Chapter 4

Qin Hongyuan was working hard in the fields.

A gaze from a distance made him raise his head alertly.

When I looked up, the girl standing by the field was none other than the girl from last night.

She had two pigtails and her hair was a little dry and yellow, but the pigtails were very long and hung down to her waist.

Her cheeks were slightly sunken and she didn’t have much flesh on her body. He still remembered that when he hugged her, her body was very light.

He was wearing the most ordinary grey coat and black trousers, a very ordinary outfit.

For some reason, Qin Hongyuan’s heart was slightly shaken.

He lowered his head and looked away, his hand holding the sickle tightening a little.

“This is for you.”

A voice as light as an oriole came, and seemed very close.

When he looked up again, her figure was already in front of him.

In his hand he held a white handkerchief with two eggs and a big steamed bun inside.

Although eggs are not a rare thing these days.

But ordinary people are reluctant to eat it as a meal. One a day is already very good.

But she took out two eggs at once.

Qin Hongyuan’s mood changed a little. He knew that this was because of what happened last night.

“No.” He refused bluntly.

In Qin Hongyuan’s opinion, he really didn’t want to compete for food with a skinny little girl.

Giving him these two eggs was just enough to fill his teeth.

It would be better to give it to Zhao Nianhui herself to nourish her body.

Zhao Nianhui withdrew her hand in surprise.

Looking at the man walking away, she withdrew her gaze.

She found it hard to swallow the thought that this was something sent by a scumbag.

But I didn’t want to waste food, and I happened to meet the man here.

But he rejected his kindness.

Zhao Nianhui couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed.

If this happened on a university campus in the past, people would scramble to get the things you gave away.

When I turned around, I was blinded by a field of golden wheat.

Zhao Nianhui, who was still angry just now, was a little stunned.

She is no longer the popular school belle.

Now she is just an educated youth with a bad reputation.

This did not make Zhao Nianhui pessimistic, but made her more sober.

Thinking back, she was also a child who came out of the mountains.

I worked hard step by step, got admitted to the largest university, and obtained a professional certificate.

The bitterness and tears involved are unknown.

However, on his way home from get off work, he got into a car accident while trying to save a child on the road.

He also traveled into a novel written by his roommate and became a cannon fodder character of the same name in the book.

It’s just returning to the starting point.

She is confident that she can return to that place again with her own abilities.

Getting into university is the primary goal.

Unfortunately, now is not the time.

It is now 1975, the college entrance examination has not yet begun, and it is not yet time for the large number of educated youth to return to the city.

“hiss!”

I was thinking about something and my hands were a little slack.

I accidentally cut my hand with the sickle.

Fortunately, the wound was not deep.

He took out a handkerchief from his pants and wiped the blood.

There is no such thing as a Band-Aid at this time.

I was not very skilled at cutting wheat.

In addition, his hand was injured, so his movements became even slower.

It seemed that I had harvested a lot, but when I looked up, the wheat field in front of me was still endless.

She felt her lips were about to crack from being so dry, but unfortunately she didn’t bring any water with her.

I looked at the scorching sun above my head somewhat helplessly.

The sun is so strong that I feel like I’ll be roasted in the next second.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt dizzy.

Suddenly, a dark shadow covered the dizzying light.

A straw hat was placed on his head.

Zhao Nianhui looked over with some surprise. It was Qin Hongyuan who came.

“Come here.”

Qin Hongyuan only took a glance and saw that the little girl’s face was pale and her forehead was covered with sweat.

But her cheeks were terribly red and her lips were dry and cracked.

It was obvious that something was wrong with her.

Only after coming to the shade of the big tree did Zhao Nianhui feel better.

But she still looked listless and like a wilted flower.

“Wait here.”

I could hold on for a while, but now I have to sit down and rest.

Then I realized that my legs were very sore and my head was swollen.

I couldn’t hear what Qin Hongyuan said at all.

She just vaguely felt that the other party seemed to have said something.

A muffled voice came from under the straw hat.

Qin Hongyuan felt a little angry but had no way to vent it.

As soon as he saw Zhao Nianhui’s appearance, he knew that this person was exposed to the sun.

But she didn’t notice it at all.

If he hadn’t discovered it in time.

Maybe I can make her faint on the ground today.

But soon, the anger disappeared.

This little girl doesn’t look very old.

Her family abandoned her to the countryside.

It’s normal not to know how to take care of yourself.

When he came over, the person remained where he was, motionless.

Take off the hat covering Zhao Nianhui’s head.

“Mm, very comfortable.”

A towel still wet with water was placed over the face.

A slight cool breeze came, and Zhao Nianhui breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn’t notice that the man next to her was stiffening.

The action of covering her face with a towel also became restrained.

Qin Hongyuan coughed lightly twice.

“Ahem, here’s some water, take a sip.”

Zhao Nianhui, who was originally enjoying it, took the towel away.

“My land…”

Only then did Qin Hongyuan realize that she was really very white.

The little face was slightly tilted up, and the watery eyes were looking at him without blinking.

It made Qin Hongyuan’s heart feel numb.

This strange emotion made him take two steps back in confusion.

“The people in the commune made the wrong allocation. This kind of work was originally meant for laborers like us.”

He said this and left in a hurry.

It looked as if there were jackals, tigers or leopards chasing him.

Zhao Nianhui did not miss Qin Hongyuan’s red ears.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise, and a smile appeared on his face.

I didn’t expect this person to be so innocent.

I didn’t expect this person to be so innocent.

Of course she knew that the person who assigned the farm work did it on purpose.

As soon as I arrived here, I found something wrong.

The work of harvesting wheat is mostly done by men.

The women were responsible for tying them up, and several people worked together to transport them away.

She was the only one who was allocated such a large piece of land.

It was because the original owner was badly cheated by Shen Meizhu.

It left an impression that the person loves to pick and choose when doing work.

No wonder those people looked at her evasively.

I think they had planned this and were deliberately trying to play a trick on me.

She waved her hand, threw away the badly trampled weeds in her hand, and hit a hard object.

It turned out that in addition to the kettle, there was also an aluminum lunch box left there.

I opened the lunch box and found some whole grain rice, stir-fried carrots and cabbage, and even a few pieces of braised pork.

The tempting aroma made Zhao Nianhui a little greedy.

The original owner probably hadn’t eaten meat for a long time.

She closed the lunch box and wrapped it carefully with a handkerchief.

He picked up the kettle next to him and drank the water in small sips.

Imagine that this is the milk tea drink that I often drank in my previous life.

Even the water has become flavorful.

Drinking cold water will not make you feel full.

At least it would stop her from worrying about Qin Hongyuan’s food.

She closed her eyes and leaned against the tree.

The wind blew, causing the wheat ears to sway slightly.
