Chapter 16: Several People's Thoughts



Compared to the discussions of the people around them, Shen Nian and Nan Qiao are now more concerned about how to make the hat not shake randomly...

The brim of the straw hat was very large. After Chen Nian and Nan Qiao put it on, they had to tie the rope tightly to barely prevent it from falling off when the wind blew.

It's ugly, but it's a bit tight when the wind blows. I have no choice but to tie it loosely. When the wind blows, I hold the hat tightly.

So Nanqiao and Shen Nian were both struggling with how to tie the rope on the hat.

When they arrived at the work place, they didn't come up with anything. They stood at the edge of the field and smiled at each other.

"That's it, Nian Nian. It may not look good if it's tied tighter, but at least it won't get in the way..." Nan Qiao said as she tied the rope tighter. She finally understood that she couldn't care about her appearance at work. It was good enough for everyone to have a full stomach at this moment, so who would care about whether she was beautiful or not...

"Oh, that's the only way." Shen Nian sighed, helplessly tied the rope tightly, shook the hat firmly, and then buried his head to continue digging a hole in the ground...

When Shen Nian and Nan Qiao arrived at the land they were responsible for, Li Zhuoran was already waiting there. Seeing them coming, Li Zhuoran greeted them enthusiastically, looking straight at Nan Qiao and said, "You are here. Did you have a good rest at noon?"

"It's OK," Nanqiao replied politely.

Li Zhuoran didn't think much of it and just talked about what happened at noon.

"Nanqiao, what did you eat for lunch? You don't know if you are not at the educated youth center. It was very lively at noon today."

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Tell me quickly." Nanqiao didn't care about it, but Shen Nian was very curious. When he heard that there was something exciting going on, he was no longer sleepy and instantly became energetic.

"The male and female educated youths at the educated youth camp cook separately. It's not so difficult for the male educated youths. Those who can cook contribute their efforts, and those who can't contribute their money. Everyone is quite harmonious. But the female educated youths were very lively at noon today." Li Zhuoran glanced around and saw that no one was looking at this side, so he continued.

"It's Qin Fang who came with you. I heard from some educated youth that she started making trouble again at noon."

"Ah! It's her again. She's in so many troubles. What's the reason this time?" Shen Nian asked with both disdain and gossip.

"What else could it be? It's still about the food rations. People all contributed food, money, and labor. Qin Fang only contributed a little food rations and did nothing else. Sister Jiang, the team leader of the female educated youth, saw that she was a newcomer and didn't want to argue with her. She just said she didn't have to do anything and just contributed food. But Qin Fang gave one bowl of food rations, ate two bowls of rice, and complained that the rice was not tasty. This pissed off Sister Jiang, and she wanted to send her out to cook for herself."

Nanqiao couldn't help but curse inwardly at this idiot, he really cut off his own retreat...

"Will she agree?" Shen Nian asked

"How could that be possible? This is already a big deal. Sister Jiang has a good reputation and has been very caring towards everyone over the years. So naturally everyone is on Sister Jiang's side when a conflict breaks out. Qin Fang saw that the female educated youth were isolating her, so she had to go to the team leader and the village chief. Later, it was the educated youth team leader on our side who went over to mediate for a long time before the matter was resolved. Finally, everyone decided that Qin Fang should either take a turn cooking, collect firewood, or pay. In short, she couldn't just sit there and wait for free. If it happens again, they won't compromise even if they report it to the commune."

"She is really stingy..." Shen Nian complained disdainfully

Then he asked, "Is this Sister Jiang the one who had a quarrel with Qin Fang a few days ago?"

"It's her," Li Zhuoran said to the two after he raised his head after digging a hoe.

"She will suffer sooner or later. She is used to taking advantage of the Shanghai market. Now she is asked to be self-reliant, which will inevitably cause conflicts. Just wait and see, there will be more trouble in the future," said Nanqiao while scattering corn seeds.

After saying that, he glanced at Qin Fang and the other two.

Jiang Haihe worked hard with a stern face. Dong Jiayan glanced at Sumu not far away from time to time. He didn't do much work, but raised his hoe high. There was no movement in the pit on the ground.

They worked for so long in the afternoon, and the three of them had already done one-third of the land, but the four of them had only done a little bit, otherwise Jiang Haihe would look so depressed...

As for Wang Yuman and Qin Fang....

Qin Fang seemed to be telling Wang Yuman about what happened at noon, her face full of anger, while Wang Yuman looked disgusted and impatient, and it seemed that she didn't want to pay any attention to Qin Fang.

This is also a thoughtful girl. Nanqiao looked at the interaction between the two with some amusement and couldn't help but think

Nanqiao's eyes also fell on Su Mu's eyes on the other side. Looking at the girl's figure, his heart was slightly moved.

Since we met by chance that day, my mind, which was originally only concerned with studying, seems to have gained other things.

At first, when Nanqiao expressed her feelings to him, he was somewhat moved, but he had never been so close to a girl since he was a child, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, not to mention that he had his concerns, so he could only avoid her awkwardly.

But Nanqiao still didn't give up and kept pestering him. At that time, he already knew that he was going to the countryside...

The elder brother already had a job, and the notice of the mission to go to the countryside was tight, which did not leave them much time to find a job, so one of him and his sister had to go to the countryside. He was reluctant to let his sister go to such a place, so he took the initiative to ask to come.

But I met Nanqiao just a few days after I decided... I was suddenly moved, but I also knew that I was going to the countryside and couldn't delay the girl, so I deliberately suppressed my emotions.

But he failed to suppress it and it got worse... He thought he would never see her again after going to the countryside, but when he knew that she had signed up to go to the countryside with him, his heart couldn't help beating.
