Embarrassed, he denied it: "No, I didn't. I was just checking whether the ones I planted were up to standard."
"Besides, Xia Tian and I help each other. Not only does he help me plant, I also help him!"
Chen Qingqing said disdainfully, "Yes, yes, yes! He helps you plant half of the trees in the summer, and you help him plant one occasionally. This can also be considered mutual help."
Qiu Mengyun said arrogantly: "Humph! Xia Tian helped me, so what? I was just lazy, so what?"
"Anyway, I'm not behind in my progress, and I'm not holding you back."
"Are you envious? There's no point in being envious. Who made me have such a capable boyfriend, and you don't?"
"Ahhh! Qiu Mengyun, you are bullying me." Qiu Mengyun's words directly broke Chen Qingqing's defense.
Qiu Mengyun laughed and said, "Haha! Don't slander me. I didn't bully anyone. At most, I bullied a dog, a poor single dog."
"You dare to say that? Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you." Chen Qingqing ran towards Qiu Mengyun angrily.
"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Qiu Mengyun rushed forward without giving in, and the two soon started fighting.
Regarding this scene, none of Xia Tian and the other two stepped forward to help. They all stood aside happily watching the fun.
After playing around for a while, Qiu Mengyun and Chen Qingqing both returned to the field to rest with dirty faces.
Although the work was tiring, it was not too difficult as they chatted while working.
Soon it was half past ten in the morning. Xia Tian glanced at his watch and clapped his hands, saying, "Alright! Everyone, stop working. Let's call it a day this morning!"
Qiu Mengyun asked doubtfully, "It's not even noon yet, are you going back so early?"
Chen Qingqing also agreed: "The weather today is not particularly hot, why don't we work for a while longer?"
Xia Tian shook his head: "Almost. Everyone is not too tired yet, so now is a good time to go back."
"If I really wait until I'm too tired and hungry to move, then my cooking will be affected when I get home."
"Besides, this is your first time doing this, and you're not feeling tired because you're so excited. Actually, your bodies are already very tired. If you keep going, you'll be exhausted and no one will work in the afternoon."
"Let's go back now and rest for half an hour. Then we can prepare lunch together. It's just the right amount of time."
After hearing Xia Tian's words, everyone began to feel soreness in their arms, legs, and waist.
So no one objected anymore and everyone walked outside obediently.
As soon as they reached the edge of the field, they saw Lin Wanqing and Chen Qingyu running over with seedlings.
"Xia Tian, why are you guys out? Are you leaving?"
Seeing Xia Tian, Lin Wanqing immediately came over to say hello.
Xia Tian said without looking away: "Yeah!"
Lin Wanqing: "Why did you leave so early? We just arrived and were planning to ask you how to plant rice."
Xia Tian sneered, "It's still early? Don't you see what time it is? It's obvious that you came too late."
Chen Qingqing said impatiently: "Okay, if you need to work, go and do it quickly. We still have to go back and cook."
Lin Wanqing: "Don't be impatient, teach us how to do it first before you go!"
"If you guys leave and leave us two here, we won't know what to do!"
Xia Tian said in a cold tone: "I'm busy. If you want to learn, wait until we come back in the afternoon!"
Lin Wanqing said pitifully, "Xia Tian, please help us. If you don't help us, we've really come here for nothing."
"Didn't we agree yesterday that if we have any questions, we can come to you for help?"
Xia Tian was originally prepared to refuse directly, but He Yunting spoke up.
"Along, please demonstrate it to Miss Lin and the others!"
Hearing her speak, Xia Tian obediently shut his mouth.
As long as he is not asked to teach in person, he won’t mind waiting for a while.
Xie Jinglong nodded: "Okay, because of time constraints, I will only teach you twice, so you better watch carefully!"
"If you can't learn it, then we can only wait until we come back after dinner and continue asking."
He did not fool around or deliberately play a prank on anyone. He seriously taught the rice planting skills he had just learned from Xia Tian.
After teaching, he turned around and left without caring whether the two had learned it or not.
On the way back, Qiu Mengyun asked in confusion, "Sister Ting, why are you so easy to talk to today? You even took the initiative to let Brother Long teach them?"
He Yunting smiled and said, "I'm just afraid of trouble. After all, this matter will happen sooner or later."
"If we don't teach them now, they will definitely continue to pester us in the afternoon."
"Now we can still use the excuse of waiting to go back to cook and being short on time to chase them away. But if they come back after lunch in the afternoon, it will be difficult to chase them away."
Chen Qingqing gave a thumbs up in admiration: "As expected of Sister Yunting, you are so thoughtful."
He Yunting smiled and said, "Okay, stop flattering me. If you have time for that, you might as well flatter Xia Tian more. Maybe if he's happy, he'll even help you with some work during the afternoon work."
Chen Qingqing curled her lips: "Forget it, I dare not. If Xia Tian doesn't help me with the work, then I can still stay here."
"If he really helps me with the work, then Mengyun will eat me, right?"
Qiu Mengyun: "Humph! I'm not that stingy."
