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

Gu Nan turned around and met Su Niannian's bright and clear eyes, which made his heart flutter.

When Su Niannian saw Gu Nan turn around, she waved to him and showed a bright smile.

It was as if it glowed, attracting men's attention.

Gu Nan's eyes darkened slightly, but he calmly turned his head away without making any reaction.

Su Niannian's waving hand froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

Neither of them said much, so his reaction was quite normal.

Otherwise, he'd respond to any woman who approached him; wouldn't that be like a central air conditioner?

Su Niannian comforted herself in this way.

"Is this the new female educated youth? She's so beautiful!" A man in his twenties who had never married looked at Su Niannian and his eyes lit up with amazement.

"What's the use of being pretty? She's obviously useless. How many work points can she earn?" An auntie next to her said with a disdainful look, glancing at Su Niannian and muttering.

"What good is being pretty? If I had a wife like that, I'd rather keep her at home on the kang (heated brick bed) every day to serve me. I'd make her so busy that she couldn't even get out of bed, and then she wouldn't be able to earn any work points." A bachelor in his thirties next to the auntie revealed his true feelings with a lewd smile.

Upon hearing this, Gu Nan glared at him.

The old bachelor suddenly shivered and turned to look at Gu Nan.

It would have been better not to look at it, because looking at it gave me a chill down my spine.

To give a recent example, just before the beginning of winter, two wild boars, probably starving, came down from the mountains.

Several people were injured in the collision, including a villager whose stomach was ripped open by the wild boar's tusks and nearly died.

The village brigade organized strong laborers to deal with the wild boars, but after a long struggle, they still couldn't defeat them and four of them were injured.

If Gu Nan hadn't appeared, wielding a sickle in one hand and an axe in the other, and killed two wild boars, who knows what kind of disaster would have happened in the village, and how many people would have suffered.

He still remembered when Gu Nan killed two wild boars weighing two or three hundred pounds by himself, his whole body covered in blood, his face and neck were all red.

Like the King of Hell in hell, or a general fighting a bloody battle.

That one battle was enough to make the villagers keep their distance from Gu Nan.

Even though Gu Nan's family had a bad class background, even though his mother was in poor health, and even though his older brother was disabled, no one dared to say a word to his face.

If someone talks about it behind your back, they don't know it, and even if they did, the gossip wouldn't admit what they said.

What happened on Gu Nan's side was not something Su Niannian could hear, but she did receive many intense gazes from people around her.

Soon, once most people had arrived, the village chief began assigning tasks.

It's mid-April now, and most of the crop seeds have already been sown.

All that's left is to weed and fertilize.

The work wasn't tiring. The strong laborers were assigned to the rice paddies because their feet would be soaked in water while working there, which was a bit cold, and the mud was quite dirty.

The educated youth were mainly assigned to sorghum fields, where they were responsible for weeding and fertilizing.

Then there were the younger ones, who were assigned to cut pig feed on the back hill. The newly arrived female educated youth received fairly good treatment and were assigned to the pig feed cutting team.

Su Niannian was a little disappointed, after all, if she was going to cut pig feed, she wouldn't be working with Gu Nan.

Gu Nan was a strong laborer...

However, it was the village chief's youngest son who whispered something in the village chief's ear.

The village chief's eyes lit up as he glanced at Su Niannian.

"Then you should go to the back mountain too. What if there's a wild animal or something? There are women and children there, what if it's dangerous?"

Li Jinbao, the youngest son of village chief Li Guofu, smiled and agreed.

"Brother Nan, I don't think Li Jinbao's smile is funny. Yesterday, that pretty girl went to the foot of the mountain to cut pig feed. I wonder if this guy has any ideas about her?" Li Ergou, walking next to Gu Nan, whispered.

Li Ergou's family was considered a distant relative of the village chief's family. Li Jinbao was an idle and lecherous man who would harass girls whenever he had nothing to do.

Looking at his smile, Li Ergou couldn't help but feel that he was holding back something.

Gu Nan didn't say anything, but his dark eyes darkened.

Li Jinbao led the female educated youth and her half-grown child toward the back of the mountain.

As they walked, they found themselves standing next to Su Niannian without realizing it.

"My name is Li Jinbao. My dad is the village chief. You must be a new educated youth. What's your name?" Li Jinbao asked as he walked, glancing at Su Niannian.

Su Niannian felt uncomfortable all over as this person's gaze fell on her.

Song Zhaodi saw it and immediately squeezed between Su Niannian and Li Jinbao.

Song Zhaodi was used to hard work and had a lot of strength.

She couldn't let Su Niannian be bullied. If Li Jinbao did anything excessive, she wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

"Comrade Li, you should keep some distance from female comrades!" Song Zhaodi said, walking between the two.

Li Jinbao glanced at Song Zhaodi and felt annoyed.

Why is this person meddling in my business? So annoying!

But there were still many people around, and he couldn't make things difficult for the new educated youth.

After glaring at Song Zhaodi, he strode forward.

"Thank you," Su Niannian said to Song Zhaodi.

"What are you saying? You're beautiful and kind to me, of course I'll protect you!"

"If anything happens, just shout for me. That little chick is no match for me!" Song Zhaodi said, patting her own shoulder as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

Su Niannian couldn't help but smile and replied with an "okay".

When they reached the foot of the mountain behind the hill, the children had already scattered to cut pig feed.

Zhao Sulan felt somewhat uncomfortable when she saw someone fawning over Su Niannian.

Even if that person doesn't look like much, he's still the village chief's son. If that person were to try to curry favor with her, Zhao Sulan certainly wouldn't refuse.

However, she definitely wouldn't look for a partner in Kaoshan Village; she wouldn't even consider the village chief's son.

Moreover, she saw Gu Nan's clothes when she saw him at the threshing ground that morning, and she knew that he was not some educated youth sent to the countryside, but a country bumpkin. So even if Gu Nan was interested in her, she would not be interested in him.

Zhao Sulan is quite quick-witted, but... she probably doesn't even have a mirror on her body...

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Su Niannian stayed close to Song Zhaodi, and Li Jinbao, seeing that there was no chance to get closer, didn't go over either.

Finding a shady and comfortable spot, Li Jinbao leaned against a wooden stake, a wild grass he had picked from who-knows-where dangling from his mouth, leisurely enjoying the cool air.

Zhao Sulan didn't dare to go any further into the mountains, so she stayed on the very outer edge, idly cutting pig feed.

Seeing that Li Jinbao was not actually outside and had not entered the mountain, Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi were no longer so concerned about the distance.
