Chapter 30 Overturned

The forest is relatively quiet in the morning. Usually at this time, the sun has just risen and the heat has not yet spread. Most of the animals in the forest are quiet. But today is obviously different from the past. Birds are startled from time to time in the woods near the mountain road, and even summer cicadas chirp a few times to join in the fun.

"Tututu..."

On the bumpy mountain road, Geng Shu drove a hand tractor and took the lead. As the tractor passed by, the noise never stopped.

Jiang Youyou was not used to it when she first sat on it, but after listening to it for a long time, she just regarded it as background music. She focused more on the mountain road. She was not so nervous when she rode a bicycle last time, but this time she rode a larger and more enviable tractor, and she did not dare to relax, because the mountain road was really uneven and winding, and some of them were very narrow. Geng Shu's driving skills were already very good, but she still felt like she was going to be bumped. When passing through narrow mountain roads, she was even more afraid of being bumped into the broken corners.

"Geng Shu!"

Another sharp turn, still on a narrow bend with broken corners, Jiang Youyou was so scared that her heart was about to jump out, and she didn't care about being reserved or not, and subconsciously grabbed the place closest to her.

When his thigh was grabbed, he felt the softness of the hand through the thin fabric. Geng Shu almost drove the car into the ridge because of his shaking hands. Fortunately, the driver was an experienced driver who was able to keep steady at the critical moment and drove through the sharp turn safely.

Jiang Youyou breathed a sigh of relief. After looking down and finding out where he was grabbed, he pulled back as if he was burned by fire, and his cheeks turned pink. "I'm sorry, Geng Shu, I didn't mean it."

If someone else suddenly attacked his thigh during the sharp turn, Geng Shu would have given face by not slapping him, but the person next to him was not someone else. He personally invited him to ride in the car, and he had to compete with others to get in.

Thinking of this, Geng Shu felt a little depressed again. When Xu Daqiang insisted on inviting Jiang Youyou to sit in his car despite everyone's comments, Jiang Youyou actually hesitated instead of refusing.

If it weren't for the two male educated youths who couldn't squeeze into the ox cart and occupied Xu Daqiang's seat first to break the deadlock because they didn't want to walk and didn't want to deal with Geng Shu, maybe Jiang Youyou would really go over to sit?

Just thinking of this possibility, Geng Shu's mood was not good.

So when Jiang Youyou touched his thigh out of fear, he just stiffened his face and said stiffly that it was okay.

If Jiang Youyou still couldn't tell that Geng Shu was in a bad mood, then she would have spent so many times with him in vain. Moreover, it seemed that this unhappy mood was not because she accidentally touched his thigh, but it seemed that it started when he drove her away in a tractor?

Jiang Youyou carefully leaned back and looked. There was no shadow of another tractor behind her. The time when the two of them set out was not much different, which was enough to show how fast Geng Shu drove.

She secretly looked at Geng Shu's face again. His face was expressionless, no different from usual, but she felt that his handsome face exuded an unhappy aura, just like a sulking big dog.

"Geng Shu, did you and Comrade Xu Daqiang have any unpleasantness?" She didn't think about herself, but just thought that there was some rift between them. After all, Comrade Xu Daqiang looked like he was trying to show off to Geng Shu.

Jiang Youyou didn't think that the two of them were really unhappy because of her. Even if the crowd was talking about it, it was the 1970s after all, and life was not a novel. In her impression, people in public would not do such things as showing love to each other and snatching people away, because they were not the male and female protagonists.

Geng Shu froze when he heard Jiang Youyou bring up the topic, and then pretended to be casual and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Jiang Youyou was embarrassed to tell him her guess, and added, "I just think you're not happy, don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to dig into your private affairs."

Geng Shu was relieved after hearing this, he thought she found out...

It's good that she didn't find out. Geng Shu was vague for a while, "Some opinions are not agreed upon, you don't have to worry about it."

Since Geng Shu said so, Jiang Youyou nodded obediently, she was not so gossipy that she had to let others tell it.

She calmed down, and Geng Shu was aroused to talk. He tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking the question that had been lingering in his mind, "If the two male educated youth didn't get on the bus, would you have gone to sit next to Xu Daqiang?"

"Of course not, you were already going to take me, why would I run over?" Jiang Youyou said frankly, without any hesitation.

"Then why did you look so hesitant before?"

"No, I thought Comrade Xu Daqiang was trying to show off to you, so I didn't dare to answer for a while." At that time, Xu Daqiang's face was flushed and his forehead was bulging with blue veins. He stared at Geng Shu, and Geng Shu also looked over with a heavy look. The two of them had a weird atmosphere, and she, the passerby who was cueed, was frightened for a while.

After learning the answer, Geng Shu felt that he was unhappy and thoughtless all the way, but at the same time, he was happy that she said she would never go to Xu Daqiang. In other words, the little girl didn't need anyone else after she had him!

Very good.

Geng Shu followed his heart and reached out a hand to touch her fluffy little head, "Well done, don't pay attention to him next time."

Jiang Youyou was confused:...

What did she say and do?

Well, it feels really good~

Geng Shu, whose brain waves are not at the same frequency, was in a good mood after touching the little head that felt better than he expected, and his whole body was filled with a satisfied and happy atmosphere.

Jiang Youyou... I hope Geng Shu is happy~

The two reached an agreement, and the atmosphere of the next journey was relaxed and joyful.

However, while this side was joyful, Xu Daqiang was not so happy.

From the moment Jiang Youyou got on Geng Shu's tractor and left, his face became gloomy and depressed. He was not as proud as before when driving the tractor. If he hadn't thought that the tractor was loaded with public grain to be handed in, he might have really overturned.

No, to be exact, he really overturned.

At a turn, a bicycle rushed over as if it didn't hear the tractor's "thump thump" sound. Xu Daqiang was about to turn the front of the bicycle, and suddenly rushed over from the opposite side. He subconsciously turned the direction to avoid it, but he ignored the small bump on the side. The tractor didn't have time to brake and rushed directly into the bump, and the person and the cart of food were overturned...
