Lin Jue asked as he walked and finally found out where Lin Xi had gone to collect grass for pigs. He picked up a piece of dogtail grass and put it in his mouth, then strode towards where Lin Xi was.

"Brother, why are you here?" Lin Xi saw Lin Jue walking towards them from a distance and greeted him with a smile.

"Come and see you..." Lin Jue was not idle. He took the sickle from Lin Xi's hand and bent down to start cutting.

Lin Xi didn't stop him, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she thought that Lin Jue might come to find her, so she didn't use her supernatural powers. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if she completed the day's tasks in such a short time.

"Hello, Brother Lin." Chu Ran thought about it and greeted Lin Jue, and also changed his name.

"Well, you should go and have a rest too!" Lin Jue didn't look up and concentrated on picking grass for the pigs.

Of course Chu Ran was more than happy to do so. He put the sickle aside and ran to sit with Lin Xi.

"Xixi, your brother is a pretty good person, right?" Chu Ran whispered to Lin Xi, not knowing that Lin Jue had heard her words. She suddenly felt inexplicably in a much better mood.

"It's pretty good, so why don't you consider becoming my sister-in-law?" Lin Xi put away her smile and said seriously.

Chu Ran's face suddenly turned red, like a cooked shrimp!

"What nonsense are you talking about again!" Chu Ran lowered his voice, trying his best to suppress the panic in his heart!

"I'm not just saying this casually, I'm serious and I've thought this through carefully. My eldest brother holds a high position now and there will definitely be room for promotion in the future. Besides, our Lin family has strict education and he will never mess around outside. Besides, I've got your back! What are you afraid of?" Lin Xi looked as if he was saying, "I'll definitely stand up for you."

"But he is so much older than me..." Chu Ran was still a little conflicted. To be honest, she was indeed moved after hearing Lin Xi's words. A man like this was already excellent in this era, and was quite popular.

"That's not a problem. Only someone older than you will know how to care for you." Lin Xi knew there was a chance as soon as he saw her expression, and tried his best to say nice things.

"But maybe your elder brother doesn't like my type?" Chu Ran couldn't help but worry about Lin Jue's sexual orientation when he thought about how Lin Jue was already 28 years old and still not married.

"How do you know if you don't like him if you don't try? It's said that it's easy for a girl to win over a boy. I believe my brother will fall at your feet one day." Lin Xi continued to speak, fearing that Chu Ran would back down before taking the first step.

"Then let me try?" Chu Ran asked uncertainly.

"Just try it first. If it doesn't fit, just change it. It's no big deal and you won't lose any meat." Lin Xi continued to give advice.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try. It's easy to find men with two legs anyway." Chu Ran made up his mind to give it a try.

Lin Jue, who was still "seriously" picking pig grass not far away, changed his expression several times. He didn't expect that his sister would actually persuade others to pursue her elder brother, and he didn't expect Chu Ran to actually agree. Was he pretending to know or pretending not to know?

On the other side, Gu Tingxiao also found an opportunity to come to the field where his parents worked.

"Old Five, why are you here?" Mother Gu felt a little strange when she saw Gu Tingxiao coming over. Why was he here instead of working in the fields at this time?

"Dad, Mom, I came here to tell you that I'm going to join the army and will leave in two days." Gu Tingxiao stated his decision without hesitation.

What? Going to the army? The shovel in Gu's father's hand fell to the ground.

"Old Fifth, are you serious?" Father Gu guessed some of the reasons why he did this, but he didn't object. It was all his fault as a useless father who didn't give his child a good family.

"Dad, it's true. This is my own decision and has nothing to do with anyone else." Gu Tingxiao said this because he was afraid that his parents would blame Lin Xi and Lin Jue.

"Once you've made up your mind, just do it. No matter what the outcome is, you must take good care of yourself and don't let your parents at home worry." Father Gu tried hard to control his emotions and not let Gu Tingxiao think too much.

"Dad, I understand. You and my mother must take good care of yourselves at home and wait for me, your son, to come back and take you to the city to enjoy life." Gu Tingxiao sincerely hoped that day would come sooner.

"Okay, I'll wait for the day to enjoy my son's blessing." Father Gu agreed with a smile. Enjoying happiness is not important. What matters is that his son can return safely.

Mother Gu was secretly sad, but she knew that no matter what she said, it would not change the outcome.

"Don't come to work in the afternoon. Have a good rest at home. I will talk to your uncle." Father Gu spoke again.

"Dad, I don't need to rest." Gu Tingxiao thought that he could earn more work points if he worked harder.

"Just rest when I tell you to. Your work points are not needed." Father Gu knew what he was thinking and denied it immediately.

"Well, I see."

If he didn't go to work, he would go to the mountains to hunt some game to nourish his parents. It would also be a good opportunity for him to go and tell Lin Xi about it. After saying goodbye to his parents, Gu Tingxiao returned to where he was working.

Lin Jue had already prepared and packed the pig grass, which made Lin Xi and Chu Ran admire him very much. They didn't expect that a person who had never worked before could do the work not only so well, but also so quickly.

"You two lead the way..." Lin Jue picked up all the pig grass by himself, not wanting the two girls to do it.

Lin Xi obediently pulled Chu Ran and walked in front, looking back as they walked. Only when she saw that Lin Jue didn't look tired at all did she walk forward with confidence.

After Lin Jue helped deliver the pig feed, he rode Lin Xi's bicycle to the town. This time he went there to find out what the outcome of the handling of Chen Xingqi and those people was. If there had not been a result yet, he could help urge them to do so. He just wanted to get the matter settled before leaving so as not to leave any safety risks for his sister!

"You take a rest first. I'll go talk to Gu Tingxiao. It's still early. I'll cook when I come back." Lin Xi remembered that her eldest brother asked her to go to Gu's house before leaving to tell them that he would not be eating there at noon, so as to prevent the Gu family from cooking his meal.

"Well, go quickly and come back soon." Chu Ran didn't feel tired, so he sat on the stool and ate snacks.

Lin Xi did not go to Gu's house, but turned around and went to the fields. It was not time to get off work yet, so he could only go to the fields to look for people.

"Old Five, your partner is here to see you."

Someone said this, but everyone who was working on the same field with Gu Tingxiao looked towards Lin Xi.

"Hello, uncles and aunts." Lin Xi greeted them with a smile. She had to say hello! Didn't she see that everyone was staring at her?

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Gu Tingxiao, who had his back to Lin Xi, turned around and pulled Lin Xi behind a big tree, blocking the inquiring gazes of others.

"My eldest brother asked me to tell you that he will not be having lunch at your house, and that you don't have to cook for him." Lin Xi repeated what Lin Jue had said to her.

"Okay, I understand. I will tell my mother." Gu Tingxiao thought that she came to find him because she knew that he was going to join the army!

Fortunately it wasn't, because he wanted to tell her about it in person.
