Wang Shuo quickly helped his mother to sit down on the edge of the field; it was clear she had been working there for a long time.
“We were worried at home, so we came to help. With one more person, it will be faster.”
It's not just one more person; food is precious, and they've all come from hard times.
"I'll take your mother back to rest and eat first, and I'll come back to help later."
Yang Yufen walked over. Everyone had finished harvesting this area; many hands make light work.
"Okay, thank you for your help, godmother."
Wang Shuo had to leave for some business. He watched Yang Yufen ride her bicycle steadily with her mother on the back before turning around to attend to his own business.
"It would be better if it were a tricycle; we'll get another one later."
Yang Yufen steadied the handlebars. The ground after the rain was a mixture of cement and grass. It was a little better where there was grass, as it was not easy to sink in. However, it was very slippery where there was no grass. It was much better when she got onto the main road.
Yang Yufen and her companion went straight to a noodle shop after returning to the entrance of the family compound.
“It hailed yesterday, where did you all go so early this morning? You’re all covered in mud and water.”
Gui Xiang quickly brought two bowls of steaming hot noodles to the two of them.
"They went to help with the harvest. How are Ershun and the others doing? The beans in the field?"
Yang Yufen remembered it at this moment.
"The person is alright, but the fields are already in such a state. The noodle shop can't close down. The old man and Ershun picked all the green beans yesterday, so the loss isn't too great. If the green beans stop growing, we'll plant something else."
Having almost lost her husband and child, Guixiang now values people even more. As long as people are safe, she's not afraid of anything, even if the sky falls.
"It's good that everyone is alright."
Yang Yufen really didn't think that far ahead yesterday; the roof was finished late at night.
"Has the roof been repaired?"
Yang Yufen asked worriedly.
"It's been repaired. Several regular customers helped with the repairs yesterday. There were a lot of tiles left in the yard, and they're all fixed now. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to open the gate on time today."
Yesterday, it suddenly hailed. Gui Xiang decisively sent people into the shop to take shelter, and business stopped. Everyone thanked Gui Xiang and offered to help. Gui Xiang then cooked hot soup noodles and distributed them to those who helped.
Gui Xiang recounted what had happened yesterday, and Yang Yu Fen listened.
"Yesterday's expenses should be included in the cost; don't deduct it from your own account."
Before leaving, Yang Yufen made a point of saying something.
The two went home to tidy up and rest, planning to go help again in the afternoon. Wang Shuo returned with mud on his knees and clothes, which didn't look like he got it from working, but rather like he had accidentally fallen.
"Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"
Fang Fen spoke with concern.
"fine."
Wang Shuo shook his head.
"I'll go boil some water and find you some clothes."
Fang Fen hurriedly went to the kitchen.
"good."
Wang Shuo nodded.
Yang Yufen heard the sound and went over.
"Godmother, you and Mom should rest at home this afternoon. People from above have been sent to help."
Wang Shuo was genuinely worried about the health of the two elderly women.
“Godmother is bored at home. Look now, the children are not at home. It’s just this little bit of land, and it doesn’t take much work. She’s idle all day long.”
Yang Yufen spoke frankly.
Wang Shuo was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly thought of something.
"Godmother, you're bored at home, how about I find you something to do that you can get paid for? It's at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The Academy has a lot of experimental fields, and the students have to study and conduct experiments. The fields are prone to weeds and you can't keep up with the work. When it's time to harvest, you'll also need some help. What do you think?"
Wang Shuo thought for a moment and realized that his mother also liked working in the fields, but he hadn't been able to take care of her in the past. If his godmother were with his mother, the two old ladies would have each other's company and could do whatever they wanted as exercise.
"And you can go home whenever you need to, and do whatever you want."
"That's great!"
Yang Yufen's eyes lit up as well.
