After work, the farmers in the fields packed up their tools and returned them to the storage room.
Rong Yan came out of the storage room and stood at the crossroads to wait for Chen Yunyun.
As darkness fell, a light footstep came from behind Rong Yan.
"Comrade Chen..."
Rong Yan turned his head.
The woman speaking was a sent-down youth from the city. She was tall and had a pretty figure. Many young men in the village liked her and were eager to help her with chores.
At this moment, she was filled with shyness, clutching an envelope-like object tightly in her hand, and dared not look directly at Rong Yan.
The female educated youth blushed and forcefully shoved the envelope into Rong Yan's hand. "Comrade Chen, you must read this!"
After saying that, she glanced at Rong Yan with those alluring eyes, then ran away shyly.
Rong Yan lowered his head, holding a light envelope with delicate handwriting on it.
Suddenly a hand reached out from the side and snatched the envelope away.
Rong Yan glanced sideways and met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but weren't.
Chen Yunyun smiled jokingly, "It's already May, and some people's love luck is really good."
The man paused slightly, a calm smile playing on his lips. "If you don't like it, you don't have to."
That sounds a bit flirtatious.
Chen Yunyun was stunned, and then she heard a man's soft chuckle.
Only then did she belatedly realize that she had been teased...
"Rong Yan!!!"
The two joked and teased each other as they walked home.
Seeing someone approaching from afar on the road, Chen Yunyun recognized the one walking at the very front; he was someone who worked alongside the brigade leader.
"Comrade Chen, Comrade Xiao Chen, just finished work?"
The visitors greeted her, and Chen Yunyun nodded in response, "What are you doing here?"
"Those behind are all from the 'Five Black Categories,' and they will be assigned to your team from now on. They will be responsible for all the dirty and hard work."
The Five Black Categories?
Chen Yunyun looked back and saw several people, young and old, with their hands tied.
That boy...
Chen Yunyun narrowed her eyes and turned to the side, "You guys go ahead and get busy. It's so late, go home and rest early when you're done."
The man then bid farewell to Chen Yunyun and led his men toward the cowshed.
After the group left, Chen Yunyun stopped arguing with Rong Yan.
She was now recalling the plot of the original book, in which the male protagonist came from a "black five categories" background.
The male protagonist is exiled to Xu Family Village, where he meets the kind-hearted female protagonist...
When Chen Yunyun looked at the group of people just now, she did see a little boy with extremely delicate features. Perhaps this was the male protagonist in the original book.
Alarm bells rang in Chen Yunyun's mind: she must not let Xu Jingtian fall in love with the male lead from the original book!
Thinking this, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
Rong Yan glanced back at the group of people who had just passed by, then followed her home at a leisurely pace.
"Mother~"
As soon as she got home, all three children surrounded her. Xu Jingsheng hugged Chen Yunyun's leg, whining and wanting a hug.
Chen Yunyun channeled her "master of balancing" skills, taking excellent care of each child's emotions before entering the kitchen.
"Arun, you play with your little brother for a while, and Atian, come help me in the kitchen."
“Okay, Mother~” Xu Jingtian happily followed Chen Yunyun into the kitchen.
Rong Yan had already changed his clothes and was tending the fire behind the stove.
Chen Yunyun took out the clean vegetables she had grown in her private plot and washed them with Xu Jingtian.
While washing, Chen Yunyun asked, "A-Tian, are you going to school tomorrow?"
"Yes, Teacher Xia said there will be a test tomorrow, and if we do well, we'll get a reward!"
"Oh, is that so? Then our Ah Tian must do well on her exams!"
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll definitely do my best on the exam!" Xu Jingtian's face was flushed.
Chen Yunyun washed the vegetable leaves with clean water, carefully considered her words, and then cautiously asked, "A-Tian, are there any handsome little boys in your class?"
"Um?"
Xu Jingtian's eyes seemed to be filled with question marks.
She rolled her dark, grape-like eyes, trying to recall...
Oh no, she's been studying so hard that she can't even remember what her classmates look like anymore.
Of all my classmates, I only remember He Yue.
Xu Jingtian answered honestly. She glanced at Chen Yunyun's expression and asked softly, "Mother, why are you asking this?"
Chen Yunyun coughed and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Our A-Tian should study hard and earn lots of money to support her mother in the future, okay?"
Xu Jingtian nodded obediently, then lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought...
Why did Mother suddenly ask the handsome little boy?
The whole family knows that my mother likes good-looking people.
So, when your mother asked this question... did she want to raise a handsome little boy?
No, no, Mother can take care of just a few of them!
They were already unhappy with just one more Rong Yan; if there were any more...
Xu Jingtian frowned, clearly feeling a sense of crisis!
