As he spoke, Wan Ning pointed to the place where he had finished working.

Xiao Jiachen nodded: "Okay, let's go home and eat first."

Wan Ning said "hmm" and followed the other person all the way home.

Chen Zaohua was lighting a fire and cooking. Wan Ning washed his face and wanted to go to help, but was chased out by her.

"Don't interfere. Go drink a bowl of water and take a rest."

Xiao Jiachen also entered the kitchen: "Let me light the fire."

Finally, Wan Ning went out again, leaving her no place to attack. So Wan Ning returned to the house and rubbed her wrist.

The lunch was simple, with cold dishes, steamed buns, and a bowl of vegetable soup per person.

After eating, Wan Ning went back to bed. He didn't have to go to work until 2pm, so he had plenty of time.

Wan Ning slept until Chen Zaohua called her, and she got up quickly. For convenience, Wan Ning only braided one braid.

"Let's go together."

Wan Ning nodded and hurriedly followed Chen Zaohua to the fields.

On the way, Chen Zaohua smiled and said that she didn't know when Xiaochen left.

When she arrived at the field, Wan Ning found out that Xiao Jiachen was busy working in her field.

Seeing the man who was sweating and soaking wet, Wan Ning hurried forward and asked: "Didn't you take a break at noon? Why are you here so early?"

Xiao Jiachen wiped the sweat off his face with the towel hanging around his neck: "I slept for a while, and it's over. There's one more ridge, and you've finished this piece."

Wan Ning felt that Xiao Jiachen was a really nice person, helping him with his work without saying a word.

"Just take a break, I'll do the rest."

Seeing Xiao Jiachen's dry mouth, Wan Ning hesitated for a moment, then immediately took off the kettle hanging on his shoulder and unscrewed the lid: "Drink some water!"

Looking at the kettle raised in front of him, Xiao Jiachen looked around and looked at Wan Ning again: "I don't want to drink."

Seeing that the other party pursed his lips twice, Wan Ning insisted on putting the kettle towards his mouth: "Hey, drink it quickly. At worst, you can just pour me another kettle after you finish drinking it."

After hearing Wan Ning's words, Xiao Jiachen really took it and started drinking it with a gulp.

Seeing him like this, Wan Ning also laughed.

She had made up her mind that it would be fine even if she just gave the kettle to him.

After drinking for a while, Xiao Jiachen stopped and Wan Ning immediately handed her the kettle lid.

Looking at the white palm with red marks on it, Xiao Jiachen frowned and reached out to take it in his own hand.

Wan Ning only felt that the other party's movements were so fast that Xiao Jiachen's fingers accidentally touched the palm of her hand.

"Take a break first, you still have work to do!"

After talking to Xiao Jiachen, Wan Ning put on a mask and gloves and started working.

Perhaps it was because she had a good rest at noon, or perhaps it was because she was about to finish her work, which gave her hope and made Wan Ning full of strength.

She felt that she worked very quickly. After she had finished picking all the corn, she took a snakeskin bag and dragged the corn cobs to the edge of the field.

As soon as she stopped, she saw the familiar kettle on the ridge of the field.

"Hey, was this sent back to me?"

Wan Ning looked around and only vaguely saw a few educated youth and villagers hanging around in the fields, but did not see Xiao Jiachen.

Wan Ning threw down the snakeskin bag in his hand, walked over, picked up the kettle and shook it, it was full.

Wan Ning unscrewed the lid and took a few sips.

As for Xiao Jiachen, after returning home and filling the kettle with water, he immediately brought it to Wan Ning. He didn't even dare to shake the kettle in his hand along the way, for fear that he would accidentally break it.

When he returned to the land that was allocated to him, he was much later than others.

However, he was not panicked at all because he had done a lot in the morning.

He broke off a corn with one hand and threw it forward. Soon, the corn cobs piled up more and more. This year's harvest was good, and it was a blessing from God.

Just like Xiao Jiachen's mood at the moment, he felt sweet in his heart.

His hands were busy all the time, but the scenes just now kept appearing in his mind from time to time.

The new arrival, Xu Zhiqing, smiled brightly at him. The two dimples on both sides of his cheeks looked like they were filled with honey. Every time he saw them, his heart was filled with sweetness.

As he thought about it, his face turned red because he touched Xu Zhiqing's hand. It was warm, soft, and slippery, and it scared him when he accidentally touched it.

As a result, Xu Zhiqing did not blame him, but continued to persuade him to drink water.

Hehe, Xiao Jiachen's mouth corners were raised the whole afternoon.

When he got off work in the evening, Wan Ning felt that he was finally liberated.

Ling Yao's work next to her was still a little bit done, so Wan Ning asked her to help her for a while, but Ling Yao simply waved her hand to refuse.

"We are all the same. I can't ask you to do more work. It's the first day today and you are already exhausted enough."

Finally, Wan Ning got full work points today because she had finished all her work. The person in charge of recording the work points was the village chief's daughter, Xiao Jiajia. Seeing Wan Ning's complete situation, she was puzzled for a while.

But she said nothing and just did the registration work at hand.

Following the villagers, Wan Ning returned home.

Xiao Jiachen hadn't come back yet, so Wan Ning sat in front of the stove to help watch the fire after washing his hands.

Chen Zaohua, who was cooking next to her, also smiled and instructed her how to make a fire. Wan Ning listened carefully and imitated them in making a fire, paying attention to digging out the ashes from the ground in time when there was too much.

However, her skills still need to be improved. She was cooking in the middle of the meal, but Wan Ning almost burned the fire.

It was Chen Zaohua who handed the spatula to Wan Ning. She lit the fire herself for a while. When the fire was strong, she took the spoon back to cook.

Wan Ning felt very embarrassed. She felt that if she lived alone, she would starve to death and she wouldn't even be able to light a fire.

Just before the meal was ready, Xiao Jiachen came back.

So the three of them started to eat. At the dinner table, Xiao Jiachen directly told Wan Ning that she didn't need to go to the fields tomorrow and could just go to the market to peel corn husks.

Wan Ning glanced at Xiao Jiachen, curious about how he knew what he would do tomorrow.

At this time, Chen Zaohua next to him said, "Your uncle Daming didn't say anything, did he?"

Xiao Jiachen didn't look up, "No."

Chen Zaohua nodded: "Okay, that's it."

She turned to Wan Ning and smiled, "Come on, eat more and go to bed early after eating. Go to the threshing ground tomorrow, it's easier there."

Wan Ning heard from their words that Xiao Jiachen had given him a backdoor. The relationship between his family and the village chief's family was very good.

I guess he came home late just now because he went to the village chief's house to discuss this matter.

"Auntie, Brother Jiachen, thank you so much. I, I don't even know how to thank you!"

Chen Zaohua held the bowl and smiled: "It's not a big deal. It's not worth it."

However, Wan Ning still wanted to express his gratitude: "Otherwise, after the autumn harvest, I will go to the town to buy some meat and bring it back. I will give everyone a good nourishment and also send a piece of meat to the village chief's family."

"Hey, kid, you really don't have to be so polite. Hey, has Xu Zhiqing never been to this town?"
