The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. The villagers do not go off work at noon, and even the children in school have a longer lunch break, for fear of getting heatstroke.

These days, Xu's father organized the villagers to get up at four in the morning every day, work until ten o'clock and then go back home, and come out to harvest wheat again in the evening after the sun goes down.

Reaping wheat requires skill, and the nights of those days are very bright. Walking on the road is like having your own night light, it is extremely bright.

Xu Jiaojiao ran back home and took a closer look. Xie Zhi was chopping wood in the yard. His lean waist looked very strong.

The white Adam's apple dripped with sweat from under his face, making him particularly charming.

The girl finally understood why girls of this era like capable men.

Xie Yi chopped the last piece of firewood with his axe. It must be said that this man was really able to endure hardships. He used to live the life of a rich young master, but now he was content with the simple country life.

Xie Zhi narrowed his eyes and interrupted the girl's reverie: "Jiaojiao, it's hot outside, go in and get some fan."

"good."

As soon as Xu Jiaojiao entered, a piece of watermelon chilled with well water was stuffed into her hand. The bright red flesh of the watermelon tasted especially like watermelon when she took a bite.

It was much better than the watermelon in the future that only looked good but had no taste. Xu Ze pointed the fan at his sister and raised his eyebrows to look at the water around her waist.

"Dad, did you drink the water Jiaojiao brought?"

Father Xu saw his daughter's helpless expression and laughed heartily: "I drank it. Jiaojiao gave me water. It tastes sweet."

Xu Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly. She was so engrossed in watching the fun that she forgot about the incident.

Yan Fenglian's job was the easiest in the family. She came home early every day to cook, and several people helped bring the dishes to the table, and then they started eating.

After Xu Jiaojiao finished eating, she returned to her room. Xie Zhi went to wash some black mulberries for the girl, which he had picked when he came back at noon.

It was dark purple with small green leaves on it, and tasted sweet. The girl was lying on the bed with the fan in front of her, listening to the radio happily. Her mouth was purple and she looked very funny.

“Sweet?”

“Sweet.”

Xie Zhi smiled and moved closer, grabbing the girl's hand that was reaching for the plate: "Which is sweeter, it or me?"

Xu Jiaojiao blushed and gave him a kiss: "You are still the sweetest."

Xie Zhi smiled even more happily when he heard that. He put his big hands around the girl's neck and deepened the sweet kiss.

The words that flowed out of his lips were particularly tempting, making people unconsciously let down their guard: "Little liar, where did you go at noon?"

"I went to see Sheng Jie making a fool of himself. He looked so miserable." Xu Jiaojiao murmured, obviously feeling dizzy from the kiss.

While Xie Yi was trying hard, he kept looking at the girl's expression with his narrow eyes. After looking at her carefully, and making sure that she had no other thoughts about Sheng Jie, he finally felt relieved.

He picked up a mulberry and put it in his mouth, then fed it to the girl: "So good."

After making the person dazed, Xie Zhi went outside to fetch a basin of water, and then put two buckets of water in the sun to dry, and covered them with a thin towel to prevent insects from entering.

After wiping the purple and black marks on the girl's hands and mouth, he hugged the girl and fell asleep. Afraid that she would feel hot, he burned some mugwort and fanned her slowly with a cattail leaf fan.

Xu Jiaojiao had messy hair, but she slept comfortably even in the hot summer.

Xie Zhi was drowsy but his hands did not stop moving. He took a nap and continued fanning.

When Xu Jiaojiao woke up hugging the man's arm, he was still fanning himself. She was used to it, so she hugged him and kissed him skillfully, then began to daydream.

I sighed deeply. I was so bored. I didn't want to go to work. It was so hot outside, but I didn't even have a cell phone. I didn't know what to do.

Xie Zhi asked: "So."

"I'm so bored, I wish I had TV to watch."

"Yes, everything will be there."

At 2:30, Xie Zhi went to school for class. It must be said that he was definitely the most promising among the educated youth. Most villagers respected intellectuals, let alone teachers.

The afternoon sun could not reach the front door, but instead shone on the wall at the back of the house. The girl squatted at the door and began to pick her earrings out of boredom.

Use a long piece of grass, pull out the core in the middle, and pinch it into small sections, and it will become a chain-like earring.

She made herself a necklace and a bracelet using the same method, and last night she started braiding the grass, having a lot of fun, and it was a rare moment of returning to her childhood in the countryside.

"Jiaojiao, you're back."

Xu Jiaojiao looked up when she heard the familiar voice: "Yangmei, why are you here?"

"These are some of the peppers my mother just dried and sent to you. Jiaojiao, do you want to go to the back mountain to pick some fruit? Mulberries and apricots are delicious." Yangmei said shyly, as if she felt that these were a little embarrassing to show off.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't mind this, she stood up and took the peppers over: "Thank you, I'll go, wait for me."

After saying that, she took it into the house. She was really bored and just wanted to kill some time. Now the only person in the village who could talk to her was Yangmei.

Xu Jiaojiao was wearing a tank top with lotus edges and flower buds today, and a pair of shorts underneath. She looked pure and pretty, and stood out in the crowd.

The girl took the small basket her father had woven and carried her own cross-body bag, which contained some food.

He grabbed a handful of candy from the drawer and stuffed it into Yangmei's hands: "Thank you for the chili sauce. Here's the candy." Then he walked forward.

The girl's skin was dazzlingly white under the sunlight, like a fairy from the sky.

Yang Mei looked at the colorful candies in her hand, including square, round, and star-shaped ones: "How generous! You just give them to people casually."

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and waved at her, looking coquettish: "Come on, Yangmei, let's go to the stream to play in the water."

It was very cool by the stream in the afternoon. Xu Jiaojiao filled her basket and thought about going back to ask her brother to freeze her in the well water. She soaked her white feet in the water and played in the water happily.

"Yangmei, why don't you play in the water?"

"I'm having my period."

Xu Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and smiled innocently: "Oh, then we can't play in the water anymore."

It’s so nice not to have the torture of menstruation. I can eat anything cold whenever I want. It’s so refreshing and my stomach doesn’t hurt.

Yang Mei thought for a long time and finally said, "Jiao Jiao, can you lend me five dollars?"

She looked extremely worried. They were not very familiar with each other, so it was understandable if Xu Jiaojiao was unwilling.

The girl smiled, took out some change from the small pocket beside her, counted out a few and handed them over: "Is that enough?"

Yang Mei looked at her in surprise; all the excuses she had prepared were useless.

Five dollars is a large sum of money, and it is considered a lot to borrow among girls, after all, most of their peers don’t even have money.

.........

Xu Jiaojiao was pressed heavily on Xie Zhi's thighs, with her upper body crawling on his body and her lower body completely exposed on his legs.

The man's eyes were filled with anger as he slapped the girl hard several times. The pain caused tears to well up in the girl's eyes instantly. At this moment, he completely transformed into the most severe punishment officer.

She struggled and cried, "Why did you hit me? Let me go... wuwu."

Xie Zhi's thick black eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and the anger in his heart became even stronger. He rubbed his hands a few times and slapped him a few more times.

I laughed angrily: "Still being stubborn."

The girl's struggle and crying had no effect on him at all, and he easily subdued all her struggles.

"Hubby... stop hitting me... it hurts... please give me some pain, it hurts so much."
