Eating melons

"Yes, you can go back to visit your family. Are you ready to go back?"

Now that the autumn harvest is over, they can leave after the cabbages, radishes and other crops are harvested and the work points are settled. It will only take more than a month.

Hearing this, Wei Wei quickly shook her head and said, "I'm not going back. Why would I go back? No one welcomes me there."

As for Wei Wei, that was not her home. She didn't want to go to someone else's house during the New Year. It wasn't like she had no place to stay.

"But you should go back this year."

It's the second year now and I can go back to visit my family. The wintering period is so long that I don't need to do farm work.

Team leader Zhang Xinwang is a pretty nice person. Generally speaking, as long as they don't cause trouble, he won't block them from taking home leave.

Therefore, as long as there are no conflicts with the family and the family can afford it, the Red Star Brigade’s duty officers will generally go back to visit their families.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuemu immediately looked at Wei Wei and said, "Why don't you go back with me to celebrate the New Year this year? You know, my parents, grandparents, uncle and aunt have been wanting me to take you back for a long time."

It would be better to go back and settle their affairs. He always felt that marriage was an unnecessary thing for Wei Wei, and she didn't take it seriously at all, so Xiao Xuemu immediately seized the opportunity as soon as he saw it.

Hearing this, Wei Wei didn't even think about it and immediately shook her head to refuse.

"No, I'm not going anywhere. Taking such a long train ride in the middle of winter is just asking for trouble. I'd rather stay right here and eat, drink, have fun and lie back."

Xiao Xuemu wasn't upset by Wei Wei's rejection. "That's fine, then let's spend the New Year alone this year. I'm finally not toiling away in the space alone this year. I finally have someone to accompany me."

Wei Wei was a little surprised when she heard this, "Aren't you going back?"

"Why go back? I don't know how much time it will take to go back and forth. They all have to go to work, and we won't be able to spend much time together. Not to mention that my parents are still in the northwest, so it's impossible for me to go back for the New Year.

It would be better for the two of us to plant some trees here, sell the fruits, and then deal with the prey in the space.

Otherwise, I will be exhausted when the spring planting comes next year. I think even the old oxen in our team will not be as tired as me.

If I want to get rid of all the prey, I have to get all the machines. Otherwise, I don’t know how long it will take me to kill them all by myself, and the speed at which I kill them may not be enough to keep up with their reproduction speed.

So I still have to work. I can't ask you to pay for all the money for the machine.

Also, if I go back, I will be the only one doing the hard work this year. You know, you have hatched so many eggs and planted so many things. If I go back and do it alone, I will be exhausted.

You hatched it yourself, you grew it yourself, so you should take care of it yourself.

Don’t you always say that if you work hard, you will have enough food and clothing?”

After hearing this, Wei Wei fell silent, not knowing what to say, and felt a sour feeling in her heart.

She knew that Xiao Xuemu's was just an excuse. If he wanted to deal with the things in the space, it would be easier to go to Beijing.

With the huge flow of people in Beijing during the Chinese New Year period, Xiao Xuemu should be able to thrive in the black market if he goes back.

Otherwise, Xiao Xuemu wouldn’t have sneaked back last year.

Also, the money he earns from selling the system on the black market is Xiao Xuemu's own money, and the money he earns from selling the system to her here is hers.

You have to know that although she sold so many things during this period, she never mentioned giving money to Xiao Xuemu. Xiao Xuemu didn't take this matter to heart, and even thought it was natural for her not to give money.

Of course, it may also be because she bought a lot of things, and they were all bought for Xiao Xuemu.

But Wei Wei could also guess the real reason why Xiao Xuemu wanted to stay here for the New Year.

This year she should be the only one celebrating the New Year here. If she could guess it, then Xiao Xuemu could guess it too.

After a moment of silence, Wei Wei suppressed her emotions and looked at Xiao Xuemu in shock.

"My friend, what's going on? I'm helping you enrich the species in your space, but now you want me to do the work for you."

Xiao Xuemu looked at Wei Wei with a half-smile, "So, do you want to sell the things?"

Wei Wei said unconvincedly, "Then I bought a machine. I don't know how many of me a machine is."

Seeing Wei Wei like this, Xiao Xuemu acted like a rogue. "I don't care. You have to work anyway. You can't run away if you're trapped by me. Since you can't run away, just stay and work for me as a farmhand."

Hearing the word "farmhand", Wei Wei rolled her eyes. "You're becoming more and more unscrupulous. Aren't you afraid that others will hear and arrest you?"

Xiao Xuemu said indifferently, "Will they report it there?"

Even if someone heard it and reported it, no one could do anything to him.

Hearing this, Wei Wei snorted, "Humph, of course that depends on your performance."

Xiao Xuemu immediately said in a pretentious manner, "Then I have to behave well. Trouble comes from the mouth, and if I'm not careful, I'll capsize in the ditch. From now on, I have to behave well."

……

When they were almost at a place where there were people, the two of them restrained themselves and stopped talking so recklessly.

When I got home, Jiang Qi and Li Zhibin had already returned and were cooking.

Jiang Qi was washing vegetables outside. Looking at the two of them carrying large and small bags, one could tell that they had a good harvest.

"I've picked up so many things. What are they?"

"Mushrooms, pine cones, and chestnuts."

Jiang Qi asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to buy it from Wu Mei? Why did you pick it up yourself?"

After all, they are different from others. They don’t eat these things every day. It’s enough to just pick up a little bit. Unexpectedly, Wei Wei and Xiao Xuemu actually picked them up every day and picked up so much.

"There are so many of us here. How much can Wu Mei pick up? It's not enough for us to share."

Hearing this, Li Zhibin interrupted, "We probably don't need to buy so much this year, since we're all going home to visit our families."

Jiang Qi was stunned when talking about this. She didn't know whether she should go back to visit her relatives.

If she was alone, she would definitely go back. Although it would feel a little strange and unnatural to get along with the original owner's family, she still had to go back.

After all, the original owner's family was extremely good to both the original owner and her.

If she didn't go back, the original owner's family would be sad and worried. Since she occupied someone else's body, she had to fulfill her responsibilities for that person.

But Wei Wei is different from her. Wei Wei doesn't get along well with her original owner's family, and they have already fallen out. She will definitely not go back.

Given the family conditions of the seven of them, everyone else will definitely go back. Although Wu Mei's family conditions are average, her family loves her very much, so she will definitely go back as well.

If she goes back, Wei Wei will be the only one left here.

Not to mention that Wei Wei would be lonely, she was also worried about her safety.

Although Zhang Xinwang was protecting Wei Wei, there were still many people who were tempted by money and were interested in Wei Wei, so she was a little hesitant and didn't want to go back, but she didn't know what to say to the original owner's family.

Hearing Li Zhibin's words, Xiao Xuemu immediately said, "I won't go back this year."

Hearing this, Li Zhibin asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Some things need to be dealt with."

Li Zhibin thought it was a business matter, "Do you want me to stay?"

Xiao Xuemu shook his head, "No, it's some private matter."

No matter what he did, his relationship with Wei Wei was a private matter, so he didn't lie.

Hearing this, Li Zhibin immediately shut up and didn't ask any further questions.
