Chapter 142: High-ranking educated youth and the poor crying baby (6)
Zhou Yan was bending over to dig a canal at the other end of the field when he heard the commotion here and had no idea what was going on.
"Zhou Zhiqing, something seems to have happened over there."
The person next to him was standing and could vaguely see something.
Zhou Yan was not interested in joining in the fun, so he bent down and continued digging.
He seemed to have endless energy, and even the young and middle-aged men in the village who worked all year round could not catch up with his speed.
Seeing that he had no interest, the young man could only mutter to himself,
"Ruan Zhiqing is so pitiful..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man felt a large black shadow passing by him like the wind, and Zhou Yan disappeared in an instant.
He scratched his head in confusion and muttered to himself:
This Zhou Zhiqing really likes to change his face...
When Zhou Yan ran over, he saw that dazzlingly pretty little face turned pale, with eyes so red that it looked like she was about to cry at any time, looking so pitiful.
When I lowered my head, I saw those two horrible looking calves.
Zhou Yan frowned, and his already sharp features became even more fierce.
Those who were unaware of the situation thought he was going to scold Ruan Zhiqing and were ready to rush over to try to persuade him.
The next moment, their eyes widened suddenly, looking in disbelief at the ferocious-looking, cold-blooded man who was striding towards Ruan Zhiqing, squatting down and carefully checking her condition.
Ruan Guannan also thought that he was here to scold him, and was ready to scold him back.
She could see him squatting beside her, taking off his outer coat and tying it around her calves with quick movements.
The heart that had been holding on tightly collapsed in an instant, and the feeling of fear gradually spread.
The tears that had been accumulating in his eyes for a long time could no longer be held back and fell down with a crackling sound.
Zhou Yan frowned and looked carefully at the thing on her leg. His usually calm heart couldn't help but tighten his breath.
"Bear with me."
After saying that, he exerted a little strength and slapped the area near the leech with his hands.
After a while, the leech slowly fell off.
Zhou Yan used the same method to quickly clean up all the leeches.
Then he checked carefully several times, and only after confirming that it was gone did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He raised his head and was about to speak when a drop of water hit his eyes unexpectedly, and his vision became blurred instantly.
Zhou Yan subconsciously blinked to brush away the water droplets.
Only then did he see that the girl's cheeks were covered with tear marks, the tip of her straight and beautiful nose was red, and her eyes were clear and bright as if washed with water. She was looking down at him pitifully.
The originally pink and plump lips were bitten tightly by the teeth, as if trying to stop the sobs and tears that were about to overflow.
Zhou Yan's deep pupils suddenly shrank, and he was at a loss what to do when he saw her pitiful and lovely appearance.
My already tense heart couldn't help but make a buzzing sound, as if something was silently breaking out of the ground.
Even though a few more drops of water fell, Zhou Yan still did not dodge. He let those "pearls" fall on his face, secretly feeling the faint scorching heat.
Ruan Guannan saw the tear marks on his face and blushed in embarrassment.
She subconsciously rubbed the towel on her wrist across his face to wipe away the water marks.
After wiping it, she realized that this action was a little too intimate. Her face instantly turned red and she quickly looked away, not daring to look at his expression.
Zhou Yan was also stunned for a moment. His heartbeat quickened by the elegant fragrance of her scent that hit him in the face, and the tips of his ears hidden under his black hair turned red and hot unconsciously.
He quickly lowered his head, pretending to examine her legs, and didn't dare look up again.
Ruan Guannan felt a little uncomfortable with her staring at his calves, and subconsciously took a few steps back to create some distance.
Zhou Yan stood up and prepared to go back to work.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"Just in case, take some time off and go back to apply some medicine to prevent infection."
Before Ruan Guannan could say anything, Liu Meng'er, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't help but speak loudly:
"Ruan Zhiqing, it is normal to be bitten by leeches while transplanting rice. The comrades in the village are used to it. You are really too squeamish.
Look at Comrade Wang's legs, isn't he bitten by leeches as well?"
Hearing her words, everyone's eyes subconsciously moved to Wang Zijun's legs. Sure enough, there were several leeches clinging to her legs and drinking her blood, and some had even drilled into her legs.
Ruan Guannan got goosebumps when he saw this, but he didn't refute Liu Meng'er's words and looked away reluctantly.
Wang Zijun's leg condition is indeed much more serious than hers.
When Liu Meng'er saw that she didn't say anything, she thought Ruan Guannan was guilty and became even more angry.
"We educated youth came here to support the countryside and strengthen our will. You can't even endure this little hardship. You really bring shame to us educated youth."
Liu Meng'er really hated Ruan Guannan, who acted like a spoiled young lady and confused the people at the educated youth center and the village.
She really didn't understand. Didn't she just have a pretty face?
What’s the point of having good looks now? You can’t carry anything on your shoulders or lift anything with your hands. Can you eat your fill just by looking at your face?
These men are really blind.
Especially Zhou Yan, who acted fierce and cold to other people, but why did he treat Ruan Guannan differently and be gentle and considerate?
Is he also such a superficial man?
Zhou Yan, who was blamed by Liu Meng'er in his heart, suddenly became gloomy when he heard what she said.
The darkness in his eyes was unclear, yet chillingly cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.
Then, he nodded as if in agreement.
"Comrade Liu has such a high level of ideological awareness, which is really admirable. Comrade Scoring, educated youth Liu is devoted to rural development without seeking rewards, so you should wipe out all her work points.
Otherwise, Liu Zhiqing might think you are insulting her noble sentiments."
As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers nearby all looked at Liu Meng'er with admiration and praised her highly.
Liu Meng'er's pride froze on her face in an instant. Listening to the praises around her, she opened and closed her mouth for a long time before she opened her mouth stiffly and said dryly:
"Haha, it's true that we support the countryside, but I also need to eat, and these work points..."
Zhou Yan nodded in understanding.
"Comrade Liu is so noble, we can't slander you. In the next week, you can take four days to do voluntary labor, and you can get work points as usual on the other three days. This way, we can have the best of both worlds."
The villagers hoped that these educated youth would eat less and work more, so of course they agreed wholeheartedly.
The scorer was also a villager. Seeing that everyone suggested this and Liu Meng'er herself had no objection, he simply turned a blind eye.
Liu Meng'er's good impression of Zhou Yan disappeared instantly, and her disgust for him was almost the same as Ruan Guannan's.
Zhou Yan and Ruan Guannan didn't take her seriously at all, and her dislike meant nothing.
At this time, a villager whispered:
"Zijun's leg was also bitten. Zhou Zhiqing, please take a look at her as well."
Only then did people remember that Wang Zijun was still being scratched by leeches.
Wang Zijun came back to his senses, and his originally handsome and bright face now looked a little pale.
After hearing what the villagers said, Wang Zijun looked at the tall and handsome man with some anticipation.
In her previous life, when she saw Zhou Yan being praised and admired by the whole nation, she also developed admiration and respect for the hero in her heart.
Now, this hero was standing in front of her as an equal. Her heart suddenly became extremely nervous, and a hint of expectation unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
Zhou Yan glanced at the person who was speaking, his eyes were cold, and he said in a cold voice:
"Didn't you see everything just now? Go and help. I have such a big appetite, I can't do without work points."
After saying that, he picked up the shovel and went to dig the canal without looking back.
The expectation on Wang Zijun's face slowly faded, and he returned to his original calmness.
Zhao Mingze glanced around and said softly:
"I just saw Zhou Zhiqing's move. Let me give it a try."
As soon as Wang Zijun saw him, he remembered the sorrow of his previous life.
She felt even more disgusted by his hypocritical face, so she turned around and left without saying a word.
Zhao Mingze was instantly embarrassed. He was confused by Wang Zijun's inconsistent attitude and couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
