Jiang Yanxia smiled and nodded.

"You're right, it's okay to find Meng Ge'er! But I can't live without you, you're my best sister!"

Zhuang Zhimeng also laughed.

"Hehe, yes, you're my best sister too!"

After Jiang Yanxia finished her herbal tea, she pulled Zhuang Zhimeng aside.

"Zhimeng, wait for me a moment. My task is almost finished. I'll go with you to deliver herbal tea to Meng Ge'er and Brother An."

Zhuang Zhimeng nodded.

"Okay, I'll finish delivering to the people nearby first, and then you can come with me to deliver to them."

Jiang Yanxia happily agreed.

"Okay, I'll be done soon. I'll come find you in a bit!"

By the time Jiang Yanxia came up from the field, Zhuang Zhimeng had already delivered all the herbal tea to the people nearby.

The two of them went together to deliver herbal tea to An Qingbai and Su Mengmeng.

Jiang Yanxia helped Zhuang Zhimeng all the way to the threshing ground, where An Qingbai and Su Mengmeng were now threshing wheat with a tractor.

The threshed grain was piled up like mountains on the threshing floor. During the day, the grain had to be spread out to dry, and at night it had to be gathered up again.

Bundling wheat ears, carrying wheat, drying wheat, winnowing wheat, picking straw—each person performed their duties, no one had time to talk or chat, constantly repeating the farm work they were responsible for, just like tireless machines.

The roar of tractors and threshing machines rose and fell, making one's scalp tingle and buzzing in one's ears.

Someone spotted Zhuang Zhimeng and Jiang Yanxia and immediately teased An Qingbai and Su Mengmeng.

"Hey, An Laosan and Su Zhiqing, your partners are here to bring you herbal tea. Aren't you going to go and greet them?"

An Qingbai and Su Mengmeng stopped the tractor, accepted the teasing, and went to greet their partner.

The two spoke in unison.

"Zhizhi, you're here!"

"Xiazi, you're here too!"

Zhuang Zhimeng and Jiang Yanxia each handed the herbal tea to their partners.

"Brother Qingbai, it must be hot, right? Come and have some herbal tea to cool down!"

"Brother Meng, here's some herbal tea for you. You're all sweaty, don't get heatstroke!"

An Qingbai and Su Mengmeng both smiled and said so.

"I can still do it!"

They accepted the herbal tea one after another and drank it all in one gulp.

"Zhizhi, we have to go now. You guys go and continue delivering to others."

"Xiazi, go ahead, Brother An and I are going to get busy!"

Zhuang Zhimeng and Jiang Yanxia didn't linger and continued serving herbal tea to the others.

Herbal tea is one of the few refreshing things that can be enjoyed in the sweltering summer.

The sun relentlessly scorched the earth, with ground temperatures reaching over forty degrees Celsius. Time was tight and the task was heavy, posing a huge challenge to everyone.

Sweating profusely is the norm for everyone during the double harvest season. Sweat stains on clothes are repeated again and again, and sometimes even covered with white frost. But no one complains about the hardship or fatigue. Everyone is determined to complete the harvest and planting of grain.

After the wheat harvest is completed, crops such as soybeans, corn, sweet potatoes, and rice must be planted immediately, as missing the planting season will affect the harvest.

If it rains, they have to keep working even while wearing raincoats. Often, they will cover the grain with plastic sheeting to prevent it from getting wet.

The sky cleared up as soon as the plastic sheet was put up. I was so angry I could jump up and down, but there was nothing I could do. Whether the weather is good or bad depends on whether God will be kind to us.

After more than twenty days of harvesting, everyone had at least a layer of skin peeled off from the sun.

But looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, you can tell that this double rush has successfully completed all the tasks of harvesting and planting.

The night before they were to deliver the grain to the town, the brigade leader assigned An Qingbai and Su Mengmeng to guard the grain, and they were on duty from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m.

Zhuang Zhimeng and Jiang Yanxia came to keep their partners company, worried that they might be bored. Zhuang Zhimeng even brought her own fur balls.

Zhuang Zhimeng felt that the two dogs had gotten a little fat recently, so she took them out to exercise.

The four sat together, while the fluffy ball lay on the ground, feeling hot.

Jiang Yanxia pointed to the fluffy ball and asked Zhuang Zhimeng.

"Zhimeng, you brought them both? Have you been eating too well lately? You've lost weight, but the dogs have gotten fat!"

Zhuang Zhimeng looked helplessly at the fluffy ball.

"I also feel that the fluffy balls have gotten a bit chubby! I don't know if it's because we've been cooking delicious food for you guys during the double harvest season, and they've been eating too much. You can see with the naked eye that they've gotten fat!"

An Qingbai listened to their conversation, looked at the fluffy ball, and made a suggestion.

"Zhizhi, how about I train the fluffy balls?"

Before Zhuang Zhimeng could agree, Maoqiu and Maotuan seemed to understand and started barking at An Qingbai.

Su Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, Brother An, the fluffy balls and furry bundles disagree. Be careful, they might not let you see the boss again!"

An Qingbai was about to laugh and pretend to hit the dog when he suddenly realized something was wrong. The fur ball was clearly barking wildly in the direction behind him, so he quickly reminded it softly.

"Shh, listen, someone's probably trying to steal our grain!"

Zhuang Zhimeng trusted Qingbai's judgment and immediately patted the heads of Maoqiu and Maotuan. They immediately stopped barking, and the entire granary was filled with the sound of breathing.

"Sister, did the Anyang brigade really have a bumper harvest? Is someone watching the granary now? I think I heard a dog barking?"

"How can you be so cowardly? Don't forget that An Qingsong and I are not divorced yet! This grain is mine, isn't it only right that I take back my own grain?"

"sister…"

"Stop calling me 'sister' all the time! While the granary is empty, why don't you hurry up and steal the grain?"

All four people in the granary heard it, and the other three looked at An Qingbai.
