Seeing the two little ones like this, Grandma Su liked them even more. She found a shady spot, sat down, and then took both children into her arms.

Seeing this, Su He advised, "Grandma, take a rest. You can hold Yuya. Yuanyuan is too heavy!"

"It's okay, breastfeeding isn't tiring, why would holding two babies be tiring?"

Su He sighed helplessly, "Then you should finish your drink before you hug me, okay?"

Grandma Su waved her hand, "No need, your grandfather brought water. We just finished resting and aren't thirsty."

Su He stopped trying to persuade her after hearing this.

However, after hearing what she said and seeing how enthusiastically Old Man Su and the others were working, she didn't let them stop.

Then he looked at Lin Jingyan who was walking over.

Seeing this, I felt even more sorry for him. Lin Jingyan's entire face was sunburned and red, and the exposed skin was cut in stripes by the corn leaves.

"What happened? Didn't I bring you a silk scarf? How did it turn out like this?"

Lin Jingyan explained with a smile, "It's too hot, and it's inconvenient to wear a silk scarf."

It's also quite strange for a man to be wearing a silk scarf while working.

Su He guessed what he was thinking, sighed, and said, "What's the big deal? It's better than suffering, right?"

But I know it's pointless to say anything now.

Looking again at the scratches on his face and neck, I couldn't help but ask, "Does it hurt?"

Lin Jingyan shook his head, "It's okay, it just hurts more when I sweat."

How could it not hurt? Su He felt pain just looking at him and wanted to tell him to stop, but she figured he wouldn't agree, so she could only sigh and give him the brown sugar water.

Lin Jingyan took the drink with a smile and drank it down. He didn't stay long before quickly going back to work.

Grandma Su adored her two great-grandchildren for a while, and even showed them off to other families.

Seeing that Su He still looked a little worried, he said, "Xiao Lin is very strong-willed. He didn't even know how to hold a sickle at first, but he learned in no time. He doesn't complain about being tired while working. But I guess he'll be sore all night because it's his first time doing such heavy work."

Su He sighed, "It hurts, but it's only for one day anyway."

After chatting with Grandma Su for a while, Su He went home to cook.

There was no shortage of vegetables at home, so I took a basin to the vegetable garden and picked a small basket of vegetables in no time.

With a large family, tiring work, and lots of food, Su He did a lot of work.

First, I stewed some green beans with the meat I brought back yesterday, then stir-fried some eggs and chives. That makes two meat dishes. I also smashed some cucumber and stir-fried some cabbage. It's pretty good, and the portions are huge, almost served in a basin.

Finally, I cooked a big pot of corn rice.

They can have a ready-made meal when they get back.

Sure enough, the Su family was very satisfied with the meal when they returned, leaving no food or rice behind.

...

After a tiring morning, everyone quickly went back to their rooms to rest and take a nap after lunch.

Seeing that Lin Jingyan was so tired he couldn't muster any energy, Su He quickly told him to go inside and lie down for a while.

He stayed behind to clean up the dishes.

In the afternoon, as soon as the gong sounded, work resumed.

Su He was a little worried that Lin Jingyan wouldn't be able to keep up with this high-intensity work.

However, seeing that he still didn't want to give up, she didn't say anything.

Perhaps because it was too hot, my aunt left my cousin at home in the afternoon. The little girl is not very old, can say a few words, and is quite sensible.

Su He put her on the kang (a heated brick bed) to play with Yuan Yuan and the others. Since there were many children, they didn't go to the fields anymore.

As it turned out, her worries came true.

Around 3 p.m., the eldest cousin and Su Lin helped Lin Jingyan, who was swaying slightly, back home.

Su He was startled when she saw this.

"What happened?"
