The person who walked by was indeed Shen Yunfang's future uncle, named Li Hongxing, twenty-eight years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite the handsome figure.
Shen Yunfang and Sister Meiling had just finished sweeping the rice into the cloth bag in the trough, ready to notify the next family to mill the rice, when Li Hongxing came looking for them.
After entering Gaijiatun, Li Hongxing went straight to Shen Yunfang's house, but of course, as usual, the steel "general" stood guard at the door. He inquired around and finally found out that his future sister-in-law was milling rice at the production team's place.
Then, Li Hongxing headed back toward the entrance of the village, coincidentally catching up with Shen Yunfang and Sister Meiling as they were finishing packing the rice bags and preparing to go home.
