Chapter 21: Compromise with Oneself

It felt dull and uncomfortable to breathe.

He knew what his own conditions were.

He hadn’t found a partner before because he hadn’t thought about it from the bottom of his heart. The recent blind date was also due to a series of dreams.

He thought that if he found a blind date, he would stop having those lustful dreams.

Who knew that no matter what kind of partner he changed, he would inevitably think of Jiang Mingyue during the blind date.

The waist that he had accidentally glimpsed was enough to make him dream for a whole night, not to mention her delicate and beautiful face…

Just like now, just thinking about it, he couldn’t help but get excited even after being rejected, and he couldn’t control himself.

“Fuck…”

Gu Dongqing cursed himself in a low voice. It seemed to be ridiculing, but also seemed to be compromising with oneself!

“Gu Dongqing, you too will have such a day!”

Duan Ping of the Dong family next door was crying again.

Dong Jianguo was taken away today and was not released at night. The Dong family has been shrouded in sorrow.

Dong Yumei, who was sent to her grandmother’s house for ‘refugee’ some time ago, was also brought back. She made a lot of noise at home and cursed viciously when she opened her mouth.

The Gu family is separated by a wall, and Gu Dongqing is not affected by the noise next door.

He was thinking about what to do next.

The next day, before dawn, every household in Qianjin Village had already turned on the lights.

Jiang Mingyue cooked noodles with the leftover chicken soup from last night. After the family ate the noodles, they went out with a flashlight.

Cutting rice in the fields is very busy. At this time, even children like Jiang Manyue are also a part of the family’s labor force.

You still need to go out to work.

The Jiang family’s main house has a total of twelve acres of paddy fields for growing rice, and three acres of mountainous land for growing corn.

Every autumn harvest, the rice is harvested first and then the corn.

In the Jiang family, whether they are old people or children, they are all good at work.

It was not five o’clock when they arrived in the field. The two elders picked up the sickles and bent down to work. When the sun came out, they had already finished cutting a rice field.

Let her grandparents rest under the tree on the field for a while. She and her sister bundled the cut rice and carried it to the field.

After cleaning up, continue fighting for the next field.

Thinking about the child in her belly, Jiang Mingyue didn’t move too much when working, nor did she use as much strength as she did before.

But even so, in the eyes of outsiders, she is still a very capable person.

Many aunts and aunts who were harvesting rice nearby saw the neatness of the Jiang sisters in their work and looked at their own fields, inevitably thinking about the Jiang sisters.

Although Jiang Mingyue was said to have been driven back by the Dong family, she is a good worker after all. If he marries her home when winter comes, then he will have a good helper for spring planting and autumn harvest!

Besides, this woman who has been divorced once must be inferior to others. After marrying Jiang Mingyue, why can’t she control her?

The lively aunt has already begun to think about how to mention this matter to the second elder of the Jiang family.

Jiang Mingyue had been bending down to cut rice all morning. No matter how good her physical condition was, it was still too much for her.

She stood up straight and punched her waist. She glanced at the rice in front of her that was still waiting to be harvested. She took a deep breath and prepared to continue working.

“Isn’t he from the town? What is he doing here?”

Yeah, why is he here? Why does he seem to be going to the Jiang family’s fields?”

Someone’s voice came from not far away, and Jiang Mingyue glanced subconsciously , and saw Gu Dongqing striding towards them.

He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of Jiefang shoes. He was tall and had long legs. He arrived at Jiang’s field not long after walking.

Jiang Mingyue was stunned.

Why is he here?

Jiang Mingyue had been working all morning, and her fair cheeks were slightly red from the sun. Her hair was wet with sweat, and a few strands of black hair fell down by her ears and neck.

The contrast between black and white is particularly eye-catching.

Gu Dongqing looked at her, then looked away, reaching out to pick up the sickle in her hand.

“What are you doing?”

Jiang Mingyue didn’t give him the knife.

Instead, he looked at Gu Dongqing warily, “I made it clear to you yesterday.” She won’t get married, so he doesn’t need to waste time on her.

Gu Dongqing clicked his tongue and forcibly reached out to take the sickle in her hand. “You are right in refusing, but I have the right to persist.”

After saying that, he didn’t waste any time. He went to the place where Jiang Mingyue was cutting the rice, bent down and cut forward. .

I don’t know if it’s because of good physical fitness or because of the training he received during his years as a soldier? His speed in harvesting rice is no less than that of the men in the village who are accustomed to serving crops.

There were two hands as big as Jiang Mingyue’s, and Jiang Mingyue could hold more than three rice grains in one handful.

When the sickle in his hand was lowered, there were only two click sounds, and all the rice in his hand was cut off.

Feel free to drop it to the side and continue cutting forward.

After a while, a large piece was cut.

“Gu Dongqing”

Jiang Mingyue came back to her senses and stepped forward to hold Gu Dongqing’s arm. “Don’t do this. Listen to me.”

“I know what you want to say.”

Gu Dongqing was not wearing a straw hat and the sun was shining on him. He looked like I can’t feel the heat.

He looked at Jiang Mingyue with a focused and serious attitude.

Look at the people in your family. Your grandparents are old and your sister is still young. How can you and your third sister harvest so much rice?”

“I will find a way.”

Food is their family’s responsibility. Yes, if she was in a relationship with Gu Dongqing, it would be good for him to help.

But now, she clearly rejected Gu Dongqing. At this time, she could not do such a thing if she pretended that nothing happened and asked others to help.

Moreover, Gu Dongqing’s actions today will definitely spread in the village, to the town, and to all the villages ten miles away.

It will be really difficult for him to find a partner in the future.

You are so worried that I can’t find a partner, why would you consider what I said yesterday?”

Gu Dongqing said with a smile.

Jiang Mingyue pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and did not answer.

Gu Dongqing clicked his tongue and waved his hand towards her, “I went to the county to eat early this morning, and now I’m hungry. Comrade Jiang Mingyue go home and cook a meal for me.”

What he said was true, he really ‘s hungry.

It was also an excuse to send Jiang Mingyue home for a rest.

The sun was so hot that she worked under the sun. To be honest, Gu Dongqing didn’t feel sorry for him either.

If he were her partner, he would never let his wife go out in such weather.

Whose daughter-in-law feels sorry for me!

However, the relationship between the two has not yet been settled, so he can only find other excuses to drive away Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue looked at Gu Dongqing, then at her grandparents who were bending to cut rice not far away, and her two younger sisters who were standing aside and watching her, with hesitation on her face.

“Second girl.”

Mrs. Jiang’s voice sounded from the side, and she said, “You can go home and cook.”

“Grandma”

“Go!”

Mrs. Jiang smiled slightly and used the people around her to say you can hear the voice saying,

Xiao Gu is the one I hired to help my family harvest rice.

We can’t neglect our guests.
