The four of them had just had dinner when the silent sky suddenly thundered, the wind blew fiercely, and the rain poured down from the sky for more than an hour.

Bai Lingyan said happily, "Uncle, aunt, this rain is so good and timely, it will be able to penetrate the ground, and it will not affect the dealer if it doesn't rain for ten days or eight days." Early tomorrow morning, go to the field to take a look, and you can also pull out some of the excess seedlings in the field and replant them in the place where the seedlings are lacking. ”

Xiao Junniang said with a smile, "The children who come out of the countryside are different, they know everything, and they can do anything." If you are there in the future, we will never have to worry about it again. Girl, you're tired of the day, rest early. Xiaojun, put a basin and wash his feet and brought it to Lingyan. ”

Wu Xiaojun flattered and said, "Swallow, let's go!" ”

Bai Lingyan asked while washing her feet, "Xiaojun, my sister-in-law came back today and urged you to report to the Personnel Bureau, when are you going to go?" ”

Wu Xiaojun said lightly, "I haven't thought about it yet, wait!" ”

Bai Lingyan whispered, "Don't wait, go early, it's late, it will affect the unit's arrangement." ”

Wu Xiaojun looked at Bai Lingyan and said, "If your problem is not solved for a day, I don't have the heart to report for a day." ”

Bai Lingyan said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry about me in advance, I'll arrange you later." ”

Wu Xiaojun said depressedly, "How can it be done, if your business has no results for a day, I won't go to report for a day to go through the formalities." ”

Bai Lingyan said very strictly, "Do you want us to have no careers, this is not what I want, my uncle and aunt worked hard to raise you and provide you with school, isn't it just to let you have a job and get ahead." If you go on like this, it's not a problem to stay at home and farm all the time, and my uncle and aunt are worried and don't say anything, and I feel uneasy. As long as you have a job, there is a solution to our affairs, and everything is easy to say. Be obedient and go through the formalities as much as possible. If you insist on not going, I will not force it, so I will have to leave here. ”

Wu Xiaojun laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll listen to you, can't you go!" Don't think so much and rest early. He kissed her on the forehead and turned to leave.

Last night's rain was indeed not small, the pits that were dry on weekdays were all filled with water, the drought in the ground disappeared, everything was revitalized, the crops that drank the rain all night grew a lot, and the withered yellow earth put on green clothes and regained vitality.

Early the next morning, Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan walked out of the house and stepped on the muddy village road to the ground.

The soil of the plains is weak, not as stiff as the mountains, and the rain is more damp, Bai Lingyan stepped into the ground with great interest, and the whole foot sank in, and the shoes could not be pulled out as if they were welded by the soil.

Wu Xiaojun smiled hesitantly, "I didn't expect it, isn't it fun." ”

Bai Lingyan deliberately said angrily, "But come and help me, and you're still stealing fun on the side." ”

Wu Xiaojun said proudly, "Do your own things by yourself, and don't make trouble for others." ”

Bai Lingyan looked at a few barefoot women planting corn in the field next to her and smiled, and said a little embarrassedly, "Xiaojun, don't play poor, others look at me." ”

Wu Xiaojun grabbed Bai Lingyan's hand and pulled her up, "This end of this land is silt, it was just watered yesterday, and then it rained heavily, so you definitely can't go in." Let's go to other plots and take a look, it will be better if it is not watered. ”

Bai Lingyan gently picked the mud on her feet with a branch, raised her eyes to look at the corn seedlings in the ground, thought for a while and said, "The corn in this field gets water before other plots, and the seedlings grow bigger, so it would be better to pull some and plant them in other fields first." ”

Wu Xiaojun said, "You still want to fall into it again!" ”

Bai Lingyan said, "The land here is relatively hygienic, there are no bricks, tiles, stones, broken glass or anything like that, and there are no feet." I didn't have any experience just now, and it's not good to jump in with my shoes on, and it's definitely okay to be barefoot. ”

Wu Xiaojun said, "Since you're not afraid, I didn't say anything, let's pull out the seedlings." ”

The two of them carefully went down to the ground, spent more than an hour pulling out more than 300 corn seedlings, and regardless of the mud on the roots of the seedlings sticking to the short-sleeved shirts, they directly carried them to another field, squatted down and replanted the blank places one by one along the ridges of the ground.

This qiē, Jona, who was planting corn nearby, saw it really well, and her heart was very uncomfortable. She looked down silently for a long time, and said in her heart that Xiaojun's daughter-in-law didn't look like a college student at all, and she was really good at doing crop work. Some time ago, there was a lot of uproar, saying that it was completely yellow, I don't know what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd, why did it suddenly pop up again, there was no sense of rustiness at all, and it looked like they were not walking in this home. She is very different from Zhu Chunyan, she is both a college student and a farmer, she is not a stranger to the land, and she seems to have a certain feeling, but she is not easy to fool. If she were here, she would have to wait another three or five years for the duck to arrive, even if it didn't fly. No, I'll have to get to the bottom of her first.

Qiao Na has been playing her own little abacus for a long time, and she has formed a deep bond with Wu Xiaojun, and she has been suffering from his flesh and skin more than once, and she is always a little stunned when she sees him, and she doesn't dare to face him at all. When he had the opportunity to pull seedlings from the middle of the ground, he walked up to Bai Lingyan and said pretendly, "The daughter-in-law of the army is really capable, look at how neatly the corn you planted, and the distance is exactly the same as measuring with a ruler." ”

Bai Lingyan didn't know who Qiao Na was, seeing her dark face with contempt, and her speech was yin and yang, which made people feel goosebumps all over her body, and felt a little disgusting and annoyed in her heart, and glanced at her without words.

Qiao Na continued to say in a teased tone, "I am the sister-in-law of Xiaojun, and we are concubines." Although you have just arrived, everyone knows about the big celebrities in our village. You are not like me, you don't know a single word, you are born to wait for the life of the ground, a learned person, your third brother will find you a good job, and you will earn a lot of money, if you are like me, it will be too condescending. ”

The more Bai Lingyan listened, the more unhappy she became, and said in her heart What kind of person is this, what a rough person, she doesn't look at the object when she speaks, and she said angrily, "I'm bored, I don't have time to listen to you say something inexplicable, don't delay my work." After saying that, he stood up with the corn seedlings and walked to the other end of the ground, put Joanna in a big nest of roast chicken, and walked away boringly.

Wu Xiaojun saw Qiao Na and Bai Lingyan talking from a distance, and muttered in his heart, this shrew dog can't spit out ivory in her mouth, and she doesn't know what she is talking nonsense again. When he got closer, he asked, "The person who talked to you just now is sister-in-law Jona, seeing that you two are quite hot, how do you feel about that person?" ”

Bai Lingyan said indignantly, "It's just a brainless yellow-faced woman, and it's not worth paying attention to her at all." ”

Wu Xiaojun said, "She's the kind of person who doesn't attract people's hate, don't mind." ”

The two took advantage of the moisture to make up for all the lack of seedlings in the field, and worked for two days, and then there were two showers, so they rested at home for three or four days.

Seeing that the end of July was approaching, under the urging of Bai Lingyan, Wu Xiaojun went to the Dafen Office of the Pingdong City Personnel Bureau to go through the registration procedures. At ten o'clock, Wu Xiaojun just came out of the Municipal Branch Office with a letter of introduction to the Yuanzhen County Personnel Bureau, and met Shao Yingying head-on, seeing that her face was yellow, her spirit was a little sluggish, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, she couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Yingzi, are you not sick, how can you be haggard?" ”

Shao Yingying nodded depressedly and said, "Yes, I had an acute pancreatitis some time ago and stayed in the hospital for more than ten days, so I delayed the registration. You're here to go through the formalities, why are you so late? Is it done, Shun lì? ”

Wu Xiaojun said worriedly, "It's very simple, register here, open a letter of introduction to the county, and it's over." What's the matter with you, why are you sick, you must pay attention in the future. ”

Shao Yingying smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, it's all right." Didn't you come back a long time ago, why did you come to go through the formalities? ”

Wu Xiaojun said in embarrassment, "I am very troubled, I have never thought of not wanting to come, and I have delayed it until today." Don't talk about this, come with me and get down to business first. ”

The two came out of the Municipal Personnel Bureau, and Wu Xiaojun asked with concern, "Are you used to being here, and how are Auntie and Uncle Luo?" ”

Shao Yingying said lightly, "I haven't been here for less than a week, I feel okay, the climate is not too dry, it is more convenient to travel or anything, there is nothing unsuitable." With me by their side, they are no longer lonely, they are very happy and their bodies are good. ”

Wu Xiaojun said happily, "Very good, I heard that you were coming here before, and I was always worried that you would not be able to adapt to it, but now it seems that I am too worried." You are the first time to Pingdong, you will inevitably come to do things in the future, the time is still early, I will accompany you to walk around the city and familiarize yourself with the environment. ”

Shao Yingying nodded.

The two took the bus along Kaixuan Avenue to the commercial street near Songyuan Square and walked around, and then walked into the Kaixuan Commercial Building, Shao Yingying particularly likes a style of dress, Wu Xiaojun said without hesitation, "Yingzi, this style is very suitable for you, it is absolutely beautiful to wear, if you like it, take it, and bring me the light red with plum blossoms." ”

Shao Yingying asked puzzled, "What do you want a skirt for?" ”

Wu Xiaojun smiled bitterly, "I can't go back empty-handed when I come here, so don't I bring something back to Bai Lingyan!" ”

Shao Yingying frowned and asked suspiciously, "I saw that you didn't say it just now, and I wasn't embarrassed to ask, what is going on with the two of you?" ”

Wu Xiaojun urged, "It's hard to say, I'm talking to you slowly." ”

The two turned around for a while, the weather was a little hot, Shao Yingying was very difficult to walk, so she sat down at a snack point, eating and chatting. Shao Yingying listened to Wu Xiaojun's account of what happened some time ago with a heavy heart, and interjected resentfully, "So Lingyan's mother is not slandering you!" ”

Wu Xiaojun nodded embarrassedly.

Shao Yingying said faintly, "You and Lingyan are really good, everyone knows the ups and downs of the whole school, no wonder this is the case, I really don't see that you are such a person." ”

Wu Xiaojun was silent for a while and said, "I didn't expect things to get so bad, it's so sad!" ”

Shao Yingying then asked, "Have you two met again since then?" ”

Wu Xiaojun sighed and said, "See! She was in a very bad mood and had a falling out with her family, so I had no choice but to bring her back. What bothers me is that she never wants to leave here, and her personal relations can't be turned around for a while. I'm really worried that I will leave that side empty and delay her. I'm torn between where this emotional entanglement will go and how it will end! ”
