The car was driving on the dirt road, raising a cloud of dust wherever it passed.

There are endless fields on both sides of the road.

Qin Song drove the car without turning his head and said, "Based on the current situation, we should be there tomorrow, right?"

Jiang Yan sat in the passenger seat, one hand resting on the window, feeling the warm breeze brushing against his face. He squinted his eyes and looked at the winding road ahead. "Yeah, almost there. We should be there tomorrow afternoon!"

After driving for a while, the car had to pass through a not very stable section of road. The wheels were bumping on the bumpy road, making a creaking sound.

Qin Song tried hard to control the steering wheel and keep the car as stable as possible.

During the bumpy ride, Qin Song frowned and complained, "I don't know when these roads will be repaired. Every time I drive on this kind of road, I feel like my bones are about to fall apart!"

Along the way, Jiang Yan had heard Qin Song complain about the weather and road conditions many times. When he heard it again, he felt calm and just looked into the distance through the front window.

Qin Song knew Jiang Yan's character, and he didn't expect to hear words of comfort from Jiang Yan, or to resonate with him and join in his complaints.

Jiang Yan didn't completely ignore Qin Song, and talked to him from time to time. In Qin Song's words, the car was too quiet and he was easily sleepy.

When passing by a small village, there were a few children playing at the entrance.

When the children saw the car coming, they stopped playing and looked around curiously.

Qin Song saw their gazes, blew a whistle, and waved to the group of children.

When the children saw Qin Song waving at them, they immediately smiled brightly and jumped up and down in response to his greeting.

As the car whizzed past, Qin Song sighed, "Children are still so cute!"

Jiang Yan glanced at Qin Song and said, "You are almost old enough to start a family now. If you like children, you can consider getting married early and having a baby!"

Qin Song pursed his lips and said, "Forget it. I don't have time to meet any girls right now."

Jiang Yan continued, "Didn't your family arrange anything for you?"

"Hmph, if I really let them introduce me to someone, who knows what kind of person they'd be. I wouldn't bother marrying someone who's not clear-headed. Even if she's good, it's not easy for me to go out alone in my current situation. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her with the whole family, so I won't harm her!"

Every family has its own problems, so Jiang Yan didn't say too much.

Qin Song was too lazy to continue the topic and asked, "Should we stay in the car for the night or find a hotel to rest for the night?"

Even if we slept in a hotel, we had to take turns sleeping. With such a large truck of goods, we couldn't let it out of our sight.

Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "In this weather, let's just spend the night in the car!"

Qin Song didn't care. "That's fine. Let's find a place to buy some food."

Jiang Yan said "hmm" softly, and the car continued to move forward.

After finishing work, Shen Xiaoxia handed in the farm tools as usual and went straight back.

But instead of walking quickly as usual, he chose to walk back slowly.

The farm work at this time is not particularly heavy, mainly turning the soil, weeding, watering, fertilizing and pest control.

The sun is just too strong. Even if she doesn't get tanned, her skin will still hurt from the sun.

Shen Xiaoxia's originally fair face was sunburned red, and a few strands of hair were soaked with sweat, sticking to her forehead and cheeks.

The coarse cloth clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his back.

Shen Xiaoxia took off her straw hat and wiped the sweat from her face and neck with the towel hanging around her neck.

Fanning himself with his straw hat, he walked back.

Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling in front must have met on their way home from work, and were now walking side by side.

Shen Xiaoxia hurried forward and caught up with them, "Zhu Xin, Ling Ling..."

Han Zhuxin turned around and saw Shen Xiaoxia, and said jokingly with a smile, "Hey! Xia Xia, you're a little slow today!"

Usually when they go back, Shen Xiaoxia has already arrived for a while. Just now when Han Zhuxin met Zhao Lingling, she was still talking about it. She thought Shen Xiaoxia must have gone back, but she didn't expect that she was still behind them.

Shen Xiaoxia chuckled twice, "I can't run so fast every time, right? Today I want to walk back slowly!"

The three of them walked back chatting and laughing all the way.

The sun had just set and the sky was still bright. Shen Xiaoxia asked Han Zhuxin, "Zhuxin, do you want to go to the mountain to collect some firewood?"

Since going to the countryside, Zhao Lingling has never taken care of the firewood problem. Her brother Zhao Fan was responsible for it, and she was responsible for cooking and cleaning. Shen Xiaoxia never asked her about it.

Han Zhu thought for a moment and shook his head. "I won't go today. There's still a lot left in the kitchen. It can last for two or three days. I'll go after I use it up. I'm too lazy to run!"

Shen Xiaoxia didn't have much firewood left, and she wasn't very tired today, so she planned to go pick up some firewood. If Han Zhuxin didn't go, she could choose to get more and then store some in the space.

I went back to drink some water, then took a short rest and went up the mountain!

There were many adults and children at the foot of the mountain, also picking up firewood. Shen Xiaoxia did not go where there were people. After all, the place was big, so there was no need to worry about not having a place to pick up firewood.

Thinking that she might need to collect the firewood into the space later, Shen Xiaoxia walked a little further away and ran some distance up the mountain. She needed to use the space, so it was still not safe at the foot of the mountain.

After finding a place and looking around to make sure there was no one around, Shen Xiaoxia began to pick up dead branches and tree trunks, no matter how big or small, and put them into the space. There was enough space anyway!

Suddenly, a grayish-white figure flashed past his eyes. "What is that?"

At first I thought it was a rabbit, but looking at how fast it ran, it didn’t look like a rabbit!

The body reacted faster than the brain. By the time Shen Xiaoxia realized it, she had already started chasing after him.

The little thing seemed to be playing with Shen Xiaoxia. Several times when Shen Xiaoxia thought she had lost it, it would jump out from not far away!

After repeating this several times, Shen Xiaoxia felt that she was stupid. Why was she chasing it?

If she could chase and eat a rabbit, she wouldn't dare to eat any other unknown thing, right?

And I've exhausted myself!

Shen Xiaoxia took out a glass of water from the space and drank it. Her throat felt a little tight from the chase.

Shen Xiaoxia looked around. Well, regardless of anything else, at least she could pick up a lot of firewood.

She was too lazy to think about what the little thing was and continued to pick up firewood.

There was a fallen dead tree not far away, the kind that was whole. Shen Xiaoxia walked over to take a look, tried it out, and thought it was good. She put it into the space and chopped it down slowly. It should take quite a while.

After the dead tree was put into the space, probably because of the lack of its support, many of the surrounding rocks and soil were affected and slid down.

Shen Xiaoxia quickly moved to the side to avoid being hit.

Just as Shen Xiaoxia was about to leave, she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a hole over there!
