Chapter 69 60 The Youngest Daughter of a Farming Family (2)

After Xia Mingwei received all the memories, she finally understood why Xiao Ba had seemed guilty earlier. The original owner of this body was born with congenital deficiencies, and this body also had its own problems.

But now is not the right time to settle scores with Xiao Ba. Thinking of this, Xia Mingwei suppressed her anger and opened her eyes.

It was almost noon, and the sun was blazing. The adults had gone to work in the fields early and hadn't returned yet. Following the original owner's memories, Xia Ming easily found the water bottle in the corner.

Xia Mingwei filled the water bottle, put on her straw hat, and walked towards the fields she remembered.

Reaching the edge of the field, she saw people bent over, working everywhere. Xia Mingwei couldn't immediately spot her parents, so she called out at the top of her lungs, "Father, Mother!"

Hearing their daughter's clear, bright cry, Mr. and Mrs. Xia stopped what they were doing and looked up.

Upon seeing that the person who had arrived was indeed Xia Mingwei, the two quickly dropped their farm tools and went to greet her.

Xia's mother hurried to the edge of the field and came to Xia Mingwei's side. She tugged at Xia Mingwei's straw hat and said with concern, "Daughter, the sun is so strong, what are you doing in the field?"

Hearing her mother's words, Xia Mingwei picked up the water bottle placed at her feet and shook it. Then, she smiled at her mother and said, "It's so hot, I've come to bring water to my parents!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xia's father walked up to him.

Hearing Xia Mingwei's words, the two were deeply moved. But they still stubbornly replied, "If it's not hot for you, Mom and Dad, don't come next time! The sun is so strong, if you get sunburned, Mom and Dad will be heartbroken!"

After saying that, the two urged Xia Mingwei to go home as soon as possible.

Seeing their concerned eyes and hearing their heartwarming words, Xia Mingwei could only obediently nod. She didn't forget to remind her parents, "Then I'll go home first, Mom and Dad. Remember to drink your water!"

Seeing how considerate their daughter was, Xia's father and mother naturally had no objections.

Watching Xia Mingwei's departing figure, the two smiled with a hint of relief. It seems their daughter has grown up and knows how to care for others!

Thinking of this, the two immediately picked up the kettle and started drinking.

In the sweltering summer heat, the sun beats down on the ground, already drawing a lot of moisture from our bodies. At such times, nothing feels better than a sip of ice-cold water that's already been chilled at home!

Mr. Xia gulped down the water in a few big mouthfuls. He rubbed his stomach, smacked his lips, and said to Mrs. Xia, "My dear wife, you're right. Our daughter is so thoughtful!"

Xia's mother gave Xia's father a reproachful look, "Do you even need to tell me? My Mingwei is always so considerate; she's the best girl in the world!"

After drinking the water, the two returned to the field to continue their work.

Just then, someone approached Xia's mother and asked, "Your daughter came to see you just now, what's up?"

"Hey! My Weiwei saw that the sun was too strong and was worried that her dad and I would get tired, so she just came to bring us water!" Xia's mother was eager to show off, so she unconsciously raised her voice.

When people around heard about this, they all praised Xia Mingwei for being sensible.

"That's exactly why I said it! My daughter is so thoughtful and knows how to care for people!"

"That's right, unlike my naughty son, who's never home and doesn't even know to bring water to his parents!"

"Just by looking at your Weiwei, I can tell she's a filial daughter! Aunt Niu is going to have a very happy life from now on!"

"Weiwei is also very pretty. You can tell from now on that she's definitely going to be a beauty! When she grows up, I wonder how many young men she'll charm!"

Although Xia's mother denied it verbally, she was secretly overjoyed.

Of course, there were also some sarcastic and cynical people among them.

"Pah! That sickly girl, who would want to marry her!"

"If you ask me, Aunt Niu isn't very bright! She has only one daughter, and she keeps her at home all day, not letting her work in the fields!"

"That's right, my Dahua is only 9 years old, even younger than her daughter, and she can already earn two work points a day by cutting pig feed!"

"The Xia family must have spent a lot of money to raise this brat! If you ask me, they probably spent a lot of money to keep her alive!"

Of course, they could only say these things in private. If they were to shout them out and Xia's mother heard them, she would definitely fight them to the death and tear their mouths apart.

With his daughter bringing him water today, Mr. Xia seemed to find the time passing less daunting. He felt an inexhaustible energy, and tending to two more acres of land would be no problem.

Of course, these were all just his own wild imaginations! If Xia's mother knew what he was really thinking, she'd definitely give him a few whacks on the head. Why work so hard on public land? Who'll take care of you if you get exhausted?

Time flew by, and as the whistle blew, people stopped what they were doing, returned their farm tools, and went to the scorekeeper to record their work points for the morning.

After finishing all this, Xia's father and mother followed the large group and headed home.

The farmland was still quite a distance from the village, and the people who had been working all morning were already starving. Walking along the road, they could hear many people muttering amongst themselves.

"If you ask me, the commune canteen was the best a few years ago. Thinking about it now, I really miss those days!" As he said this, he smacked his lips, as if reminiscing about that time.

His words were met with a positive response from most people.

"It's so nice to have food right after work without having to cook for yourself!"

"It's a pity that it only lasted a few years before it stopped. If only it could have continued indefinitely!"

"Your family has sixteen or seventeen members. Eating in the cafeteria will give you a lot of advantages, so of course you'd be happy to let it continue!"

"Hey, Granny Wang, are you just being sour grapes? You're jealous of our family's large population because that hen that doesn't lay eggs can't have any babies!" Aunt Li's loud voice immediately called out the person who said this.

Granny Wang was speechless after being rebuked like that. She turned her face away and looked at her daughter-in-law.

Wang Pozi's daughter-in-law shivered as she was stared at by her unfriendly gaze. It seemed her mother-in-law had been provoked again. She came several times a month, and it looked like there would be no peace this time.

Granny Wang grew angrier the more she thought about it, and cursed at her fiercely, "You blind fool, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go home to cook, do you want us to starve to death?!"

Wang Pozi's daughter-in-law nodded hesitantly and ran home quickly without daring to delay.

This scene plays out every now and then, and the villagers have long been used to it.

Xia's mother didn't care about these people's affairs at all. After all, she was in a hurry to get home and cook for her daughter!
