When the whistle blows, it's time to get off work.
Hearing the whistle not far away, Su Huaiyuan, Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then the team leader in charge of their team would come over to check, and they could leave only after the inspection.
When the team leader saw the acre of land that the three of them had turned over, he just nodded, said something like "remember to return the tools to the warehouse after the work" and left.
This is the pass.
Not to mention Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan were excited, even Su Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile.
It’s not easy.
Farming is really harder and more tiring than they imagined. Even if they are mentally prepared and take some measures, it is still very hard and tiring, and they are exhausted both physically and mentally.
Well, during this period of time, the three of them dragged their tired bodies to hand in the tools first, and then walked towards their residence.
They still had dry food in the evening. Qiao Jiuru not only cooked rice, but also steamed buns, cut bacon and steamed it on the rice, steamed egg custard for Dabao and Xiaobao, and boiled cabbage.
After Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan got home, they quickly washed their hands and prepared to eat. Seeing such a meal, the couple didn't ask anything and just buried their heads in eating.
Dabao and Xiaobao started eating before they came back, and Qiao Jiuru fed them first before he started eating.
Zhou Wanwan, Su Ze and Su Huaiyuan wolfed down three steamed buns before they began to slow down.
Qiao Jiuru ate all of the twenty or so steamed buns, two kilograms of rice, and a large bowl of cabbage that he had made.
"After you wash up and apply medicine tonight, go to bed quickly. I have already made two pairs of gloves, and I will make the remaining two pairs later. Dabao and Xiaobao will sleep with us tonight, so you two should have a good rest."
The eldest son and daughter-in-law had never been to the fields, let alone such boring and strenuous physical labor. Qiao Jiuru could only ask them to have a good rest early, otherwise they would not be able to work tomorrow.
Zhou Wanwan and Su Ze were already full and tired at this moment, and didn't want to move. After hearing the instructions from my mother and mother-in-law, I nodded together.
Let the three of them sit down and rest first. Qiao Jiuru washed Dabao and Xiaobao's faces, hands, butts and feet first, and then sent them to bed.
Afterwards, Zhou Wanwan, who had rested enough, took half a bucket of hot water back to her room and washed her body. Then, Su Ze also brought half a bucket of water to the kitchen to clean it.
"In addition to rubbing the palms of your hands, you should also rub this ointment on your arms and shoulders, otherwise you may not be able to lift the hoe tomorrow."
Before the young couple went to bed, Qiao Jiuru went to their room, gave them a bottle of ointment, and then gave them two body-building pills.
"You can also take these two health-enhancing pills. You will get used to it after a while."
Qiao Jiuru didn't need to say anything. Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan swallowed the strengthening pills without saying a word, and then took the ointment and applied it to their necks and arms.
When Qiao Jiuru turned around and went back to their room, Su Huaiyuan was sitting on the kang playing with his two grandchildren.
"Old Su, I seemed to see Cai Qingwen's wife coming out to collect firewood this afternoon. She looked very thin. She must be in poor health. She kept coughing."
Qiao Jiuru also went over to play with the two little guys and told him about the people he met in the afternoon.
"That should be him. After work this afternoon, Lao Cai looked at me stealthily several times. I think it's him."
Su Huaiyuan also secretly looked at Cai Qingwen several times in the afternoon and confirmed that this person was him. He couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart. He didn't expect that they would meet in this place.
"He once said that his wife died in the third year after he came here, so that must have happened this year."
Qiao Jiuru thought of the white-haired, haggard, and lonely Cai Qingwen from her previous life, and also thought of the five thousand dollars he left for her before he left her home.
At the same time, in the cowshed about a thousand meters away from here, Cai Qingwen and Zhou Meihua were also talking about Su Huaiyuan's family.
"I saw Su Huaiyuan's wife and two grandchildren while collecting firewood this afternoon. They looked pretty good."
Zhou Meihua thought of the two lovely little guys. She could hear their chirping voices from afar, sitting on her head and looking up at the stern look of their grandmother on the mountain.
Very cute.
“I really didn’t expect that.”
Cai Qingwen was also filled with emotion, and felt even more emotional about his former schoolmates suffering the same fate.
"Why don't we go see them?!"
Zhou Meihua looked at her husband and asked softly. She knew the conflict and entanglement in his heart.
Sure enough, Cai Qingwen didn't say anything.
"Go ahead. I believe in Su Huaiyuan's character. I also think his family is pretty good. Otherwise, they wouldn't be here together."
Zhou Meihua gently persuaded him that he would not be so lonely if he had more acquaintances. Especially if she couldn't make it, at least someone would be able to comfort him.
Cai Qingwen looked at his wife's gentle and encouraging smile under the dim light, and nodded after a while.
After Zhou Meihua got his consent, she immediately went to the kitchen and took out a small cookie and held it in her hand.
Soon, the two of them quietly left the cowshed together.
