I fell in love in the seventies

In mid-June, Liu Haikui organized everyone to clear the weeds in the fields.

The weather began to get hot, and the sun above was scorching the earth, but the figures working in the fields did not stop.

Since Liu Haikui divided the fields in the brigade into groups for management, everyone's enthusiasm for work has increased significantly. Although there are a few people who are sly, they dare not be too obvious under the supervision of others.

At noon, the sun is strong, and it is easy to get heatstroke if you continue to work. The leaders of each group arranged for everyone to go back and rest first, and wait until it is cooler in the afternoon before working again.

Su Tang was tired from working these days, and she had a few dirty clothes that had not been washed yet, so she asked Zhang Qiu Sheng to go to the river to wash clothes together.

The two of them found a shady place by the river. The water was cool and they felt much cooler.

The two girls chatted while washing clothes. Zhang Qiu Sheng told Su Tang a piece of gossip.

"You know that Captain Liu has a daughter named Xi Mei, who is about the same age as us and is very pretty." Qiu Sheng said while rubbing the clothes in his hands.

"I know." Su Tang nodded, "She came to the field with the captain last time."

Zhang Qiu Sheng nodded and continued, "Doesn't Huai Xu live in Captain Liu's house? I think Xi Mei may like him."

"It's normal for a man to be unmarried and a woman to be unmarried." Su Tang thought there was nothing strange about this. After all, Wei Huai Xu was also handsome and had a scholarly temperament, which was quite popular with girls.

"The point is that Huaixu doesn't seem to have that intention." Qiu Sheng said, "We live close to each other, and I always see Ximei following him. The girl is straightforward and says whatever she wants to say. But you didn't see Huaixu's expression, as if Ximei could eat him."

Su Tang smiled. This era is not like the era she lived in. Matters about love between men and women are not so open. Even couples will always restrain themselves. Even holding hands on the street is shameful. Liu Ximei is straightforward. It is estimated that she chased too hard and scared Wei Huaixu.

Su Tang is not someone who likes to meddle in other people's business, but since they have a good relationship, she can't help asking a few more questions, "I said, why does Huai Xu seem to be worried recently, always distracted, he doesn't have any interest in the girl?"

Zhang Qiu Sheng shook his head, "I don't know about that, but seeing that he is avoiding that posture, I'm afraid he has no interest."

Among the three male educated youth, Xu Hao has the most direct personality. Perhaps it is because of the good conditions in his family since he was a child, he has developed such a personality, never hiding his emotions, and Zheng Fangming is more thoughtful and stable. He doesn't talk much, but every word he says hits the point. As for Wei Huai Xu, he has a strong bookish air and is also reserved. He must have panicked a long time ago when he was pursued so directly by the girl.

"I think Ximei is nice." Although Su Tang had only seen her a few times, she had a good impression of Liu Ximei. The girl spoke crisply and was easy to get along with.

"I don't know what Huai Xu thinks. Let's ask him when we meet again."

Su Tang nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "How are you and Xu Hao doing recently?"

Zhang Qiu paused while washing clothes, and immediately blushed, hesitating: "What, what's going on."

Su Tang laughed, and didn't say anything because she was shy.
