What a rare sight to see him here today!

"Dashan, what are you doing here? Are you going back to the village today? Or where are you going?"

Although Chenjia Village has now been renamed Chenjia Village Brigade, the villagers still refer to the brigade as "village" because they are used to it.

Da Shan, also known as Chen Qishan, is Chen Qifa's younger brother of the same generation. Chen Qifa is ten years older than Chen Qishan.

Chen Qishan said with a look of disgust, "Second brother, I asked you first, why are you asking me too?"

"You can ask me, but I can't ask you? I was just too surprised to see you, wasn't I?"

Even so, Chen Qifa still circled back to the previous topic: "A while ago, the commune secretary notified all the brigade leaders that there were educated youths from the city going to the countryside, and asked us brigade leaders to go to the commune to wait and see which brigade we could be assigned to. Hey! Isn't that a coincidence? We were really lucky. I argued my case and managed to bring the college student educated youths to our Chenjia Village!"

Chen Qishan was filled with suspicion. Their village's luck? Well, it was unbelievable.

Chen Qishan began to have doubts. He looked curiously at the little black girl who was half-lying on the oxcart.

In the sweltering summer heat, she wore thick trousers and long sleeves, had two long, dark braids, and round, bright eyes like black grapes.

Hmm... her face was a bit dark, but her features were quite delicate. You couldn't really tell her figure, but her little feet that were sticking out were quite petite.

After the captain stopped the car, Lin Yueyao looked behind him, following his movement.

He was a man about 1.8 meters tall, riding a bicycle.

He stood tall and straight, like a poplar tree. Even though he was 1.8 meters tall and wearing a faded blue cloth shirt, he could not hide the bulging muscle lines on his shoulders and back.

His bronze face bore the marks of years of sun exposure, his features were strong, and when he looked over, well, Yueyao couldn't discern any particular expression in his eyes, only that they seemed quite calm.

Yueyao was lost in thought when she heard a man's voice: "Hello, educated youth. I am Chen Qishan, a member of the Chenjia Village brigade. What is your name, comrade?"

Chen Qishan felt that since they had run into each other, they should say hello, otherwise they wouldn't know how to address each other in the future.

Yueyao listened to his calm and composed tone, his expression serene, yet his eyes held a profound tranquility, like a bottomless ancient well, undisturbed by any ripples.

Yueyao nodded to him, wondering if they were brothers since his name was the same as the captain's.

So, in order to build a good relationship, Yueyao didn't pretend to be aloof like a city dweller.

After all, it's always good to have someone you know when you come to a place where you don't know anyone. If you really run into trouble in the future, you'll have a reason to ask them for help.

"Hello comrade, my name is Lin Yueyao, I'm 19 years old, and I'm a newly assigned educated youth. If I do anything wrong in the team, I'll have to trouble the brigade leader and comrades to take care of me!"

Hearing the sweet voice that didn't match his appearance, Chen Qishan couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that he was just used to the loud voices of the women in the village, and that hearing this different tone made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Lin Yueyao's voice is very pleasant, delicate and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley! Her pronunciation is soft, her tone is steady, and her voice often has a slight upward inflection, giving people a gentle and graceful feeling.

The captain didn't think too much about it, but he was indeed quite happy.

Although he had heard Lin Zhiqing say this before, he was still quite happy to hear it again. After all, this Comrade Lin looked well-behaved and sensible, unlike those delicate and weak city people.

Although their village is a bit far from the county seat, the brigade leader would occasionally go to the county seat for meetings, so he still knew a bit about the women there.

As soon as those people found out they were from the countryside, they immediately kept their distance, as if they had some strange smell on them that rural people couldn't detect.

What do city people eat and use? Isn't everything grown by us rural people? What's there to complain about?

What's the point of pretending all day long and dressing so neatly?

Their hearts are so black, much blacker than the skin of those rural people.

Moreover, some city dwellers are even more calculating than rural people. They can argue for ages about being short an ounce or two when buying vegetables. It's truly shameful.

Chen Qishan didn't have as many thoughts as the brigade leader; he simply spoke the truth, "I'm not often in the village, so you won't be able to find me if anything happens. But our brigade leader is a very honest and responsible person. If you really don't understand anything, you can ask him."

The brigade leader chimed in, "Yes, I'm the production brigade leader of Chenjia Village, so you can ask me anything you don't understand. But you're a college student now, so you probably don't need to ask me anything, right?"

Lin Yueyao forced a smile and gave the two of them a "...Hehe".

Lin Yueyao had heard countless introductions about her identity as a college student on her way from Shanghai to the Southern Province, and she was now somewhat immune to such claims.

College students are not omnipotent; in fact, they may even become a limitation for her.

After all, in the eyes of many people nowadays, college students are truly precious.

Lin Yueyao scratched her head and smiled awkwardly.

Chen Qishan, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed Lin Zhiqing's discomfort and quickly made up a laugh.

Changing the subject, he said, "Second Brother, it's the busy season for farming. What has everyone been busy with lately? Lin Zhiqing has just arrived here, and she'll definitely be unaccustomed to working in the fields. You should talk to her about it beforehand."

You know what, the captain was immediately drawn to Chen Qishan's words.

"There are so many kinds of jobs that work in the fields."

The brigade leader thought to himself that since Lin Zhiqing would be living in their village for a long time, he should give her a general overview of the situation first.

So, in a few words, he summarized: "Right now, the main task is to take care of the rice seedlings in the fields, weed and remove pests, and fertilize. Things are still good now, but once the busy farming season starts, that educated youth Lin will have a lot of trouble..."

As the brigade leader spoke, he drove the oxcart forward.

Yueyao sat up straight on the cart and listened attentively as the brigade leader explained various tips for doing farm work.

She also wanted to know what the members did every day, what the women were supposed to do, what the men were supposed to do, what the children were supposed to do, and so on.

As for Chen Qishan standing next to them, both of them ignored him.

Chen Qishan didn't disturb the two, but occasionally glanced at the actions of the educated youth, Lin.

The setting sun cast long shadows of the three people and the ox.

The fiery clouds in the west burned ever brighter, turning the winding dirt road into a flowing ribbon.

The three shadows stretched far away in the setting sun, swaying and meandering along the bumpy ruts towards the road back to the village.
