Gu Xi took the fresh vegetables and was in a good mood. She quickly gave Wan Xi an emotional value: "Wan Xi, you grow these vegetables really well. They are beautiful and fresh. You are really clever, beautiful and virtuous. Whoever marries you in the future will be very lucky."
Wan Xi was both happy and shy when she was praised: "I only know how to clean and grow vegetables. My brother also doesn't let me work in the fields, saying that I am dark and will be uglier if I get sunburned. I am also slow at work and will affect the progress of others, so I am like a useless person at home."
As he spoke, Wan Xi began to feel a little self-pitying.
Gu Xi saw that she was obviously depressed: "Oh, isn't it a good thing that you don't have to work? I feel numb when I think about working in the fields in two days. I don't have a brother who lets me sleep at home.
This kind of heavy work should be done by men. Men are naturally taller and stronger than women. How can we, with our small arms and legs, get out of the field? It's too miserable. "
It was the first time Wan Xi heard such words: "But the aunties in the village usually say that I am a burden to my brother. The women in the village usually work in the fields and can get 7 work points every day. They can also cook and do housework when they go home. Some of them even work in the fields when they are pregnant."
After hearing this, Gu Xi was incredulous: "Pregnant women have to work in the fields? After finishing the work in the fields, they have to go home and do housework?"
Wan Xi nodded seriously: "It's not just the village, the educated youth in the educated youth camp are the same. After finishing their farm work, they take turns to go back and cook."
Gu Xi immediately retorted: "This is unfair. Why do women have to do all the housework? Everyone is working in the fields."
Wan Xi was puzzled: "What's unfair? Everyone has always been like this."
Gu Xi was already furious at this time: "Mr. Lu Xun once said, 'It has always been like this, so is it right?'" Although some habits are passed down through years of words and deeds, they are not necessarily right. People should have their own thoughts. "
Wang Xu saw that she had confused Wan Xi, so he quickly said, "Okay, let's continue talking. It's getting dark. Don't disturb Wan Xi's cooking. His brother will come back and eat soon."
Gu Xi was interrupted and forgot about her anger: "I won't disturb you from working. I'm leaving first. I'll come to play with you when I have time. Oh, did you ask me any questions just now?"
Wan Xi: "I asked you before how you came here with Brother Xu, and Gu Zhiqing. What you said just now makes a lot of sense. What you said last time when you scolded Zhang Yuejin also made sense. You should teach me later."
Gu Xi was a little embarrassed to face others praising her in person: "The youth education center is expanding, and the new youth education centers are living in the villagers' homes. I live in Wang Xu's home. I'm not as good as you say. I'll come again when I have time."
After saying that, he walked out holding the basket of vegetables and put it in Wang Xu's hand: "Mission accomplished, let's go home and cook."
On the way, Gu Xi thought about the things she bought and looked up at Wang Xu: "What did you eat to grow so tall? We had braised pork for lunch. Do you want to make dumplings with the pork belly? I just got some leeks from Wan Xi, so we can make leek dumplings. But it's too hot now and we can't keep them. Hey, you are so big, how many dumplings can you eat in one meal?"
Let’s cook the ribs first when we get home. Oops, I forgot to buy eggs today. Do you have any eggs at home? Why am I the only one talking in this head? Why don’t you say something back to me? "
When Gu Xi was talking, she walked one step ahead. Seeing that Wang Xu didn't answer, she wanted to turn around to look at him. As the distance was too close, her head bumped into Wang Xu's chest. Her nose hurt, and she quickly covered her nose, tears welling up in her eyes.
As a result, an auntie who happened to pass by saw it and thought that Gu Xi was beaten by Wang Xu. She covered her face and cried, and ran away screaming in fear: "Help, Wang Xu, that bastard, beat people and made the new educated youth cry."
Gu Xi was dumbfounded: "Auntie, you misunderstood."
Wang Xu acted as if he was used to it: "It's okay, go back."
Gu Xi rubbed her sore nose and raised her head: "You hit me and made my nose bleed, didn't you? I feel liquid coming out of my nose."
Wang Xu walked around her and went back: "Runny nose, tears and snot."
When Gu Xi heard that it was snot, she quickly wiped it with her sleeve. It was really snot: "Fuck, Wang Xu, I'm going to kill you to silence you. You saw my runny nose. You must die, and I must be beautiful."
Wang Xu was tall and had long legs. He walked very fast with the things in his hand, his back to Gu Xi, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. When Gu Xi caught up with him, his expressionless face returned to normal.
Rumors spread in this village at an alarming speed. Gu Xi and Wang Xu had just returned home. Gu Xi had just washed her face and was sitting down to rest. She had not had time to organize her things, which were scattered in the yard. Wang Xu took the fresh ingredients to the kitchen to process them first.
Lin Ling and Wei Qingzhe rushed into the yard. As soon as Lin Ling entered the door, she yelled, "Gu Xi, where is that bastard Wang Xu? How could he beat you up so hard that your nose bled?"
Wei Qingzhe also added angrily: "Not only did he bleed from his nose, his face was also bruised and swollen from being beaten."
As soon as they finished talking, they saw Gu Xi sitting in the yard like an old man, fanning himself: "You weren't beaten?"
Gu Xi looked confused, then immediately reacted and laughed non-stop: "Ah? I was beaten? It spread so quickly hahahaha."
Lin Ling held Gu Xi's smiling face and looked around: "You don't look like you've been beaten."
Gu Xi suppressed her laughter and explained the misunderstanding. Lin Ling and Wei Qingzhe couldn't help laughing: "This village is spreading nonsense. The versions are different."
At this time, Yin Jie and Ye Xinchen also came over. As soon as they entered the yard, they looked at Gu Xi nervously, then breathed a sigh of relief. Yin Jie wiped his sweat and said, "These aunts in the village are really too much. I was wondering why my brother Xu would grab Gu Xi's head and bang it against the wall."
Ye Xinchen also understood that this was a misunderstanding and found it funny: "I heard that Wang Xu knocked Gu Xi's nose crooked and knocked out two of her front teeth."
Wan Hexing and Wan Xi arrived late, but Gu Xi was already numb: "What version did you two hear?"
Wan Hexing also reacted: "I said Brother Xu wouldn't hurt anyone, but Wan Xi was worried and came over to confirm. It's all Aunt Liang's fault. She said she saw Gu Xi and Brother Xu arguing, and Brother Xu knocked the person unconscious with one punch and threw her into the river. She saw it all clearly."
Seeing that everything was alright, everyone dispersed and went back.
Gu Xi went to the kitchen and saw Wang Xu had already blanched the ribs and put them aside, and was preparing the pork belly: "Hey, I feel sorry for you now. You have such a bad reputation in this village. You are such an evil person."
Wang Xu didn't stop moving his hands: "Isn't it good? No one dares to mess with me. Besides, we have only known each other for one day. How can you be sure that I am a good person? There is no smoke without fire. I am just like that. It's not too late to move out now."
