For a moment, the entire hall was silent. Be it Pang Xiong, Dongzi, or even Lu Liqing, who usually paid no attention to the emotional developments of other people around her, all widened their eyes and stared at He Zhennan and Qin Suyun!

This this this this this...

When did this happen? How come they didn't know?!

Pang Xiong seemed to have a vague idea that He Zhennan had decided to help Qin Suyun work in the fields, but that was just Pang Xiong's secret speculation, and no one else knew about it.

But now, everything is laid out before everyone.

The shock was so great that even the usually calm Dongzi reacted instantly. His mouth opened wide in surprise, and he almost dropped the noodles he hadn't even swallowed yet!

He had seen parents eating their children's leftovers, husbands eating their wives' leftovers, and boyfriends eating their girlfriends' leftovers...

But now this... this this this this...

Dongzi scratched his head vigorously. He remembered that their eldest son had never been with Qin Suyun... Even the time they moved to Wanxi Village was less than half a month!

But if you think about it, it’s not without reason that their eldest brother likes the girl.

The eldest brother of their family was ambushed by the enemy during the earthquake. After being injured, he lived in the girl's house, and was with her day and night for several months. Actually, if you think about it this way, it is not so difficult to accept.

Pang Xiong touched his chin and the corners of his mouth. He felt that even if that incident had not happened, their eldest brother might still come back to see Miss Qin.

No one spoke at the table for a while. Pang Xiong and the other two looked at He Zhennan, then at Qin Suyun, their eyes moving back and forth between the two.

Qin Suyun felt as if she was being stared at by everyone's gazes like a spotlight, and she felt extremely uncomfortable all over. Her mind was a little confused, her heart was beating fast, and her cheeks were burning under the baptism of everyone's gazes.

He Zhennan, on the other hand, seemed not to feel the gazes of the people around him. He continued to eat the noodles in his bowl slowly and attentively, enjoying it very much, as if he had been completely conquered by the taste of the noodles.

Qin Suyun pursed her lips and glared. He Zhennan didn't know what to say, and he walked up the stairs with heavy steps.

Pang Xiong looked at Qin Suyun's somewhat flustered back as she went upstairs, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He waited until Qin Suyun's figure disappeared from his sight, and then waited for another five minutes until there was no other footsteps upstairs.

Pang Xiong then turned his head and fixed his gaze on his boss.

"Boss, do you like Miss Qin?" Pang Xiong narrowed his eyes and said with ill intention, "No wonder you chose this village out of so many places. So... the reason is here!"

"Yes, boss... If you like Miss Qin, you should have told us before... The news was hidden so well, I only found out about it now!" Dongzi also nodded in agreement.

"What's the point of telling you? Now that you know, isn't it the same?" He Zhennan glanced coldly at Dongzi and Pang Xiong and said in a cold voice: "Just don't cause trouble for me here. The rest of the matter is none of your business..."

He chewed the half bowl of noodles that he snatched from Qin Suyun carefully.

Well, it’s definitely better than the one in my bowl… fresher and sweeter!

…

He Zhennan's matter made Qin Suyun feel a little complicated.

Qin Suyun initially only felt gratitude towards He Zhennan. To Qin Suyun, He Zhennan was her savior. She was very grateful whether he had helped her at the hospital gate or saved her in her dream.

But suddenly going from a savior to a pursuer is a huge leap.

This really made Qin Suyun a little uncomfortable.

Do you hate the other person? It seems that you don't hate him/her?

But do I like him? Not to that extent...

Qin Suyun pursed her lips, her heart in turmoil. She didn't know how to face He Zhennan next, and her hands unconsciously pulled the petals of a peach tree that was blooming again in the greenhouse on the third floor.

Five macaws and a beautiful blue-purple macaw flapped their wings and flew to Qin Suyun. They lowered their heads, tilted their heads, twisted their necks, and looked at Qin Suyun.

"Haha, haha, haha... What are you doing? What are you doing? Are the peaches not tasty? Or are the peach blossoms not pretty? Or are you worried about something? Is it that single people are lonely in the spring?... Haha! Haha! Haha! Coo!..." Zhazha jumped back and forth on the peach tree next to him, and his words became more and more naughty.

As a bird, even though Zhazha has grown bigger now, he still prefers to stay on the third floor.

Although the bird's nest where it originally slept could no longer fit in, it asked Qin Suyun to make a bigger bird's nest for it and its wife and hang it in the original location. If the glass house on the third floor had not been built with a three-meter-high shelf, with Zhazha's current height, it would probably not be able to fly in the house.

certainly……

Even so, it's not much better now.

Qin Suyun wanted to build a bigger bird's nest for Zhazha on the fruit tree in the backyard. The backyard was spacious and there were some fruit trees there, but Zhazha directly refused.

How can the taste of the fruits grown outside compare to the fruits on the third floor?

It is a bird that aspires to be a bird that can see food as soon as it opens its eyes in the morning!

Qin Suyun has discovered these days that any vegetables and fruits that she has treated with jade dew will taste much better than those grown outside. Even if the vegetables and fruits have been exposed to the heavy rain and have become extremely strange in taste, after a few days, they will taste much better than before after being sprinkled with jade dew. However, there is still a slight difference from before the mutation, and they are not as good as the vegetables and fruits on the third floor that have been watered with jade dew since childhood.

With so many people living in the house, Qin Suyun didn't have the courage to water the vegetables and fruits on the third floor with jade dew, and just treated them as ordinary varieties.

The fruit trees in the backyard, which had been soaked by the rain overnight and were now growing exceptionally well and already bearing fruit, were watered lightly by Qin Suyun. Perhaps because these fruit trees had grown in size, they needed much more Jade Dew than before. Therefore, the amount of water that would have allowed the small fruit trees on the third floor to bloom and bear fruit within a month had barely changed on the trees downstairs. The only difference was that the fruit, once the size of a grain of rice, had grown to the size of ping-pong balls. This was in addition to the original growth rate of the fruit trees themselves!

Seeing her master looking at her, Taohua started to become dazed again.

Zhazha jumped directly onto Qin Suyun's head in dissatisfaction.

It was as if a heavy stone suddenly fell on Qin Suyun's head, and her neck suddenly felt heavy. Qin Suyun, who was originally in a trance, suddenly woke up, and her eyes were fixed on Zhazha, who was stepping on her head and looking down at her affectionately.

Zhazha blinked twice, as if he sensed the murderous intent in Qin Suyun's eyes. He immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to act recklessly anymore. He flapped his wings and kicked onto the branch next to him to stay with his wife.

Although the two-legged beast in front of him couldn't catch him, the big black cat at home could still catch him easily. When he thought of the fear of being dominated by the black cat, Zhazha became even more well-behaved. He blinked his innocent big eyes at Qin Suyun, as well-behaved as he could be.

Qin Suyun's brain was full of brain matter, and her hair, which had been trampled into a mess, was smoothed down.

Remembering that she still didn't know the name of the blue-purple parrot next to her, Qin Suyun thought for a moment and asked, "What's your wife's name? What should I call it?"

The blue-and-purple macaw, which had been staying at Qin Suyun's house for the past few days and had been well fed and well drunk, was no longer wary of Qin Suyun. Instead, when Qin Suyun stretched out her hand, it raised its head and rubbed it against her.

He scratched the parrot's head with his fingers, and then scratched its chin. Immediately, the blue-violet macaw let out a series of comfortable gurgling sounds from its throat. The whole bird was so well-behaved, completely different from the naughty monkey Zhazha.

When the name of his wife was mentioned, the whole bird became excited again. It shook its feathers, like a victorious rooster, and proudly puffed out its chest. It loudly announced to Qin Suyun, "Butterfly! A girl as beautiful as my wife should be called Butterfly!"

"Only a beautiful, nice, and elegant name like Butterfly can be worthy of my wife! Hahahahaha!!!"

Qin Suyun: “…………”

Qin Suyun was choked for a rare moment and couldn't speak for a long time.

Qin Suyun's look was a little hard to describe. She really didn't expect that a bird would like a name like butterfly. No matter how beautiful a butterfly is, it is only for humans. For birds, shouldn't it be food?

She had an indescribable strange feeling all over her body, but the blue-violet macaw next to her was quite happy. Qin Suyun even saw a hint of shyness from the parrot. The female parrot that was originally rubbing against her fingers was now rubbing against Zhazha.

The two birds chirped as if no one could squeeze in, and pink bubbles of happiness popped up.

Qin Suyun: “…………”

I didn't expect that two birds could fill her mouth with dog food.

However, after being interrupted by the two chirping birds, Qin Suyun's originally troubled mood had calmed down. After the lunch break, when she went to the field again in the afternoon, Qin Suyun no longer showed her original irritable mood.

…

Taking advantage of the good weather these days, everyone is working hard to harvest the crops originally grown in the fields, and the crops that can be planted are planted in the fields again.

It is not easy to harvest the mutated crops, especially since many people do not have diesel at home and cannot even use small agricultural machinery. They can only use the most primitive manual farming, which makes it difficult for those city dwellers who have just moved from the city to the countryside.

Without farm machinery or cattle, they could only go to the fields with their whole family, step by step.

Qin Suyun has a lot of land, and she is alone. Even if Dahei and the others want to help, the most they can do is help her pull the tricycle, hand her a diabolo basket, and do simple things like standing by to protect her. They cannot do more complicated labor with their current physical condition.

After He Zhennan had cleaned up the land on his side, he would come to help Qin Suyun work and harvest crops every day. Even if Big Black Bean stood beside him, staring at him with a fierce look, and even made threatening sounds in his throat, He Zhennan remained unmoved, as if he didn't hear their threats at all.

The look of not taking Dahei and Heidou seriously at all really made the pets at home feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately they had a relatively high IQ and knew that the other party was helping their owner, which could save their owner a lot of effort.

Therefore, even Hei Dou, who disliked He Zhennan the most, never actually rushed forward to bite He Zhennan.

However, the good weather can't last forever...

Just as Qin Suyun finished harvesting the grain from the three acres of land outside and planted the other three acres, it started to rain...

This time the rain wasn't as heavy as before, but it was a typical spring rain, drizzling non-stop from day to night, with almost no respite...

The large families in Wanxi Village naturally finished the work in the fields. The crops that needed to be harvested had been harvested, and the crops that needed to be planted had been planted.

However, families with insufficient labor force are not so lucky.

Even though they tried their best to harvest the crops, they still couldn't collect all the crops in the fields.

The crops in the fields are not as easy to harvest as before. This is not only because of the changes in the size of the crops and vegetables, but also because of the weeds, shrubs, etc. in the fields.

Many times, for example, when digging potatoes, it is convenient to have agricultural machinery. Without agricultural machinery, you have to remove all the weeds and other things above first, and then start digging potatoes down. Otherwise, you will just squat in the pile of weeds that are taller than you. Not to mention whether you can tell where your potatoes are planted, just the mutated insects and mutated voles in the grass are enough to scare you.

If two more mutant snakes come, I really don’t know if they will go in straight and come out lying down!

Therefore, when a family in the village, in order to save trouble, started digging and harvesting crops without removing weeds and shrubs, and was bitten by a snake, the rest of the people no longer had any hope of survival.

In the past, people generally wouldn’t go into the mountains because of the tall weeds. But now, even though this is their own field, they still have to be extra careful!

As a result, the work speed becomes slower.

Qin Suyun was better than others in this regard. She first used a lawn mower to remove all the weeds in the field. With Hei Dou always vigilant beside her, she didn't have to worry about those threatening mutant animals that might suddenly emerge from the grass. As for the shrubs that the lawn mower couldn't cut, she just used a hoe to dig them up.

There are still far fewer shrubs in this field than on both sides of the village road, so most of the time a lawn mower is enough. Then she piles the removed weeds aside before she can continue to harvest the crops in the field.

Although this seems more troublesome, it is actually much more efficient than others.

…

Seeing his boss working for others, Dongzi wanted to help his boss after finishing his own work, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Pang Xiong next to him.

The boss goes to help Miss Qin with work to cultivate their relationship. What's the point of you putting this 5000-watt light bulb there?

Therefore, whether it was Dongzi, Pang Xiong, or even Lu Liqing, they were very tactful and did not go to help He Zhennan and Qin Suyun. After they finished their own work, they went to help the households in the village who had only two laborers left and whose houses were full of orphans and elderly people.

But when Qin Suyun still had two acres of land to harvest, it started to rain. It kept raining. Pang Xiong and Dongzi both frowned. If they had known earlier, they should have helped their future sister-in-law with the work first.

However, when they saw that Qin Suyun was not anxious at all despite the continuous rain outside, they felt a little more relaxed.

Come to think of it...

The two acres of land left by their future sister-in-law are covered with greenhouses, which are enough to block all the rain outside and ensure that the crops and vegetables in the field will not be damaged by the rain.

………

The rain continued for several days, and the soil on the ground was washed into gullies.

Many residents who were afraid that their crops would rot in the fields were really anxious. They watched as the sky had been raining for two or three days with no sign of clearing up, so they all went to the fields wearing straw raincoats. Those who didn't have these asked their children to hold umbrellas for them while they worked hard to harvest the crops in the fields.

As for those who are reluctant to let their children get wet in the rain and do not have these tools to shelter from the rain, they either borrow them from others or just harvest in the rain.

The food in these fields is related to their family's food supply for the coming year.

The changes in these days have been more or less noticed by others.

No one can guarantee that there will be no other disasters in the next year. Now every family is bartering, and without quantity, it is impossible to survive in the days to come.

The two acres of greenhouse in Qin Suyun's family is much more convenient than that of other families. The harvest does not need to be eaten like other families. Except for the trouble of transporting things all the way home from the greenhouse, the rest of the time is almost the same as usual.

But the seedlings that had just been planted in the fields outside suffered.

There is a saying that spring rain is as precious as oil, but there is too much oil and even the newly planted seedlings cannot withstand it.

Therefore, many of the seedlings that had just been planted in the ground and had not yet had time to take root were washed out by the rain.

Therefore, in addition to harvesting the crops in the greenhouse every day, Qin Suyun also had to walk around the fields twice a day to see which areas needed to be replanted or not planted.

Like Qin Suyun, other residents in the village have to check the fields once or twice a day.

Nowadays, when people greet each other, in addition to the old custom of asking each other if they have eaten, the two most common questions are, for example -

"Hey, how many more plants do you need to plant in your fields today? Three more loofah seedlings were washed out in our fields today!"

"Hey! Have you finished harvesting your land? We have already harvested ours. My wife has stored all the corn in the warehouse these days!"

Qin Suyun was also greeted by people in the village several times, and she felt a little amused and helpless every time.

It rained outside every day. Qin Suyun was reluctant to let Dahei, Xiaoqi and the others wander around the mountains every day, so she let them stay at home and rest.

But the house is too small. For big dogs like Dahei and Xiaoqi, the Qin family's house is probably just a dog cage, not much different. Just staying at home for a while is not comfortable. Dahei and Xiaoqi can also sit still, but for too long...

Dahei, Xiaoqi and the others looked as if they had no energy at all and lay on the ground with a lack of interest.

Qin Suyun saw that the dogs in her house seemed a little unhappy. As their owner, she thought about it and could only sigh. She told Dahei and the others to be careful when going out and not to be gored by wild boars or the like in the mountains.

Even though Qin Suyun had never seen what the wild boar looked like after the mutation, she knew that it would definitely be much more difficult to deal with than before the mutation.

She was relieved that Dahei and the others were catching rabbits and pheasants, but as for wild boars... Qin Suyun was still a little worried.

Although the weather was good a few days ago, Dahei and the others did not go into the mountains. They just ran around in the surrounding hills every day. But now that they have settled down, Dahei and the others are definitely not willing to just run and jump on these small hills. They definitely want to go to farther places, just like before.

So this is why Qin Suyun instructed Dahei and the others.

"Woof woof woof!--" Xiao Qi barked at Qin Suyun twice, with his ears erect and tail wagging, looking full of energy, unlike the depressed, lifeless look he had just now, lying on the ground.

"Go, go... The sooner you go, the sooner you come back." Qin Suyun waved at Xiaoqi and the others, telling them to go and play quickly.

With He Zhennan and his group at home, Qin Suyun didn't let any of Xiaoqi and the others stay behind, and asked all nine dogs in the family to go up the mountain with her.

The nine dogs went up the mountain together in a grand manner, looking at Qiu Jiayue who was sitting beside them without saying a word.

In recent days, Qiu Jiayue has also discovered that not only has her speaking status at home declined, but no one is willing to believe what she says.

Although she felt wronged, when Qiu Jiayue found that she couldn't even beat a parrot in the other person's house, she completely gave up struggling. Out of sight, out of mind. Except for eating, Qiu Jiayue rarely stayed in the same space with Qin Suyun.

When Qin Suyun was in the bedroom, Qiu Jiayue came back downstairs to get some fresh air, but when Qin Suyun came to the living room downstairs, she rushed upstairs and locked herself in the bedroom, as if she had no intention of ever seeing Qin Suyun again.

Qin Suyun had no other regrets about this.

As long as the other party doesn't cause her trouble, she will be happy and at peace.
