Jiang Shuyun would always accompany Mu Yi'an; she would do the work, and he would recite his lessons or learn to do things together.
Jiang Shuhe didn't understand any of this. He followed Mu Yi'an's instructions and led the oxcart up the mountain to collect soil rich in humus.
The wheat harvest is over, and Uncle Jiang and the others are starting to flood the fields in preparation for planting rice. The rice seeds were saved from last year at Mu Yi'an's request; the specific results are still unknown, but the rice seedlings grown this year are doing well.
