"Ahhh, okay, no, when did this happen? How come I didn't have a boyfriend and went straight to fiancé?"
You've only been back for a few days? My goodness, your progress is incredibly fast! I'm truly impressed!
Zhu Qinghao was slightly embarrassed and lowered her head, saying:
"It hasn't been long, just these last couple of days. Originally, we were just dating, but our families all thought it was okay, so we decided to have a small engagement first..."
Si Tian twisted the towel in her hands, pondered for a moment, and then nodded in deep agreement.
"That works too. Since you two are both interested, getting engaged might save you a lot of trouble."
Si Tian said these things because she thought these two people were quite outstanding, and that if they stayed in the village for a long time, they would probably attract a lot of attention.
Getting engaged doesn't mean you have to get married right away, but once you have a fiancé, your aunt won't be constantly trying to introduce you to potential partners.
Of course, it can also extinguish the inappropriate thoughts of some people.
At this moment, Si Tian had no idea that everything she was thinking about today would become a reality in the future.
After returning to the village, Zhu Qinghao immediately threw herself into the team's busy farming activities, which was, of course, driven by the farm work.
It's not yet harvest time, but there's still a lot of work to be done in the fields: watering, weeding, pest control, thinning seedlings, loosening the soil...
When Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian came last year, they basically hibernated. It was only in the last two months since the beginning of spring that they gradually started to spend more time with the rest of the team.
The older women in the team all remember that they suggested sprouting beans and helping the team make money. So, if they don't understand anything about farm work, someone will take the initiative to teach them.
Gradually, they became one of the members of the Hongshan Brigade.
This was originally a good thing, but Zhu Qinghao felt quite distressed.
She didn't tell anyone about her engagement to Sheng Yi directly. She originally planned to wait until one of the aunties in the village offered to introduce her to a potential partner before bringing it up naturally.
As it turns out, people are even faster at talking than the aunties.
During the busy farming season, Zhu Qinghao and her colleagues discovered that many people in the team were people they had never met before, such as the team secretary's nephew.
Wang Tao is one of the few high school students in the team. In the winter, he works as a temporary worker in the city with his older brother and doesn't often return to the village.
So the first time Zhu Qinghao and the others met him was at the summer harvest mobilization meeting, and he took the initiative to come over and greet them.
"Hello, fellow former educated youth! I am Wang Tao. I have often heard my family talk about the changes you two have brought to everyone. It is a pleasure to meet you both!"
Wang Tao has an instantly likable appearance, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and wheat-colored skin. When he smiles, he reveals neat and white teeth, making him instantly endearing.
Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian were no exception; they introduced themselves one after the other with smiles. Then, Wang Tao somewhat embarrassedly revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Well, I have a favor to ask. I grew up on this land and I really hope to have the opportunity to repay my fellow villagers and make everyone's lives better."
But I might not be the best at thinking. Before you guys arrived, I never imagined that the team could make money by sprouting bean sprouts in the winter...
"It just so happens that I shouldn't need to go to the city with my brother to do temporary work this winter, so I was thinking, could I go with you guys? I could learn something too."
Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian initially thought his words were something serious, but they soon discovered that it was about a side business.
How could this be considered an unreasonable request?
They both desperately wanted someone to learn these skills so they could take over their jobs.
As for what Wang Tao said, hoping that everyone in the team would become rich and have a better life, this is also their common wish.
