At this moment, Eugene, who had been walking alongside Xie Weidong and Fang Meng behind several female educated youths, quickly took a step forward and whispered to the four girls.

"I heard this morning that Wang, the educated youth from the female host's side, didn't come back last night. Do you think something happened to him?"

Eugene and Fang Meng are the same age, both eighteen-year-old lads, but Eugene is two months younger than Fang Meng and follows him around calling him "Big Brother" every day.

However, the two have completely different personalities. Eugene is more cheerful and sunny, a bit talkative, and also a bit gossipy. If he were to team up with the Super Flower duo, they could probably dig up all the gossip about the entire Seven Waters Brigade in a couple of days.

However, despite their gossipy nature, the two never babbled. They would only secretly share any news they heard with their friends and never gossip about it. They were quite a tactful gossip team.

"How did you know?" Super Flower's eyes lit up, and she pulled Eugene aside.

Eugene chuckled, glanced around, and found that they were all his friends. He then said with relief, "When I went to the front yard to fetch water this morning, He Xiangxiang and Tao Lili were picking vegetables in their private plot. I heard them whispering that Wang Zhiqing hadn't come back all night and they had started making breakfast but still hadn't seen him."

At this moment, not only were there many flowers, but even Qin Xuehua and Sun Yuxi next to them looked surprised.

Bai Nuo looked left and right, then subconsciously turned her head to glance at Fang Meng, who was always walking behind her.

After thinking carefully for a second, he also made a surprised little expression, but... his acting skills were not very good, and he was a little "affected".

Fang Meng raised his hand and slapped his face, then smiled helplessly.

This little brat, trying to fit in isn't like this! She'd be better off with no expression at all!

Xie Weidong, standing next to him, blinked lightly, glanced at the people in front of him, then turned his head slightly to look at Fang Meng beside him. He then raised his hand and gently pushed up his frameless glasses with his thumb and middle finger, a smile flashing in his eyes.

The five people in front chattered on about this one question all the way to the fork in the road, where they had to go their separate ways. Some of them went to the warehouse to find the scorekeeper and get farm tools, while Bai Nuo went to the animal husbandry team.

Although the two places are not far apart, they are separated by several granaries and storage warehouses, as well as a large threshing ground. The warehouse for storing farm tools is on the other side, and there is a fork in the road in between.

"Are you going home for lunch?" Fang Meng quickly walked over to Bai Nuo and handed her the basket containing Xiao Fugui.

"No need, I brought my own food. The feeding team has a stove there, and they cook feed every morning. I can just leave it to warm up." Bai Nuo gestured with the small basket in her hand. Inside, besides Xiao Fugui, there was also a double-layered enamel lunchbox, which 925 had prepared for her long ago.

Fang Meng frowned slightly, only then noticing that there was a lunchbox inside the basket. He curled his lip and said, "I'll make you another lunch bag later. You're not allowed to put your lunchbox with the dog anymore."

Eugene quietly moved closer, his eyes shining as he looked at the little guy. In fact, he had noticed the little guy yesterday, but he hadn’t dared to get close. Now, the more he looked at him, the more fascinated he became.

only……

"Brother, are you sure this is a dog?" It doesn't look like the puppies he's seen before.

Fang Meng and Bai Nuo exchanged a glance, then looked at Eugene at the same time, speaking in unison with the same firm tone, brooking no argument.

"It's a dog!" X 2

"...Okay, if you say it's a dog, then it's a dog!"

Eugene felt uncomfortable, rubbed his nose, and shrank back timidly.

"What else could that be but a dog? Let's go. You're so talkative, aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?" Xie Weidong chuckled, pulled Eugene by the neck, turned around and walked towards the field, waving to Fang Meng behind him as he went, "We'll go first and help you get your tools."

"Okay, thanks!" Fang Meng nodded to the side, then took the small basket back. "Let's go, I'll take you there. Xie Weidong and the others will be here when we come back."

"oh!"

Bai Nuo nodded. It was certainly good that he didn't have to carry anything himself. It was still more than 200 meters away from here to the feeding team. The Qishui Brigade was indeed large, and everything was built on a huge scale, making it feel spacious everywhere. However, there was also a lot of walking involved.

Fang Meng took Bai Nuo to the animal husbandry team, greeted Grandpa Zhao who was cleaning the cowshed next door, and then went to the fields to meet up with Xie Weidong and the others.

Fang Meng, You Jin, and Xie Weidong were all in the same production team. Because Fang Meng was often away from the brigade, their team had one extra person. Now that Fang Meng had suddenly returned and was working diligently, the brigade leader specially assigned them an extra piece of land this morning.

The crops in the fields have almost all been planted. Many of the seedlings planted in April have sprouted. Now everyone is busy pulling out the excess seedlings, selecting the good ones, and then transplanting them to other places to avoid waste.

Other tasks include weeding and fertilizing; the spring planting season, which begins at the start of the year, is now officially entering its busy phase.

Bai Nuo, on the other hand, has started acting as a slacker in her team again. Now, even the perfectly good Hei Feng family has been turned into notorious slackers in the village by her.

Some people are particularly fond of the petite and fair-skinned young educated youth, especially when she sits on the back of a tall and handsome black horse; the contrast is absolutely mesmerizing.

But some people think... these naive educated youth are really annoying.

"Uncle Wu, what are you looking at? Is there some treasure in that field? You've been staring at it for ages, it looks so good!"
