Seeing Jiujiu leave with Li Jianmin, Li Zhangsheng sighed. He was even more uncertain about Li Jianmin's marriage.
If it were another educated youth, Li Zhangsheng might not be so worried. But Jiujiu was too beautiful, just like a fairy. How could such a beautiful girl like Li Jianmin?
Even if she liked him, could Li Jianmin keep her?
Thinking of his son's stubborn temper, Li Zhangsheng was very worried. It was true that when you raised your son for a hundred years, you would worry for ninety-nine years.
Li Jianmin, who went to the orchard with Jiujiu, didn't feel Li Zhangsheng's worry at all. Along the way, he kept looking at Jiujiu.
Last night, Li Jianmin had used the hazy moonlight to look at Jiujiu. Today, after looking at her carefully under the sunlight, Li Jianmin felt that Jiujiu was even more beautiful. She had a beautiful oval face, a pair of big eyes, double eyelids, a high nose bridge, and a small mouth that was rosy as if it had been touched with rouge. Even if she kept a straight face and did not speak, she was still very beautiful. If she smiled …
Thinking of Jiujiu smiling at him, Li Jianmin only felt his bones go soft.
Li Jianmin kept looking at Jiujiu. Looking at her, he couldn't help but whisper, "Well, do you still remember me?"
After Li Jianmin said this, he regretted it. He was slapped by the girl last night. Asking her if she still remembered him, wasn't he asking for a beating?
Thinking of Jiujiu slapping him, Li Jianmin couldn't help but touch his cheek again. Thinking of the feeling of Jiujiu's palm on his face, he sighed in his heart. The girl's hand was so tender. It didn't hurt when I slapped it, but it was soft. It made him want to slap it again.
Jiujiu had no idea what was going on in Li Jianmin's mind. When she heard Li Jianmin ask her if she still remembered him, she lowered her head and blushed even harder.
After Li Jianmin finished recalling, he turned his head and saw Jiujiu's blushing face. He instantly figured out that Jiujiu was shy.
Thinking about how Jiujiu had slapped him last night and how shy she was right now, Li Jianmin guessed that Jiujiu had been forcing herself to slap him last night. He immediately moved in front of Jiujiu and said with a smile, "I'm Li Jianmin, what's your name?"
Jiujiu raised her head and looked at Li Jianmin's large face that was leaning over with a fawning smile. She lowered her head and whispered, "Li Juan."
"Li Juan, your name is really nice."
Li Jianmin praised with exceptional sincerity. After praising, he couldn't help but say the two words' Li Juan 'a few more times in his heart.
Actually, there were quite a few girls in Li Jianmin's village called Juan. In the past, when he heard a girl called Juan, Li Jianmin felt that it was very ordinary. But now that he knew that Jiujiu was called Li Juan, Li Jianmin felt that the word 'Juan' was like dipping in honey. His heart felt sweeter every time he said it.
Hearing Li Jianmin praise her name, Jiujiu made a sound of acknowledgment and continued to follow Li Jianmin to the orchard.
Li Jianmin wanted to have intimate contact with Jiujiu, so how could he be willing to give up such a good opportunity? Thus, he took Jiujiu to walk around the orchard and carefully explained all the things that Jiujiu needed to do every day. He then repeatedly asked the uncles and aunties working in the orchard to help take care of Jiujiu. Only then did he leave with a bit of worry.
After Li Jianmin left, Jiujiu smiled and greeted the others, asking what they needed her to do.
Just as Jiujiu's voice fell, one of the women suddenly stood up and looked at Jiujiu. "Miss, it's you?"
Suddenly being recognized, Jiujiu was startled for a moment before she realized that this aunty was the owner of the house that she helped clean up last night.
Aunty Seven originally wanted to wait until the evening to talk to Li Changsheng about Jiujiu. This girl looked good and if he could find an easy task for her. Who knew that before she could even speak, Li Jianmin had already sent this girl to the orchard.
To be honest, there really wasn't a place that could compare to the work in the orchard. The lack of sunlight was secondary. The main thing was that the work was relatively easy.
Because she had a good impression of Jiujiu, Aunty Seven took the initiative to tell her about how Jiujiu helped her clean up the house last night.
Aunty Seven's words showed that she had a very good impression of Jiujiu.
The relationship between the villagers was relatively harmonious, and Aunty Seven was well-known in the village for her popularity. Hearing that Aunty Seven said that Jiujiu was good, everyone's attitude towards Jiujiu was naturally much better than that of ordinary educated youths.
Perhaps at the beginning, everyone was a little wary of Jiujiu, but Jiujiu changed people's hearts. Jiujiu was well-behaved, sensible, and discerning. When she encountered something, she took the initiative to do it. Moreover, she was willing to accompany those old people to talk. When she went back in the afternoon, some old people took the initiative to invite Jiujiu to their house to play if she had nothing to do.
Regarding the old people's invitation, Jiujiu said that she would definitely go next time if she had a chance. Then she walked towards the house of the educated youths.
At noon, they ate a big pot of rice, but in the afternoon, they had to do it themselves in the house. When Jiujiu went back, the educated youths who participated in the work were sitting at the door with sweat all over their heads.
Female comrades may also have scruples about their image and sit on the stool, but male comrades did not have so many concerns and sat directly on the ground. They could not wait to stretch out their tongue like a puppy to cool down.
Seeing that Jiujiu came back, especially when she saw that Jiujiu's cheeks were still white and tender, and there was no sweat on her forehead. Thinking of the handsome appearance of Li Jianmin who left with Jiujiu, Xu Mo Li's eyes shone with jealousy.
The land on the mountain was not big, but it was not small either. Because it was a wasteland, it was covered with weeds. More than a dozen people worked from the morning until the afternoon, only to remove the weeds on one piece of land. And the villager who took them there said that after weeding, they still had to hoe the land.
Weeding was so tiring, wouldn't hoeing be exhausting? At the thought of this, Xu Mo Li couldn't wait to faint.
Xu Mo Li was originally a person who couldn't bear to see others better than her. At this moment, seeing that Jiujiu was better than her, her heart was even more hateful. She immediately said, "Li Juan, what did you do today?"
Jiujiu was called out by Li Jianmin in front of everyone. As soon as Xu Mo Li opened her mouth, everyone immediately looked at Jiujiu. Especially when they saw Jiujiu's white face and refreshing appearance, they were even more puzzled.
Whether it was men or women, they were almost exhausted after working for a day. There was no reason that Jiujiu also went out for a day without any traces of work.
Being watched by everyone, Jiujiu replied, "I went to help look after the orchard."
