Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

Lu Ming delivers two baskets of hawthorns to her home every day.

Currently, Xu Manman owes Lü Ming thirty strings of hawthorns.

When Xu Manman came down the mountain, Han Shaohua was so tired that he wanted to just lie down on the ground.

These past few days, he's been helping Xu Manman with chores, which is even more tiring than when he went out for training. He can clearly feel that his face has become smaller; he must have lost weight.

No, I won't come tomorrow.

Even the donkeys in the production team need rest, no matter how hard they work every day.

Seeing that Han Shaohua looked utterly hopeless, Xu Manman asked him with a smile.

"Comrade, will you come again tomorrow?"

Han Shaohua suppressed his tired face and revealed a gentle expression: "Manman, you can call me by my name, don't call me 'comrade' so formally."

"Oh, what's your name again?"

Liu Boyu introduced her once, but Xu Manman didn't remember it and never asked for his name again.

Han Shaohua's smile froze on his face, and he stood there dumbfounded as if he had been struck by lightning.

He's been so attentive to Xu Manman for so long, doing chores for her every day, yet Xu Manman doesn't even know his name?

Han Shaohua, who had never stumbled with a woman before, experienced the bitter taste of hitting a brick wall for the first time.

Liu Minhua overheard others talking about Xu Manman being accompanied by a military officer, and feeling both jealous and curious, she couldn't help but come over to take a look.

He saw Xu Manman fawning over Han Shaohua and instantly became furious.

Xu Manman is shameless. She chatted and laughed with other men in front of Brother Huainan. She has no sense of shame.

Xu Manman didn't think much of it. She picked up her basket, caught a glimpse of Liu Minhua out of the corner of her eye, but ignored her and went straight into her own yard.

Looking at the garden full of wild mushrooms, I felt very satisfied.

Not bad, not bad. So many wild mushrooms. If you keep them in your space, you can eat them for two or three years.

Xu Manman really loves the space she has since she got it.

She cooked the meal and put it in her spatial storage; when she took it out, it was still hot.

Since she gained access to the space, she has never eaten cold, dry food again.

Hot water is the same; after digging for mushrooms on the mountain for half a day, eating a hot one is simply too comforting.

In addition, the space's preservation function allowed her to enjoy food freely.

She tried it, and this space can also hold living things, but once they go in, they remain still.

She couldn't go inside, but she could manipulate things inside the space with her mind.

Yesterday, she discovered a nest of wild rabbits and immediately stored them in her online space.

Peeling and chopping with a kitchen knife is incredibly simple.

It took Han Shaohua a long time to come to his senses. He couldn't accept that he had tried to seduce a village girl he didn't even like, and then failed.

This realization was like a bolt from the blue.

For the first time, Han Shaohua doubted his own charm.

"Hello, comrade."

Han Shaohua turned around and met Liu Minhua's bright eyes and shy expression.

That's the right expression.

He finally realized what was wrong with Xu Manman; she had never shown any shyness in front of him.

Han Shaohua doubted whether his charm had truly diminished.

He composed himself and gave Liu Minhua a tender and affectionate look.

"Hello comrade, my name is Han Shaohua."

Liu Minhua grew up in a village where she only saw men who did farm work all day. Now, when she suddenly met a gentleman with good manners, she immediately felt that he was different from others.

She spoke shyly, "Hello, Comrade Han. I see you standing here. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Han Shaohua patted his chest. Thank goodness, thank goodness, his charm was still there.

He smiled and shook his head, his face full of integrity: "I am the People's Liberation Army soldier, it should be me helping you."

The two walked and talked, gradually disappearing into the distance...

Xu Manman is processing hawthorns in the kitchen.

She promised Lü Ming today that she would make him a string of candied hawthorns, and that the remaining 29 strings could be saved for later.

Before dinner, Lü Ming ran over. Xu Manman was still making sugar. Lü Ming walked over and saw Xu Manman roll the skewered hawthorns in the syrup, and they came out as candied hawthorns.

It's exactly the same, and it ate even more candy than Da Hu.

Xu Manman explained, "It can be eaten after it's been aired out."

Lu Ming sat on the side, waiting expectantly.

Xu Manman thought he was very well-behaved, so she took two pieces of fruit candy and handed them to Lü Ming.

These are the candy coupons the publisher gave her. She bought half a pound of milk candy and half a pound of fruit candy.

Lu Ming and Xu Manman had become familiar with each other, so Lu Ming accepted the fruit candy and thanked her.

Xu Manman told him, "These hawthorns won't last long after they're picked. If you can't eat that many candied hawthorns these next few days, I'll make them into hawthorn preserves and give you a few bottles."

"However, this requires a glass. If you have one at home, you can bring it over."

After thinking about it, Lü Ming agreed.

"Then I'll have a string of candied hawthorns every day from now on, and make the rest into hawthorn preserves for me."

That way we can eat for longer.

Xu Manman agreed.

After dinner, Aunt Lin came over to inform Xu Manman: "The harvest is over, and tomorrow is the day to distribute the grain."

"If you need food, go to the brigade to buy it tomorrow."

That evening, Xu Manman and Fei Huainan discussed buying grain.

In fact, they had enough food to eat, but on the surface, the two of them had no place to get food, so they decided to buy some food from the brigade.

The two of them waited until the afternoon before going the next day.

The grain was distributed to families who had work points, but her family didn't, so they had to wait until the very end.

Upon seeing the two people, the village chief immediately said, "The village doesn't have much grain, so we can't sell it to you."

Aunt Lin hadn't left yet; she had her eldest son push a cart here, waiting to deliver grain to Fei Huainan and Xu Manman.

Hearing the village chief's words, she couldn't help but speak up: "Village chief, Old Zhang's two sons have moved their household registration to the county, and they also bought an extra two hundred catties of grain!"

“The Zhang family has work points, and they didn’t say they would buy it for their son, so I naturally have to prioritize those who work. As for those who don’t work, they have to figure it out themselves.”

That's how it is in the village; if the village chief says he won't sell, no one else can sell to Xu Manman and Fei Huainan.

Aunt Lin was angry.

These people are really bullying us. Every year the Zhang family buys grain for their two sons, and the village chief has never said they wouldn't sell it to them.

Fei Huainan's face darkened, but Xu Manman remained composed.

"Auntie, since the village chief won't sell it, let's just go back!"

After Fei Huainan and Xu Manman's group walked away.

Li Wu walked up to the village chief with a big smile: "Uncle, thank you so much for your help this time."

The village chief looked pleased: "We're all one family, no need for such formalities."

"But is Fei Huainan really alright?"

Thinking about the other person's previous position, the village chief felt a little uncertain.

Li Wu looked completely unconcerned.

"Fei Huainan is a useless piece of trash now; he can't cause any trouble."

"Moreover, he offended a big shot he shouldn't have. It's a big shot who wants to get rid of him. If we kill him, not only will no one blame us, but we can also curry favor with that big shot."

"As for who this important person is, I cannot reveal it, but even Fei Huainan in the past could not compare to this person's family background."

The village chief suddenly felt more confident. He glanced at his nephew, who seemed to have caught the eye of an important person.

However, this is a great thing for the Li family.

The village chief looked excited.

"If you need anything in the future, just tell your uncle, and he'll help you."

"Fei Huainan is a cripple, penniless and without food. They're going to suffer this winter."
