Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

She didn't wash the clothes but hung them on the clothesline in the yard. The marks on the clothes were particularly noticeable.

When the team leader returned to the village office, he asked people to continue keeping an eye on Liu Hong.

Fu Tiezhu returned home feeling restless and absent-minded. When he cooked, he either added too much water or forgot to cover the pot.

Fu Youtian noticed that something was wrong with Fu Tiezhu, "Tiezhu, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, Grandpa is fine." Tiezhu replied hurriedly.

"It's all right. Look at what you've done?" Fu Youtian pointed at the rice pot. The rice and water in the pot were clearly visible.

"I," Fu Tiezhu put down the vegetable washing box in his hand.

"Tiezhu, is there anything you can't tell grandpa?" Fu Youtian continued to ask.

"Grandpa, it's nothing. Maybe he's too tired." Fu Tiezhu made an excuse.

"Did you have a conflict with Cong Cong?" Fu Youtian ignored his grandson's answer and continued asking.

"No, I'm really tired." Fu Tiezhu answered again with emphasis.

"You are kidding me. Didn't you not go to Yu's house for a meal when you came back last time? Why did you come back directly this time without going to Yu's house? Tell me! Did you have a conflict? Tell me, and grandpa will help you."

"Grandpa, I, I said, don't be angry." Fu Tiezhu said cautiously.

"Well, you're afraid that I'll be angry. It seems the matter is very serious." Fu Youtian said seriously.

"Grandpa, this is what happened." Fu Tiezhu told how he was rescued by Su Zhiqing, how Su Zhiqing asked him for help, and his strange behavior towards Su Zhiqing.

Fu Youtian looked at his grandson with disdain. "If you have changed your mind, then you have changed your mind. What excuses are you looking for?"

"Grandpa, why don't you believe it?" Fu Tiezhu was speechless.

"Well, it's hard to believe," said Fu Youtian.

Fu Tiezhu lowered his head, dejected and silent.

When Fu Youtian saw Tiezhu's expression, he realized that he had misunderstood Tiezhu and what he said might be true.

Fu Youtian patted Fu Tiezhu on the shoulder and took over the cooking job.

"Box, where is the original book's plot at? How much progress have I made in completing the main quest?"

"Host, the original book's plot is already halfway through. The heroine has come into conflict with the hero in order to seek revenge. The main quest is to stop the heroine from turning evil and prevent the world from being destroyed. The completion rate is 50%."

"Well, the progress is a bit slow. Maybe the way we handle it is not right."

"Host, there shouldn't be any problem. Next, we need to resolve the conflict between the male and female protagonists, stop the female protagonist from turning evil, and then get rid of Liu Hong, the female supporting character who catalyzes the plot."

"Really? I always feel like the heroine doesn't change her mind that easily."

"Host, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The data shows that there is nothing wrong. We just need to follow the steps and we will definitely solve it satisfactorily."

"Oh, how's the side quest of collecting national treasures going?"

"Host, you have completed less than 5% of this task."

"How could this be?"

"Host, this task is really difficult. Think about it, the country is so vast, it is impossible that only your small county has the country's precious treasures destroyed. There must be many other places like our small county."

"Well, we have to speed up the construction of factories and expand the soy sauce industry so that we have a chance to move beyond the small county."

Yu Congcong was lying on the bed, checking the progress of the task with the system.

Time flies, and the village welcomes the autumn harvest. The people Liu Hong and Su Ting wanted to attract did not come out, and the busy farming season came. Because a soy sauce factory was built in the village, some people became workers. The busy farming tasks in the village were much heavier than in previous years, and the team leader was very strict, so the educated youth no longer had the opportunity to be lazy and slack off.

The idle young people in the village were kept under a close watch by the team leader, who did not give them any chance at all.

At Yu Congcong's house, Aunt Liu and Grandma were so tired that they lost weight and darkened. Yu Congcong felt very distressed and planned to go to town to buy some meat for them. Before dawn, Yu Congcong got up early, planning to go to town early so that he could come back in the morning to make lunch. When he opened the gate, there was a backpack at the door, which contained a rabbit and a pheasant. Yu Congcong looked around and found Tiezhu standing behind a big tree beside the path.

Yu Congcong said nothing and went into the house with the backpack. Yu Congcong quickly cleaned the rabbit and pheasant. She prepared to make the rabbit into spicy rabbit and stew the pheasant with some fresh mushrooms.

Yu Congcong looked at the time and thought it was still early, so he picked up his backpack and prepared to go to the back hillside to pick some wild mushrooms.

After Yu Congcong entered the house, Tiezhu went home. He went to work every day instead of his grandfather. His grandfather didn't want to be idle, so he did some easy work, such as cutting grass for the cows and mules. The life of the grandfather and his grandfather was not bad, not very tiring. Tiezhu would go hunting after work, and the family's meals were also very delicious. Tiezhu sent prey to Yu Congcong several times, but Yu Congcong arranged for Yu Miaomiao to send it back.

Today, Yu Congcong took the food into the house, but he did not leave because he was afraid that Yu Congcong would be sent out again. He had been waiting behind the tree, and when he saw Yu Congcong coming out with the basket on her back, he hurried out and said, "Congcong, keep it for yourself! I picked a lot."

Yu Congcong looked at Fu Tiezhu who came out and said, "Why did you dare to come out? I thought we would never see each other again."

"Congcong, you are not angry, you are willing to see me." Fu Tiezhu said in surprise.

Yu Congcong smiled and said, "I am angry, but it's not to the point of never seeing each other again."

"Congcong, I don't want to cancel the engagement. I really haven't changed my mind, nor do I like two people at the same time. You have always been the only one in my heart." Fu Tiezhu confessed anxiously.

"But you will still help Su Zhiqing involuntarily. When Su Zhiqing is around, you can't see others. Zhiqing can break your original principles." Yu Congcong said with a smile, a trace of sadness on her face.

"I, I..." Fu Tiezhu was speechless.

"You don't have to explain, I understand." Yu Congcong smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness on her face.

"No, Congcong, give me some time, I will definitely overcome this strange phenomenon." Fu Tiezhu said.

"Tiezhu, don't force it. I will give us time. Just follow your heart. Even if we can't be husband and wife, we are still brother and sister, childhood friends, and partners who grew up together." Yu Congcong comforted the excited Fu Tiezhu.

"Tiezhu, I'm going to pick some mushrooms, you go to work!" Yu Congcong changed the subject.

"Oh," Fu Tiezhu saw that Yu Congcong had misunderstood him. It had been a while since the start of work and he couldn't delay any longer.

I could only nod, and reluctantly turned around to go to work, walking backwards, looking back every two steps. "Cong Cong, believe me, I will definitely find the reason."

Yu Congcong looked at Tiezhu with a smile and nodded without saying anything.

Fu Tiezhu turned around and saw Yu Congcong nodding before leaving.

Yu Congcong carried a person on his back and walked towards the back mountain, "Host, do you want to forgive Fu Tiezhu?"
