142 Empathizing with the Farmers
If it wasn’t for his uncle’s investigation, which confirmed that she was born and raised in Daishi Village, he would have suspected that she had an extraordinary background.
Lin Xiaoyue paused.
“Oh, my master came up with that,” she said.
In any case, she would just push it all onto her non-existent master.
Lin Xiaoyue did not notice that Li Xiao glanced at her when she mentioned her master.
“It was actually from a poem, I’ll teach it to you.” It was indeed from a classic poem that she had learned in elementary school.
“Thanks aunty!” Xiao Qing was a little excited. He even stood up and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaozhi quickly followed suit.
Lin Xiaoyue laughed.
“Alright, repeat after me.”
“Harvesting crops at noon…”
“Harvesting crops at noon …”
“Sweat drops on the earth…”
“Sweat drops on the earth…”
“…”
The lively chanting continued.
Even Li Xiao couldn’t help but repeat after her.
Lin Xiaoyue continued working until she couldn’t anymore.
“Well, it’s really hard to work in the fields. Work hard, you two, and don’t have to live a life of labor.” Such familiar words. Her grandparents had said the same thing to her back then.
It was hard to have a good life without any skill.
Lin Xiaoyue dropped her hoe and gave up.
She went to the place where Xiao Qing and Lin Xiaozhi were resting and sat down next to them.
Seeing that Li Xiao was still working, Lin Xiaoyue was quite impressed.
“You’ve been working for half a day, come over and rest for a while.” She said to Li Xiao
Fortunately, she bought him. Otherwise, it would have taken her and her mother a lot of effort to clean up the land.
“No, I want to finish it by today.” Without even looking at Lin Xiaoyue, Li Xiao continued to dig, as if he was not tired at all.
Lin Xiaoyue and the two children looked at each other, and the word “admiration” was written in their eyes.
After resting for a while, Lin Xiaoyue looked at the watch in her interspatial ring and realized that it was already half past four.
Hence, she quickly got up.
“The cold cakes are almost ready, I’m going back!”
“I’ll go with you!” Lin Xiaozhi quickly got up.
Xiao Qing’s face was also filled with excitement. Just as he was about to get up, he stopped.
Lin Xiaoyue saw Xiao Qing’s reaction.
“Qing’er, come with us. Let’s go back and eat the cold cakes!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile and left.
Xiao Qing stood up and looked at Li Xiao.
“Uncle…” He said with a red face.
“If you want to go, then go ahead,” he replied and continued to work without looking at him.
“Thank you, uncle!” Xiao Qing said and ran after Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Xiaozhi.
Li Xiao only put down the hoe after the three of them were gone.
Then, he smiled and shook his head.
She was really like a king of children.
Lin Xiaoyue took the two children to the stream to wash their hands, and then removed the cloth to look at the cold cakes.
After making sure that the cold cakes were ready, she took the bucket of cold cakes and brought it back to the kitchen.
Then, she took out a bowl and a spoon, filling seven bowls with cold cakes.
Then, she drizzled it with the thick brown sugar syrup that she prepared earlier, and served them.
“Let’s go. We’ll send some to mom and the aunties,” Lin Xiaoyue said to the two children.
“Yes!” The two children quickly carried a bowl of cold cake each and followed Lin Xiaoyue to the courtyard.
