When Yunxia looked at her again, her eyes were filled with appreciation: "Xia'er, your medicine is indeed very good."
Not long after she took it, she actually felt much better.
"Of course!" Lin Qixia replied with a smile, happy to see that the product was effective for her.
Everyone took their medicine to avoid discomfort caused by the hot weather.
Lin Qixia was relieved, and they continued working afterwards.
Lin Xiao drove the car back and forth, and soon brought over several more cartloads of bellflower root.
"That should be enough," Lin Qixia said to Lin Xiao.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao replied, "Okay."
Since Lin Qixia had said enough, Lin Xiao stopped pulling Kikyo towards him.
He was sitting on the oxcart when he said, "You guys keep going, I'll go return the oxcart to Brother Zhang."
"Okay, big brother, take it easy." Lin Qixia waved her hand and watched Lin Xiao go back.
The rest of them continued working in the field, and when they were almost done by noon, Lin Xiao arrived again.
He brought lunch from home.
"Here, I made a few meat pies. They're pretty simple to make, so please bear with them," Lin Xiao said to the group.
Lin Qixia saw the fragrant pancakes he had made and felt hungry.
She strode over, wiped her hands, picked up a piece of bread, and sniffed it. The aroma of the bread mixed with the filling of meat filled the air: "This is no mere scrambled food! It smells delicious!"
As she spoke, she took a bite, surprised that Lin Xiao had such skill.
The pancakes were cooked to perfection, the heat was just right.
"Eat more if you like it," Lin Xiao said with a smile.
He Zhilan handed a pancake to Yunxia, and Lin Jiudong and Lin Yi next to her each took one and started eating.
Although the dough for the meat pie is unleavened, it is very thin and chewy, making it very satisfying to eat.
The meat filling inside the dough doesn't have many spices; the aroma comes more from the smoked meat.
Even so, it tastes delicious enough.
Especially since they had been working all morning, they were both tired and hungry.
"Mmm, the pancakes you made are delicious, big brother," Lin Jiudong praised with a happy expression.
At the same time, with his mouth stuffed full of food, he hadn't been so unconcerned about his image while eating in a long time.
The main reason was that she was extremely tired that morning.
Lin Xiao glanced at her and said, "Go back to work after you finish eating. Don't waste the food your sister worked so hard to bring back."
Lin Jiudong: "..."
Why did you have to remind her?
Lin Qixia has been really annoyed lately. It seems she has to do something to change her older brother's opinion of her!
After lunch, the group continued their work in the afternoon.
The news that Lin Qixia and the rest of the Lin family were helping the Tian family manage their land gradually spread throughout the village.
In the afternoon, more and more people gathered near Tianjia Wheat Field.
Many people, after finishing their farm work, come here and squat or stand to watch the excitement.
"What's the point of laying out so much straw?"
"I don't know. Wasn't the plan to help the Tian family save their crops?"
"Yes, Miss Lin is really something else, but will this really work?"
"Who knows? I think it's unlikely..."
During the discussion, many people were not optimistic about their approach.
Lin Qixia ignored them and focused on her own work, gradually covering the ground beneath her feet with straw.
Every time I looked up, I saw that the area they had completed was getting bigger and bigger.
By evening, the entire field was covered with straw.
The day's work is finally done.
"It's over!" Lin Jiudong was the first to cheer.
Lin Qixia stretched and replied, "Yeah, it's finally over."
She then exchanged a glance with Lin Jiudong, who simply snorted and turned away, ignoring her.
Lin Qixia shrugged and walked away indifferently.
Soon only Lin Jiudong was left in the field. It was dark now, and the surroundings were somewhat eerie.
Lin Jiudong was so frightened that she hugged herself tightly and cried out in a trembling voice, "Wait for me!"
As she was leaving, Yunxia stood at the edge of the wheat field, murmuring somewhat bewilderedly, "Will doing this... really work?"
In the afternoon, many fellow villagers were discussing it, and their words were full of skepticism.
As a result, the clouds and mist were inevitably affected.
Lin Qixia noticed her unusual behavior and said to her, "Let's go, Aunt Yunxia. You've worked hard enough today. Let time take its course and see if the wheat field's condition improves in a few days."
"You're right." Yunxia smiled and turned to follow them back.
Although she said that, Lin Qixia was actually more worried than Yunxia.
Therefore, in the following days, she would come to the Tian family's land from time to time to check on the situation.
A few days later, Lin Qixia packed her things and planned to go out early in the morning.
What was different on this day was that He Zhilan also came out with her.
"Xia'er, are you going to the Tian family's fields? Your sister-in-law is also quite curious about how that land is doing now," He Zhilan said to Lin Qixia somewhat awkwardly.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Lin Qixia, but that was, after all, the only piece of land Yunxia had left.
If they mess things up, we'll inevitably feel bad for them.
Behind her, Lin Xiao pushed the wheelchair and followed: "Yes, let's go take a look together."
Clearly, he shared the same thoughts as his wife, He Zhilan.
Lin Qixia glanced at the two of them, then smiled nonchalantly, "Let's go then, brother and sister-in-law."
Lately, a lot of people in the village have been watching her, which is quite strange. It would be good for her to have someone with her.
