Today’s pace is just as fast as yesterday’s; no one is complaining of being sore here and there because of yesterday’s hard work.
In fact, the educated youth are all gritting their teeth and working. Although it’s uncomfortable and tiring, it’s still manageable. So even the two new female educated youth go out to work diligently.
The main thing is seeing the delicate Wang nglin and Tao YanZhen persist in working; they really don’t have the courage to ask for leave.
Li Yunqiao looked at the enthusiasm for work in his own village, feeling happy; it’s sothing Jin Family Village can’t compare to at all.
Today, work began an hour earlier than usual; only one woman from each family went ho to cook at noon, then brought the al over, so no one went ho.
However, the Wei Family was different; they went ho after work.
Wei Kaiyun happened to see Li Yunqiao, "Vice Mayor Li, want to have lunch at my house?"
"Alright, I have so things to discuss with you."
There were guests at ho, but everyone knew each other, so there was no unfamiliar feeling.
The Wei Family had rice porridge and at buns today.
The n had one table, and the won and children had another.
Jiang Xinyu just ate so cold noodles, mixed with shredded kelp, and so mixed cucumber. She only ate half a bowl of porridge and didn’t want to eat any at buns at all.
Wei Kaiyun kept watching her, "Xinyu, if you don’t eat the at buns, at least have half a stead bun."
Jiang Xinyu couldn’t resist the worried look in his eyes, so she reluctantly ate half a stead bun, then went to rest on the side. There wasn’t even enough ti to bathe and change clothes; she certainly wouldn’t get on the kang so dirty. So, she’d rather be a bit tired to stay clean.
"Xiao Wei, Old Yang, let Guodong drive us ho on Sunday evening.
On Sunday, Hong Lin and his wife will co, let them help at ho for a day."
The two certainly had no objections. They would even drive there themselves if needed.
After lunch, Jiang Xinyu let the three children and Monk Master take a nap; she and a few others went to work together.
The three siblings of Wang nglin had prepared lunch in the morning, so Tao Chunhe just needed to fetch it at noon.
"Teacher Jiang, I’ve rested enough. Aren’t you tired?"
"Tired, yes, but with kids at ho, I can’t feel easy, so I tire myself a bit."
"Teacher Jiang, do all won beco like this after marrying and having kids?"
"Yes, they prioritize the man and the children."
Tao Chunhe lay on the corn stalks, watching Jiang Xinyu against the light, suddenly felt his heart racing, touching his heart, he kept staring at her.
Looking up at Jiang Xinyu from below, this woman attracted him.
Watching his cousin stand up, his cousin looked very attractive.
On Jiang Xinyu’s left was ng Lin, and on her right was Lv Jingchu; she didn’t pale in comparison between two beautiful won at all.
Tao Chunhe closed his eyes, wondering how he could feel this way; she had a husband and children.
But then he looked again, watching the talking and laughing woman; she just had a pull on him.
At this mont, Wei Kaiyun ca over. "Xinyu, drink so water, it’s nearly ti to start work; I filled your thermos with sweet and sour water. Don’t tire yourself too much."
"Got it, you too."
Wei Kaiyun smiled indulgently, then unemotionally glanced at Tao Chunhe.
Ha, really sensitive. Is he here to claim his territory?
He’s just feeling a spark, and doesn’t intend to disrupt their family; he wouldn’t stoop that low anyway.
In the evening, after dinner at his brother’s house, Li Yunqiao was driven back to Jin Family Village by Guodong.
"Are you tired?"
"Dad, I’m okay. Already used to it."
"I see you helping Xue?"
"Isn’t that just expected?"
"Right, it is; a man should take care of his woman," Li Yunqiao grew increasingly satisfied with Guodong, seeing he wasn’t conniving.
He hoped Guodong would always treat his daughter this way; his daughter seed quite fortunate now.
Arriving at Jin Family Village, Guodong didn’t get out of the car. "Pick up tomorrow morning at five o’clock."
"Okay, Dad."
Li Yunqiao entered the Lu Family’s house, where everyone was having dinner, greeted everyone with a word.
"Old Li, did you eat?" Lu Fengzhen, holding Zhibin, ca over to ask.
"Yes, give Zhibin to , you go eat."
"How did you get back?" Lu Fengzhen handed Zhibin to Li Yunqiao.
"Guodong drove back; he’ll pick up tomorrow morning. Are you tired? I can take Zhibin back."
"No need, Hongpeng is quite well-behaved; we’re not tired with Zhibin."
Instead of eating, Lu Fengzhen fetched water for Li Yunqiao.
"I don’t need it. I already washed up at Yun Gui’s place; go eat your al. I’ll go check on Hongpeng."
The family watched the loving affection between the couple, marveling at how lucky the younger siblings’ sister-in-law’s life seed.
They were indeed happy; it’s often said that second marriages are hard to manage, yet seeing them, they seed more loving than first marriages.
Li Yunqiao went inside, seeing his son was sleeping; the little chubby one was adorable to behold.
Zhibin wanted to reach for Hongpeng. Li Yunqiao didn’t dare, letting the little one sleep.
He ca out holding Zhibin, sitting aside.
"Yunqiao, your village must be quick with the autumn harvest, right?"
"Yes, half done already; tomorrow two tractors will start sowing."
"Wow, how so fast?"
"Small land area."
"I heard your village planted 200 acres less corn than ours."
Li Yunqiao couldn’t confirm no slacking, "The corn harvested was quickly transported to the threshing ground, including the stalks, freeing up the land."
"Right, tractors are indeed great; many plan to buy another one this year."
"They should; with lots of land, they should prepare more."
"It seems Shulin wants to use the planting machines from your village to sow more wheat."
"If conditions allow, it’s great; after all, it yields two season’s harvest."
One evening, Lu Fengzhen massaged Li Yunqiao, "Don’t push yourself."
"I didn’t realize it; just kept working following others, didn’t feel the fatigue."
"Consider your age?"
"Age? I can still satisfy you now."
"Get lost, behave."
Li Yunqiao indeed felt so fatigue; though he spoke bravely, he was honestly tired. A man can never admit he’s unable anymore.
The next day, Guodong set out at 4:30. Jiang Xinyu sighed, "Having sons is nothing like having daughters; look how he listens to his father-in-law."
"Jealous?"
"What’s there to be jealous of? Just thinking out loud; we’ll have two in the future, not enough ti to get jealous."
I say, sons are born for others, daughters are our own."
"Got it backward?"
"No. Just wait and see. Anyway, sons are definitely not as good as daughters."
