When the first ray of sunshine in the morning illuminates the earth, the fields are already in full swing. Xie Shuchen was breaking off corn cobs when someone suddenly came over.

Gu Mingxue shyly took a green military kettle, handed it to Xie Shuchen, and whispered softly: "Xie Zhiqing, do you, do you want a drink of water?"

Gu Mingxue didn't think Xie Shuchen would reject her.

If we say, the Wang family is the most patriarchal family in the entire village. Then the Gu family is the family that loves their daughter the most.

There are only three members of the Gu family, Gu's mother, her eldest son Gu Mingyuan, and her youngest daughter Gu Mingxue. The eldest son went to serve in the army and was away from home all year round. He only had one daughter to accompany Gu's mother, so he was somewhat spoiled.

Gu Mingyuan would send more than half of the allowance every month. With this money, the mother and daughter lived a very comfortable life. Gu Mingxue could even wear new clothes every year.

She has a beautiful face, her skin is very white because she has never done any housework, and her fingers are smooth and delicate. She is a flower in the village. There were many young men who secretly had a crush on her, but Gu Mingxue couldn't like any of them.

When she accidentally saw Xie Shuchen, she felt excited. Unexpectedly, she walked around Xie Shuchen several times, but Xie Shuchen didn't respond.

The colder Xie Shuchen became, the more determined she became. After much deliberation, Gu Mingxue decided to take the initiative. And this time, it was her first attempt.

Unfortunately, what Xie Shuchen said disappointed Gu Mingxue: "Comrade Gu, thank you for your kindness, but I'm not thirsty right now. I'm sorry."

After hearing Xie Shuchen's words, Gu Mingxue felt that her outstretched hand became extremely stiff, and the smile on her lips suddenly disappeared.

She clearly saw that Xie Shuchen pursed his lips, obviously a little thirsty, otherwise Gu Mingxue would not have come forward like this... Xie Shuchen actually refused her kind offer? !

Gu Mingxue refused to give up: "Xie Zhiqing..."

"Thank you, brother." Shi Rong walked over quickly. He glanced at Xie Shuchen's basket and said with admiration on his face: "You broke so many corns? It's amazing."

"Rong Rong." Xie Shuchen's face softened as he met Shi Rong's bright eyes. He paused and added: "It's already the second basket."

"It's amazing...cough cough cough." Shi Rong coughed a few times, and then he lowered his eyes, feeling a little disappointed: "It would be great if I could be as capable as Brother Xie."

Xie Shuchen frowned when he saw this, "You are not in good health, why do you still come to work?"

"I don't want to be idle." Shi Rong's smile was weak but also revealed a kind of tenacity. He pointed to Zhao Zhixin not far away, "My father and I came to the field to pull weeds."

"Plucking weeds is the work of children and the elderly." Gu Mingxue finally found an opportunity and took the opportunity to mock Shi Rong, "You are such an adult and you still compete with children for centimeters, haha."

Gu Mingxue disliked Shi Rong very much.

It was obvious that neither of them worked very hard, but the snarky old women in the village kept praising Shi Rong and belittling her.

What's even more disgusting is that one time she overheard that a snarky old woman actually told others that Shi Rong was prettier than her... Isn't it disgusting for a man to compare his beauty with a woman?

It's really shameless to call Xie Zhiqing "brother".

As soon as Gu Mingxue said this, Shi Rong's face suddenly turned red, as if she wanted to explain something in a hurry. But the more anxious he became, the less he could speak. In the end, he could only cover his chest and cough.

"That's enough!" When Xie Shuchen saw this, he quickly patted Shi Rong on the back, and looked at Gu Mingxue with a bone-chilling look, losing his usual gentleness.

"Comrade Gu, Comrade Shi Rong is so weak and still comes to work despite his illness, just to contribute to the collective. How come you are talking about competing for work points with children?"

Gu Mingxue was stunned. She didn't expect Xie Shuchen to treat her like this: "I..."

"Ahem, cough, cough." Shi Rong coughed a few more times, shook his head considerately, and spoke for Gu Mingxue: "Comrade Gu has probably never worked before and doesn't understand these things...it's okay."

Gu Mingxue choked and stared at Shi Rong angrily. What does this damn Shirong mean? Pretending to be pretentious, he also secretly stabbed her for never having worked...

Xie Shuchen looked indifferent: "Comrade Gu, if you have nothing to do, please leave."

Sensing the playful looks from the people around her and being treated so coldly by Xie Shuchen, Gu Mingxue couldn't stay any longer. Her eyes turned red, her head turned, and she ran away angrily.

"Thank you, brother." Shi Rong smiled and took out a kettle from behind and handed it to Xie Shuchen, "Did you forget to bring water? Your mouth is a little dry."

Xie Shuchen was startled. Shi Rong could notice such small details. Maybe he had been paying attention to him... For some reason, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"...Thank you, Rong Rong."

Xie Shuchen reached out and took the kettle.

After seeing Shi Rong's delicate white and beautiful little pink hand, he narrowed his eyes, gently took off the gloves on his hands, and handed them to Shi Rong.

Shi Rong tilted his head, widened his eyes, and seemed a little confused: "Thank you, brother...?"

Maybe it was because he hadn't drank water for a long time. Xie Shuchen felt his throat was a little dry. He looked away and said, "You will need to pull weeds later. You should need this more than me."

Shi Rong rolled his eyes and smiled beautifully. He reached out and took the gloves, cherishing them: "Thank you, brother."

"Ah."

……

"Rong Rong, why did you get a pair of gloves from Xie Zhiqing?" In the field, Zhao Zhixin was pulling up grass one after another, staring at Shi Rong's gloves in surprise.

Shi Rong looked around to make sure that everyone was working hard and had no time to focus on the father and son. Then he whispered: "Xie Zhiqing knows that I want to pull weeds. Dad, we are still pretending to be sick today." ?"

Zhao Zhixin thought about it seriously, "It seems that our work points are not enough, and it is not worthwhile to spend money on food. Let's take a look. Whenever we feel tired, we will pretend to be sick and run away."

Shi Rong nodded seriously.

"By the way, what is that girl Gu Mingxue doing with Xie Zhiqing?"

"She seems to have taken a liking to Xie Zhiqing."

Zhao Zhixin snorted. Gu Mingxue's reputation among the older generation has never been very good: "It's rare! Her arrogant look, I thought no one could catch her."

Shi Rong narrowed his eyes proudly, "I pissed her off."

Zhao Zhixin was confused: "Why are you angry with her?"

Shi Rong said confidently: "If she and Xie Zhiqing make it happen, can we still get something good?"

"That's right." Zhao Zhixin suddenly realized and gave Shi Rong a thumbs up, "Well done!"
