The old man’s harvester is really quite useful, capable of harvesting, threshing, and bundling all in one operation, working at a speed that finished the fields the production crew had originally planned to take at least three days to clear, all in half a day! For such a blatant violation by the old man, the production team was at a loss, but luckily there was a backup plan, and they made last-minute adjustments to increase activity; otherwise, they wouldn’t have enough material. By evening, after a busy day, everyone was tired. Without a water heater, Qi Shejiang relied on his own skills to boil some hot water, and after everyone had showered, they went to sleep. According to the arrangement made during the day, Zhang Yue and Qi Shejiang shared a bed, and just before sleeping, they overheard Xiao Xiaowei and the others joking about “different dreams on the same bed.” At this hour, Zhang Yue wasn’t feeling very sleepy due to his biological clock; he leaned against the head of the bed playing with his phone, browsing Weibo. He felt quite awkward, not only because of the identity of the person sleeping next to him but also because he was not used to sharing a bed with anyone.
Qi Shejiang lay beside him, eyes closed. “Are you online?” Qi Shejiang spoke without opening his eyes. Zhang Yue was startled. Although he had had conflicts with Qi Shejiang, it was Qi Shejiang who had borrowed the agricultural machine, and he had also started the fire, so there was no reason to turn hostile. “…Yes.” Qi Shejiang asked, “May I ask you a question?” Zhang Yue, guarded after their previous encounters, cautiously replied, “What?” Qi Shejiang enunciated clearly, “What does 23333 mean?” Zhang Yue: “…………” What the hell is 23333! Zhang Yue almost blurted out, “Are you messing with me again?” But he thought about it; there were cameras in the room, so Qi Shejiang probably wouldn’t be that reckless. This guy had western blood and lived abroad; could it be that he wasn’t well-versed in domestic internet culture? Zhang Yue was skeptical as he explained it to Qi Shejiang. Qi Shejiang suddenly understood; so that’s what it means, to laugh! He had seen it while learning about mobile phones and found it perplexing — something the phone’s manual didn’t explain.
