When the two of them came to the field, the family had already cut more than half of the wheat.

"Let's rest for a while and have dinner." Gao Xiulan gently placed the basket in the propped shed and shouted at the front.

Hearing the sound over there, he threw down his sickle and walked over without hesitation.

"What did you do?" Elder Jiang directly sat cross-legged on the spreading mat, grabbing a big mouthful of cows from the tea mug next to him and drinking a cup.

"Two vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes, and one cold tofu." Gao Xiulan said as she poured out the food, "Chunhua, hurry up and eat."

Xie Zheng sat outside, most of his back exposed to the scorching sun. When Xu Ning saw it, he moved inside silently, and then patted his side.

Xie Zheng was clear, pursed his lips and chuckled, moved to Xu Ning's side twice, then took the chopsticks from his grandmother, and sighed while looking at the food in front of him.

"What's up? What a sigh at a young age." Gao Xiulan looked at her grandson in a dubious manner.

"Tired to eat." Xie Zheng poured a cup of herbal tea, "I'll eat it later."

Elder Jiang glanced at him twice, "Let’s lie down for a while at noon, and the cut will be done soon in the afternoon."

The adults of the two families worked hard together. The two acres of wheat can be cut today. Tomorrow morning, they will go to another field to cut the remaining one acre of wheat. Even if the Jiang family has finished cleaning, the Xu family’s wheat will be left for the next two days.

Naturally, Xu Ning couldn't come to the field with the adults the whole time. Although she didn't think it mattered, she might have to follow her grandma to watch the thresher in the courtyard of the village branch at home from the day after tomorrow.

When she returned home that night, Xu Ning's tired legs trembled. It was the first time that she had done such high-intensity manual labor when she came back from birth. No one else has this situation.

"I'm cooking with Aunt Jiang tonight." Qin Xuejuan rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen, and said to Xu Ning who was sitting on the pony in the courtyard: "Don't go to bed now, wait until the evening is finished."

Xu Ning gave a sorrowful hum, obviously a little sluggish in spirit.

They came back from the wheat fields. She did not slack in the afternoon, and she became more and more skilled in tying the wheat. The adults in both families praised Ning for being able to do it, but she felt that today’s performance was just ordinary, in the end. This body is too tender.

Xie Zheng met Xu Ning who was leaning on Xu Jianjun next to him. Knowing that she was not lightly tired today, he said: "Let’s go to my house and lie down for a while. I will call you during dinner."

Xu Ning reacted slowly to understand what the other party was saying, and shook her head and said, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up from sleep, and I will go home to sleep after eating."

She insisted, but Xie Zheng did not continue to persuade him. It was not him who was uncomfortable anyway.

In the kitchen, Gao Xiulan was stewing fish, taking advantage of the free time, sitting on a small bench and chatting with Yu Chunhua.

"I'd rather be a big girl in a blink of an eye. Last year, I still followed the field for a walk. This year, I was able to work. I looked at this little girl with ingenuity. The bundled wheat looks better than ours."

Qin Xuejuan was distressed and pleased when she heard it, but she heard her mother-in-law say next to her: "Children's family, it's just such a vigor, who knows how it will be in a few days."

Qin Xuejuan was a little uncomfortable at first, but when she saw her mother-in-law's rare gentle expression, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

Presumably the mother-in-law is also very proud, but she is holding this kind of pride in her heart.

Yu Chunhua is naturally happy. Can someone praise her granddaughter for her to be angry?

Although she also knows that she has a bad personality, and her temper says that wind is rain, she has no less affection for this only granddaughter than her parents. During this time, her granddaughter has become sensible, and she has the deepest feelings.

In the past, the child was so squeamish that she couldn't stand it. She also liked to be clean. She always thought about dressing but never washed clothes, let alone work in the field. Now she sees such a change in her eyes.

Gao Xiulan, who has been an old neighbor with Yu Chunhua for decades, couldn't see how this old sister was thinking, and she couldn't help but say, "You are like a tofu heart with a knife mouth. You think I can't see how happy you are. "

"Then what else are you talking about." Yu Chunhua glared at each other angrily, "That's my granddaughter, can I not know when I become sensible?"

"It's all right, what you say is what you say." Gao Xiulan was happily closing her mouth from ear to ear, "but I look at it but feel distressed. This white, tender and delicate little girl has become a small fire after a day. People, go back to talk at night, don't let her go tomorrow, stay at home."

"Who cares about her." Yu Chunhua didn't say yes, nor did she say no, she hummed and stooped to add firewood to the stove.

In the courtyard, the evening breeze was cool, and Xu Ning just leaned on his father's shoulder and squinted.

"Oh, my eldest daughter..." Xu Jianjun turned his head to look at his bewildered daughter, feeling terribly distressed. He had never seen Xu Ning who was tired of sleeping.

However, she was about to eat dinner, she must not be allowed to sleep like this, she still had to wake up.

"Dad, don't pinch my face." Perceiving Xu Jianjun's palm on her face, Xu Ning mumbled, then opened his eyes.

Xu Jianjun laughed, "Aren't you asleep?"

"I'm not so tired yet." After sitting up and thinking for a while, she stood up on her knees, "I'll go home first."

"What are you doing? Let's eat right away."

"I'll be back in ten minutes."

When she got home, she found two pieces of clothes and went into a cabin next to the kitchen. Inside was their bathing place. Although there was no solar energy, Xu Jianjun placed a black plastic bucket on the roof of the house. You can take a shower. Although the water temperature is a little hot, it is not too hot.

Although I had washed one before, I sweated quickly and my arms were irritating.

This situation can only be endured, and it will naturally recover after a few days.

When Xie Zheng came in, he saw Xu Ning wearing a white short-sleeved shirt combing her long wet hair in front of the hall. His appearance was really tempting.

"It's going to be dinner soon," he said.

Xu Ning lifted her hair and glanced at him, "I'll be over right away."

While talking, he moved a long hair to his back, regardless of whether he was going to wet his clothes later, and followed Xie Zheng with his slippers.

A rich fragrance was blown into Xie Zheng's nose by the evening breeze, sweet and itchy, but not greasy.

This night, Xie Zheng had no accidental insomnia. He woke up in the morning and discovered an unspeakable secret.

Gao Xiulan, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, looked at her grandson's unconscious appearance, and smiled: "Did you sleep well? Were you tired yesterday? Tomorrow you and Ningning will be at home looking at the thresher."

"...I know." That little physical work is not tiring, and the reason is not at all, but how could he say it.

What a secret, it looks like the real thing, but it's just a dream.
