A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

Everyone thought that the female educated youth wasn't stupid; how could she possibly take some aphrodisiac for breeding sows on her own initiative?

Basically, it was the male educated youth surnamed Lu who fed the female educated youth surnamed Zhao.

Judging from Zhao's reaction, the amount was quite large.

At this point, everyone's discussion turned to sympathy for Zhao, the educated youth, and their opinion of Lu plummeted.

"And yet, the female educated youth still wanted to get a marriage certificate with the male educated youth, it's really..."

"But they are really smart. In this way, wouldn't that educated youth Lu be spared from committing a crime and going to labor camp?"

"That Zhao educated youth had to marry the man who forced himself on her. Isn't that a bit of a pity?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe it's Zhao, the educated youth, who's willing to do it. Isn't the Lu family well-off? They'll probably give a lot of dowry for the marriage, right?"

Yes, in an era when many people can't even get enough to eat, marrying someone from a well-off family is indeed quite good.

"Alright, alright, stop talking about it. Too much has happened in the village these past few days, and people's enthusiasm for work has dropped."

"Get to work properly and stop chattering all day long," village chief Li Guofu stepped forward and reprimanded the crowd.

Then the work points and tasks were assigned.

After receiving their tasks, everyone left the threshing ground in twos and threes and headed to their respective work areas.

Today, Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi were still assigned to weed the sorghum field.

Gu Nan still worked alongside the strong laborers, doing the jobs that earned more work points.

It's already May, and the crops are starting to grow.

The crops are growing well, and everyone's enthusiasm for work has increased.

After everyone left, Li Guofu approached Jiang Aiguo.

"Let's just settle the matter of those two educated youths like this, shall we?" Li Guofu stood next to Jiang Aiguo with his hands behind his back.

"What else can we do? They're both sticking to the same story, so what can we do?"

"Yeah, that makes sense. Did they say when they'd get their marriage certificate?"

"They'll need to wait until they're feeling a bit better in the next couple of days before they come to me for a letter of introduction."

Jiang Aiguo also planned to keep an eye on the two of them. If they didn't come to get the letter of introduction in a few days, or if Zhao Sulan realized her mistake and said that Lu Xingguang had used force, he would keep an eye on them.

Jiang Aiguo would definitely report it immediately, and have Lu Xingguang arrested and sent to a labor camp.

On the other side, Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi were both working hard.

Su Niannian thought that Gu Nan would definitely come to find her after he finished his work.

Therefore, in order to prevent Gu Nan from doing too much work, I have to be quick today.

Get those two work points done as soon as possible.

But it was already noon, and Su Niannian had finished her work long ago, but Gu Nan still hadn't come over.

Su Niannian was a little unhappy.

"What, you're disappointed because Gu Nan didn't come?"

At noon, Song Zhaodi and Su Niannian were having lunch under a big tree. When Song Zhaodi noticed that Su Niannian seemed a little unhappy, she tried asking her a question.

"A little." Su Niannian didn't lie; she genuinely thought Gu Nan would come to find her after finishing his work.

It was already noon, and we still hadn't seen a single person.

Su Niannian broke off a piece of the carrot and multigrain pancake that Song Zhaodi had made that morning and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Perhaps something has delayed us," said Song Zhaodi, taking a big bite of her pancake.

Song Zhaodi's words suddenly reminded Su Niannian.

That's right. If there was nothing wrong, why wouldn't Gu Nan come?

His absence might really be due to something that happened.

The more Su Niannian thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

So he handed the flatbread in his hand to Song Zhaodi, left her a pot of water, and then stood up and wiped the oil off his hands.

"I have to go check. If I'm not back this afternoon, could you help me finish drying the last half of the fabric?"

"You don't need to do any extra work, I just want two work points!"

Su Niannian said something to Song Zhaodi and then jogged away.

Song Zhaodi took a bite of the pancake in her hand. "Did I talk too much?"

Song Zhaodi didn't mind helping Su Niannian with more work. After all, Su Niannian only earned two centimeters a day, and the little work left was done in less than half an hour.

Yes, Song Zhaodi was also a little worried about Su Niannian, and just hoped that she and Gu Nan would be alright.

After finishing her food, Song Zhaodi rested for a while under a big tree. There wasn't much work left, and she wasn't in a hurry.

Su Niannian jogged away from the sorghum field and headed straight for Gu Nan's house.

When Su Niannian arrived at Gu Nan's house, Gu's mother and Gu Ningning were having dinner.

But Gu Nan was nowhere to be seen.

"Auntie, Ningning." Su Niannian greeted her as she entered the courtyard.

"Hey! Niannian's here! Have you eaten yet?"

Gu's mother quickly got up and pulled Su Niannian over to sit at the dining table.

"have eaten."

"Auntie, where's Gu Nan?" Su Niannian asked Gu's mother, looking up at her.

Mother Gu took a clean bowl and served Su Niannian a bowl of corn porridge.

"He finished his work this morning and said he was going to the county town," said Gu's mother, pointing to where the bicycle used to be.

The bicycle was no longer there, indicating that Gu Nan had ridden it to the county town.

"Oh, did he say what he was going to do in the county town?" Su Niannian was no longer worried when she heard that Gu Nan was going to the county town.

As long as nothing bad happens, that's good.

Su Niannian was a little anxious just now. With Gu Nan's skills, it was unlikely that anything would happen to him.

I was just confused because I was too concerned.

"You'll know when he gets back," Gu's mother said with a smile.

He had an expression that suggested Gu Nan was going to do something good.

Judging from Gu's mother's expression, Su Niannian probably wasn't going to do anything bad.

"You're one to talk! I said I wanted to go with my second brother, but he wouldn't take me," Gu Ningning said, pouting as she took a small sip of corn porridge.

"What are you going there for? We need to put things on the back of that bicycle when we get back." Gu's mother gently patted Gu Ningning's back.

Gu Ningning snorted.

She wasn't really unhappy, she just felt that it had been a very long time since she had been to the county town, and she wanted to go and see it.

Seeing this, Su Niannian said, "Ningning, don't be angry. In a few days, your sister Niannian will take you to the county town." Su Niannian's smile returned.

He said to Gu Ningning with a gentle expression.

"Sister Niannian is better, unlike Second Brother."

"I'll stick with Sister Niannian from now on, and not with Second Brother anymore!" Gu Ningning's pouting lips softened.

Her legs were swinging restlessly with joy.

"You just spoil Ningning," Gu's mother said with a smile.

After all, Su Niannian is so good to Ningning, and that makes her happy too.

"Mmm, Sister Niannian, you have to keep spoiling me." As Gu Ningning spoke, she put a piece of meat on Su Niannian's plate.

It's leftover chicken from last night.

Su Niannian patted Gu Ningning's little head, then smiled and picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

I also took a sip of corn porridge.
