Erni held the egg in her hand, staring blankly at the figure's back.

Just as I was about to find a place to secretly eat the eggs, I saw another familiar figure.

Reflexively, Erni hid the egg in her hand behind her.

Qin Shuo looked at his little niece with complicated eyes.

Having served in the army for many years, he had no idea how to get along with these children.

Qin Shuo tried to smile at him. But as soon as he moved his lips, he saw his little niece tremble all over, with tears in her eyes.

"Chicken, eggs for you..."

Qin Shuo: ...

"Uncle San, no, eat it yourself." Knowing that she was afraid of him, Qin Shuo did not try to get close to her again.

Just wait for her to finish eating at a distance, and then take her back.

Xu Jiaojiao, who had just returned home, was called to water the vegetables.

Xu Jiaojiao had never watered the vegetables, but the original owner had, so she naturally knew where the private plot was.

She responded crisply and went out carrying the bucket.

Wang Fengmei's face lit up with joy when she saw how diligent she was.

"Remember to pick some vegetables."

"Oh, I get it, Mom." Xu Jiaojiao called out "Mom" without any burden.

After staying here for two days, Xu Jiaojiao finally figured it out.

As long as she is at home, Wang Fengmei usually favors her more.

When she goes out to work, she can't take care of her anymore.

Those two sisters-in-law can only trip me up when I go out.

Ding Xiujing is a person who hates evil.

Since I became more diligent, she got along better with me.

Yesterday, Liu Zhaodi distributed the porridge fairly, and at first Xu Jiaojiao thought it was because of her hard work.

Later I thought about it and realized that it was all thanks to Qin Shuo.

Probably because he was back, she didn't dare to be too hard on herself.

Xu Jiaojiao carried a bucket of water and walked towards her private plot while humming a song.

After walking for a while, I suddenly found that the road was very familiar.

Isn’t this the path she took when she came back from the river just now?

Sure enough, not long after, they ran into the uncle and nephew.

One of them was covered in moisture, walking in front, and the other one was following timidly with his head down.

When she saw her, Erni felt like she had seen a savior, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Er Ni, go help Aunt San pick vegetables." Xu Jiaojiao couldn't bear the pitiful look and spoke up.

Hearing this, Erni nodded wildly, turned around and ran after Xu Jiaojiao.

Qin Shuo: ...

Looking at the backs of the two figures, one big and one small, their paces are obviously different, yet inexplicably harmonious.

Qin Shuo's eyes were somewhat complicated.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't care what he thought. If the system hadn't forced her to do so, she would have given up right from the start.

As for tasks, whoever likes can do it.

She didn't want to appear in front of him no matter what. It would be embarrassing every time they met.

The private plot was soon reached.

Xu Jiaojiao drew two buckets of water from the river, picked up the carrying pole and prepared to pick up the buckets.

The two buckets of water together weighed about a hundred pounds. Estimating the weight, she exerted force suddenly.

Who knew that Xu Jiaojiao almost fell down because of using too much force!

d(?д??)

When did she become so strong?

Carrying the bucket on your shoulder doesn't actually require much effort, except for the pain in your shoulder.

Xu Jiaojiao picked up the water easily.

…

So that towel was really torn by her?

Xu Jiaojiao recalled the scene of herself carrying tea leaves these past two days. She had always thought that tea leaves were so light...

It turns out that’s not the case!

Have I turned into a Barbie doll?

Facts have proved that Xu Jiaojiao's strength has really increased!

Without much effort, she carried two buckets of water to her private plot.

"Jiaojiao, are you watering the vegetables today?" A young daughter-in-law greeted.

"Yeah, your vegetables are growing really well." Xu Jiaojiao said enviously.

"I'm telling you, just piss yourself a little and you'll be guaranteed to look as good as mine."

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

It's really a tie! Reminded her of this again.

After responding with an awkward smile, Xu Jiaojiao continued to carry water to the vegetable field.

In the vegetable garden, Erni has already picked a basket of vegetables.

A six-year-old child is so sensible that it makes people sad.

When I saw her coming back with water, I wanted to go up and help her water the plants.

"Er Ni, go play over there, Aunt San will come."

As Xu Jiaojiao spoke, she picked up the water scoop, scooped up a scoop of water according to her memory, and poured it towards the vegetable field.

The green vegetables fell down immediately!

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

This is embarrassing.

Erni approached timidly, looking like she wanted to speak but didn’t dare.

"Do you know how to water it?"

Xu Jiaojiao asked, and she nodded shyly.

Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao didn't feel embarrassed and directly handed the scoop to her.

"Then you come and teach Auntie San. I have forgotten a little."

Hearing this, Erni finally smiled.

He took the ladle from her hand, scooped half of the water out, and threw it diagonally in the air.

The water was splashed out evenly, falling on the leaves like rain.

"Wow, you're so awesome!" Xu Jiaojiao praised sincerely.

The child's face was flushed, and he looked excited to be recognized.

Xu Jiaojiao felt even more sad.

"Next time, when Auntie San brings a watering can, can you help me water the plants?"

Hearing this, Erni nodded, her face full of anticipation.

Xu Jiaojiao laughed and rubbed her head.

But he felt a head of hair that looked like dead grass.

"Be good, go catch some grasshoppers over there. We'll roast them and eat them later."

"Hey!" The child's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Xu Jiaojiao touched her head again and motioned for her to go play.

Erni then acted like a child, happily going to the bush to catch grasshoppers.

With Erni's demonstration just now, Xu Jiaojiao became more and more adept at watering the plants.

Time and again, watching the streaks of water splashing across the air, Xu Jiaojiao actually felt very healed.

With her efforts, a large piece of private land was watered in no time.

Erni, who was standing by the field, also walked towards her with a grasshopper in her clothes.

"Let's go roast some grasshoppers."

There was a bonfire in the distance, so Xu Jiaojiao skewered the grasshoppers and roasted them over the bonfire.

After a while, a fragrant smell came.

Gulu

It was the sound of someone swallowing.

Xu Jiaojiao turned her head and saw Erni looking at the string of roasted grasshoppers.

"Wait, let me see if it's cooked."

As Xu Jiaojiao spoke, she picked up the grasshopper and peeled some of it. When she saw that the inside was cooked, she handed one to her.

The two of them squatted by the fire, eating roasted grasshoppers one by one.

It wouldn't taste very good if it were roasted like this, but her body was in dire need of meat.

Even with just a little bit of egg white, Xu Jiaojiao ate it with gusto.

When we got back, the sun had already set.

Xu Jiaojiao held the carrying pole with one hand and carried the vegetables with the other, with a small figure following her.

One big and one small were walking and chatting, but the older one actually talked more.

That sweet and soft voice was heard all the way.

He said meaningless words, but he made the kid next to him laugh from time to time.

"Isn't Third Aunt super awesome?" the eldest one looked very proud.

"Awesome!" The little one was full of admiration.

Behind them, a tall figure followed in the distance.

The look became increasingly complex and difficult to discern.
