Children in the countryside are all thin and small, and because they play outside all day, they get very dark-skinned. Even if they are hygienic, they don't look clean.

Bai Jiaojiao's disdain for them was very obvious, so Bai Manzhi was also afraid of Bai Jiaojiao.

Bai Manzhi swallowed hard as she looked at the white zucchini cakes.

The last time she ate wheat flour was on the second day of the second lunar month, when her mother made her a flower-shaped pancake.

"Sister-in-law, let's hurry back to the fields."

Shen Heng must be starving after working all morning.

Bai Shiqing and Deng Min originally wanted to rest a bit more, because judging from the current situation, Bai Shihai and Shen Heng could finish harvesting the thirty acres of land, and they could take a break without missing any work.

But seeing how enthusiastic Bai Jiaojiao was, they felt embarrassed to stay at home: "Let's go."

When the three of them arrived at the mountain with water and food, they found that the two had already moved to another plot of land to harvest.

"Brother Heng!"

Bai Jiaojiao's steps were always hurried as she walked towards Shen Heng.

Shen Heng put down his tools and went to meet her with concern: "Be careful!"

For some reason, Shen Heng always felt that Bai Jiaojiao was like a child, and he was even worried that she would not walk properly.

"Heng-ge, come and eat!"

Shen Heng wet his handkerchief and wiped his hands. They found a shady spot under a tree and, without much fanfare, sat down together to eat.

The soft and tender zucchini cakes were a delicacy that Shen Heng could only watch others eat with longing before.

Shen Heng ate heartily, his heart filled with both the bitterness of the past and the sweetness of the present.

Seeing that Shen Heng's expression was normal, Deng Min then distributed the cakes to Bai Shihai and Bai Shiqing.

Bai Shihai, looking rather foolish, retorted, "You're really going all out today!"
