As the sun set, Li Lingyun, Li Chenze, and Pan Meijia finally arrived at Xie village. When the villagers saw them returning with several bags, their eyes were full of curiosity.
Since it was getting late, Li Chenze first sent Pan Meijia back to the Lu family, then sent Li Lingyun back home, and returned the bullock cart to Zhang Ermu.
After unloading all the things, Li Lingyun carried them into his house, placed them in an empty room, and then went to take a shower. Because the temperature was high, he stood directly by the well and took a cold shower.
After washing the dirt off his body, he felt refreshed and went to bed. Although he was physically strong, carrying several heavy bags and traveling long distances really made him exhausted. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep and even snored.
Early the next morning, Li Chenmo woke up earlier than usual. Seeing that his wife was still sleeping soundly, he leaned down and kissed her forehead gently. He covered his wife with a thin quilt and left the room to boil water.
After washing his face, he went to the chicken coop to check and replenished feed and water. He put the eggs into a bamboo basket and put them in the kitchen.
When the water was boiling, Lu Jueyu walked into the kitchen. Seeing that her husband had prepared hot water, she said, "Good morning, husband."
Seeing her sleepy look, Li Chenmo smiled, kissed her gently and said, "Good morning, wife."
"How are you feeling now?" he asked.
"I don’t feel the pain anymore," Lu Jueyu said.
Li Chenmo observed his wife for a while and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had recovered. He patted her head and said, "I have prepared water for you. You go and wash up first."
After pouring boiling water into the drinking water tank, Li Chenmo went to the pig pen, and Lu Jueyu started preparing breakfast.
As the summer harvest was approaching, the school decided to give the children a holiday until the end of the summer harvest. This way the children can help work and earn work points,
Every villager is preparing harvesting tools, including Song Hai’s family. Different from the peaceful daily life in Li Chenmo’s family, the situation in the Song family is very tense.
In the kitchen, the three daughters-in-law are preparing breakfast. But instead of cooking, the three of them were arguing.
Zhao Ya stood at the dining table, pointed at the empty rice vat, and said angrily, "Eldest sister-in-law, Second sister-in-law, I don’t mind if you take some of our food to your natal family. But you should leave us enough food."
"How can you take everything away? There’s still a month until distribution day and we have nothing now. What should we eat?" she asked.
