"Just watch me do it first." Wang Fang said as she walked to a corn stalk.
Lin Shu immediately observed carefully.
Wang Fang grabbed the upper part of the corn stalk with one hand, bent over, and with the other hand, she chopped the lower part of the stalk with a machete. With one cut, two cuts, the corn stalk was broken into two.
This seemed quite simple. Lin Shu instantly became full of confidence and was eager to try it.
"Come, try it." Wang Fang put the cut corn stalks on the ground, straightened up and said to them.
Lin Shu and Xu Juan immediately walked to the corn stalks next to them and picked one each.
Lin Shu imitated Wang Fang's actions just now, grabbed the corn stalks with one hand, bent down, and held the machete with the other hand to chop the corn stalks.
For a moment, hey, what's wrong?
Two tries, still not right.
The third time, Lin Shu was stunned, staring blankly at the corn stalk that only injured the surface and shook a few times.
Wang Fang, who was standing nearby and watching, burst out laughing.
Lin Shu turned around and looked at Wang Fang embarrassedly: "I clearly used a lot of strength, why..."
"Yeah, I did it. It's so easy." Xu Juan cheered on the other side.
Now, Lin Shu felt even more embarrassed.
"You're doing it wrong here," Wang Fang walked forward and pointed to the place where the machete met the corn stalk. "You should chop it down diagonally." As she spoke, she grabbed the corn stalk next to her and demonstrated again.
Lin Shu looked at it and suddenly realized what was going on. He immediately grabbed the corn stalks and tried again.
This time it worked. Lin Shu's eyes lit up and he looked towards Wang Fang happily.
Wang Fang nodded with satisfaction and gave Lin Shu a thumbs-up: "That's it."
Lin Shu raised the corner of his mouth and looked up at the large cornfield in front of him.
She felt she could chop them all down in one go.
Thinking of this, Lin Shu immediately started to act.
One, two... five, the corn stalks were successfully cut, and Lin Shu's confidence increased greatly.
Hiss! Pain came from his neck and face. Lin Shu straightened up, frowning slightly. He didn't need to look to know that he was definitely scratched by the leaves.
"What's wrong?" asked Wang Fang next to her.
Lin Shu shook his head and said, "It's okay." There was no need to disturb others with such a minor injury.
Just as Lin Shu bent down to chop down a corn stalk, she heard a child calling her from behind.
"Sister Lin Shu, Sister Lin Shu."
Lin Shu stood up and turned around.
It was Little Tiger! He was running towards her with a hat in one hand.
"What's wrong with Xiaohu?" Lin Shu asked gently as she looked at Xiaohu, who ran towards her with a red face.
"Here you go." Xiao Huzi handed the hat in his hand to Lin Shu and said, "And there's one for Sister Xu Juan."
Lin Shu took the hat in surprise and asked, "Who asked you to deliver this?"
"It's my grandma." Xiao Huzi said with a smile.
Lin Shu looked at the hat in his hand in surprise. How did Aunt Liang know they didn't have hats? And even if she knew, she wouldn't have sent one specifically for them.
Before Lin Shu could ask carefully, Xiao Huzi ran away.
"Huh?" Wang Fang beside him asked curiously, "Why did Little Tiger bring you a hat?"
"Hat?" Xu Juan ran over happily. "I have one too. That's great. I accidentally got scratched a few times just now."
She smiled slyly and said, "Did Xiao Huzi just send it over? Could it be someone's order?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Shu's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and said, "It was Aunt Liang who asked me to send it."
"Oh, I'm talking about Aunt Liang. Who are you thinking of?" Xu Juan laughed, holding her hat, and suddenly disappeared.
Lin Shu froze in his place, feeling annoyed. What had she just said?
Seeing Wang Fang's increasingly curious look, Lin Shu couldn't help but feel guilty. He put on his hat to block her view and said, "Sister Wang, we should be able to finish it soon, right?"
Wang Fang then retracted her gaze and said with a smile, "You'll know in a moment."
Wait a minute? Lin Shu was confused.
She didn't ask any further questions, put on her hat and continued to chop corn.
One tree, two trees... Lin Shu slowly straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief. Her hands and arms ached, and her waist felt like it wasn't her own.
She looked up at the sun in the sky. Although the weather was still cool, she felt hot all over.
"How do you feel now?" Wang Fang shook her arms and asked with a smile.
Lin Shu rubbed his waist and smiled bitterly: "It's okay."
Wang Fang laughed and said, "You two should take a rest first."
Lin Shu and Xu Juan, who also had a bitter face, nodded.
They found a relatively flat piece of ground and sat down back to back, not caring about their dirty clothes.
"I'm too tired." Xu Juan wailed softly.
Lin Shu hummed and looked up at the sky. She had to add another item to her plan: if possible, find a lighter job.
Ah! At this moment a sharp voice suddenly rang out.
Then came the sounds of crying and panic.
“Ouch, it hurts so much… It’s bleeding, it’s bleeding…”
"What's wrong? What's wrong..."
"Send him to the doctor immediately."
“…”
Lin Shu sat up straight, looked in the direction of the sound, and then looked at Xu Juan.
It’s definitely Xiao Qiao’s voice!
The two of them ran over quickly.
I saw Xiao Qiao sitting on the ground crying miserably.
Lin Shu walked closer and saw that her pants were torn at her calves, and the tear was wet and stained with blood.
There was a bloody machete on the ground next to her. It seemed that she was not paying attention and injured her calf.
