Song Yaohui glanced at it, shook his head, and couldn't remember either.
Song Fanxing glanced at it and said, "River, the river of the great river, the river of the river water."
As soon as Song Fanxing finished speaking, she noticed two pairs of eyes looking at her.
Oops, I've been exposed by accident.
How can I win her back?
Song Yaohua muttered, "Little sister, are you pretending to be asleep? Did you actually listen to what the teacher taught?"
Song Fanxing laughed; this silly second brother had actually come up with an excuse for her.
"Oh, I happened to be up when the teacher was teaching this word, and I listened for a while."
Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua felt incredibly ashamed; their brains were actually inferior to their own sister's.
Song Yaohua: "Little sister, you're so smart, you can go to university in the future."
Song Fanxing smiled and asked, "What do you want to do in the future, eldest brother and second brother? Do you also want to go to university?"
It was 1968, and she knew that the college entrance examination was about to be abolished and would not be reinstated until 1977.
Song Yaohui pursed his lips. "I want to join the army, like my father."
Song Fanxing clapped her hands in approval.
"Brother, this is a good idea. When Dad comes back, you can tell him your thoughts. He might be able to help you."
Come to think of it, Song Fanxing has been here for so long, but she has never met the original owner's father.
The book says he is a tall, handsome, responsible, and capable soldier. I really want to meet him.
Song Yaohui said, "I will rely on myself!"
"Yeah, good luck, big brother, I believe in you."
A surge of fighting spirit instantly ignited in Song Yaohui's heart. He would not let his sister down and would become a soldier in the future.
Song Fanxing looked at Song Yaohua.
"Second brother, what about you?"
Song Yaohua looked conflicted, clutching his short buzz cut.
"I don't know what I'm capable of. Am I particularly unambitious?"
Song Fanxing encouraged him, "Second brother, I don't know what I want to do when I grow up either. We'll find out when we're a little older. Don't worry."
After hearing Song Fanxing's words, Song Yaohua immediately stopped being conflicted.
My sister is right. He's still young, why think so much? Just enjoy the present moment.
That night, Ye Fangxuan had a nightmare. In the middle of the night, she screamed, "Ah! Don't kill me!"
Successfully woke everyone up.
Fang Min hadn't fallen asleep. She casually comforted Ye Fangxuan a couple of times, and Ye Fangxuan bit her lip and cried.
Fang Jie and the three siblings, Song Yaohui, woke up, but remained silent and quickly fell asleep again.
Before we knew it, it was early October, and the village began its intensive autumn harvest.
The whole year's work is for these few days. The whole village joined in the autumn harvest, including the educated youth who were sent down to the village from above.
This year's harvest was not good; a rainstorm in the first half of the year killed part of the crops.
Even so, everyone still looked forward to the day of harvest, and every household was waiting for this little bit of food to keep them alive.
Fang Jie hasn't had time to cook these past few days, as she goes to work before dawn.
Song Yaohui felt sorry for his mother's hard work and took care of all the household chores.
He prepared breakfast for the whole family in the morning. After Song Fanxing ate, he brought food to Fang Jie. His two older brothers went to school. As for the pigs and chickens at home, there was no need to worry. They had an endless supply of food and didn't need to be fed at all. It saved him a lot of trouble.
At first, Fang Jie and Song Yaohui disagreed with Song Fanxing delivering the food alone, but no one could persuade her otherwise.
She's learned a trick: if no one agrees to her request, she'll act cute and charming, and no one can refuse her.
Fang Jie eventually agreed to let her deliver the food.
Song Fanxing had her own little scheme. She delivered food to Fang Jie, hoping to take some seeds and put them into the spiritual spring space.
She couldn't stand eating big corn cobs every day, no matter how delicious they were.
On the first day, she carried her cloth bag on her back, inside which was an aluminum lunchbox.
I was stunned by the sight before me as soon as I arrived at the field.
Today's harvest is rice.
The vast plains stretched out before us, golden and shimmering. People were busy at work, some harvesting rice, some threshing it, and some bundling straw. No one noticed her.
She searched around before finally finding Fang Jie in the line.
Her mother was skillfully harvesting rice. Although she looked slender, she was incredibly strong, cutting the rice faster than any of the women around her.
Song Fanxing sat on the edge of the field watching them work without disturbing Fang Jie.
She knew that everyone's mealtimes were fixed, and while others were working, she couldn't sit down and eat alone.
Besides, harvesting rice at this time will leave you covered in dust, and you'll eat a meal with a belly full of dust.
She noticed that people were coming to deliver food one after another, including elderly people and children.
Half an hour later, everyone gradually stopped.
Fang Jie turned around and saw the little cotton-padded jacket sitting on the edge of the field.
Despite the many people on the ridge, she spotted her own little cotton-padded jacket at a glance; it was the most eye-catching one.
She put down her sickle and strode towards Song Fanxing.
"Star, how long have you been here?"
Song Fanxing smiled sweetly and replied, "It's been a while."
"Come a little later tomorrow. It's very dusty here, and it's unpleasant to eat a belly full of dust."
"Okay, Mom."
Song Fanxing took out a lunchbox and handed it to Fang Jie, "Mom, eat. Big brother made some really delicious food today."
Fang Jie took a bite and thought it was good; she had improved a lot.
She was such a busy mother that her eldest son started cooking at the stove when he was five years old, with a small stool under his feet.
At first, I kept burning the food, sometimes making it too salty, sometimes too bland, and sometimes burning myself.
She felt both heartbroken and helpless.
Now the eldest son can cook very well.
Thinking back to those years, after being kicked out by her mother-in-law, her two sons lived with her in a thatched hut for three months. They were terrified of wind and rain and never had a hot meal. But both sons were exceptionally well-behaved and sensible, never crying or making a fuss, and even helping with chores.
Thankfully, the most difficult years are over.
After all the hardships, Fang Jie revealed a relaxed smile.
After eating, Fang Jie started working again.
Song Fanxing packed the lunchbox into a cloth bag and followed.
"Mom, I want to see what rice looks like."
Fang Jie, of course, would not refuse her request, and took her little hand to walk towards the area she was assigned.
Upon arriving at the destination, Fang Jie pulled over a wisp of rice.
"Star, look, this is what rice looks like. Once you remove the husk, the inside is white rice, and it tastes delicious."
Fang Jie hadn't eaten rice for more than half a year and missed it terribly.
Song Fanxing grabbed the stalk of rice and looked at it from left to right. To an outsider, she looked just like a little child full of curiosity.
Fang Jie got busy and told Song Fanxing to go back.
Song Fanxing agreed, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, she tore off a handful of rice and threw it into her spatial storage.
Then they went home happily.
After arriving home, she thoughtfully washed the lunchbox, then moved a small stool to the yard and took a nap.
Fang Min was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), and Ye Fangxuan was leaning against her, eating a peach.
She finds it peaceful and comfortable to stay in the courtyard by herself.
I don't know if Ye Fangxuan has been starving these past few years or what, but she's been eating non-stop all day long, and now she's grown round and strong.
Doesn't look like a pitiful little thing at all.
Song Fanxing realized that she seemed to have crippled the female lead.
