When he heard the first sound, Xie Zhuo thought he had heard it wrong.

Turning his head, he saw Dabao, Xiaobao and...Xu Yan standing not far from him.

Xie Zhuo stood up and asked the question that everyone in the area wanted to ask.

"Why are you here?"

Yup!

Why is Xu Yan here?

He also brought along Xie Laosan's two nephews.

"I guess the fox can no longer hide its tail," Mrs. Tian glanced at Xu Yan and snorted coldly, "They couldn't bear to see the two children living and eating for free at home, so they sent them to the fields."

After she said this, no one else responded, and Mrs. Qian, who shared the same bad taste as her, immediately snorted.

The distance was too far to hear what was being said over there, but someone caught a glimpse of Xie Zhuo who seemed to smile.

Mrs. Qian said something immediately, but no one else paid any attention.

The workload today is too heavy, and I don’t have time to pay attention to all this excitement.

However, it was Mrs. Qian's son, Wang Ermaizi, who was woken up.

He reached out and picked up the tattered straw hat that had turned so black that its original color could not be seen. He frowned and looked towards the bustling area for a few seconds, and then he saw Xu Yan.

He has been upset ever since his mother said yesterday that Xu Yan had already agreed to marry him, but was interrupted by Xie Lao San.

He blamed Mrs. Qian for not taking him with her that day, otherwise, it would have been impossible for Xie Lao San to get there first.

Moreover, after hearing Mrs. Qian exaggerate what Xu Yan said that day, Wang Ermaizi became even angrier and felt that his mother's brain was really hit by the door.

"If she wants a dowry, give her one," said Wang Ermaizi.

Mrs. Qian was furious.

Our family is extremely poor, where does the money come from?

If he had money, how could he not be able to get married at this age?

The betrothal gift of two hundred yuan is not worth that much money even if you sell her.

Besides, that little bitch still wants to be the boss.

Pooh!

What a beautiful thought.

Wang Ermaizi looked at Qian Pozi's expression and got a headache because of anger.

"Even if it's borrowing money, what's the harm in getting the two hundred yuan for her? She's married into our family, so won't the money belong to us sooner or later?"

"Don't even mention the two hundred yuan. Her family is so rich. There's also money owed to her by the educated youths at the educated youth center. When she marries us, it will all be ours!"

“But…” Mrs. Qian was a little dumbfounded.

But I would like to say a few words in my own defense.

But before she could speak, Wang Ermaizi said, "But what? But she still wants to be the master of the house?"

Wang Ermaizi sneered.

"Since ancient times, men have been the heaven for women. How can she change the heaven? When she really comes to our house, we will eat thick food and she will drink thin food. She will be obedient after being starved for three days."

After listening to this for a while, Mrs. Qian's face turned green.

If she had known this earlier, she should have talked to her son about this matter first, so as not to let the third brother Xie take advantage of him.

Who knows, maybe Xie Laosan used this method.

Anyway, she didn't believe that Xie Laosan really had so much money.

But it's too late to regret now, Xu Yan has already married Xie Lao San.

Thinking this, she continued to weed, fearing that she would not be able to finish before noon.

Wang Ermaizi on the side did not look away, his eyes were still on Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

"Uncle San, we are here to help you," Dabao answered before Xu Yan could speak.

Xiaobao nodded beside him.

"Do you want to dry it in the sun?" Xie Zhuo glanced at their faces and said helplessly, "Uncle San doesn't need your help. He will be done soon and go home."

As he said that, he also glanced at Xu Yan and said, "Go stay under the shade of the tree for a while. That's all. You can come back after you're done."

Xu Yan didn't listen to him.

When she walked over here just now, she discovered that Xie Zhuo was the one working the fastest and hardest in the entire field.

I guess he was thinking about finishing the work quickly and then going home to cook.

His handsome face was covered in sweat and his clothes were wet.

"Let's go together." Xu Yan got off the ground with a shovel and walked towards him. "It's only a little after nine o'clock, it's not that hot yet."

Xie Zhuo wanted to say something, but he saw the two kids also struggling to get down to the field. He immediately had no time to stare at Xu Yan, and hurriedly stopped them, "You two, stop making trouble, play outside for a while, if you come down and trample the crops, the captain will be angry."

Dabao and Xiaobao were a little hesitant.

The two of them came here to help Uncle San, so how could they not go to the fields?

But when they thought of the captain's angry look, they felt a little scared.

Of course Song Guangming also saw Xu Yan and the others coming. He had just come here from the field over there, saying he was going to take a look at the situation, but he heard Xie Zhuo making up stories behind his back.

Is he that easily angered?

However, it is better for children not to go out, especially since it is so hot now, otherwise something bad might happen to them.

"Look, the captain is here," Xie Zhuo said to Dabao and the others as he looked at Song Guangming who was about to approach them.

Dabao and Xiaobao immediately turned their heads and met Song Guangming's face.

Only after the two little ones obediently went to play under the shade of the tree did Xie Zhuo have time to coax the other one.

"You go sit over there too," Xie Zhuo looked at Xu Yan who had already started to hoe a small patch of grass with a shovel, "It will be over at the latest by eleven o'clock."

"If you delay any longer, it will be ten o'clock," Xu Yan said, but his hands did not stop moving.

Seeing that Xie Zhuo was still frowning, he waved at him slightly and said, "I have something to tell you."

Xie Zhuo was a little bit unconvinced.

If there is anything, he can't wait to go back and talk about it, he has to come to the field to talk about it.

But like Xu Yan said, if we delay any further it will really be time to dry it out.

He quickly squatted down, lowered his head and started working.

"I really have something to tell you," Xu Yan moved towards Xie Zhuo, "Have you ever thought about sending Dabao and Xiaobao to school?"

Xie Zhuo turned his head to look at her, then continued to weed. "I've thought about it, but they are both too young."

Not too small.

Five years old.

If it were in later times, he would have been in kindergarten for more than two years.

"Well," Xu Yan thought for a moment, then nodded, "It's a little early to go to elementary school now, but..."

Hearing her hesitation, Xie Zhuo asked, "But what?"

"But I think the two children should play more with children of the same age," Xu Yan said. "Xiaobao's ability to express himself is a little weak, and Dabao doesn't play with others much on weekdays. If this continues, it will not be good for the growth of the two children."

This time Xie Zhuo remained silent for a long time, and Xu Yan even suspected that he didn't want to answer.

Then I heard his voice, "Xiaobao is actually much better now."

"Since my parents passed away, he hasn't spoken for a long time and is reluctant to interact with others. He only wants to stick to Dabao."

"Recently, he has been talking the most," Xie Zhuo said.

Xu Yan frowned as he listened.
