The two of them rested for a while and ate two of the bread rolls they brought with pickles.

The two of them went down to the fields again quickly. Jiang Yuechu felt his waist and legs were more sore and he felt more tired.

No wonder people always say that the first time you work hard, the second time you work harder, and the third time you work harder. It is true that the more you rest, the more tired you feel.

No matter what, this is only the first day. You can’t be so cowardly. Just grit your teeth and carry on!

It was too hot at noon, so the two of them went back to rest for a while! Because of the heat, they only cooked some porridge at noon. Jiang Yuechu felt a little flustered and barely ate anything!

In the afternoon, Jiang Yannan didn't let Jiang Yuechu go again because he knew she couldn't stand it and was afraid that she would get heatstroke!

Jiang Yuechu didn't try to be brave. She did feel a little uncomfortable and dizzy. If she went again in the afternoon, she would probably faint in the field!

Jiang Yuechu took a nap, and when she woke up, it was almost dark. According to the summer time, it was probably around seven or eight o'clock!

Jiang Yannan hasn't come back yet!

Jiang Yuechu thought about it and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

After nearly twenty years of memory, she is actually very unfamiliar with her current home.

I searched the kitchen for a while before I found some flour, then added some water and salt to start kneading the dough. Although there wasn't much flour left at home, I should eat something good to replenish my body after a hard day like today.

She searched the cupboard again and found a small piece of bacon, which should have been left over from the Chinese New Year. She cut a little and fried it in the pot, then added water and boiled it. She put the rolled noodles into the pot, and after boiling it again, the noodles were almost ready!

She suddenly remembered something and hurried to the vegetable garden to pick some onions and put them in the noodles.

Dinner was ready, but Jiang Yannan hadn't come back yet. Jiang Yuechu felt a little uneasy, so she walked out of the house and headed towards the fields.

Aunt Zhang next door saw her and shouted: "It's so late, where are you going Yuechu?"

"My brother went to harvest rice and hasn't come back yet. I'll go check on him!" He said without stopping.

Before I had taken a few steps, I saw a dark shadow slowly walking towards me from afar. When it got closer, I realized that it was Jiang Yannan.

Jiang Yuechu hurried over and supported the exhausted boy. He was only seventeen years old now, and he had to do these things like an adult!

Jiang Yuechu's nose suddenly felt a little sour. She couldn't remember at all how she and Jiang Yannan spent this time in her previous life.

It seemed that he was bitten by a poisonous snake, so he had to ask the villagers to help harvest the rice, and he spent all his last bit of savings.

It was only in this life that I realized how much Jiang Yannan had contributed to this family.

In this case, she should not tie him together with her, someone he does not love. Let him find his own happiness, and she will find her own happiness too.

They will be siblings and family forever, instead of becoming a pair of resentful lovers like in their previous life.

"Brother, why are you working so hard? Just take it slow!"

"I'm fine, finish it quickly, and I'll go to town to find something to do!"

Jiang Yuechu didn't say anything else. She knew that Jiang Yannan must be more anxious than she was.

She carefully supported him and walked slowly towards home.

"What's wrong? I'm fine. It's just too hot. I sweated too much and I feel a little weak!"

Jiang Yuechu silently helped him to the edge of the patio, fetched some well water for him, asked him to wash himself briefly, and brought him some iced mung bean soup from the well.

Then he moved the small dining table to the side of the well, served the noodles and placed them in front of him.

"Yue'er actually cooked dinner? How come I didn't know when she learned to cook? Today's dinner is so sumptuous, I'm in for a treat, I can taste Yue'er's cooking skills!"

Seeing that she seemed really angry, Jiang Yannan deliberately found a topic to liven up the atmosphere.

"Well, Yue'er's cooking skills are really good, it tastes better than what I make!" After saying that, he didn't forget to give her a thumbs up.

Don’t you see how many years she has been cooking!

Jiang Yuechu complained in her heart for a while, but still ignored him. She just lowered her head and ate quietly. After she finished her meal, she took the bowl into the kitchen, took out an egg and handed it to Jiang Yannan.

"I can't eat much, keep it for yourself!"

"If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away!" Jiang Yuechu looked at him coldly, and his voice was also cold.

Jiang Yannan knew that she was still angry with him, so he didn't dare to refuse and took the egg.

Jiang Yuechu then sat on the bamboo chair and looked at the boy very seriously.

"Brother, I have thought about it seriously. I want to rent our two acres of land to the villagers and harvest some rice to feed us.

I want to make some money during the summer vacation so that I can pay for our tuition and food.

Neither of us can do physical work like farming, so why waste time on it?"

"So what plans do you have in mind?" Jiang Yannan whispered while eating noodles, without looking at the girl opposite him, and his face seemed a little embarrassed!

"Now many people are doing it on their own, and the country no longer prohibits it. I think some people in the south have already made a lot of money.

Brother, I don’t want to be trapped in this mountain village for the rest of my life…”

"Don't worry, I won't let you be trapped here forever. I will let you go to college even if I don't go to school!" Jiang Yannan interrupted her and said seriously.

"That's not what I meant. We both have to go to school. Even if we can't get into college, learning more knowledge will always be helpful for the future.

Farming here can only provide us with enough food and clothing, it is impossible for us to study without any worries.

I want to go out and earn money during the winter and summer vacations.

It’s definitely not possible this year, but we are close to the town and can sell some things there. Although we are not as open as the south, private transactions are not as strictly controlled as in the past.”

"What do you want to sell? Who do you want to sell it to? Have you thought about these?" Jiang Yannan also seriously considered her words at this time!

"Of course! But it's just an idea now! Let's discuss it after we finish the housework!"

Also, you have to take a rest tomorrow. If you collapse, what will I do alone? "

Jiang Yannan thought about it and decided not to argue with her anymore.

The next day, both of them slept until noon.

Jiang Yannan felt a little embarrassed when he got up. He had never gotten up so late before. He was indeed too tired yesterday!

Five days later, the work in the field was finally done, except that the late rice seedlings had not yet been planted. The two decided to see if they could sell something first, and if so, they would rent out the field directly!

After taking a shower, Jiang Yannan came to the main room with something wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand.

"Yue'er, come out for a moment!"

The person who had just been lying in bed to cool off for a while had no choice but to come out again when he heard the screams!

"What's wrong, brother?" She was sitting at the door of the main room. There was a bit of a draft here, which was much cooler than the room!

"Here's some money and tickets, keep them! When you go to town tomorrow, you can bring back some meat and rice!"

"Aren't you going?" Jiang Yuechu asked him while waving a palm-leaf fan.

"Of course I'm going. How can I be at ease with you alone?"

"Then why did you leave it here with me? Just keep it! Okay, I'm going to sleep, remember to call me tomorrow morning!" Jiang Yuechu said without waiting for his answer and walked straight towards the room.

Without the alarm clock, she couldn't get up in the morning. They didn't have chickens, so they couldn't even rely on the live alarm clock. The rooster next door was too far away to wake her up.

In the end, we can only count on Jiang Yannan.

When she has money in the future, the first thing she will buy is an alarm clock!

It seemed that she never relied on an alarm clock in her previous life, and she lived her life as usual. Why did she feel like she couldn't live without an alarm clock in this life?

She didn't figure it out herself and fell asleep in a daze!
