A few white clouds are strolling in the sky, adding a different color to the blue sky.
"Who told you that Zhou Rang has some little connections?" Zhou Rang raised a faint smile on his lips, which looked a bit childish and cocky if you looked closely.
"oh."
Su Nan was very disdainful of his keeping secret, but was very satisfied with his words "You are Zhou Rang", so she pretended not to care about the truth with a smile in her eyes, crossed her arms and walked straight past him into the yard.
The yard was not big and looked quite desolate. It was obvious that it had not been cleaned yet. There were dead yellow camphor tree leaves and thick dust on the ground. Apart from that, there was only a bamboo clothes drying rack on the empty ground.
There are three rooms. The one facing the courtyard gate is the main house, the one on the left is the bedroom, and the one on the right is probably the kitchen and toilet.
Su Nan walked to the door of the room on the left and looked around for a while.
"Who is it?" Perhaps because the two of them made too much noise, a strange and refreshing male voice suddenly came from the closed door.
Just as he was about to push open the door, Su Nan suddenly withdrew his hand. Surprised, he turned back to look at Zhou Rang and asked in confusion, "Why is there someone else here?"
Zhou Rang frowned, looking grim, but judging from his reaction, he obviously knew who was in the room. But before he could explain to Su Nan, he saw the door being opened from the inside.
"Brother Zhou?" Zheng Guangming poked his head out of the house and saw the tall Zhou Rang at a glance. As soon as he showed half of his body, he saw Su Nan.
Seeing the girl's intention, Zheng Guangming shrank back again, because apart from hurriedly putting on a pair of pants to open the door, he had no time to put on anything else.
"Um, wait a few minutes." Zheng Guangming stammered as he said this to Zhou Rang's increasingly unpleasant expression, then he slammed the door shut.
Su Nan scratched his forehead, looked up and down, pretending not to see Zheng Guangming's thin upper body.
Actually, it’s no big deal. There are plenty of men working shirtless in the countryside in the summer.
Besides, there are so many male models in underwear commercials in later generations, she doesn’t think it’s a big deal. Now she just saw a man’s upper body, what’s the big deal?
Thinking of this, Su Nan looked at Zhou Rang openly, but unexpectedly met his gloomy eyes, which were inexplicably mixed with a hint of grievance.
Seeing this, Su Nan cleared his throat and explained seriously: "I didn't see anything."
"You haven't even seen me."
"Ahem." Su Nan almost choked on his own saliva and quickly waved his hand to comfort her, "I'll definitely watch enough next time. Is that okay?"
Oh my god, what kind of a bullshit word is this?
"That's not what I meant. Oh, it's just..." Su Nan touched the tip of his nose in annoyance, hating himself for having a bad habit of speaking faster than his brain.
"I know." Zhou Rang showed a look of sudden enlightenment, with an imperceptible cunning look in his eyes.
Su Nan gave up on himself and said, "Yeah, it's good that you know."
Regardless of whether he understood what she meant, she simply blushed and put the matter behind her.
At that moment, Zheng Guangming opened the door again, rubbing his hands uncomfortably, and said with a dry laugh, "Brother Zhou, why are you here? Didn't you go back to the village first? And who is this beautiful lady?"
Zheng Guangming looked at Su Nan, surprise flashing in his eyes. He had only taken a quick glance just now, but now he could really see her appearance clearly.
Tsk, this small Sang'an County actually hides such a beauty?
Zheng Guangming dared to say with a clear conscience that this was definitely one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen. He estimated that even in the huge city of Shanghai, there were not many girls who could compare with her.
"You better be careful about the impact next time." Zhou Rang did not answer Zheng Guangming's question. He had an obvious look of displeasure on his face and his eyes became dangerous.
Zheng Guangming naturally knew what Zhou Rang was referring to, and he quickly touched the back of his head and nodded repeatedly.
Zhou Rang nodded with satisfaction, his expression slightly relaxed. He then placed his hand on Su Nan's shoulder, raised his chin slightly, and proudly introduced her as "Your sister-in-law."
Zheng Guangming's eyes widened in shock. This was even more unbelievable than the four-digit profit he made overnight some time ago.
Did Brother Zhou get along with someone? And she was such a pretty and delicate girl?
Zheng Guangming now really wanted to rush back to Shanghai and tell everyone this jaw-dropping news.
No wonder Zhou Rang brought her to this courtyard. Since she is his sister-in-law, it makes sense.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Coming back to his senses, Zheng Guangming hurriedly greeted her sweetly with a friendly smile on his face.
Su Nan felt very complicated when being called sister-in-law by a man who was a few years older than her, but at the same time, she also felt a little shy and happy.
"Hello, my name is Su Nan, Suzhou Su, Nanmu Nan. Actually, it's too early to call you sister-in-law now. Just call me Su Nan." Su Nan slapped Zhou Rang's hand away and gave him a coquettish look.
"Ah?" Zheng Guangming asked in confusion, looked at Su Nan, and then at Zhou Rang.
Is this not the pursuit of the opponent yet?
Zhou Rang touched the hand that Su Nan had slapped just now, and said reluctantly with a gloomy face: "You should do whatever your sister-in-law says."
“…”
Zheng Guangming didn't dare to offend anyone, so he just kept his mouth shut.
Thinking of something, he said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, no, Miss Su, your accent is Shanghainese?"
I originally thought Zhou Rang had found a girl from Sang'an County, but I didn't expect Su Nan to speak with a hint of Shanghainese accent.
In fact, it doesn't really matter where it is, but if it is Shanghai, wouldn't it be better and more suitable? At least we can share some living habits.
"Yes, Zhou Rang and I were both educated youth sent to the countryside from Shanghai." Su Nan nodded.
Zheng Guangming's smile grew even wider, and he said sincerely, "That's great. Where are you from in Shanghai?"
"Over there in the south of the city."
"Hey, it's not very far from my home."
Seeing that they were about to start chatting, Zhou Rang glared at Zheng Guangming and interrupted, "Let's go inside and talk. It's cold outside."
Hearing this, Su Nan rubbed his arms. He really felt a little cold from the wind, so he nodded.
"Let me tell you how we got this house." Zhou Rang breathed a sigh of relief when he finally drew Su Nan's attention to himself. He put on a smug smile and looked back at Zheng Guangming with disdain.
Hou Yi touched the tip of his nose and grumbled, "You smell so jealous."
After complaining, he followed the two of them towards the main house, and while walking, he listened to the usually majestic Brother Zhou introducing the origin of the house diligently like a lackey.
The reason why the Agriculture Bureau was willing to rent this small courtyard to Zhou Rang at a low price can be traced back to the rice seedling accident a few months ago. At that time, there was almost a complete lack of fertilizer and seeds, and the higher-ups were busy with one thing but not the other.
But Sang'an County is among them.
Just when the leaders of the Agricultural Bureau were at a loss, Zhou Rang stepped forward and said he had a way to get fertilizer and seeds.
When the Agricultural Bureau saw that it was such a young man, they refused to believe anything he said. It was not until Shang Haoquan, the director of the Red Sun Bureau, came over to testify on Zhou Rang's behalf that they welcomed him in.
