"Wow, how come you are so fast?" Chen Ran opened his mouth in surprise when he saw that they not only completed the task of the day, but also completed a small part of the task of the next day.
"The tasks have been assigned. We can rest earlier if we finish them earlier." Han Yimo said as he was cutting rice quickly. He was still thinking that if they could finish the task earlier, they could go for a walk in the mountains, get some prey and exchange them for some money in the town.
Because of that idiot Liu Ruoling, they hadn't been into the mountains for a long time. They couldn't even get a pheasant to eat, and it was impossible for them to go to the village or town to buy meat often. His stomach was empty, and if he had time to go into the mountains, he would definitely eat his fill in the mountains.
There were quite a few pheasants and rabbits in their storage beads, but they couldn't take them out, let alone eat them raw. Seeing them made them itchy.
"Let's thresh the grain." Wu Shudong also thought this plan was good. He could finish the task early and rest early.
"Let's go harvest the rice first." Chen Ran and Tang Xinmei came with sickles and walked over to Qiao Mo to start harvesting rice.
"Sister Xinmei, you go back and cook later. I'll be busy here." Qiao Mo thought that Tang Xinmei had the weakest physical strength among them, so he simply asked her to cook for him.
"Momo, this is not good, right?" Tang Xinmei hesitated. Reaping rice is hard physical work, while cooking is the easiest job. How could she take advantage of her?
"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm stronger than you and I'm not as tired as you when doing these things." Qiao Mo thought to himself that he was also faster and everyone could go back earlier.
"Then I'll go back first. Thank you, Momo." Tang Xinmei felt that her waist was about to break. She would only be a burden to everyone if she stayed here, so she no longer refused her kindness.
"You're welcome. Cooking is not an easy task either," Qiao Mo said with a smile.
Seeing Tang Xinmei leave, Chen Ran said enviously: "Momo, it's great to be your friend."
"You are my friend too." Qiao Mo smiled at her and said, "From now on, you and Sister Xinmei will take turns cooking. I won't join you."
"Momo, you are also a girl." Chen Ran said disapprovingly.
"I have practiced before, and my physical strength is no worse than that of ordinary men. Don't worry, I will definitely not let myself suffer any loss." Qiao Mo said with a smile. In fact, she didn't like cooking very much, especially washing vegetables and dishes. Greasy things were the two things she hated the most.
"Thank you, Momo, I know you are taking care of us." Chen Ran said with emotion.
Working in the fields is hot and tiring, so who wouldn't want to cook at home? Qiao Mo was physically strong, but she didn't owe them anything. The reason she offered not to take turns cooking was purely out of consideration for them, fearing they wouldn't be able to handle it.
"You're welcome. It's fate that we can live under the same roof. It's only natural that we should help each other." Qiao Mo patted her shoulder. "There's no need to be too picky between us."
"Yeah." Chen Ran suppressed the tears in his eyes and nodded.
The silver moon hung in the sky, spreading silver-gray all over the ground. The evening breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of coolness and taking away the heat from people's bodies.
"It's so cool." Chen Ran stood up and patted his sore waist.
"Although I'm still tired, it's much more comfortable than working under the scorching sun." Wu Shudong sighed, "It's a pity that the moonlight isn't as bright as the sun. Otherwise, I could work at night and rest during the day, and I wouldn't get sunburned."
