These are not just two simple chicks. They determine whether she and Fu Wenjing can achieve egg freedom in the future, so they must be carefully cared for.

There is no chicken coop, but the chickens cannot be left running around.

It doesn't matter if you pull them randomly, but they are too small and it would be bad if you accidentally step on them to death.

Su Runrun looked at the firewood branches piled at the foot of the wall, and simply stuck the branches one by one into the ground densely. In this way, only a small area would be needed to enclose, which would be enough for the two little chicks to move around.

After building the temporary chicken coop, Su Runrun found two broken tiles at the base of the yard wall.

The tiles are all broken, either missing this corner or that corner.

But the grooves in the middle are still there, one for holding water and the other for chopped corn grits, just right.

After settling the two chicks, Su Runrun went to the foot of the wall to get a small shovel and started weeding in the shade of the yard.

The original owner was used to doing all kinds of farm work, and these skills had long since formed muscle memory.

The moment she picked up the small shovel, Su Ruanruan didn't know how to dig the grass with the least effort, and how to dig out the roots of the grass as well.

Although it was very hot in the summer afternoon, Su Runrun was not at all reluctant when doing her work.

In a short while, Su Runrun had removed all the grass in the shade.

Looking at the place scorched by the sun, Su Runrun squatted down without hesitation.

Although it is uncomfortable to be exposed to the scorching sun, it is even more uncomfortable to have no food to eat.

In order to achieve the freedom to eat vegetables earlier, it is worth being exposed to the sun.

The only thing that made Su Runrun feel fortunate was that the original owner had naturally fair skin. Even though she worked in the fields every day and had never used any sunscreen, her skin was still fair.

You won’t get tanned, and you can save a lot of sunscreen!

Thinking of this, Su Ruanruan became even happier.

When people are happy, they work very efficiently.

Before she knew it, Su Ruanruan had already weeded half of the yard.

Just as Su Ruanruan was about to continue, there was a knock on the door and Fu Wenjing's voice came in.

"Wife, I'm back!"

Hearing Fu Wenjing's voice, Su Runrun immediately trotted to the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as I opened the gate, I saw Fu Wenjing standing outside, pushing a cart. On the cart were not only long bamboos, but also a high pile of firewood.

Seeing this scene, Su Ruanruan was a little shocked, "How did you get so much bamboo and firewood back?"

Fu Wenjing's face was a little red, and there was sweat on his forehead and nose.

He wiped his face casually, and then answered Su Ruanruan's question, "Bring back more, so you don't have to be at a loss when you need it. I'm going to the army tomorrow, so I should be very busy."

At this point, Fu Wenjing's face showed guilt.

He brought Su Ruanruan with him, but he couldn't be with her often.

Just by looking at Fu Wenjing's expression, Su Ruanruan guessed what he was thinking, "You don't have to feel guilty. As a military wife, I have this awareness. Although you can't be with me all the time, it is because of your existence that we can live such a stable life. I not only understand you, but also support you!"

"Thank you, wife!"

Fu Wenjing looked at Su Ruanruan deeply, his eyes full of emotion.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Su Ruanruan came to her senses and hurried out to help Fu Wenjing push the cart into the yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, Fu Wenjing saw the fruits of Su Ruanruan's labor. "Wife, why have you already weeded so much? Why don't you wait for me to come back and do it together?"

Su Ruanruan winked at Fu Wenjing mischievously, "I've been waiting! Aren't I waiting for you to come back and turn the soil?"

"Okay!" Fu Wenjing agreed loudly, "Leave it all to me! I'll unload the things from the car first, and then we'll start."

There was already some firewood piled up in the yard, but there wasn't much left.

If you cook three meals a day, that would be enough for two days.

Now Fu Wenjing has brought back so much, enough to last for ten days or half a month.

Fu Wenjing didn't let Su Runruan help unload the car, but Su Runruan was not idle either and continued to weed.

"This area is rich in coal. I didn't need it before, so I didn't apply for a coal license. I will apply for one tomorrow and buy a coal stove.

When you don’t want to light a fire, using a coal stove is also very convenient and the fire is just as strong. That thing is very useful. I will teach you how to use it when you buy it.”

When Su Ruanruan was a child in an orphanage, she used a coal stove, but she still readily agreed, "Okay!"

"It's not good to just pile these firewood in the yard. What if it rains and they all get wet? I'll build a shed for them later. I just happened to have brought back some long tree trunks. I'll go get some wheat straw from Sister Niu and weave a straw mat to put on top."

"OK!"

Every time Fu Wenjing spoke a long string of words, Su Runrun would reply with a cheerful "OK".

This was definitely not Su Ruanruan just trying to please him.

On the contrary, Su Ruanruan, who has been an orphan since childhood and has never felt what it is like to have a family, likes the current feeling very much.

There was someone living with her.

No need to be grand or lingering.

They plan together, work together, have the same goal, hope that life will get better and better, and want to be with each other forever.

This is probably ordinary romance.

Su Ruanruan and Fu Wenjing were busy the whole afternoon.

I keep sweating, and after the sweat dries, I sweat again.

But the harvest is also gratifying.

Not only was the open space in the yard free of weeds, but it had also been deeply plowed and divided into ridges.

There is also a simple shed on top of the firewood pile.

This shed is drafty on all sides.

But for these firewoods, it is more than enough.

With the shed as shelter, the firewood will not get wet even if it rains.

All the bamboos that were brought back were placed against the wall of the upper house. Two of them had been chopped by Fu Wenjing into bamboo strips as wide as leek leaves.

This is to be used to make bamboo strips.

But making bamboo strips cannot be completed in a short time, you have to take it slowly.

Fortunately, it is summer now, so it won’t be cold even at night.

As long as it doesn't rain, the two little chicks can stay in the simple chicken coop made by Su Ruanruan.

The area three or four meters in front of the upper door was not used to grow vegetables, but just to clear the weeds.

Su Runrun planned to bring back small stones every time she went into the mountains, and when she had enough, she would use them to pave the ground.

This way, the ground won't be too muddy whether it's raining or snowing.

Su Ruanruan has not told Fu Wenjing about this plan yet.

She was afraid that if she said that, Fu Wenjing would just pull his cart into the mountains and not come back until he had picked up a cart full of stones.

It’s not that Su Ruanruan likes to think too much, but Fu Wenjing would really do this.
