Lu Yu felt embarrassed and went down the canal again. He checked that there were no leeches in the water and continued to touch his snails.

Seeing that the sun was shining brightly, Lu Ting dragged Su Yan towards his grandfather's house. Lu Jin caught up with them and said, "Brother, I want to go to the fields with my uncle tomorrow."

Lu Ting paused, turned around and asked Lu Jin, "Do you want to experience the hard work of farming? Their village chief won't let outsiders come to their village to earn work points. If you want to work in the fields, the farm still has some wasteland that hasn't been reclaimed. I'll take you there in a few days."

Lu Jin was a little annoyed. Was he thinking too simply? Didn't his father ask them to come early to help his uncle harvest rice?

In the afternoon, Tian Xiuhe and Hua Zhang both went to work, leaving only Lu Ting's grandparents at home.

Lu Ting was worried that Su Yan would be bored at home, so he went to fetch water from the well, wrapped the jelly seeds that his grandfather had dried in gauze, and rubbed them in the well water over and over again.

Su Yan regretted rubbing the jelly with her hands. The jelly she rubbed with her hands was sticky and didn't look very clean.

After the jelly solidified, Lu Jin used a large spoon to scoop a bowl for Su Yan and added two spoonfuls of white sugar and one spoonful of white vinegar to the bowl.

When watching Lu Ting kneading the jelly, Su Yan was actually quite pretentious and always felt that it was unhygienic. When the jelly was ready and brought to her, she forgot how Lu Ting kneaded the jelly before and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

The cafeteria kitchen in the space seems to have two large boxes of small boxes of jelly, which also contain mint powder. Each small box is only one or two yuan, which is very cheap.

Brew with boiling water, one box can make a large bowl of tea, let it cool down and then put it in the refrigerator for a few hours, pour in brown sugar water, and then pour in a can of Xiduoduo, and you will feel cool all over.

After her grandfather's birthday, she would go home and make ice jelly for herself. She would add various ingredients to the jelly, such as raisins, crushed peanuts... whatever she wanted.

In the evening, Tian Xiuhe killed a duck for Lu Ting and the others, fried the frogs that Lu Yu and the others caught, and also fried the bacon and sausages they brought. She also made a loofah soup, stir-fried beans, and braised winter melon, making it feel like Chinese New Year.

After dinner, they took turns taking a bath. Hua Zhang removed two door panels and placed them in the yard with a long bench. Then he moved out the bamboo bed from their room.

"It's too stuffy at home, let's sit in the yard and enjoy the cool air!"

"Dad, Lu Yu and I will sleep in the yard tonight!"

"As long as you are not afraid of mosquito bites, you can sleep outside!"

It is hot and stuffy in the summer, so many people do sleep in the yard.

Su Yan was completely overwhelmed. The lack of fans wasn't a big deal, but Lihua Village had no electricity. Furthermore, the Hua family only had two kerosene lamps, and the candles were something Hua Nan had bought specially today.

She thought her uncle's house would have electricity, but it turned out that only a few households in the village had electricity.

Now they sat in the dark in the yard, enjoying the cool air, listening to the frogs croaking and the cicadas chirping. Lu Ting fanned Su Yan while they listened to their grandparents recounting their childhood tales of embarrassment.

As Hua Guotao was talking, he suddenly talked about Lu Ting's childhood. "Xiaoyan, don't look at Xiao Ting as calm and composed now. He was very naughty when he was young. When he was three years old, our hen hatched a brood of chicks.

He caught a chick every day and fed it food and water. Eventually, the chick fainted. I don't know what he was thinking, but he went to the kitchen, got a big bowl, covered the chick, and knocked the bowl with chopsticks to bring it back to life."

Su Yan glanced at Lu Ting. She didn't expect that this guy would treat chickens as toys when he was a child. He played with chickens when he was young, and he played with his own when he grew up. Especially when she was not convenient, he played with them quite a lot.

Su Yan's meaningful look made Lu Ting's back numb.

They sat in the yard for more than an hour, and then Mr. Hua took the old lady back to their room.

Lu Yu felt the room was too hot and decided to sleep outside tonight. Huanan gave his room to Su Yan and Lu Ting, and he and Lu Jin slept on a door panel each. They lit a mosquito coil under the stool to avoid mosquito bites.

Lu Chen and Lu Yu slept on the bamboo bed. Lu Ting lit a candle and took Su Yan into the room.

At first they slept outside. After everyone at home fell asleep, Su Yan took Lu Ting into the space.

Seeing that Su Yan was listless, Lu Ting asked, "Yan Yan, do you think the countryside is boring?"

"The countryside is actually quite interesting. It's not as convenient as at home, and it's hot."

"Tomorrow I'll take you to the creek and play in the water. It won't be so hot."

"Lu Ting, do you think my aunt will come to help us take care of the baby?"

Lu Ting hugged Su Yan and comforted her, "Yan Yan, don't worry. Our arrangement has freed Auntie from worries. She will definitely come to help us take care of the child."

Asking an outsider to take care of the children would definitely be easily accused of being a capitalist, but this person was Lu Ting's aunt, so they said she came to help. Even if they knew that she was paid, they would not say much.

Hua Jing told this to her boyfriend Qin Xianhe before leaving, and Qin Xianhe was a little hesitant.

"Xiao Jing, if you go to help Xiao Ting take care of the kids, there'll be no one to take care of our Xiao Rui. It's all my fault for being so useless that you can't live a good life."

"Leave it to your parents. We'll give them ten dollars a month."

Although Lu Ting suggested transferring Ruirui to the military primary school, Hua Jing didn't want to do so.

Her child grew up in the countryside and cannot compare to those pampered children in military compounds. If Ruirui went to school there, he would definitely feel disappointed when he transferred back later.

She went there to help take care of the children, so how could she take care of a burden herself? Ting'er said that his wife was on vacation, so she could come back and just take time out every week to come back and see the children.

"So my husband and I will have to live apart."
