Liu Mancang is quite thick-skinned.

If it was Zhao Jisheng, he would not eat the food in Xie Zhuo's lunch box openly after Xie Zhuo finished scolding him. But Liu Mancang, on the other hand, took advantage of the time when Xie Zhuo was wiping his hands to put several pieces of meat into his own bowl, and then ran away with the bowl in his hand.

Xie Zhuo was cursing behind him.

Xu Yan felt like laughing when he saw this.

"Eat quickly, the captain will urge us to eat soon," said Xu Yan.

Only then did Xie Zhuo put the towel he used to wipe his hands back into the backpack, picked up the lunch box and started eating.

Of course he recognized at a glance that the meals were not made by Xu Yan, and that the lunch boxes were from a state-owned restaurant. However, when Liu Mancang misunderstood just now, he did not give much explanation.

The meat is braised pork, and the seasonings are well-prepared. When you bite into your mouth, you can smell the aroma of meat and seasoning mixed together.

Xie Zhuo took a big bite of meat and then stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

The food was considered the best among all the people in Qingshan Brigade. Even the brigade leader's family only had steamed buns made of two grains of flour, with a fried vegetable and some pickles.

The food at Carpenter Zhao's house was also good. Zhao Bin went to the city to buy meat, so he probably fried a meat dish. As soon as he started eating, he heard cheers from the people around him.

Xie Zhuo shoveled a few more mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

"Slow down, don't choke," Xu Yan watched him eat, feeling that he would starve to death if he didn't eat this food.

"I'm hungry." Xie Zhuo slowed down a bit, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said to Xu Yan: "Why don't you go back and eat first, and I can take the lunch box with me when I go back in the afternoon."

"I'm not that hungry yet," Xu Yan waved his hand, "If someone sees us, they'll gossip about us."

Xie Zhuo frowned.

A few days ago, he and Xu Yan were walking on the road. Because they were too close, the team leader reprimanded them, saying that someone had reported them for having a bad influence.

Xie Zhuo wanted to ask who was so talkative that he was reported for being too close to his own wife. What was wrong with him?

Song Guangming didn't tell him, but just asked him to be a little more careful outside.

Xie Zhuo really wanted to say in response, "I just love walking close to my wife," but considering Xu Yan, he held back.

He didn't want people to gossip about Xu Yan behind his back.

The meal was quick and satisfying. When Xie Zhuo got up and walked to the field, Xu Yan packed up his things and prepared to go home.

However, just after he walked a few steps out, he met Tian Fang, who was also walking towards the fields after dinner.

Tian Fang actually looks okay, not pretty but not ugly either. She has a very common face, the kind that if you throw her into a crowd of people you would hardly be able to find her in a few minutes.

Xu Yan looked at her for a few seconds, then looked away and continued walking with the backpack on his back.

"Little Xu Zhiqing!"

Unexpectedly, when she was about to pass by Tian Fang, Tian Fang suddenly called her.

Xu Yan stopped.

Tian Fang was a little hesitant. She didn't know why she called out to Xu Yan on impulse just now. Now that her eyes met Xu Yan's, she didn't know what to say.

The sun is still very strong at noon. Even though it is the beginning of autumn, I still feel dizzy after being in the sun for a while.

Xu Yan frowned.

Tian Fang kept her head down and murmured without saying a word.

"What's the matter?" Xu Yan asked, trying his best to suppress his impatient tone.

"what……"

It was obviously Tian Fang who called out to Xu Yan first, but at this moment she was frightened as if she was suddenly called out by Xu Yan, and she trembled with fear.

Xu Yan frowned even more tightly, and just when she was about to leave, Tian Fang finally spoke, her voice very low.

But even though he couldn't hear what she was saying at all after half a meter, Xu Yan still heard her words clearly.

"What did you say?"

Xu Yan's frown relaxed and slightly raised his brows. His tone seemed to contain a smile, but also an imperceptible coldness.

The wind blows.

Tian Fang looked away at the field, brushed away the hair that had blown onto her cheek, and spoke again as if she had mustered up her courage: "It's too hard for one person to earn a living to support a family. If you could go down to the field and help him... it would be easier."

Xu Yan didn't say anything, but stared at the person in front of him with half-closed eyes.

"The autumn harvest is the most tiring, and the other educated youths from your educated youth camp have also arrived."

Afraid that Xu Yan didn't see it, Tian Fang specifically stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of Zhou Jingjing and the others. Xu Yan didn't turn his head to look, but still stared at Tian Fang quietly.

"I know you don't like what I said," Tian Fang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Xu Yan, so she stopped talking and changed the subject.

But Xu Yan had no intention of continuing what she said, and instead started to attack her.

"If you know I don't like to hear it, then don't say it." Xu Yan's eyes were very dark, like translucent glass beads. When he stared at people coldly, there was always a feeling that all the little thoughts could be exposed.

Tian Fang pursed her lips.

"I feel the autumn harvest is going well," Xu Yan tilted his head and glanced at some people who had finished their meal and were working in the fields.

Tian Fang's expression changed and she subconsciously wanted to refute.

That’s because you’ve never participated in the autumn harvest!

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu Yan's next light words.

"You have the time and energy to feel sorry for other people's men. I guess it's not as exaggerated as you say," Xu Yan said.

Tian Fang's expression suddenly turned ugly.

All those emotions and thoughts just now seemed to be suddenly turned out and exposed to the sun.

Bright and clear.

She could feel her whole body trembling. She wanted to refute Xu Yan's words, but... she didn't know how to say it.

Finally, he could only squeeze out one sentence, "You, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh, I'm talking nonsense." Xu Yan chuckled, his eyes becoming even colder. "Then don't feel guilty. Of course, I've memorized the anthology. The great men taught us to be united and help each other, but..."

When she said the first half of the sentence, Tian Fang felt a little relieved. Before she could catch her breath, she heard Xu Yan add "but".

Her heart suddenly began to lift again.

"My man, don't bother others to worry about him," Xu Yan smiled, and the tone of the last sentence was quite long, "Even if he is treated like a donkey by me, he is willing."

After saying that, he straightened his straw hat and clothes and left without looking back.

Tian Fang's face turned pale, and she didn't come back to her senses until Song Guangming yelled at her.

"What are you doing?" Song Guangming said with a gloomy face, "Everyone else has gone to the fields, but you are still hesitating there. Hurry up and get out of the fields."

Tian Fang hurriedly walked towards the field. When she reached the edge of the field to get the sack, she couldn't help but glance at Xu Yan.

The sunlight was dazzling, so Xu Yan walked in the light.

Clean and beautiful.

It was as if she was a fairy from the sky. The wind blew up her clothes, and the willow branch in her hand, which she had picked from somewhere, swayed back and forth.

Tian Fang suddenly remembered the day when Xie Zhuo made a wreath and put it on her head...

"Hey, third brother," Liu Mancang moved closer to Xie Zhuo again.

"Go away," Xie Zhuo replied succinctly.

"Don't worry, Third Brother," Liu Mancang said with a playful smile, "I just ate a few bites of your food."

Xie Zhuo ignored him and moved his hands quickly.

"You know what, it's good to have a wife," Liu Mancang did not hesitate to follow Xie Zhuo's pace, "I see you and your sister-in-law being so sweet together every day, I'm a little envious."

Hearing him mention Xu Yan, Xie Zhuo finally gave him some attention.

"Then you can be envious," Xie Zhuo pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed, "There is only one sister-in-law like you in the whole world."

Liu Mancang immediately let out a sigh.

He subconsciously wanted to boo Xie Zhuo with the people around him, but when he turned around, he was met with Tian Fang's strange expression.

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Mancang asked.
