In the afternoon, Su Yunyun took some mung beans from the space and soaked them in water. Then she boiled a pot of mung bean soup, added two drops of white medicinal spring water into the soup, and then put the mung bean soup into the well to cool it down. She tasted it and felt that it was sweeter than the mung bean soup she had drunk before, and some of the fatigue in her body was slowly disappearing.

She saw the children who were too young to work in the fields running around and sweating, so she quickly arranged for them to drink mung bean soup to cool down. After drinking it, the children were still not satisfied and felt that the heat in their bodies disappeared without a trace, but they could not describe it. They just said that the mung bean soup cooked by aunt was the best! She was praised so much that her face turned red.

Su Yunyun verified that adding white medicinal spring water was very effective in relieving fatigue, and that the medicinal properties of mung beans could further relieve heat, so she hurriedly took a large can of mung bean soup to the field to deliver to her family.

Su Yunyun was seen walking in the golden wheat waves in a white ankle-length dress with two pigtails hanging in front of her chest. Her fair, round face was inlaid with eyes that sparkled like gems and her plump, pink lips were smiling. The villagers who saw her felt that Su Yunyun had become very quiet and gentle, not as spoiled, willful and unreasonable as before.

"Mom and Dad, come and have some water!" Su Yunyun shouted loudly when she saw her family.

When Su's mother looked up and saw that it was her daughter, she called her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren to come over quickly. Tian Fang was in a hurry to get work points, so she was far away and didn't hear anything.

After Su's father and mother drank a bowl of sweet mung bean soup, their fatigue disappeared in a short while, and they felt refreshed. The other adults and children of the Su family drank it and shouted that it was so delicious, and that the soup made by the little sister/aunt was better than anyone else's. The surrounding villagers became even thirstier after hearing this. They licked their cracked lips and wondered why the water for their own family had not been delivered yet. They were just a bunch of bastards who didn't care about others!

Mother Su looked at Su Yunyun's fair cheeks flushed by the heat wave, and her face covered with fine beads of sweat. She was distressed and choked: "Look at how filial my daughter is. She rushed to send drinks to her family before she was well. She didn't care about her health at all. You have to love your younger sister and your younger sister-in-law more. Ah, did you hear me?"

Su An rushed to reply: "Mom, you don't need to tell me this. My little sister is in my heart. Who else should I love if not her?" Su Ping, Li Yue and Wang Yue nodded in agreement.

The Su family's son and daughter-in-law took a look at the water and felt that it was so refreshing that they would be sorry for their younger sister's hard work in bringing them water if they didn't drink more, so they hurriedly poured another bowl.

"Grandma, we love our aunt too. Hey, Dad, please leave some for me..." The children also rushed to express their opinions, but when they saw the adults pouring mung bean soup, they were afraid that it would be finished, so they started to cry.

"Don't worry, there's still a lot in there." Su Yunyun gently comforted the children, and then filled their cups one by one. Then there were only two bowls left in the earthen jar. At this time, Tian Fang, who was far away, rushed over after being reminded by other villagers.

"Little sister, why didn't you call me? I'm almost dying of thirst. You're so ungrateful." Tian Fang snatched the bowl from Su Ping's daughter Su Hao's hand and drank up most of the remaining half of the bowl. Then she handed the bowl over, "It's delicious. Give me another bowl, quickly!"

Tears slowly accumulated in Su Hao's eyes and rolled down, "Aunt, Third Aunt stole my mung bean soup..."

"Third son's wife, you are so unreasonable. You are grabbing the children's, why don't you grab your son Aiguo's? You caught Su Hao and grabbed her. She owes you." Su's mother looked at Tian Fang like a robber with disgust and snatched the bowl away. "You have already drunk a bowl, hurry up and harvest the wheat!"

Tian Fang felt that as a mother she couldn't bring herself to snatch her son's drink. Besides, her son had been picking wheat ears in the fields to earn work points at the age of five. He was too hard-working and sensible. He had to drink two more bowls!

But what's wrong with drinking someone else's, especially a girl's! The sweet taste she just tasted and the comfort brought by the disappearance of fatigue made her lick her lips and smile to please Su's mother, "Mom, look, Su Hao, a little girl, has already drunk a bowl, which is good enough. But I'm a strong laborer, one bowl is not enough, let me drink another bowl!"

"What? The girl can't drink anymore? She needs to grow, and you are growing too, huh?" Su's mother looked at Li Yue, who was feeling sorry for her daughter, and saw her daughter gently stroking the top of Su Hao's head with her hand. It seemed that everything was peaceful just now, but Tian Fang was a troublemaker. She offended people as soon as she came. She was too capable!

"Mom, I'm not growing, but don't I still have to earn 10 work points? How can I earn them when I'm thirsty?" Tian Fang couldn't help but complain and tried hard to get another bowl of mung bean soup for herself.

"I heard that you earned 10 work points while harvesting wheat the day before you came to the Su family, but no one brought you water and you were thirsty all the time. How come you couldn't earn 10 work points today even after drinking a bowl of mung bean soup! Don't waste time on me, go to work, and get out!" Su's mother was not tolerant of Tian Fang's bad habits.

Su Yunyun poured another bowl for Su Hao and comforted her: "Xiao Hao, drink it quickly, I still have some."

Su Hao took the bowl and sipped it, feeling very happy. Today her aunt and grandmother protected her, so she had to be nice to them next time!

After everyone finished drinking, Su's mother quickly asked Su Yunyun to go back, so as not to get burned by the scorching sun. It would be even more troublesome if she got heatstroke. Her daughter was in weak health!

Su Yunyun walked back with the jar in her arms, with the care of her mother and everyone else. When she reached the door of Han's house, she saw Han Sen carrying a bucket and walking slowly toward the village entrance, so she hurriedly followed him.

Han Sen noticed footsteps behind him and thought it was villagers walking in the same direction, so he didn't think much of it. But when he reached the woods at the entrance of the village, he saw the person behind him was still following him. He looked back and saw that it was Su Yunyun. Thinking of the rumors in the village, he wondered whether he should tell her not to care about the rumors. If necessary, he could explain it to her in person. But then he remembered that the villagers said that she liked the educated youth Li Wenxuan, and she didn't talk to other men in the village on weekdays, so naturally she wouldn't care about the rumors in the village. He was in a dilemma.

While he was thinking, Su Yunyun plucked up the courage to come forward, her face flushed, and her smile was as warm as the morning sun: "Brother Han, you haven't recovered yet, how can you carry water? Your family is so mean!"

Han Sen was stunned when he saw Su Yunyun standing up for him. Was Su Yunyun talking to him on her own initiative? Why was she talking differently from the villagers?

Seeing Han Sen's silence, Su Yunyun thought that he didn't have the energy to speak. After all, she knew that Han Sen hadn't eaten lunch. The beads of sweat rolling down his face made his pale face look even weaker. She quickly squatted down, poured out the remaining bowl of mung bean soup from the can, and stood up slowly with both hands to hand it to Han Sen: "Brother Han, have some mung bean soup. My mother and the others said it's delicious."

Han Sen looked down at Su Yunyun's pink smile full of expectation. Her bright eyes were filled with concern, which made his hardened heart crack. This was the first warmth he had received since returning home, and he could not bear to refuse. Confusedly, he took it and drank it all in one gulp. "Thank you!"

As the words fell, a sweet taste came from his throat, and then the burning hunger in his stomach was slowly soothed. The fatigue in his body in recent days slowly disappeared, making Han Sen feel that the girl in front of him, who was as sweet as mung bean soup, was handing him a bowl of nectar, not an ordinary bowl of mung bean soup.

Han Sen wanted to thank Su Yunyun again, but before he could say anything, an egg appeared in front of him. It was an egg that Su Yunyun had taken out from the space. She had cooked it while cooking mung bean soup at noon and planned to give it to Han Sen when she had a chance. Now was the perfect time for her to give the egg to him. "Brother Han, you eat eggs. You need to replenish your body."

Worried that he would not accept it, she added, “My mother said that if you don’t take good care of the injured, your foundation will be lost, and it will be difficult to recover in the future.”

Han Sen, who had been in the army for a long time, knew how precious and rare eggs were now. Every family saved them up and sold them at the supply and marketing cooperative in the town or county to exchange for money to buy daily necessities. He didn't even get to eat an egg drop after returning. Although the Han family raised three chickens, Han's mother would touch the chickens' butts and collect three eggs every day, but she would only take out one to cook for her grandson, and the rest were kept and waited to be sold for money.

"No, you can keep the eggs. The mung bean soup you gave me just now is already very good!" Han Sen refused as expected, his eyes were determined.

"Brother Han, why? Your family treats you badly, so you have to accept it to replenish your body!" What should he do? Is there any way he can accept the eggs? Su Yunyun was anxious, biting her thin lips with her pearly teeth, which made her lips look even redder and her teeth even whiter.

"I know my own body, but I can't take the eggs! But you can give the eggs to Li Zhiqing. I believe he will like them very much." Han Sen saw the small and delicate teeth marks on Su Yunyun's thin lips, and he felt a little restless. When Li Zhiqing was mentioned again, he felt a little uncomfortable. He thought it was because of the hot weather and ignored it.

"Brother Han, I won't give him eggs, he doesn't deserve it." Su Yunyun knew that Han Sen had heard the rumors in the village. This was over. She had a bad impression of Brother Han. How could she change his impression? She was about to cry. "He only likes the money and food I give him. He doesn't like me. He only likes Wang Danju. Wang Danju and he are a pair." Su Yunyun explained hurriedly.

But Han Sen on the other side didn't understand. "Even if you don't like him, I can't take your eggs. We have no relationship. If I take your eggs and let others know, it will be bad for you!"

"Then I will be your partner, and we will have a relationship. You can keep the eggs!" Su Yunyun blurted out, and then the shyness that surged from the bottom of her heart made her lower her head. She said it, oh yeah!

Han Sen was stunned. He looked at her with her head lowered, the hair on the back of her head fluttering in the wind, and her soft ears red with shyness. All of these were telling him that the girl in front of him had just said she wanted to be his girlfriend. He was not hallucinating, and it was not fake!

But do I have to become his girlfriend just to give him an egg?
