country bumpkin

Golden leaves herald the arrival of autumn, while the scorching heat of late summer lingers like the tail end of summer.

At the construction site of the new garment factory, the workers are working diligently and conscientiously.

The new factory is mostly completed. Everyone is working overtime day and night to meet the deadline, without a single day off.

Li Dalong was busy wielding his trowel, sweat dripping down his face and onto the newly laid bricks.

He didn't bother wiping it off; his eyes were fixed on the wall, and he skillfully spread cement with the trowel in his hand.

The young apprentice, Xiao Zhang, leaned over and asked, "Brother Long, working like this every day must be exhausting, right?"

Li Dalong grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "What's so tiring about it? The sooner this new factory is completed, the more I'll be credited. Besides, my family is counting on my wages."

At this moment, the foreman, Xiao Song, came over and shouted, "Brother Da Long, this wall needs to be built solidly. It's a crucial supporting part of the factory building."

Li Dalong replied, "Don't worry, Supervisor Song, I know what I'm doing."

Suddenly, Li Dalong heard shouts. It turned out that the truck delivering materials had gotten stuck in the mud next to the construction site.

Li Dalong put down his trowel and called over a few fellow workers to help push the cart.

Everyone worked together, chanting slogans.

"One two, one two..."

The truck finally slowly drove out of the mud pit.

Li Dalong patted the mud off his body, picked up the trowel again, and headed back to his unfinished project.

It was lunchtime soon, and the construction site cook came with a tricycle to serve the workers their meals.

While we were eating, several young women from a clothing factory slowly walked over from a distance.

They walked over and looked around as if they were looking for something.

A middle-aged man asked, "Young lady, who are you looking for?"

One of the pretty young girls asked shyly, "Are your supervisors here today?"

Two groups of young girls were also looking over here, seemingly asking where the supervisor was.

The middle-aged man chuckled and gestured in the direction where Xiao Song was, "Look, it's over there."

The girls' eyes lit up immediately, and they pushed and shoved each other as they walked toward Xiao Song.

Xiao Song was a little surprised to see several girls coming over.

One of the girls, with pigtails, mustered up her courage and said, "Supervisor Song, we are the ones in charge of logistics support in the factory. We thought that it was hot and everyone was working hard, so we knitted some handkerchiefs to wipe everyone's sweat."

After saying that, she blushed and handed over a pack of handkerchiefs.

Xiao Song smiled and accepted it, "Oh, thank you so much, you've thought of everything."

Li Dalong, who was standing nearby, joked, "I was wondering why the magpies had been chirping all day. Turns out it's something good."

The surrounding workers burst into laughter.

Xiao Song scratched his head and said to the girls, "You've put in a lot of effort. I'll talk to the factory manager later and give you credit."

The girls waved their hands repeatedly, saying it was just a small token of their appreciation.

At this moment, another short-haired girl took out a water bottle and handed it to Xiao Song.

"Supervisor Song, this is the herbal tea we brewed; it's good for cooling down and relieving summer heat."

After receiving the drinks, Xiao Song distributed them to the workers, and the construction site was filled with laughter. The fatigue from their work seemed to lessen considerably, and after the meal, they were full of energy and threw themselves into their afternoon work.

The girls went back to work after delivering the items.

Li Dalong looked at Supervisor Song with a grin and teased, "Supervisor Song, why do you think they're being so polite to us?"

Xiao Song shook her head. "Maybe they are kind-hearted."

Li Dalong, seeing through the situation but not saying anything, said, "Maybe! But you'd better be careful not to get involved in anything unclear, or it will be troublesome."

Xiao Song nodded to indicate that he understood.

Among the little girls who came to give gifts were Wang Huihui and Qi Feifei. There was also the whiny Bai Linlin.

Several young girls come to see the handsome guy whenever they have time. They've come several times in a row and have already gotten to know Xiao Song.

However, they were all just nodding acquaintances and didn't seem very familiar with each other.

They planned to befriend him first, and then develop the relationship further. The girls had already agreed to compete fairly among themselves.

Whoever is confident they can win him over has real skill; everyone else will simply give up.

A few days later, the factory organized a cultural event. Xiao Song, as the supervisor, was also invited to participate.

Upon hearing this, the girls who admired Xiao Song meticulously prepared their performances. On the day of the event, the stage was decorated in a vibrant and festive style.

When Xiao Song entered, he noticed that the girls were all dressed up in their finest attire. First, Wang Huihui went on stage to sing, her voice melodious and beautiful, and Xiao Song couldn't help but applaud.

Then Qi Feifei performed a dance, her movements light and graceful. Xiao Song was captivated by the spectacle.

Finally, it was Bai Linlin's turn. She recited a love poem, her eyes occasionally glancing at Xiao Song.

Xiao Song had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Actually, this cultural event was a social gathering for the factory. Its main purpose was to address the issue of single men and women in the factory.

The long-time employees in the factory all knew this, but Xiao Song, being a non-factory employee, naturally didn't know any of it.

It was these girls who begged Director Xu to invite him to watch the performance; they had confessed their feelings to him.

Director Xu expressed his support for their pursuit of happiness...

After the event, Xiao Song was tidying up her things backstage.

Suddenly, three girls appeared in front of him at the same time. The three girls exchanged glances and decided to confront each other.

Wang Huihui blushed and said, "Supervisor Song, actually we've liked you for a long time."

Xiao Song was stunned. He was somewhat at a loss.

Qi Feifei continued, "We know we need to compete fairly, so today we want you to make a choice."

Xiao Song scratched his head awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.

Just then, the factory manager passed by, saw the scene, and smiled to defuse the situation: "Little Song, you're quite the charmer. But you can't let your love life affect your work."

Xiao Song quickly nodded in agreement. Seeing this, the three girls wisely dispersed, leaving Xiao Song standing there with a blank expression.

Kong Xiufang did not participate in the event; she had menstrual cramps and asked for leave early to go back to her dormitory.

So we didn't get to see this spectacular show.

When it was time to leave work, all the girls returned to their dormitory and began discussing this Supervisor Song.

Kong Xiufang lay on the bed resting, listening to the chattering girls talking non-stop.

She asked curiously, "What are you guys talking about? I heard last time that you often go to see handsome guys, is that true?"

The whiny Bai Linlin nodded in surprise and ran over, saying, "Yes, yes, Sister Xiufang, you don't know, that Supervisor Song looks just like the celebrity Mao Runfa, he's super handsome."

Kong Xiufang smiled and said, "Oh, really? So all three of you like him, what are you going to do?"

Bai Linlin smiled and said, "Hehe... We've decided to work together. Whoever catches him will automatically let go."

Kong Xiufang opened her mouth wide. "What else could it be?"

She became even more curious about this Supervisor Song; what kind of man could attract so many girls?

It seems very mysterious!
