Chapter 20 You said, I should do this, right?
The old lady broke off an ear of corn, while Wen Ran was still carefully looking for grown corn.
The old lady broke off five ears of corn, and Wen Ran finally picked one.
The old lady put seven ears of corn into the basket, and Wen Ran broke off one.
The old lady had harvested ten ears of corn. Wen Ran went through untold hardships and finally kicked down the corn stalks.
aunt:"……"
Her eyebrows and eyes twitched, and she turned away, telling herself, out of sight, out of mind. Just don't make trouble, and do it slowly.
If it really doesn't work, just give her two work points!
No more!!!
Everyone worked very hard.
The corn stalks were very tall and stood densely together, making it almost impossible to get through. After working for a while, her thin clothes were soaked with sweat.
While the old lady was working, she was also keeping an eye on the three people. To sum up, although the handsome one and the fat one were not capable, their attitudes were very positive.
But the one who kept his head down and didn't say anything was the one who was very lazy.
She knew what was going on, but she didn't say anything.
After struggling for a long time, Wen Ran became more and more skilled. However, it was hot, and the edges of the corn leaves were very sharp. Wen Ran was not careful and got two more scratches on his face.
It feels hot and painful.
She knew that if she couldn't handle it well, she would live like this for the rest of her life, so she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
The old lady saw it and sighed, "If you are tired, just take a rest."
"It's OK," Wen Ran smiled, "It's just too hot."
"It's still hot now," the old lady said, without stopping her hands. "The tender corn will only last for three to five days. Once the county town doesn't want it anymore, we can wait another ten days or so and then prepare for the autumn harvest."
Autumn harvest begins in August.
The first thing to do is to harvest corn, and then spring wheat. After harvesting both crops, we have to start plowing the land without stopping. Only when the winter wheat is planted can the year's work be considered to have come to an end.
The old lady smiled and said, "When the autumn harvest begins, you will know what heat is."
Well, this sentence made Wen Ran feel very cold in his heart.
After working hard for a whole morning, Wen Ran felt like his waist was broken. He turned around and saw that he had only picked three baskets of corn.
Bao Wenxuan was as hot as a small tomato, her face flushed. She took a look at her results and said with a sad heart, "I don't have as much as you do."
Of course, the most outrageous one was Li Gailian’s. She spent the whole morning breaking out a basket of them.
With a weak look on his face, he said, "I'm so tired."
The old lady looked at the three people and smiled without saying anything. "Take a rest for a while. When the people have picked the corn away, we can go home and eat."
There were three burly men who came to pick corn. When they saw the corn in the field, their eyes widened in surprise, but the lady leading the team didn't say anything. They certainly wouldn't say much to avoid being annoying.
Carrying
"Let's go."
Wen Ran hesitated. She also wanted to leave, but she didn't know where to go.
"Why aren't you moving?" The old lady took a sip of water. "Why, do you like working in the fields?"
Wen Ran was embarrassed, "Auntie, I don't know how to get back."
"Hahahaha, are you staying at the Xiao family?"
"Yes," Wen Ran looked at her, "I wonder what to call you, Auntie!"
The old lady laughed and slapped her head, "Look at me, I'm busy working. My name is Zhou Xiaolan, you can just call me Aunt Xiaolan from now on."
Just after saying a few words, Xiao Chenye came over with a kettle.
"Huh?" The young man asked in surprise: "Tatsuno, what are you doing here?"
He put down the basket, picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his face, "It's still got water, give me a drink."
Xiao Chenye dodged and frowned, "Tian Mancang, what are you doing?"
"Hey, you're so old now, when will you change this bad habit of yours?" Tian Mancang grumbled unhappily, "We grew up together wearing open-crotch pants, and I can't even drink your saliva."
Xiao Chenye's eyes passed over Tian Mancang's face and fell on Wen Ran, "Don't say such disgusting things. I moved the car a bit and put it next to the field. Don't make a mistake."
"Okay!"
Tian Mancang walked with the basket on his shoulder, not forgetting to complain, "Brother, I'm really sorry to say that these educated youth work so hard, it's hard to describe in words."
Xiao Chenye: "It's hard to describe the way you talk behind people's backs."
After saying that, he walked away, leaving Tian Mancang standing there dumbfounded.
That's not right!
Wasn’t it Xiao Chenye who looked down upon the educated youth the most before?
Why do you feel so righteous today?
It's really strange.
"Tian Mancang, if you don't hurry up, we won't wait for you!"
“Here it comes!”
Aunt Xiaolan was planning to send Wen Ran back, but unexpectedly she met Xiao Chenye.
"Hey," Aunt Xiaolan smiled, "Why are you here?"
"Mother was worried that the educated youth Wen might not know the way, so she asked me to pick him up."
As Xiao Chenye explained, he handed the kettle to Wen Ran and said, "Drink some water."
Wen Ran was surprised, and Xiao Chenye whispered, "It's the same one you used before."
"Thanks."
She was inexperienced and didn't know to prepare water when she went to the fields. She was so absorbed in her work that she didn't notice it, but now that she had come to her senses, she felt her throat was dry and smoking.
He drank half of it in one breath, and Wen Ran gave the rest to Bao Wenxuan who was looking at him eagerly.
Aunt Xiaolan didn't notice the young man's eyebrow lawsuit.
He just praised Xiao's mother, "Indeed, your mother is a great person."
Then she said worriedly, "I heard that your sister was brought back yesterday. What's wrong? Was she bullied?"
"Well," Xiao Chenye did not shy away from saying, "My sister will not live with him anymore."
Aunt Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tried to persuade her: "Young couples always quarrel and argue, didn't your Xiaoyue just give birth to a child?
But what about the children?"
"I'll take care of her," Xiao Chenye said with a clear and upright look, beckoning Wen Ran to follow him, "The Li family is not human, if we live there, my sister and the child will be tortured to death.
When we go back to my parents’ home, as long as the people in our team don’t point fingers at us, my sister and the children will be comfortable.”
After that, Xiao Chenye said politely: "Aunt, I won't talk to you anymore, mother is still waiting for us to eat."
"Oh oh oh," Aunt Xiaolan was still shocked by the huge news and could only stammer a few words in response.
Watching the two figures walking side by side getting farther and farther away, she muttered, "This Xiao family is just different from others."
"What's the difference?"
Bao Wenxuan didn't leave. Xiao Chenye had spoken with a cold face just now, and she was a little scared, so she simply left with Aunt Xiaolan.
"Hey, why are you so curious?"
Bao Wenxuan said frankly, "I'm free anyway, why not chat?"
"Too……"
.
On the field stalks, Xiao Chenye walked very quickly. Wen Ran didn't say a word, just followed him silently.
"Little Wen Zhiqing," he suddenly said. Wen Ran was stunned and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Chenye was a little confused, "Is this right?"
