Chapter 10

“Comrade An, you must be mistaken, Song comrade doesn’t know you well, how could she be hostile towards you?” Yang Huifang came over to explain.

An Jinsheng stared intently at Song Shishi and asked softly, “Is that so?”

“Yes, you’re mistaken.”

After Song Shishi finished speaking, she happened to see Xu Li walking towards them.

She put down the grain in her hand, raised her hand and waved to Xu Li, “Lili!”

Xu Li was also happy to see Song Shishi, she ran a few steps and came to Song Shishi.

Before Song Shishi could speak, Xu Li subconsciously helped Song Shishi to carry the two bags of grain, “Sister, I was just about to go find you.”

Song Shishi waved to Yang Huifang, seeing her follow, she walked forward and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you need something?”

“Yes.” Xu Li nodded, “Sister, do you have time after work this afternoon?”

“…”

Song Shishi and the others gradually walked away, An Jinsheng stood there awkwardly.

Since she wasn’t hostile towards him, was it because she cared about other female comrades being around him?

Could it be that Song Shishi was jealous?

An Jinsheng thought about it, his expression softened, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.

No wonder he had caught Song Shishi glancing at him several times, but when he approached her, she refused.

It seems that he needs to put in more effort and try to get Song Shishi as soon as possible.

He hummed a tune and walked towards the educated youth point.

On the other side, after Xu Li helped Song Shishi carry the grain back to the educated youth point, she said, “I want to go fishing in the river later, the fish here are so fresh, I’ll get you one to try.”

“Okay. I’ll go to the river to find you after work.”

After Song Shishi and Xu Li made an appointment, they went to work directly.

She had to finish her work quickly, so that when Xu Li caught fish, she could go and pick some herbs, crush them and apply them to her hands at night, otherwise, she would be unable to work tomorrow.

Yang Huifang was already exhausted after carrying the two bags of grain back, so she didn’t go to work with Song Shishi.

Everyone was working in the field for the first time, the situation was similar, they all had blisters on their hands, and some of them couldn’t even straighten their backs.

As soon as Yang Huifang entered the room, she heard the educated youth in the same room complaining.

“This is not a life for humans! Woohoo… I don’t want to go this afternoon.”

“But we’ve only been working for half a day, will the captain agree?”

“I don’t care if he agrees, I’m not going anyway.”

The one crying was Shen Shufeng, she looked like she had been pampered at home.

It was her first day of work, she was still wearing a skirt, she didn’t look like she was going to work in the fields, but rather like she was going to perform.

After harvesting wheat for a whole morning, her skirt was already covered in mud.

She was sitting on the ground crying.

Beside her, squatting, was Jia Jingwen, who was wearing glasses and looked gentle.

She probably didn’t want to go to work either, but she didn’t dare to say it.

There were only the two of them in the room, Yang Huifang sighed, she didn’t go into the room, she turned around and went to the field.

It was really hard to persuade them.

She had already prepared herself to endure hardship since she started preparing to go to the countryside.

Among the few female educated youth, she thought Song Shishi’s family was the best, but she didn’t complain about being tired or in pain while harvesting wheat in the field, did she?

Could it be that these people thought they were coming to the countryside to enjoy themselves?

…

The afternoon work started, and the wheat field was a lively scene again.

Although Song Shishi knew the techniques, she hadn’t done this kind of physical labor in this life.

Whether it was in terms of strength or speed, she couldn’t keep up with the male educated youth.

After An Jinsheng finished his part, he didn’t hesitate, he picked up his sickle and came over to help Song Shishi harvest wheat.

Hearing the sound, Song Shishi glanced to the side, but she didn’t say anything.

If someone was willing to be a free laborer, she couldn’t stop them, could she?

“Comrade An.”

Until she heard a familiar voice coming from behind, not far away, Song Shishi stopped what she was doing and turned to look back.

She saw Zhou Xingxue walking towards An Jinsheng with a porcelain jar in her hand, her face beaming with a smile.

“You must be tired, have some water and take a break.”

The way she was rushing forward was really cheap.

“It’s really disgraceful, shameless!”

Suddenly, a low female voice sounded in Song Shishi’s ear.

She turned her head and saw Su Yu, who had come out of nowhere, standing next to her, her arms crossed, her eyes fixed on An Jinsheng and Zhou Xingxue.

“Why did you come over? Are you done with your work in the field?” Song Shishi asked, looking at the field where Su Yu was responsible, but half of it was still not harvested.

Su Yu shook her head, “I can’t finish it today, and I can’t even move.”

“By the way, I came to ask you for help.”

Thinking about the main thing, Su Yu leaned closer and lowered her voice, “Yesterday I went to Zhao the carpenter as you said, but the price he quoted me was too expensive, a cabinet that’s half a man’s height, he wants 30 yuan.

Can you help me think of a way, or say a few good words for me?

The rations we can get in advance for the first year are limited, we’ll definitely have to buy food later.

If we spend so much on a cabinet,…”

Song Shishi was able to know Zhao the carpenter’s preferences because of her experience in her previous life.

But to say that she had much influence was a joke.

But this wasn’t something she couldn’t help with.

“Did you bring your homemade wine when you came to the countryside this time?”

“Huh? How did you know?”

Song Shishi just smiled, she didn’t answer her question.

“Zhao the carpenter has a hobby, he likes to drink a little wine, you go and get a small pot for him, the price will be easier to negotiate.”

Su Yu’s eyes lit up, she gave Song Shishi a thumbs up.

“You even know this kind of thing? If it works out, I’ll definitely remember your kindness.”

Looking at Su Yu’s departing back, Song Shishi smiled.

In her previous life, Su Yu had been influenced by Jiang Cuihua and Zhou Xingxue, and she had never been nice to her.

Unexpectedly, in this life, just because of buying a cabinet, the situation had completely changed.

Sighing, she continued to harvest the remaining wheat.

“Song comrade, Zhou comrade just brought me some water, there’s nothing between us, don’t misunderstand.”

An Jinsheng didn’t know what was wrong with him, as soon as Zhou Xingxue left, he came over and said something inexplicable.

Song Shishi frowned, “Your business with other female comrades has nothing to do with me, you don’t need to explain it to me.”

“I know you care about me being close to other female comrades, although they were the ones who approached me, but don’t worry, I’ll try to keep my distance from them in the future.”

An Jinsheng completely ignored what Song Shishi was saying, he explained it to himself.
