Lin Qixia went back to her room to sleep, and only when she lay on the bed did she feel her whole body relax.
Perhaps because she was too tired during the day, Lin Qixia slept very soundly.
The next day, after getting up, Lin Qixia called her older brother and sister-in-law, and then knocked on Lin Jiudong's door: "Hurry up, get up!"
Lin Jiudong, who was in the room, started cursing because of the noise: "Lin Qixia, are you trying to kill me! What are you doing, not letting people sleep so early in the morning!"
"Of course, we're calling you to get up and come with us to the fields to work for the Tian family," Lin Qixia said leisurely as she continued to call her.
Because of Lin Qixia's words, Lin Jiudong's sleepy face instantly became more awake.
Yes, we agreed yesterday to help Aunt Yunxia.
"Oh," she replied, still speaking sarcastically to Lin Qixia outside, "You, Lin Qixia, are the most enthusiastic one, what are you pretending to be, this great philanthropist!"
Despite grumbling and cursing, she still got up and quickly got dressed.
After the family finished breakfast, they went straight to the Tian family's house early in the morning.
Soon Yunxia and Tian Ye'er also came out.
"Today, our job is to haul these straws to Aunt Yunxia's field and spread them out," Lin Qixia said to everyone.
This is a tiring job, which is why she mobilized everyone she could today.
Even Lin Xiao pushed his wheelchair over to help. Although she didn't ask him to do so, Lin Xiao insisted.
"Since I'm just lazing around at home anyway, I might as well use this as my exercise today," Lin Xiao said.
Seeing this, Lin Qixia agreed.
A group of people stood in front of a stack of straw and firewood taller than a house, their expressions somewhat complicated as they faced this seemingly daunting task.
"Straw? Why do you need to do that?" Yunxia couldn't help but ask Lin Qixia, still puzzled, after hearing her request.
She could understand asking them to water the soil yesterday, but what Lin Qixia taught them to do today was quite puzzling.
Faced with her question, Lin Qixia pondered for a moment and said, "Let's get to work now. Time is of the essence. I'll talk to you on the way."
"Oh, okay then," Yunxia replied.
They knew time was of the essence and dared not delay any longer.
"Big brother, you can just help us load the straw here," Lin Qixia instructed Lin Xiao. "We need more than one truckload of straw today."
Lin Xiao replied, "Okay."
The group worked together and made great progress. In no time, they had filled a cart with straw.
Lin Qixia and Yunxia then pushed the cart away and went to the fields.
Lin Xiao stayed where he was, waiting to load another truck.
The Tian family's land is quite far from Xiahe Village. In order not to waste time today, Lin Qixia borrowed an extra vehicle from her neighbor Zhang Dazhuang's family, which was his oxcart.
A short while later, Zhang Dazhuang arrived with his cart. When he saw Lin Xiao, he was taken aback for a moment, then greeted him, "Hey, Lin Xiao, you're... feeling much better."
"Yes, thanks to my second sister," Lin Xiao replied, being quite polite to him.
Zhang Dazhuang smiled and said, "Your girl has really been quite capable lately."
It seems my wife was right. The second sister of the Lin family is really accomplished. Not only can she hunt, but she can also treat people's illnesses.
Surprisingly, it really did cure her older brother, Lin Xiao, a lot.
Lin Xiao: "Of course, that's my second sister."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao's tone was somewhat proud.
Zhang Dazhuang nodded, looking at Lin Xiao with some emotion.
They were the ones who went to pick up the injured person.
He was so badly injured back then, but now... he can actually come out and help with the work.
That's good, the Lin family is slowly getting better.
"I've brought the oxcart over, just leave it here," Zhang Dazhuang said to Lin Xiao after stopping the oxcart and jumping down.
Lin Xiao responded, thanked him, and watched him leave.
Then, he turned his gaze to the stack of straw next to him, and then looked at Lin Yi beside him.
Lin Yi: "Dad? What do you want to do?"
“Help Dad load the straw onto the oxcart,” Lin Xiao said to her.
...
On the other side, Lin Qixia and Yunxia pulled a cartload of straw to the field.
Lin Qixia said to them, "Alright, start helping to lay the straw. I'll show you how to do it later."
"good."
"Let's begin then."
Yunxia and He Zhilan responded in unison.
Only Lin Jiudong said listlessly, "This area is so big, when will it ever be finished?"
Looking around, it was clear that the work needed to be done in a radius of several hundred meters, making it a very demanding task.
Seeing her like this, Lin Qixia teased, "Who knows? Anyway, this task must be completed today."
"If we don't finish laying the sheets, we'll just have to stay here and starve, maybe until tomorrow morning~"
"What?" Lin Jiudong turned pale with fright upon hearing Lin Qixia's words.
"Xia'er, stop teasing her." He Zhilan was both amused and exasperated when she saw this, and advised Lin Qixia.
He turned to Lin Jiudong and urged, "Dong'er, hurry up and move the straw."
It's already quite an achievement that Lin Jiudong was able to come here to work.
"Okay," Lin Jiudong replied, and obediently went to move it.
Lin Qixia had already jumped off the ridge and stood in the field. When Lin Jiudong came over, she said to her, "Just put it here for now, and then continue moving."
The next second, Lin Jiudong glared at her: "I don't need your orders!"
As she spoke, she deliberately didn't go back to fetch more, but instead took a handful of straw and planned to spread it directly on the ground.
"Huh?" Lin Qixia spoke up again to stop her.
Lin Jiudong turned his head and glared at her: "What is it now?"
