“I know her. I grew up with her since I was a child. I know her best. Don’t worry, as long as she doesn’t come looking for trouble, I won’t bother with her.”

Seeing that He Chaoyang was almost finished with his work, Chen Shuning hurriedly went to the kitchen to fetch water for He Chaoyang to wash his hands.

Although it was just a simple breakfast, it received high praise from He Chaoyang, which made Chen Shuning, who had cheated by using the space, feel somewhat guilty.

After finishing breakfast, He Chaoyang kindly helped Chen Shuning clean up the kitchen. Since Chen Shuning didn't have an axe and it wasn't convenient to take something out of her spatial storage, and besides, it wasn't easy to take an axe out of an outdoor store, He Chaoyang had to go out and borrow one himself.

However, before He Chaoyang left, Chen Shuning still pulled him aside and explained to him in detail that he would be eating lunch in the field and that he had prepared lunch for him.

Finally, he took out his spare key to the room and a kettle of mung bean water and handed it to He Chaoyang. "Brother He, this is the key to my room. I've kept the food warm in the pot for you. You can eat lunch when you come back. Also, this kettle contains mung bean water. Brother He, take it with you when you go up the mountain."

"Thank you." Smiling as he accepted the gift from Chen Shuning, He Chaoyang felt a sweet sensation welling up inside him, and even his perpetually icy face blushed slightly.

However, when He Chaoyang thought about how busy the autumn harvest was, and how he didn't even have time to come back for a meal, he felt very sorry for him.

Without thinking, he said, "How about I find a way to transfer you back to the city? It's too hard for a young girl like you to work so hard in the countryside."

Chen Shuning was really shocked when she heard this. She had worked hard to build the house. As long as she could get through the autumn harvest, she would be able to enjoy a long period of happiness. Now she was going to be transferred back to the city.

What a joke! Her tiny apartment, less than 30 square meters, is so small that even a fart from one room can be smelled from the other. And this is right under her family's noses. How can she enjoy good food, watch movies, read novels, or confidently make money to buy a house?

So when Chen Shuning heard He Chaoyang's words, her first reaction was not whether He Chaoyang had the ability to transfer her back to the city after she had just been sent to the countryside, but she was so frightened that she instinctively waved her hands repeatedly: "No need, no need, actually I'm doing quite well here, really, Brother He, look, I've built my house, and everyone is taking good care of me. The work in the fields is only busy for a few days during the spring planting and autumn harvest, otherwise it's all fine, so there's really no need to trouble Brother He."

Seeing Chen Shuning's strong reaction, He Chaoyang felt a little embarrassed. In fact, He Chaoyang regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth, not because he regretted agreeing to use his connections to help Chen Shuning return to the city.

Instead, he felt that his words were somewhat rash, after all, the two had only known each other for a short time, and the fact that he offered to help the girl chop firewood for a few days was already under the pretext of his classmate relationship with Chen Jianguo.

However, while transferring someone back to the city wasn't difficult for him, it would be an extremely difficult task for others. Otherwise, given how much his family spoiled the girl, they wouldn't have sent her to the countryside if they had any other means. This was evident from the contents of those several large sacks.

After being rejected by Chen Shuning, he stopped mentioning the matter of being transferred back to the city and explained, "Okay, I just think it's too hard for a girl like you to work in the fields. Do as much as you can, and don't push yourself if you get tired. I'll go talk to your team leader later and see if I can arrange some easier work for you."

"Really, there's no need, Brother He. I already feel bad enough that you stayed to help me gather firewood. I can handle everything else myself. Really, farm work isn't that tiring. I can manage."

This wasn't Chen Shuning boasting; Feng Baoguo had already explained the situation to them, the new educated youth, a few days prior.

Although there's more work during the autumn harvest, the work points are also higher these days. Normally, a strong laborer gets a full ten work points a day, but there's no limit to the work points during the autumn harvest; you get as many work points as you can do.

So even though it's tiring, the villagers will put in all their effort to earn more work points.

In addition, elderly people and children who don't usually work in the fields also go out to help, earning five or six work points a day.

In other words, although there was more work, there were also more people doing the work, and others were doing more work. Relatively speaking, this was a good thing for the educated youth who couldn't do the work.

At least the villagers, wanting to earn more money, wouldn't keep a close eye on whether these educated youth were slacking off. After all, it was based on labor, so if you didn't work, that was fine too; there were plenty of others who wanted to earn that money.

He Chaoyang genuinely wanted to help the little girl with the work, but he also knew that the villagers relied on these few days of the autumn harvest to earn more money every year. If an outsider like him really went to help the little girl with the harvest, it would be like robbing the villagers of their money, which would cause resentment and wouldn't be good for the little girl either.

Therefore, whether out of his military status or the interests of the villagers, he could not help Chen Shuning with the autumn harvest. All he could do now was help the little girl gather more firewood. He had heard that the little girl was particularly afraid of the cold, so he should try to chop as much firewood as possible.

Having figured all this out, He Chaoyang stopped worrying about it, nodded to Chen Shuning, and then picked up the water bottle and walked out.

Just as Chen Shuning saw He Chaoyang off, the educated youth living in the backyard also gradually finished packing up and prepared to go to work.

Chen Shuning quickly prepared himself, then slung a small basket containing his lunch and water bottle over his shoulder and went out.
