After lunch, Wan Ning returned to his room to rest.

During this period, Xiao Dachun and Xiao Jiachen went out once. They went to the back mountain to find something to eat.

When he came back, the basket on his back was filled with a lot of good things.

There are wild mushrooms, wild vegetables, sweet and sour fruits picked from trees, as well as wild ginger and wild potatoes, all of which are edible.

The brother and sister were very happy, as they could now have two more dishes at home.

When Wan Ning got up, she saw Xiao Jiachen washing things in a large wooden barrel in the yard. She hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward.

Xiao Jiachen, who was washing wild vegetables, had already heard the sound of the door opening. He didn't look up until he heard footsteps coming towards him.

Wan Ning walked over and asked a little embarrassedly: "Um, where is the toilet at home?"

Toilet. Xiao Jiachen knew that the other party was talking about the toilet, so he pointed to the right and left side of the house and said, "Go in, turn the corner, it's at the back."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

After thanking Wan Ning, she quickly turned around and went to the bathroom. It had been a long time and she hadn't used it once.

Xiao Jiachen lowered his head again only after Wan Ning's figure disappeared in the alley. However, his movements in washing vegetables were obviously much slower than before.

In fact, at this time, his face and ears were a little red, but they were all tanned and it was not noticeable at all.

Wan Ning felt good after coming out of the toilet. Although it was an earthen toilet, it was still relatively clean.

Then he went to Xiao Jiachen and looked around: "Is there a place to wash hands here?"

Xiao Jiachen immediately shook the water off his hands, stood up and started swinging the iron bar next to him.

"I'll help you water it, go wash it."

This is a water-pressing well. Wan Ning squatted down quickly and stretched out his hand. Then water slowly flowed out from the scoop.

She had never used this thing before, and when she first saw it, she felt it was very novel.

After a while, Wan Ning hurriedly shouted: "Okay, I'm fine, no need to press the water anymore."

So Xiao Jiachen stopped watering the plants, and then immediately took out a stool: "Would you like to sit down?"

Wan Ning saw that he had nothing to do, so he had to sit not far away.

Looking at the pile of things next to him, “Do you want to wash so much?”

Xiao Jiachen nodded: "Well, it's useful after it's dried."

"Oh well."

Wan Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I help you? It will be faster for two of us."

In fact, Xiao Dachun had been busy with her brother, but when a neighbor called for help, she and her mother Chen Zaohua went out.

When Xiao Dachun and his companion came back, they saw the new educated youth and his brother sitting together, washing wild vegetables in a basin and a bucket.

"Ouch, this is, how did it get on your hands? Xu Zhiqing, come on, go to the side and have a rest."

Wan Ning looked up and said, "It's okay. I just happen to be free right now."

Chen Zaohua stepped forward and pulled Wan Ning up, "Go and wipe your hands quickly. The water will get cold when it gets dark. We are used to it, don't let it get cold."

The temperature difference between morning and evening is huge, and at noon my head is hot and sweaty, so Chen Zaohua doesn't want Wan Ning to get involved. Another reason is that seeing that Wan Ning has never worked before, she doesn't want him to cry in her own home.

Xiao Jiachen on the side also hurriedly said: "I will be done soon, you all take a rest, no need to do anything else."

When her son spoke, Chen Zaohua smiled.

Xiao Dachun, who was standing by, walked forward with a smile and pulled Wan Ning back to the house.

"It's alright, my little brother, you're used to doing this, so you can take a break. That way you can save up your strength for the autumn harvest."

Wan Ning nodded: "Well, Sister Dachun, what are we busy with here during the autumn harvest?"

"It's a lot of work. I have to harvest corn, cut beans, peel and beat the beans. Finally, I have to collect the corn stalks and use them as firewood in the winter."

"Just wait until the wheat is planted, then we can have a good rest."

Hearing Xiao Dachun's words, Wan Ning frowned. Well, there is still so much work to do.

After having dinner early, Wan Ning washed up and went back to his room.

Wan Ning and Xiao Dachun were lying on their own side. Thinking that she was going to get married soon, she asked a few questions out of curiosity.

Xiao Dachun smiled and said, "She married to the village next door. She married someone before, but she died of illness."

Hearing Xiao Dachun's words, Wan Ning turned her head in surprise and said, "Sister Dachun, why are you willing to do this?"

"Hey, why wouldn't I be willing to do this?"

Xiao Dachun also turned sideways and spoke in bed: "I married someone before, and they were all the same, no one disliked anyone. Besides, I've made inquiries, and this person is down-to-earth and capable, and he doesn't have any children."

Wan Ning did not continue to ask her why she broke up with her ex. In the countryside, divorce is rare. If a woman can stop living with a man, there must be a big reason.

Wan Ning had no intention of exposing other people's secrets, so he nodded and said, "Well, as long as the person is good, nothing else matters."

After hearing what Wan Ning said, Xiao Dachun nodded, "Yes, that's what I care about. And, he's really good-looking, tall, with a handsome face."

"Haha, really? My future brother-in-law Dachun has so many advantages."

Xiao Dachun and Wan Ning talked a lot. The woman got more and more excited when she talked about gossip. The room became quiet only when they both felt sleepy.

The next morning, when Wan Ning opened her eyes, she immediately turned around and saw that Xiao Dachun next to her had gotten up early.

She also changed her clothes and got out of bed.

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw Xiao Jiachen chopping firewood in the yard.

Turning his head to see Wan Ning coming out, he said, "There's rice in the pot, you eat first. The village chief just sent someone to tell you to go to the Youth Institute."

When Wan Ning heard her words, he immediately became nervous.

"Oh, ok, thank you very much."

Wan Ning hurriedly went to the toilet, brushed his teeth and washed his face, then quickly went to the kitchen to eat.

For breakfast, she was given a bowl of rice soup, a coarse grain steamed bun with wild vegetables, some pickles and a boiled egg.

Wan Ning knew that eggs could not be eaten every day. She had scrambled eggs yesterday and now she had a boiled egg. She felt that this family was pretty nice.

Moreover, she hadn't handed in any food or coupons yet, but she was able to eat all of this, which was considered pretty good.

After dinner, Wan Ning was getting up and was about to wash the dishes when Xiao Jiachen came in.

"Just leave it there. Go to the Youth Institute first and I'll clean it up."

Although he felt a little embarrassed, Wan Ning still nodded: "Okay, I'll be back right after I go there."

The main thing is that she doesn’t know what time people will be notified of things, and it would be embarrassing if she was late.

After saying this, Wan Ning hurried out.

Suddenly, Xiao Jiachen's voice came from behind: "Do you know the way?"

Wan Ning paused for a moment, "It's okay, I seem to have some impression of it. Thank you, I'll go over first."

After saying that, Wan Ning walked out quickly, leaving Xiao Jiachen standing in the yard and watching for a while.
