Quick Wear: The Short-lived Female Supporting Character Does Not Want to Be a Heartthrob

Wan Ning nodded: “No, I haven’t had the chance to go yet, I just passed a few streets on the way here.

But Auntie, please don't keep calling me so formally, just call me Wanning."

"Okay, then I'll call you Wanning, haha."

The three of them finished their meal in harmony, and Xiao Jiachen began to clean up the dishes without saying a word.

Wan Ning also helped to carry the plates to the well, and saw Xiao Jiachen go straight back to the kitchen to get out a basin and wash the dishes himself.

Well, Xiao Jiachen is still a very thoughtful person who is willing to contribute to his family.

After dinner, Xiao Jiachen boiled another pot of water.

He specifically knocked on Wan Ning's door: "The hot water is ready, do you want some?"

After a day of discomfort, Wan Ning was sweating a lot, so of course he had to wipe it off, so he quickly went to open the door: "Yeah."

"Um, is there a place to take a shower at home?"

Xiao Jiachen pointed to the side of the kitchen and said, "There's a path there. You can go in there, but you have to carry the water to wash it yourself."

It’s good enough to have a place, Wan Ning nodded.

But Xiao Jiachen immediately stopped her: "It's getting cold at night, you can stay in the house."

Knowing that the other party meant well, Wan Ning nodded: "Well, thank you."

So Wan Ning turned around and took out two basins from his room. Under the light of the oil lamp, Wan Ning filled the basin with hot water and then filled half a basin with cold water.

After a quick scrub, she changed into clean clothes and went back to the house.

I don't have the energy to wash the dirty clothes, I'll wait until tomorrow.

Wan Ning lay in bed for a short while and soon fell asleep.

The next day she went directly to the threshing ground, and unexpectedly saw Ling Yao there.

The two smiled at each other, sat close to each other, and began to peel corn husks.

"Hey, why are you here too?" Ling Yao asked Wan Ning in a low voice, "Did you take something to the village chief's house yesterday?"

Wan Ning smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I guess so."

Ling Yao smiled and said, "Okay, let's get to work."

But working in the threshing floor is easier. You can go out and get some sun, which is much better than working in the fields.

However, because he broke too many corn husks, his wrists also started to hurt. After an afternoon of work, Wan Ning's hands and neck felt sore and weak.

Well, what else can we do? Everyone is doing this, so just keep working on it.

Gradually, more and more corn was harvested in the threshing floor, and more and more people were assigned to peel the corn here.

Chen Zaohua was also among these people, but she was just a rural woman working, gossiping about other people's affairs, chatting, and listening to gossip while she worked. The threshing ground was very lively.

On the fourth day of the autumn harvest, the village chief Xiao Daming broadcast a message through the village loudspeaker early in the morning, saying that it was expected to rain tomorrow. So he urged everyone to work hard.

"Fellow villagers, the crops have grown well, we can't let them rot in the fields, and we can't let them get moldy under the skin."

"How much food each family will get after the festival depends on these few days. We must work hard and try not to lose a single grain."

Everyone heard the broadcast and knew the seriousness of the matter, so they all put their best efforts into the work. Even those who were assigned to other tasks hurried to work after they finished their work.

For a moment, everyone became nervous.

The educated youth in the village also worked together, because no matter how well they got along with the villagers, they would automatically seek to get close to the people they were most familiar with.

This is not Wan Ning and Ling Yao's place. They are peeling corn husks with several female colleagues, and several male educated youth are responsible for transporting the corn that has just been picked from the fields.

At this time, another cart came. It was Ye Chuyan and Niu Jianjun, one was pulling the cart and the other was pushing it from behind.

When Ling Yao saw them coming, she hurried over to help carry it down. After unloading some of it, Ye Chuyan nodded to Ling Yao: "Okay, it's almost done, you can just step back."

Next, he and Niu Jianjun each took one side and lifted the cart board up with force. With a "gurgle", all the remaining corn cobs fell to the ground.

The two male educated youth worked together to install the wheels on the cart and pushed it away together.

Looking at the backs of the two people walking away, Wan Ning approached Ling Yao and said, "Hey, it's different if you come down a year earlier. Just now, Comrade Ye and Comrade Niu were obviously much stronger than each other."

Hearing Wan Ning's words, Ling Yao also looked up and said, "Well, it's indeed different. He is still a person who has gone to the countryside to gain experience."

Ling Yao glanced at Wan Ning again and said with a smile, "And you, look at how swollen your wrist is, but you still keep going."

"You're awesome," Ling Yao said and gave Wan Ning a thumbs up.

Hearing Ling Yao's words, Wan Ning smiled bitterly. In fact, she was in so much pain.

Every day after returning home, her hands would tremble when she held the bowl or chopsticks, and she would even spill the rice.

Xiao Jiachen frowned and told her to take it easy, even if it was just to earn two work points a day, but she must not overwork herself.

Chen Zaohua felt distressed and helpless when she saw Wan Ning like this. Farm work is hard work. But she still went to the kitchen to boil pepper water and let Wan Ning soak her hands and feet while it was hot, which would relieve some of the pain.

Xiao Jiachen saw how his mother cooked, so he took over the cooking the second time. For several days in a row, he was the one who boiled water for Wan Ning to reduce her swelling.

After each bath, Wan Ning would quickly lie down on the bed, groaning and wheezing about his waist and buttocks.

But tonight, after dinner, everyone went to the threshing floor again, because all the corn had been broken and only the husks were left.

In order to provide lighting at night, the brigade specially pulled an electric wire to the threshing ground. Everyone used the light and worked quickly.

Wan Ning picked up an ear of corn, touched the head, took a piece of wire in one hand and pulled it upwards, so that the skin was divided into several pieces, and then he could tear it apart with his hands, which was much easier and less labor-intensive.

This method was told to Wan Ning by Chen Zaohua. Wan Ning got two pieces of wire and gave a piece to Ling Yao.

Everyone was busy until midnight, yawning all the time, when they finally finished husking all the corn, and then they worked together to carry the corn to the newly built barn.

Coming back and forth were people shuttling between the threshing floor and the barn.

During this time, Ling Yao and Wan Ning were working together to carry a snakeskin bag into the barn. Without paying attention, Ling Yao bumped into Ye Chuyan when she turned around and walked.

"Ouch!" Ling Yao felt like she had hit a hard wall, while Ye Chuyan felt like he had hit a ball of dough, which was so hot.

Both parties were stunned for a moment, during which time Ling Yao's strength loosened and the bottom of the snakeskin bag she was holding fell to the ground.

Ye Chuyan quickly leaned over, a little embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, I didn't pay attention just now, let me move it."

"It's okay. I was distracted just now."

Ling Yao also hurriedly explained that she really didn't look at the road just now.

Wan Ning smiled. When she saw Ye Chuyan taking action, she also stood up the bag and closed the snakeskin bag in her hand and handed it to Ye Chuyan: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
