Xie Yan muttered to herself, but she didn't dare stop working for even a second!
Before I had worked at the banquet for very long, I felt my palms swelling and aching, as if they were about to split open. I tried to stand up to catch my breath, but then I found that I couldn't straighten my back.
Xie Yan hissed in pain and slowly straightened up by supporting himself with his hands. The soreness was so bad that Xie Yan wanted to cry!
As he rubbed his lower back, he wondered why no one had told him that working would be so tiring! His back and hands felt like they didn't even belong to him anymore!
The novel about his past life ruined him!
Xie Yan wanted to cry! Help! The thought of living like this from now on made Xie Yan want to cry. He regretted it and wanted to go home. This farm work was too tiring!
If he had known that going to the countryside would be this tiring, he would never have gone, okay?
He'd rather be someone's son-in-law than work like this every day! This could kill someone! He finally understood why so many female educated youths in his past life's novels married local people directly—farm work was just too hard!
Looking at his bright red palms, Xie Yan felt utterly hopeless! The sky seemed to darken, and the wheat that had seemed beautiful before now looked repulsive.
Looking at the endless wheat fields, Xie Yan felt that even if he didn't eat, drink, or sleep, he still couldn't finish harvesting them! There was simply no way he could finish!
He wanted to rest a little longer, but Liu Cuihua was already urging him, "Hey! Xie Yan, what are you doing? Why aren't you working properly? What are you standing there for?"
The unfortunate Xie Yan could only pick up a sickle and get back to work.
Not only his palms hurt, but the arm holding the sickle also started to ache. Xie Yan gritted his teeth as he cut the wheat, pinching his arm whenever he had a spare moment, hoping to alleviate the pain, but the effect was obviously minimal.
As the weather gradually became hotter, Xie Yan's sweat dripped onto the ground around him.
He vividly exemplified the saying: "Harvesting wheat at midday, sweat drips onto the soil. Who knows that every grain in the bowl is the result of hard work?"
It wasn't just hard work, it was practically his blood and sweat!
The sun was blazing hot, making Xie Yan feel like he was about to evaporate. Sweat soaked his clothes and hair, and dripped down his hair.
Even so, Xie Yan didn't dare to stop and wipe his sweat. One reason was that he was afraid of being scolded by Liu Cuihua, and another reason was that wiping would only waste time.
Xie Yan's body was like an inexhaustible source of water, with a constant stream of sweat falling and sprinkling onto the ground beneath his feet.
It evaporated in an instant, leaving not a trace!
This wasn't even the most devastating part of Xie Yan's situation!
The most devastating thing was that he was thirsty!
What's even more devastating is that he was the only one nearby without water. While he struggled to stay hydrated, the others took out their own water and drank it down mouthful after mouthful.
Who can understand how he felt at that moment! He almost grabbed someone's water bottle.
real!
This is a complete test of his patience!
When Grandma Liu also drank water, his patience reached its limit. He had already taken a few steps forward, ready to ask for some water, but Grandma Liu drank directly from the bottle. Xie Yan silently withdrew his outstretched foot.
Take a deep breath and tell yourself that he can still hold on.
Later on, Xie Yan was so thirsty that he no longer cared about what Grandma Liu had drunk from. Several times he almost snatched the old lady's water bottle and drank it for himself. Especially when he heard Grandma Liu drinking water, that was definitely when Xie Yan's willpower was strongest.
Indeed, his body was already uncontrollably turning in that direction.
He didn't mind at all that Grandma Liu had already drunk from the same bottle!
Thankfully, I managed to brake in time!
At that time, Xie Yan vowed that he would definitely bring a water bottle in the afternoon!
No! Not next time!
From now on, he will always carry a water bottle with him!
He told himself that he had to take water with him wherever he went, because water is the source of life and people cannot survive without it.
When lunchtime finally arrived, Xie Yan felt like he was about to shatter, truly shatter. His arms ached, his back was so sore he couldn't straighten up, and his hands were so painful he couldn't even hold them! His mouth was so dry he couldn't even speak!
Every part of his body was injured. He walked heavily toward the educated youth settlement. On the way, he ran into Gu Bin, who also looked utterly hopeless. The two looked at each other but didn't even have the energy to greet each other.
Xie Yan was certain that his mouth must have split open, and for a moment he tasted the flavor of rust!
Along the way, they encountered many people heading home, and Xie Yan suddenly heard someone mention Shen Jianguo.
Shen Jianguo's brain, which was already too tired to think, was instantly energized when he heard that someone was helping him with the work!
What? Someone is actually helping Shen Jianguo with his work?
Xie Yan's ears perked up instantly, listening intently to the specific details.
ah!
There are lots of girls helping him with the work!
This... could he also use seduction? Xie Yan thought he was quite handsome!
He couldn't possibly do farm work even for a day!
But the thought of that stunningly beautiful face he saw this morning extinguished any lingering feelings Xie Yan had. With such a gorgeous woman standing right next to him, what was he anyway?
Even young girls are attracted to looks, okay?
Why look at a mere cabbage when there are stunning beauties around? It's not like I'm blind!
Even with all that comparison, he wouldn't choose himself!
Although he considered himself to be fairly good-looking, he couldn't compare to a beauty like Shen Jianguo!
Why!
Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?
Why do they have to block even this road?
