Chapter 8 He Chuan
Su Tao was woken up by Hu Xiao amidst a burst of urgent bell sounds, "Su Tao, hurry up, we have to rush to the village entrance!"
Su Tao was still dazed, but suddenly he woke up. He quickly got up, changed his clothes, and followed Hu Xiao.
When Su Tao arrived at the village entrance, the square was already full of people, and the production team leader was assigning tasks with a loudspeaker.
As soon as Su Tao arrived, everyone's eyes fell on Su Tao, and they whispered, "I heard that this girl was the one who pinned a female educated youth in their dormitory to the ground and beat her up really hard yesterday~"
"Impossible? Look at her skinny arms and legs. Who could she possibly beat? It's just a rumor. She's jealous of her beauty!"
"Is it useful to be beautiful? Can you do farm work?" There are always such discordant voices.
"That's not the case. He is a cultured person. How can he be compared with a rough guy like you?" There were still people who supported Su Tao.
"Bah, studying is pointless! The college entrance exam has been cancelled for years. You still have to work in the fields like us!"
.........
While the villagers were gossiping, the team leader had almost finished assigning tasks. Everyone's tasks basically continued from the morning, and Hu Xiao did his original work. When it was Su Tao's turn, team leader Wang Guodong looked at the delicate and tender girl in front of him and felt a dilemma.
Sufficient manpower had been allocated to various tasks, and Wang Guodong looked at Su Tao like a hot potato, not knowing where to put his hand. Wang Guodong's eyes swept through the crowd, and suddenly he caught sight of a tall figure. His eyes lit up, it was him.
Captain Wang Guodong cleared his throat and shouted, "He Chuan, this girl is in the same group with you. You saved her, so you have a connection with her. She came here specifically to build a new countryside. You have to teach her a lot." The more Wang Guodong thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was right.
He Chuan had grown up under his watch. He was capable and hardworking, but his personality was rather cold. His parents had passed away years earlier, leaving behind a young daughter. He Chuan had been precocious, and to support his frail younger sister, he would do any hardship or tiring work that would earn him a good grade.
Su Tao followed the captain's gaze and immediately spotted a prominent figure in the crowd. The man was tall, broad-shouldered, with a sharp, angular face, deep features, and deep eyes, exuding a composure beyond his years. He wore a worn, washed-out, pale blue vest, and his skin gleamed like a bronze in the sunlight. He didn't look like someone who would be easy to get along with.
He Chuan felt Su Tao's gaze. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes from afar, and the word "trouble" was written in his flickering eyes.
"Why did the team leader assign you to Hechuan's group? Why don't you talk to the team leader again?" Hu Xiao ran over and asked anxiously.
"What's wrong? Isn't it good to be in the same group with He Chuan? Isn't he my savior?" Su Tao looked at Hu Xiao with a puzzled look on his face.
"Taotao, you just got here and don't know this, but He Chuan's family is poor, and he has a sister who's a burden. He's doing the work of two people, and he does the most and most tiring work on the team. You should group with him..." He Xinyi appeared out of nowhere, looking at Su Tao with a pitiful look on her face, wanting to say something but unable to. "Don't be afraid, Ziqian and I will come help you after we finish our work here."
"Okay, don't come. I can't bear it." Su Tao looked at He Xinyi with disdain. Bah, you come to help, it's more like you come to watch the joke, with a face full of gloating.
He Xinyi looked deeply shocked, her face turned pale, and her eyes instantly filled with tears, as if Su Tao had bullied her.
But some people just fall for this trick, "Su Tao, if you are angry, come to me. Xinyi also cares about you. She has always valued you as a friend." Shen Ziqian looked distressed and quickly defended her.
