The sun is particularly strong today. It's not even noon yet, but it makes my eyes hurt and my head dizzy. The sweat on my body is like water, flowing and never drying.
Yi Xiaoqiu's whole body was already drenched in sweat. After drinking half a pot of water, she couldn't hold it anymore.
"I need to go to the bathroom. Song Zhiqing, are you available?"
Song Ying shook her head. "I just came here. You can do it yourself. It's best to stay away from it."
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded, took off his gloves, and went straight into the depths of the wheat field.
After a long wait, until no one was visible, he squatted down near Group 4.
After Yi Xiaoqiu had taken care of his physiological needs, he looked up and saw a girl squatting in the wheat field of Group 4 not far away.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked closely and saw that it was Shen Ruofei.
Yi Xiaoqiu thought that everyone came for the same purpose. Just as he was about to pull up his pants and leave, he saw Shen Ruofei take out an ice cream from somewhere.
Yi Xiaoqiu’s eyes almost popped out!
Even from such a distance, Yi Xiaoqiu, with a vision of 5.2, managed to see the series of letters on the ice cream wrapper.
It turns out that a certain country has produced such expensive and famously delicious ice cream!
Oh my god! What kind of magical golden finger is this from Shen Ruofei?
There's even ice cream to eat!
Yi Xiaoqiu swallowed and felt even hotter. She looked at Shen Ruofei eating ice cream with a look of enjoyment and felt jealous.
Why?
Why is it that everyone is traveling through a book, and everyone has a golden finger?
She died tragically three times in a row before her luck turned and she was bound to the system.
Yi Xiaoqiu was not jealous or envious, she just deeply felt the bitterness of being a background cannon fodder.
She sucked her saliva, stood up silently and left.
I can't look at her anymore. If I look at her again, she will not be able to help but run past me, and then it will be difficult to explain.
If Shen Ruofei couldn't explain it clearly, she would be embarrassed.
If she explained it clearly, Yi Xiaoqiu would not be able to explain it clearly.
Forget it, just leave quietly. It’s better for everyone.
The sun was scorching, and the members of the Mai Di team were working hard.
Yi Xiaoqiu was completely exhausted. Every time she drank water, she would unconsciously think of the ice cream that Shen Ruofei had eaten, and her mouth would keep drooling.
Song Ying noticed that Yi Xiaoqiu had not been working efficiently since he came back from the toilet, like a frost-bitten eggplant.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yi Xiaoqiu shook his head and said, "No, it's just too hot."
"It's really hot today. Drink more water and don't get heatstroke." After saying this, Song Ying went back to harvesting wheat.
The wheat field that Group Three was responsible for was several hundred meters long, enough for her to run.
Something flashed through Yi Xiaoqiu's mind quickly, but he couldn't grasp anything.
Over at the bullpen.
Old Chen and his wife, Mrs. Meng, had finished cleaning the cowshed and pigpen early this morning. Before they could even catch their breath, they were urged to cut grass again.
The three cows and two pigs they are responsible for eat a lot of grass every day, especially during the busy farming season when the cows pull wheat all day long. The grass consumed by the three cows alone is enough to keep two people busy.
"Old Chen! Let's take a break in the middle of the day!" Mrs. Meng wiped the sweat from her face.
It was so hot, if the child from the Ji family hadn't got some food and let them have a full meal for a few days, they would probably have collapsed long ago.
Holding a chipped hatchet, Old Chen shook his head. "The company is harvesting the summer harvest, and the oxen have been pulling the carts all day without a break. We have to keep them well-fed. The team leader has entrusted the oxen to us, and we can't let them starve."
"Oh! You are just stubborn!" Mrs. Meng shook her head and poured him a bowl of water.
Old Chen straightened up and took the bowl. "It's hot, go back and rest for a while. I'll make dinner later!"
Mr. Chen took a sip of water and was about to put the bowl down when he suddenly fell backwards.
"Old Chen! What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Meng held him up, but Old Chen had his eyes closed and had fainted.
"Old Chen, wake up!" Mrs. Meng was extremely anxious when she saw that he was unconscious. After struggling for a long time, she finally carried him back to the cowshed.
She fed him water and wiped his body to cool him down. After all this busy work, he finally opened his eyes, but he didn't have the strength to get up.
Mr. Chen has heatstroke.
There was no medicine in the cowshed, so people had to endure the illness. He lay on the wooden bed with a pale face, cracked lips, and was dying.
Mrs. Meng sat by the bed, wiping her tears, and finally she mustered up the energy to cook rice porridge for her lover.
They were reluctant to eat the 20 kilograms of rice and kept it hidden under the bed.
She grabbed a handful of rice, then gritted her teeth and grabbed another half handful of rice. She was reluctant to wash it, so she just added water and put it in the pot to cook.
I had to cook porridge in secret, for fear that the people from the cowshed next door would smell the food and come over.
Yi Xiaoqiu just felt that this day was particularly difficult.
As the afterglow shone on the earth, team leader Yao Zhiguo gathered the last handful of wheat and shouted, "Time to get off work!"
Only then did Yi Xiaoqiu feel that he was alive again.
Finally, it was time to get off work. She stretched, picked up the last two bundles of wheat, and carried them over to the ox cart parked at the edge of the field.
Behind him, Song Ying caught a wild rabbit from somewhere, and Yi Xiaoqiu felt like she was going to become jealous.
"Shall I take it to your place to cook later?" Song Ying lifted the rabbit and smiled brightly.
"僢!" As long as there was meat to eat, how could Yi Xiaoqiu refuse?
The members of Group 3 followed the ox cart back to the company. Before they reached the threshing ground, a group of children ran over and shouted to Old Man Liu who was driving the cart.
"Grandpa Liu, you don't have to send the cows to the cowshed today. We'll herd them!"
Old Man Liu frowned and asked, "Why should I let you herd cattle in the afternoon?"
"It was arranged by the team leader. I heard that the old man living in the cowshed had heatstroke!" A bald boy answered crisply.
"Come on! You have to feed the cows! The old man has been running all day!" Old man Liu said with concern.
Several children followed the ox cart towards the threshing ground. "Let's take it to the back hill to feed the cows. We must make sure they have enough to eat!"
Yi Xiaoqiu and his father heard it all from behind. Someone in the cowshed had heatstroke. Could it be Old Chen?
Yi Xiaoqiu was a little worried. No matter whether it was Mr. Chen or not, she had to go and see. After all, she had promised him something and she couldn't go back on her word.
