Wan Ning heard the joking of the two young sisters-in-law and nodded to them with a smile.

Then she saw Xiao Jiachen coming over with a bowl. She looked up and asked, "Is it too much?"

Xiao Jiachen handed it to her directly, "It's not much, this is reserved for you. You pay the ticket and money every month, so don't worry about eating it."

Seeing that Wan Ning finally received it, he reminded him again: "Eat in the kitchen, there are too many people outside."

Wan Ning understood what he meant and nodded: "Yes, okay, thank you."

So Xiao Jiachen went out. He wanted to see if there was anything else he needed to prepare.

Wan Ning, who stayed behind, looked at the two young women busy in the kitchen and smiled: "Hello, sisters-in-law."

"Hey, good."

"There's a stool here, sit down and eat."

"Okay," Wan Ning thanked him and sat down to eat quickly.

During this time, she heard two women chatting and she ate while listening.

After eating, I went out.

At this time, Xiao Dachun had already sat in the room, cross-legged on the kang.

When she saw Wan Ning coming in, she smiled at a woman with long pigtailed hair next to her, introduced Wan Ning to her, then patted the kang and asked Wan Ning to sit down.

After that, Wan Ning witnessed the entire process of a woman's marriage.

The groom arrived early and brought gifts, as well as melon seeds and candies, and distributed them to everyone he met.

Close cousins ​​would sit in the main room and help entertain the elders from the groom's family who came to welcome the bride.

Finally, after a lively ceremony in Xiao Dachun's room, the groom put on a pair of new cloth shoes for Xiao Dachun, and then the two newlyweds went outside to bid farewell to Chen Zaohua.

Chen Zaohua looked very happy and told her daughter Dachun to live a good life with her son-in-law. Then she changed the subject and felt like crying again.

"Jiansheng, Dachun will be handed over to you from now on. You must treat him well."

Ge Jiansheng smiled, but also looked a little shy: "Mom, don't worry, we will definitely live well."

In this way, Xiao Dachun followed Ge Jiansheng and left, accompanied by several people who came to welcome the bride. They talked and laughed all the way, slowly moving away from the doorstep.

Wan Ning was also standing at the door, looking at the backs of Chen Zaohua and Xiao Jiachen with mixed feelings.

Because she heard from the neighbors' conversation that the man Xiao Dachun married before was also a man who liked to beat people.

Xiao Jiachen had been there several times before, but the man still wouldn't restrain himself. Finally, Xiao Jiachen got ruthless and the man got scared and wanted to send Xiao Dachun back to her parents' home.

The villagers didn't know that there were formalities for divorce. Xiao Dachun just asked the village chief to issue a certificate, and then he took his things and returned with Xiao Jiachen.

After that, he stayed at home for another two years. Then someone told him that his wife's brother Jiansheng had died in the next village.

(Alas, what a world!)

Wan Ning felt that a man who was addicted to alcohol and committed domestic violence did not deserve to have a wife.

As soon as the newlyweds left, the neighbors and several families living close to the village chief all went home one after another.

Some people left with tables, chairs and benches in their hands. When people in rural areas need to do something, they usually borrow their neighbors'. After all, no one will have so many tables, chairs and benches ready all day long.

Wan Ning ate very well at noon and in the evening. Because there were some leftovers from the morning, including some meat, she felt very full.

The next morning, the loud speaker in the village sounded early. The village chief notified everyone to go to the fields in the west of the village, where corn was planted.

When Wan Ning heard Chen Zaohua say that it was time to pick corn, although she was mentally prepared, she still frightened when she stood in the cornfield.

The corn stalks were more than one meter tall. He went in and picked the corns one by one.

Wan Ning was assigned a piece of land, and next door to him were Yu Qianqian and Ling Yao.

She was wearing long sleeves and long pants, a straw hat on her head, a homemade mask on her face, and old towels in her hands that she had cut open and wrapped around each hand.

After working for a while, Wan Ning felt that her breathing was not smooth and she began to sweat. She rubbed the sweat on her face with her shoulder and took a break.

At the same time, the sound of a loudspeaker was heard at the edge of the field. It was the village chief who came with the loudspeaker to mobilize people.

Wan Ning heard Xiao Daming's passionate voice and the voices of villagers coming out from the surrounding fields to echo him. Wan Ning put on his hat again and started to work.

Some of the corns were so strong that you couldn't break them off no matter how hard you tried. Wan Ning had no choice but to twist them around and keep pulling them off.

As a result, her movements were much slower. Moreover, she had not done any heavy work in this world or before for many years, so she was not used to doing farm work all of a sudden.

There are always three or four rows of corn in a corn field. Sometimes Wan Ning can only take care of one side and not the other, so she has to go back again.

She heard from the old educated youth that she could throw the corn away wherever she went, but it was better to throw it in a few places so that she could carry it out later.

After finally digging a ridge of land, Wan Ning finally got out of the field.

She was breathing heavily and sweating all over.

As I was fanning myself, I heard Ling Yao's voice: "Would you like some water?"

Wan Ning nodded, but she placed her kettle at the other end.

"I haven't drunk yet. If you don't mind, drink some first."

Wan Ning thought Ling Yao was a really nice person. After thinking about it, Wan Ning took it and said, "Okay, I'll have a couple of sips first."

After saying this to Ling Yao with a smile, Wan Ning took the kettle from her hand and drank two sips from a distance.

When passing it to Ling Yao, the other party laughed: "This is the first time I've seen your way of drinking water."

"Haha, yeah, I think it's funny too."

After drinking the water and encouraging each other, Ling Yao dived into the field again.

Wan Ning shook her arms, twisted her wrists, and followed suit to break off a ridge of grass. However, as she twisted her wrists, she gradually lost strength and her palms ached.

She squatted down so that there were no corn leaves covering her head and face. She took off her strange gloves and her palms were red.

"Ouch," Wan Ning touched his hands lightly and found calluses on them.

Finally, when we finished work in the morning, those who had done more work had harvested half an acre, and those who had done less work had harvested several ridges, but Wan Ning had only harvested a little more than two ridges.

After the corn is broken, it has to be dragged to the intersection in snakeskin bags, and the village chief will arrange people to come and take it away. Then it will be taken to the wheat field in the east and the skin will be peeled off.

The bell for the end of work rang, and Wan Ning walked out slowly.

Wan Ning vaguely heard Ling Yao calling her, and she hurriedly responded, so Ling Yao went back to the villager's home.

After dinner, there is some rest time, mainly because it is too hot at noon and going out too early will make people dizzy from the heat.

As soon as I got out of the field, I saw Xiao Jiachen walking towards me not far away. After seeing Wan Ning, his pace obviously quickened a bit.

"How much have you done?"

Wan Ning shook his head: "I didn't do much, just some."
