart.
"Postman, would you like some tea?"
Zhao Qichen nodded with a broad smile, full of anticipation:
"Hehe, yeah!"
Luo Zixi turned her head and called out to Aunt Gui, who was working in the field and looking back at her all the time:
"Aunt Gui, the postman wants some water. Isn't your A Xiang's honey water delicious? Hurry up and take the postman to your house for some!"
Aunt Gui was closely watching their movements, feeling a little uneasy.
Her youngest daughter, A Xiang, had already set her sights on the postman, Zhao Qichen.
These days, being a postman is a great job. It's one of the eight most important jobs, with good benefits, good relationships, job stability, and a high salary. Plus, Zhao Qichen is handsome and decent-looking, so Aunt Gui likes him more and more every time she sees him.
How prestigious it would be to have such a handsome young man as my son-in-law, with such a good job!
But it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Zhao Qichen has feelings for Luo Zixi, which puts Aunt Gui in a difficult position.
She dared to let her daughter compete with all the girls in the village, but she dared not compete with Luo Zixi, who was a ruthless character who dared to stab enemy agents in the back.
Who would dare to steal Luo Zhiqing's man? They'd be asking for trouble!
But now it seems that Luo, the educated youth, isn't interested in Zhao the postman at all. Instead, he asked Aunt Gui to pick him up, which piqued everyone's interest.
"Oh dear, Agui, isn't your Axiang not home? Let my little girl go and get some water for Postman Zhao!"
"That's right, my Xiuer could do it too! She was talking about Postman Zhao before!"
Several of the older women nearby also started to have designs on Zhao, the postman.
Aunt Gui panicked when she heard this. She was furious and, hands on her hips, immediately snapped:
"All of you, get out of my way. Luo Zhiqing has already sent Postman Zhao to my house, what are you all fighting over? Even though my Ah Xiang isn't home, I can send her back to pick her up right now!"
The enthusiasm of the women startled Zhao Qichen, making him tremble. He quickly turned around, hopped on his bicycle, and rode away, not forgetting to wave goodbye to Luo Zixi as he looked back.
"Excuse me, Luo Zhiqing, I just remembered I have some important letters to deliver. Let's talk next time! I'm leaving now... see you next time."
Immediately afterward, Zhao Qichen ran off in a flash.
Seeing that Luo Zixi was safe and sound, he felt relieved.
He admired Luo Zixi even more; for a young woman to capture an enemy spy alive was truly extraordinary. He needed to find out more about Luo Zixi in the future.
Seeing the young postman running so fast, Aunt Gui couldn't help but slap her thigh and sigh:
"We failed to catch that little Zhao again. We can't let him get away next time. He should at least be allowed to meet my Ah Xiang!"
