Ever since the village chief shouted on the loudspeaker, groups of people flocked to the stone courtyard after dinner.

The yard became unprecedentedly lively.

Those who are engaged in the leasing of complete machines will go to Yan Jie to discuss matters, those who are engaged in the purchase of bricks, stones and gravel will go to Shen Yingyu to ask for money, those who are engaged in the carpentry of making their own fences will go to Yu Xiangwan to change the design draft, those who are engaged in the laying of water pipes and electric circuits will go to Xie Wanyi to ask for plans, and those who are engaged in garden planting will go to Jiang Hexi to assign tasks.

Chu Yang and Liu Yuxi were left to take charge of the work in the chicken farm, fields and pond.

Jiang Hexi sent the village officials away and returned to the yard, where he caught sight of Heiwa peeking out from the crowd.

She went back to the house and got a piece of chocolate. She raised her hand to call Heiwa over and put the chocolate in his hand.

"Thank you, Sister Jiang." Heiwa held the chocolate in his hand tightly and smiled with his white teeth.

"What are you doing here?"

"My grandma asked me to come over and see how much the workers here pay per day."

As soon as Jiang Hexi heard it, he knew what Grandma Xiang was planning.

"This recruitment does not pay."

"Sister Jiang, why would so many people come here to work without being paid?" Heiwa opened his eyes wide in confusion.

Jiang Hexi was stumped by this question.

It was difficult for her to explain to a seven-year-old boy why Professor Luo and his wife stayed at the Sanxi Lake for twelve years to manage the ecological environment.

She couldn't explain why the villagers were so enthusiastic about participating in the transformation of the ecological wetland park. The village committee paid the money and the villagers contributed the manpower. Everyone was working hard to make the village's tourism industry bigger and stronger.

"Heiwa, are your parents still working outside the city?"

"Yes, I left after the Chinese New Year. Grandma said she wouldn't be back until New Year's Eve."

"Do you want your parents to stay at home with you?"

"Yes, I think about it even in my dreams."

Jiang Hexi looked at Heiwa with a firm and powerful look:

"If you build this ecological wetland park, your parents can start a business near your home and accompany you. This is why the villagers come here to work even if they don't ask for money."

Heiwa grinned, his smile was exceptionally bright.

[Ximei is super gentle and warm-hearted. I love her so much. ]

[I didn't expect her to explain it to a child like this. It's concise, clear and powerful. Most people would never say such words.]

After Jiang Hexi sent Heiwa away, he pulled out a chair and sat next to Yan Jie to listen to their discussion.

Li Youtian brought Lu Jiu to find her.

"Sister Xi, the village chief said you have something to talk to us about?"

"Uncle Arita, we are going to build a Monet Garden by Sanxi Lake. We will plant many flowers and plants there. I want you and Brother Lu Jiu to learn the flower-growing skills from the boss who sells flowers."

Jiang Hexi turned his back to the camera and spoke to them in a low voice about how to learn skills from others.

Liu Yuxi carried a pot of boiling water and walked between the two of them.

She picked up the glass and poured water into it. Perhaps the water was too hot and too full for her left hand to bear it. She hurriedly put down the kettle and immediately used her right hand to receive the glass of water.

As a result, her injured palm was burned and she cried out in pain.

Jiang Hexi looked over in the direction of the sound, and at the critical moment, Yan Jie suddenly raised his hand to protect Liu Yuxi's mouth.

Liu Yuxi panicked and dropped the cup of boiling water, which splashed towards Jiang Hexi!

With a "bang", the cup fell to the ground, and all the boiling water poured onto Jiang Hexi's legs.

She didn't have time to dodge, and her thighs began to burn.

Li Youtian subconsciously reached out to block the glass of water, but unfortunately he was a step too late and he didn't block anything.

"Xibao——"

"What's wrong with you? How dare you pour boiling water on Ximei!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Yan Jie let go of Liu Yuxi, overturned the chair and rushed in front of Jiang Hexi. He was so shocked that his voice changed:

"Where did you get burned? Let me see how badly you're hurt."

Jiang Hexi firmly stopped his hand and said coldly, "Don't touch me."

"I'll take you inside and take a cold shower."

Yan Jie pretended to pick her up by bending her knees. The moment he stood up, he saw that she was trembling with pain. He quickly put her down, rolled up his trouser legs to check her injuries. He saw that all the blisters on her knees caused by the burns had been rubbed off, leaving bloody erosions.

"I'm sorry I hurt you."

"Wanwan——"

Jiang Hexi was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes. She pushed Yan Jie away with all her strength and shouted to Yu Xiangwan, "Help me upstairs to change the dressing."

"Prince Yan, go find a bottle of burn ointment. This burn is nothing to Ximei."

Yu Xiangwan resolved the awkward situation and helped Jiang Hexi walk into the house.

Li Youtian couldn't swallow this breath, and cursed at Yan Jie on the spot:

"Even if you want to protect Liu Yuxi, you can't pour the boiling water on other places. Don't you see Ximei sitting here?"

Yan Jie ignored the scolding behind him. He rushed out of the yard and went to the program crew to get medicine.

Liu Yuxi cried out in remorse, "Uncle Li, I didn't hold the cup firmly. This is not the fault of Prince Yan. Everyone has their own responsibility. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Li Youtian looked at her fiercely, then turned and walked out the door.

Lu Jiu asked, "Uncle, where are you going?"

Li Youtian said without even turning his head: "I get annoyed when I see these people. I'm going to go find some herbs for Ximei."

Lu Jiuli followed closely.

[The hearts of fans of Yan Xi CP are about to be broken. How could Yan Wang be like this? He would not care about Xi Mei's life or death for Liu Yuxi? ]

[This subconscious reaction is the most real. Between Ximei and Xixi, Yan Wang firmly chose Xixi! ]

[Xixi and Yan Wang are definitely going in both directions. It is unjust that Yan Yu CP is not together. ]

[Yan Wang was badly tricked by Liu Yuxi this time. He definitely didn't see Xi Mei sitting next to him, otherwise he wouldn't have ignored Xi Mei, and he wouldn't have called her "Xi Bao" with such a broken heart! ]

[Just looking at the King of Faces’ reaction afterwards, you can tell who he cares about the most. Someone’s fans are still licking his boots and cleaning the floor. How shameless. ]

Second floor room.

Yu Xiangwan held a cotton swab in her hand and applied the burn ointment evenly on Jiang Hexi's legs.

She blew air onto the burned skin and said:

"Sister Xi, does it hurt?"

"My heart hurts." Jiang Hexi said with red eyes.

"If it were me, I would never forgive him."

Yu Xiangwan patted her head soothingly, "Don't be sad. It's not worth it to hurt your body and be sad for such a person."

Jiang Hexi lifted her thigh up and urged her, "Wanwan, apply the medicine quickly. My leg hurts so badly."

Yu Xiangwan continued to apply burn ointment on her wound:

"How does it feel when you apply this medicine?"

"It's so cool, the pain will go away in no time."

"This medicine was brought by Yan Wang from the program crew."

Jiang Hexi angrily changed the topic and said, "The effect of this medicine lasts for a while, and it will hurt again after it passes."

Yu Xiangwan motioned her to look at the jar of smashed herbs on the bedside table and asked her:

"Lu Jiu and Li Youtian specially made some herbs for you. How about trying one?"

Jiang Hexi thanked them from the bottom of her heart for their kindness, but she was afraid that the wound would get infected, so she declined, saying, "Wait a minute, wait until the wound heals."

After Yu Xiangwan applied the medicine to her, she said something extra:

"Prince Yan is waiting at the door. Do you want to see him?"
