Chapter 59: Soul-stirring Fear

  Zhang Shufang stacked the pockets together and put them in the yard, went to fetch some water for washing her face, let Wang Haodong wash his face and hands, and then the three of them sat around the table, starting today's lunch.

  While eating, Zhang Qian's little mouth didn't stop asking Wang Haodong about things in the town. Actually, he had mentioned these before, but facing her inquiry, he could only explain again, of course with some concealment, not mentioning the fight and bloodshed, otherwise they would definitely worry.

  Zhang Shufang tapped her chopsticks on the table and said sternly, "Don't ask any more questions, hurry up and eat, read books in the afternoon, and go to the city tomorrow. You have to take advantage of this last bit of time to review your books."

  "Alright, alright, look at you, you've been nagging more and more lately, aren't you afraid of being disliked?"

  Zhang Qian's words were pointed, and Wang Haodong chuckled: "Who dares to dislike your sister?"

  Zhang Qian stuck out her tongue, "Hey, I'm just making an analogy, Haodong brother, you're not disgusted, are you?"

  "How dare I?" Wang Haodong hastily shook his head.

  Upon hearing the two people's conversation, Zhang Shufang's face turned red, "Alright, alright, let's eat."

  Wang Haodong smiled, as he was eating rice with his mouth, he stretched out his foot and touched another foot. He looked carefully and found that the foot belonged to Zhang Shufang. Then, he stretched out his foot again and tapped on her foot lightly.

  Zhang Shufang's body shook slightly, and then she stared at him, looked at Zhang Qian again, as if to say, don't make trouble, Zhang Qian is still here.

  That glance was infinitely charming, and Wang Haodong was greatly stimulated. Not only did he not withdraw his foot, but on the contrary, he deliberately took off his shoes and gently rubbed against her feet.

  Zhang Shufang had never experienced such stimulation before, and her body trembled again.

  "Sister, what's wrong?" Zhang Qian was eating with her head down when she suddenly saw her sister's body moving and quickly asked.

  "No, nothing." Zhang Shufang hastily shook her head in denial, and then took advantage of Zhang Qian's distraction to glare at Wang Haodong again, with a furious expression on her face.

  Wang Haodong knew the principle of knowing when to stop, so he smiled and withdrew his foot, focusing on eating, but that sneaky feeling made him feel very happy.

  Zhang Shufang let out a long sigh and asked: "This afternoon I wasn't at home, how did you two discuss it?"

  "Oh, don't worry about the tuition fees, I have a time deposit that's due soon, and I can use it to pay for Qianqian's school fees. However, on one condition: Qianqian must get accepted into university, otherwise, it would all be in vain."

  Zhang Qian immediately shouted: "Hey, don't underestimate me, I will definitely get into a famous university and become the first college student in our village."

  "Our village has never had a university student before. Qianqian, if you really get into a prestigious university, your ancestors will also be proud of you..."

  Zhang Qian clenched her fists and shouted: "Sister, I must pass the exam."

  "I've got the money ready for you, whether you can get it or not depends on your skills." Wang Haodong deliberately provoked Zhang Qian, "I'm leaving my words here, if you get into a top university, I'll buy you a mobile phone."

  Zhang Qian was like a proud little swan, looking up at Wang Haodong: "Do you mean what you say?"

  "Absolutely counted."

  "Qianqian, how can you use this as a bet?" Zhang Shufang hastily stopped Zhang Qian.

  Wang Haodong smiled and said, "Don't be like that, Shufang, we're just joking around. But when I say something, I mean it, absolutely no regrets. I'm a man of my word, you can't make me go back on it, right?"

  "Right, we're almost like family now, sis, don't be so formal."

  "However, I also have a sense of propriety. Haodong brother, you're good to my sister and me, I know that. Consider the money as a loan from me, Zhang Qian. I'll repay it after graduation with 10% interest, okay?"

  "No interest."

  "That's not okay, you're not my brother-in-law. Unless you are my sister's husband, I won't waive the interest."

  "Zhang Qian, you're going to die!" Zhang Shufang was somewhat flustered, but Wang Haodong saw a sweet and shy expression on her face, perhaps she didn't mind him being her man.

  Zhang Qian hastily put down her bowl and chopsticks, laughing: "Oh my, Haodong brother is a charming, capable, and handsome man. There are many women who want to find him, you'd better grasp it tightly."

  This remark was quite reasonable, and Wang Haodong loved to hear it. He chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, Qianqian, you go study quickly."

  "Then I'll go read a book, you guys eat, and call me when it's time to load the grain." Zhang Qian said with a smile as she entered her bedroom. Just before leaving, she seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh right, Brother Haodong, this meal was cooked by me, you haven't given your evaluation yet?"

  "Haven't you seen me finish two bowls of rice? Of course it's delicious!"

  It's undeniable that Zhang Qian's craftsmanship is also very good, the rural flavor is unique and suits Wang Haodong's taste, of course, he must be praised.

  Zhang Qian received Wang Haodong's praise and happily entered the house.

  Zhang Shufang couldn't help but sigh with a bitter smile, "Alas, already eighteen years old, yet still like a ten-year-old kid."

  "This is called being full of childlike innocence, a rare quality." Wang Haodong smiled and took advantage of Zhang Qian's absence to grab Zhang Shufang's hand, saying in a low voice: "Shufang, I've missed you so much these days without seeing you."

  "Wait, Qianqian is at home." Zhang Shufang subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, her face full of flustered expression.

  Wang Haodong couldn't help but laugh in his heart, her expression clearly meant she wasn't refusing, otherwise she would have shouted loudly. He didn't let go of her hand and said softly: "Qianqian is inside the house, it's okay."

  Zhang Shufang said somewhat annoyed: "Why are you so sticky?"

  "Who made me fall in love with you?" Wang Haodong smiled and lifted her hand, lightly kissing the edge of her mouth.

  Zhang Shufang's whole body trembled as if she had been electrocuted and stood there in a daze.

  Taking advantage of her daze, Wang Haodong's hand grasped her arm.

  "Wait..."

  Zhang Shufang looked like she was so anxious that she was almost in tears.

  Creak.

  At this time, the door inside the house creaked open and made a squeaking sound. Wang Haodong hastily let go of Zhang Shufang, but she was pale with fright, thinking that her sister had seen them, and was so scared that she almost lost her soul, stumbling and nearly falling off the stool.

  "Sister, my desk lamp is not lighting up, can you take a look?" Zhang Qian walked out and said loudly.

  "Oh, okay, okay." Zhang Shufang finally came to her senses, her whole body weak and trembling as she stood up, glaring fiercely at Wang Haodong before entering the house with her sister.

  Wang Haodong also went with him, fiddled around for a while, and found that there was a problem with the insert plate. He took out a screwdriver to disassemble it, and after fiddling around for a bit, the problem was solved.

  "When the lights come on, Zhang Qian says: "Sister, when are we going to have dinner?"

  "It's almost dark, let's feed the livestock. Later, I need to go to the field and take a look, we still have an acre of wheat that hasn't been harvested yet. Let me see if the combine harvester is available."

  Zhang Shufang said to Zhang Qian: "Qianqian, you just stay at home and study this afternoon, got it?"

  "I'm going to the ground." Zhang Shufang turned her head and left the house.

  "Study hard." Wang Haodong also echoed a sentence, and then came out of the house, caught up with Zhang Shufang, and asked: "Shufang, can I go to the ground with you?"

  "It's so hot outside, you'd better not go out with your fair skin, it's easy to get sunburned."

  "I'm not an emperor or a celebrity, I don't care if it's dark or not. No big deal, I'll accompany you." In fact, Wang Haodong was thinking of finding Xiao Yufen and wondering why she hadn't returned yet.

  "Alright."

  Zhang Shufang agreed and left home with Wang Haodong to go to the ground.

  On the way, Wang Haodong inquired and learned that using this combine harvester costs 30 yuan per mu of land. They also have a three-wheeled truck with a self-unloading function to help villagers transport grain to their doorstep, which is convenient and saves trouble.

  In the past, villagers didn't use combines unless they were away working and had to ask relatives or friends for help. This year's weather has been a bit different, with rain coming in two days, so the villagers are worried that the harvest will be delayed and the wheat will rot in the fields, so they all decided to use combines.

  Not far from the village, Wang Haodong saw a combine harvester cutting wheat in the field. A three-wheeled vehicle was parked at the edge of the field, apparently waiting to help unload grain once the combine's grain tank was full and transport it back to the villagers' homes.

  In addition, there are more than a dozen villagers at the ground head, chatting and waiting in line for the combine harvester.

  "A brand new harvester, 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, can harvest 100 mu per day, and earn more than 200,000 yuan per year, it will take a few years to recover the cost."

  Listening to Zhang Shufang's words, Wang Haodong nodded secretly, but he was not interested in this business.

  Zhang Shufang walked to the end of the field and greeted an old farmer: "Uncle Dezi, how many more households are there?"

  "There are still eight households, and the ninth one is yours. I estimate that we can finish by late afternoon." The old farmer said, his turbid eyes looked at Wang Haodong for a few moments, and smiled: "Is this Haodong?"

  Wang Haodong took out a pack of Yuxi cigarettes and handed one to the old farmer, who accepted it but was reluctant to smoke it, instead putting it behind his ear. He then pulled out a pack of cheap cigarettes that cost 1 yuan each and began smoking them contentedly. Turning to Wang Haodong, he said: "Young man, I know you're from the city, are you getting used to living in this village?"

  It's old news, Wang Haodong has long moved out of Liujiayuan to the town, but she didn't say that, instead nodded and said: "Very good, the air here is fresh, the villagers are enthusiastic, I like this place."

  "Have you ever thought of settling down here?"

  "What's this about settling down?" Wang Haodong asked with a smile.

  "You married a girl from our village, isn't that settling down?" The old farmer chuckled and looked at Zhang Shufang, saying: "Shufang is beautiful inside and out, diligent in her work, kind-hearted, and very suitable to be a wife."

  Zhang Shufang blushed and said, "Dezi Uncle, what are you talking about?"

  "Ha, little girl is shy." Dezi uncle chuckled and said to Wang Haodong: "Young man, seize the opportunity!"

  Wang Haodong scratched his head, revealing a silly smile, thinking to himself, "It seems like the villagers who have their eyes open all know about me and Shufen. I wonder how much they know about me and Xiaoyufen?" He was afraid it wasn't a small amount either.

  After chatting with Lao Nong for a while, Wang Haodong saw Zhang Shufang walking away and looked around, still not seeing Xiao Yufen, wondering where she had gone.

  Wang Haodong suddenly remembered that her family's land was on the west side of the village, near a small river, so he decided to go find her.

  Wang Haodong found an excuse to go back, and Zhang Shufang didn't suspect anything. She said to Wang Haodong: "You go back first, I'll wait here. If you have time this afternoon, help me pile up the wheat at the door."

  "Alright." Wang Haodong nodded and took big strides back home, bypassing their line of sight, following the village road, walking westward.

  It's the busy farming season now, and every household has piles of wheat or straw at their doorsteps. In fact, harvesting wheat is just a few days' work, adding up to less than a week. After finishing it, planting corn or soybeans is done, and there's nothing much left to do.

  In the past, most of the labor force in the village went out to work, and during this season, they all took leave to return home to harvest wheat. Young people who go out to work rarely come back.

  Just as Wang Haodong walked to the west entrance of the village, he saw Xiao Yufen. She was pushing a farm cart with several bags of wheat on it and pulling hard.

  Yu Fen.

  Wang Haodong shouted and hurriedly ran over.

  "Hao Dong, when did you come back?" Xiao Yufen looked at Wang Haodong in surprise, her face full of joy.

  "I came back this morning, is it hot? Come on, give me the bike." Wang Haodong said as he directly grabbed the bike and started pulling it for her, then asked: "How much wheat have you harvested at home?"
