The little guy stood up immediately when he heard the familiar voice and threw himself into Su Mianmian's arms, "Sister, Brother An An and I are counting who has picked up the most wheat ears."
"So who won between you two?"
"Sister Mianmian, we were counting when you came."
"You two are amazing. To reward you for helping us pick wheat ears these days, I'm going to make you something delicious today."
When the two little guys heard about the delicious food, they immediately forgot about counting the wheat ears.
After the discussion, Su Mianmian looked at the time and it was almost time to go home. They took the two little ones home.
As night fell, Su Mianmian took out two large pieces of fat and lean pork belly from the space with ease.
She began to prepare the marinade skillfully. The spices seemed to come alive in her hands, emitting a mouth-watering aroma.
At the same time, she did not forget to pick a few fresh eggs from Yunshu's house, boil them and put them together with the meat.
As the soup in the pot began to boil, Su Mianmian instructed Su Qingqing to bake a few pancakes.
When the pork belly was braised to perfection, Su Mianmian began to busy herself with making roujiamo.
She first chopped the braised pork belly into pieces, then asked Yun Shu for a few chilies, cut them into small pieces, and put them into the freshly baked pancake.
Each roujiamo is filled with the rich aroma of meat and the deliciousness of the marinade, which increases your appetite at the mere smell.
In the end, she made seven or eight large-sized roujiamo, and the braised eggs had already absorbed the essence of the gravy, with an attractive color that made people want to taste it.
Su Mianmian placed them one by one on the dining table, and the whole room was filled with mouth-watering aroma.
The two little guys couldn't wait to sit around the dining table, their little eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Su Mianmian smiled and handed them the roujiamo and braised eggs, and the two little guys started eating.
Their little mouths were greasy from the gravy and marinade, and they looked so adorable.
Because the pancakes were so big, the two little guys were full after eating half of it each. They touched their stomachs contentedly and slumped in their chairs without moving.
Su Mianmian, Su Qingqing and Yun Shu each ate a roujiamo and an egg, and the remaining roujiamo and braised eggs were left to Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan.
The two boys were still washing the dishes, while Su Mianmian and the others went for a walk.

In the tranquility of the countryside, there are always some aunts and sisters who are keen on gossip. Early in the morning, when Su Mianmian and others just stepped into the threshing ground, they heard the noisy commotion in the threshing ground.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they were gathered in a circle, whispering to each other about what happened yesterday between Wei Guoming and Wang Yindi.
"Oh, you don't know, Wang Zhiqing and Wei Zhiqing were really brave yesterday," an old lady said mysteriously. "I heard they hid in a haystack yesterday. Just imagine how embarrassing it was in broad daylight."
"That's right. When I passed by yesterday, I saw Wang Yindi's white flesh. It was so embarrassing." Another aunt took over the conversation with a bit of disdain on her face. "Even an old woman like me feels embarrassed when I see it."
"Is this true? I didn't go to see it yesterday, what a pity." Someone sighed regretfully.
"How could it be false? They both admitted it, saying they were dating and couldn't help themselves." The aunt raised her eyebrows proudly, as if she had mastered some great secret.
At this moment, a puzzled voice interrupted: "But, I remember Wei Zhiqing was interested in that Jiang Zhiqing. Why is he dating Wang Zhiqing now?"
"Wow! Maybe that educated young man Wei is just a playboy and doesn't like Jiang anymore." Someone waved their hands dismissively. "Who knows? City people have lots of tricks anyway."
"Yes, yes, only city people know how to have fun." People around echoed.
"Come to think of it, it's already time, why aren't those two people here?" someone else raised the question.
"I know, I know." An aunt rushed to answer, "When I came here, I saw them both asking for leave from the team leader. They said they wanted to get a marriage certificate."
"Oh, no wonder." Everyone suddenly realized and nodded in understanding.
Su Mianmian couldn't help but sigh that the speed of information dissemination in the countryside was really amazing. In just one night, this matter could spread throughout the entire village.
However, when the aunts and sisters saw the captain coming, they immediately showed respectful expressions on their faces, shut their mouths and stopped talking.
So they all picked up their sickles and prepared to start harvesting the wheat.
After all, no matter how interesting gossip is, it can’t fill you up. If you want to have a full meal, you still need real food.
Near noon, Wei Guoming and Wang Yindi returned with their marriage certificate.
With happy smiles on their faces, the two began to distribute wedding candies to the villagers and educated youth.
Su Mianmian also received a piece of fruit candy. Looking at the two people's smiling faces, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
If she hadn't known about the two of them beforehand, she would have really thought they liked each other.

In the following days, the villagers in the brigade became increasingly busy. As the end of June quietly approached, the summer heat became more and more severe.
The sun was scorching the earth, and the air was filled with a dull atmosphere, as if even the wind had frozen.
In such weather, Su Mianmian and her companions had to work hard to harvest wheat every day, and they lost a lot of weight.
This day, which had been hot and muggy with bright sunshine, was now gloomy and overcast, as if a heavy rain would pour down at any moment.
Su Mianmian looked at the gradually overcast weather and felt a little uneasy. She couldn't help but look up at the sky again, and suddenly a picture flashed through her mind.
She remembered that in the original novel, in the second month of the heroine's time as an educated youth, she encountered a rare torrential rainstorm, which caused a large amount of food to be damaged, and the people in the cowshed of Luwanwan Brigade were washed away and disappeared without a trace.
Su Mianmian felt a panic in her heart, as she knew very well the severity of the weather change.
In the novel, there was a heavy rainstorm in Luwanwan Brigade. Luwanwan Brigade and Sanyang Brigade are not far from each other. In addition, the weather is cloudy now, so there is a high possibility that there will be heavy rain in Sanyang Brigade as well.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
She couldn't directly tell the captain that there was going to be a heavy rainstorm. After all, the sky was clear a few days ago. Even if it was cloudy today, it wouldn't be enough to make people believe that there would be a heavy rainstorm.
The more Su Mianmian thought about it, the more anxious she became.
On the side, Su Qingqing was busy harvesting wheat. She raised her head and watched the sky gradually darken. The breeze blew from time to time, and she couldn't help feeling happy.
She put down the sickle in her hand, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said excitedly to Su Mianmian beside her:
"Mianmian, there's finally wind, it's much cooler!"
