Chapter 42 The Peacock Spreads Its Tail (2/3)
Reading Settings
"Eat quickly, it's your first day on the job, you can't be late."
Ruan Tang sipped her porridge, a warm current sliding down her esophagus into her stomach, instantly dispelling all her fatigue and drowsiness.
She remembered that last night, while Yan Yu was tidying up in the backyard, she had sneaked into the space for a peek.
Goodness, it's only been a few days since I last went in, and it's already completely changed inside.
The puppet grandmother not only cultivated a large area of land, planting all kinds of crops from this world, but also used arrays to enclose a breeding area next to it, with chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep, and even dug a large pond to raise fish and shrimp.
Two large white geese were stretching their necks and patrolling the edge of the pond with great pomp and circumstance.
The entire space exudes a vibrant and lively atmosphere.
By the time Ruan Tang finished breakfast, Yan Yu had already tidied everything up.
He carried a basket he had just taken out of his spatial storage, which contained lunch for the two of them, a water bottle filled with spiritual spring water, gloves, towels, toilet paper, and other items.
"Change to this."
Yan Yu handed over a set of neatly folded clothes.
It's pure black, and the style is the most common long-sleeved shirt and trousers, but the material is smooth and has a slightly cool feel, making it exceptionally comfortable to wear.
When Ruan Tang came out after changing her clothes, Yan Yu was also wearing the exact same men's style.
The two stood together, looking exactly like they were wearing matching outfits.
The bell rang for the third time to signal the start of work.
After locking the courtyard gate, Yan Yu naturally took Ruan Tang's soft little hand and strode towards the brigade headquarters in the center of the village.
People gradually appeared on the road.
Most of the villagers looked exhausted, with dark circles under their eyes. The all-night rescue efforts had left them completely drained, and they had no energy to pay attention to the two newly arrived educated youth.
Even so, just as they were about to merge into the crowd, Yan Yu reluctantly let go of Ruan Tang's hand.
The soft touch disappeared from his palm, and a void suddenly appeared in his heart.
The man instinctively took another half step closer to her, using his body to keep others away.
A considerable number of people had already gathered in the open space of the brigade headquarters compound.
The villagers gathered in twos and threes, holding tobacco pipes and talking in hushed tones.
On the other side, seven educated youths stood together, seemingly separated from the villagers by an invisible wall, clearly distinct from each other.
"Ruan Tang! Over here!"
Lin Xiangnan's cheerful voice came from behind her as she waved vigorously at Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang's eyes lit up, she smiled and waved to her, then quickly walked over.
As soon as she stood down next to Lin Xiangnan, Yan Yu, carrying a basket on his back, followed closely behind.
He was tall and imposing, with a cold and aloof demeanor. He stood silently beside Ruan Tang, using his body to create an absolutely safe distance between her and the others.
His powerful presence made the surrounding air seem to freeze.
For a moment, almost all the educated youth's eyes were drawn to them, seemingly unintentionally.
