It was okay at the beginning, but as time passed, sweat kept coming out. Although she was wearing long-sleeved clothes, she was still hurt and itchy when she was stabbed by wheat. Then let the sweat soak, the taste is just Not to mention.

I thought I had suffered for decades. This is nothing at all, but I overestimated this tender body.

"Wearing." A straw hat was buttoned on the top of his head. "You know you want to go to the ground, don't you remember to wear a straw hat when you go out?"

Xie Zheng saw her flushed little face, the sweat on it kept slipping, and even her breathing became quicker, "First wipe her face, I'll go carry water."

Now she really feels breathless, and her waist and knees are sore, especially her arms, she can't wait to pick up her sleeves and scratch them vigorously.

Looking down at the towel in her hand, she didn’t care about the stains on it. She wiped it twice on her face indiscriminately. This was a little better. She used her sleeves to wipe sweat before, and she hasn’t been on the ground for many years. I don't remember the basic common sense. Her parents didn't mention it, because they didn't want her to work in the field.

Xie Zheng came back soon and poured her a cup of water from the bamboo basket. "Let you slow down, go to the floor and rest for a while when you are tired. Does your arm hurt?"

"...It's okay." Xu Ning's eyes were dodged, she didn't want to be so useless.

"Don't come in the afternoon. The sun is stronger in the afternoon. You will suffer if you peel off the skin." I saw when I was carrying water. The wheat bundled by Xu Ning is very regular, and unless it is the kind of broken wheat ears. , Otherwise there are almost no remnants in the field, even the broken wheat ears will be piled up by her, it is obvious that the work was done carefully.

But no matter how careful she is, it hurts to see her now.

Xu Ning nodded indiscriminately, sipping water while holding the tea mug, but his eyes motioned him to leave quickly.

"I'm fine, anyway, it's just a few days, or it's useless for me to leave this wheat vacation." Letting them come back from the vacation is to help the adults harvest wheat together, and she just feels tired, but she does work. She didn't think there was anything that wasn't tired, she was just used to it.

Seeing her like this, Xie Zheng was silent for three seconds and then left without saying anything else.

I don't know if he is angry, Xu Ning drank full water, put the lid of the tea jar on the edge of the ridge, bent down and continued to work.

Xu Jianjun, who bends down to cut the wheat in front of him, occasionally looks back at Xu Ning. He was surprised to see that she had been bending over to work this half of the morning.

His precious girl is squeamish. Xu Jianjun, a father, knows better than anyone else. In the end, how much Xu Ning inherited his wife’s temperament. Qin Xuejuan was also a delicate girl back then, but it was because of her own relationship that she was killed. I have worn away a lot of that kind of squeamishness. Who knew that I gave birth to a girl, but inherited most of it.

However, because both of them are making money now, it is very simple to support a girl, and there is no strict requirement for her. After a big deal, the girl will also marry nearby so that the couple can take care of it.

Who would have thought that when I saw it today, this child didn't slack in his work, let alone shouting hard and tired. I really don't know how he changed his temper.

"Grandma, it's too early. You can lead Ningning back soon." Xie Zheng came over with water and said to Gao Xiulan.

Gao Xiulan looked up at her grandson and said with a smile: "It's only half past nine, and I'll go back at half past ten."

But after speaking, she looked at her grandson winking at her, and she suddenly came over, "Okay, it's okay to go back soon."

Taking the tea mug from Xie Zheng, she leaned in front of her grandson and said in a low voice: "You smelly boy, you have so many eyes."

Xie Zheng was speechless, he really didn't think much about where his mind came from.

The main reason is that the girl doesn't know the severity of her work, she doesn't know how to be lazy when she's so tired, she also stoops down and does her head hard.

The sun above his head was so fierce that he felt the heat all over his body irritated and uncomfortable, not to mention this delicate little girl.

Through this observation, Xie Zheng found that her previous life must have been extremely difficult, which created the difference in her personality.

Ignoring the inexplicable depression in my heart, he grabbed the sickle and continued to squat to cut the wheat. He did more and the girl would be less tired, otherwise she would definitely have to follow so hard during the wheat harvest these few days.

Xu Ning was still busy here, so I saw Gao Xiulan walking over with a bamboo basket.

"Ningning, it's too early, go home with Grandma Gao to make lunch."

She wiped the sweat on her face and stood up, raised her hand to cover her forehead, and looked at the sun above her head, "It's noon so soon?"

"It's not something. It's almost ten o'clock. If you don't hurry, they should be hungry." Gao Xiulan patted Xu Ning's shoulder, "Let's go, let's go back and rest for a while."

"Oh." Xu Ning didn't think much, greeted her parents far away, and walked home behind Gao Xiulan.

Back home, Gao Xiulan hurriedly asked Xu Ning to wash and cool off. The little girl's white and tender face was directly sun-dried into tomatoes this morning. It's pitiful that Gao Xiulan feels distressed.

Xu Ning also did not refuse, walked to the wash stand in the yard, scooped two scoops of cold water, and directly picked it up and patted her face. The cool water instantly dissipated the hot heat on her face, making her almost unable to hold back a moan. Speak out, this feeling is simply not too refreshing, you can't wait to bury your head directly in and not come out.

"Grandma Gao, too." Xu Ning was not too indulgent. After all, she still helped her make lunch at noon.

"Well, this weather is really hot and life-threatening."

At noon, Xu Ning helped Gao Xiulan prepare a lot of meals. Among them, only steamed buns were prepared with a full basket. The vegetables were also meat and vegetables. In the end, it was hard work, and you had to eat some meat to supplement your energy.

Gao Xiulan sorted out the clay pots with vegetables, and said: "When we come back tonight, let's cook fish. Do Ningning like steamed or braised?"

"I like all tastes." Xu Ning is telling the truth, she is not a picky eater.

"Then let's steam it tonight, braise it in braised sauce tomorrow night, and come in a different way." Gao Xiulan said with a smile.

After finishing their work, they looked at it at half past eleven, and the two of them returned to the ground with the cooked food.

Because the food is afraid of being spilled on the way, after it is done, it is first placed in a very clean clay pot, and then poured into a deep dish when it is eaten on the ground.

Gao Xiulan carried a basket in one hand, and Xu Ning carried a basket of steamed buns.

On the way to the fields, you can also see several women who are also carrying food and going to the fields. In their rural areas, they were still harvesting wheat by hand. This situation can be seen every year until later. Mechanization replaces labor, which is not seen anymore.
