Wenxi went to pick watermelons last. The watermelons here are growing very well, round and plump, like footballs. The big ones weigh about ten pounds, and the small ones weigh at least six to eight pounds.
Wenxi came often and knew exactly how many days each watermelon had been growing, so she picked all the watermelons that had been growing for more than thirty days.
The watermelons here get plenty of sunshine, and she often comes over to water and fertilize them. The watermelons that are over thirty days old are already very ripe.
After picking watermelons, we went to the wild fruit trees and picked the ripe fruit from the trees. Then we went home with our full harvest.
The wheat has just been harvested. Next, we need to clear the wheat fields, plant late-season corn and peanuts, and also reserve some land for late-season rice.
The sweet potatoes in the field need to be turned over, the cotton needs to be weeded and pest-removed, and there are many other small things to do.
So during the period before the double harvest, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue still had to go to work. As for Wen Xi, she naturally had to cut pig feed. However, now that there was pasture, she wouldn't even need to cut pig feed anymore. So she still had to submit good ideas to the team, otherwise she would definitely not be able to stay in the fields next year.
Tang Xiaoyun and Wang Caiyun were always surrounded by young men who fawned over them. Since Tian Xiaoke was Xia Minglei's fiancée, no one would want to embarrass themselves by going after her.
Girls would occasionally wander over to Gu Huai'an and Lu Mingxiu's side, but Gu Huai'an ignored them without any reaction. So, the group reluctantly spoke to Li Jianguo and Lu Mingxiu. Whether they were stupid or pretending not to understand, they actually started chatting with the girls.
Gu Huai'an had made it clear to them that anyone who brought a girl to his place would not be allowed to stay at his house, so he wasn't worried about them causing any trouble.
If anything happens, move him out.
The busiest and most important double harvest season hasn't arrived yet, so the pressure to work isn't that great at this time. Everyone can finish work at 11 a.m. and start work again at 2 p.m. But if they don't finish today's work, they have to work overtime in the evening, so everyone finishes work at different times.
Some people couldn't stand the heat and ran home early before 11 o'clock, while others stayed until 11 o'clock. Some people didn't want to come back in the afternoon, so they finished their tasks for the day before going home and then rested well at home in the afternoon.
After finishing work at noon, several male educated youths agreed to go swimming in the river bend together. The river bend was surrounded by woods on both sides, with tall trees that blocked out the sun, so the water on both sides of the river bend was not heated by the sun, but was instead cool and refreshing.
Everyone jumped into the shallow water like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, and then swam happily in it, while those who couldn't swim washed their hair, faces, and arms on the side to cool off.
It's too hot, and nobody wants to cook. We're just eating whatever's convenient, so it's okay to go back and cook a little later, since we don't start work until 2 pm anyway.
However, Tian Shengnan and the other two still cooked well. After all, their conditions were not bad, so they naturally wouldn't treat themselves badly. Moreover, Song Lan and Zhou Bai were decent people and wouldn't take advantage of Tian Shengnan. They wouldn't shirk their responsibilities either. The three of them were quite united, which is why they could eat together.
Today it was Li Wei and Wang Caiyun's turn to cook, while Tian Shengnan cooked in the small kitchen, so Tang Xiaoyun and Tian Xiaoke were the only two left in the girls' dormitory for the time being.
This group of educated youth had been in the countryside for some time, but before that, everyone was busy harvesting wheat, so she didn't have a chance to separate Tian Xiaoke and Xia Minglei. After a while, they would have to harvest rice and transplant seedlings, which would make them even busier. So now was the most suitable time.
Tang Xiaoyun took off the damp towel from her face, revealing her cheeks, which were soaked with moisture and glistening with saliva. She didn't care about the stray wet hairs sticking to her face, but instead went to Tian Xiaoke's side and whispered mysteriously, "Sister Xiaoke, do you know why my brother Minglei didn't see you for several months?"
Tian Xiaoke became interested and quickly sat up straight, asking curiously, "Why?"
This was also something she desperately wanted to know. If she hadn't come to the countryside to find Xia Minglei, he probably wouldn't have bothered to look for her.
Tang Xiaoyun glanced up at the door, then lowered her voice and said in a tone only the two of them could hear, "I heard something from those aunties. Apparently, during the time Minglei didn't come to see you, he was seduced by a slut, Lin Yiwan. The two of them are really close, and they go everywhere together. Many people in the village have seen them going up the mountain together. The reason Minglei didn't come to see you was because he wanted to break up with you and be with Lin Yiwan."
"What?" Tian Xiaoke stared at Tang Xiaoyun in shock. Xia Minglei wasn't going to see her because he had a lover in the countryside?
She and Xia Minglei often met secretly at the foot of the mountain. So, when Lin Yiwan and Xia Minglei went up the mountain, were they also looking for a place to meet secretly? So, have the two of them already met secretly?
If Xia Minglei hadn't gone to the countryside for love, he would probably be with Lin Yiwan and then leave her, right?
"That Lin Yiwan is so despicable! She's surrounded by several men, and she's still not satisfied. She even tried to seduce my brother Minglei! She just wants to use his city connections to become a city dweller. Sister Xiaoke, thank goodness you came to the countryside to find my brother Minglei. You prevented Lin Yiwan from succeeding. Otherwise, I would have to be neighbors with this kind of slut who steals other men's partners. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself and would have scratched her face to pieces..."
Of course, she wanted to scratch Lin Yiwan's face right now, since Lin Yiwan had stolen her Minglei brother and even gave birth to twins for him.
It also ruined her reputation, forcing her to marry one of her admirers. She loved Ming Lei and disliked the other admirer at all. Living with him felt like a funeral every moment.
Therefore, in this life, she must marry her beloved Minglei brother; she will absolutely not allow any woman to take Minglei brother away from her.
Tian Xiaoke clenched her fists secretly. Lin Yiwan had actually stolen her boyfriend, and almost left her single...
Seeing Tian Xiaoke's angry expression, Tang Xiaoyun was extremely satisfied. She even thought to herself, "Let her get even angrier, even angrier, and then she'll go and take revenge on Lin Yiwan directly. If the two of them fight each other, I won't have to dirty my hands."
Tang Xiaoyun thought for a moment, then added fuel to the fire, "This Lin Yiwan has never been a good person since she was a child. She seduced Lin Jing, who grew up with her, and then she tried to seduce our Minglei brother. How could such a promiscuous woman be worthy of our Minglei brother? Only a pure and innocent girl like Sister Xiaoke is worthy of my Minglei brother. Fortunately, Sister Xiaoke came, otherwise our Minglei brother would probably have been defiled by her."
