After finishing the potatoes and pickles, he went out and filled the water tank with water. He washed the bowl and chopsticks carefully and put them back in the drawer covered with newspapers.

Then, he picked up the bun on the candlestick and looked at it for a while, then carefully placed it in the coolest place in the room.

Wa Changle and Wa Changyuan's shouts rang out outside the house. He responded, put on his straw hat and picked up his tools.

Sirius, who was munching potatoes, sensed that his master was about to leave, so he ran over to him and rubbed against his master's legs.

This scene was seen by Wa Changyuan who walked to the wooden door of the vegetable garden. She waved to Sirius enthusiastically: "Sirius! Come here!"

Sirius looked in the direction of the sound and barked a few times, as if he was dissatisfied with Wa Changyuan's behavior of giving orders.

Wa Changyuan was unhappy: "Sirius, do you know that you have to be obedient?"

Sirius barked a few more times.

Seeing his sister's defeat, Wa Changle was amused: "Sirius is not an ordinary dog. He is only close to Jiashu."

Wa Changyuan was unconvinced: "That's because we don't get along too much with Sirius. If we get along more, we will definitely get closer. Dogs are all the same."

Qin Jiashu, who heard the conversation between the two, did not comment.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of that girl with a sweet smile who seemed to be always happy.

That day the girl fell into the trap and was not afraid of the wolf at all. She even stretched out her hand to play with the wolf.

And Sirius doesn't have any hostility toward girls.

From this point of view, it is not that Sirius is not close to people, but that he is too smart and spiritual.

Lowering his head, he held Sirius' dog head and stared at it for a few seconds: "You understand what I mean, right?"

Sirius didn't know whether he understood what he said, so he whimpered a few more times, and then rubbed him hard with his big tail.

Qin Jiashu's mood suddenly improved. He leaned over and bumped heads with Sirius, then stood up: "You stay in the garden and don't run around, okay?"

Sirius: "Aww~ Aww~"

Qin Jiashu walked out of the vegetable garden and locked the small wooden door with a lock. Sirius was running around inside, bidding farewell to his master.

Seeing Sirius dancing happily, Wa Changyuan happily moved forward and said, "Sirius, come on, come on, give me a paw."

The moment she stretched out her hand, Sirius suddenly stopped jumping, turned around gracefully, and headed towards the small earthen house with his tail swung.

Wa Changle burst out laughing: "Hahahaha!"

Wa Changyuan was so angry that she blew her beard and glared, and complained to Qin Jiashu: "Look at it, it's bullying!"

Qin Jiashu thought about how close Sirius was to that girl, and the corner of his mouth curled up unconsciously: "Sirius has such a personality, what do you have to argue with him?"

"That's right, why are you in such a hurry with the dog?" Wa Changle put his arm around Qin Jiashu's shoulders: "My mother is cooking meat at home today. Let's eat meat for lunch. You kid hasn't eaten meat in several days."

The two of them walked quickly with their long legs in front, and in an instant they left Wa Changyuan behind.

Wa Changyuan jumped to her feet: "You two wait for me!"

…

Josie slept and woke up, woke up and slept again, and had many strange dreams.

When she finally woke up completely, her whole body was soaked with sweat.

"It's really easy to have nightmares when you sleep in the summer." She muttered, locked the door, fetched water, and took a comfortable bath.

After taking a shower, I opened the door and was sitting in the yard drying my hair when Qiao Zhu came.

After Qiao Zhu was called dirty by the little girl last time, she became very particular about hygiene and took a shower and washed clothes every night.

But I only persisted for two days and then I couldn't hold on anymore. The reason was that it was too strenuous.

Josie is clean and refreshing because she does not do farm work and can easily maintain hygiene.

But Qiao Zhu was different. She had to do farm work every day and help with cooking when she got home at night. She washed the clothes diligently during those two days, and her brother Qiao Wenlong even washed the clothes for her.

She didn't want to wash it, so her grandma scolded her.

Therefore, she is now back to her original state. It is too tiring to keep herself clean and decent, and she does not have the strength.

She also figured out that these young men in the village were not her ideal husbands anyway. No one would appreciate her cleaning them up, and she would clean them up when she went to town.

Walking into the yard, Qiao Zhu saw Qiao Xi sitting on a small bench in the shade, wearing a long white cotton skirt, with her hair spread out and hanging on her shoulders like a black waterfall.

Under the fluffy long hair, her small face, which is usually as big as a palm, looks even more delicate and pretty, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Qiao Zhu bit her lower lip, remembering what her friends had said about Qiao Xi's good looks, and her heart felt sour.

She just didn't have the conditions to dress up like this. If she stayed at home every day without having to work and had plenty of time to wash her hair and take a shower, she wouldn't be any worse than Josie.

Seeing that Qiao Zhu didn't say anything when she arrived, and just stared at him angrily, Qiao Xi frowned her delicate brows.

She spoke first: "You want to see me if you have something to do?"

"Oh, you can't come if you have nothing to do?" Qiao Zhu said in a strange tone.

Qiao Xi laughed when he heard this: "Of course you can't come if you have nothing to do. Who hangs out at other people's houses without fear of being caught as a thief?"

Qiao Zhu's voice immediately became louder: "What do you mean, we are a family, and you say I am a thief?"

"I didn't say it, you said it yourself." Qiao Xi was too lazy to waste time arguing with this kind of person, so he said straightforwardly: "If you have something to say, tell me quickly, otherwise if my mother comes later and hears you being mean to me, you will suffer the consequences

Got it."

Qiao Zhu: "You!"

And because I have a mother who protects my calf, it’s amazing!

She was so angry that her teeth itched, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, what Qiao Xi said was the truth.

Last time Qiao Xi broke off the engagement, she just said a few words, but her mother still doesn't want to see her.

Suppressing the unhappiness in her heart, Qiao Zhu said angrily: "Grandpa's birthday is coming soon. Grandma said that it is grandpa's seventieth birthday and she wants to do something for grandpa. Let me tell you first. Second uncle will go to my house tonight to discuss it.

discuss."

Qiao Xi nodded slowly: "I understand."

This is really a big deal.

Qiao Zhu snorted, turned and left.

Qiao Xi was drying her hair and feeling hungry. Mother Qiao had made lunch in the morning. It was hot and there was no need to heat the food, so she ate it cool.

While eating, thinking about her family members who were still working in the fields, she dug out the mung beans in the cupboard and cooked a pot of mung bean soup.

The mung bean soup cooks quickly. After it cools down, pour it into a basin, cover it with a lid, put it into a bucket, and finally lift the bucket into the well with a rope.

People in the village often use this method to chill watermelon, and the same goes for mung bean soup.

After chilling the mung bean soup, she didn't change her clothes anymore, put on a straw hat, picked up a basin and bowl and set off.

It was just past one in the afternoon, the sunniest time of the day.

It took her almost an hour to reach the field, walking and stopping.

The people working in the fields were sitting in piles under the trees to enjoy the shade. Those from Qiaojia Village were sitting together, and those from Wajia Village were sitting together.

Everyone was chatting with each other about the gossip and latest news in their respective villages, when suddenly someone exclaimed.

"Look, isn't that a girl from the Qiao family?"
