The villagers were even more unaware of it.

When he appeared in the village, everyone thought they were seeing things. "Is that the guy riding a bicycle with Shu Yuya Jiandong?"

The aunt squinted her eyes and said, "It seems so."

During the autumn harvest, everyone is busy in the fields, but I'm not sure if the fragrance looks good from afar.

Gu Jiandong would call out to everyone he saw, "Third Aunt, Seventh Aunt, Uncle Zhuzi... they're all busy!"

When they heard his voice, everyone confirmed it was him, and one by one they shouted at the top of their lungs, "Jiandong is back, come to our house for dinner tonight."

Knowing that it was the autumn harvest, and that these days everything had to give way to production, Gu Jiandong put aside the matter of getting close to his partner. He didn't even go home to drink a sip of water, then rolled up his sleeves and went to work in the fields.

Shen Shuyu didn't feel unhappy at all about being ignored by her boyfriend. She liked Gu Jiandong for who he was.

Shen Erzhu was on the other side of the street, hearing the chatter of the old women on the roadside. He walked over with his hands behind his back and was surprised to see Gu Jiandong. "Hey, when did Jiandong come back? Why didn't you send any news?"

"Second Grandpa, I just got back."

Seeing him about to go to the fields, Shen Erzhu stopped him and said, "You just came back, go home and rest, there are plenty of people working in the fields."

The aunts also advised, "Yes, Jiandong, you should go home and take a rest. You are not needed here."

"That's right. I heard you must be exhausted from riding the train. Look at you, you've lost weight. Go back and rest for a while."

"You've become thinner and darker. Is it because you've been working too hard in the army? I have a few eggs at home. When I get off work later, I'll come home and cook some for you..."

"I have some bacon at my aunt's house. I'll fry it for you later."

Seeing the child back, everyone wanted to take out their good things. They looked at Gu Jiandong with pity in their eyes and felt that Gu Jiandong had worked hard in the army.

It is because of children like Jiandong that ordinary people like them can live a stable life.

How can they not feel pain for a child like this?

Shen Erzhu doesn't have such a thick filter. He doesn't think the boy has changed at all, but it's not that he hasn't changed. After returning to the army, he no longer has a buzz cut and looks more handsome.

"No need, Auntie. Shu Yu has gone home to cook for me."

The autumn harvest is a time of hard work, and they rely on eggs, bacon and other things to nourish their family. How could Gu Jiandong go to their house for dinner so casually?

While chatting with them, Gu Jiandong was breaking corn skillfully. He worked quickly and had broken several baskets in a short time.

Zhou Jingchen was in the cornfield next door, picking corn. He saw the peasants who used to look down on him now surrounding Gu Jiandong, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they wanted to give him all the food in their home and treat him like their own son. He really couldn't understand how he, Zhou Jingchen, was any worse than Gu Jiandong.

They were all educated youth sent to the countryside, and Gu Jiandong was still a fool at the time.

Zhou Jingchen couldn't stand it, so he pointed at Gu Jiandong and said to the team leader, "Team leader, they are lazy and laugh while working. They have no attitude towards work at all. If this continues, when will we be able to harvest all the corn in the field?"

The team leader was Shen Jiajun. He said angrily, "Mind your own business. You can't even earn five work points all day. The kids there earn more than you."

Their group's progress is far behind that of other groups, and it is because of him that such a huge difference is made. A grown man with strong hands and feet, he works more slowly than a kid. All the Shen family soldiers respect him.

He didn't do much work and was actually a drag on the team. Yet, Shen Xue always felt that her husband did all the work of the entire team by himself, and she kept asking for leave for her husband to rest.

Zhou Jingchen felt that the Shen family army was biased. Not only did he not say anything when the people in their team were lazy, but he came to scold him just when he had just taken a break and hadn't even had a sip of water.

Just wait and see, when he becomes the mayor, these peasants will have a hard time.

Gu Jiandong worked on picking corn until dark, and Bai Luobo was always circling around him in the cornfield. Occasionally, the corn they picked fell to the ground, but Bai Luobo still knew to put the corn into the basket.
