"Third Brother, you've gone too far!" Xie Qingyu said, pointing at Xie Xixing, after He Shen and Secretary Xie left for the brigade headquarters together.
“I didn’t do anything. He did it voluntarily. I’m doing this for your own good, so don’t worry.” Xie Xixing patted her head and quickly followed Secretary Xie away.
"Alright, your third brother knows what he's doing," Wang Guifang comforted him.
Although she secretly pinched Xie Xixing a few times when she saw the injury on He Shen's face, she had to admit that she was happy just because the third brother was on Xie Qingyu's side.
In the afternoon, the entire village gathered at the threshing ground to hear the announcements from the loudspeaker.
The autumn harvest is about to begin!
The villagers were quite excited because the brigade had two tractors this year.
Xiejia Village was allocated the right to use the tractor for the first day.
Using this to haul the harvested corn to the threshing floor saved a lot of effort.
The background noise of the tractor seemed to give people more energy to work.
The autumn harvest season is often the hottest time of year.
The scorching heat seemed to distort the air itself, and beads of sweat dripped from his temples onto the parched earth.
The wet towel on your head only provides temporary relief, but picking corn in the cornfield is the most grueling part. The exposed skin feels prickly all over when it comes into contact with the corn leaves.
But nobody cared about that at the time.
They had made thorough preparations before starting work.
But no one will slack off at this time; the autumn harvest is a race against nature.
The corn, now fully ripe, cannot withstand the onslaught of heavy rain.
It is often rainy during the autumn harvest season.
The old farmer, who had been farming for many years, tapped the sole of his shoe and said with a gloomy face, "Hurry up, the sun is blazing and it's hot; a storm is sure to come soon."
Xie Qingyu was also busy at this time.
She can't do fieldwork, but she can still do what she can.
He led a group of children to deliver water to each and every place.
During the autumn harvest, the weather is hot, so replenishing water is essential.
The supply of this must be provided.
Before they even started working, some of the village's strong laborers had already carried two large vats of well water to the field.
But when people get busy, they don't have time to go to the fields to drink water, so some children are responsible for carrying water back and forth.
Xie Qingyu was in charge of overall coordination, checking which plots of land had not yet been taken care of.
Fortunately, all the land in their village is at the foot of this mountain, so they don't have to travel back and forth.
The person driving the tractor here is Xie Xixing.
When Xie Qingyu brought him water, his lips were chapped.
He was driving under the scorching sun the whole time, and after parking, he had to load corn into the truck. He was so busy that he didn't have a moment to spare.
Xie Qingyu's water arrived at just the right time.
He Shen was also nearby, and Xie Qingyu treated him the same way, sending him a bowl of rice.
The Xie family is currently the only ones who know about the two of them, and they haven't publicized it.
Fortunately, such a gesture would not be perceived as intimate at this time.
He Shen had fair skin, and after he sweated, beads of sweat dripped down his face, making it inexplicably difficult to look at him, but Xie Qingyu did not look away.
Perhaps it was the obvious affection Xie Qingyu showed in her eyes that pleased He Shen, because his expression softened considerably. "It's hot here, go and wait in the shade over there."
The job of delivering water only pays half a work point, and it's mostly done by the younger children.
Xie Qingyu did everything she could without asking for work points; she was just helping out.
But they still had to stand in the sun, which made He Shen feel sorry for them.
"It's okay, I've been looking down the whole time." Xie Qingyu also had a damp towel on her face, which could both shield her from the sun and bring some coolness.
He Shen frowned slightly as he looked at Xie Qingyu's face, which was slightly red from the sun, peeking out from between the towels on both sides. "The water delivered this morning wasn't bad either. It's fine for you to go back and rest for a while."
"I understand." Xie Qingyu didn't seem to enjoy hardship.
It was only the first day of the autumn harvest, and she couldn't just do nothing.
Xie Qingyu delivered water to all the Xie family members before going home.
During the autumn harvest, meals were prepared in the morning and brought over.
Today is the first day of the autumn harvest. Wang Guifang personally cooked a lot of food this morning and took it to the fields to eat.
Although there was no meat directly in the dish, it was still stir-fried with pork and was very fragrant.
Xie Qingyu's meals were naturally left at home.
She ate at home, so she didn't know that Wang Guifang had invited He Shen to eat with her in the field.
In Wang Guifang's opinion, the food at the educated youth settlement was really bad, and He Shen was basically set to become her son-in-law, so she naturally couldn't bear to see him suffer.
This obviously attracted the attention of others.
After all, they hadn't heard that He, the educated youth, was eating at Secretary Xie's house.
Wang Guifang didn't care about any of that; she brought He Shen's things with her when she cooked breakfast that morning.
He Shen didn't say anything; he was flattered that Wang Guifang had asked him to come over.
Even if he had to face the open and subtle dislike from his three brothers-in-law, he was still happy to eat at the Xie family's house.
Meanwhile, the educated youth sitting together for a meal were also paying attention to He Shen's situation.
"Is He Zhiqing eating at the Xie family's house?" Ma Zhiqing asked with some envy.
They, as educated youth, could negotiate with villagers to share meals with others, as long as they received grain or grain coupons and money each month.
The food might be better than what the educated youth ate at the village camp, but it would be more expensive, and conflicts were likely to arise. After a few incidents, no educated youth ate at the villagers' homes anymore.
Liu Qingqing glanced in that direction but didn't say anything.
She had almost crushed her palms.
Ever since she had that dream, she has been gripped by panic.
A woman appears in his dream, but He Shen drifts further and further away from her.
The dream initially depicted her as He Shen's wife, but not long after she went to the countryside, this dream, which she had since her youth, changed. A woman interfered, causing her and He Shen to drift further and further apart.
She never knew who the blurry woman in her dream was until she fell into the water and vaguely saw Xie Qingyu on the shore – that was the figure.
So when she fell into the water, she subconsciously framed Xie Qingyu, hoping to make He Shen hate Xie Qingyu and stop contacting her.
But things don't seem to go as planned.
Liu Qingqing couldn't understand it; she hadn't had that dream in a long time.
They hadn't even confirmed whether the woman was Xie Qingyu.
Now, confirmation is no longer necessary.
Xie Qingyu was the only one among the educated youth present who knew about He Shen's impending marriage to Xie Qingyu, but she didn't want to talk about it.
Her gaze drifted back to He Shen, even though she was clearly He Shen's best choice.
They are very similar in both background and circumstances.
So what gives Xie Qingyu the right?
