On the ridge of the field, the early spring breeze was still a bit cold, blowing the sparse weeds that had just emerged.
Fu Zhawei had just finished plowing the fields with the team for a whole morning and was so tired that his bones felt sore.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the steamed bun handed to him by his sister Fu Qingqing, and wolfed it down to replenish his energy.
The steamed bread from northern Xinjiang is made of cornmeal mixed with some grains. It is irritating to the throat, but it is filling and can satisfy your hunger.
He listened to his sister chattering beside him about how many work points each family in the team had received and how many eggs each family's chickens had laid, but his mind was a little distracted.
Just now, he heard the "thump thump thump" sound of the tractor from afar. He glanced over and saw the familiar figure of Liang Bin and a group of people crowded in the truck bed.
[Probably a sent-down youth from the city.] Fu Zhawei thought calmly, without any ripples in his mind.
"Brother, look at them! They're dressed so neatly!" Fu Qingqing was obviously full of curiosity about the outsiders. She stretched her neck and pointed in the direction of the village entrance. "That sister in the blue coat is so pretty!"
Fu Zhewei followed the direction of his sister's finger and raised his eyes casually.
The tractor stopped steadily, and the people in the bed were climbing down one after another.
After that, his gaze fixed.
The figure that Fu Qingqing called "the one wearing a blue coat" was petite and slender, but stood straight.
She seemed to be the last one to get off the truck. She stood on the edge of the high truck bed, tilted her head slightly, and looked at this unfamiliar village curiously.
The sunlight outlined the contours of her soft profile, and that familiar face, even from a distance, instantly and clearly caught his eyes.
She...how could she be here?!
Lin Jianxue? !
In an instant, Fu Zhewei felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if he was hit hard by something, and all his thoughts were disconnected.
She seemed to feel his gaze and turned her head.
Across the thin spring air, more than ten meters apart, their eyes collided without any warning.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
“Pah.”
A soft sound.
The half-eaten steamed bread in Fu Zhawei's hand fell to the ground.
He stared blankly at that person, at the girl who slowly got off the tractor and then picked up two large suitcases.
It's her.
It's really Lin Jianxue.
How could she... go to the countryside? And come to Shuguang Village?
Shock, confusion, disbelief... countless emotions instantly swept through his heart, making him forget to breathe for a moment.
At this moment, Fu Qingqing beside her also saw who was coming. She was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something. Her eyes suddenly widened, and she suddenly grabbed Fu Zhawei's arm and screamed:
"Brother! Brother! That's not—that's not what you care about—ugh!"
Almost as if it were a conditioned reflex, Fu Zhewei suddenly reached out and covered Fu Qingqing's mouth before she could shout out the word that frightened him!
The force was so great that Fu Qingqing whimpered in pain.
"Mmmm! Brother, what are you doing?" Fu Qingqing struggled hard, her eyes wide open and full of accusations.
Fu Zhewei didn't care about her. His heart was beating like a drum and his face was burning.
Don't let her hear it!
He raised his eyes secretly as if guilty and looked at Lin Jianxue's side.
