In this competition, Cheng Xiujie once again frustrated Huo Yanxing's spirit in order to show off his personal charm.

After the competition, I was so angry that I gritted my teeth when I saw the guy with a proud look on his face even though he had obviously lost.

After the competition, Cheng Xiujie really had no excuse to stay any longer, so he took his luggage and went to Huo Yan Expert's House.

There was work to be done in the village in the afternoon, and Cheng Xiujie had nothing to do alone. Thinking that Cheng Huiyue also had to work, he changed his clothes and followed him.

Today, the production site assigned to Cheng Huiyue was not far from Huo Yanxing. As soon as Cheng Xiujie walked up, he saw her bending over and working in the field.

The weather was very cold, and her exposed hands were all red from the cold.

Cheng Xiujie frowned and subconsciously wanted to go up to help, but stopped when he saw the curious eyes around him.

"Is this the land you were assigned?" he walked up to Huo Yanxing and asked.

Huo Yanxing didn't even raise his head and responded lightly.

Cheng Xiujie leaned over, snatched the hoe from his hand, and then whispered: "I'll do your job, and you go help her."

Now that Huo Yanxing is already in a relationship with his sister, people around him won't say anything if he helps out with some work.

This kid doesn't understand any sense, yet he lets his sister do so many things, doesn't he even feel sorry for her?

Huo Yanxing didn't know what he was thinking. If he heard this, he would definitely retort.

It's not that he doesn't hurt others, it's that Cheng Huiyue doesn't let him hurt.

She said that the money she earned in the factory and on the black market was enough to cover her expenses. She worked in the fields to earn work points just to cooperate with the work of the production team. After all, she was an educated youth, so how could she not do any work at all.

However, she only did five or six work points each time. If the weather was bad, she would leave after three or four work points.

You won't be tired at all.

Therefore, except when farming was busy, there was no need for Huo Yanxing to rush to complete his own production tasks and then help her later.

"What are you still waiting for?" Cheng Xiujie urged.

Huo Yanxing watched him do it properly and raised his eyebrows, "Okay."

Then he strode up to Cheng Huiyue, told her and took over her task.

He was happy to have Cheng Xiujie, a free labor force, to work for him. He just happened to help the young educated youth do more work, and the extra work points were money.

Cheng Huiyue stepped aside in confusion, and silently glanced at Cheng Xiujie who was working, with mixed feelings in her heart.

We haven't found any solid evidence yet, why would he do so much?

She lowered her eyes to hide her expression and took a few sips of warm water while holding the kettle.

As it goes down the esophagus, the internal organs along the way seem to become warm.

Huo Yanxing conscientiously helped Cheng Huiyue complete the task, and Cheng Xiujie also really helped Huo Yanxing earn his full work points.

Although he was a bit unfamiliar at first, he quickly got started and he looked up from time to time to supervise Huo Yanxing. However, he found that this guy was very agile and could go a long way, so he chased after him fiercely.

Xu was brought up from the army and was very competitive. He was used to competing with Huo Yanxing. If he fell behind, he would try to catch up.

So the two of them worked hard, going back and forth to finish the task early.

Cheng Huiyue worked for more than ten minutes all afternoon.

"..."

In the evening, Cheng Huiyue didn't ask them to come over for dinner. After finishing cleaning up, Cheng Huiyue sat down at the desk to read.

The fonts in the textbook were reflected in my eyes, but I didn't read a single word.

Cheng Xiujie's arrival really had a big impact on her.

It would be okay if he didn't show he didn't care so much, but now it seems that the Cheng family has not only been suffering from the loss of their daughter, but Mrs. Cheng has also been depressed and ill because of it...

How can she face this?

A few feet away from the Huo family, Cheng Xiujie, like Huo Yanxing, boiled some hot water and rinsed it in the yard before washing up.

Most people in the village had no lights and went to bed early, but Cheng Xiujie was not sleepy now, so he walked carelessly to Huo Yanxing's house and sat down.

I grabbed a few buried sweet potatoes from the stove and took them out for dessert.

Huo Yanxing didn't say anything when he saw his behavior of not treating him as an outsider. He sat over and broke a sweet potato and ate it.

"I thought you would have a miserable life in the countryside, but I didn't expect that you would have a good time here in one day."

Cheng Xiujie held the hot sweet potato meat in his mouth and made a joke with unknown meaning.

Although the living conditions here are not as good as those in the city, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. From time to time, you can go to the mountains to catch pheasants, rabbits, and pick some wild fruits.

He looked at the Huo family's grain cabinet during dinner. Huo Yanxing didn't shy away from it, so he looked at it openly.

So much white flour and polished rice cannot be earned by work points alone.

I guess he has other ways to make money.

But those are none of his business.

Huo Yanxing lowered his eyes and threw away the burned sweet potatoes, and thought about it thoughtfully after hearing this.

In fact, his first year in the countryside was not a good one. Not only was he ostracized and discriminated against by the villagers, but he was lucky enough to meet Huo Fuwan, who was getting seriously ill.

At that time, his younger siblings had no one else to rely on except him, so he had no choice but to support himself and take risks to make money to give Huo Fuwan medicine.

Things got better later, but Huo Fuwan's health became worse and worse, and he became more taciturn and full of hostility in the village.

It was after the young educated youth went to the countryside that his situation became better and better...

Huo Yanxing didn't intend to talk about these past events, and he didn't want to have a hard time with Cheng Xiujie, so there was no need to bring up the past.

I simply acquiesced.

Cheng Xiujie just talked and laughed and had no intention of getting to the bottom of things.

I was a little surprised when I saw him throwing away the burned sweet potato meat, "When did you become so particular?"

What didn't they eat during military training?

A little bit of mushy sweet potato wouldn't affect anything at all, but why did he become squeamish when he went to the countryside?

Huo Yanxing ordered a small bowl filled with mushy sweet potatoes and said, "She said that mushy things cause cancer and cannot be eaten."

And it’s not wasted. I’ll feed it to the chickens tomorrow.

Speaking of this incident, the two secretly went on a date in the back mountain and accidentally burned the roast chicken while eating it, so Cheng Huiyue reminded them.

Originally, Huo Yanxing didn't care. One bite or two would not kill anyone.

But Cheng Huiyue paid great attention to his diet and always told him to eat well and not eat mushy or dirty things.

It feels as if he will die if he eats too much.

The worried look on his face made Huo Yanxing reluctant to go against it, and he was also thinking in his mind whether he would die of illness due to eating in the future, so the young educated youth was so afraid that he would ruin his health by eating.

He didn't want to leave the young educated youth alone at such a young age, and later he took everything she said to heart. Even if Cheng Huiyue wasn't watching, he would pay special attention to the food in his mouth.

The corner of Cheng Xiujie's mouth twitched, and the man who just said one sentence had a smile on his face and mouth, and he felt inexplicably panicked.

Not only does it hold up, but it also feels a little sore.

He clicked his tongue in displeasure and changed the subject, while his subordinates silently threw the battered sweet potato meat into the small bowl.

Rounding things off, his sister also cared about him.

"...Today I see that Xiao Fuwan's health is much better. She has grown taller and fatter than when she was in Kyoto. Is she cured?"

Children grow up quickly, so after three years, some changes are expected.

However, Huo Fuwan was born with a frail body. When she was raised in Kyoto, she always looked thin, but here her face became much rounder.

His face was so red that he even had a double chin.

"Dr. Zhou, the village doctor of the second brigade, is very skilled and knows how to perform acupuncture. He said that her symptoms have improved a lot. After another half a year of nursing, she will be almost like an ordinary child."

Huo Yanxing's eyes softened a little, and Cheng Huiyue's face appeared in his mind again.

All this is brought about by young educated youth...

He didn't tell Cheng Huiyue about taking her pulse to make medicinal meals, because it was her own business, and if she wanted to talk about it, it would be up to her.

And now Cheng Xiujie doesn't recognize her back, so there's no need to tell him too much.

"..." Huo Yanxing didn't say anything, but Cheng Xiujie could read the familiar sour smell of love on his face, and he couldn't help it.

"I said, when I recognize my sister back, I will be your brother-in-law. Don't be so embarrassed when you see me in the future, or I will complain to Yueyue!"

"..." Huo Yanxing paused and turned his face away silently: "Let's wait until you recognize me. When that time comes, I will call you my fourth uncle. Don't refuse to agree."

Cheng Xiujie suddenly frowned, feeling that he was even more at a loss.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still felt uncomfortable, so I pulled Huo Yanxing and asked him to tell him about Cheng Huiyue.

On the way back in the morning, he asked a lot of questions, but he didn't ask in detail when it came to some sensitive things, so he had to look for answers from Huo Yanxing.

Huo Yanxing had been dating Cheng Huiyue for half a year. He knew everything he needed to know and wanted to help them find out the matter, so he cooperated with him and talked to him.

The two of them spent most of the night analyzing this.
