A group of People's Liberation Army soldiers came to the back mountain, but the villagers of Lianhua Village still lived a life of working from sunrise to sunset.

At most, they would gossip a little after dinner.

Mai Sui helped the People's Liberation Army catch the spy. Such a big event naturally became a topic of conversation among everyone.

Not only were people in Lianhua Village talking about it, but people from several neighboring villages were also discussing it.

There was no Internet back then, but gossip still spread very quickly.

"Have you heard? A spy was caught in the back mountain. It scared me so much that I don't even dare to go out to chop wood."

"That's right! I heard that it was the niece of the captain of the Lotus Village next door who helped catch him."

"Tell me, this little girl is really brave. If it were me, I would be scared to death."

"He is different from you. He is just a fool. He has a bad brain and doesn't know how to be afraid."

"Now that you mention it, I remember that she seemed to have picked up a wild boar in the mountains a while ago, when she was doing the double robbery."

"I know about this. My cousin is from Lianhua Village. Their family got more than a pound of meat that time. It was a really big pig!"

"It's true that fools have good fortune. Why isn't it in our village? This way we can also have some meat to eat."

"It's easy. Isn't your son 20 years old this year? He is at the right age to get married. You can just marry her off as your daughter-in-law."

"Bah! I won't marry a stupid wife just to eat some meat!"

"Hahaha...."

Everyone was laughing, but they didn't know that Mai Sui had high standards and looked down on their stupid son.

So far, only Shen Xingchen perfectly meets Mai Sui's aesthetic.

At this moment, Shen Xingchen was struggling over whether or not to go find Mai Sui.

But Yang Lin couldn't wait any longer and kept urging, "Shen Zhiqing, when are we going to look for Uncle Mai?"

He also wants to eat delicious food as soon as possible.

Although he is eating with Song Hewei and Chen Chien now, the food is better than that at Li Qiming's place.

But it's just 'better'.

One reason is that Song Hewei doesn’t have that much energy.

She came home exhausted from farm work every day, but still had to cook.

Since Shen Xingchen wasn't eating with her, she was too lazy to put any effort into cooking and just dealt with it casually.

Secondly, it’s because Song Hewei’s cooking skills are not good.

Even though she was reborn, her cooking skills did not improve. At most, she could only eat.

Even though she had prepared a special meal for Chen Chien and put a lot of effort into it, it was only slightly better than usual.

But she still feels good about herself and has no self-awareness at all.

Besides, Yang Lin had no share in the special meal.

Yang Lin was still craving for meat, and he wanted to eat his fill in one go!

Whenever he thought of the chicken soup he had at Shen Xingchen's, he became more and more greedy.

It’s not that Mai Laosan is a good cook, but the mushrooms that Mai Sui picked that day were particularly fresh.

Stewed with chicken, the aroma is simply amazing.

Slurp~

Yang Lin couldn't help drooling again.

Shen Xingchen glanced at Yang Lin, made up his mind, and said loudly: "Go now!"

"Okay! Let's go. The captain is not here, so it's okay for us to leave for a while."

We are not doing a double harvest now, so as long as you finish the assigned work and leave for a while, the team leader won’t say anything.

However, the person Shen Xingchen was looking for was not Mai Lao San, but Mai Sui.

Fortunately, Mai Laosan was usually lazy and was not working in the fields at the moment, so Shen Xingchen took the opportunity to suggest going to his house to take a look.

Of course Yang Lin would not refuse, so he happily followed Shen Xingchen.

This was Shen Xingchen's first visit to Mai Sui's house.

But he didn't need to ask anyone for directions, as if he had been here many times and he found the right place right away.

It can be seen that he has been observing secretly behind my back these days, and maybe he even squatted in the corner at night.

Yang Lin didn't find this strange at all. He just thought that Shen Xingchen had a good relationship with Mai Lao San.

In the countryside, if there is someone at home, people rarely close the door.

At this moment, Mai Sui was half lying on a hammock in the yard, reciting the Xinhua Dictionary.

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai were not at home. They claimed that they were out working, but where they went exactly was unknown to anyone but God and the earth.

Mai Sui doesn't care much about them now, as long as they do their housework well.

As for the work in the fields, just do as much as you can.

If the food distributed at the end of the year is not enough to eat, the worst that can happen is that we can spend money to buy more food.

The boss Mai Sui is very tolerant towards his younger brother. As long as he provides her with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, everything will be fine.

In short, it doesn’t matter whether you work in the fields or not, but if anyone forgets to fetch water or chop wood, don’t blame the wheat ears for taking action.

Shen Xingchen stood outside the gate, quietly looking at the girl under the shade of the tree, his heart beating like a deer. He pondered for a moment before he mustered up the courage to knock on the gate.

Mai Sui looked up, and a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Because a beam of sunlight shone right on Shen Xingchen's head, his hair looked fluffy and soft, with a furry feeling that made people want to rub it.

"Come here." Wheat Ear waved at him.

Shen Xingchen and Yang Lin walked in.

In order to conceal his presence, Shen Xingchen even looked around in a fake manner: "Is Uncle Mai not at home?"

Shen Xingchen had been secretly observing Mai Laosan for several days and had long known that he was usually not at home at this time.

But Yang Lin didn't know that Shen Xingchen was doing this just for Yang Lin to see.

However, Mai Sui acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued to wave at Shen Xingchen: "Come here."

Shen Xingchen didn't understand, but Mai Sui's words seemed to have some magic, and he came in front of Mai Sui unknowingly.

"Squat down." Mai Sui continued, with a hint of temptation in his voice.

Shen Xingchen's eyes were full of doubts, but he still did it.

Then, a hand fell on his head and rubbed it back and forth twice.

Well, it’s just as I imagined, so soft.

The wheat ears let out an imperceptible sigh of contentment.

Shen Xingchen's cheeks suddenly turned red and he fell to the ground.

Yang Lin was also shocked by this scene. What was Mai Sui doing? Was he teasing Shen Xingchen?

Awooo~

A little excited, what's going on?

Mai Sui glanced at Yang Lin who was in the way, and then said to Shen Xingchen seriously:

"There's a grass on your head. I'll take it off for you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingchen quickly got up from the ground and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Wheat Ear lay back in a good mood, and the hammock swayed, making a cheerful squeaking sound.

Shen Xingchen looked at Mai Sui who was obviously very happy, a soft look flashed in his eyes, but the blush on his face would not go away.

"What do you want to talk to Mai Lao San about?" asked Mai Sui.

After being reminded by Mai Sui, Shen Xingchen finally remembered the excuse for coming here, so he pointed at Yang Lin and said:

"This is Yang Lin, the educated youth in our educated youth camp. He wants to ask if he can buy some food with money. The best is...chicken stewed with mushrooms."

After uttering the last five words, Shen Xingchen felt the temperature on his face rise a few degrees.

Because he and Mai Sui both knew what the last pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms meant.

Shen Xingchen said this deliberately, actually he also wanted to ask Mai Sui indirectly, does he still have a chance?

However, the wheat ear replied to him: "No."
