Yun Ningyan went to work with a basket on her back, while Huo Junshan was still in the fields, leading the old ox to plow the land.
Yun Ningyan had already cut two centimeters of pig feed in the morning, and in the afternoon she sat under a big rock under a tree to play. The tree had very dense leaves, and it was very cool to sit under it.
She sat there, half asleep.
The team leader was still supervising the work on the ridge of the field. The sun was shining down without any shade, so it was still a bit hot.
He was puffing on his pipe when two people walked over from a distance.
He was puzzled. Who were these two people? They didn't seem to be from their brigade.
The two men, one tall and one short, one dark-skinned and one fair-skinned, were already standing in front of him. He stood up, smoking his pipe, and looked them over. "Who are you looking for?"
The dark-faced man smiled; his already fierce appearance made the smile seem somewhat incongruous. "Comrade, my name is Wei Xiangdong. I'm here to see Huo Junshan. I'm his friend."
Oh! It's the third brother's friend!
Where did the third brother get such a strange friend?
He led the two men to find Huo Junshan. Huo Junshan was plowing in the middle of the field when the brigade leader cupped his hands around a megaphone and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Third brother, third brother, someone is looking for you."
When he shouted, everyone working looked up at the two of them. Huo Junshan heard his uncle's shout, took a sip of water, told the old ox to rest for a while, and took the water bottle to find the team leader.
He was a little surprised to see the two people next to the captain.
He didn't expect these two to come to him so quickly; he thought he would have to wait a long time.
Seeing that he was not speaking, Wei Xiangdong felt a little awkward. Huo Junshan waved the kettle in his hand and said, "Let's go over there."
The two followed him to the riverbank, where he saw Yun Ningyan sitting on a rock under a large poplar tree, lazing around with her eyes closed.
Sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves, falling like golden sand onto Yun Ningyan's beautiful face. She seemed to be bathed in a holy halo, her fair skin glowing with a shimmering white light. Strands of hair fell across her forehead, obscuring her downcast eyes.
Huo Junshan was mesmerized. He stared blankly at the sleeping girl not far away. He knew that his little girl had always been a beautiful girl.
Wei Xiangdong and Liu Erwa were also stunned by what they saw behind him. They had never seen such a beautiful girl before. Wei Xiangdong's heart was pounding faster and faster. When he came to his senses, Huo Junshan was glaring at him fiercely.
He quickly withdrew the inappropriate thoughts that had just arisen, and at the same time gave Liu Erwa a warning look.
Liu Erwa scratched his head awkwardly.
Huo Junshan suppressed his unpleasant expression, chuckled, walked over and gently touched Yun Ningyan, afraid of frightening her, and called out in a low voice, "Yanyan, wake up."
He practically enveloped Yun Ningyan in his arms, wanting to prove to the little girl that he was different from her, and also to show those two that if they dared to have any improper thoughts, he wouldn't hesitate to cut off their hopes once and for all!
When Yun Ningyan woke up, her eyes were still filled with confusion. When she saw Huo Junshan, she instinctively snuggled into his arms.
He mumbled, "Huo Junshan, are you done work? I'm so sleepy!"
Huo Junshan shook his head and said in a low voice, "Yanyan, don't sleep. There are outsiders here. Aren't you afraid of snakes, insects, and rats if you sleep here?"
Upon hearing the words "snakes, insects, rats, and ants," Yun Ningyan immediately snapped out of her daze.
Huo Junshan led the way to Wei Xiangdong and Liu Erwa, saying, "Yanyan, Wei Xiangdong has come looking for us."
Clouds and mist...
For a moment, she couldn't even remember who Wei Xiangdong was.
If it weren't for his distinctive dark-skinned, masculine face, she might not have recognized him.
Wei Xiangdong took the initiative to explain, "My family matters have all been resolved. My mother has passed away, and my sister also passed away after undergoing surgery due to a severe wound infection! Now I am all alone."
His eyes were filled with deep sorrow as he spoke, and his eyes instantly reddened!
If they had found the money sooner, his sister and mother wouldn't have had to die!
He's useless!
He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you! I will definitely find a way to pay you back! We came here to familiarize ourselves with the area so we can come back to pay you back in the future."
Yun Ningyan waved her hand, "No rush, you can pay me back whenever you have the means!"
Wei Xiangdong composed himself and smiled at her, then looked at Huo Junshan as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
His mother and sister are gone, he has no home, his house is bare, and there is no future for him.
Huo Junshan listened to his heartfelt words and felt sorry for him, but he was not a great philanthropist and could not save so many people.
Misfortune seems to target those who are destined for hardship.
"Was it too late to save your sister and your mother? Please accept my condolences."
Yun Ningyan also felt very sad; this was a case of losing both money and love.
Huo Junshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "They're gone now. You have to live well too. First, try to solve the current difficulties. In this special time, there's nothing we can do. It's best to just do our job well!"
Wei Xiangdong nodded.
Huo Junshan didn't agree to let him help him because he didn't know him well and didn't dare to make a decision easily. After all, if a business on the black market was reported, he would lose everything.
It's better to be cautious.
Yun Ningyan thought similarly to him, deciding to wait until the current situation had calmed down before making any decisions.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Wei Xiangdong and Liu Erwa went back.
After watching the two leave, Huo Junshan pulled Yun Ningyan aside and asked her, "Go back to sleep. You can't sleep by the river; there are too many bugs there. You might get bitten."
Yun Ningyan nodded, picked up her basket, and went to hand in her work.
On her way back, she ran into Meng Zhenzhen, who blocked her path. Meng Zhenzhen laughed arrogantly and provocatively, "Yun Ningyan, you can't even do a few centimeters a day, you can't even support yourself, right? How did Huo Junshan fall for you?"
Yun Ningyan chuckled twice and glanced at her. "I don't do any work every day, but Huo Junshan can afford to support me. What? Are you envious? It's a pity that Huo Junshan won't even give you a second glance."
She sneered twice, handed over the pig feed, and went back to rest. Meng Zhenzhen was not worth mentioning to her.
After she returned, she went to her spatial dimension and killed a pheasant, wanting to eat meat that night.
Cooking is still done in the open space, and after showering, hot water is boiled in a large pot outside.
It was still early, so she went into her space to check on the things she had planted before. The seeds she had sown and the fruit she had planted had already taken root and were growing very lushly.
The millet, wheat, corn, and soybeans have all grown quite large and look like they will be ready for harvest in a while.
She gazed at the fields, lost in thought. Could this space possibly accelerate time?
She came out of the space and checked her watch. It was 4:30. She had been in the space for half a day before coming out. She checked her watch again and found that less than two minutes had passed.
She calculated that the flow rate of time in space is about 5 times that of time outside, so the things she planted would mature in half a month outside.
This is an amazing fortune!
It seems she'll have to make better use of the space in the future!
