"I just want to ask you why, after paying the money, you still took the trouble to run so far in the middle of the night to buy me some nourishing food." Su Nan calmed down, raised her pretty face slightly, and her eyes were bright.
Before Zhou Rang could even think of a proper response, she pressed him, "Comrade Zhou Rang, are you interested in me?"
Su Nan spoke wittily, her lips slowly raised, her eyes charming and alluring as she looked into his eyes, as if she wanted to look into his heart.
Compared to the various displays of affection in later society, most young men and women in this era were relatively conservative and self-restrained.
As long as they are sure that they will be together after holding hands, men and women will keep their distance and dare not be ambiguous or too close.
Grown men would feel embarrassed to talk about emotional matters, let alone girls.
Even if they really have feelings for each other, they will keep it in their hearts and wait until the time is right before the man asks someone to go to the woman's family to act as a matchmaker. Only in this way can it be considered a normal marriage in the general environment.
So it was the first time that Zhou Rang encountered a girl asking him face to face whether he had special feelings for her, and he was speechless for a moment.
The most important thing was that he didn't know how to answer. He had to ask himself, was he really interested in Su Nan? But how long had they known each other? Didn't love develop over time? Just like his parents.
But even he himself could not explain why he could not stand idly by whenever something related to Su Nan happened.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Su Nan sighed softly, not knowing whether she was disappointed or relieved. Anyway, she didn't let him see the expression on her face, so she lay down and covered her face with a thin sheet.
He said in a muffled voice, "I misunderstood. Sorry. Just pretend I didn't say anything today. Comrade Zhou, go back and rest. I'll have someone estimate the price and return the money, tickets, and favors to you."
Su Nan's voice was soft and even had a bit of a coquettish tone, but Zhou Rang knew that she was definitely unhappy.
The tall figure of a man stood by the bed, facing the light, which outlined his majestic figure. However, such a manly man could not utter a word to ease the tense atmosphere.
A trace of entanglement and complexity flashed across his dark pupils. He took a last look at Su Nan who was covering herself with the quilt, and finally turned and left.
With a "bang", the door was closed, and only Su Nan was left lying on the bed in the room.
It was not until she heard Li Cuiping's voice outside inviting Zhou Rang to stay for dinner but was rejected that Su Nan lifted the bed sheet and took a deep breath. She was suffocating.
There wasn't a trace of unhappiness on that little face. The corners of her mouth were almost raised to the sky, and she was smiling sweetly. Her eyes were as charming as silky peach blossoms, with the corners of her eyes curved upwards, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes away.
Tsk tsk, Zhou Rang doesn't look like a naive man on the outside, but I didn't expect that he is so innocent inside?
A simple question stumped him. Not only did he stammer and fail to answer, but he even turned and ran away.
If it's boring, it's boring. If it's interesting, it's interesting. Why is he so hesitant? Is it so difficult to admit that he likes her?
Su Nan touched his cheek and murmured to himself, "I'm so good-looking, it's not shameful to like me."
It turns out that Zhou Rang is still clueless about love. That's even more interesting. Sister will let you experience what it means to be trapped in a woman's gentle embrace and unable to escape.
Su Nan, who was actually three years older than Zhou Rang, had already been secretly thinking of a strategy to conquer the enemy.
*
For more than a week, Su Nan stayed at Xiao's house to "recuperate". She couldn't go out of the main door or the second door, and she felt suffocated.
In the evening, the sky began to darken, accompanied by the whistling of the wind and the rumble of thunder. Soon, heavy rain began to fall, more and more, heavier and heavier.
The members who were originally working in the fields immediately finished their work after the team leader gave the order. They hurriedly picked up hoes, sickles and other tools and ran up the field to the team warehouse.
"Tick, tick." Rainwater fell along the eaves onto the ground, gradually forming small puddles in the low-lying areas. A group of people hid under the eaves and lined up to register. They could only go home after returning their belongings.
The educated youth gathered together, talking and laughing, but they excluded a tall girl, a clear sign of isolation and exclusion.
Surrounded by the female educated youth, Qin Xiaolan folded her arms and glanced at Liu Yu, who was at the end, with disdain.
Humph, this is what happens when you go against her.
In just one week, Qin Xiaolan became famous with the nickname "Shanghai's Rich Girl".
I heard that her father was the director of a large factory in Shanghai, her mother was a leader in the Finance Bureau, her brother was studying at Shanghai University, and all her relatives were either cadres or workers.
The reason she went to the countryside this time was to respond to national policies and assist rural construction.
These passionate remarks were admirable, and many people lamented that it was no wonder that Qin Xiaolan, despite coming from such a good family, still went to the countryside. It turned out that it was because she had such a great and lofty ideological realm.
In addition, Qin Xiaolan has a dignified and generous appearance, so she easily won the love of most of the old and new educated youth.
As for Su Nan, who moved out of the educated youth site and lived in the best-equipped house of the team leader in the village because he broke his leg on the second day after arriving, Qin Xiaolan and Su Tiantian had already portrayed him as a vicious, petty, and gossipy villain.
The most outrageous thing is that some people even said that Su Nan broke his leg on purpose so that he could be lazy and not work, and eat and drink for free at the captain's house.
What's outrageous is that this statement was actually echoed by many people. The rumor spread more and more in the educated youth center, and even Liu Yu, who was good friends with Su Nan, was put on the social blacklist by others.
After all, outsiders didn't know that Su Nan paid for her meals herself, although she hadn't had the chance to return the money to Zhou Rang yet.
As for living in a spacious and comfortable brick house, it was because the Xiao Fangchi family allowed Su Nan to live there out of a responsible attitude, and she also spent a lot of money to subsidize the Xiao family's meals.
But it seems that apart from the parties involved, no one cares about the truth. They only see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe.
Life is so boring and farm work is so hard. I have to find something to talk about after dinner.
I don't know who mentioned Su Nan first, but the educated youth started talking about it, and the voices gradually grew from whispers at the beginning to deafening.
Not only could the people nearby hear it, but even the villagers standing in front of them and at a distance could hear it.
Simply put, he is reckless and gossips without any scruples.
"Hey, big sister, is that Su Nansu educated youth really as lazy and gluttonous as you say?"
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a middle-aged woman with sallow skin and sun spots on her cheeks approaching. Her eyes, the size of soybeans, were shining, as if she smelled gossip.
Her short hair hadn't been washed for a long time and was greasy, hanging down in front of her forehead. Her clothes were also dirty, and the smell of feces and urine hit her in the face.
