"I just want to ask you why, after paying the money, you still took the trouble to run so far in the middle of the night to buy me food to replenish my body." Su Nan calmed down, raised her pretty face slightly, her eyes sparkling.
Before Zhou Rang had time to think of a good way to speak, she asked him again and again: "Zhou Rang, are you interested in me?"
Su Nan spoke wittily, her lips slowly curled up, her eyes charming and alluring as she looked straight into his eyes, as if she wanted to look into his heart.
Compared to the various frank displays of affection in society in later generations, most young men and women of this era were relatively conservative and self-restrained.
As long as they believe that holding hands will be the rest of their lives, men and women will keep a distance from each other, and dare not be ambiguous or too close.
Even grown men would feel embarrassed when talking about emotions, let alone girls.
Even if they really love each other, they will keep it to themselves. Finally, when the time is right, the man will ask someone to go to the woman's house to act as a matchmaker. Only in this way can it be considered a normal marriage in the general environment.
So it was the first time that Zhou Rang encountered a girl asking him face to face whether he had special feelings for her, and he was speechless for a moment.
In fact, the most important thing is that he doesn't know how to answer. Ask yourself, is he really interested in Su Nan? But how long have they known each other? Isn't it that feelings are developed over time? Just like his father.
But even he himself could not explain why he could not stand idly by whenever he encountered something related to Su Nan.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Su Nan sighed softly, not knowing whether she was disappointed or relieved. Anyway, she didn't let him see the expression on her face, so she just lay down and covered her face with a thin sheet.
He said in a muffled voice, "I misunderstood. Sorry. Just pretend that I didn't say anything today. Zhou Zhizhi, you should go and have a rest. I will have someone estimate the price and return the money, tickets, and favors to you."
Su Nan's voice was soft and even a little coquettish, but Zhou Rang knew that she was definitely unhappy.
The tall figure of the man stood beside the bed, facing the light, which outlined his majestic figure. However, such a manly man could not utter a word to ease the tense atmosphere.
A trace of entanglement and complexity flashed across his dark pupils. He took one last look at Su Nan who covered himself with a quilt, and finally turned and left.
With a "bang", the door was closed and only Su Nan lying on the bed was left in the room.
It was not until she heard Li Cuiping inviting Zhou Rang to stay for dinner but was rejected that Su Nan lifted the bed sheet and took a deep breath. She was almost suffocating.
There wasn't a trace of unhappiness on that little face. The corners of her mouth were almost raised to the sky, and she was smiling sweetly. She was born with a pair of charming peach blossom eyes with an upward curve at the corners, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes away.
Tsk tsk, Zhou Rang doesn’t look like a naive boy, but who would have thought that he is actually so innocent?
A simple question stumped him. Not only did he stammer and fail to answer, he even turned around and ran away.
If it's boring, it's boring. If it's interesting, it's interesting. Why is he so hesitant? Is it so difficult to admit that he likes her?
Su Nan touched his cheek and murmured to himself, "I'm so good-looking, it's not shameful to like me."
It turns out that Zhou Rang is still ignorant of love. That would be even more interesting. Sister will let you experience what it feels like to be trapped in a woman's arms and unable to get out.
Su Nan, who is actually three years older than Zhou Rang, has already been secretly thinking of strategies and countermeasures in his mind.
*
For more than a week, Su Nan stayed at Xiao's house to "recuperate". She couldn't go out of the main door or go out of the second door, which made her feel suffocated.
In the evening, the sky began to darken, accompanied by the whistling wind and rumbling thunder. Soon, big raindrops began to fall, more and more, and heavier and heavier.
The workers who were originally working in the fields immediately finished their work after the team leader gave the order. They hurriedly picked up hoes, sickles and other tools, ran up the field and ran to the team's warehouse.
"Tick, tick." Rainwater fell from the eaves onto the ground, gradually forming small puddles in the low-lying areas. A group of people hid under the eaves and lined up to register. They could not go home until they returned their appliances.
The people at the educated youth site gathered together, talking and laughing, but they excluded a tall girl, clearly isolating and ostracizing her.
Qin Xiaolan, who was surrounded by the female educated youth, folded her hands and glanced at Liu Yu, who was at the end, with disdain.
Humph, this is what happens when you go against her.
In just one week, Qin Xiaolan became famous with the title of "Shanghai's Rich Daughter".
I heard that her father is the director of a large factory in Shanghai, her cousin is the leader of the Finance Bureau, her brother is studying at a Shanghai university, and all her relatives are either cadres or workers.
The reason why she went to the countryside this time was to respond to national policies and assist rural construction.
These passionate remarks were admirable, and many people lamented that it was no wonder that Qin Xiaolan, who came from such a good family, still went to the countryside. It turned out that it was because she had such a great and lofty ideological realm.
In addition, Qin Xiaolan looked dignified and generous, so she easily won the love of most of the old and new educated youth.
As for Su Nan, who moved out of the educated youth site and lived in the best-office team leader's house in the village because of a broken leg on the second day after arriving, he had long been portrayed by Qin Xiaolan and Su Tiantian as a vicious, petty, and gossipy villain.
The most outrageous thing is that some people even said that Su Nan broke his leg on purpose, just to be lazy and not work, so that he could eat and drink for free at the captain's house.
What's outrageous is that this statement was echoed by many people. The rumor spread more and more among the educated youth, and even Liu Yu, who was a good friend of Su Nan, was put on the blacklist of people to date.
After all, outsiders don't know that Su Nan paid for her meals herself, although she hasn't had the chance to return the money to Zhou Rang yet.
As for living in a spacious and comfortable brick house, it was Xiao Fangchi's family who allowed Su Nan to live there out of a responsible attitude, and she also spent a lot of money to subsidize the Xiao family's food.
But it seems that except for the people, no one cares about these truths. They only see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe.
Life is so boring and farm work is so hard. I have to find something to talk about after dinner.
I don't know who mentioned Su Nan first, but the educated youth started talking about this incident, and the voices gradually grew from whispers to deafening.
Not only people nearby could hear it, but even the villagers standing far in front of them could hear it.
He is totally reckless and just gossiping.
"Hey, sister, is that Su Nansu educated youth really as lazy and gluttonous as you say?"
When everyone looked over, they saw a middle-aged woman with sallow skin and sun spots on her cheeks approaching them. Her eyes, as big as soybeans, were shining, as if she had smelled gossip.
Her ear-length hair hadn't been washed for a long time and was hanging down in front of her forehead, greasy. Her clothes were also dirty, and a strong smell of feces and urine filled the air.
