December 1978, 9.
Shuangta Brigade, Honghe Village, Bei Province.
The ground was baked and smelled of sweat, and you would get burned if you stepped on it.
The heads of people rising and falling in the wheat waves were numb and they lowered their heads to work, and the wheat was piled up one after another.
"Chen Muting, work hard and don't be lazy!"
Chen Muting, who was sweating profusely, had just taken a short break when he was urged to work faster.
The anger that had been suppressed just now was suddenly ignited, and her emotions completely exploded with the hot weather. "Why are you shouting? Sui Yu didn't even come, what's the point of shouting at me?"
"You're not just looking at her beauty and hoping to use this little thing to make her fall in love with you, are you?"
"If you have the guts, don't treat people differently!"
The other educated youth who were harvesting wheat nearby wanted to stop them and started a quarrel with Zhou Jianguo, the village official in charge of public affairs, which would not be good for them.
Chen Muting didn't want to endure it, no matter who tried, it would be of no use.
Suddenly, behind me, I heard the sound of a sickle falling on the wheat stalks and cutting them.
"I've already told the village chief that Sui Yu's share will be mine."
The tone was cold and stern, blurred by the heat.
He didn't care about Chen Muting's reaction and just went about his own business.
In the blink of an eye, a small piece of wheat was neatly cut and placed on the ground.
It’s faster than what these educated youth could do together.
Chen Muting's face turned blue and red. She had always lived a life of luxury and had never suffered such an injustice.
He blurted out, "Which one of her mistresses are you..."
The unfinished words were stuck in his throat, and because he was too frightened, he made a "ho ho" sound.
The other educated youth were also frightened by the thrilling scene where the man turned around, the sickle changed direction and hit Chen Muting directly, and was narrowly caught by the man. They stepped back in fear.
Just a little bit, just a little bit, the sickle was about to pierce Chen Muting's eyes.
They had only been in Honghe Village for two days. Although they were educated youth who went to the countryside together, they did not have a deep friendship, let alone such a life-threatening matter.
Zhou Yan's muscular body, which could not be concealed by his shorts, was tanned into a wheat-colored color by the sun. The veins on his arms were bulging, and the way he held the sickle unleashed an astonishing power.
He didn't look at Chen Muting who was sitting limply in the wheat field with fear. His deep gaze swept around, and the people who met his eyes all restrained their expressions and dared not breathe.
Especially Gao Weibin, who had something to hide, lowered his head and didn't say anything.
"Sui Yu is my brother's sister, that's all."
"If I hear anything bad about her in the future..."
Although he didn't finish his words, the listeners understood them and nodded without saying anything else.
Zhou Yan quietly finished harvesting the wheat, put the sickle into his backpack, and walked towards the village.
After the people had gone far away, Zhou Jianguo, who had just been eight feet away from the educated youth, came over with a smug look on his face. "Don't you like to yell? People work faster than you."
"Young ladies and gentlemen from the city, please work hard. If you don't finish the work, I won't show favoritism."
This time, no one argued with him. Everyone lowered their heads and continued to harvest wheat.
If you don’t finish harvesting, you won’t have any work points; without work points, you won’t have anything to eat and you will starve to death.
Zhou Yan, who was being discussed by them, went up the mountain to catch a pheasant before heading home.
Light a fire, boil water, pluck the chicken, kill it, and cook the soup...
After finishing all this, it was almost time for lunch and there was still no movement in the house.
Zhou Yan turned around twice, buttoned up his clothes, and put them on neatly.
Guessing that the water in the wooden basin was no longer so cold, he knocked on the door and asked, "Are you awake? Dinner is ready."
An impatient murmur sounded pleasant even through the door. Zhou Yan knew she was awake, so he pushed open the door and walked in with the wooden basin. "I'm coming in."
"This is water from the well. Wash your face and have a meal."
As soon as the door was opened, a stream of hot air that was isolated from the cool room rushed in.
Sui Yu, who was still covered with a quilt, stretched out her hand lazily, rolled around twice, kicked off the quilt, sat up with the quilt half draped over her body, and was obviously not fully awake yet.
She would always cover herself with something when she slept, even if she didn't need it.
Moreover, she didn't have to live in a row of small bungalows made of earthen bricks at the educated youth camp. The room Zhou Yan arranged for her was in an ideal location that was warm in winter and cool in summer. Sui Yu felt that going to the countryside was not so hard and tiring.
She has been in Honghe Village for two days and has not yet gone to the fields.
Even her daily life is just like at home, and she is taken care of meticulously and carefully like a capitalist lady.
But the person who took care of her changed from Huo Jianhua to Zhou Yan.
Her parents died early, and she was adopted by the Huo family, so she didn't have to suffer any hardship.
This time when she went to the countryside, she didn't know who reported her, but there was someone in her father's family who had studied abroad and his background seemed off.
For safety reasons, Huo Jianhua took the initiative to arrange for her to go to the countryside, and the place she came to was Honghe Village, 10,800 miles away from Beijing.
I originally thought that the acquaintance he was talking about would be a country guy, but... he turned out to be unexpectedly handsome.
He was not as handsome as Huo Jianhua, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a gentle and upright demeanor, but he exuded a hot and wild energy all over his body.
His face is resolute and full of energy and strength, giving people an absolute sense of security.
When she first met him, Sui Yu was almost scared by his muscular body.
Could this guy just punch her brains out?!
Thinking of Huo Jianhua's red eyes before he left, Sui Yu yawned, raised her chin and pointed at the clothes on the back of the chair, "Give me the clothes."
Zhou Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down for a moment, his ears felt hot, and his eyes wandered around, but not towards Sui Yu.
Putting down the wooden basin in his hand, he grabbed the clothes with his big hands and handed them to Sui Yu. He almost felt his rough palms scratching the clothes.
Sui Yu had a good sleep so she was naturally not in a bad mood when she woke up. She was also very satisfied with Zhou Yan's face which was unexpectedly pleasing to her eyes.
The main thing is... it's not particularly cooked.
Although she is particularly sensitive to people's attitudes and has instructed Zhou Yan to do a lot of things in the past two days, she is still not so shameless.
"This chicken is so overcooked." Sui Yu sat down at the table, disliking the taste but not spitting it out. "I don't want to drink it anymore."
She only ate one piece and refused to eat any more.
Zhou Yan ate without any difference, and frowned, "You didn't eat breakfast, you'll be hungry if you don't eat."
Huo Jianhua also told him that Sui Yu must eat three meals a day on time.
But Sui Yu got up late and could only eat lunch as soon as she woke up, so he had to make a good and sumptuous lunch.
Before Sui Yu came, he just made do with a few bites of food. How could he prepare such fine food? His cooking skills were definitely not that good either.
He didn't think Sui Yu was difficult to please. He saw that she just complained a little, but he still swallowed it with a bitter face.
He must have made it taste terrible.
Zhou Yan searched in his backpack and only found two cans of sugar water.
This can't be eaten.
"Eat your rice first. I'll go to the pig farm to see if there are any spare ribs. I'll make you some soup, okay?"
Zhou Yan runs his own pig farm. On weekdays, transport teams come and go carrying pork, and perhaps other food as well.
There was not enough time these two days, and I didn’t prepare much at home, so I was still careless.
Sui Yu's stomach protested softly. She was indeed hungry. She nodded and asked confidently, "I want something thinner. It's too greasy and I can't eat it."
If Chen Muting's educated youth, or any other villager heard this, they would probably be jealous to death.
Everyone is craving for meat now, especially the educated youth who went to the countryside to do heavy work for two days and received no subsidies but had to buy meat with their own money.
Zhou Yan didn't think it was wrong and nodded seriously, "Okay, then you should eat well first."
Zhou Yan went out and talked for a while. Sui Yu was still dawdling and hadn't finished her meal yet, so he pushed the door in again.
There seemed to be a soft humming sound.
Sui Yu turned around while sitting on the chair and saw a tiny, hopeless piglet lying in his arms.
She had fair skin and tender flesh, and was rosy and tender. When she saw me, she would stick her nose up and start to move around. She only calmed down when I pinched her neck to punish her.
Sui Yu's eyes lit up, "Is this a piglet?"
Zhou Yan responded to her in a muffled voice, and was relieved to see that she was happy.
"There are several piglets born in the pigpen. I think you might like them."
Sui Yu nodded repeatedly, "I like it, thank you Brother Zhou Yan."
She was in a good mood and spoke sweetly, and was used to acting like a spoiled child, so she could say anything. She didn't notice at all that the man suddenly became stiff when he heard her call him that.
The little piglet looked like it was born not long ago. It had been cleaned and was lying on Sui Yu's arm, so it couldn't even fill up its space.
He was very energetic and kept humming against her.
Sui Yu fed it malted milk but it refused to move. Its head just followed the rim of the bowl and its four little hooves tightly held Sui Yu's arms.
"You're still quite strong."
Sui Yu teased it and looked up at Zhou Yan, "Let's give it a name, how about Xiaoxi?"
Zhou Yan was fine with either, but his attitude was not perfunctory. "The pig farm is just west of the village, and Xiaoxi is a nice name."
Sui Yu laughed, "It's the 'xi' of the stream, not the 'xi' of the west. You're wrong~"
The girl with curved eyebrows has long hair like a waterfall, and her face is white with a hint of pink, like a pear blossom that has just opened and is still covered with dew. She is so beautiful that it makes people's heart tremble.
Zhou Yan nodded blankly, and fled into the kitchen to cook ribs.
