Chapter 31: Heartbeat Hidden Under the Dewberry



"Su Zhiqing?"

Shang Haoquan shouted several times before he finally brought Su Nan back to life.

"Boss, I'm here." Su Nan withdrew his gaze from Zhou Rang and coughed lightly. Facing the serious commune boss in front of him, he still felt a little uneasy.

Shang Haoquan looked in the direction she had just looked, and immediately guessed who the little girl was thinking about, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

No wonder the young man came to the commune in such a hurry to call for help. So that's why.

"I'm sorry for what happened today, Su Zhiqing. If someone hadn't reported it to the commune in time, we would probably still be kept in the dark, and the real bad guys might not be punished by law." Shang Haoqun glanced at the gloomy-faced Village Chief Xiao, hinting at something.

"Yes, thank you, President and all the righteous people. Thanks to you, otherwise, I, a commoner, would be overwhelmed by the powerful today." Su Nan also knew how to read people's expressions and quickly flattered them.

"It is because of a selfless president like you who is dedicated to the people that our Red Sun Commune will continue to grow and the lives of our fellow villagers will become better and better. You are a role model for us young people. I will definitely follow your example in the future and become a person of value to the people and the country."

Shang Haoquan laughed out loud twice when he heard this, his face flushed, and he seemed to enjoy it very much.

"I'll have someone notify you as soon as the Public Security Bureau's verdict comes out. In the meantime, Su Zhiqing, just focus on recuperating. Only if you get better soon can you contribute to building a new atmosphere."

Su Nan readily agreed, her pretty face full of energy.

After a while, Shang Haoquan was about to leave with his subordinates. Xiao Heguo asked him to stay for dinner, but he was unwilling to do so and could only see him off to the osmanthus tree at the entrance of the village.

The Xiao family's yard finally returned to its former tranquility. Xiao Fangyun took a broom and swept the courtyard inside and out, saying that she wanted to sweep the bad luck out of the house.

Su Nan looked at Xiao Fangyun busying around with amusement, and with his chin supported by his hands, he watched Zhou Rang walk towards the educated youth point.

She knew in her heart that he would come to see her later, and even if he didn't come, she had a way to make him come.

Su Nan didn't look away until the black figure disappeared around the corner. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw Xiao Fangchi, who looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Su Nan waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "Oh, don't feel guilty. This isn't your fault. It's the fault of those delusional gossips."

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to think this way. Actually, I..." Xiao Fangchi looked at Su Nan's gentle profile and pinched his sweaty palms. Some words came to his lips but he couldn't say them.

"Stop, you are so outstanding and handsome, it's normal for girls to like you, but unfortunately you are not my type, so don't worry that I will have other intentions when living in your house." Su Nan winked playfully and picked up the mirror beside her to look at herself.

"Yunyun, remember to bring the kettle from the bed for me later."

"Okay, right away." Xiao Fangyun was busy sweeping the steps and responded without even turning her head.

Seeing this, Xiao Fangchi stammered a few times, and his heart felt like a mixture of mixed feelings, which was really unpleasant.

He turned around and took the blackberries he had picked on the mountain while working in the morning. After washing them under the faucet, he put them in a large bowl and placed them on the wooden table next to Su Nan.

The bright red and round fruits lie in the porcelain bowl, fresh and juicy, and look delicious.

Rubus rubus is also known as April bubble. Although it is not called this name, it is not only available in April. Every summer, it grows all over the mountains and is a favorite snack for many children.

"Thank you." Su Nan's eyes lit up, she smiled sweetly, and her voice was sweet.

"Eat it." Xiao Fangchi responded with a gentle smile. Seeing her pick up one and put it in her mouth with a satisfied expression, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to the room.

He has to go to work in the afternoon. He has been delayed for so long just now, so he needs to take some time to rest.

Su Nan stopped smiling when she heard the door close, and sighed softly. It seemed that being beautiful and having too much charm could also be a trouble. Whenever she encountered someone like Xiao Fangchi, she could only play dumb.

By the way, when did Xiao Fangchi start to have feelings for her?

Before he had time to think about it, he saw Xiao Heguo, who had just returned from sending someone off, hurriedly called Xiao Fangyun to go to her uncle Xiao Honghai's house to call back Luo Qiongzhi and Li Cuiping.

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for? I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some wine, and then have a couple of drinks with your two brothers later in the evening." Xiao Heguo looked happy. He snatched the broom from Xiao Fangyun's hand, swept the steps clean in two or three strokes, and then kept urging her.

"Why? Dad, our mom doesn't allow you to drink." Xiao Fangyun stood there in a daze, not moving for a long time.

Seeing that Xiao Fangyun had caught the wrong spot, Xiao Heguo said angrily, "Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? When will your mother ever get involved with me?"

The words sounded firm, but one had to ignore the guilty look on his face.

"I won't go. It's so hot and my uncle's house is so far away. It would be so tiring to go back and forth. I have to go to work in the afternoon." The word "reluctant" was written all over Xiao Fangyun's face.

Seeing that he couldn't wake her up, Xiao Heguo couldn't bear to hit her or scold her, so he could only raise the stakes: "Today your father was praised by the president, and your brother is going to be a senior cadre in the commune again.

Our family has been blessed with such a great opportunity, so we should celebrate it properly. I told you to call your mother back so she could buy some meat and cook a good meal. Yun'er, don't you want to eat meat?"

Hearing this, Xiao Fangyun swallowed her saliva. Meat? This really caught her vital point.

These days, being able to have enough food to eat is a blessing from God. Who would be willing to spend money to buy meat from the supply and marketing cooperative? Not only is it expensive, but you need a ticket. It’s not as practical as buying rice and noodles.

Those who come from well-off families and earn more work points can only buy some meat to take home for a snack during festivals. Those who are not well-off may not be able to taste any meat all year round.

Even though Xiao Heguo's conditions were considered to be among the richest in the village, he still had to grit his teeth and occasionally spend money to buy meat for the elderly and younger generations in his family to supplement their nutrition.

The last time Xiao Fangyun ate meat, it was thanks to Su Nan. It was the large spare ribs that Zhou Rang sent over. Just adding a little oil and salt to make the soup was already delicious.

"Ahem, what about me?" Su Nan almost drooled when he heard the word meat.

In the past, as a beauty blogger and actress, she had to control her diet to maintain her good figure, so she rarely ate meat.

Who would have thought that now even if you want to eat it, you can’t eat it.

The woman looked towards Su Nan when she heard the voice, and Xiao Heguo finally reacted, regretting his own inconsiderateness.

Su Nan had just experienced some bad insults today, and he must not be in a good mood. He was still here talking to Yun about celebrating. It was simply murderous and hurtful.

"Actually, this was arranged to comfort Su Zhiqing for the unfair treatment he suffered." Xiao Heguo said with a dry laugh, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do with the broom in his hand.

"Oh, then I'll eat more later." Su Nan couldn't help laughing.

"You must eat more." Seeing that Su Nan didn't seem to take this matter to heart, Xiao Heguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
