Chapter 111: Chapter 111 She is interested in him_1

A few girls were serving the rice, and Sima Guangguang was also helping. Before they had gone up the mountain, Aunt Sima had given instructions that each serving should contain one flattish spoon of vegetables and one flattish spoon of stir-fry with shredded meat. No more, no less. Hence, the girls distributed the food quite well.

Then, it was Mo Wenxuan’s turn to come up.

Zhou Dongdong happened to be serving him. Seeing Mo Wenxuan made her nervous and her fondness for him caused her spoon to scoop deeper than usual. Her spoonful was towering high, like a little mountain.

Just as she was about to serve Mo Wenxuan the overflowing spoonful, Sima Guangguang suddenly yelled out, "Hold on!"

Everyone turned to look at Sima Guangguang. The little guy shook his head seriously and said, "Dongdong, I calculated beforehand that there are ninety people on the mountain. A bucket of vegetables is about ninety-five spoonfuls. But your spoonful is obviously too much. This is not the right way to serve. First, we might run out of food, and secondly, you served a flat spoonful to the people before and now it’s a heaping spoonful. It wouldn’t be fair to the people who got less."

As soon as Sima Guangguang finished speaking, the people behind him started to chirp, "Zhou Family’s girl has a crush on Wenxuan, of course, she favors him."

"I noticed it a long time ago. The way the Zhou girl looks at Wenxuan is different."

"I saw the Zhou girl sneakily peeking at Wenxuan at the village entrance last time."

"..."

Zhou Dongdong was mortified, her face turning scarlet instantly. She didn’t dare to look at Mo Wenxuan, and with a toss of the serving spoon, she ran away.

Nan Feng kicked Sima Guangguang: "Look what you’ve done!"

Sima Guangguang looked innocent: "I just told Dongdong not to give too much to Wenxuan and explained why. Did I do anything wrong?"

"You didn’t do anything wrong, but you talk too much. Now we have one fewer person to do the work," Nan Feng responded.

As Zhou Dongdong ran away and tossed her spoon aside, Nan Feng had to take over her duties.

Because Nan Feng used to be Mo Wenxuan’s fiancée, everyone craned their necks to see her serving spoon, curious about how she would serve the food.

Nan Feng dug her spoon into the vegetables with no expression on her face and gave a little shake to reduce the load. She quickly served the food into Mo Wenxuan’s bowl. She moved so fast that the villagers below couldn’t even see how much food her spoon contained.

Mo Wenxuan furrowed his brow. There was so little food in his bowl. It was supposed to be one flat spoonful, but it didn’t even seem to be half of that.

Sima Guangguang was about to make a comment again, but a harsh glance from Nan Feng silenced him.

Who would push the cart down the mountain if Nan Feng also got angry and left?

Mo Wenxuan had to swallow the bitter pill of unfair treatment. But he couldn’t argue with a country girl over half spoonful of food - he had his dignity to think of, as he intended to be a top scholar in the future.

...

When it was the Wild Brother’s turn, there weren’t many people left in line.

Nan Feng, taking Zhou Dongdong’s situation into account, didn’t dare to serve too much to Wild Brother. But her spoon delved around to pick out chunks of meat just for him.

Sima Guangguang, on seeing this, was just about to lecture Nan Feng but was stopped by a stupefying glare from her.

Sima Guangguang opened his mouth, and then immediately shut it again.

...

Because the reservoir was near Sunset Lake, the man-made lake below also had an abundant water supply. After digging about five feet deep, underground water began to continuously bubble up. Added to that the stream flowing out of Sunset Lake, the water level in the reservoir rose steadily. In less than two months, the reservoir was built.

The villagers were extremely excited on the day of completion. Men, women, old, and young, all ran to the mountaintop and cheered around the reservoir.

Wan Jian’an came, and so did the town’s Lizheng. It was quite a lively scene.

Under Wan Jian’an’s guidance, the villagers attempted to open the sluice gate for the first time.
