The rice plants are already over an hour tall and will soon swell. The wheat has already headed and the first crop will be ready for harvest soon. Peas and soybeans are also growing well.
The corn had already formed ears a few days ago. She peeled one and took a look. The pale yellow corn kernels were neatly arranged on the corncob. She pinched it lightly with her fingernails, and red juice burst out.
"It's just right, I can eat tender corn." Qiao Mo was so happy that she almost shouted out loud. Last time, she was not careful and the corn became old, and she lost the chance to eat tender corn. This time, she must save more.
So she went to the bungalow and got two baskets, broke off two baskets of corn cobs and put them in.
After she absorbed the wood energy from the corn stalks, she threw them aside to use as firewood later.
She also picked all the ripe vegetables and put them all into the bungalow.
Finally, she inspected the entire space and made sure there was nothing wrong before leaving and lying down on the bed to rest.
The next day was a sunny day, and it was also the day when the brigade started work. The brigade leader organized everyone to weed and fertilize the wheat and potatoes: the women weeded and the men fertilized.
Because the villagers rejected them, Chen Ran and Tang Xinmei naturally walked with Qiao Mo.
"Qiao Mo, are you guys having a good New Year's holiday here?" Chen Ran was envious when he saw Qiao Mo's rosy face and full of energy.
"Isn't it still the same?" Qiao Mo shook her head. This was her first Spring Festival here, and the only characteristic was that it was deserted.
"Isn't it quiet?" Tang Xinmei asked with a smile. The educated youth site was usually quiet enough, and it was even quieter this year with only the three of them.
"Yeah, but it's also very quiet." Qiao Mo nodded. Usually, the educated youths didn't interact with the villagers. Even during the Chinese New Year, no villagers came to visit. Of course, apart from visiting those few families to pay New Year's greetings, they didn't have the energy to go out into the village too much.
It's not that Qiao Mo hasn't thought about improving her relationship with the villagers, but since they didn't accept it, there was nothing she could do. Later, she thought that since she would be leaving next year anyway, it would be fine to maintain this kind of lukewarm relationship, so she gave up the idea.
"Sister Xinmei, the New Year in Kyoto should be very lively, right?"
"Now we are not allowed to set off fireworks, so no matter how lively it is, it won't be that lively. Besides, the liveliness is other people's business, not mine." Thinking of the scene at her home this time, Tang Xinmei sighed.
"Others have their own fun, and you have your own life. As a person, don't think too much, otherwise, you will get more and more troubled." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
"You're right. I just want to live a good life now, and we'll worry about the future later." Tang Xinmei nodded.
"But this is so difficult." Chen Ran thought of her life at home, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Let go of those who don't have you in their hearts, and don't expect those unrequited feelings. Live your own life well." Qiao Mo said calmly.
"Qiao Mo is right. My family gave up on me, so I decided to give it up too. People often say that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Without hope, there is no despair." Tang Xinmei seemed to have made a decision and said with a long breath.
