Nanzhi had no time to listen to their praises. She helped Xu Qingyuan, patted her back, and patiently comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

In this era, the living conditions of rural people are very poor, and eating well is considered good.

Due to illness, Xu Qingyuan was very weak, with a sallow complexion and thin muscles, and dry hair. Only a third of Xu Min's resemblance could be seen from his outline.

"Thank you sister."

Xu Qingyuan stood up from her arms with red eyes, but fell down weakly again.

Nanzhi heard her stomach growling, thinking she must be hungry.

Suddenly something occurred to her, and she took out an apple wrapped in a paper bag from her pocket.

The apples were sent by the original owner's parents, but Nanzhi only took one with him, thinking that he would eat it when he was hungry while working.

Now, she handed the apple to her: "Eat quickly, you won't be hungry after eating it."

When Xu Qingyuan saw the apple, he was obviously so greedy that he swallowed his saliva.

Apples are a rare thing here, and Xu Qingyuan only bought her one to try when she was very sick. In order to coax her, her brother bought her one.

Where would she normally see him?

Saw it now.

But she didn't dare to eat.

The sister in front of her had already saved her life. She couldn't afford to repay such a great kindness. It would be even harder to repay her if she owed another apple.

Nanzhi touched her head and said, "My sister is already full. I really can't eat this apple anymore. Can you help me?"

Xu Qingyuan carefully took the apple and ate it in small bites.

The apples were so delicious that she was afraid that she would eat them all in one bite.

After eating a few mouthfuls, she was no longer so hungry, so she stopped eating and stuffed the remaining apples into her pocket.

Cheng Zhouyuan watched from the side. Seeing that Xu Qingyuan was okay, the other educated youths continued to pick tea. Xu Qingyuan's friends went to find Xu Min, so only he and Nanzhi were accompanying Xu Qingyuan at the moment.

Many of the villagers here were not wearing clean clothes. Xu Qingyuan had just chased pigs and stepped on a lot of pig feces, which made him smell bad.

Cheng Zhouyuan didn't dislike Nanzhi at all, and even touched Xu Qingyuan's head, which made him look at this young lady again.

It doesn't seem to be as bad as the rumors say.

He was about to talk to Nanzhi when suddenly a gust of wind blew by his ears. Immediately afterwards, Cheng Zhouyuan saw a boy taller than him passing him and walking towards Nanzhi.

"Ayuan, how's it going?"

Nanzhi looked up and saw the tall Xu Min coming to him. His breath was still a little unsteady, and he was obviously running over.

The clothes on his body were very old, with many patches patched with poor stitching techniques, as if he had sewn them on himself.

But that face was very handsome, but it was always sullen. Even when he was worried about Xu Qingyuan, he was cold, like a wolf that was not easy to mess with.

Xu Qingyuan looked happy to see him: "Brother, I'm fine, thanks to this sister for saving me."

Xu Min then looked at Nanzhi. When he saw it was her, his expression was stunned, obviously a little surprised.

"She fainted. I gave her CPR. She's fine for the time being. You don't have to worry."

What about cardiopulmonary resuscitation? Xu Min hadn't studied for a few years and couldn't understand it at all.

He glanced at the smiling Nanzhi and then looked away: "Thank you."

Nanzhi curled her lips and smiled: "You saved me once yesterday, and I saved your sister again today. I didn't expect that we are quite destined."

"Then it's even."

Xu Min didn't want to stay with these educated youths, so he pulled Xu Qingyuan away expressionlessly.

Xu Qingyuan saw that her brother was very cruel to Nanzhi. She quietly turned back and looked at Nanzhi. Nanzhi smiled at her, and Xu Qingyuan's ears turned red.

This sister is really beautiful.

Well, my brother and I seem to get along quite well as a couple.

But her brother seems to dislike her very much?

Xu Qingyuan thought regretfully, and suddenly she thought of something again, and exclaimed: "Brother, pig, the pig ran away!" Xu Qingyuan then remembered that the pig ran away and has not been caught yet.

She looked around anxiously, and the next moment, her eyes lit up: "Brother, the pig is there!"

Then, Nanzhi saw Xu Min letting go of Xu Qingyuan's hand, striding to catch up with the pig that was humping the tea tree, grabbing the pig's hind legs, and carrying it away.

The pig was thin and small, but its lethality was quite strong, and it destroyed many tea trees.

Xu Min scolded Xu Qingyuan as he walked: "If I didn't tell you to stay at home, why did you drive the pig to the mountain again?"

Xu Qingyuan looked guilty: "Brother, I just saw that you were working too hard and wanted to help you..."

Xu Min was silent.

Xu Qingyuan's eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry: "Now that the pigs have damaged a lot of tea trees, do we have to pay a lot of money?"

Xu Min wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's okay, I will find a way."

Nanzhi watched Xu Min and Xu Qingyuan walking towards her, but Xu Min didn't look at her from beginning to end.

But when he finally left, he said to Cheng Zhouyuan: "Please tell the secretary that I will compensate for the damaged tea trees."

Cheng Zhouyuan nodded and agreed.

Nanzhi watched them leave, her amused expression gradually froze as she watched him carrying the pig.

In this era, it is not easy for people.

What's more, it's Xu Min who is helpless.

On the way back, Xu Qingyuan took out the apple with only a few bites hidden in his pocket.

"Brother, my beautiful sister gave it to me. It's so delicious. I saved this for you. Please try it."

Xu Min looked at the bright color in her hands and saw that they were apples only sold in the city.

"Did she give it to you?"

"Yes, the beautiful sister is so nice, I was too embarrassed to ask for it. She also said that she couldn't eat and asked me to help her. In fact, she was afraid that I would be a burden..."

When Xu Qingyuan mentioned Nanzhi, his eyes lit up, but soon, the light went out.

Xu Min interrupted her coldly: "In the future, you can't just eat what others give you."

Xu Qingyuan looked at Xu Min's stern eyes, pursed her lips, and responded in a low voice.

She knew that her brother didn't want to owe others favors.

She's so bad, she's causing trouble for her brother again.

Looking at the apple in her hand, she suddenly felt at a loss.

A big hand patted her shoulder, "I'm sorry, my voice was a little loud just now. I'm not trying to hurt you, but I just want you to remember that we'd better not have anything to do with these educated youths in the city."

"That apple..."

"You can eat it, my brother doesn't want to eat it."

"No, brother has to eat. If brother doesn't eat, A-Juan won't eat..."

Xu Min could only take a bite.

It was the best apple he had ever eaten in his life.

But he also knew that there were some things he didn't deserve to enjoy.

……

"Nanzhi, do you need me to help you?"

Cheng Zhouyuan's voice came from beside him, and Nanzhi looked back and smiled at him: "No, I can do it, thank you."

After saying that, she took a step forward, but she didn't expect that because she ran too hastily just now, her ankle was even more serious.

Just as she was about to fall, someone suddenly pulled her arm.
