Song Fuyu has now changed to a new job. He no longer pulls weeds, but pulls radishes instead.
This is an important job and the team leader usually would not assign it to the educated youth.
The main concern is that they are weak, slow, and can easily damage crops.
But Song Fuyu was completely different. In sharp contrast to other educated youth, she worked quickly and well. Therefore, when Wang Zhiyong assigned tasks, he had already classified her as one of the villagers.
One of the biggest benefits of her hard work was that she quickly integrated into the villagers.
When people saw her, they no longer looked down on the city educated youth who were not good at work, but greeted her warmly. The aunts would often pull her along to chat about gossip, which made her know a lot of village gossip without realizing it.
…….
Yang Cui'e, who did not get a definite answer from Yan Ziyuan, thought about it for a long time after returning home. She felt that she could not just give up the matchmaker red envelope. So after hesitating for a long time, she went to Song Fuyu in the afternoon when she was working.
"Um... this... um... Xiao Song the educated youth..."
"Aunt Yang, if you have something to say, just say it."
Song Fuyu really couldn't stand the way people hesitated even though they clearly had something to say.
"Then I'll just say it straight~"
"Little Song Zhiqing, you will be eighteen after the Chinese New Year. How about I introduce you to someone?"
"Aunt, I'm only eighteen. I'm not in a hurry to find a partner."
"Why aren't you anxious? If you're not anxious, your parents will surely be anxious to death!"
Song Fuyu did not reply.
Her parents are both gone, so how could anyone help her find a partner?
"In our Shanhe Village, children are usually chosen to date when they are fifteen or sixteen years old, and they can stay at home for two or three years before getting married."
"I'm not kidding you. Girls like us who stay at home until we're in our twenties usually don't have the chance to choose a man. Otherwise, they can only marry those old bachelors who are unwanted by anyone."
Yang Cui'e was telling the truth.
Young men and women in Shanhe Village generally get married early.
The law also stipulates that men can get a marriage certificate at the age of 20 and women at the age of 18.
"Xiao Song, you have such good conditions and are of the right age. Don't wait until too late. It will be too late to regret it then."
Song Fuyu looked at Yang Cui'e speechlessly. Before she traveled through time, she was 29 years old and had no partner. Now she is not even 18, but people are eager to introduce her to someone...
"Aunt Yang, please stop bothering me. That Jin educated youth and I are really not suitable for each other."
She had just heard from another aunt two days ago that Aunt Yang wanted to bring her and Jin Kai together.
After hearing it, it was shocking.
She and Jin Kai?
No!
Absolutely impossible!
She doesn't like this kind of weak man who can't beat her.
As for her ideal type, it was very clear in the past, that is, he must be able to give her enough sense of security.
This sense of security comes mainly from two aspects. The first is the sense of security in external protection, at least he is stronger than oneself. The second is emotional security, mutual trust and mutual support.
"It's not Jin Zhiqing. I feel that Jin Zhiqing is not a good match for you now. I have found someone who is more suitable for you."
"That person is very tall and looks even better than Jin Zhiqing. He is a reliable and caring person."
Yan Ziyuan, who was on the mountain, couldn't help but sneeze.
Seeing that Song Fuyu showed no disgust, Yang Cui'e continued.
"More importantly, you two know each other. Wouldn't it be more appropriate if you knew each other? Don't you think so?"
"And I asked him, and he agreed."
At noon, Yang Cui'e recalled what happened on the ox cart in the morning. The young man neither denied nor refused. Wasn't that a disguised consent?
"I know him?"
They knew each other, could it be the other male educated youth?
Then Aunt Yang might be disappointed again.
If one of the boys in the Youth League Institute was attracted to her, she thought it would be best to persuade him to give up the idea as soon as possible.
It’s hard to say whether those boys are good or bad, after all, we didn’t have much contact with them.
But judging from his appearance, he's not the type she would like.
"Well, today I was in town with him on a bullock cart back to the village. When I was chatting with him, he guessed it was you before I even mentioned your name."
It seemed that they were not male educated youth. After all, they were all there when the tasks were divided in the morning.
Apart from the educated youth and the villagers, no one should know her, right?
"That person just came here today. He is the elder brother of the educated youth from Jin. I forgot to ask his name."
"......"
She never expected it to be that person.
He agreed? Impossible?
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
"You two look a perfect match, and you both come from the city."
"It's just that there's a little height difference, but it doesn't matter, he can pick you up with one hand."
"......"
If you want to praise him, just praise him, why do you have to put down her height?
She has been trying hard to grow taller by drinking more milk. Didn’t you see that she has gained some flesh on her face?
"Song Zhiqing, what do you think of him? If you agree, I will go and talk to him about this matter later."
Seeing that she seemed to be thinking, Yang Cui'e immediately asked while the iron was hot.
"Um...Aunt Yang, let's decide this relationship privately."
"I've only met him once or twice, and we're not very familiar with each other."
Yang Cui'e still didn't give up, and continued: "How can you say you don't know each other after meeting twice! When we got married before, we decided right away after seeing each other once."
"Aunt Yang, please go back to work. If he really likes me, he will come and tell me himself. If he doesn't, it means you may have misunderstood."
Although she had not spoken many words to Yan Ziyuan, her intuition told her that he was not the kind of person who would express his feelings through other people if he liked someone.
He is more like an aggressive and purposeful person.
"Please go quickly. I still have to pull radishes. This is a large field. If I don't finish pulling them quickly, I won't earn any work points today."
Seeing that Yang Cui'e was not planning to leave, Song Fuyu simply used a little strength and slowly pushed her out of his radish field.
After Yang Cui'e left, Song Fuyu calmed down his disturbed mind and continued to work.
At almost half past three, she quietly left the village.
Today I made an appointment with Lai Hongyun to do business at a location not far from the village entrance at 3:30, and I also had to collect her coal stove, kettle, pot, and coal.
After letting the other party put the things in the bushes, I paid them and let them leave.
It was daytime now. She squatted in the bushes and took out a telescope. She scanned the surrounding 360 degrees. Not finding anyone, she put the telescope into the space and went back to pick radishes.
It was nearly five o'clock before she finished pulling out the radishes allocated to her.
After watching Wang Xiaoshan register his work points, she picked up the backpack and galloped up the mountain without stopping.
Gu Yuan, who was working in the field next to her, sighed as he watched Song Fuyu's receding back.
He was still too weak and had no ability to protect himself, so Sister Fu Yu was unwilling to take him up the mountain.
If he were a little older, would he be able to go hunting in the mountains with me?
