Chapter 1137

~8 min read 1,402 words

The two of them moved around in the small space of the bamboo forest, their hoes waving cautiously and carefully, very inefficiently.

But, they couldn't help it, there were just too many bamboo shoots coming out!

With one hoe down, as long as you broke the soil layer, you would always see one or two shoot tips.

With Xin Jun's uneven technique, he had already gathered five or six bamboo shoot tips.

Fortunately, Song Song Sancheng didn't mind: "It's okay, it's okay, aren't they still here? After we take them back, let Seventh Great-Uncle soak these dug-up shoots in red oil, and you can take them home to eat."

Song Song Sancheng felt he had thought very thoroughly. After all, during the New Year, every household has fish and meat, so eating some small pickles to relieve the greasiness is just right!

But Xin Jun's eyes blurred, imagining himself carrying a sack of winter shoots while holding two glass jars, filled to the brim with red oil-soaked shoots...

Looking at his palms again, to be honest, for someone who hasn't done farm work, with a few more hoes, blisters would be rubbed out!

But if he said he didn't want them, he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

The two of them messed around for a while, and the shoulder pole outside the bamboo forest was full. Young people couldn't do this kind of carrying work at all, so Xin Jun could only hold the hoe and follow blankly behind to go back.

He washed his hands again and looked at the busy crowd, asking, "What can I do?"

"You didn't see that Zhang Zhang Yanping sent me the message first!"

In this way, the sorrow of parting was faded, because they still had to pack shoots, peel shoot shells, and prepare to process them in the afternoon!

As a result, when they arrived at Yunqiao Village, Song Tan was fine; she was always carefree and did what she thought of. But Lai Lai Zemei...

"Take the winter shoots back for the family to taste; you can make whatever flavor you want. But if you want to take them with you, with security checks and shipping, I'm afraid you won't be able to get them back."

Lai Lai Zemei:?!!!

"But what about girls? From the moment I felt moved, I'm afraid the future life, both families, and work and career... all have to be considered."

Teacher Tang spoke gently, and it was rare for his tone to be so peaceful:

"No." Yan Ping looked steady: "I made an appointment for you to meet at the clinic at three o'clock. It's just past one now, you can still wash your hair, take a bath, and tidy up."

Seeing the other person return, he quickly leaned over and whispered: "You say, how can I tell Zhang Zhang Yanping, I wasn't before..."

Seeing him turn and run upstairs, Yan Ping sighed and shook his head—some people, they look smooth and know the business world inside out, but in reality, they can't even figure out if they like someone or not...

Yan Ping thought to herself, I'm so tired my hands are about to blister, and you're here talking about love?

Because of the pile of shoots Song Song Sancheng dumped on the ground, Professor Song and the others were all interested—can digging shoots be called labor? It's clearly the fun of the mountains and forests!

Once this was said, Lai Lai Zemei thought it was true, so he subconsciously took the hoe: "Then you have to solve it well! You tell me, it's too sudden, I'm not ready yet, it's not..."

"Matters of the heart are like a person drinking water; if you have any thoughts, you two should talk face-to-face. Big man, don't be so wishy-washy..."

Tsk!

"For example, in love, you boys think the other person is beautiful and fits your heart, and as long as the gap isn't too big, you will actively pursue them."

Zhang Zhang Yanping, that useless guy, was still struggling with whether to go talk face-to-face.

He was a bit conflicted, always feeling that everyone who arrived at Yunqiao Village had a different mentality.

The only regret was that everyone could only take whole winter shoots back, which was also suggested by Seventh Great-Uncle:

Winter shoots are sturdy; if they fall, bump, or get pressed, it's actually not a big problem. But if they were made into semi-finished products and clattered all the way, that would be a big problem.

Just as he was struggling, he saw Teacher Tang looking at him with a smile: "Can't figure it out?"

Wu Lan was peeling the shoot shells one by one, and hearing this, she looked at him with a smile: "Not busy, you tell me first, what is Xin Jun going to do?"

When Song Song Sancheng finally sighed and said it was enough, no more digging, Dr. Guo was truly relieved.

Yan Ping watched him about to speak, but sighed: "Those who haven't been in love are just greenhorns... you let me reply for you properly, or make people sad, and you didn't say you didn't like her?"

"No matter what girls do, in fact, they have no less courage than men. It's just that our minds are more detailed and we consider more problems, so by comparison, we seem conflicted and hesitant."

"Little Xin. You tell Xin Jun, it seems Lai Lai Zemei has no objections. Since he has a good fate, don't miss it because of being wishy-washy."

But, Lai Lai Zemei had been gone for the whole afternoon.

What's more, these winter shoots were all distributed to them!

So even Master Jiang followed and picked up a hoe, and everyone talked and laughed in the bamboo forest, shouting, and Dr. Guo was caught in the middle, it was really hard to be thick-skinned and not do anything!

Dr. Guo couldn't care less about winter shoots; while everyone was helping to clean up the broken shoots, he quickly leaned over to Yan Ping, his eyes full of expectation:

Just as he was wondering, he heard Wu Lan laugh: "What are you hiding? Zhang Zhang Yanping already asked Tan Tan about your aunt... if there wasn't something going on, why would she ask those things for no reason?"

Yan Ping:...

"Okay, okay, okay." Yan Ping nodded repeatedly: "You go ahead!"

"What about after the pursuit? Future life, just take it one step at a time, it doesn't matter."

Woo woo woo, fairy proprietor!

The only ones who didn't feel it were probably Yan Ran and the others; as reserve employees, they hadn't been assigned specific field arrangements yet, and they wandered around after every meal...

No, you let me solve it for you properly, and you just...

He was embarrassed to say it, but with Dr. Guo's face, being wishy-washy really didn't look right! It was unbearable to look at.

Now that there was work, he had to work hard!

"How is it? Was she sad?"

He couldn't not go back; if he didn't, his palms would really get shiny blisters—let Zhang Zhang Yanping come!

To be honest, he still remembers the look of that fair-skinned girl who looked like she was only in her twenties, falling headlong into the courtyard!

Dr. Guo grunted: "That... that's also..."

So he raised an eyebrow: "Don't talk about those irrelevant things. Just say if you're interested or not? Refuse or not?"

"Okay." Yan Ping smiled and handed over the hoe: "You go help everyone dig some shoots, and I'll arrange it for you—don't worry, can't you trust me?"

Dr. Guo's face turned red, and he grunted: "That, that's so hurtful..."

But he couldn't tell his elders this, and he was afraid of being mocked by Tan Tan, so after thinking about it, it had to be Yan Ping, the dog-headed strategist!

"It's right that you can't figure it out."

Lai Ze:... I shouldn't have let anything slip!

Fortunately, he had experience digging shoots in the spring, and his strength was greater than Yan Ping's, so he finally dug out a small hill with everyone.

For example, how come in love, it's always the girls who have courage and are proactive? In the past, when I was in school, it wasn't all boys who were more enthusiastic and proactive, but for the most part, it was like that.
