Jiang Wanwan's eyes lit up. Lu Xiao is here? She looked up and saw it was Du Jiaming.
"You go and rest for a while, I'll help you," Du Jiaming said as he squatted beside Jiang Wanwan.
The man's breath came over, carrying the smell of sweat after work, and Jiang Wanwan felt nauseous.
It’s strange to say, Lu Xiao does heavy work and is sweaty when he comes home from work, but he doesn’t have this unpleasant smell.
"No, I can do it myself."
Jiang Wanwan picked up the four-toothed rake again and kept some distance between them.
"Xiao Wan, how long are you going to keep quarreling with me? You weren't like this before. What on earth are you quarreling about?"
Du Jiaming was sure that Jiang Wanwan regretted it. He clearly saw the joy in her eyes when she saw him coming to help her.
He's already got this attitude, isn't that enough? The matter had nothing to do with him in the first place, and he's the only one who can tolerate her temper.
Before Jiang Wanwan could say anything, someone exclaimed, "Wen Nuan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Qiao Wenwan held her forehead, her face pale, and said weakly, "I'm fine. It might be the sun. I feel a little dizzy."
"What do you mean nothing? I think you have heatstroke. Go and have a rest." Li Meiling said.
"No, I haven't finished my work yet. If I go to rest, you will have to work harder. I can't do this," she said, but her eyes glanced at Du Jiaming and Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan was happy.
In the past two years since she went to the countryside, Qiao Wenwan has used tricks like this many times, and every time the original owner paid the money and tickets to help her settle the matter.
It is impossible to ask her to pay for the ticket right now. Looking at her eyes, she seems to be waiting for a hero to save her.
"I don't need you here, but someone seems to need you more. Why don't you go quickly?" Jiang Wanwan raised her chin with a frivolous tone.
Lock up this scumbag and bitch and don't let anyone harm others.
Du Jiaming frowned slightly, not used to her tone. He didn't even look at Qiao Wennuan. "Xiao Wan, aren't you and Wennuan good friends? You know, I care about her because of you. I didn't go to you in time that day because Wennuan fainted. I thought you cared about her so much, and you must be worried when you saw her faint. I didn't want to make you worry, so I stayed with her. It's the same when we work. If I didn't know you would help her, why would I help her? I just feel sorry for you and want you to do less."
Jiang Wanwan watched as Qiao Wenwan's face turned even paler, and she looked shaky and ready to faint at any moment. She threw the four-toothed rake to the ground and said, "Alright, since you want to help me, I won't hesitate. I have to go back early to cook."
Why do you talk so much? It's disgusting.
Who wants to work under the scorching sun? I can go home and make something delicious for Lu Xiao.
Du Jiaming's eyes lit up. Jiang Wanwan wanted to cook, and she must want to make something delicious to apologize to him.
She used to be like this. Whenever she made him angry, she would always make something delicious for him.
Thinking of Jiang Wanwan's cooking skills and the meat he hadn't eaten in a while, Du Jiaming responded cheerfully, "Hey! Then you can go back quickly. I'll take care of this little work for you."
The four-toothed rake flew up and down as he swung it.
Qiao Wenwan bit her lip tightly and looked at Jiang Wanwan with red eyes, as if she, Jiang Wanwan, was the one who betrayed her.
Li Meiling, who was standing by, also glared at Jiang Wanwan and advised, "Wen Nuan, you should go and rest for a while."
With a weak smile, Qiao Wennuan said, "No need, I can do it."
Liu De couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he dropped his work and ran over, "Wen Nuan, go and have a rest, I'll help you."
Cao Jiangtao lowered his head and did the work in his hands, and ignored them. Anyway, this work had to be finished today. They could do whatever they wanted, but they couldn't go back until the work was finished.
Jiang Wanwan didn't even care how to do the work. She clapped her hands and hummed a little tune as she walked home.
Lu Xiao's home is at the foot of the mountain, the closest one to the village. If he wants to go home, he has to take the main road through the village.
Jiang Wanwan didn't want to go back through the village. It would be too conspicuous if she met people there now. So she walked up the mountain along the path and picked up the dry branches that had fallen on the ground.
The winter in the north is cold, and coal briquettes are a luxury. Most families rely on burning kangs to survive the winter, which requires a lot of firewood.
Before winter, the brigade would distribute some crop straw to the team members as firewood, but compared to the firewood needed for the winter, it was simply a drop in the bucket. They had to rely on individuals to go to the mountains to collect firewood, and the dry branches on the mountains were much easier to burn than crop straw.
Don't ask her how she knew that.
Yesterday she burned wheat straw, which caused thick smoke. Later, Lu Xiao asked her to use wheat straw as kindling, and then burn dry branches. It was really easy to burn and the fire was very strong.
Just as they were about to reach home, Jiang Wanwan suddenly heard a scream, followed by a painful groan, which sounded like a woman.
Although it was broad daylight, the villagers had all gone to work in the mountains.
Jiang Wanwan didn't act impulsively to be a good person. She quickened her pace and tried to get down the mountain as quickly as possible. But as soon as she turned a corner, she saw a girl in her twenties...?
To be honest, if she hadn't heard her exclamation just now, which was obviously a woman's voice, Jiang Wanwan would hardly be able to tell whether the other person was a man or a woman.
A thin and weak man, wearing dark clothes that were obviously two sizes too big.
His hair was uneven and messy, covering his head with small branches and leaves on it, and his skin was pitch black.
At this time, she was sitting on the ground, covering her ankle with her hands, her face full of pain, and a bundle of firewood was placed next to her.
It seemed that she didn't expect that there were other people in the mountains. When she saw Jiang Wanwan, the girl quickly looked away.
