Su Erhe felt that his face was probably hanging on a branch, fluttering in the wind.
It’s better to ignore this person and walk forward faster.
He Zheng was slow and measured, looking at her slender back, "Su Erhe, are you shy?"
"Mr. He!" Su Erhe turned around suddenly, with anger flashing in his eyes.
He Zheng had gained some advantages, so he stopped asking for more.
Du Ruoyun followed behind and watched the intimate interaction between the two. At that time, He Zheng had never treated her like this. He always had a lukewarm attitude towards her. It couldn't be said to be intimate, but he was not much different from others. Could it be because she was not as beautiful as Su Erhe?
"Du Ruoyun, can I work with you too?" After walking for a while, Zhu Xing caught up with Du Ruoyun and affectionately took her arm.
Du Ruoyun was not used to it. When she was in the village before, she didn't have a very good relationship with Zhu Xing. It was really strange now, but she was not an active person and was embarrassed to refuse, so she could only let Zhu Xing hold her arm.
Along the way, Zhu Xing kept telling Du Ruoyun how bad Suerhe was.
Her voice was like a loud speaker, with no control at all.
Du Ruoyun listened for a while and then asked quietly, "According to what you said, their relationship is very good, right?"
Zhu Xing was stunned. "What's good about that? It's Su Erhe who is shameless enough to pester Brother He Zheng."
Du Ruoyun was just about to say that what she saw was not like that, it was He Zheng who was pestering Su Erhe.
"She's not that kind of person." Lu Zhou said quickly, then glanced at Zhu Xing and said to Du Ruoyun, "This girl likes to gossip. Don't get too close to her."
Girls of this age have a strong sense of self-esteem. When someone directly said that to her, especially a very handsome young man, Zhu Xing's face flushed red again, and she retorted in a sharp and shrill voice, "What do you know? Do you know Su Erhe well? You guys are all the same. You are all fascinated by her beauty."
Lu Zhou sneered, "I grew up with her, do you think I understand her?"
After saying that, without even looking at Zhu Xing's stunned expression, he pulled Du Ruoyun and the two of them quickened their pace and walked away.
In front.
Su Erhe actually heard these words, but she didn't expect Lu Zhou to speak up for her.
However, the two are not on the same path after all.
And Lu Zhou...
He has too many concerns and lacks He Zheng's courage.
Besides, there’s nothing wrong with the countryside. It’s a vast world with a lot to offer!
A group of people also arrived at the rice field. In addition to them, Li Dong and several other young people in the village also came over. Li Dong pushed a two-wheeled cart.
"Brother Zheng, as usual, the two of us will carry the rice to the threshing ground."
He Zheng patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Okay."
Everyone started to work. One person stood in a row, bent over, grabbed a handful of rice in his left hand, and held a sickle in his right hand. He cut and put the rice away, and as he moved forward, he left piles of rice behind him.
Su Erhe rolled up his sleeves and started to bundle the rice behind. After finishing a row of bundles, he moved the rice to the edge of the field and secretly added more rice when no one was paying attention.
The sun gradually rose higher.
The fields are still bustling with the autumn harvest. Some are bending over to cut rice, some are bundling rice, and some are responsible for transporting the rice to the threshing ground. Those who have carts use them, and if there are not enough carts, they use manpower.
Adult men carried heavy loads of rice and walked briskly between the ridges of the fields.
Even children of seven or eight years old carried baskets and picked up the leftover rice ears.
At this time, Suerhe was following behind a cart that was piled with heavy rice. The newly harvested rice was full of moisture and heavy. It was piled so high on the cart that the two rubber wheels were almost deflated.
He Zheng and Li Dong were pulling in front.
Su Erhe followed behind and pushed. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he secretly added more things on top while tidying up.
She didn't know how much she had added in the chaos, but she copied it while tying it up, and then took it out secretly.
"Brother Zheng, do you feel that this cart of rice is getting heavier?"
Li Dong and He Zheng had carried the goods several times and had taken off their coats long ago. They were only wearing a shirt with their sleeves rolled up, revealing their strong forearm muscles.
Li Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and for a moment he wondered if Suerhe had also sat on it, and looked back several times.
"What nonsense!"
He Zheng also felt heavy, but Su Erhe was following behind him, and he wanted to show off. He couldn't let Su Erhe think that he couldn't even pull a cart of rice.
That would really affect his masculinity.
Su Erhe also heard this and felt guilty.
She kept adding more and more, but it kept getting heavier and heavier.
I silently said sorry in my heart and continued to add more when no one was around.
We finally arrived at the threshing ground.
Li Dong couldn't stand it anymore and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. "Damn it, this thing is getting heavier and heavier!"
He Zheng also shook his shirt to breathe, he was sweating profusely, it was too hot.
Sulhe walked away silently and went behind the piled rice. More and more rice was transported in, piled up like a mountain. She went around to the back and saw that there was no one around, so she moved out a large pile of rice from the space and mixed it in.
She herself did not plan to keep such rice. The rice had not been threshed or dried, so there was no use for her to keep it. The best would be polished rice, which could be used directly to cook rice, porridge, or grind into flour. At worst, it would be unpeeled rice.
Another pile of rice has been put away.
Su Erhe walked back while no one was paying attention. He Zheng and Li Dong were drinking cold water in big gulps.
There is a big wooden barrel here, which contains water drawn from the well. There are several big bowls next to it. Anyone who wants to drink water can scoop it out by themselves.
Seeing her coming over, He Zheng handed her the bowl in his hand and asked, "Want some water?"
Su Erhe shook her head. She calculated that her period was coming soon and she didn't want to drink cold water because it would hurt.
"The bowl is mine. Look, there are my family's words on the bottom of the bowl. I'll wash it for you." He Zheng thought she thought the bowl was dirty. How could a grown man like him know such private matters about women?
Su Erhe said, "No, I don't drink cold water. You guys are busy, I have to go back to cook. It's the same if I drink it when I get home."
"Okay, then you go back. I'll go over to eat later."
He Zheng said this very smoothly. Li Dong beside him opened his mouth in surprise. He felt that what He Zheng said was as smooth as going back to his own home for dinner.
He Zheng nudged him with his foot, "What are you doing? Are you envious? Then you should find a wife too."
Li Dong smiled bitterly and said, "You know my family situation, why are you looking for a wife?"
The two of them had a good relationship, and Su Erhe had seen it before, so she ignored them. Anyway, she had added a lot of rice in the morning, and she was really tired from running around in the fields. Her legs were so sore that she couldn't lift them, so she hurried home, washed her hands, and started cooking.
Scrambled eggs and stewed meat are all cooked with rich oil and sauce. The more oil and water there is, the better. Without oil and water, it is really impossible to do such heavy work.
There was no one else at home, so she was alone facing the stove, looking at the fire from time to time, and then returning to the stove to cook.
The pork belly was put into the pan and the oil sizzled.
This voice drowned out other sounds. Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly came up on his shoulder. Su Erhe screamed in fright and the spatula fell out of his hand.
