Soon, the terraces and ditches were filled with people.

Not only do we need to drain the water from the fields, but we also need to clear the silt in the ditches so that the water can flow into the river.

At this time, it was still raining, and the old people in the village said that the rain would probably continue for a few more days.

The captain's mouth was almost blistered with anxiety.

If it rains any more, the team’s low crops will be flooded.

But what can they do when they have to depend on the weather for their livelihood?

We can only pray to God and not let the river water flow back into the farmland.

Knowing that today's work was important, no one dared to be lazy. Everyone worked as hard as possible, some dug ditches, some carried mud.

Digging ditches is not an easy job, but Xu Jiaojiao is very strong, and she was not brought up in a pampered way.

In just a short while, she was able to do it quite well.

Even though she had the will and the strength, her body was not strong enough.

Not long after digging, a burning pain came from the palm of my hand again.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

Once again, I cursed in my heart the system that was killing people without compensation.

She is a farm worker, without any practical skills, and just does useless things.

"Jiaojiao, here's a pair of gloves for you."

Suddenly, Ding Xiujing's happy voice came from the side.

Xu Jiaojiao turned around and saw that she was wearing a new pair of work gloves.

"Where did it come from?"

"Hey, why are you asking so many questions? Just put it on."

Ding Xiujing said this as she stuffed the gloves into her hands and turned back to her work.

He looks like he's in a hurry.

Looking at the brand new pair of work gloves in my hand.

Somehow, Xu Jiaojiao's mind flashed back to that expressionless face.

His eyes unconsciously searched the field.

Then I saw the tall man holding a hoe and walking downstream of the ditch.

After a pause, Xu Jiaojiao put on the gloves anyway.

With the help of gloves, it is indeed less painful to do the work.

Xu Jiaojiao was digging the ditch in a very vigorous manner.

The young men beside her were all shocked by her.

A woman who was fairer and prettier than the people in the city was digging the mud with great effort with a hoe in her hand.

That scene seems a bit inconsistent no matter how I look at it.

But it’s nice to see such a delicate and weak woman working so hard.

How could they have the nerve to keep it? How could they put their faces aside when they were outshined by her?

Immediately, everyone worked harder than the other.

It's like a peacock spreading its tail to the female.

"Hey, Lao Qin, your wife is there, why don't you keep an eye on her?"

Zheng Zhaoxing couldn't stand it anymore.

I’m afraid his brother is a monk?

If his wife looked like that, he would just worship her and coax her.

How could anyone show off in front of her?

Hearing this, Qin Shuo paused.

But he didn't look up and continued to dig the mud.

But the strength in his hands was very strong, as if he had a grudge against someone.

Seeing that he didn't listen to his advice, Zheng Zhaoxing couldn't help but shook his head: "See how you regret it then!"

Qin Shuo tightened his grip on the hoe, his face still expressionless, but his eyes were frighteningly dark.

Xu Jiaojiao had no idea what was going on. While working, her mind was still constantly recalling the book she had read last night.

It can be said that he has taken the ability of doing two things at the same time to the extreme.

After digging for a whole morning, the water in the field was almost drained.

Just continue cleaning the gutters in the afternoon.

After doing physical labor for so long, Xu Jiaojiao was so hungry that her eyes were dizzy.

Holding a hoe in her hand, she followed Ding Xiujing dejectedly towards home.

But before he had gone far, he heard someone shouting.

"There are lots of fish in the river, go catch them!"

Upon hearing this, the members, who were originally exhausted, instantly became excited.

They all ran towards the river, carrying their hoes.

The rain had stopped by then.

However, seeing the dark clouds rolling in from the horizon, Xu Jiaojiao felt that it would rain soon.

But this bad weather did not affect everyone's enthusiasm at all.

Soon, the riverside was crowded with people.

Even Xu Jiaojiao was dragged by Ding Xiujing to join in the fun.

As I approached, I heard everyone exclaim "Wow" in unison.

Xu Jiaojiao looked in the direction of the voice and saw the conspicuous tall man.

He was holding a fish weighing several kilograms in his hand, and it looked like it had just come out of the water.

He was soaking wet, his clothes were sticking to his body, and his strong and muscular body was exposed.

"Xu Jiaojiao, your man is amazing!"

Suddenly, a young wife nearby said something enviously.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

"Where? Yours is pretty good too, they caught quite a few fish."

Xu Jiaojiao, who was already familiar with the routine here, responded modestly.

The two began to praise each other's business.

She was so busy praising others that she didn't notice that the man not far away glanced at her.

Then he turned around and went back into the river.

After finally getting rid of the talkative young wife, Xu Jiaojiao heard everyone exclaim "Wow" again.

Looking up, I saw Qin Shuo coming ashore again with a fish that was a little smaller than before in one hand.

And his eyes were looking straight at himself.

When their eyes met, Xu Jiaojiao felt a little guilty for some reason.

Especially when I saw the man slowly stringing the three big fish together, I felt even more weak.

Sure enough, the young wife next to him was not very happy.

It turned out that the four or five fish her man caught were not as big as the one Qin Shuo caught.

They caught three fish this big!

Is this still a human being? !

Xu Jiaojiao felt very bad because she offended people on both sides by praising them.

He simply decided not to join in the fun, said goodbye to Ding Xiujing, turned around and left.

I had not walked far when I heard the familiar footsteps behind me, following me closely.

Somehow, Xu Jiaojiao felt a chill on her back.

When walking, he almost lost his balance.

But their relationship has become so strained, how can she say anything to him?

I could only pretend I didn't know and quickened my pace, rushing home.

Before I got close, I saw a group of children playing in the water at the door from afar.

When they saw the fish in Qin Shuo's hand, they cheered instantly.

"Uncle San has caught fish!"

"Uncle San is so awesome!"

"There's fish to eat!"

…

Soon, all the children gathered around.

It was not until they were surrounded that Xu Jiaojiao realized that Qin Shuo had walked behind her at some point.

She couldn't help but freeze when she smelled the man's steamy breath.

I wanted to stay away from him, but the child blocked my way.

Xu Jiaojiao suspected that if she didn't leave, that moist body would hit her.

"Aunt San will make you some boiled fish tonight, okay?"

It was Xu Jiaojiao's turn to cook today. In order to get them to go back quickly, she spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the children became excited.

They don't understand what it means to cook fish in water or not.

If fish is not boiled in water, should it be boiled in oil?

As long as there is meat to eat, it’s fine!

They happily surrounded the couple and walked towards their home.

Xu Jiaojiao, who had finally escaped, quickly ran to the kitchen.

Behind him, the man's eyes were dim and unclear.
