Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

The task was to weed the sesame field, which was considered an easy job. Yuanchun was assigned a piece of land of one acre in size, which was her task for the day.

She was quick and worked efficiently, and could finish hoeing in three hours.

When I was halfway through digging the dirt, a big scoundrel showed up.

"Yuanchun, it's so boring to work alone without anyone to talk to. I'll help you weed and talk to you, and we can cultivate our relationship. My mother said that she likes you and wants you to be her daughter-in-law. As long as you agree, I will never let you work in the fields and raise you at home as an ancestor. How about that?"

"No matter what, I don't like you."

Yuanchun felt disgusted.

This is a well-known scoundrel in the village, an old, ugly bachelor, a scoundrel. His mother is a well-known shrew in the village. Once you get involved with this mother and son, you can't get rid of them even if you want to.

Of course, Yuanchun has plenty of ways to deal with him.

A mental thought was sent over, and Er Laizi picked up the hoe with a dull look in her eyes, left her mission site, and went to the mission site assigned to Liu Baozhu not far away.

The three Liu siblings were not assigned together. The Yunqiao Brigade planted a lot of sugarcane fields. Before the double harvest of rice, the production team had to water the sugarcane with manure.

Liu Fusheng was tall and was assigned to carry manure.

Liu Fucai was assigned to water the manure.

Like Yuanchun, Liu Baozhu was allocated an acre of sesame field. She was working on it reluctantly. After weeding for half a day, she only managed to weed enough space for two beds.

Er Laizi helped her with the work, and she did not stop him. She even took it for granted that she threw the work to Er Laizi alone and went to enjoy the cool under a big tree at the edge of the field.

Not long after, the second rascal's mother, the old shrew, started to grumble, "Oh, my son doesn't do his own work, but helps his wife with work. What an unfilial son! He flatters and coaxes the wife before she even gets married. If she gets married, there will be no place for me in the house in the future."

Everyone in the village knows what kind of person Erlaizi's mother is.

No one believed her.

Er Laizi's mother put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't disbelieve me, my Er Laizi is weeding for others."

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Er Laizi's wife, someone is going to be Er Laizi's wife, who is it, is it from our village?"

"It's... Liu Baozhu."

Erlaizi's mother twisted her tongue and changed the name she was about to say.

Er Laizi was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat. He was about to explain, but he muttered incoherently, "Look, my Er Laizi is helping Liu Baozhu with the work. She didn't refuse. It was because my Er Laizi felt sorry for his wife and let her go to rest. My Er Laizi was working in the fields alone."

Er Laizi's mother spoke with certain details. Everyone stopped working and looked around. Oh, in a field not far away, Er Laizi was working hard, and there was a woman sitting at the edge of the field. She was none other than Liu Baozhu.

Some people were shocked, "Oh my, Er Laizi is really helping Liu Baozhu with work."

"Oh my, Er Laizi's mother, your Er Laizi is really good. He actually managed to coax Liu Baozhu into his arms."

"Mother Erlai, when your family has a wedding, remember to invite us to have a drink."

"Although Liu Baozhu is a bit lazy and has a bad reputation, he is still one of the few high school students in the village. Although he hasn't graduated yet, he is only one year away. Why did he fall for Er Laizi?"

"According to seniority, Liu Baozhu should call Er Laizi uncle."

"What uncle or not? He is not related to me. Liu Baozhu is already 18 years old. She is old enough to get a husband. If she hadn't been studying before, she would have been married by now."

"Yeah, in our village, there are girls her age who are mothers."

……

The women working on the adjacent plots of land were chatting animatedly while working, and occasionally their curious glances would cast towards Liu Baozhu who was sitting under a tree not far away.

Liu Baozhu was unaware of anything.
