Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh!
Despite Mo Yuan and Lin Xue's gritted teeth and relentless pursuit, they could only say they knew how to do farm work; they were far from being truly skilled.
Compared to the other two part-time groups, they were simply incomparable, and the gap between them widened rapidly!
By noon, seeing how much they had been overtaken, Lin Xue felt a little embarrassed.
I always feel like I'm holding everyone back!
Mo Yuan was also helpless. This was not his forte at all. He could only hurriedly eat lunch and try his best to catch up in the afternoon, but it was all in vain!
After a full day of work, although Mo Yuan and Lin Xue were exhausted, and the others were so tired they could barely stand up straight, the overall progress was less than halfway done!
It's not that they work slowly, it's just that there's so much land, and relying solely on manpower, they can only grind it down little by little!
Thinking about having to repeat this exhausting work the next day, Mo Yuan finally couldn't hold on any longer. No, he had to find another way!
Although I have a method for building a mechanical seeder in mind, it's clear that I can't make bricks without straw.
Even if he provides the blueprints, it would be difficult to recreate them given his current skill level.
Therefore, Mo Yuan had no choice but to settle for second best. As he had said before, if all else failed, he would ask someone else for help!
I shared my thoughts with my parents during dinner.
"Father, Mother, this can't go on forever. We can't keep leaving Lin Xue's side, and I have other things to do. This is too slow. If all else fails, let's try to find her using the same method as before!"
Lin Xue lowered her head and remained silent, feeling a pang of guilt. She knew Mo Yuan was concerned for her, and was about to say that she could manage...
But Mo Yuan subtly tugged at her, stopping her. Lin Xue, already quite attuned to this, immediately understood that Mo Yuan didn't want her to take the lead.
So I just listened quietly to what he had to say!
Before Mo Youshan and his wife could speak, their eldest sister, Mo Hongying, took the initiative to speak.
"What are you looking for? You all go ahead and do your work. I can do more. If necessary, I'll have Daya come with me to the fields tomorrow. She won't be able to manage the seeds anymore! Leave the work in the fields to me!"
Mo Hongying tried her best to appear somewhat humble!
But she was stopped! "What are you saying? Everyone should work in the fields together. Even if Daya can help, we can't let you two do it. Besides, time waits for no one. We need to plant the seeds quickly and water the land before we can feel at ease. Otherwise, it's so hot, and the seeds will spoil!"
Yu Xiue looked at Mo Yuan with disdain again, "I know what you're thinking. You just can't stand the hardship and want to slack off! Lin Xue is somewhat understandable, the pig farm needs her too. What's wrong with you? Lin Xue, don't go tomorrow. You can't do it, you still have to go!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan turned ashen-faced and quickly begged Yu Xiu'e.
"Mom, I really have something to do! I can't be of much help with the work in the fields. Can't I find someone to help you? If you work me out, who will earn money to support you?! Hehe, right? Isn't it better to give money? Tomorrow I'll go to the county to buy some meat, and we'll make some stew and steam some buns. Who will help with the meals?"
"You're always causing trouble. You'd be better off thinking about how to get things done faster tomorrow! Besides..."
Yu Xiue wanted to say something more, but Mo Youshan interrupted her!
He took a puff of his pipe and tapped the ash off it on the edge of the table.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing, let's leave it at that! We have a lot of land but not enough people to do the work, and the eldest couple doesn't want to stop their business! Time waits for no one. We've only finished half of our land, and Gouzi's land isn't even finished yet. Mom, tomorrow you go find some good workers. Some of their families have already finished their work, and they don't need that many people to water the fields. Go find a few reliable ones, not lazy or unreliable ones! Just say you'll provide lunch!"
Yu Xiue nodded and replied earnestly, "Okay, sir, don't worry! I know very well who works well and who doesn't in the team. Leave this to me!"
No one doubted Yu Xiue's words; she was indeed very capable when it came to organizing things.
Plus, Mo Yuan mentioned that he'd also provide a meal, so it goes without saying...
When Mo Yuan got married, his family only passed by once. Now everyone is curious about the food at Mo Yuan's house.
I'm so envious! If I had the chance to have a meal here, lots of people would be willing to come!
This matter has finally been settled, and everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
Mo Yuan and Lin Xue, in particular, exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with undisguised joy!
After getting into bed that night, Lin Xue leaned over and asked with a smile, "Mo Yuan, tell me honestly, is it really true, like Mother said, that you want to slack off?! I haven't heard anything about you doing anything!"
Seeing Lin Xue's playful demeanor, Mo Yuan's lust was aroused, and he couldn't help but pull her into his arms and embrace her.
I gently patted a soft spot on the other person's body.
Unable to resist teasing him, he said, "I'm only doing this for you, little girl. What, you still want to work? How about I go to the pig farm for you tomorrow, and you can continue working in the fields?"
Lin Xue slapped away Mo Yuan's restless hand and gave him a playful glare.
"You idiot, I know you're doing this for my own good, Mo Yuan, thank you!"
After saying that, she kissed Mo Yuan on the cheek!
She could truly feel Mo Yuan's concern for her, ever since she was sent to the countryside.
In all these years, I've never received so much care and love from anyone.
Seeing that Lin Xue seemed a little down, Mo Yuan guessed she was thinking about something unpleasant, so he quickly tried to distract her.
"And I'm telling the truth, I really have something to do! Tomorrow I'm not just going to the county to buy vegetables and meat, I have other things to do too! We're not really suited for farm work, so let's not force ourselves! Tomorrow I'll cook them a good meal, I don't believe Mom won't find people to help! Hehe!"
Seeing him like this, Lin Xue couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're such a glutton! And you act like a little kid!"
"Hehe, I've been so good to you, how about a reward? You dared to wrongly accuse me just now, you have to be punished! A spanking shouldn't be a problem, right? Lights out, lights out, I think we need to have a deeper conversation about our relationship!"
As he spoke, Mo Yuan extinguished the kerosene lamp, and his large hands reached out towards Lin Xue in the darkness.
After darkness fell, the rustling sound of clothes being undressed could be heard very quickly!
Lin Xue was no longer the naive young woman who had just become a wife. Feeling Mo Yuan's passion, she half-heartedly yielded to him.
Ugh! How annoying!
Nothing more was said that night...
