Chapter 126 Which bastard said we don't work in winter?! (2/2)

That humble and numb look was like two red-hot needles, piercing Yu Siyuan's heart.

"Wow--"

Yu Siyuan could no longer hold back. He grabbed Yu Hao's arm and burst into tears, his face covered in snot and tears, gasping for breath.

He completely broke down.

Yu Hao held his cousin, who was crying so hard he was almost unconscious, and for the first time, a feeling of "regret" rose in his heart.

They brought money and a savings book, but they used most of it to buy new cotton-padded clothes and bedding for their aunt's family. They needed the brigade leader's permission to go to town to spend the rest of the money.

This is probably what it feels like to beg for food while holding a mountain of gold.

Not only do they have to do their own laundry and cooking, but they also have to do this kind of deadly work.

Yu Hao regretted it.

He shouldn't have brought his cousin here. He needs to find a way to get both him and himself back to the city!

Yes, and his brother too!

He instinctively turned around, searching for Yan Yu's figure in the crowd.

He found it very quickly.

At the other end of the field, his brother had leased a large area all by himself.

While others could only manage a single white dot with a pickaxe, his brother would turn over a large chunk of black soil with a single stroke. His movements were fast and steady, his efficiency astonishing, as if the frozen soil were nothing more than tofu blocks in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, he had finished most of his work.

Yu Hao suddenly realized that his brother might... not need him at all.

He came running over eagerly, as if he were just there to cause trouble.

…………………………

On the other side, in the large warehouse on the threshing ground.

Although there was a large iron furnace, the drafty warehouse was still as cold as an icebox.

The women sat around piles of dried soybean stalks, wearing cloth gloves, mechanically picking the pods.

The work is monotonous and exhausting.

Lin Xiangnan worked quickly and efficiently, while Shen Yishan next to her looked disgusted, her movements as she pinched the bean pods revealing her reluctance.

Ruan Tang was also sitting next to her.

The basket in front of her contained very few bean pods.

She slowly pulled a piece of fruit candy from her pocket; it was something Yan Yu had forcefully given her before leaving home that morning.

Peel off the candy wrapper, pop it into your mouth, and the sweetness melts on your tongue.

She rested her chin on her hand, listening with great interest to the women's gossip, clearly in a state of leisure.

Inside the pocket, the treasure-hunting mouse, Little White, also peeked out, tugging at Ruan Tang's clothes with its paws and sniffing with its little nose, wanting to taste the sweetness as well.

Ruan Tang reached out her fingertip and gently scratched its little chin. The little white dog squinted comfortably, then shrank back, clutching a soybean that Ruan Tang had just given it and secretly nibbling on it.

At the other end of the warehouse, Jin Yuhong, a newly arrived educated youth, lowered her head, her mind a jumbled mess.

She has been feeling restless these past two days.

She clearly remembered that at this time in her previous life, Yu Hao was a powerful figure in Beijing and would never have gone to the countryside!

And his cousin? There was no such person in his past life!

Two people who shouldn't have been there appeared right in front of her.

This made Jin Yuhong feel that her "precognition," on which she relied for survival, was being shaken little by little.

A sense of panic about losing control of the future gripped her heart.

But seeing Shen Yishan working nearby, Jin Yuhong felt a sense of relief. At least in this life, Shen Yishan and Gu Jinzhou were still engaged, and that was enough. As long as they were bound together, she had a chance. A second life would definitely be different! (This chapter has been read. Please click the next chapter to continue reading!)
