Two days ago, Liu Yiyi sat in front of the slightly worn desk, carefully spread out the letter paper, picked up the pen, and her thoughts surged like a tide.
She carefully considered every word, wanting to clearly convey her current situation and expectations to her grandfather who was far away in City B.
Outside the window, a breeze blew gently, bringing the fresh air from the fields, but this did not alleviate Liu Yiyi's worries.
She knew that if she continued to stay in the countryside, facing the heavy farm work that seemed to never end every day, she would sooner or later be exhausted.
So, she wrote in beautiful handwriting:
"Hello, dear Grandpa! Everything is fine here, but..."
Having written this, Liu Yiyi paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then continued:
“It’s just that life in the countryside is really hard. There is endless farm work to do every day, and my body can’t take it anymore.
So my granddaughter would like to ask you for help, use your connections, and see if you can help me find a job in the city.
I will work hard and not let you down."
After writing the letter, Liu Yiyi carefully sealed it, put a stamp on it, and then hurriedly asked Jiang Dahai to take her to the post office in town to mail the letter.
In the following days, she continued to work hard, while looking forward to her grandfather's reply.
After all, Grandpa felt guilty towards her, and he also had certain connections in City B.
As long as Grandpa is willing to make an effort, he might be able to find a suitable job for her soon and let her escape from this exhausting country life.
Whenever she thought of this, Liu Yiyi's heart was filled with hope.
She secretly told herself that she must persevere and wait for the opportunity to change her destiny.
At the same time, she always reminds herself to find a way out as soon as possible.
If Jiang Yang still rejects her like this, she can't get close to him and can only take other measures!
Jiang Family——
Jiang Yang finished his breakfast early and started to get busy in his own yard.
I saw him pick up the axe skillfully and chop the firewood hard again and again. Every time the axe fell, there was a crisp sound.
At this time, his eldest brother and second brother had already gone to work in the fields. They had to work hard for most of the morning and would not return home for lunch until noon.
He took advantage of this rare free time to do some housework.
He first cleaned the large water tank in the kitchen and moved it to the yard to dry.
Then, he focused on chopping the firewood that was piled up in the yard. In a short while, the originally messy firewood was neatly stacked into a tall pile.
Just as Jiang Yang was working hard, he suddenly heard a "click" sound, followed by a "creak". It turned out that someone pushed open the gate.
He looked up and found that the person coming was his mother.
After Song Yue entered the room, she quickly scanned the entire yard and soon saw Jiang Yang chopping wood with sweat pouring down his face.
"Mom~" Jiang Yang greeted warmly.
"Hey." Song Yue responded with a smile, then led the way in and signaled her eldest brother to push the cart and follow him into the yard.
"Uncle!" Jiang Yang put down the axe in his hand and walked forward quickly.
Song Jianshe patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder and said jokingly:
"Good boy, instead of taking a good rest on your day off, you have the energy to chop wood here."
"Hey, uncle, I'm not at home on weekdays, so most of the housework is done by my eldest and second brothers.
I happen to be free today, so I have to chop some more wood."
Jiang Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled innocently, and then quickly helped his uncle push the bicycle and unload the things.
Song Jianshe didn't act pretentiously and ordered his nephew around without any hesitation. Then, after looking around, he asked curiously:
"Oh, by the way, where are the eldest and second oldest? Why aren't they around?"
"Uncle, our village is busy with the autumn harvest right now. My eldest and second brothers went to the fields early this morning to work and earn work points. They will probably be back by noon."
Jiang Yang explained that the autumn harvest was a big deal. The more work they did, the more work points they would get, so that they could exchange more for food when the grain was distributed.
"Oh, I see. Okay then, I'll go look around the fields and see if I can help out in any way I can.
We also need to let everyone in Hanshan Village know that you three brothers are not so easy to bully. As long as I, Song Jianshe, am here, I will definitely support you!"
After saying that, Song Jianshe patted his chest, showing an attitude of supporting his sister's family.
"Okay, I'll accompany my uncle?"
"Third brother, you don't have to rush to accompany your uncle. We met your wife's second brother in town. He works in the sugar factory in town. We invited him to have lunch at our house. You can ride your bike and take your second uncle home."
Song Yue hurriedly explained to her son that it was getting late, almost ten o'clock.
It takes time to cook, stew meat and stir-fry vegetables. I can't let my good sister's second brother wait in town.
"Well, then I'll take my eldest uncle to the fields first, then go home and ride my bike to the sugar factory in town to wait for my second uncle to finish his work and take him home."
When Jiang Yang heard this, he realized that this made sense and decided to follow his mother's instructions.
"Okay, go ahead."
While Song Yue was giving the instructions, Su Miantang and her three sisters-in-law also returned home.
They put the things in the kitchen and started to get busy.
Lin Fangfang is mainly in charge of the kitchen. Song Yue has nothing to do with it, let alone Su Miantang.
They just need to be responsible for eating and dividing the purchased food so that they can pack it directly into bags when Hu Zi's mother and Chun Hua's mother come.
Qian Duoduo was the happiest because she bought a lot of meat today.
You will definitely enjoy eating meat today.
Hehehe~
At this time, Xu Xianhua was picking snake melons at Hu Zi's parents' home.
"Wow, your family has so many snake melons planted."
"Oh my god, I didn't plant much, just a few seeds, but I didn't expect it to grow so fast. In just two or three months, it's grown into such a large patch."
Hu Zi's mother brought out a large jar from the kitchen and wiped it with a piece of cloth.
After answering the old sister's question, she turned back to the kitchen and found a glass jar...
"Not too much, I'll eat it all by myself."
Xu Xianhua smiled and reminded them that she didn't like to take advantage of others, so she would go home and make a jar of sweet tomato sauce and let her nephew bring it back as a gift to the old sisters.
"I know. My chili is very spicy. Try it and see if it's spicy."
Hu Zi's mother wiped the spoon clean and gestured to the old sisters to taste it while scooping.
I couldn't refuse Xu Xianhua's kindness. I washed my little finger, dipped a little bit in it, put it in my mouth, and my eyes lit up. I gave a thumbs up...
