The village chief also looked at Liu Ting and said.

"Stop looking for trouble for no reason. If your family causes me trouble again, Dafeng Village will no longer have room for you."

After saying that, the village chief looked at Tao Jin with some apology.

"I was wrong about this matter with Tao Zhiqing. I didn't understand it clearly beforehand and almost wrongly accused you.

I apologize to you and I promise there won’t be a next time.”

Hearing this, Tao Jin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't take it to heart, and then said complimentingly.

"It is because of such a responsible village chief that Dafeng Village will become better and better."

After hearing Tao Jin's words and knowing that Tao Jin didn't mind this matter, the village chief returned home with peace of mind.

After the crowd dispersed, Tao Jin and Li Huijin went home together.

Li Huijin thought of something while walking on the road and turned his head to look at Tao Jin.

Tao Jin also looked over at the same time. After the two looked at each other, Tao Jin asked curiously.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Li Huijin retracted his gaze and said.

"nothing."

At this time, Tao Jin thought of the scene that had just come down the mountain and explained.

"I didn't lie, I just turned the time around.

I just moved yesterday's rabbit hunting to today, replaced the rabbit with a pheasant, and told the rest of the story truthfully."

The reality is that after Liu Ting came down the mountain, Li Huijin and Tao Jin originally wanted to move the old carpenter to another place.

However, he did not expect that Tao Jin would discover the pheasant with his quick eyes and hands, and command Li Huijin to catch the pheasant.

After catching the pheasant, he returned and found that the old carpenter who was lying there had disappeared.

I think the old carpenter woke up and left on his own.

The two returned home and looked at the pheasant, Li Huijin said.

"You found this pheasant, so it should be yours."

As he said that, he handed the pheasant to Tao Jin, who took two steps back and spoke quickly.

"No, it's not mine. I don't dare kill the chicken."

Li Huijin looked at Tao Jin's frightened expression, moved the chicken a little further away and asked again.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Braised chicken."

This was the first time Tao Jin had tasted Li Huijin's cooking since the two of them had lived together for so long.

Before, Tao Jin always thought that Li Huijin couldn’t cook, until she ate the braised chicken.

Only then did Tao Jin realize how deep his misunderstanding of Li Huijin was. He had never expected that Li Huijin's craftsmanship was so good.

Many years ago, when Tao Jin was in college, she ate delicious braised chicken at a restaurant in front of the school.

I haven't eaten such delicious braised chicken since I graduated from college. It was not until I ate the dishes made by Li Huijin that I felt that the taste was even better than I remembered.

Starting from this meal of braised chicken, every time Li Huijin finished cooking, Tao Jin would open the door of the room on time and sit at the dining table.

Li Huijin keenly noticed that the amount of rice, flour, meat and oil in the kitchen had increased. After taking a look, he knew that it was Tao Jin who put them there.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the busy farming season.

At this time, men, women, young and old all had to go to the fields to harvest, and even the lazy trio were forced to work.

After all, after the harvest is completed and the grain is distributed, every household will stockpile food and prepare for winter.

We have to wait until winter is over and spring comes before we can continue sowing.

On the first day, Tao Jin was assigned to harvest wheat, although the weather was not very hot at that time.

But the sun was still high in the sky, so Tao Jin put on his long-sleeved shirt and long pants, put on his hat, and took a sickle to join the wheat harvesting.

At this time, even the village chief joined in the rush to harvest.

During the break, the village chief stood on the edge of the field and looked into the distance.

Suddenly I realized that the only ones who didn't keep up with the harvesting pace were those three people.

He felt a headache looking at the three of them. Although he could see that they were trying their best, he still felt helpless.

The combined speed of these three people could not match that of one villager, so the village chief could only speak to them helplessly.

"Just the three of you will be in charge. These villagers will only have to do the work for one person."

The village chief also has his own considerations as he is so busy at this time.

He thought that someone would be needed to guard the food at night anyway, so he might as well let these three people take turns to guard the night.

Anyway, if you let them work, they won't be able to achieve anything.

The trio will definitely be lazy if they can.

After hearing the words of the village chief, he quickly expressed his willingness to guard the food. So it was Zhao Jingshu who was on guard on the first night, while Tao Jin went to bed early.

After all, although the workload today is not as heavy as that of other villagers, it has reached a critical point for Tao Jin.

The next morning, Tao Jin got up feeling depressed.

I don’t know why, but when I was cutting grass for the pigs, getting up every morning wasn’t so difficult.

Now that I really have to work, getting up has become a very difficult thing, not to mention that I can't find an excuse to come back and slack off in the afternoon.

It is Tao Jin's turn to keep watch tonight. After the grain is harvested, it will be placed on the village dam.

It was a very wide flat ground where villagers usually held meetings, and it was piled high with grain.

Tao Jin moved a chair and sat there looking at the moon in the sky.

It was obvious that it was not going to rain that day. Suddenly, Tao Jin heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Li Huijin sitting next to her with a stool.

Although Li Huijin's hand was still injured, he had been working on the ground these days, and his speed was not slow.

At this moment, Tao Jin looked at him and asked doubtfully,

"Why aren't you sleeping at home?"

"It's okay. You're just a little girl, so it's better to have someone to accompany you at night."

After returning home, Li Huijin washed up and cooked dinner. He thought that Tao Jin was alone here keeping watch at night and might be scared, so he brought a stool to find her.

After saying that, Li Huijin handed the lunch box in his hand to Tao Jin.

Tao Jin had actually already had dinner at this time, but looking at the lunch box handed to him by Li Huijin, he still felt that it was okay to have a midnight snack, so he sat on the chair, opened the lunch box and started eating.

On the other side, not far away, Zhao Jingshu kept watch last night.

He should have rested today, but he thought about Tao Jin, a little girl whose safety could not be guaranteed at night, so he thought of coming here to take a look.

Seeing Li Huijin accompanying Tao Jin, he went back to sleep with peace of mind.

After finishing the food in the lunch box, Tao Jin put the lunch box away.

Sitting on the chair, chatting with Li Huijin casually.

The moon at this time is big and round, and even the moonlight can keep people from groping in the dark in the night.

"How many days will you stay at home this time?"

Tao Jin just asked casually. After all, she knew that Li Huijin could not stay in Dafeng Village for a long time.

When Li Huijin heard Tao Jin's question, he looked down at his hands and said.

"I don't know either. Maybe I'll stay in Dafeng Village forever."

Hearing this, Tao Jin also looked at Li Huijin's hand, but before she could say anything, Li Huijin spoke to her.

"I'll just stay here tonight. You can go back and rest. Remember to lock the door."
