Films from this era, with their distinct characteristics of the time, captivated audiences.

Even Xie Xixing watched it intently, and even after the movie ended, he was still reluctant to leave.

Long after it ended, people started moving around on the drying ground, but they moved very slowly.

As she got up and moved the stool she was sitting on, she discussed the plot of the movie she had just watched with the person next to her.

Some are indignant, some are drawn to it; everyone has their own focus and perspective on the same movie, and it's inevitable that some arguments will arise with those around them during discussions.

Some were stubborn, even arguing until they were red in the face.

Xie Qingyu followed Xie Xixing outside, but fell behind after only a few steps.

Xie Xixing glanced back and reached out to Xie Qingyu, "Give me the stool."

Without the stool, Xie Qingyu could walk more freely without worrying about the stool legs bumping into others.

However, I've been bumped by other people's chair legs quite a few times.

Some people were walking out of the drying yard, while others were squeezing in, especially those from villages far away who planned to spend the night there and go back the next day. They would walk in to find a good spot.

There were also children running around inside, making a complete mess.

Xie Qingyu's brows furrowed involuntarily; such a chaotic and crowded scene always made people feel irritable.

At this moment, even a few young people from other villages squeezed around Xie Qingyu, trying to strike up a conversation.

However, when she got closer and saw Xie Qingyu's expression, she didn't dare to speak.

However, there are always some blind fools who, seeing that the Xie family members were not around, tried to take advantage of the chaos.

He Shen walked behind Xie Qingyu carrying a small stool. When he noticed that the person on his left was tilting slightly, he immediately reached out and patted her with the stool.

"Sorry to bump into you. Be careful not to fall where you shouldn't." He Shen's words were polite enough, but his voice was icy.

Xie Qingyu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a scruffy, bald man on her left.

I understood his intention instantly.

"Don't throw it this way!" Xie Qingyu's tone carried a hint of warning and disgust.

That scoundrel only dared to sneak around and take advantage of the situation; he didn't dare to confront Xie Qingyu directly.

Even though they weren't from the same village, everyone knew how much Xie Qingyu cherished her.

Sometimes, even saying a few lewd things about her behind her back would get you a beating with a sack over your head.

He happened to see that no Xie family members were around, and Xie Qingyu was really beautiful. If he could touch her, he could brag about it for a long time when he got back, so he got the idea.

Seeing He Shen's chilling gaze, he shivered in the sweltering summer heat and didn't dare to speak, nor did he dare to linger near Xie Qingyu any longer.

He Shen looked at the crowd, his right hand protecting Xie Qingyu's side until they reached a more relaxed area, at which point he withdrew his hand.

Just then, Xie Xixing arrived.

Seeing that Xie Qingyu had come out, I felt relieved.

"Let's go, Father, Mother, and my eldest brother have already taken the stools and left."

It was hard to find people after the event ended. Xie Xixing only managed to find his older brother and his wife; he didn't see his parents either.

"Let's go together," Xie Xixing said.

There were obviously more people on the way back than during the day. Although the moonlight was bright, you still couldn't see people's faces clearly from a distance.

After all, it's nighttime, unlike daytime; people usually gather together and walk with the people around them.

Xie Qingyu felt quite safe walking between He Shen and Xie Xixing.

Xie Xixing, however, kept talking to He Shen.

Both of them were tall, and Xie Qingyu had originally wanted to move to the side to make it easier for them to communicate, but then she realized that she was in the middle and did not hinder them at all.

Perhaps worried that Xie Qingyu would be bored, Xie Xixing paused midway through his conversation and gave Xie Qingyu a piece of candy. Judging from the packaging, it wasn't one of the two types sold at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Xie Xixing's actions were natural. After giving her the candy, he reached out and touched Xie Qingyu's head, but Xie Qingyu pushed him away. He wasn't annoyed and continued talking to He Shen.

They talked non-stop the whole way until they reached the village entrance before parting ways.

"When did you and He Zhiqing become so close?" Xie Qingyu asked when Xie Xixing and she were alone.

“Once, when the agricultural machinery station was repairing tractors, I went over to take a look and saw him there. You don’t know, the station chief secretly asked He Shen to repair it. If I hadn’t gone there myself, I wouldn’t have known about this.”

At that time, tractors were very rare; their entire brigade, consisting of four villages, only had one tractor.

They are usually kept at the agricultural machinery station and only brought back during the busy farming season.

Xie Xixing was one of the few young people in the village who could drive a tractor.

"He can repair not only tractors, but also cars, so his family must be well-off," Xie Xixing commented.

Xie Qingyu basically knew the reason.

Xie Xixing may seem unreliable, but he is actually very capable with his hands and is interested in all sorts of new things, always wanting to figure them out.

Now that they know about He Shenhui's technology, they naturally won't miss the opportunity to make contact.

Of course, Xie Xixing and He Shen's good relationship couldn't have come solely from their social interactions.

However, Xie Xixing deliberately concealed the truth, and Xie Qingyu did not ask any further questions.

It's probably related to what we talked about last time.

It was already late at night when Xie Qingyu got home. She washed her face and went to sleep, and surprisingly slept longer the next day.

When she woke up, Wang Guifen was in the yard. Seeing her get up, she went to the kitchen.

“Your third brother just went out. He was saying that if you didn’t wake up soon, he would go and wake you up, otherwise it would be too late to get to the city.” Wang Guifen said as she served Xie Qingyu some food.

Xie Qingyu hadn't finished eating when Xie Xixing returned. Seeing that Xie Qingyu was still eating, he found a cloth and carefully wiped the bicycle.

He only stopped after Xie Qingyu finished eating, and the car was polished to a shine.

Then, a soft pad specially prepared for Xie Qingyu was tied on.

"Let's go."

The two went out, and Xie Xixing drove Xie Qingyu all the way to the village entrance before stopping the car. "Wait for He Shen."

It's around eight o'clock now, and thankfully it's cloudy, so it's not too hot.

After waiting for a while, He Shen arrived on his bicycle.

When Xie Xixing saw him coming, he told Xie Qingyu to sit properly before starting to leave.

He Shen caught up quickly.

He Shen changed into casual clothes today, revealing half of his fair arm, where the veins were clearly visible.

His slender hands gripped the handlebars with a casual air.

It has to be said that He Shen's appearance is rare even in the entertainment industry today.

Although she is very fair-skinned, she definitely doesn't come across as effeminate.

Xie Qingyu secretly stretched out her hand and compared the skin tone of He Shen's arm with his, and surprisingly felt that they were about the same.

He Shen has been sunbathing ever since he went to the countryside.

Is it because I can't get a tan?
