The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 41 Slippery Tongue

Life is still peaceful and dull.

Chen Huaiyang went to the fields according to the routine. After the rice was harvested, he arranged to harvest sorghum. Sorghum was harvested by digging up the roots, cutting the ears with a sickle, and transporting them back to dry before throwing out the seeds.

Women usually take the lead in doing these trivial things.

The same thing happens after the sorghum is harvested, it is the turn of peanuts. Anyway, the harvest season comes one after another. On the contrary, for staple food like corn, strong labor must be mobilized.

Chen Huaiyang is not picky, as long as it is not too hard, he can accept it.

Today I don't need to partner with anyone. I can finish the harvest within one day. I chop everything aside, cut the ears of corn, and tie them into bundles. It's very simple.

I worked faster to finish the morning's work, then took a break.

Since the place was remote, he strolled to the side. He originally wanted to chat with the female comrades, but he happened to run into Yang Xiaolin again.

The sorghum was tall, and when Yang Xiaolin got closer and found a familiar figure, she curled her lips and smiled. She didn't see him when she bent down to dig the roots, and was startled when she saw the person.

"What are you doing? You're so calm, are you trying to scare people to death?"

Chen Huaiyang sighed, "It's not time to get off work yet, I have nothing to do so I just want to chat with someone."

Yang Xiaolin ignored him. She had to work very hard to complete this task. How could she have the time to chat with him?
He had plenty of supplies, and his family had prepared everything he needed. She was not so shameless as to ask her family for help.

"I don't have time to talk to you, go find someone else."

Chen Huaiyang took a sickle and cut the sorghum for her. "You go and cut the ears. I'll take care of these for you."

Yang Xiaolin looked at him blankly, "Why are you helping me?"

Chen Huaiyang shrugged, "Just think of me as someone who is bored and trying to please you! We are both educated youth who came here together, so we should help each other!"

Yang Xiaolin didn't believe him at all. "Come on, if you really want to help, why don't you go help Lin Zhen? We are all educated youth!"

Chen Huaiyang smiled, "Maybe you look more to my liking, so I'm happy to get close to you. Looking at pretty women makes me more motivated to work."

"Are you satisfied with my answer?"

Yang Xiaolin refused to accept the challenge. "You don't need to be so kind. I have nothing to give back to you!"

Chen Huaiyang said shamelessly, "Who said there is none? Just give me a good look in return, and don't always look so fierce at people."

With the joining of Chen Huaiyang, the process became much faster, and everyone's eyes became brighter.

Yang Xiaolin looked at him with an indescribable expression on her face, "With your speed, why don't you go and earn more work points?"

Chen Huaiyang put the sickle aside, wiped his sweat, and drank some water. "It's okay. Eat less and work harder. Don't wear down your body."

"You should take a break too. We can finish this in the afternoon."

Yang Xiaolin found a place to sit down, far away from him. Chen Huaiyang looked at her and said, "Why do I feel like you think I'm a monster?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to her, not giving her a chance to retreat.

Yang Xiaolin looked at the person who was so close to her and said with a stiff face, "You are wrong. It's not true."

Just as Chen Huaiyang was about to follow her, he heard voices coming from the side. They looked at each other and fell silent.

They only heard a familiar male voice, and it seemed to be someone they knew, it was Liu Jun. They didn't know who was in charge of the sorghum field next door.

After it quieted down, I heard someone talking. Liu Jun: "Hei Niu, let me help you! I also heard about what happened a few days ago. Chen Huaiyang is just too arrogant. He is such an ungrateful person."

"Don't bother with him. He doesn't know how to cherish a hardworking and capable girl like you. It's completely his loss."

Hei Nuo refused, "No, I can finish these tasks."

Liu Jun did not allow any refusal and took action directly, "Don't be polite with me, I am willing to do this. I used to work with Mei Niang and I often helped her."

Chen Huaiyang was too lazy to listen to what Liu Jun was chattering about. He knew what he was thinking at once. It was certain that the food he earned from work points was not enough for him to eat, so he was probably planning to get married.

If you marry a local girl, and if your family is big and you do a lot of work, you won't have to worry about food. It's always better than the little food you're allocated.

Otherwise, why would he, an educated youth from the city, be so eager to do so?
And he is a very smart man!
Coming here close to the end of work is just a reputation, how much work can you get done?
It’s just that I’m afraid of coming too early and having too much work to do.

Such a calculating person is not a good candidate for a partner, but he doesn't intend to care. How to choose a partner is the job of parents.

If you get involved blindly, you will probably be squeezed out!

Chen Huaiyang whispered, "I'm on that piece of land over there. You can see it if you walk this way."

"Just do your job and don't talk too much. If Liu Jun knew you were here, he might have other ideas."

"Be alert. If you feel something is wrong, go find someone. There is no trace of Gao Liang. If he wants to do something, you can't resist him. It's better to be more alert."

"I'll go first. I'll be close to the end of work soon. You can go back when the time comes!"

Yang Xiaolin looked at him with a scrutinizing look, "Are you afraid that people will see you and ruin your reputation?" As soon as he heard someone talking, he became impatient to leave.

Chen Huaiyang: “?”

"What are you saying? I have nothing to be afraid of. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary in broad daylight."

Yang Xiaolin looked at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that others will say that you are dating someone?"

Chen Huaiyang raised his eyebrows, "If you are willing to date me, I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

"Isn't it just dating? What's so scary about that? If you dare to come with me openly, I will have absolutely nothing to fear."

Yang Xiaolin touched her nose, put on gloves and continued to cut the ears of corn, obviously not saying anything again.

Chen Huaiyang said with a "tsk tsk" sound, "Look, you are acting like a coward again. Isn't this just for your reputation?"

"You don't like being seen. If you are caught, you will have to put on a stern face to me again."

"Life is so hard and tiring. It's so hard to find a beautiful girl in the educated youth camp. I definitely want to see her bright smiling face."

Yang Xiaolin said angrily, "Why are you so vulgar? What if a new educated youth who is even prettier comes? Wouldn't you go and flirt with her again?"

Chen Huaiyang said decisively, "That's impossible. Who is prettier than you?"

Yang Xiaolin snorted, "You are so smooth-talking. Get out of here!"

Chen Huaiyang spread his hands, "Then I really have to go. People have three urgent needs, and I have to solve the urgent need."

"If Liu Jun sees you and dares to have any bad intentions, just run to me and I will beat him to death!"

Yang Xiaolin waved her hand. As long as she kept quiet and the other party didn't notice her, she wouldn't get into trouble.
