Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path Chapter 299: Who Marries Whom Enjoys Happiness

After that, Yang Yunhai didn’t appear for quite so ti, and Gu Lingling also followed his advice, either studying at ho or going to work with Gu Chunhai every day.

Gu Chunhai felt sorry for his daughter and mostly wouldn’t let her go, but he couldn’t resist Gu Lingling’s insistence on going. This year, their family’s work points were still quite short.

In the blink of an eye, it was July. The weather had been good this year, and the wheat fields were a sea of golden yellow.

The old village chief strolled around the fields of Nanshui Village every day with his hands behind his back, his face beaming with a broad smile.

The harvest was good, which ant the villagers wouldn’t go hungry.

Their village’s proximity to the city ant they were better off, as he knew so less fortunate areas that, after a year of hard work, harvested very little grain, leaving the entire village hungry.

Cases of people starving to death weren’t unheard of.

The sun had been quite generous these days, and when the ears of wheat drooped, it was ti to start harvesting.

With a command from Gu Tongzhou, the villagers of Nanshui Village began the vigorous busy farming season.

They cut the wheat, bundled it, and hauled the bundled wheat to the village square to dry. After two days of sun, they could use the commune’s tractor to thresh the wheat.

This ti was when Gu Chunhai, who could drive, was the busiest.

He would drive from one place to another, threshing the wheat without even having ti to take a sip of water at tis.

There was always the fear that rain would suddenly pour before the wheat was threshed, which would be disastrous.

Additionally, Gu Chunhai had the skill of repairing vehicles. The commune’s tractor was like a precious treasure, but sotis this treasure would often break down at critical monts.

Gu Chunhai could always pinpoint the problem quickly without causing any major delays.

As a result, around this ti, village chiefs from other villages in the commune would co to Gu Tongzhou, asking if they could borrow their tractor expert, Gu Chunhai.

When Gu Chunhai went to help other villages, a few capable people from those villages would co over to help the Gu Family with their work.

Evenings were almost like the children’s realm. While the adults rushed to thresh the wheat, the children played nearby, chasing fireflies, and it was truly delightful.

When Yang Yunhai passed by the village square of Nanshui Village, he saw Gu Lingling leading a group of children playing with a few girls her age from the village.

Tonight’s tasks were finished early, so they didn’t need to join the adults in sorting the wheat.

"We caught a lot of cicadas, Sister Lingling. Can you make those cicadas we ate last ti?" A little kid proudly swung a jar of sothing in front of Gu Lingling and the others.

The jar was full of cicadas that he and the village children dug up all over the fields, cicadas that hadn’t yet transford into their mature form.

"Sure, no problem," Gu Lingling smiled, ruffling his little buzz-cut head. "But do you still rember the big words and math problems I taught you yesterday? If you don’t, there won’t be anything to eat."

"We all rember! If you don’t believe us, test us, Sister Lingling," the little kids quickly found a stick and, under the moonlight and the dim bulb on the village square, eagerly looked at Gu Lingling.

"Alright." Gu Lingling smiled, squatting down to give them questions, and the little kids earnestly scribbled in the dirt.

"Lingling is such a good girl," a woman said to another beside her, "Er Dan in our family is much more obedient now, even helping with work at ho."

"Yes, our Gou Sheng too, even said to , ’Mom, you work hard.’" The other woman wiped a tear as she said this. "It’s the first ti ever he said that to ."

"If it weren’t for Lingling, these little rascals wouldn’t know how to behave."

"Whoever marries Lingling will surely have a good life."

Yang Yunhai chuckled softly, but soon found it difficult to keep smiling.
