However, amidst this harmonious atmosphere, Song Lili could sense a subtle sense of danger, directed at her.
Luo Juan must have been keeping an eye on her all along, right?
To Song Lili's surprise, Luo Juan also appeared in the autumn harvest team, going to the fields with everyone to harvest wheat.
This is what Zhang Qinghua told Song Lili; he told her secretly when he was assigning autumn harvest tasks to each brigade.
Song Lili couldn't understand why Luo Juan would do such a thing.
Is there something she doesn't know?
Song Lili followed the autumn harvest with trepidation, but she didn't see any action from Luo Juan.
First came the barley, which was harvested, threshed, and stored in the warehouse. Next came the wheat, which was the main crop for Hongqi Village.
During this period, everyone spent all their time in the fields except when they were sleeping, all in order to harvest the crops as soon as possible.
However, the weather this year doesn't seem to be cooperating, with constant light rain, requiring a shower every day.
So every day, you can see that around 4 or 5 pm, everyone goes home in the rain to finish work.
Then, after the rain stopped, it was time for dinner. Everyone cooked, ate, and then went to bed.
As a result, life is much easier than in previous years, when it would have been a real struggle. This year, it won't be like that.
But this worried the cadres of Hongqi Village, who feared that a heavy rain would fall that day, followed by overcast skies and rain, and that today's crops would be ruined.
Seeing Song Yongren sighing and complaining, Song Lili couldn't help but say, "Big Brother, there's no use worrying about it. You might as well just do what you're supposed to do."
"Even if it really rains, what can you do? There's nothing you can do, it only adds to your troubles. You might as well stay calm."
"Lili, you... sigh... you child, you still don't understand how important crops are to us. How can we not worry?"
"I was worried that the weather wouldn't be good during the autumn harvest, and this year it actually happened. What are we going to do?"
"You have no idea how anxious your Uncle Weimin and the Party Secretary are. They even have blisters on their lips. If this continues, the wheat will be ruined in the field."
Song Lili couldn't help but feel annoyed by Song Yongren's words; she was utterly exasperated by these people.
If you're in such a hurry, why not try to solve the problem? What's the use of just being anxious? Will being anxious stop the rain? Will being anxious make the crops harvest themselves?
None of these things are possible; being anxious is the most useless thing to do.
That's why she said it with disapproval, but she never expected to receive such a long reply from Song Yongren.
Enraged, Song Lili yelled at him, "If you're in such a hurry, then go and think of a solution! What's the use of being anxious? You might as well have everyone get up earlier in the morning to harvest the wheat."
Seriously, do they all lack brains?
"Hey, Lili, your method is pretty good." To Song Lili's surprise, Song Yongren looked at her with astonishment.
As if inspired by her words, he said, "I know what to do. Lili, I'm going to find your Uncle Weimin. You guys eat by yourselves."
With that, Song Yongren hurriedly ran out.
Song Lili watched helplessly as Song Yongren's figure disappeared. When did this big brother become so impatient? She never noticed before.
Little did she know that it was all because of the rain these past few days that Song Yongren, a man of such a mild temperament, couldn't help but become impatient.
Sure enough, Song Yongren didn't come back after dinner, and he didn't come home either when Song Lili was about to go to sleep.
The next day, just as the rooster crowed once, Song Lili was woken up by Song Yongren: "Lili, get up quickly, go to the field to harvest wheat."
Song Lili looked outside and saw that it was still dark. "It's too early. It's not even dawn yet. I want to sleep."
For once, Song Lili had the urge to stay in bed.
"Get up quickly, get up and eat something. It will be dawn by the time we get to the fields. We need to hurry up and harvest the wheat, otherwise..." Song Yongren was outside the house, and once he started talking, he couldn't stop.
Song Lili was so annoyed by what she heard that she jumped up and said, "Okay, okay, I'm up, I'm up."
If Song Yongren keeps talking like this, it'll sound like Tang Sanzang chanting sutras; my head is about to explode.
"...Alright, get up quickly, your sister-in-law is almost done cooking."
"I understand," Song Lili replied weakly, still feeling dizzy and confused.
"I shouldn't have reminded you. Isn't this just asking for trouble? It's such a waste," Song Lili muttered to herself, feeling resentful.
"Sister, get up, I'll go with you too," Song Fang said sweetly from the side.
"Fangfang is still the best." Song Lili couldn't help but vigorously ruffle Song Fang's fine, soft hair. Looking at the messy tangled hair, she finally got up in a good mood.
Outside, Xia Niu had also prepared the batter and heated up the multigrain steamed buns she had made a few days ago, and Song Yongren had already started eating them.
"Xia Niu, you don't need to go. Just stay home and prepare breakfast. Bring it over to us before you go to the fields," Song Yongren said while eating.
This was something they discussed last night: each family would leave one person at home to make breakfast for the whole family, while the others would go out early to harvest wheat.
Of course, work points are recorded as one and a half points. The person who makes breakfast gets one work point.
After thinking for a long time, Song Yongren decided to let Xia Niu stay at home while the others went to the field to harvest wheat.
"Uncle, why don't we let Lili stay home and cook, and I'll go to the fields with you?" Xia Niu said softly, raising her head.
"Sure, as long as you agree, I have no objection," Song Lili said with a half-smile.
Seeing Xia Niu's shameless act of wanting to maintain a virtuous image after being a prostitute, she couldn't help but want to do the opposite of what Xia Niu wanted.
If you want to show yourself off, you shouldn't use her as a raft; she doesn't want to.
Then, Song Lili saw Xia Niu's face stiffen, and a flash of annoyance seemed to pass through her eyes.
Song Lili looked at Xia Niu sarcastically, "Anyway, I don't care. You can arrange it, I'm fine wherever I am."
Xia Niu fell silent, and Song Yongren didn't speak either. Song Fang frowned as she looked at Xia Niu, her face showing displeasure.
Song Lili tapped Song Fang's bowl. "Stop daydreaming. Hurry up and eat, or it'll be late."
"Lili, let your sister-in-law stay at home. You come with us to the fields. Your sister-in-law isn't as capable as you."
Song Lili curled her lips sarcastically. People say that once you have a wife, you forget your mother. This Song Jianshe has started to exploit his sister now that he has a wife.
This is just the beginning; who knows what kind of trouble will ensue in the days to come?
Song Lili was so upset that she couldn't eat anymore. "I know, don't worry, I didn't mean to slack off at home."
