Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

A few days later, He Xi suddenly informed Lu Jinan that she would be busy for a while and would not go home on weekends.

He accepted it at first, but as He Xi became busier and busier, his work became more and more tiring, and he began to feel dissatisfied. No one cared when he was tired, and no one cared when he was injured. He was fed up with this kind of life.

Traditional spring ploughing basically involves digging up stubble, clearing the land, pulling the plow, sowing seeds, applying fertilizers, etc.

The stubble-pulling caused blisters on Lu Jinan's delicate hands, making it inconvenient for him to work and lead a normal life. He was a technician and it would be inconvenient for him to take the lead in not going to work if he got hurt. The traditional plow was basically pulled by hand, and oxen and horses were rare.

The educated youth who went to the countryside had their own separate farmland, and they were responsible for their own profits and losses, harvesting and eating as much as they could.

The female educated youth looked capable but were not good at work. One after another, they were dressed neatly but none of them could work. Lu Jinan, as a technician and the highest-ranking official among them, made a prompt decision to divide the land belonging to the educated youth into small pieces, allowing each person to cultivate their own piece of land or form their own team.

The female educated youth who had originally held out hope were dumbfounded in an instant. Without the help of the male educated youth, they would know nothing and might not even have food to eat this fall and winter. They firmly disagreed.

Li Zhi said in a pinched voice: "Technician Lu, your decision is unfair to us female comrades. We are weak and naturally cannot work as well as you male comrades."

As soon as she spoke, Lu Jinan frowned and pointed out her thoughts directly: "If you don't want to work, it's because you are a lesbian and you are not strong enough. So, you eat less and naturally don't have to work more. It's more cost-effective for you to separate."

"The land is about the same, each person has one piece. You can form a team freely and start working."

The most painful thing is pulling the plow. One person holds the plow while the other pulls it. The two hemp ropes are the force points. Basically, the plow is carried on the shoulders to pull the plow. The hemp ropes are very hot, and it is normal for the shoulders to be rubbed and the skin to be broken and bleeding.

The injured shoulder was burning with pain, and Lu Jinan felt uncomfortable too. He Xi didn't even give her any psychological comfort. Do you want work over family?

Since she can't go home, he can always meet her in town, right?

Not really.

The town called a meeting for technicians, and Lu Jinan thought he would at least be able to meet him, but He Xi was busy, and the two missed the meeting perfectly.

I've been in meetings a lot recently, and the two of them missed each other many times and never got to meet.

Lu Jinan even received a letter from Beijing. The sender was his brother in the black market. There was money and a thank-you letter in the letter, thanking He Xi for taking care of his brothers' business from afar despite her busy schedule. He became more and more jealous because she ignored him.

The place where Lu Jinan "caught" He Xi was the black market in town, where she was doing business with Wang Qiang.

As the weather gets warmer, more things can be traded. The styles of Huili shoes are too monotonous, so He Xi has prepared several pairs of canvas shoes that are in line with the trend and popular with girls, and is negotiating the price.

Lu Jinan was the last to appear. His appearance did not alarm the people who were trading. He folded his arms around his chest and leaned on the trunk of the willow tree that two people were hugging, looking at them coldly.

Wang Qiang was the first to discover the person under the tree. He stared at the person under the tree vigilantly with his sharp eyes. After noticing Wang Qiang's expression, He Xi turned around and looked behind him. There was a person under a big tree in the distance. That person was Lu Jinan, who had not been seen for many days.

After discovering that it was him, He Xi waved enthusiastically to the person under the tree with joy of reunion on her face, but unfortunately the person under the tree had no body language.

Not only did he not show any body language, Lu Jinan even ignored her and turned his back to He Xi.

He Xi understood that this was anger.

Wang Qiang raised his eyebrows: "Who is it? Why is it so prominent?"

"Lu Jinan, fiancé."

"Hey, he dares to ignore you? He lets go of a pretty girl like you one second and you're snatched away the next. Only he dares to do that."

He Xi put away the expression on her face and urged, "Hurry up, six dollars a pair, no bargaining, where else can you find such good shoes as mine? Don't let me buy them from others."

"Hey, no, no, no, I want them all." Wang Qiang pulled He Xi's arm.

There was actually nothing wrong with watching their actions, but it still made Lu Jinan feel annoyed. His eyes instantly turned cold, and there was a bad emotion in his narrow eyes.

It was finally done and she could rest for a while.

He Xi ran to Lu Jinan and tried to pull him. Lu Jinan took a step back. She took a step forward, and he took a step back, looking at her with his eyes lowered.

He Xi knew he was angry, so she tried to comfort him, so she pulled his sleeve. He hid behind her. He Xi had no choice but to go forward and hug his thin waist: "Still hiding? If you hide again, I'm leaving."

Lu Jinan took advantage of his height and looked down at He Xi, whom he hadn't seen for many days, and said, "Oh, you still know there is someone like me?"

He Xi greedily sniffed the refreshing scent on his body, buried her head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't be like this, I'm also very busy. I originally thought that I would go home and reunite with you after completing this business, but you ended up being so sarcastic."

Lu Jinan kept his arms hidden behind his back, and said in a cold tone: "Yeah, you must not like me being so cold, why don't we break up."

Hearing this, He Xi raised her head and looked at his stern face and his "domineering" temper, and shook her head: "No, I like you no matter what you are."

Lu Jinan's mood changed accordingly. His narrow eyes were filled with a smile, and he put his arms around He Xi's slender waist.

"This is what you said, remember your promise." Lu Jinan's voice came from above her head, full of oppression. He always treated He Xi gently, making her forget that he was a domineering president!

He Xi nodded, and then her chin was lifted up by Lu Jinan. He leaned over, sealed her lips, and kissed her hard. He didn't want to hear anything she said anymore, as he felt that they were all lies.

Lu Jinan's low voice was in his ear: "He Xi, I'm jealous. I'm jealous of your job and your business. They can possess you but I can't."

He Xi blushed and leaned into her arms: "Next time I will definitely adjust the balance between work and you."

Lu Jinan vented his inner jealousy through a gentle kiss, from the red lips to the neck, slowly grinding until he calmed down.

There were footsteps not far away. Lu Jinan picked up the jacket on the bicycle and put it over He Xi's head, then drove her away.

He Xi, who was under her clothes, blushed and her fingers trembled slightly. She grabbed his shirt and said softly, "Where are we going?"

Lu Jinan's Adam's apple rolled, his feet moved quickly, and he didn't stop for a moment: "Go home."

His indifferent tone made He Xi feel a little aggrieved, and she tugged at his shirt: "Pay attention to your attitude. You are not even a member of your family, but you have this attitude."

Lu Jinan parked the car, lifted up his clothes, pinched He Xi's chin, and said coldly: "If you keep talking, you will have to rest comfortably at home for three days."

The warmth on He Xi's face that had just faded away came back again, and her ears were also hot. She was a little bit expectant.
