"Mom, let me think about it again." He Jing said, "Marriage is a big deal, I don't want to make a rash decision."

He Jing still has lingering fears.

She was afraid of repeating the same mistake.

Shi Chunlan didn't understand and didn't comprehend. In her opinion, Zhou Qian'an was already a good man.

"Jingjing, are you still thinking about Yunluo City?" Shi Chunlan hesitated for a while, but still asked.

"Ah?" He Jing was stunned and blinked. She didn't quite understand why Shi Chunlan thought of this.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" He Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I have nothing to do with Jiang Jiayuan."

"Mom, don't think too much." He Jing was really helpless.

In the yard, Liao Hongmei had already swept the yard and was taking a break.

The steps under the eaves were also filled with water-soaked wooden frames.

He Jing looked over and said, "Mom, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's get busy first."

The problem was not solved. Shi Chunlan pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Because in her opinion, He Jing's behavior was just an escape.

I still have thoughts about my fiancé in Yunluo City.

Shi Chunlan frowned. She couldn't let He Jing go on. The man from Yunluo City was going to get engaged to Fangfang.

If He Jing gets entangled in this, there will be no good outcome.

He Jing had no idea what Shi Chunlan was thinking. She went back to help Liao Hongmei wash the yard, picked up the scattered gravel, and repaved the road.

These are small things, but once you do them you can never stop doing them and you won’t feel the time passing.

When He Jing and Liao Hongmei finished laying the gravel, they looked up and the sun had already risen.

The gray clouds disappeared, the sky was a clear blue with a few white clouds floating leisurely.

If you don't look at the yard, no one would be able to imagine that it is a sunny day after a rainstorm.

"The sun is out." Liao Hongmei wiped the sweat from her forehead and exhaled a long breath. "It shouldn't rain anymore."

"Yeah." He Jing nodded, then thought of something and asked, "Big Brother and Second Brother are busy, but why hasn't Second Sister-in-law come back yet?"

"Ah?" Liao Hongmei was surprised. "Zhao Di came back and went out again. Didn't you notice?"

"Jingjing, what's wrong with you today?" Liao Hongmei asked.

He Jing was stunned for a moment. She had been thinking about the engagement and didn't notice it at all.

"No, maybe I was too focused and didn't notice it." He Jing made an excuse.

Liao Hongmei had no doubts. "That's normal. I was paving the gravel road with your elder brother, and we didn't pay attention to what others were doing."

"Let's take a break." Liao Hongmei changed the subject.

All the wood under the eaves was moved away and put back to its original position.

After a heavy rain, the yard was cleaned up. Although it still smelled of sewage, it looked much cleaner and tidier.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to take a look at the vegetable garden in the back mountain." He Jing wiped the sweat from her forehead. She suddenly had some free time and felt a little empty in her heart.

Want to keep myself busy.

Liao Hongmei wanted to say that Shi Chunlan had gone to pick vegetables, but He Jing had already gone out with the basket.

The speed is so fast that people can't react.

He Jing had something on her mind, so she walked quickly and soon reached the vegetable garden at the back of the mountain.

There had been a heavy rainstorm, and the road in the back mountain was extremely muddy and difficult to walk on. As she walked along, her trouser legs were covered with mud spots, not to mention her cattail sandals, which were almost unrecognizable.

Shi Chunlan was tidying up the vegetable garden. She looked up and saw her coming. She waved at her, "Jingjing, come over and help me."

"A lot of rocks rolled down from the mountain and are about to crush the vegetables." Shi Chunlan was heartbroken.

There are a lot of sweet potato leaves, water spinach, and some pumpkin vines planted in the vegetable garden.

But now there is no green in the vegetable garden, only yellow mud.

He Jing walked over and stepped on it. The touch was softer than the grassy road outside, and she sank into it immediately.

If you want to come out again, you have to push harder.

"Slow down, be gentler." Shi Chunlan said.

She bent over, holding a lot of stones in her hands, and threw them outside when she was almost done.

They also helped to stand up some of the seedlings that had been crushed.

"Be careful, there might be snakes." Shi Chunlan said again.

“Especially in trees.”

After hearing this, He Jing immediately looked up. There were no trees inside the vegetable garden, but there were two trees outside, which were fruit trees. They smelled like loquats, but had not borne any fruit yet.

Probably have to wait another year or two.

"Mom, let's find some big stones to pave the road later. It will be more convenient." He Jing looked around and found some big stones that had rolled down from outside the fence. They could be used to pave a nice path.

"Don't worry, clean it up first." Shi Chunlan didn't even raise her head. "Just pick up the stones on the surface, and don't worry about the rest of the mud."

The vegetable garden has a fence, which blocks a lot of mud and sand.

The situation in the yard is pretty good.

He Jing agreed, bent down to pick up the stone, and threw it again.

The work is simple but also boring.

In the past, the mother and daughter would chat with each other, but at this time, neither of them spoke and was quiet.

It didn't take long for the vegetable garden to be tidied up. Shi Chunlan picked a handful of sweet potato leaves and said, "I don't know how the cowpeas are doing."

"The second sister-in-law went to see it." He Jing said, "The eldest sister-in-law went to see cassava."

Every piece of land in the house has been visited by someone.

"On the way here, I met Mrs. Qing. She said the river was flooded and we had to go ashore." He Jing was a little worried.

"The eldest and second brothers haven't come back yet."

Shi Chunlan understood and nodded, "It rained too much this year."

"Fortunately, the seedlings have been planted for about a month, and there are no problems with the root system." Shi Chunlan muttered a few words, and then looked at He Jing. Her forehead and cheeks were covered with sweat, and her trouser legs were stained with yellow mud.

The cattail sandals on his feet looked even worse.

For a moment, Shi Chunlan felt distressed again.

He Jing didn't notice her gaze and just looked at the earth wall behind the vegetable garden. Although it was made of stone, it felt a little unsafe.

"Let's go." Shi Chunlan slung her vegetable basket over her shoulder and called He Jing.

The two of them sat in silence all the way until they reached the door of their home, where they saw a group of people blocking their way.

Both mother and daughter were confused.

"What's going on?" Shi Chunlan asked.

"Chunlan, you're back." The person being asked said, then quickly pulled her along and squeezed in.

He Jing was forgotten.

"Zhou Cuihong was arrested."

"He was caught selling sour beans."

"Ah?" Shi Chunlan blinked and didn't react.

He Jing heard this. She was thinking about going to the town to do some work, but she didn't expect Zhou Cuihong to do her job poorly and become a target of attention.

No, I think he had been eyeing it last time.

As for why we came today, it was probably because Zhou Cuihong and her family went out in the middle of the night and couldn’t find it.

But it didn't rain last night...

He Jing paused. No, it wasn't raining, but it was windy. When she was sleeping, she heard the sound of something being blown down in the yard.

So, last night Zhou Cuihong's family was afraid of rain and did not go out. Then in the morning it rained heavily and they saw that every household was busy and thought no one cared, so they went out to trade.

I didn't expect to be caught red-handed.

This is what He Jing guessed.

But she wasn't sure whether it was actually the case.

Everyone in the village was discussing it, but most of them were just watching the fun and laughing at the joke.

Only Zhou Cuihong was unwilling to admit it, and she raised her voice loudly and violently to question him.

"I'm not trading, we're just bartering!"
