Chen Fanglan glared at him and said, "Be serious, I'm talking to you about something serious."

"Mom, I'm not kidding. I just like her." Zhou Qian put down his bowl and chopsticks, sat up straight and looked serious.

Seeing that he was serious, Chen Fanglan thought for a while and said, "The two families already have an engagement. I'll go ask Shi Chunlan what she thinks this afternoon."

"If there is no problem, it will be settled."

"No need." Zhou Qian refused. Before Chen Fanglan lost her temper, he explained, "The girl from the He family just came back from the city."

"Let them spend a few days with their biological parents."

"I am not in a hurry."

Chen Fanglan was anxious, "You are already twenty-one!"

"What's not urgent?"

"Look at your peers in the village. Who isn't a child of two or three years old?"

Zhou Qi'an was indifferent, "Mom, don't worry about this matter, I'll do it."

Chen Fanglan opened her mouth several times but no words came out.

After a long while, Chen Fanglan sighed, "Okay, I don't care about you anymore."

"Love is what it is."

After the meal, Zhou Qi'an wanted to clean up the dishes, but Chen Fanglan stopped him and said, "Go and have a rest, you still have to work in the afternoon."

At home, Chen Fanglan took care of all the housework, and Zhou Qian didn't have to do any of it. Even if he wanted to help, he would be stopped.

Zhou Qianan glanced at it and said, "Okay."

He went to rest.

Chen Fanglan went to wash the dishes, then went out again. After making some inquiries, she felt more and more that there was something fishy about the return of the He family's biological daughter.

"No, I have to find a way to make Qi'an give up this idea." Chen Fanglan clenched her palms.

-

In the afternoon, the whistle for work was blown.

He Jing washed her face and followed out, "Big brother, second brother, I want to go to work too."

There is currently no way to go out and earn money, but work points still need to be earned.

He Jijun looked at her and frowned, "I haven't thought of any work to assign you yet."

During the Qingming Festival, everyone was preparing for transplanting rice seedlings. She definitely couldn't do the plowing and spreading of fertilizer.

"Brother, I can do anything." He Jing said.

Liao Hongmei saw it and said, "How about this, come with me to weed in the afternoon."

"Weeding is an easy job, let's try it first." Xu Zhaodi also said.

He Jidong was just about to let his younger sister do his custodian's job when he heard his father say.

"Then let's give it a try first." He Zhiqiang said, "Fangfang also worked with your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law before."

"Jingjing, if you don't know anything or don't understand anything, just ask them."

Except for important events, He Zhiqiang rarely speaks in this family and usually just watches silently.

"Well, mom and dad, big brother and second brother, big sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, don't worry, I will do it well." He Jing promised.

He Jijun was still a little worried, so he gave Liao Hongmei some instructions before leaving, "My little sister has just returned from the city and has never suffered hardship. Please take good care of her."

"I don't understand yet?" Liao Hongmei said with a sigh, "It's a good thing that my sister-in-law wants to help."

"You can't destroy people's self-confidence all at once."

"Don't worry." After Liao Hongmei whispered to He Jijun, she took He Jing out to familiarize herself with the environment.

He Jidong looked at it for a while, then turned back and said to Xu Zhaodi, "Let my job go to my little sister."

"If you give in, the family will have a few less work points. One work point is worth ten cents. How much food can ten cents buy?" Xu Zhaodi calculated with him unhappily, then looked at her parents-in-law secretly, "My parents didn't say anything, why are you rushing to do that?"

"Also, do you think being a custodian has an easy job? There are so many pickaxes, hammers, and shovels in the warehouse. Isn't it hard to sort them out?"

"Even if she can sort it out, what if one item is lost? We can afford to pay for it once, but what about the next time?"

"Okay, okay, okay, I get it, stop nagging." He Jidong waved his hands repeatedly, not wanting to listen any more, "Is it okay if I don't change?"

"Besides, I'm worried that my little sister can't do it."

Xu Zhaodi curled her lips. She glanced at the door and saw that He Jing and Liao Hongmei were no longer outside. "We'll talk about it when I can't do it."

Anyway, she didn't agree with her man giving up his job.

"Okay, we heard you two whispering." Shi Chunlan glanced over and said, "Jingjing does what Fangfang did before."

"I explained it to her clearly this morning."

"You don't have to worry or think too much about it, Old Second's family."

After getting her mother-in-law's promise, Xu Zhaodi's face improved significantly. "Mom, that's not what I meant. If Jidong gives up his job just after my sister-in-law comes back, how will other people see our family?"

"Maybe they will think that since Big Brother is the captain, he can assign tasks at will."

"Okay, everyone knows what kind of person Jijun is." Shi Chunlan pursed her lips.

Xu Zhaodi stopped talking.

Children go to school and adults go to work.

It was only when He Jing followed Liao Hongmei that she learned that the village was reclaiming land. Last year, the underground crops by the river were destroyed by heavy rain. This year, the team planned to continue planting by the river as usual, but they also wanted to reclaim land in the mountains in case of emergency.

"Was there no land in the mountains before?" He Jing asked.

"Yes, but not much." Liao Hongmei replied with a smile, "There are more and more people in the village, and there is not enough food. So don't we have to plant more?"

"We're here." Liao Hongmei pointed to a piece of land and said to her, "We just need to weed the weeds here this afternoon."

"The work is not difficult, but it is tiring."

He Jing looked over and saw that the mountain was not high, but it did have a slope, just relatively gentle.

But only a small piece of land could be cleared.

"What are we going to plant?"

"Cassava," Liao Hongmei explained. "Cassava is drought-resistant, so now is the best time to plant it."

Liao Hongmei was not the only one doing the weeding job. Several other people came one after another, all women, including two girls of the same age as her.

He Jing changed her Dacron shirt and put on cotton clothes. Her long black hair was braided into two big black pigtails, one on the left and one on the right, which made her face look white and small.

She had just arrived in Hekou Village, and although everyone in the village knew about her, few had seen her.

At this moment, the women saw the unfamiliar face and then saw Liao Hongmei, and they knew that she was the He family's biological daughter.

"This is my sister-in-law, He Jing." Liao Hongmei introduced her to everyone before work started. "She just came back yesterday."

After Liao Hongmei finished speaking, He Jing followed up by saying, "Hello, aunts."

"Quite well-behaved."

"It's good to be back."

"Yes, this is your home. You must come back here."

"She looks exactly like Chunlan."

…………

The field has not been plowed yet, so we will continue working on it in the afternoon.

Before Zhou Qian looked around, he didn't see the person he wanted to see. He only saw the He brothers and the wife of the second son of the He family.

After retracting his gaze, Zhou Qian looked to the side and heard someone say.

"Why did the He family's daughter come back?"

"Didn't the person who came here in a small car before say that he was not allowed to come back?"

"After making such a big fuss, he finally came back."

"I'm afraid something has happened."
