Marry a rough man in exchange for marriage, cannon fodder educated youth go to the countryside to wi

The old woman was stunned when she heard Xu Yan's words.

Then Xu Yan continued, "The little fortune Xie Zhuo gave me is really useless. I calculated last night that there are many things needed for marriage."

Xu Yan looked at the old woman in front of him and counted for her seriously on his fingers.

"Like a new kettle, a Double Happiness enamel washbasin, a mirror, a drinking mug, and, yes, an electric fan."

"Although our brigade hasn't got electricity yet, it's only a matter of time. I heard that several nearby production brigades have already got electricity, so our brigade will probably be there soon."

Xu Yan has only been here for three days, so he definitely has nowhere to go.

But she had read the books.

So we know that in a few months, Qingshan Brigade will have access to electricity.

She just kept talking nonsense here, and the old woman's face became darker the more she listened.

"These are all our relatives. Why don't you help out when Third Xie gets married?"

Xu Yan asked sincerely.

When the old woman heard that the educated youth actually wanted to blackmail her, she immediately retorted.

"We are not from the Xie family!"

Liu Mancang beside him sneered, "Are you worthy enough?"

The old woman immediately glared at Liu Mancang, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Xie Zhuo walking towards them from the field, and then she ran away on her bound feet.

Xie Zhuo took big steps and it seemed like he reached Xu Yan's side in just three or two steps.

He frowned and glanced at the back of the old woman who had already run away, then looked at Xu Yan.

"Are you okay?" Xie Zhuo asked.

"No," Xu Yan raised her hand and pushed up the brim of her straw hat, and Xie Zhuo saw her half-closed smiling eyes.

Xie Zhuo looked at her for a few seconds, then looked away uncomfortably, "Yeah."

Unexpectedly, Xu Yan did not let him go.

Xu Yan raised his hand and pointed at the shiny light bulb beside him - Liu Mancang's face, "He is the one who stole the wild vegetables from your mouth?"

Liu Mancang: “?”

Sister-in-law, you must have pointed at the wrong person!

He used the handle of the shovel in his hand to push Xu Yan's finger to the side, asking her to point it at Mrs. Xie who had just run away.

Xie Zhuo: “…”

I'm speechless. I didn't expect that someone would actually come to steal wild vegetables.

Xie Zhuo didn't say anything for a long time.

Just when Xu Yan was about to say something, he heard him say that he would tell her in detail when he had time, and then he returned the same way without looking back.

Xu Yan: “…”

People who were craning their necks to watch the fun thought that Xie Chunmei was persuaded to leave by Xu Yan with just a few words, and they looked at Xu Yan differently.

"This little Xu Zhiqing looked soft before, but I didn't expect him to be so sharp-tongued."

A sister-in-law whispered to the people around her.

"Even rabbits bite when they are cornered," Li Aihua snorted, and glared at Xie Chunmei who had just run away on her bound feet.

She looked down on Xie Chunmei.

When Xie Zhuo's parents were still alive, she came very frequently and often brought things from Xie's house to her husband's house.

She came to borrow when she ran out of food, vinegar, and salt. Even when her daughter had no good clothes to wear when she went to see a date, she came to borrow.

Xie Zhuo's grandmother gave birth to six children in her lifetime, but due to poor harvests, they were unable to keep them all. In the end, only Xie Zhuo's father and his aunt Xie Chunmei were left.

His father is pretty good to his aunt and tries to help her as much as he can.

But unexpectedly, on the night when the old couple of the Xie family passed away, Xie Chunmei said she came to help with the funeral arrangements, but she searched the house where Xie Zhuo's parents lived from top to bottom. In the end, she did not find any money, so she set her sights on a silver bracelet worn by Xie Zhuo's mother.

When Xie Zhuo entered the room, she was squatting beside her mother's pillow and wiping her bracelet.

Xie Zhuo was so angry that he almost pushed her into the coffin next to him on the spot.

The feud between the two families was settled.

In the past two years, not to mention saying hello when meeting someone, beating someone up is real.

Xie Zhuo once broke the legs of Xie Chunmei's son.

From then on, even when Xie Chunmei and her husband's family came to work in the fields near Qingshan Brigade, they would avoid Xie Zhuo.

Other people don’t know much about these things, but Li Aihua and the Xie family live next door to each other, so she knows more details about these dirty things than others.

"I used to think that this young educated youth Xu was a mute, but I didn't expect he had such a personality," said another person.

"I've known for a long time that she's not a good person. You didn't see how she took the money from Xie Lao San yesterday. She held so much money in her hand without blushing or getting out of breath."

"Why is she panting? With her family's financial situation, I think Third Brother Xie is taking advantage."

"Of course, just like the Xie family..."

The topic kept revolving around Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo.

Xu Yan sat on Xie Zhuo's straw bag and listened inattentively, with his brows lowered and no one knew what he was thinking.

Liu Mancang ran to Xie Zhuo again and came back with a kettle in a few minutes.

Only then did Xu Yan raise his head and look at him.

"San," Liu Mancang was about to call out the name, but because the people around him were secretly listening, he didn't say it out loud. He coughed dryly and said, "Xiao Xu Zhiqing, San Ge told you to go back first. He will take care of that piece of land."

He added the following sentence himself.

As soon as Liu Mancang finished saying this, Xu Yan felt that the gazes on him became more intense.

Especially the female educated youth in the educated youth sites.

It’s hard to tell whether everyone is envious or sarcastic.

They envied Xu Yan for not having to work, and also laughed at her for being about to marry a country bumpkin.

It's complicated anyway.

Xu Yan didn't have time to pay attention to them. He even just glanced at their faces briefly, then looked away at the only figure in the field.

The ground stalks were quite high, and even though I was 1.86 meters tall, most of the view was blocked when I squatted down.

When the team leader shouted again for people to go to the fields, a group of people reluctantly walked from the shade to the sun.

Only Xu Yan was still sitting firmly on the sack, with no intention of moving.

Zhou Jingjing glared at her and left angrily.

"I'm so angry, so angry, what kind of shit luck has she had recently," Zhou Jingjing complained to the person next to her, "That Xie Zhuo is really blind. There are so many girls in Qingshan Brigade, but he fell in love with Xu Yan."

Qin Li next to her didn't say anything, wondering what she was thinking.

Liang Qian on the other side gnashed her teeth and said, "A turtle and a mung bean, one is a star of destiny, and the other is a shameless and vicious bitch. I'm waiting for them to regret it."

Wang Wenwen didn't say a word. She went to the field and continued weeding.

In just twenty minutes of rest, Xie Zhuo seemed to have grown four or five hands and had surpassed them by half a head.

Now Ye Wei is the only one left at the bottom.

The captain came over to urge her again, and seeing that her hands were indeed much faster than before, he went to look at others.

Soon, it was twelve o'clock in the afternoon and everyone had started to carry out the straw bags and prepare to go home.

We don’t have to carry the sacks back ourselves today. The team leader has harnessed a bullock cart and a few other people are pushing a cart.

Xie Zhuo quickly pressed the grass that Xu Yan had piled on the ground into the sack, then pulled out a few long reeds and rubbed them a few times. He used his nimble fingers to poke a few small holes in the sack and passed the grass through. Then he pulled the sack back and forth and tied it, and the mouth of the sack was secured.

I don't know when Xu Yan ran over, and was following his hand moving back and forth with his eyes downcast.

Only after Xie Zhuo lifted the sack and put it on his shoulder did she hurriedly try to help.

"No need," Xie Zhuo said.

After he finished speaking, he saw her following closely beside him, with the corners of her eyes curved.

A bit well behaved.

This little educated youth.
