"Village chief, is there any family in the village that hasn't been assigned a person? I have a soldier here."
"this..."
"Village chief, Xiaoya's family has two acres of peanuts planted. I saw her taking tools to the field early this morning, and she just came back in the evening. She didn't go to the village committee meeting yesterday." Grandma Wang, who was nearby, went to deliver something to the elders' home in the village. When she passed by the village chief's house, she heard them talking and kindly reminded him.
"Oh, how could I forget about Xiaoya? Commander, this Xiaoya from our village lost her parents two years ago. She has no relatives or friends and can't even grow crops.
These peanuts were planted by Granny Wang next door. She really needs some help now.”
"Okay, Captain Yu, go ahead."
"Yes, Chief." Yu Liangming saluted the chief and replied.
The leader has given the instructions and is leaving.
The village chief took Yu Liangming to Su Ya's house.
"Xiaoya? Are you at home?"
Su Ya had just finished cooking and came out to cool off. She squatted in front of the peanut patch in the yard and ate two. Then she saw an old man in his fifties or sixties coming over with a soldier.
"village head."
Su Ya screamed subconsciously.
"There was a village meeting yesterday, why didn't you go? The weather forecast says there will be strong winds and heavy rain in the next few days. This unit, the troops not far away, are helping us harvest the grain. Each family has been assigned one person. This is Captain Yu, assigned to your family today to help you harvest the peanuts. We'll try to finish the harvest within two days."
"Village chief, I don't need it. I can do it myself."
"Why are you trying so hard? The leader who came here has made the arrangements, and we just need to obey. Hurry up and arrange a place for Captain Yu to stay."
After the village chief finished speaking to Xiaoya, he turned around and said to Yu Liangming with a smile, "Captain Yu, why don't you go to my house for dinner first?"
"No, I've already had dinner. Sorry to bother you, Village Chief. Please go ahead and do your work."
"Okay, I'll be there then. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me."
"Um."
The village chief said goodbye to Yu Liangming with a smile, then turned to Xiaoya and said, "Xiaoya, entertain Captain Yu well."
"well?"
Su Ya was stunned. How could she entertain this?
After the village chief left, Su Ya and Yu Liangming were left alone. Su Ya was disheveled, and the village chief was so relieved about the situation, it was really amazing.
"Captain Yu...Captain Yu, please come in."
Yu Liangming also nodded rather awkwardly.
As soon as he entered the yard, he recognized that this female comrade was the comrade who was "waiting for the rabbit" that day.
Yu Liangming was slightly surprised, then regained his composure.
"Um...Captain Yu, have you eaten?"
"not yet?"
"..." He just told the village chief that he had eaten, but now he says no.
Su Ya laughed dryly twice to cover up the awkward atmosphere. "I'll go get the food. Let's eat first."
"Let me help you."
“No, no.”
Su Ya didn’t actually cook any food, she just cooked half a pot of five-spice peanuts.
When Su Ya brought the peanuts to the table, she also put a few big red fruits on it.
He smiled awkwardly at Yu Liangming and said, "Excuse me, I didn't know you were coming, so I made these things today. I...now..."
"That's enough. I'm not that hungry."
Yu Liangming said, taking out a bag of snacks from his bag. "I just came back from visiting my family and brought back a lot of goodies from home. Let's eat together."
“…”
Suddenly there was a person, and he was a strange man. Su Ya felt a little uncomfortable. She had been alone for many years and was used to having no one around her. Now there was suddenly a person, and he was very rude.
But seeing that he was just a small kid, I compromised.
After all, it was the village chief who arranged for me to help with the work.
If you have free labor, you might as well use it.
You know what, the snacks from the old days still have this simple taste and are delicious.
Su Ya ate a lot of other people's snacks, but Yu Liangming didn't eat much, but he ate a lot of boiled peanuts.
While the two were eating, Yu Liangming asked about the general situation in the village.
What crops are planted and where they are usually dried.
Su Ya didn't know the answer to any of these questions, and in the end Yu Liangming stopped asking.
After dinner, Su Ya helped Yu Liangming make the bed. "I just dried these quilts the day before yesterday, and the sheets are also freshly washed. Although the thin quilts are worn out, they are clean. Captain Yu, you can use them without worry."
Yu Liangming nodded. "Thank you. I can do it myself."
"This is what I should do. Thank you for your hard work these past two days."
“That’s our mission.”
"Oh,...oh." Seeing his rigid tone, Su Ya didn't know what to talk to him about for a moment.
He said, "You should have a good rest," and then he walked out.
Although there was no watch at home, Su Ya estimated that it was only a little after seven o'clock. She had never gone to bed so early before.
If I don’t have a TV at home, I can’t invite others to watch TV.
Su Ya washed her face, closed the door, and returned to her room.
Lying on the bed, he picked up the books that the original owner had and started reading them out of boredom.
In fact, she knows everything listed above.
Moreover, she didn't go to school much in her previous life, and later she taught herself.
She is not stupid, and even if she teaches herself, she will be able to do well.
In my previous life, I went to college, and finally got my master's degree and doctorate, all of which were self-taught.
But all I learned was useless. I've been dealing with fruit shops all my life.
So in this life, she wants to experience what it's like to go to college.
In order to pay for her schooling, she had to earn some money first so that she could cover her future living expenses.
Yu Liangming's home is actually in this city, and he used to go back there often.
This time he was on vacation for a week. During those few days, his mother made him meet seven or eight female comrades. He felt it was more tiring than training.
When I came back, I stuffed him with so much food again.
Yu Liangming looked at the two large bags of canned snacks and was sure that they would be snatched away by those kids when he got back.
Yu Liangming lay on the bed, feeling helpless.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and found that the quilt on the bed smelled very good.
I don’t know what kind of laundry detergent this woman used.
Yu Liangming had no idea that Su Ya was using the lavender laundry detergent that was stored in the space and had not been used up before.
...
The next morning, Su Ya got up around six o'clock.
I didn’t prepare anything last night, so I have to make sure they have a full meal today.
Su Ya made tomato and egg, stir-fried green pepper and pork, a cucumber, rice porridge and steamed buns.
She steamed the steamed buns yesterday morning, they were steamed white flour buns.
After Yu Liangming got up, he looked at the three dishes on the table and was stunned. He said, "There's no need to spend so much money. Just eat what you normally eat."
"Captain Yu, this is what I usually eat. Please sit down. The food is just right and still warm."
"...oh."
Yu Liangming sat down awkwardly, looking at the sumptuous dishes, thinking to himself, this comrade is wasting money.
