He Ping was shocked that the usually amiable He Qiaoyun would be so disrespectful to him, and his face turned green with anger.

Sitting next to He Qiaoyun, Sister Xia tugged at her and whispered, "Say less..."

He Qiaoyun used to always swallow her anger and keep quiet. Others thought she was amiable, but in fact, she lived a very repressed life.

Nothing is more important than feeling good right now. Even if things get really bad, she won't die. Besides, she's not even afraid of death, so why would she be afraid of a toad commenting on humanity?

Some people at the table were worried about her, while others were just watching the show and hoping they would start arguing.

In front of so many people, He Ping couldn't very well get angry at her, a woman, as it would seem petty. So he could only say dryly, "Meeting."

Today's meeting task is pruning.

Because the grapes are sold to large supermarkets, we have to take this seriously in order to ensure next year's yield.

They couldn't do the job well with just a few people, so as in previous years, they hired part-time workers.

He Qiaoyun sat in front of the shed, waiting and waiting. People came to the other farmers' sheds and worked hard, but her shed remained deserted.

Sister Xia walked towards her, looked at the deserted scene in front of her door, and sighed helplessly.

"Why did you have to argue with him just now? You know that's just how he is. Getting insulted won't hurt him."

He Qiaoyun still showed no remorse. "Is it right to always be like this? I've disliked him for a long time."

Sister Xia immediately became anxious, "You acted rashly, but the supermarket's supply contract is signed annually. If you offend him, he might just whisper to the supermarket staff that they don't want your fruit anymore. What will you do with the fruit from your ten acres of land?"

He Qiaoyun didn't care at all, "If he doesn't buy it, there are plenty of fruit vendors who will come to buy it."

Seeing her like this, Sister Xia was exasperated. "Why can't you listen to me? Those fruit vendors are the best at driving down prices. Can they offer more than the supermarkets? Go apologize to him right now."

He Qiaoyun smiled, "Sister Xia, I appreciate your kindness, but words spoken cannot be taken back. Why should I humiliate myself further? You should go back and do your own thing. I need to find some people to prune the branches."

Sister Xia sighed helplessly, "Ugh, really..."

Hejia Village is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with fresh air and dazzling sunshine that sprinkles gold, making it a truly beautiful place.

I originally planned to hire someone to prune the trees, but I unconsciously forgot about it while taking a walk.

I came to a reservoir and was captivated by its beauty.

The reservoir's banks resemble leaping parabolas, surrounded by undulating expanses of lush green grass, like a green carpet spread out, nestled against the surrounding mountains, creating a dreamlike, verdant wonderland.

Suddenly, a loud cry broke the surrounding silence.

She turned her head and saw a little girl in a pink dress splashing in the water. Startled, she rushed over immediately. Ignoring the cold water in winter, she took off her coat, jumped into the water, picked up the little girl, and dragged her back to the muddy bank with all her might.

The little girl, still shaken, threw herself into her arms, crying and screaming.

She wiped her muddy hands on the grass, then patted the little girl's back and gently asked, "Did you get water in your ears, nose, or mouth?"

The little girl shook her head, looking aggrieved.

She forced a smile and gently coaxed, "Whose child are you? How did you end up here all by yourself?"

Today, the cooperative hired people to prune the grapevines, and everyone crowded into the greenhouse. Plus, the weather was cold, so even fewer people came here.

"Luckily, I had nothing to do." She put the little girl down and stood up, supporting her aching back.

Luckily, she's been spending all her time at the gym or doing square dancing lately, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to drag this girl ashore.

The little girl's tears still streamed down her face.

He Qiaoyun took off the little girl's soaked down jacket, then picked up her own wool coat, which she had only worn once, and used it to wipe the little girl's body. "What's your name?"

The little girl wiped away her tears and said, "Feng Tiantian."

He Qiaoyun coaxed her, "Little Tian Tian, ​​why did you want to play by the reservoir?"

"There are fish, I want to catch fish."

Helpless, He Qiaoyun wrung out her wet down jacket and said, "Wasn't that dangerous? If Auntie hadn't passed by, you might never have seen your mom and dad again."

Tian Tian nodded seriously, and large tears streamed down her face.

He Qiaoyun earnestly instructed, "Promise Auntie you won't go to the reservoir to play alone anymore, okay?"

"it is good."

He Qiaoyun folded her coat in half and let Tian Tian wrap it around herself, then picked up her down jacket, saying, "I'll take you home."

Tian Tian remained motionless for a long time, and He Qiaoyun asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

“A shoe.” Tian Tian pointed to a shoe floating on the water.

He Qiaoyun then noticed that she was barefoot on one foot. She smiled wryly and said, "It's too far. Auntie can't reach you. Let me carry you back. We can buy new shoes, but it's not good if you catch a cold."

Tian Tian nodded obediently, "Mmm."

Her old house was a bit far away, and after walking a short distance, she couldn't carry the child anymore, so she had to keep lifting him up.

Tian Tian seemed to sense her mother's difficulty and said very sensibly, "Auntie, I can get down and walk by myself..."

"No, it wouldn't be good if you hurt your foot again. By the way, whose child are you?"

Tian Tian shook her head blankly, unable to speak for a long time.

He Qiaoyun had no choice but to carry her home despite her own exhaustion.

This three-story villa with front and back yards was built by my parents. It aroused the envy and jealousy of many neighbors. After my parents retired, they came back to live here for a few years before passing away one after the other.

A house needs people around it. After my parents passed away, the house became empty. Even though it was built later than the neighbor's house, it looked like an old man entering his twilight years, all dusty and dirty.

She only stays for a short period of time when she comes back to work in the orchard.

Tian Tian looked around at the house, which seemed devoid of any life, and stood in the yard, too afraid to go in.

He Qiaoyun greeted her, "Come in quickly, Auntie will go find you some clothes to change into."

Her parents had her late in life, and she was their only daughter, so they doted on her three children. The two elders used to live on the first floor, and they renovated the second floor into rooms for the three children, while the third floor was given to her and Xu Hui to live on.

She went to the kitchen first, plugged in the kettle, and boiled a pot of water. Then she went upstairs to her daughter's old room, took a set of her daughter's old clothes from when she was a child, and went downstairs.

Although the little girl was scared, she didn't leave. Instead, she sat motionless on the swing in the yard.

The afternoon sun was warm, but it still felt cold on my skin.

He Qiaoyun took out a basin and a clean towel, poured boiling water into the basin, thinking of wiping Tian Tian's body and changing her into clean clothes.

After testing the water temperature, she invited Tian Tian into the house.
