"Aunt Lan, you don't know Brother Xu. He's the man most unmarried women in the brigade want to marry. He has a job and gets paid every month. He comes to visit us whenever he's free and often brings us candy!"
When Song Tanglan heard this, her face lit up as she looked at Xiaohu, hoping to get more information out of him. "Xiaohu, you know I've only been here a few days. There are so many unmarried women in the team. Who wants to marry him?"
Xiaohu didn't realize her trick and just thought that Song Tanglan was also interested.
"Yes, there are many. Even quite a few educated youth are here. Every time Brother Xu comes, that educated youth Zhou often comes to see him. There's also the accountant's granddaughter, the first team leader's second daughter, and the eldest daughter of the Cui family's second branch. They've all asked me about Brother Xu."
After saying that, he looked around again and whispered in her ear.
"That married Su Zhiqing, I saw her give a gift to Brother Xu before, but Brother Xu didn't accept it."
Song Tanglan never thought that he could get such a big melon by picking up cabbage?
I have seen the accountant's granddaughter myself. She is pretty, but a little arrogant. Her skin is a healthy wheat color. She is not short, but a little strong.
I have never seen the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Cui family, but I have heard my aunts discuss her. I heard that she is very capable. Although she does not always get full work points like Su Tao, she is not worse than the educated youth.
But most of the people in the countryside get married at the age of 17 or 18. She is already 19 this year, and is often teased as an old maid in the team.
I was fortunate enough to meet the first captain's beloved daughter. Just as the rumors said, I heard that she had been in poor health since childhood, which made her weak all day long. Fortunately, they only had one daughter in the family and she didn't need to work in the fields.
It was just that this girl would come to the field to deliver water from time to time, so I had the opportunity to meet her. However, this girl's aesthetic taste was not very good, and she only liked colorful skirts.
Among a group of plain people, she is indeed eye-catching, but she can also easily become a laughing stock.
"Xiao Hu, how do you know all this?"
"Everyone in the brigade knows this. If Brother Xu hadn't come to our brigade so often, the threshold of my cousin's house might have been broken down."
Looking at Xiaohu's vivid description, Song Tanglan almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"That little tiger is really amazing, he actually knows something like this."
"Of course. My mother told Xiaohu to study with Brother Xu more, so that he won't have to worry about not finding a wife in the future." After saying this, she became very shy, with a blushing face.
Seeing him like this, Song Tanglan couldn't help but want to continue teasing him, but Xu Qi, who was picking cabbages not far away, had already walked near them.
There were originally more than half a row of cabbages that had been unharvested, but now only a few were left in the field. Song Tanglan knew that men worked fast, but she didn't expect them to work so fast. She almost dropped her jaw in shock.
Fortunately, Xiaohu pulled her aside, and the two stopped discussing the gossip about the parties involved, and instead put the cabbages harvested by Xu Qi into a sack.
The work that was supposed to take half an hour was finished in just ten minutes, which made Song Tanglan feel a little frustrated.
After the sack was tied, Song Tanglan thanked him from a distance.
Xu Qi said it was okay, this little bit of work was not enough for him to warm up!
However, seeing that the little girl was so sincere, he didn't say anything to discourage her. Instead, he picked up the cabbage and left with Xiaohu.
They came and went in a hurry. If the cabbages in the field had not been harvested, Song Tanglan would have doubted that what had just happened had never happened.
Song Tanglan couldn't help but sigh. "No wonder he's so popular with girls. With the speed he works, it's really rare that he hasn't been caught and become a son-in-law."
After saying that, he began to pack up the tools in the field and walked towards the two acres of land not far away.
The aunts had already finished harvesting the two acres of land and were picking up the leaves that they didn't want to rot to feed the chickens. When Su Tao saw her coming, she happily walked up to her and asked.
"Lanlan, have you finished harvesting the cabbages? I was thinking of helping you after I finish here!"
"We've finished harvesting. Xiaohu and his brother Xu just came to help. They harvested all the cabbages in the field in no time and are now carrying them back."
Song Tanglan explained to Su Tao calmly, but he would occasionally look at her expression out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see if she knew Xu Qi. If she did, maybe she knew some gossip that Xiaohu didn't know.
Unfortunately, Su Tao didn't know this person.
"Hmm? Who is Brother Xu?"
"It's the scorekeeper's younger brother. I think he happened to be working nearby, so he came to see his sister."
Su Tao didn't have much interest in this person, and her attitude remained unchanged as she chatted with him normally.
"Oh, so you're not from the team!"
"Yes, I don't know where he is from either, but I just heard Xiaohu talk about his gossip, about the educated youth. Do you want to hear it?"
Su Tao, who had been calm at first, immediately brightened up when she heard the gossip and the news about the educated youth. She carefully looked around and then spoke in a very low voice.
"Really? Good Lanlan, tell me, I promise not to tell anyone."
Seeing how curious she was, Song Tanglan was also very excited. This kind of gossip was interesting to share, especially when it was about the old educated youth.
"I heard from Xiaohu that Zhou Zhiqing liked Comrade Xu. Every time he came to the brigade, he would often bring him all kinds of food and gifts! But he didn't pay attention to Zhou Zhiqing."
When Su Tao heard this, she thought of Zhou Xiaoli's disgusting face. She didn't expect that this person actually liked the scorer's younger brother, and she hid it so well that she had never heard anyone else talk about it in the Youth League Institute.
