Qiao Jiuru only worked for one afternoon and was almost catching up with one of the father and son.

However, as he hadn't done such work in his life, Qiao Jiuru was still tired.

Looking at the father and son’s hands wrapped in rags, Qiao Jiuru went back with peace of mind.

When passing by Uncle Jiu's house, Qiao Jiuru happened to see Uncle Jiu coming out of the house. He nodded at him from a distance as a greeting before walking back home.

Zhou Wanwan had already woken up from a nap and was about to go to the fields.

"Xiao Wan, sew some rags on the outside of these gloves. The ground is too hard right now and it's easy to hurt your hands. When you work later, use the hoe only when it hits the ground. Don't just swing the hoe and use force. This will waste your energy."

Qiao Jiuru gave his daughter-in-law the gloves he had just used, told her to get ready for the job, and taught her how to use the hoe and how to save effort in digging the ground.

Zhou Wanwan listened very carefully and even learned a little with her bare hands. She kept her mother-in-law's instructions in mind, and then immediately went to find some rags to sew the gloves.

"Here are some candies for you. Suck them when you feel tired."

She was worried that her daughter-in-law couldn't stand such tiring and hard work, so she stuffed a piece of White Rabbit candy into Zhou Wanwan's hand before she left.

Zhou Wanwan was so moved by the candies in her hand that she was speechless and just kept nodding at her mother-in-law.

Qiao Jiuru watched his daughter-in-law go to the delivery team, and then went into the house to take a nap with Dabao and Xiaobao.

Not long after the bell rang for work, Dabao and Xiaobao woke up. The two little mouths yawned contentedly, one after the other, and then slowly opened their ignorant big eyes.

Qiao Jiuru felt so soft in his heart when he saw the two little grandsons he loved so much.

"grandmother."

"Milk."

When Dabao and Xiaobao opened their eyes, they saw their grandmother. They immediately stood up from the bed and hugged her with their two little arms.

"I'll take you to pee, and then drink sweet and fragrant milk, okay?!"

Besides her, there were two other insignificant children in the family, so naturally Qiao Jiuru dared to take anything out.

When Dabao and Xiaobao heard that there was delicious milk to drink, their eyes suddenly lit up and they nodded their little heads with joy. They are obedient and the milk gives them delicious food.

After a while, Dabao and Xiaobao not only had delicious milk to drink, but also had a meat bun to eat each.

"Dabao and Xiaobao, do you want to go with grandma to collect firewood?"

Qiao Jiuru touched the two children's warm hands and saw that they were all dressed warmly, so he prepared to take them outside to work.

She didn't plan to let the two children stay in the house all day. She wanted them to move around when they needed to and take them to see places they needed to go.

She would definitely have to go to work tomorrow, and she couldn't leave the two children at home then. No one would be at ease, so she would have to take them to the fields.

Fortunately, Dabao and Xiaobao did not have a fever all night and today. They are not only in good spirits, but also in good condition.

"Go, grandma, I have to go."

"Grandma, let's go together."

When Dabao and Xiaobao heard that they had to go out to collect firewood, they didn't know what it meant. 녦When he heard that he could go out to play, he nodded eagerly.

They want to go outside and play instead of staying inside.

Before taking them out, Qiao Jiuru put a hat on their little heads. These hats were the ones she had stored in the space earlier.

After the grandparents and grandchildren had packed up, they set out. Qiao Jiuru held one of them in each hand and took Dabao and Xiaobao to the mountain to collect firewood.

Dabao and Xiaobao had never been to the countryside since they were young. It was the first time for them to see the mountains and such a vast land. They looked around with curiosity and their eyes were almost unable to take it all in.

"Dabao, Xiaobao, this is the mountain. There are many trees and animals in the mountain, such as tigers, wild boars, wolves, deer, sheep, and bears. It is very dangerous. You are young and cannot go in. You must stay with your grandparents, parents, and grandpa, understand?!"

Qiao Jiuru pointed at the endless mountains and forests while talking to Dabao and Xiaobao.

"Tiger, milk, Bao knows."

"Wolf, very scary, second person."

"Yes, it will be a problem."

"The mountain, you can't go in."

"Danger."

"Xiaobao, be obedient."

"I'll be obedient, too, grandma."

"Be good, Dabao and Xiaobao, follow me and don't wander around."

"Follow the milk."

"Don't wander around."

…

Dabao and Xiaobao were listening to their grandmother's words in baby voices while looking at the forest in awe. They were very obedient.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Qiao Jiuru first found an open area and asked Dabao and Xiaobao to stand there. She then climbed up the hillside more than ten meters away, facing the two children, and began to break off the dead branches on the tree.

After working for more than half an hour and finishing half a bundle, Qiao Jiuru came.

"Milk."

When Dabao and Xiaobao saw their grandmother coming, they quickly trotted forward to greet her.

"Do you need to pee?"

Qiao Jiuru asked while panting. She was trying to do two things at once and only found this little firewood.

The two little guys nodded. They didn't want to pee just now, but now they wanted to pee since their grandma asked them.

Qiao Jiuru dusted himself off and wiped his hands on his pants before helping the two little guys pee.

“Cough cough cough…”

The two little guys had just finished peeing when they heard a violent coughing sound not far away. Qiao Jiuru and the two children looked in the direction of the sound and saw from a distance a thin woman picking up firewood near the foot of the mountain. She coughed every time she picked up firewood and sounded very ill.

There was no cover at the foot of the mountain at this time, and after a while, the woman saw Qiao Jiuru and the others from afar.

Zhou Meihua had very good eyesight. Even though they were several hundred meters away, she still recognized the strangers, one adult and two children, from the village. They should have just arrived.

She thought about what her husband said at noon today that he met schoolmate Su Huaiyuan, and she started to guess.

However, she did not go forward, but just nodded to Qiao Jiuru and the others from a distance, and continued to bend down to pick up firewood.

Qiao Jiuru's eyesight was also very good. She also saw the other party nodding to herself. As smart as she was, she also thought of the other party's identity.

Like Zhou Meihua, she recognized the other person but felt it was not a good time to say hello.

"Grandma is going upstairs to collect firewood. Can you guys continue to wait for her here?!"

She discussed it with the two little ones, then took out two White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and stuffed one into each of their little mouths.

Dabao and Xiaobao held the candies in their mouths contentedly and nodded happily at grandma. They were obedient.

Before Qiao Jiuru went up the hillside, he found two pieces of wood for the two little ones and let them sit on the wood to wait before he climbed up the hillside.

She came once every half an hour, and again half an hour later.

In the field, Zhou Wanwan wore worn gloves and held a hoe, working while experimenting, and gradually began to master some skills.

Next to him, Su Ze and Su Huaiyuan also wrapped two pieces of worn cloth around the handle of their hoe to reduce the vibration on their hands. Although they had applied ointment, they still found it a bit difficult to do the work.

Cai Qingwen, who was not far away, kept a close eye on Su Huaiyuan's family from time to time. While working, he wondered whether he should secretly go over to meet them at night.

Su Huaiyuan's son and daughter-in-law are here, so his wife should be here too, right? ! What about his grandchildren? !
