The sun rises in the east as usual.

After the cock crowed for the third time, the Jiang family members got up one after another.

Around 11:00 am was the golden period for harvesting rapeseed and winter wheat. When the slogan of going to work rang out, half-grown children followed the adults to go to the fields.

The men were responsible for following behind and picking up the scattered wheat ears, and the team gave them half a day's work points.

Therefore, after Jiang Ningning got up, there was no one at home.

Xia Xia sat under the eaves reading quietly, occasionally counting on the ground with a branch. Judging from the marks on the ground, 께Tuan떚 had gotten up quite early.

The other group went somewhere to have fun.

Hearing the noise, Xia Xia raised her head, her clear black eyes sparkling with light: "Mom, you got up so late today, are you too tired last night?"

Jiang Ningning's cheeks suddenly turned red.

The couple lost control the first time and were too indulgent.

"There's egg and brown sugar water boiling in the pot." Xia Xia closed the book, took her hand and walked to the kitchen.

"Grandma Zeng said you were carsick yesterday and needed to replenish your body, so she asked me to supervise you to drink it all."

께께 was alone, with her hands on her hips, and saw with her own eyes Jiang Ningning finish the whole bowl of brown sugar and egg water.

I reached out and patted her shoulder, imitating her previous way of praising her: "My mother is amazing, the best mother in the world."

Jiang Ningning's heart trembled with joy when she saw her cute face shaking her head.

She bent down, picked him up and gave him a big kiss: "My dear, you are really my sweetheart."

Xia Xia's face wrinkled, she twisted to her feet, pursed her lips and said pitifully, "But my cousin's wife said that you will have brothers and sisters soon, and by then, my brother and I will no longer be your beloved ones."

This sentence reminded Jiang Ningning that she had to go back and get the family planning supplies.

"No, you two are enough for mom."

What birth?

Did you make a lot of money? Isn’t it great to be a painless mother?

Hearing the solemnity in his words, Tuan smiled and dimpled instantly, snap! Kiss back on mommy’s pretty cheek.

The mother and daughter were affectionate for a while, and then Jiang Ningning returned to the south wing, rolled up her sleeves, carefully looked through the account books, and cleaned the place at the same time.

There was nothing in the box or on the beams. Thinking of the plot in the movie, she even bent her fingers and tapped on the wall and floor, feeling around for a hollow space.

Unfortunately, after working all morning, I still found nothing.

This is strange, where else can the account books be hidden?

The only thing missing was to open the kang and check inside.

Jiang Ningning couldn't help but sigh, wishing that Black Panther was here, because this guy had a very sensitive nose and might be able to find the thing quickly.

At this moment, the bell for the end of work rang in the distance, and the people from Lao Jiang's family came back one after another.

A family of more than a dozen people walked through the village, and most of them were envious, but there were naturally some who gloated over others' misfortune.

Although having more people means earning more work points, it also means eating more. Every day when I open my eyes, there are so many mouths waiting to feed me.

Dividing the family was the wisest decision Cai Jinhua had ever made.

The whole family only gathered together to eat during the harvest season, and the great-grandson's wife, who was pregnant, stayed behind to cook.

The half chicken left over from yesterday was stewed with some radish and cabbage. It filled up a whole iron pot, and there was a pot of pancakes stacked high next to it.

Both adults and children swallowed their saliva frantically.

Hu didn't bother to wash his face first, and ran to Jiang Ningning, panting, looking up and said, "We met our cousin on the way. Manman and her went to the commune to play brick pulling."

Pulling bricks...

Jiang Ningning curled up her toes in embarrassment. There was no doubt that the bricks must have been brought back to repair the kang.

He grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into Hu's pocket, saying with a smile, "Give it to your brothers and sisters to share."

Looking at her smiling face, his big tiger eyes flickered and he said unconsciously, "Cousin, you are so pretty, ten thousand times prettier than Lin the educated youth from the city."

Jiang Ningning keenly smelled something strange and asked, "Who is Lin Zhiqing?"

"Lin Zhiqing is my third brother's girlfriend. They have been dating for more than a year. Whenever we cook some meat at home, my third brother always brings her back to eat."

Hu had just finished speaking when there was a noise in the yard.

Then Tiger Mom said in a sarcastic voice: "Oh, Lin Zhiqing's nose is very sensitive today. He can smell the stewed meat in my house from such a far distance."

Nowadays, it is rare to see meat on the dinner table of every household. There are so many people in Lao Jiang’s family that each person can only get two or three pieces of meat.

If one more outsider comes at this time, it would be like snatching meat from our bowl.

Lin Zhiqing was shy, and when she heard her opponent mocking her as a dog-nosed person, she turned around and tried to leave in shame and anger.

Third Brother Jiang quickly grabbed her hand and begged humbly, "Don't go. I'll give you my share of the meat. The harvest is hard work, and you're so thin. You need to eat some more."

When Auntie heard what the fool said, she was so angry that her heart ached and she simply went into the kitchen to busy herself, hoping that out of sight she would not see anything.

Logically speaking, after dating for more than a year, it's time to talk about marriage.

But Lin Zhiqing kept dragging it on, saying that she was trying to persuade her family to agree, so she asked Sha'er to work for her every now and then, and to go to Lao Jiang's house from time to time to improve their lives.

Isn't it her face that she relies on?

Everyone knew that Lin Zhiqing was hooking up with Jiang Laosan, but she just enjoyed it.

"Dinner is ready!" Cai Jinhua shouted.

The others no longer cared about gossip and rushed into the main hall.

This time, there were two empty seats next to Cai Jinhua, and even Old Man Jiang was squeezed to the edge.

Lin Zhiqing felt surprised, and soon, footsteps were heard outside the house.

Everyone turned their heads to look in tacit understanding.

Because they were waiting for Hu to wash his face, Jiang Ningning came late with the two dogs. She was wearing a light yellow blouse and walking in a hurry, with her cheeks flushed.

Even though they were shocked by her beauty yesterday, they were still stunned at this moment.

"Third brother, this is what we call beautiful!" Tiger Mom took the opportunity to speak, "Take a closer look at your cousin Ningning when you have time. Maybe she can save your precarious aesthetic taste."

This is so heartbreaking.

In an instant, Lin Zhiqing's face turned extremely ugly. He clenched the chopsticks with such force that his fingertips turned white. He reached out and poked the unresponsive Jiang Laosan.

In the past, she had often used this face to get men to do things for her.

The Jiang family's conditions are among the best in the brigade, and Jiang Laosan is the most honest and selfless suitor she has carefully selected.

No matter how good the Jiang family's conditions are, can they compare to those in the city?

She had been dragging her feet and was unwilling to agree to get married, hoping that one day she would find a more capable man and dump Jiang Lao San.

But now, the assets that she was so proud of were not comparable to Jiang Ningning.

Just like a firefly light dare not compete with the bright moon, it is crushed to pieces.

Especially when Jiang Ningning's almond-shaped eyes accidentally fell on her, Lin Zhiqing felt that her eyes were full of mockery, and a sudden surge of resentment arose in her heart.

Not wanting to be looked down upon by Jiang Ningning, she stiffened her neck and said, "Grandma, I came here to discuss marriage with the third child, not to get a free meal."

He emphasized the word "free meal" particularly.

"Really?" Jiang Lao San was overjoyed when he heard that, and the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

Others were as though they had seen a ghost.

In order to prove that what he said was true, Lin Zhiqing straightened his chest and said, "I will take a leave in the afternoon to go to the commune and call my parents."

Jiang Laosan wished he could go alone with her, but it was totally unrealistic.

One year of labor is equivalent to ten work points.

The team leader would definitely not let us go during the busy farming season, and my parents would not agree.

I could only suggest: "My brother-in-law is going to the commune to pull bricks. You can ride the donkey cart back to the brigade with us."
