"Bai Ruozhen, are you really going to marry Gu Changqing? Have you thought it through?"
Bai Ruozhen turned around and saw Zhao Lai Di standing at the door, looking at her with complicated eyes. Bai Ruozhen put away her smile and walked past her. "None of your business." She didn't even bother to pretend to be nice to Zhao Lai Di.
Zhao Lai Di frowned slightly and snorted.
"I advise you not to listen to other people's talk carelessly in the future. It's not a good habit." Bai Ruozhen said as he walked past Zhao Laidie.
Zhao Lai Di frowned slightly and curled her lips, "You thought I was willing to listen, but it was obviously you who didn't go far away."
"How far? To the grove at the edge of the village?" Bai Ruozhen looked at Zhao Laidie and smiled.
Zhao Lai Di's face suddenly changed, becoming a riot of colour.
Seeing her like this, Bai Ruozhen felt better and hummed a little tune as he went into the yard. Zhao Lai Di was left standing at the door, gazing at her back with gritted teeth.
When they got back, Wang Jun teased her, "Gu Changqing is here to bring you buns again?"
Bai Ruozhen chuckled and nodded.
Her appearance drew Wang Jun's admiration. "Looks like I need to find a man to date, too."
Wang Jun and Li Aihong are from the same batch of educated youth. They are both 22 years old this year. At this age, they are mothers of several children in the countryside.
Then Zhu Guixia and Feng Qiujuan laughed at Wang Jun for being shameless, while Bai Ruozhen sat on the edge of the kang thinking about Gu Changqing. She felt that although Gu Changqing was a little mean, he was really good to her. After all, steamed buns were so rare these days, and he actually sent her meat buns for two consecutive days.
After breakfast, everyone else went back to work. Zhu Guixia asked, "Gu Changqing is filling in for you again today?"
Bai Ruozhen nodded with a red face.
Zhu Guixia was surprised, "You agreed to date him?"
Bai Ruozhen shook his head, "I said I need to think about it."
"Oh, my silly girl." Wang Jun walked to the door and then walked back, looking at Bai Ruozhen with a helpless smile, "You already agree that he will earn work points for you, isn't that the same as admitting that he is your partner? In any relationship, the man pursues the woman for a while before she agrees. Oh, silly girl. Even if he doesn't spread the news, others will know that you two are a couple after he goes to the fields."
"Ah?" Bai Ruozhen was confused, "But..."
"It's nothing to worry about. If you want to date him, then just do it. It's great to have someone to help you with the work. We were worried that you would get tired from working." Wang Jun patted her shoulder and said, "We're leaving. Go ahead and have fun. Remember to cook for us at noon."
Bai Ruozhen nodded blankly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
How could she be fooled by Gu Changqing so easily? Was she really too greedy and was bribed by a little food?
Bah, it’s all because of this mouth. Bai Ruozhen raised his hand and slapped his mouth in frustration. It was all because of his greed.
Bai Ruozhen thought about it, got up again, locked the door, took the hoe and went out.
In spring, the villagers of Xiahe Village who had boats went out to sea to fish, while the rest went to the fields to work and earn work points. By this time, the wheat in the fields had grown tall, and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, so most of the people in the fields were planting potatoes. When Bai Ruozhen arrived at the edge of the field, he saw Gu Changqing swinging his pickaxe and digging a hole in the ground. Bai Ruozhen walked over and said, "Don't do it for me, I'll do it myself."
Gu Changqing paused, "What's the matter?" Could he change his mind in just one meal?
Bai Ruozhen said embarrassedly, "I haven't agreed to be with you yet. How can I always let you work for me? It's not good if people know." She understood from Wang Jun's words that if a boy wanted to be with a girl, he had to pursue the girl for a while first. If she agreed too easily, what if Gu Changqing didn't cherish her in the future.
"About this?" Gu Changqing wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even if he went back now, he already knew everything he needed to know. He smiled and said to Xu Dahe, who was watching the fun next to him, "Go away. Don't be an eyesore here."
Xu Dahe rolled his eyes and walked away.
Gu Changqing grinned, revealing his big white teeth. "If you haven't agreed yet, think about it quickly. I'm working for you because I'm pursuing you. It's for your own good, so you can agree sooner. You have to give me a chance to show your ability. If you don't even need me to earn work points, how can I pursue you and let you know how good I am? Don't you agree?"
Bai Ruozhen had been in Yancheng for several months, and his face wasn't as yellow as before. At this moment, because of Gu Changqing's words, his face turned slightly red. He lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm being honest. I'm pursuing you," Gu Changqing chuckled. He was just asserting his sovereignty to everyone in advance, telling them that Bai Ruozhen was taken. Thinking of the expressions on the faces of the young men in the village when he told the accountant that he was working for Bai Ruozhen this morning, he felt a burst of joy. "Let you miss my young wife," he said. "You can go back. This job is not tiring for me."
Bai Ruozhen looked up and glanced at him, a little hesitant, "Then I'll go back."
Gu Changqing waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go. Do you want me to take you there?"
Bai Ruozhen staggered, shook her head quickly, then turned around and walked towards the edge of the field. Gu Changqing liked her more and more as he looked at her little appearance. He really had good taste, and he liked such a good girl.
I happened to meet Li Aihong, and Li Aihong said, "Zhenzhen, wait a moment," and then went inside to call Gu Changqing.
When Gu Changqing came over, Li Aihong said, "The team leader and the director are looking for you two."
Bai Ruozhen and Gu Changqing exchanged a glance, both thinking of what happened last night. However, they had already agreed to pretend they knew nothing.
However, one of them pretended to be stupid and the other pretended to be confused, and the expressions on their faces were extremely natural. Looking at their appearance, Li Aihong became more and more certain that Wei Nan was framing them. He was so mean.
