I just reborn, how come I become a scumbag?

Chapter 56

Tan Zijin, who was leading the way, looked back every three steps and found that Xu Anruo didn't move, so he trotted back.

Seeing Xu Anruo's expression, he immediately understood what was going on.

She whispered:

"You, go wash your feet, I'll move all the rice stalks to the ridge, so you don't have to go to the field."

Xu Anruo thought it was a good idea.

He put down the burden on his shoulders, jumped back into the field, and said to Tan Zijin on the ridge:

"Go help grandma and Zipei, just move the rice stalks!"

"But, but..."

"But what? Look how tired grandma and Zipei are!"

Xu Anruo pouted.

Sure enough, Tan Zijin looked over there and stopped talking.

Turned his head and looked at Xu Anruo stupidly.

Xu Anruo grinned:

"Why are you still standing there?"

"Uh..."

Tan Zijin lowered his head quickly and went down to the field.

Moving rice stalks was not a heavy job.

Grandma's bundles were not big, Xu Anruo took one in each hand, very quickly.

In total, they tied up about 20 stalks.

Soon, Xu Anruo put all of them on the ridge of the field.

He looked back at Tan Zijin.

With her joining, Grandma tied rice stalks much faster.

Xu Anruo estimated that she could tie up about 10 stalks.

He did not call Tan Zijin in a hurry.

Instead, he took his shoes to the river not far away to wash his feet, and then put on socks and shoes.

Fortunately, Xu Anruo did not touch the leech.

But a pair of feet that had not been in the field and had no protection were full of red marks left by the scratches of rice roots.

He also sweated a lot.

The white short-sleeved shirt on her body was almost soaked.

But Xu Anruo didn't feel tired.

He just turned around and looked at the girl in the field, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Anruo walked over and shouted to Tan Zijin in the field:

"Okay, come and clear the way!"

He was half joking.

He stood on the ridge of the field with his back to the sun, but his face was full of smiles and gentleness.

Seeing Tan Zijin turned around, he waved his arms and made a lets go gesture.

Then...

He looked at Tan Zijin standing in the field stupidly, and laughed.

Unfortunately, she immediately lowered her head again.

After coming up, she didn't even dare to get too close to Xu Anruo.

It seemed that she felt that the smile just now was a very impolite thing.

Xu Anruo saw it and remembered it in her heart.

Her mood inexplicably improved a lot.

Tan Zijin led the way silently in front.

Xu Anruo followed behind her carrying the load.

But as they walked.

His brows furrowed.

Xiaotan Village looked right over there, but the road on the ridge was winding, and it was actually quite long to walk, about a mile and a half.

And this trip was almost all uphill.

This side of Conghu County is a typical hilly area, and the villages are basically located in high places.

So after one trip, it was obviously not that heavy, but Xu Anruo still felt a little tired.

In addition, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and the temperature was rising.

Xu Anruo was thinking.

Did Tan Zijin walk this way before?

She was so thin, how did she do it?

Soon they arrived at the village.

When passing by some houses.

There was a chatterbox standing at the door and asked:

"Zijin, who is this?"

"Classmate."

Tan Zijin lowered her head and whispered.

"What kind of male classmate is so nice? He picked rice stalks for your family in the hot summer?"

The old woman asked again.

This sounded wrong.

Classmates are classmates, why do you emphasize the word "male"?

Xu Anruo frowned, thinking what kind of village is this? Why are people like this?

But there was no way. Seeing Tan Zijin, who was looking down and completely at a loss, he could only turn his head and smile warmly at the old woman:

"Auntie, I am her classmate in No. 1 Middle School. The class teacher said before that her family situation is not very good, and asked the classmates to help her more!"

"Originally, several classmates made an appointment today, but they all had something urgent to do, so I came!"

Xu Anruo talked nonsense, and looked annoyed, and added:

"Oh, I am so angry. They didn't come, and I was the only one who picked the rice stalks!"

This was to shut the old woman up, and also to other neighbors who came out to watch the fun.

In fact, if you say how bad this old woman is, it's not that bad.

Villagers are just gossipy.

Then the same thing, said in different words, is completely different.

"Oh, the atmosphere in No. 1 Middle School is good after all. The head teacher is also a good person. Yes, we should help him. Zijin's family is too poor."

"That's right, we usually help as much as we can."

Several neighbor aunties followed up.

You see, this is right!

Xu Anruo struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile:

"Tan Zijin said in class before that the neighbors in the village are all good people and have always been helpful."

"No way!"

"We are all from the same village, it's hard to bear to see it."

"Little classmate, don't be too tired, take a rest when you need to, it's hot today!"

"Hey, thank you, auntie! "

Xu Anruo ended the conversation enthusiastically.

Then she looked at Tan Zijin standing in front of her and looking at her. When she found that Xu Anruo was also looking at her, she immediately lowered her head and turned away.

This is what avoidant and withdrawn personality is like.

She paid attention silently, but did not dare to express herself actively.

Soon they arrived at Tan Zijin's home.

Xu Anruo looked over and it was not that poor, was it?

It was at least a two-story brick house commonly seen in the village, and there was a rice field paved with cement at the door, but the outer wall was not tiled.

"Where to put it?" Xu Anruo asked.

"Here, this side will do." Tan Zijin pointed to the corner.

Xu Anruo put it down quickly.

Turning around, she watched Tan Zijin open the door and enter the house.

After a while, she took out two towels, pink and very clean.

This is obviously not for wiping sweat when working in the countryside.

"Here, here you go. "

Tan Zijin handed over the towel.

Xu Anruo didn't understand. One towel was enough. Why two towels?

"What are they for?" he asked.

"This one is for wiping sweat. This, this one is for your shoulders."

"What are you doing with your shoulders?"
