Chapter 244 Gu Yanqing works
Gu Jianhua looked at Gu Yanqing who was busy cutting rice in front of him, and he was still confused. He still couldn't figure out why this man went to the countryside.
Gu Yanqing noticed his father's gaze, but he didn't care. He just lowered his head and focused on cutting the rice with the tools in his hands.
Throughout the whole day, Gu Yanqing's ears kept echoing with the uncles and aunts around him, who kept praising the usefulness of the farm tools improved by Shen Zhiqing.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly. These tools really protect the waist and save effort.
Throughout the whole day, Gu Jianhua looked up in the direction of Gu Yanqing from time to time, watching his skillful movements with complicated feelings.
His son had been extremely intelligent since childhood and had always skipped grades in school. Before he turned eighteen, his grandfather sent him to the army on the pretext of training his character.
According to the route they had planned for him, he should be in the army now. How did he end up in this countryside? And exactly where they were?
Could it be that because they were demoted early, the Wei family has not been able to do anything to them, so they reached out to Yan Qing?
Gu Yanqing finished harvesting the last bit of rice for the day and looked up at Gu Jianhua behind him. He knew Gu Jianhua's entanglement and depression in his heart, but he could only remain silent and say nothing.
Just like now, he finished the work in his hands, but couldn't help his father share some of the burden.
Gu Jianhua felt his son's gaze, looked up at him, shook his head slightly, and then continued to work.
Gu Yanqing withdrew his gaze, looked around, then went to find the team leader, recorded the work points, and left the field.
As soon as Gu Yanqing left, the aunts around naturally gathered together to talk.
"Hey, this new young man is really capable. He's already mowing ahead of us! He even finished his work before us!"
"This guy is definitely better at work than the other educated youth, and he's also handsome, but he doesn't like to talk much. If the team leader hadn't spoken to him and he hadn't responded, I would have thought he was mute!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I heard from other educated youth that he didn't talk to them."
"That's right, what's the point of being handsome? He's a dull person. You can't live like that."
"Hey, why do you care whether people like to talk or not? People who don't know would think you are looking for a partner for your Xiaohua!" An aunt joked.
"What are you talking about! My Xiaohua will never date an educated youth! None of these educated youth are reliable. They can't even do the work my Xiaohua can do. They can't even support their families. What's the point of being pretty?"
Xiaohua rolled her eyes and complained, then turned around and went back to work. She was worried that if she continued to get involved with this group of old women, she would get into a fight.
He does not mean that.
When Gu Jianhua heard the women's discussions, his mind was filled with thoughts about his son being a dull person and having difficulty finding a partner.
……
After returning from town, Gu Yanqing parked his bicycle in the corner of the yard and sat aside, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Wang Hongying looked at the man sitting beside her wiping his sweat and couldn't help blushing. She didn't expect that after Lin Yu left, there would be such a handsome new educated youth coming to the countryside.
Most importantly, this person had money. Bicycle tickets are so hard to get. This was only the second day of his trip to the countryside, and he was able to get a brand new bicycle.
Wang Hongying blushed and slowly moved towards Gu Yanqing. Gu Yanqing looked at the female educated youth who came to him shyly and couldn't help frowning.
"Yan...Yan Zhiqing, we have to queue up for food at our Zhiqingyuan, and it takes a long time. I made some extra dinner today, how about you eat with me?"
Wang Hongying blushed and asked in a low voice, not daring to look at Gu Yanqing, staring at the ground.
The educated youth in the yard looked at the movement here and couldn't help but glance over here.
Gu Yanqing felt the gazes from all around him, and his brows furrowed even tighter. He refused in a cold voice, "No need."
If this person hadn't called out "Yan Zhiqing", he would have almost thought that this person was talking to the ground.
Wang Hongying's face darkened when she heard this, and she felt a little disappointed. But seeing the educated youth around her watching the show, she forced a smile and then turned and ran back into the house.
Zhao Xue watched Wang Hongying hurried into the house and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Eating with you? I think the meal you made isn't even enough for you."
Zhou Xiaoli, who was standing nearby, covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled. She whispered, "Maybe she saw the meat soup Yan Zhiqing made last night and wanted to curry favor with him to get some of the meat. She didn't consider that Yan Zhiqing doesn't seem like someone who can get along with people."
Zhao Xue heard this and her eyes fell on Gu Yanqing's bicycle in the corner of the yard. Then she looked at Gu Yanqing again and complained indignantly:
"There's already one person in the Youth League who loves to eat alone, and that's fine, at least he moved out! Now there's another one who loves to eat alone. He made a huge pot of meat, but he takes it out and eats it secretly by himself, not afraid of bursting his stomach!"
Gu Yanqing suddenly turned around, and Zhao Xue's resentful eyes met his. Zhao Xue's heart tightened, and she lowered her head silently.
She felt a little uneasy and suspected that Gu Yanqing had heard what she said, but they were so far away, so maybe she was overthinking it?
Zhou Xiaoli didn't notice Zhao Xue's inappropriate behavior, and she continued to chime in:
"Yes, the smell of meat yesterday made me so greedy that I couldn't sleep well all night. You see, this Yan Zhiqing is really something. He is a newcomer and doesn't know the rules at all. He didn't even know to share some meat with everyone." Zhou Xiaoli shook her head as she spoke.
Zhao Xue nudged Zhou Xiaoli's hand with her elbow and muttered softly, "Be careful not to let him hear you."
Zhou Xiaoli didn't take it seriously and continued, "So what if he heard it? We didn't say anything bad about him. We just said he ate all the food himself. Besides, the other educated youth might not say anything, but who wouldn't want to taste that meat?
"Last night, everyone thought Yan Zhiqing would prepare the meat and give each of us a bowl. But as soon as he finished, he took the bowl and the pot away! He must have been afraid we would ask him for the meat!"
Gu Yanqing withdrew his gaze and frowned even more tightly as he listened to the whispers of the two female educated youth behind him.
He simply stood up, walked quickly into the house, took some things from his bag, and then left the Youth League Home.
Gu Yanqing walked all the way to the back mountain. From a distance, he saw a group of people in the river, bending over and trying to catch something.
