"Gu, you're back from the commune?"
Gu An'an looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her, nodded, and then walked away.
Although she didn't know him, the way he looked at her displeased her, so she didn't want to say a word.
As soon as she left, the man caught up with her again.
"Gu Zhiqing, Gu Zhiqing, don't go! I still have something to say."
He chased after Gu An'an every step she took. If he kept chasing her like this, how could he maintain his reputation?
Suppressing the urge to kick the person into the air, Gu An'an stopped and asked, "What is it? Tell me quickly, I have things to do when I get back."
The man jogged a few steps to Gu An'an, reached out and smoothed his greasy hair, and said, "My name is Wang Weibing, I'm twenty-one years old, unmarried, and I'd like to get to know you, Gu Zhiqing."
Gu An'an: ...I've seen confident people, but people this confident are rare.
Without saying much, she reached out and grabbed the other person's arm. After a few movements, Wang Weibing was pinned to the ground with his hands tied behind his back by Gu An'an.
Would you like to get to know me again?
Wang Weibing felt dizzy and even began to doubt himself. Although his mother had told him that Gu An'an was good at working, she hadn't said that she was even better at hand skills.
"No, no, I..."
Wang Weibing wanted to explain something, but his previous statement about not having a wife made the meaning so clear that any explanation he could offer now seemed futile.
"I don't care what you want to say right now, you just need to understand that if you like getting beaten up, then go ahead."
Although Wang Weibing was a little scared, he still wanted to make an effort because of the bright future his mother had painted for him.
"No, even if you're powerful, you can't point your fists at your own people."
Gu An'an sneered, "Can't hit your own family? Who said that? I just dealt with my family before I went to the countryside. It's been a long time since I've laid a hand on anyone, and I actually miss that feeling."
"Really?"
Gu An'an didn't say anything, but tightened her grip, causing Wang Weibing to howl in pain.
No, no, I don't want him anymore. No matter how capable he is, I don't want him. What's the use of being capable and rich if you can't enjoy it?
"Yes, I'm sorry, I was blind to your greatness. Just ignore me."
He was greedy, but even more cowardly.
Gu An'an snorted and pushed Wang Weibing forward. He fell forward, but fortunately the soil was soft because it had just been turned over, so he was not injured.
Recalling Gu An'an's agile skills and her chillingly cold voice, Wang Weibing felt as if a dog was chasing him, so he dusted himself off and ran away.
The village chief's wife was tending her private plot of land not far away when she heard the commotion and saw who it was. She almost rushed over with a hoe to beat them up.
An'an is the one that Ah Heng has his eye on. Ah Heng hasn't even found the time to come back and pursue his wife yet, and there are already some blind fools trying to reach out first.
If this cabbage were to be eaten by some other pig right before her eyes, how could she explain it to her sister-in-law?
Before she could even take two steps, things took a dramatic turn. That brat Wang Weibing, instead of getting his revenge, ended up getting punished.
You can imagine how happy and excited she must have been.
Honestly, at this moment her affection for Gu An'an reached a new level.
She is beautiful, capable, and ruthless; she takes action decisively to eliminate trouble at its root, rather than being hesitant and ultimately ruining her reputation.
She wouldn't let such a girl go to someone else unless her own nephew was also well-off.
"An'an".
Thinking of this, the village chief's wife immediately called for people.
"Auntie, you're tidying up your private plot of land."
Seeing this, Gu An'an finally realized what she had forgotten: the educated youth compound had its own private plots, and the vegetables grown there belonged to the collective.
She and Zhou Yue had moved out, and with them leaving early and returning late these days, they hadn't even met Zhao Hu until yesterday when he asked for the black market address. They had no idea that they didn't even have their own plot of land.
"Hmm, do you two want to plant some?"
Although money and goods could be exchanged in the village, the village chief's wife felt that having them herself was better than having them from anyone else. After all, the two of them didn't eat much vegetables, so growing some would be convenient.
"Planting, there's a piece of land in the backyard that's been lying fallow, but I don't know if it's suitable for planting."
"Yes, you can. Just plant it without worry."
The village chief's wife smiled kindly, "You two probably don't have any seeds. Come on, go home with your aunt and get some. Plant them in the next couple of days, and you'll have fresh vegetables to eat in a month or two."
Gu An'an didn't hesitate; she would give back some things tomorrow for the seeds she received today.
That's how life is in the village; relationships only work if there's give and take.
Although she felt that she was capable enough in all aspects and had good fighting skills, why should she exhaust herself when she could take advantage of the situation and save effort?
The village chief's wife gave Gu An'an a copy of all the seeds she had at home, and worried that Gu An'an wouldn't know how to plant them, so she carefully explained the planting methods and precautions.
Not only that, knowing that Gu An'an and the others didn't have hoes, he specially brought one from home for her before sending them away.
"Growing vegetables? Sure! I'll go right away."
The backyard had been abandoned for a long time, but the soil in Northeast China is soft and fertile, so digging wasn't too tiring.
Gu An'an divided the garden into several sections and used all the seeds given by the village chief's wife, also scattering a few watermelon seeds in a corner to cultivate seedlings.
If she succeeds, she'll finally have a legitimate reason to eat watermelon.
She must succeed; if she fails, she'll dig out a few seedlings from her spatial storage.
After doing all this, Zhou Yue was exhausted and sat in the chair, too lazy to even move a finger.
"Here you go."
Seeing the lunchbox, Zhou Yue's eyes lit up. "An'an, you didn't bring me anything delicious, did you?"
Zhou Yue couldn't wait to open the lunchbox and saw the braised pork rice inside. She was so happy that she almost burst into tears.
The lunchboxes had already been heated on the stove by Gu An'an, and the taste was just as good as when they were fresh out of the pot. Each person held a lunchbox and wolfed it down.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yuheng, who was 400 kilometers away, successfully completed his mission and returned to his unit.
"Good lad, you've got some skills."
Commander Zhao slapped Xiao Yuheng on the shoulder, his face beaming with obvious pride and joy.
"Old Zhao, can you be a little gentler? If you ruin Xiao Xiao, where are you going to find another soldier as excellent as him to give me back?"
Seeing this, Political Commissar Fang quickly protected Xiao Yuheng, saying that Zhao Dalong was good in every way except for being too reckless.
Zhao Dalong wasn't annoyed. He genuinely liked Xiao Yuheng and knew that Xiao Yuheng, who had risen to the rank of deputy regimental commander at a young age and had repeatedly achieved military merits, would one day surpass him, but he wasn't jealous at all.
Remembering his wife's instructions, Zhao Dalong cleared his throat and asked with a smile, "Xiao Xiao, you don't have a boyfriend yet, right?"
