In the open space, there were two children on Qin Yao's side, holding her tightly.

The five people cuddled tightly together, watching worriedly as the small house in front of them had thatch flying in the strong wind, looking like it would collapse at any time.

Wait and wait, wait and wait.

The wind stopped.

The small house that looked very fragile was actually still standing tenaciously in front of me.

But looking at the thatch scattered on the ground, and the empty house with only the beams and a few pieces of thatch left, Qin Yao didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.

The house was saved, but it would definitely cost a fortune to re-roof it.

Looking at the only forty coins left in her pocket, Qin Yao felt that the sky was going to kill her!

The four little guys didn't know the sadness in her heart. Seeing that the house hadn't collapsed, they shouted in surprise: Auntie, the house is fine!

Qin Yao glanced at the excited Erlang: You call this okay?

Erlang was so angry that he was shocked and covered his mouth in fear.

The sky turned white, and the mess on the ground was clearly visible. Qin Yao rubbed her throbbing temples, motioning the four siblings to stand still and not move around, and walked quickly towards the village.

Qin Yao knocked on the door of the Liu family's old house.

They had just finished planting all the land yesterday, and the men of the Liu family were thinking of taking a break and were still asleep at the moment.

Second Sister-in-law Qiu got up to relieve herself. She heard a knock on the door and came to open the door. She saw Qin Yao appearing in front of her with an expressionless face. It was still dark, but she was lucky enough not to be scared out of her wits.

Is something wrong? Second Sister-in-law Qiu asked carefully, barely calming down.

She didn't know whether it was because it was too dark or something else, but when she saw the new daughter-in-law of the third family, she couldn't help but feel angry.

Qin Yao said: Second sister-in-law, there was a strong wind at night, and the roof of my house was blown off.

Second Sister-in-law Qiu was startled, Is the wind blowing?

The wind is very strong. Qin Yao said with certainty.

Sister-in-law Qiu was also stunned for a moment, but now she realized what she was doing, her expression changed, and she asked with concern: Are you okay?

Qin Yao shook her head and said it was okay. Second Sister-in-law Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and ran into the house to wake her man up.

The movement in the courtyard alarmed Old Man Liu and Mrs. Zhang, and they started to put on their clothes.

Second Sister-in-law Qiu pointed to the door and said, Dad, the roof of the third child's house was blown off.

Old man Liu was shocked. Hearing that Mrs. Qiu said that she was fine, he felt relieved. He called his three sons, picked up the tools for repairing the roof, and rushed to Liu Ji's house.

Qin Yao followed behind, looking at the hurried appearance of the father and son, her heart, which had been hardened for a long time, melted.

The people in the village have a variety of skills, and repairing a roof is nothing to Old Man Liu and his son.

When they saw the empty roof, they got busy without saying anything.

Liu Fei picked up all the usable pieces of thatch that fell on the ground. Seeing that this was not enough, Liu Bai and Liu Zhong hurried to the river bank to cut grass.

Old man Liu went home and carried a ladder, climbed up to the roof, took the pieces of thatch thrown up by Liu Fei, and spread them again.

In just one morning, the roof was re-paved and reinforced by the father and son, and several heavy stones were placed on the four corners to prevent it from blowing away again in strong winds.

Feeling grateful, Qin Yao cooked all the brown rice she bought home yesterday into porridge, and left the father and son at home for lunch before leaving.

Old man Liu drank the thick brown rice porridge from his bowl and looked at the mother and son squatting in front of the stove, chewing taro, but hesitated to speak.

In the end, he didn't say anything, put down the empty bowl, and led Liu Bai and others away.

But before leaving, she couldn't help but tell Qin Yao: Plant those two acres of land quickly. I'm afraid it's going to rain in two days.

Qin Yaoying knew this and walked a few steps before returning. He called Dalang, picked up the hoe, picked up the can of wheat seeds, and walked towards the two acres of land on the other side of the mountain.

Erlang stayed at home to look after the house and the twins.

Although they were all familiar with each other in the same village, and their home was at the far end of the village, so it was unlikely that they would encounter a flower girl, Qin Yao still did not dare to leave just the four-year-old twins at home.

Qin Yao felt that she had the farming instructions she got from Zhang yesterday. She was just planting a piece of land. How much trouble could it be?

But he didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

Liu Ji's two acres of land have been dug up by the original owner.

Qin Yao only needs to dig a hole, sow the wheat seeds, and then bury them.

However, from mid-afternoon to evening, only one-tenth of an acre of land was sown!

Qin Yao looked at the large unseeded open space in front of her in disbelief, suspecting that she was dazzled.

Otherwise, why did she work so hard all afternoon to plant such a small patch?

This is not the point. The point is that she feels that her newly recuperated body is almost unable to bear the burden.

Turning to look at Dalang, who was sitting on the ridge of the field with his face flushed from the sun, both mother and son saw despair in each other's eyes.

The weather is cold in the morning and evening and hot in the day. Liu Ji's land is quite remote. His family's two acres of land are the only ones in the entire mountain valley. There are so many bugs that they buzz around your head.

Qin Yao was not fully prepared when she came, so she could only put her coat on her head and hug her head tightly, exposing her eyes.

But the mother and son's exposed ankles and insteps were covered in mosquito bites. They were itchy and they didn't dare to scratch, for fear of scratching the skin, which would make it even more uncomfortable. It was particularly torturous.

In the wasteland in the mountains, even if it has been hoeed, a few stones and tree roots will appear from time to time. They must be thrown out before sowing.

The straw sandals on my feet were not easy to walk in the fields. After taking a few steps, the soles of my feet were covered with heavy mud, which restricted my movement speed.

Farming is a repetitive process that is boring and tedious.

Qin Yao was digging vigorously with dozens of hoes in front of him, and when he touched the rocks, sparks flew out.

But as the hoe dug one by one, the hoe in his hand became heavier and heavier. Even Qin Yao, who was very strong, began to feel swollen and sore in his arms.

After sowing seeds again and again, I bent down, stood up, and bent down again. After repeating it hundreds of times, my waist couldn't bear it anymore.

In addition, his face was covered in clothes, it was hot and stuffy, and every time he moved a step, all kinds of discomforts came flooding back, making it extremely painful.

Qin Yao insisted on coming until the sun went down.

I thought that because of my hard work, I should have sown more than half of the seeds, but I didn’t expect that I only had a small part.

Dalang couldn't help it anymore, so he gently scratched the mosquito rash on his feet and looked at Qin Yao with sweat on his face, which made her have the illusion that he was abusing a child laborer.

Thinking of having to experience such extreme torture tomorrow, Qin Yao almost wanted to go back to the end of the world.

She would rather fight among the zombies and become nourishment for mutated animals and plants than farm again tomorrow!

Qin Yao was instantly in awe of the four father and son Liu when he thought of how they would go out early and come back late, taking care of the family's more than 100 acres of land all year round.

The sun was about to set, and unknown birds chirped from the mountains. Dalang stood up and looked at Qin Yao with some fear, Auntie, it's getting dark.

Qin Yao was so tortured that she didn't even want to say anything. She waved to Dalang, and mother and son returned home under the moonlight.

In front of the stove, Qin Yao gnawed the taro roasted by Erlang Sanlang and thought to herself that she had to go into the mountains.

It’s impossible to farm, and I don’t want to farm again in this life!
