Cui family.

Old Mrs. Cui had prepared the meal long ago and set up a big table in the yard, and the meal for Old Mr. Cui's family was also ready.

Everyone was covered in dust and dirt, not caring about cleanliness, and ate voraciously.

Lin ate an extra bowl of rice.

Not only was my body tired, but even my stomach felt empty.

The ceramic bowls and basins have been put away, but there is still work to do around the house.

Old Man Cui led the people to the fields. Xiaoliu always remembered the task of feeding the chickens and went into the chicken coop. Cui Jingwen found some pieces of paper and rewrote the accounts he had recorded in the afternoon. According to Lin's idea, he drew grids on the paper, which was also the list to be used tomorrow.

Cui Zhaozhao changed her clothes and went to the field. She heard that the soybeans had sprouted, so she wanted to go and take a look.

The house suddenly became quiet. Lin poured a bowl of water, and her weak arms almost spilled the water.

I had been planning to come back and cut some seaweed into strips and take them to the city to sell tomorrow morning, but now I don't even have the strength to hold a knife.

After drinking the bowl of water, Lin put down the bowl and wiped the corner of his mouth.

You can't exhaust yourself before you make any money.

Tomorrow, not only will I need to hire someone to help fill the bowls, but I will also need to find two women with good knife skills to cut the seaweed into shreds.

There were footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

"Boom boom-"

There was a knock on the door from outside, the sound was crisp and clear.

Lin stood up, smoothed her hair, and raised her hand to open the door.

Here, the only one who can knock on the door is Cui Chengliang.

Outside the door, Cui Chengliang was about to leave when he heard the door open behind him.

"Um, I put the water here..."

Cui Chengliang came back jogging, his forehead covered in sweat, and his big hands were stroking his clothes as he spoke.

Lin opened her mouth and wanted to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble, but when the words came to her lips, she felt it was inappropriate and said thank you softly.

"I still have to go to the fields, so I'll leave first." Cui Chengliang looked at Lin deeply and strode out of the yard.

Lin was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, which were not made of good material. No one with a little money in the city would buy them.

But for some reason, the clean and tidy clothes looked very good on Lin. Even without any jewelry, they were eye-catching.

Cui Chengliang walked on the road, his mouth corners unconsciously grinning.

I was alone here before, and it didn’t matter what kind of life I lived, as long as I had something to eat and didn’t starve to death.

But ever since Lin came, I couldn’t explain why, but I suddenly wanted to try my best.

I don't ask for a big house with servants and maids to call around, but at least I can have enough food and clothing, and that's enough.

Besides, he and Lin both came from the same time period and were born from the same breath. He had an obligation to protect her. Even if they were just friends, it would be nice for the two of them to live together and protect each other.

Cui Chengliang hummed a tune and felt as if he had endless energy.

Early the next morning, Lin got up early. Her arms felt like they were filled with lead and it was difficult for her to lift them.

Cui Zhaozhao felt better. After a good sleep, all the fatigue in his body disappeared.

The mother and daughter worked together to make breakfast.

During the meal, Cui Zhaozhao came close to Lin and whispered, "Mom, I bought some blood-activating medicated oil. You can apply some later."

Lin knew she was referring to the shopping mall and nodded with a smile.

"I'll put it back on when I come back later."

Outside the door, Shilang and several other children were waiting early, whispering to each other curiously.

The children were so excited that they couldn't sleep when they thought about their family hiring villagers to work.

When they came back from the fields last night, two women kept praising them, and the children were too embarrassed to even look up.
