Summer harvest is a busy time, and the hot weather can burn off a layer of skin.
Qian Shulan came out of the chicken farm and ran to the field with a sharp sickle in her hand. Her movements did not look like that of an old lady who was nearly seventy years old.
She ran to her own land, panting, and continued her previous work while looking at the wheat that she had just harvested halfway.
After working for quite a while, I heard Zhuzi next to me calling out, "Grandma, go home. The sun is rising. You'll get a heat stroke."
"Okay!" Qian Shulan straightened her stiff back. It was really annoying! When will we have a combine harvester
Li Chunhua and Zhuzi came over, and Zhuzi handed the boiled water in his hand to Qian Shulan, "Milk, drink some first."
Qian Shulan shook her head, "I'm not thirsty!"
After that, the three of them walked home together. Halfway through the journey, Zhuzi, who had sharp eyes, saw someone lying on the ground in front of him.
He was startled and ran forward. Seeing that it was a woman, he turned around and shouted, "Mother, mother, it's a female educated youth."
Female educated youth? Qian Shulan was slightly startled and quickened her pace. Unexpectedly, Li Chunhua was faster than her. She ran forward, pulled up the pillar, and hid far away, as if the girl was a plague area.
Qian Shulan didn't think much about it and thought that Li Chunhua was having trouble with the relationship because of the inconveniences of being a man or a woman.
She walked forward and looked down. It turned out to be the educated youth group leader Kong Qiuyun. Qian Shulan had a deep impression of this girl. She was very pretty, had lively eyes, and a sharp mind. She looked smart.
Qian Shulan rolled her eyelids and tried to open her military canteen, but then she realized that there was no water in it. She turned around and reached out to the pillar, "Give me your canteen."
Zhuzi quickly handed it over, and Li Chunhua snatched it away, unscrewed the lid of Qian Shulan's military water bottle and poured it in, "Mom, this is a female educated youth, we just need to save her, but don't let Zhuzi have anything to do with her."
Qian Shulan looked at her deeply and was suddenly at a loss for words. It seemed that Li Chunhua was frightened by Wu Lijun. This was the saying that once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of the rope for ten years.
Qian Shulan asked Li Chunhua to hold Kong Qiuyun's head and put the bottle mouth towards her mouth to pour the liquid into her.
Then he wet his towel and placed it on her forehead, waiting quietly.
Seeing the sun getting hotter and hotter, Li Chunhua's stomach growled with hunger, and she was a little anxious, "Mom, when will she wake up?"
Qian Shulan wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Why don't we take her back?"
Li Chunhua nodded, "Okay!"
With Li Chunhua around, there is no need for old lady Qian Shulan to carry anyone.
Qian Shulan put Kong Qiuyun on Li Chunhua's back and asked her to hold up Kong Qiuyun's legs. "Don't let her fall."
"oh!"
When they arrived at the village entrance, Li Chunhua sent Kong Qiuyun to the educated youth point, Qian Shulan went home alone, and Zhuzi was waiting for his mother at the village entrance.
Qian Shulan originally thought that this was just a trivial matter. After all, seeing a girl lying in the middle of the road would make one feel a little compassionate.
In the afternoon, when the sun went down, Qian Shulan went to the fields to work again.
Li Chunhua's voice could be heard from a distance, "Girl, you really don't have to thank me. I just did it for fun."
When Qian Shulan reached the end of the field, she discovered that Kong Qiuyun kept thanking Li Chunhua, and Li Chunhua seemed quite impatient.
Seeing that she didn't like him, Kong Qiuyun felt it was not good to stay here any longer. She thanked him and turned to leave. Zhuzi was worried that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said, "Kong Zhiqing, my mother didn't mean anything else. She just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
Before Kong Qiuyun could speak, Li Chunhua glared at him and said, "You forgot what I told you at noon, right?"
Zhuzi's face turned red, as if he had thought of something, and he hurriedly lowered his head to work.
When Kong Qiuyun walked past Qian Shulan, she nodded and smiled at her.
Qian Shulan walked to the edge of the field to cut wheat, and said to Li Chunhua earnestly, "There's no need for you to be suspicious. They just came to thank you. Why are you looking so long-faced? You look like a donkey."
Li Chunhua glanced at Zhuzi who was cutting wheat with his head down, "Oh! I am really afraid of these educated youths. They are more vicious than each other. Zhuzi is too kind-hearted. I am worried that he will be deceived."
First it was Chen Xuanxuan, then Wei Jianshe, and finally Wu Lijun. You know what, one of these three people would make people wary, and it was not without reason that Li Chunhua was so scared.
Li Chunhua bent down and tied a knot. "Besides, didn't you say before that these educated youths might still return to the city? Wouldn't Zhuzi be abandoned by then?"
What the hell is going on here? Zhuzi just said one sentence to someone, but she could imagine so many things.
Qian Shulan was worried that she was overdoing it. Zhuzi had no such idea at first, but after being reminded by Qian Shulan, he had an idea. She hurriedly said, "Just don't mention it in the future. Zhuzi is a smart kid."
Li Chunhua thought, smart people don't make stupid mistakes? Many men have been seduced by women and have done many stupid things.
She looked at Zhuzi worriedly, feeling itchy inside. She had taken Zhuzi to look for a date before, but he had never been able to find a suitable match. When she asked him about it, he always said that he didn't like her. He was really picky. She didn't know what kind of person he was looking for.
After the summer harvest, she would definitely ask the matchmaker to help her son find a partner. She couldn't go on like this.
The summer harvest is over quickly.
Zhuzi was wearing a brand new white shirt, beige pants and a pair of white Warrior sneakers early in the morning. His father bought this pair of shoes for him from a big city.
He usually wouldn't wear it, so he changed into it today because he was going on a blind date.
Li Chunhua was very satisfied with his outfit. Her eyes stayed on his feet and she reminded him worriedly, "Your grandma said that you have to cover your sneakers with good toilet paper when drying them, otherwise they will turn yellow easily. Be careful when you ride your bike."
Zhuzi agreed hurriedly, put on his earth-colored backpack, rode the bicycle his mother borrowed from the commune, and quickly left the house.
"You must take a good look at each other and stop being so picky!" Seeing his figure disappear, Li Chunhua hurriedly followed behind and shouted.
Zhuzi said "hmm" without even turning his head. Someone happened to pass by and heard what Li Chunhua said, and laughed, "Are you going on a blind date again? Who are you going on a blind date with?"
Li Chunhua shook her head. "I was introduced to you by someone else, but I don't know if it will work out."
Anyway, I won't tell you. Whether it works or not, it won't ruin the girl's reputation. The man had no choice but to give up.
Zhuzi rode his bicycle and quickly climbed a steep slope. Although the slope was a little curved, he didn't feel tired at all. He looked down at the white sneakers on his feet and was very satisfied. He stretched out his legs and rushed down by inertia.
Running past like a gust of wind, Zhuzi felt that the petite figure on the side of the road was very familiar. He stopped his bicycle and looked back, "Is it you? Are you going to town too?"
Kong Qiuyun smiled brightly, "I'm going to send a letter home!" She turned her head to look at his attire, thinking that he looked pretty good dressed up. She smiled faintly and asked, "Are you going there to meet someone?"
Zhuzi was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "Yes!"
Kong Qiuyun smiled and said, "Then go quickly. It's not good to be late."
Zhuzi hesitated, "How about I take you with me?"
Kong Qiuyun was slightly startled and quickly shook her head, "No need!"
It is easy for a single man and a single woman to be misunderstood when riding on the same bicycle, so Kong Qiuyun naturally had to be careful.
Zhuzi regretted what he said the moment he said it. When he heard her refusal, he felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After he nodded at her, he rode away quickly on his bike.
Zhuzi and the girl agreed to meet in town, and the location was naturally in front of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Because the failure rate of matchmaking was so high, the matchmaker was worried that he would ruin her reputation, so she asked him to meet outside.
Even if it fails, not many people will know about it.
When Zhuzi arrived, the girl also arrived, with a pair of braids hanging on both sides. She had regular features, double eyelids, big eyes, and a mouth like a cherry. The only drawback was that she was too dark. Darker than him.
Zhuzi is a little skeptical. With such tan, is he really a high school graduate
He suppressed his doubts and nodded at her, "Are you Gao Xiaoli?"
Hearing his question, Gao Xiaoli seemed to be frightened. Her eyes widened, she twisted her fingers, and nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice.
Zhuzi frowned slightly. He was not a tiger, so why should he be so scary
Zhuzi put aside his doubts and introduced himself seriously, "My name is Wang Zhenghao, I'm nineteen years old, and I graduated from high school."
Gao Xiaoli looked up at him, then quickly lowered her head and whispered, "My name is Gao Xiaoli, and I'm eighteen years old."
Zhuzi curled the corners of his lips and asked, "When did you graduate from high school?"
Gao Xiaoli became even more nervous. She swallowed her saliva and blushed terribly. "I... I graduated two years ago."
Zhuzi tilted his head slightly, "Wasn't the school closed before? How did you get a high school diploma in 1972?"
Gao Xiaoli's hands trembled, and she didn't even dare to raise her head. She moved a few steps to the side, looking quite ashamed.
Zhuzi was just trying to trick her, but he didn't expect it to work. He was a little annoyed. So, why did he come to see her? She never chose according to his conditions, which was really frustrating.
After standing at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time, Zhuzi saw Kong Qiuyun appear and his eyes lit up. "I'm sorry, I met my sister. Let's meet again another day."
Gao Xiaoli just mustered up the courage to speak, but before she could say anything, she saw him running away quickly.
The girl was very pretty, fair-skinned and delicate.
He should like girls like this. Gao Xiaoli was a little disappointed. Something seemed to be coming out of her heart.
She really liked this boy. When she followed her father to Wangjia Village to order chicks, she saw him helping there and she started thinking about him.
When she heard that he was looking for a partner, she immediately asked her family to find a matchmaker in their village. However, who would have thought that he rejected her as soon as they met.
She stared at his back in dismay for a long time.
After everyone left, Gao Xiaoli's mother came out of the supply and marketing cooperative and saw her daughter staring into the distance. "What are you looking at? Where is the person you want to see?"
Gao Xiaoli pursed her lips and said, "He left. He didn't like me."
Gao Xiaoli's mother curled her lips and said indifferently, "If you don't like her, then you don't like her. You lied to get her conditions, so it's not good after all."
Gao Xiaoli's nose turned red. "But I really like him."
Gao Xiaoli's mother was not the type to spoil her children. She sighed and said, "It's useless even if you like her. She doesn't like you."
Gao Xiaoli's eyes turned red instantly.
