"You young people always think you are capable and fearless."
Zhou's mother lowered her voice, with a bit of helplessness and heartache, "Wuwu, it's good that you have this intention, but you have to do it within your means. You are not alone now, there is a little one in your belly. If something really happens, what do you want us to do?"
Shen Liwu lowered his head, his fingers twisting the corners of his clothes unconsciously, feeling a little guilty.
She bit her lip, raised her head and looked at Zhou's mother with a hint of pleading in her eyes, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I will pay attention next time and won't make everyone worry again."
Seeing her like this, Zhou's mother's anger subsided a lot. She walked over and patted her shoulder gently, "It's okay, don't blame yourself too much. Now that you're back safely, you should have a good rest. The meal is already heated up, so hurry up and eat."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Zhou Yanjing again. Her eyes were still stern, but her tone was much softer. "Yanjing, you too, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are good at fighting. Who can tell what will happen on the mountain? Think more about the consequences of your actions in the future."
Zhou Yanjing nodded, looking serious, "Mom, I understand. I will be more careful in the future."
Only then did Zhou's mother hum with satisfaction and turned back to the kitchen to continue her work. The living room became quiet.
Shen Liwu lowered his head and took a few bites of rice. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and looked up at Zhou Yanjing. "By the way, please put away the venom of the cobra just now. I'm going to do an experiment when I go back."
Zhou Yanjing put down his chopsticks and looked at her with a hint of smile in his eyes, "Don't worry, I have sealed the venom and put it in the interlayer of my backpack. It won't spill out."
He paused, his eyebrows slightly raised, "You, wherever you go, you are still thinking about the experiment."
Shen Liwu curled his lips, with a stubborn light flashing in his eyes, "It's a rare opportunity to get a fresh venom sample, I don't want to miss it. Besides, isn't the purpose of going up the mountain this time to collect materials?"
Zhou Yanjing chuckled and reached out to ruffle her hair, "You are really a workaholic." His movements were gentle and his tone was doting.
"But you have to promise me that you must be careful when doing experiments, especially during this special period."
"I know my limits, don't worry about it."
Zhou Yanjing withdrew his hand, picked up the bowl and continued to eat, but the smile on his face did not fade away. "Okay, I won't worry about it. But you have to remember, if anything happens to you, I will be the first to settle the score with you."
Shen Liwu glared at him and said unhappily, "You only know how to threaten me." Although she said this, her heart was warm, as if a breeze had blown through her heart, taking away all her uneasiness.
After lunch, Chen Liwu and Zhou Yanjing went to cut corn stalks.
There were already many villagers doing farm work on the road, carrying corn on their backs and heading home.
The afternoon sun sprinkled on the fields like a layer of gauze. The golden corn stalks swayed gently in the wind, making a rustling sound.
Zhou Yanjing and Shen Liwu stood side by side on the edge of the field, each holding a sickle in their hands, the blade flashing coldly in the sun.
"There's not much work to do today, I'll try to finish it early." Zhou Yanjing said as he hooked a corn stalk with his sickle and exerted force with his wrist, and the corn stalk broke.
Shen Liwu nodded, bent down and cut off a corn, his movements were a little clumsy. After all, she was not an ordinary farm worker, and she did not control the strength of her hands accurately enough, and she almost cut herself several times.
She frowned, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and muttered, "This job is much more tiring than I thought."
