I threw away the things that could be thrown away, packed the rest, and arranged for the express delivery to be delivered early tomorrow morning.

The next day, Xia Qin delivered the things back to her hometown. She carried a box and took a bus back, and she even managed to have lunch at her home in the county town.

Mother Xia said worriedly, "You came back in a hurry, and we haven't had time to clean up the old house in the countryside. Your father and I will go back with you today and stay with you for a few days. By the way, your father was an elementary school classmate of the farm owner's father, so they have some connection. Let your father talk to them and ask them to look after you."

Xia Qin frowned awkwardly, "Mom, I'm going to work, there's no need to care about me, don't mess around with you and my dad."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Mother Xia nodded with a smile, "Then your father and I will go and clean up your old house for you, otherwise you won't be comfortable living there anymore."

In the afternoon, Xia's father drove the car, put the luggage in the trunk, and the family went to Taoshui Village.

Father Xia originally planned to go back to the old house to put down his things before letting his daughter report to the farm. Unexpectedly, he ran into someone on the road in the village and stopped.

Father Xia rolled down the window and shouted, "Fuqiang, Fuqiang."

Xu Fuqiang was carrying a hoe, and he looked back and saw that it was an acquaintance. He walked a few steps closer to the car window and asked in a familiar manner: "Ernai, why are you back? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to bring my daughter. She said she wants to work on your farm." Father Xia turned around and called Xia Qin, "Quick, call someone. This is your Uncle Xu."

Xia Qin, sitting in the back seat of the car, tapped her toes on the ground. This was a completely different feeling from what she had imagined. It was like she had suddenly come to a society full of favors from a cold workplace environment.

"Uncle Xu."

Xu Fuqiang remembered that his daughter had said that the family had hired a dairy farmer. He didn't expect that she was the daughter of an acquaintance. He scratched his head and said "Hey" innocently.

He quickly turned around and asked Xu Qingzhi next to him to call someone, "This is your Uncle Xia."

Xu Qingzhi called out, "Uncle Xia."

Father Xia responded with a smile.

"Qingzhi from your family is very promising. The farm he built is now well-known all over the country." Mother Xia gave a thumbs up from the front passenger seat, and then said, "Our Xiaqin is sometimes impatient. If she does something wrong, please bear with her. Please take care of her in the future."

Xu Fuqiang smiled and said, "Okay, no problem."

Mother Xia said, "The old house hasn't been cleaned up yet. Let's go clean up the house first and let the children come to the farm to report later."

"Okay." Xu Fuqiang waved his hand.

The car continued to move forward and went a little further away.

Xia Qin frowned and said in a reproachful tone, "Mom, didn't I tell you not to say that?"

She went there to work on the farm, not to be a princess. How would others think of her if they heard it?

Mother Xia said disapprovingly: "What's the big deal? We are all acquaintances."

Xia Qin felt indescribably upset, just like before when she told her parents something and asked them not to tell anyone, and her mother agreed, but she ended up telling everything to others while chatting.

At this moment, Xu Fuqiang was carrying a hoe, looking at the car going away, and turned back to Qingzhi: "He was my father's elementary school classmate. He made a lot of money driving a taxi in the state capital in the early years. At that time, my father also wanted to go to the state capital to drive a taxi."

The father and daughter continued walking towards home.

Xu Qingzhi asked: "Dad, why didn't you go?"

Xu Fuqiang said: "At that time, I couldn't feel at ease at home. Fortunately, our family is living a good life now."

After returning home, Xu Qingzhi sat under the persimmon tree and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

Grandpa Huo and Dong Ming, who usually meditated with her, went fishing with grandpa. This time, the three of them and another old man went to the reservoir in the next village, saying that there were more fish there.

Xu Fuqiang was too busy to rest. "Qingzhi, I'm going to the back hills to check on the fruit trees, and by the way, I'll go see your mom and the others and bring back the winter melons."

"Yeah." Xu Qingzhi waved to let him go. She wanted to lie down for a while.

The nearby spiritual energy array has been strengthened recently, and she feels a little weak.

There is a little sunshine today, winter sunshine, and the weather is comfortable, suitable for lying down.

In the back mountain, Wang Yanmei and Aunt Zhou were moving winter melons.

These days, we have to harvest 10,000 kilograms of winter melon every day. This job is definitely tiring, but making money is always tiring, and my body can handle it.

The winter melon must be moved and placed gently, and must not be dropped, rolled or bumped into. Several people carefully move it to a special trailer, then tie it up with belts, put it on the four wheels, and drag it directly home.

Wang Yanmei was busy at the moment when she heard someone calling her.

"Yanmei, are you busy?"

Wang Yanmei looked back and saw the women she had played cards with before, as well as a few of her old card friends.

A few people seemed to be strolling leisurely.

Wang Yanmei responded: "Yes, I'm busy."

A fellow poker player joked, "Why don't we come and help? Pay us half a day's wages."

Another poker player teased, "Forget it, you can't do this job. Don't ruin Yanmei's good winter melon. I saw people online saying that this winter melon is 20 yuan a pound, and it's delicious."

Someone asked: "Yanmei, can you sell me five catties?"
