At this time, Zhang Guihua was wearing a sun hat and carrying a basket in her hand. There were kettles, towels and other things in the basket, which should have been brought to her man.
Xue An saw a middle-aged man working in a small orchard nearby.
That was Zhang Guihua's man, Sheng Fengping.
At the foot of the mountain, there is only so much space suitable for planting orchards. The land contracted by grandma is about ten acres, and the land contracted by Sheng Fengping is estimated to be about one acre. The two families are next to each other, with a walking trail in the middle.
Because it was so close, the income from this orchard was slightly better than that from ordinary crops, so Zhang Guihua wanted to contract this orchard.
This orchard belongs to the village and the contract is for five years. At the end of this season, the contract expires.
When Xue An looked up, he saw Zhang Guihua's big, charming eyes falling on him.
A look of joy that was difficult to conceal instantly appeared in those eyes.
It was as if the cat smelled the fishy smell again.
Zhang Guilan never expected that she would meet Xue An in the fields when she came to deliver water to the man.
Xue An ignored him and continued to immerse himself in dealing with the weeds in the orchard. Although he could absorb some essence into his body now and was not as hot and tired as before, he did not want to stay here any longer.
There was a smile on Zhang Guihua's pretty face, and she looked at Xue An who was working in a daze.
Unknowingly, my eyes started to look straight.
This young man with tender skin and tender flesh has a heroic spirit between his brows, which is much more pleasing to the eye than the rough guy in his family.
In particular, Xue An is also an educated scholar.
Zhang Guihua walked to the orchard and said, "Xue An, it's too hot at noon. Why don't you come and drink some water? I just happened to have a lot of tea with me."
Seeing that Zhang Guihua was so polite, Xue An had already opened the kettle from the basket and poured it into the big bowl next to him. He was too embarrassed to refuse anymore, so he stopped what he was holding, walked over, and picked it up.
Water, drink it.
At this time, it is really comfortable to have a bowl of herbal tea.
The bowl of slurping was over. Zhang Guihua quickly took his bowl, but Zhang Guihua slipped it twice on Xue An's hand intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhang Guihua said with a smile: "Xue An, you have just come back from a big city. You should learn about the things in the farmland here first. Don't be too tired, otherwise you will easily suffer from heatstroke, especially at noon. Look.
Look at you sweating profusely."
After saying that, Zhang Guihua took out a handkerchief of hers, wiped the sweat from Xue An's face, and said distressedly: "How can you do this? Look at your face that is red from the sun. Look at this sweat. You
It’s better not to do it now, and wait until the afternoon when the sun is not so harsh.”
"Sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans, this weeding must be done during the hottest time, so that the weeds can die quickly." Xue An said, thinking that this is common sense.
It’s noon on the day of hoeing.
This is common sense that even elementary school students understand.
"Listen to me and take a rest. I just want to tell you about the contract situation of this orchard." Zhang Guihua said and walked to the shade of a nearby tree.
Xue An didn't want to take a rest at first, but when he heard her talk about the orchard contracting situation, he became a little curious.
Yesterday, I heard at the entrance of the supermarket that Zhang Guihua and his family also wanted to take over this orchard. Currently, Xue An and his family no longer plant any land, so they rely entirely on this orchard for their livelihood.
Sheng Fengping is an honest farmer who usually only knows how to work.
I saw my wife acting a little strange today.
It was obvious that she usually disliked the old lady of the Xue family, and often said bad things about her behind her back.
Why did you give water to their family today?
But it's okay, if the relationship is better, it won't be so embarrassing. Mrs. Xue has helped their family before, and she often asked the old lady for snacks when she was a child.
Fortunately, I can keep my head down and work there.
Indeed, the bright sunshine at noon is a good time to weed. Their orchard is a bit small, but because it is closer to the water source, there are a lot of weeds.
Xue An arrived at the forest and saw Zhang Guihua sitting next to the largest chun tree.
"What are you doing standing there? There's no sun here. Sit down and take a rest." Zhang Guihua moved her buttocks and said to Xue An.
"Sister-in-law Osmanthus Osmanthus, what happened to the contracting thing you said? I remember that our family contracted this orchard when I was a child. Are there any other changes now?" Xue An asked sitting next to her.
Xue An's family moved to Gangsheng Village from outside. This mountain village didn't have much farmland to begin with, so naturally they didn't have much land when they moved there.
At that time, she had no choice but to ask the village for this piece of wasteland. Grandma took Xue An's parents to open up the wasteland bit by bit. It took a year or two to organize it and turn it into an orchard.
Without their home, no one would want such a desolate place.
Zhang Guihua saw Xue An sitting down, far away from her, so she asked Guoyuan about you. She looked at Xue An with a sad look in her eyes, lowered her head and whispered: "Yesterday in the supermarket, my sister-in-law said bad things about you, you heard it, right?
Sister-in-law, I apologize to you. My sister-in-law is not well-educated and she has become accustomed to talking nonsense. Don’t be angry with her."
"Well, I heard her, but it's okay. You don't understand the situation. I won't be angry because of this." Xue An felt relieved after hearing her apology.
Zhang Guihua looked happy, and the sunlight in the shade of the trees fell on her pretty face, which was very moving.
Delicate as a flower.
"As long as you don't be angry with my sister-in-law."
"As for this orchard, you also know that everyone in the village is in a difficult situation now. They are all raising families. Because your grandma takes care of it well, the annual income from this orchard is more than the crop fields, so... so many people are watching now.
By the end of this season, many people are probably asking the village to take over the contract here," Zhang Guihua said.
"Oh, if it's all formal competition, it's okay." Xue An breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the contract is returned, there is a chance.
When the sun was at its most scorching at noon, even if they were in the woods, the heat wave was rolling in, and the breeze would burn their skin. Under such a temperature, both of them were sweating profusely.
Especially Zhang Guihua, who probably has never been so wet, the sweat dripped from her forehead, down her face, and onto her white top.
The clothes were soaked with sweat and clung tightly to the skin.
Faintly.
When Xue An glanced at the corner of his eyes, he could just see the tempting scene.
A man in his early twenties who has never experienced human affairs, meets such a mature and sexy young woman, and at this moment, the clothes are translucent due to sweat, so it is possible for him to truly achieve Liu Xiahui.
Even if it was just out of the corner of his eye, Xue An's face soon turned red and he could only lower his head as much as possible, embarrassed to look at Zhang Guihua.
Seeing this, Zhang Guihua revealed an imperceptible arc at the corner of her mouth.
