Chapter 128 Get to work!
At six in the morning, before the first rays of sunlight penetrated the mist, a crisp "knock knock knock" sounded in the quiet air. "Xiaoxiao, get up and go to work."
Mo Liyuan's voice, gentle yet with a hint of undeniable firmness, penetrated Lu Xiaoli's dream.
She suddenly woke up, her eyes still a little confused, and she mumbled in a daze: "Go to work? What work?"
Outside the door, Mo Liyuan's voice came again, with a bit of concern: "I made porridge, get up and drink some quickly, it's almost time to go to work."
Only then did she realize that she had gone to the countryside!
She quickly responded, "I'm coming, I'll be up soon!" After changing into simple clothes, she opened the door and was greeted by Mo Liyuan's warm gaze.
"Remember to eat your porridge and eggs, and do your best when you go to work. I will help you."
Mo Liyuan's words were like a spring breeze, warming Lu Xiaoli's heart. She smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Mo!"
Just as the two were talking, Zhao Pandidi's voice came from far away. Seeing this, Mo Liyuan hurriedly climbed over the wall and left quietly, leaving behind a faint figure.
After Lu Xiaoli finished washing up, he tasted the porridge and eggs one by one, then changed into trousers that were in line with the style of the era and put on a thick coat.
Autumn in the north has brought a bit of chill. She gently curled her long hair and tied it into a playful bun, looking neat and cute.
After seeing this, Zhao Pandi praised her repeatedly, praising everything from her skin to her clothes.
The two of them walked hand in hand towards the brigade assembly point, ready to pick up today's work tools.
Along the way, Lu Xiaoli attracted the attention of many second-rate people because of his temperament and appearance that were incompatible with this era.
Every step she took was graceful, and even on a country road, she looked like a model walking on the catwalk, becoming a unique landscape.
The young wives and old ladies all kept their eyes on their men, fearing that they would be seduced by this vixen.
What's worse, some people pointed fingers at her and said bad things to her behind her back.
"Look, that's the new educated youth. Look at her, she walks in a twisted way. You can tell she's not a serious person."
"Yeah, I don't know why people like this come to our village. They'll fall down if the wind blows."
"But this girl has a great figure, and is a good match for my Erdan. Look at her butt and her nipples. She must be good at giving birth."
These gossips are like the cold wind in autumn, biting and cold.
However, Mo Liyuan did not go far. He hid behind the crowd and remembered all those gossipers in his mind.
Suddenly, a few young girls came to Mo Liyuan, raised their heads shyly, and whispered, "Brother Mo, why are you here to work too?"
Mo Liyuan just hummed coldly and said nothing.
An older woman came over and asked, "Xiao Mo? Aren't you supposed to be off work? Why is the sun rising from the west today?"
"Other young wives blushed when they saw Mo Liyuan. He is really tall and handsome, but his family is too poor!"
Just then, a familiar figure rushed over with an egg in his hand.
"Comrade Lu Xiaoxiao, wait a minute, this egg was cooked by my mother. Here, I give it to you!" Li Erzhu shouted as he ran, with a bit of shyness and nervousness on his face.
Lu Xiaoli looked back and recognized the man under the tree that day. He then politely shook his head and refused: "Sorry, I don't know you, and I've already eaten."
Li Erzhu's face flushed red immediately, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do: "Xiaoxiao comrade, you eat it. I will bring it back to you tomorrow."
Seeing this, Zhao Pandi stood in front of Lu Xiaoli and shouted angrily, "We Xiaoxiao don't even know you, why are you giving me eggs? Go away!"
Mo Liyuan clenched his fists, feeling mixed emotions, but he didn't have the status to stand out.
Seeing this, the other educated youth also began to whisper.
"Look, you're just here and you're already seducing men. How shameless."
"Chunmei, please stop talking. Didn't you hear they don't even know each other?"
Chen Lixin awkwardly put away the eggs that he had intended to give to Lu Xiaoli. It seemed that he couldn't give them away today.
Everyone came to the brigade's threshing ground to receive their respective work assignments.
The captain stood on the stage and gave a passionate speech, saying that this was the last harvest of grain and that we could hibernate for the winter.
Then he said a lot of things, but Lu Xiaoli didn't hear a word of it. He just felt extremely bored and even dozed off.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, the captain finally ended his long speech.
Lu Xiaoli was assigned the task of breaking corn, and seeing this, Zhao Pandi volunteered to teach her this farm work. Upon hearing this, the team leader readily agreed.
When they arrived at their respective work areas, Lu Xiaoli looked at the vast cornfield in front of her and couldn't help feeling sad.
She had never participated in such physical labor. In modern society, she was used to the efficient harvesting of industrial machines.
At this moment, she had nothing in her hands, not even a pair of gloves, and could only let the sharp edges of the corn leaves cut her hands, causing unbearable pain.
Just as Lu Xiaoli was trying hard to hold back her tears and was about to grit her teeth and persevere, Mo Liyuan's figure slowly walked into her sight.
He gently took her hand and examined it, whispering, "Silly girl, these leaves will scratch your hand."
Lu Xiaoli looked up and saw Mo Liyuan's eyes full of concern. Tears of grievance instantly welled up in his eyes: "Brother, my hand hurts."
Mo Liyuan blew gently on the back of her hand with a distressed look on his face, and said softly, "Don't cry, just rest here. If you see someone coming, call me, and I'll help you with the rest."
Lu Xiaoli felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he watched his strong and powerful arms quickly breaking the corn.
From time to time, I would go over and wipe his sweat. Is Brother Mo tired? Is Brother Mo thirsty? Brother Mo... Brother Mo...
Zhao Pandi: "I can't hear you. I can't hear anything. Why did I come here? Woo woo woo, this is just dog food."
Lu Xiaoli sat on the small mat that Mo Liyuan had laid out for her. Not long after, she felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep.
When Mo Liyuan returned from work, he saw a petite figure curled up on a small cushion, sleeping soundly.
He shook his head helplessly, feeling both pity and amusement in his heart: "This girl is really careless. What if someone with bad intentions comes?"
He walked quietly to her side and gently woke her up: "Xiaoxiao, it's time to get off work. Get up and go home to sleep. It's easy to catch a cold here."
Lu Xiaoli rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched out his hands in a daze: "Husband, hold me to sleep."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Mo Liyuan's mind.
He looked at Lu Xiaoli in disbelief: "She called me husband? Does this mean...she acknowledges me?"
He picked her up carefully, and fortunately the cornfield provided cover for them so that they were not discovered.
Zhao Pandi covered his eyes and quietly passed by, muttering, "Can't see me, can't see me!"
Mo Liyuan's voice sounded at the right time: "Zhao Pandi, go to the scorekeepers and report Xiaoxiao's work points. Tell her that she has completed her task for today and doesn't need to come in the afternoon."
Zhao Pandi quickly nodded in agreement, then quickly fled from this blushing and heart-pounding scene.
All the workers have left one after another to go home to cook and eat.
The 1.9-meter-tall Mo Liyuan held Lu Xiaoli tightly in his arms and covered him with his big coat.
She looked particularly petite in his broad arms, and from the outside it was impossible to tell that Mo Liyuan was holding someone.
He returned to the house and gently placed her on the kang, then went to the kitchen to prepare a meal for her.
Lu Xiaoli didn't know how long he slept. He dreamed that Mo Liyuan and Qi Yan were having dinner with her, and the three of them lived happily together.
Until a fragrance fills the nose.
"Xiaoxiao, get up and eat, otherwise you will be hungry!" Mo Liyuan's voice was still gentle.
Lu Xiaoli stood up and looked around, asking in confusion: "Isn't I at work? Why did you go home?"
Mo Liyuan smiled and scratched her nose: "Little lazy cat, have you forgotten? I have already helped you finish the work. You don't need to go again today."
Lu Xiaoli's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really? Brother Mo, you are so awesome! Then let's go to the mountain to pick wild fruits!" Mo Liyuan agreed to her request lovingly.
Mo Liyuan fed her tirelessly until she was full, and he naturally took care of the rest of the meal.
The two of them were ready and walked towards the back mountain!
