The next day, Xie Lian and Xie Shu went to the shop with the other children. Xie Songlin summoned his very useful little spy daughter Xie Wanxing.

He told Xie Wanxing what happened last night and then reminded her, "Just keep an eye on them when you have nothing to do. It would be even better if you can find out what they want to do. Understand?"

Xie Wanxing shook his head frantically: "I don't understand."

Xie Songlin glared at her. Xie Wanxing sighed, "Dad, why are you asking me to get information again? Am I your camera? I was watching to see if the brothers were not studying hard, and now I'm watching to see if the sisters are up to anything."

"I'm not afraid that your second aunt will ask them to do something to upset your second uncle." Xie Songlin rubbed his daughter's shoulders. "And after all, this matter is mostly because of you."

"Why is it me again?"

"Why isn't it you? Your second sister refused to come no matter how much she called her. And you just took out a big gold chain a few days ago, which really upset her, and now she's here right away?" Xie Songlin pushed all the responsibility onto his daughter and said shamelessly, "I don't care. You caused this, so you have to clean it up."

"Okay, I'll clean it up, I'll clean it up." Xie Wanxing muttered and walked away.

After Xie Shu came, Xie Wanxing could no longer occupy the big table by herself. She had to give half of the table to Xie Shu.

Xie Shu sat next to her, looking at the book in front of her with a blank face. She didn't understand a word of what Shen Yuxi said. She could only shake Xie Wanxing's arm for help: "Little sister, what is this teacher talking about?"

"You got the wrong book. It's this one." Xie Wanxing changed the book in her hand and opened it to the page that Shen Yuxi was talking about.

"You understand all this?" Xie Shu looked shocked.

Xie Wanxing comforted Xie Shu: "Well, you just arrived, so let the teacher slowly catch up with you in the future. You can learn slowly and there is no need to rush to catch up with them."

Xie Shu agreed nervously. Her heart was filled with anxiety and hesitation. She was still a little confused about the matter of studying. In fact, she didn't really want to go to school. In her opinion, she would get married anyway, so learning these useless things would be better than learning a good skill so that she could have a good life in the future.

On the other side, Xie Lian and Xie Rou were making tea in the kitchen. This job was not difficult because the material packages were all tied up with gauze by Xie Songlin in advance. Various teas and ingredients were neatly wrapped in gauze, which was convenient and hygienic. The main thing was to keep an eye on the time.

When making milk tea, one only needs to control the heat a little bit, which is not a difficult task. Xie Lian is smart and thoughtful, and she learned most of it in just one morning.

Moreover, the ones working together are sisters from the family, as well as young wives from the village. Xie Feng's wife, Lin, also comes to help in the kitchen after setting up the stall. Including the Qiuyue sisters who make cakes, there are many girls of the same age in the kitchen.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of milk tea and cakes, and the girls were chatting and laughing together. Xie Lian felt that this day was much happier than she had imagined. Here, she felt a sense of ease and happiness she had never felt before. Although Liu no longer dared to beat or scold her sisters, she was still mostly annoyed with Liu because she had been bullied for so long in the past. She even regretted why she didn't come here in the first place.

Xie Wanxing observed the two sisters for a few days and did not find any problems, but she found that Xie Shu did not want to study very much. After Shen Yuxi finished teaching others, he would give her a private review of the previous knowledge. She could not even recognize three words a day. She remembered them yesterday, but she was bored and forgot them the next day. This went on and on, so naturally she did not learn anything.

Xie Songlin: "It's fine as long as they don't cause trouble. They can do whatever they want."

Xie Wanxing shook his head: "But I think Xie Shu is a little resistant to studying. Maybe it was my second aunt who forced her to come."

"Don't worry about them for now. The autumn harvest is coming soon. Your uncles and the others will go to the fields to work. But fortunately, everyone in the store is familiar with their positions now, so it's okay if they leave for a while." Xie Songlin touched his chin, "Do you think we should buy a few plots of land to grow something?" The land Xie Songlin was allocated earlier was sold by the original owner, and now Xie Songlin doesn't have a single piece of land.

"Okay, what do you want to plant?"

"What do you mean?"

Xie Wanxing frowned: "I've never farmed before, Dad."

"I haven't even thought about the autumn harvest yet. I've been too busy before. All the food in our restaurant is now bought from outside. Why don't we buy some land to grow our own food and vegetables? That way, we can reduce costs in the future." Xie Songlin began to think. "Besides, I want to open a chain of restaurants in the future. I can't do without my own farmland. I can arrange it first."

"I won't be here to study in a couple of days. I'm going to the countryside to see my uncle and his family harvesting. If Brother Qinghe comes looking for me, please remember to tell him."

Xie Songlin snorted: "Brother Qinghe, brother Qinghe, that brat is much younger than you!"

"I'm only five years old now! You must remember your father clearly!" Xie Wanxing rolled his eyes at his father.

"You're skipping classes again. How can you catch up if you keep skipping classes like this?"

"Dad, you really treat me like a five-year-old. Xie Lan can't even recognize as many words as I do. Stop worrying about me."

"Didn't you just say you were only five years old?"

"..."

So Xie Wanxing didn't come the next day. She slept in at home. When she woke up, it was already past lunch. She went into the space to find some milk and bread to eat and then planned to go to Old Lady Shen's place.

She had lived in the city since she was a child and had never seen farmers harvesting large quantities of grain. Now she came to see it for herself. Of course, she was not going empty-handed. Her third uncle made her a small cart that was almost as tall as her. She planned to push a small bucket of sour plum soup to give to her uncle and others.

Just as Old Mrs. Shen was about to go out, she saw her little granddaughter pushing a small wooden barrel and waving at her from a distance.

"Grandma! I'm coming!"

Old Lady Shen watched her adorable little granddaughter walk quickly towards her, her heart filled with joy, but she scolded him, "Little Ancestor, why are you here when you're not playing in the shop in the city?"

"Grandma, I want to go see my uncle and his family harvesting grain. Please take me with you." Xie Wanxing pointed to the cart in her hand, "I brought some sour plum soup."

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there." She reached out to help Xie Wanxing push the cart. The small wheels rolled slowly on the dirt road, making a slight sound. The two of them pushed the cart and walked towards their own fields.

The people busy in the wheat fields were all villagers from Xiejia Village. Xie Songbai and several others were waving sickles and harvesting wheat skillfully. Xie Yong was there too. He didn't like studying, and when he heard that the autumn harvest was about to start, he immediately requested to stop studying and help at home. Xie Lin was very envious because his family had no land and he had no place to work.

Xie Wanxing shouted loudly: "Uncle!"

Xie Songbai and others heard the sound, looked up, and saw Xie Wanxing and Old Lady Shen standing by the wheat field.

"Why are the stars here?" Xie Songbai waved at them. "It's hot in the fields. You and grandma should stand further away to avoid getting sunburned."

"Uncle, I'm not hot." Xie Wanxing said happily, "I brought you some sour plum soup, come and drink it."

Xie Songbai nodded and called others over. After a while, Xie Baiyang, Xie Baimu and others came over here with sickles on their shoulders and heavy steps. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, but fortunately they were made of linen, which was breathable and sweat-absorbent, bringing them some comfort in this hot weather.
