"The comrade who took me to the orchard today, said that there were some things that he didn't explain clearly." Jiujiu explained vaguely.
Hearing that it was today ah, Li Jianmin who took Jiujiu to the orchard, Xu Mo Li's eyes couldn't help shaking. Although she didn't look down on those farmers in the countryside, Xu Mo Li had to admit that Li Jianmin was really good-looking.
Unlike those white-faced scholars, Li Jianmin's face was a bit dark, but whether it was his appearance or his figure, he gave off a sense of security at first glance. If he wasn't an educated youth from the countryside, Xu Mo Li wouldn't mind falling in love with him, but unfortunately … …
After Xu Mo Li secretly regretted for a while, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Because she was busy all day today, Xu Mo Li didn't mind that the bed board was too hard and the bedding was too thin. After closing her eyes for less than five minutes, Jiujiu heard Xu Mo Li's even breathing.
When Xu Mo Li fell asleep, Jiujiu yawned, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the next half a month, the educated youths went to open the land on the mountain every day, while Jiujiu stayed in the orchard.
As the saying goes, time reveals a person's heart. Jiujiu was considerate of those old people. She would do everything in the orchard by herself, unless it was something that she couldn't do alone, she would never bother a second person.
Jiujiu treated the old people in the orchard with sincerity, and the old people were naturally willing to treat Jiujiu with sincerity.
After half a month, most people in the village knew that there was a well-behaved girl named Li Juan among the educated youths who came this time. Not only was she good-looking and kind-hearted, but the most important thing was that she didn't have the habit of looking down on people like other educated youths.
When the other educated youths saw them, they all looked down on them with their noses in the air, but Li Juan talked to them in a gentle tone, which warmed their hearts.
Half a month later, the educated youths had pulled out all the grass on the hilltop. They also used hoes to turn over the land and even planted seeds. They were waiting for the corn harvest in the autumn.
Because she had been busy under the sun for more than half a month and didn't have enough food every day, Xu Mo Li not only had a dark complexion but also lost a lot of weight, and her face had been red because of the sun all year round. If it weren't for the arrogance on her face, she would really be no different from a rural woman. On the contrary, Jiujiu stayed in the orchard to do the easiest work, and the orchard had leaves all year round, so she couldn't bask in the sun at all, not to mention the white mantou that Li Jianmin fed every night. After half a month, Jiujiu not only didn't lose weight, but also gained weight.
Because Li Juan's body bones were originally thin, after Jiujiu gained weight, some baby fat grew on her cheeks, which made her look even more beautiful. Every time Li Jianmin looked for Jiujiu, he couldn't help but take another look.
After Jiujiu made dinner this day, Li Jianmin ran to find Jiujiu again.
After seeing Li Jianmin coming, Jiujiu went out. Xu Mo Li spat and said to the educated youth sitting next to her: "Look, people are going to climb up the branch."
After this period of time, Xu Mo Li already knew that Li Jianmin was the son of the captain.
After suffering so much, especially waving a hoe in the field under the hot sun, Xu Mo Li was almost tortured to death. Especially after knowing that Li Jianmin was the son of the captain, the man with the most power in the village, Xu Mo Li had some different thoughts.
Although it was shameful to marry a rural person, Li Jianmin looked good and was the son of the captain. She heard that he had his own ability. During this time, a lot of people knew about Li Jianmin's house building. Especially after the villagers said that the money to build the house was earned by Li Jianmin himself, Xu Mo Li's mind was very active.
In this era, to be able to earn the money to build a brick house, even some people in the city couldn't do it, but Li Jianmin did it. What did this mean? It meant that Li Jianmin was more capable than some men in the city. If she really married him, her life would definitely be better than in the city.
It's just that Xu Mo Li figured it out, but she hadn't figured out how she was going to meet Li Jianmin by chance. Li Jianmin came to Jiujiu every day without fail.
Every time Li Jianmin came, he would not come empty-handed. He would either bring some food or a flower handkerchief. One was the bottle of vanishing cream that Li Jianmin gave to Jiujiu last time. Xu Mo Li's eyes were red with jealousy.
That was vanishing cream ah, so much money for such a small thing. Li Jianmin said that he would give it away, and thinking of Jiujiu's white and tender face in the orchard all year round, and then thinking of her red cheeks when she saw herself in the water, Xu Mo Li's heart was tormented.
The other two female educated youths heard Xu Mo Li say that Jiujiu was climbing up a branch. Although they also felt that it was not good for Jiujiu to be so close to the villagers when she just came, it had nothing to do with them if she was willing to marry a villager, so they just laughed and didn't follow Xu Mo Li's words.
Xu Mo Li just wanted to vent her unhappiness. Seeing that the other party didn't follow her words, she didn't take it to heart.
After Xu Mo Li snorted, she looked at Li Jianmin and Jiujiu, who were standing not far away and saying this.
During this time, Li Jianmin came to Jiujiu every night. At first, he just gave her a white steamed bun. Later, when Jiujiu was willing to talk to him, he gave Jiujiu the things he bought for Jiujiu when he went to the county.
Whether it was a handkerchief, a scarf, or vanishing cream, they were all particularly scarce in this era, not to mention that what Li Jianmin bought was the best and most expensive.
Li Jianmin looked at Jiujiu, whose skin was still white and tender, standing opposite him, pursed his dry lips, looked at Jiujiu and whispered, "Li Juan, would you like to be my partner?"
After Li Jianmin said this, he only felt that his heart stopped beating. Li Jianmin lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Jiujiu and said, "Although I am a countryman, I am willing to work hard. As long as you are willing to marry me, I will save two people's work points and let you stay at home every day. I will buy you whatever you want to eat. What do you think?"
After Li Jianmin finished speaking, he only felt that his back was wet with sweat. When he thought that Jiujiu would reject him, Li Jianmin's heart was very nervous.
Hearing what Li Jianmin said, Jiujiu blinked and said, "Okay."
