Chapter 50: Awkward and Shy Little Kid



"Mom, what do you want from me? I still have work to do."

The little boy named Ayuan had grass debris on his body and looked like he was saying, "Don't disturb me while I'm working."

"This sister doesn't know how to distinguish between crops and weeds. Go to her field and teach her how to tell the difference."

"Mom, I'm busy too."

Although he looked reluctant, he walked towards the land that Song Fuyu was allocated.

Song Fuyu looked at his little figure and smiled. What a weird little brat.

"Ayuan is like this when facing strangers, but he is a good and kind child. If you don't understand something, just ask him. Although he is only eight years old, he works very efficiently."

"Okay, sorry to bother you Aunt Fang. I won't disturb you from working for now."

She hurriedly trotted to catch up with the little boy named Ayuan.

"Wait for me, why are you walking so fast?"

"Hurry up, I still have to work."

Although he said this, his pace had obviously slowed down a lot.

He took a quick look at Song Fuyu's field and quickly pulled out a few weeds that should be removed.

"These are undesirable and must be pulled out completely, otherwise they will absorb nutrients from crops."

He showed the weeds in his hand to Song Fuyu.

"I don't know what they are called, but it's always a good idea to pull them out."

Song Fuyu felt that some grasses looked similar to crops.

Seeing that she still couldn't tell the difference, Gu Yuan sighed helplessly.

Isn’t it said that the educated youth in the city are very smart?

How come you can’t even tell the difference between weeds?

It seems that they are not as good as the rural people.

If it weren't for the fact that she gave her sister a candy yesterday, he wouldn't have wanted to teach her.

"This leaf looks like a sawtooth with a distinct line in the middle."

"This one has light yellow lines on it, and this one... looks like a pig's ear, so it's easiest to recognize."

He introduced all the weeds to Song Fuyu in detail. After listening to him, Song Fuyu felt that memorizing in this way seemed to become much easier.

"Ayuan, you are so smart."

She gave him a thumbs up and said, "Actually, you can just tell me which one is the crop."

This time he did not pull it out, but stood in front of a plant and described it carefully to Song Fuyu.

"Is that clear?"

Without waiting for her to answer, he turned his head awkwardly.

Song Fuyu saw that the tip of his ear seemed to be a little black and red.

This little guy seems shy.

What an interesting little boy.

She took out a few candies from her pocket, or actually from the space.

"Thank you, I understand. This is for you~"

"I don't want it."

"Take it. This is my tuition."

Gu Yuan looked at the candy in her hand, a little hesitant.

His mother said that we shouldn’t just take other people’s things, but he wanted to take some home for his sister to eat.

These candy wrappers look beautiful and should be delicious too.

Xiaodie not only likes to eat candies, but also likes to collect beautiful candy wrappers.

She ate the candy that the beautiful sister gave her yesterday, and kept the candy wrapper in her secret box very carefully.

Song Fuyu looked at his conflicted expression and put the candy directly into his coat pocket.

"You taught me how to identify weeds, and I paid your tuition. You didn't take advantage of me."

"Well, don't give me anything next time."

"Haha, okay, I'll listen to you."

"Ayuan, how come you are so young and you are working in the fields with the adults? Aren't children under ten supposed to collect grass for pigs?"

"My sister went to collect grass for the pigs. If I still went to collect grass for the pigs, our family would have nothing to eat in the winter."

When he said this, his expression was obviously mature beyond his age.

There seemed to be sadness behind the words, so Song Fuyu did not ask any more questions. After all, every family has its own difficulties.

"Thank you, Ayuan. Go ahead and do your work. I'll come back to you if I have any questions."

"Then I'll go first. Thank you for the candy."

With the identification method taught by Gu Yuan, the originally unfamiliar weeds instantly became familiar.

She put on gloves and began to work seriously.

The team leader also came over to check halfway through. Seeing that Song Fuyu was working hard to pull out weeds, and did not seem to feel uncomfortable, he nodded with satisfaction.

It took her about three hours to pull out all the weeds from the land that was allocated to her.

At least she felt that she had pulled out all the weeds that Ayuan told her about, and now there were no other weeds except for the crops.

In order to verify her results, she decided to call A Yuan over to check it for her.

Song Fuyu held the kettle, drank as he walked, and slowly walked towards where Gu Yuan was.

Little did she know that on her way to find Gu Yuan, many villagers were pretending to work hard, but were actually secretly staring at her.

Song Fuyu also felt everyone's gazes, but he pretended nothing had happened and continued walking forward.

She couldn't just do nothing because everyone was staring at her.

She will have to live in Shanhe Village for a few more years, and over time, everyone will get used to her presence.

Gradually, it will not be as novel as it is now.

After crossing several fields, I finally saw Gu Yuan's small figure.

He was bending over, digging the stones in the ground with great seriousness.

"Ayuan, the fairy sister is here to see you."

A little boy who was slightly older than him shouted excitedly to Gu Yuan, as if Song Fuyu was looking for him.

Gu Yuan raised his head which had been lowered just now.

Sure enough, Song Fuyu was seen on the ridge of the field holding a kettle.

He quickly put down the small hoe in his hand and ran over.

"What's wrong? Did something happen again?"

"No, I'm almost done. I want you to take a look at it for me first, and then I'll find a scorer."

Gu Yuan did not refuse and followed her back to the field where she was weeding.

He carefully examined the ground and his impression of the educated youth from the city changed a lot.

I didn’t expect her to work so quickly and pull out all the weeds.

"Now that there are no more weeds, you can go to Brother Xiaoshan to get your work points."

Song Fuyu secretly gave himself a thumbs-up in his heart, it was really great.

"Thank you, Ayuan. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to pull it out so quickly."

"You're welcome~"

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

"Ayuan, why does that new educated youth want to see you?"

"Ayuan, is she a good person? Aren't the educated youth in the city all arrogant and look down on us country folk? Why would she take the initiative to come to you?"

As soon as Gu Yuan returned to his field, he was surrounded by several little boys nearby.

They asked Gu Yuan all kinds of questions at once.

"Ayuan, tell me quickly, how is she?"

Gu Yuan thought about it seriously for a while before saying to them, "Song Zhiqing is a nice person and easy to talk to."

"My mother asked me to tell her which weeds should be pulled out, but she didn't know, so she came to ask me."

"Wow, Ayuan, you are so lucky."

"It's not as lucky as you say. It's delaying my work."

Gu Yuan frowned and turned back to work.

Where they couldn't see, he touched the candies Song Fuyu gave him in his pocket and raised the corners of his mouth.
