"Amo, it's so hot. My hair is stuck to my neck and it's itchy." Lin Wen whimpered pitifully. Lin Mo's arms were so tired that they felt weak. Looking at his hair scattered on his neck, he reached out and lifted it aside.
"Tuanzi, do you know how to tie your hair?"
Tuanzi, who was lying on the grass with his arms and legs spread out, suddenly sat up. He glanced blankly at Lin Mo, then at Lin Wen's messy hair, and nodded, "I will!"
As he spoke, he began to braid Lin Wen's hair. Lin Wen's hair was long and thick. He tried very hard several times, but he was small and his hands were small, so every time some of the hair fell down.
After struggling for a long time, Lin Wen's hair was not tied properly. Instead, the pain made Lin Wen's eyes red, and the hair became even more messy.
Tuanzi hurriedly wiped away his tears, "I'm sorry, Master Awen, I can tie my own hair, and I thought I could do it for you..."
Seeing Tuanzi's face full of panic, Lin Wen said with a tearful voice: "Don't be afraid, Tuanzi, I'm not in pain anymore. Ah Wen just couldn't help crying."
He rubbed his scalp that was pulled sore, sniffed, and looked at Lin Mo with tears in his eyes: "Amo, Amo, help me."
Lin Mo frowned and touched Lin Wen's hair. His hair volume was comparable to his. In his memory, the original owner did help Lin Wen tie his hair occasionally, but the original owner's skill was also very poor, and he definitely couldn't tie a bun.
In this weather, if Lin Wen let her hair down, she would probably get a rash all over her neck in no time. He moved his body and was about to tie Lin Wen into a low ponytail.
Tang Jie hurried over and saw Lin Wen's red eyes. He immediately pulled him in, not caring whether Lin Mo was still there or not. He coaxed him softly, "What's wrong, Awen? Why are you crying? Did you get bitten by a bug?"
"Oh! Are you not dressed properly? Why are there mosquito bites all over your arms and neck?"
"Why is your hair so messy? Did you fall?"
"Is it hurting anywhere? Your clothes are covered in mud. Did you really fall?"
“…”
Lin Mo watched as Tang Jie took the petite Lin Wen aside, checked his clothes and mosquito bites from head to toe, and after confirming that Lin Wen was not injured, he naturally and quickly helped Lin Wen tie his hair into a bun.
Lin Wenzhe was smiling foolishly. From the moment Tang Jie came, he just let Tang Jie do whatever he wanted to him. He would only stretch out his left hand and never his right hand. He was as obedient as a little kid.
Lin Mo: “…”
He had never seen how these two people got along before, but now it seems that if this is the case, Lin Wen and Tang Jie are together.
As a younger brother, it's not that he can't accept it.
He turned his head to look at Tuanzi, who had a calm and trusting expression, and asked doubtfully, "Ever since you followed Awen, has Tang Jie often come to see Awen?"
Tuanzi nodded and said, "He comes here often. Except for the time when he is in town, Brother Tang Jie comes to see the young master every day as long as he is in the village."
As if thinking that his mission was to take care of Lin Wen, and afraid that Lin Mo would think that he had not done his best, Tuanzi hurriedly added: "Third Master, I have always taken good care of Master Awen. Even when they are together, I will watch from afar."
Lin Mo's eyes flashed with surprise, and he was shocked by Tuanzi's words "come here every day".
He hesitated, looking at the two people who were still playing with each other, then looked at Tuanzi, who was always the third wheel. "From now on, you don't have to call Awen Master. Just call him Awen. You don't have to stay with Awen all day long. If Tang Jie is with him, you don't have to follow them."
Tuanzi nodded. Although he didn't understand Lin Mo's eyes, he was very obedient and did whatever Lin Mo said.
The clay pot filled with water was right next to the tree. Lin Mo drank two more bowls before looking into the distance to see Tang Le's figure.
The other person was still working hard in the field. He reluctantly came out of the field only when Lin Sheng and Su Mu came back to call everyone for lunch.
The family sat around under the small tree, all of them sweating profusely, especially the men, whose bodies had already begun to smell of sweat.
"Lunch is ready. Yanzhi is waiting at home. We can eat it when we get back. You guys drink some water and rest for a while, then we can go back."
Lin Sheng poured out the water in the jar, making two bowls in total. Everyone took turns drinking. He was embarrassed to pour it for Tang Le right at the beginning.
After walking around a circle of people, he calmed down and handed it to Tang Le with a calm face: "Brother Le, you should drink some water too. Thank you for coming to help my family harvest rice today."
Tang Jie's old face turned red, and he awkwardly wiped his sweaty palms on his trouser legs before carefully taking the bowl of water. When he accidentally touched Lin Sheng's warm fingers, he was so excited that he almost dropped the bowl.
"No...you're welcome. Thanks for the water."
He carefully looked at Lin Sheng and saw that the other party didn't care about his previous incident and was still looking at him calmly. He was relieved that he didn't make the other party angry, but also felt a little disappointed.
Could it be that Lin Sheng really doesn't care about him at all?
Tang Le's face was slightly depressed. He hadn't seen Lin Sheng since that night. He knew that the Lin family was harvesting rice today, but because he didn't know which field to harvest first, he searched all of the Lin family's fields.
I had a lot to say to Lin Sheng, but I didn’t know how to start.
"Ahem!" Lin Sheng coughed twice awkwardly, looked at the others uncomfortably, and glared at Tang Le with some displeasure. Everyone was still here, how could he have the nerve to stare at him stupidly!
Tang Le's face suddenly turned red when he reacted. He looked at Lin Mo and Lin Wu embarrassedly and awkwardly, and forced an awkward smile on his dark and cold face.
He drained the water from the bowl in one gulp, handed it to Lin Sheng, and said embarrassedly, "I was just distracted. Sorry!"
"It's okay, Brother Le. Come to my house and help with the chores. There's no one to take care of the children at home. I've already taken them home with me, so you don't have to go back and cook for them."
When Tang Le goes out on weekdays, his two children are left at home. When they were younger, he asked neighbors to help take care of them. Later, when the children grew up and could cook for themselves, Tang Le no longer worried about their meals.
In previous years, when he helped the Lin family harvest rice, he would not stay at the Lin family for dinner. At most, he would accept some dried vegetables and other mountain products sent by Lin Sheng.
"They can cook for themselves, so it's okay if they don't take it over. I, I'm alone..."
Lin Wu knew Tang Le quite well. Seeing him frowning and unwilling to work, he immediately said, "Brother Le, don't be so formal! What kind of relationship do our two families have? Not to mention that you came to help and bring the children to dinner today, even if you didn't come to work, what's the big deal about having a meal!"
