The vegetable field was soon watered.

Xu Anruo followed her grandmother with an empty basket on her shoulder and headed home.

Halfway through the journey, Xu Anruo thought for a moment and finally spoke:

"Grandma, why don't you go back first? I saw a classmate and want to go over and say hello."

"You saw your classmate? Go ahead, don't forget to come back early for lunch."

Grandma is very easy to talk to.

Xu Anruo hummed and handed over the empty basket.

Then she turned around and walked towards the field where Tan Zijin was cutting rice.

When she reached the edge of the field.

Xu Anruo didn't know how to say hello for a moment.

So she squatted on the ridge of the field, watching Tan Zijin bury himself in the rice field, and then approached Xu Anruo little by little.

She was the only one in such a large field.

And she was a girl!

In fact, Conghu County is not a mountainous and poor county.

Although the main business model of small families in the towns and villages is that the father works outside, and the mother and grandparents at home cultivate a little land, life is actually quite good.

Even many people are richer than Xu Anruo's so-called small county town worker family.

The most direct example is Xu Anruo's aunt and uncle's family.

The uncle was a bricklayer in his early years. Later, he pulled a few people from the same village to form a small contracting team. After a few years, he became a small contractor, and it was easy to make 300,000 or 400,000 yuan a year.

And the uncle followed him and was responsible for a small team of five people. Last year, he also earned 160,000 to 170,000 yuan.

In comparison, Xu Guangcheng and Luo Xiulan are much worse.

The couple is stable, but they all get a fixed salary. At most, they don't even make 100,000 yuan a year.

In addition, they eat and live in the county town, and firewood, rice, oil and salt are all expenses. The cost of living is completely incomparable to that in the village.

This has led to many children in the village being raised in an excessive way.

Doing farm work is very normal in the village.

But it is very rare for girls to do farm work.

Even during the busy farming season, girls would at most cook at home and dry rice.

How could it be like Tan Zijin?

This job is not for girls!

Xu Anruo squatted for a long time.

He was waiting for Tan Zijin to feel tired and straighten up, just in time to meet him, so that he could see Xu Anruo.

But this guy seemed to be unaware of tiredness, and he didn't get up for a long time, cutting all the way from the other end of the field to the end where Xu Anruo squatted.

Finally, one trip was finished.

Maybe she was really tired, and Tan Zijin finally straightened up.

She subconsciously picked up the towel around her neck to wipe her sweat, just like before.

But suddenly, she found a person squatting on the ridge in front of her, grinning at her with a sunny face.

"Ah!"

Tan Zijin screamed.

Xu Anruo was about to speak with a smile, but she was stunned.

Then she saw Tan Zijin trying to step back subconsciously as if she was frightened.

But she forgot that both legs were stuck in the mud field, and she didn't pull them out, so she just sat down.

"Hey!"

This scared Xu Anruo.

He quickly took off his shoes and jumped into the field to help.

As a result, Tan Zijin seemed to be even more frightened.

At this time, she was still slumped in the mud field, supporting herself with her hands and moving back, and half of her body was soaked in mud and water.

"I... not you?"

Xu Anruo was stunned there, at a loss.

Was her appearance very sudden?

How did it become like this?

At this time, Tan Zijin slowly stood up from the muddy field.

Half of her body was covered with muddy water.

But she just bent down silently, washed the mud off her hands, then found the small sickle for cutting rice, turned around and went to cut rice again.

She had no anger or complaints.

She was silent as if Xu Anruo didn't exist.

Xu Anruo was stunned again, feeling distressed.

He was still standing barefoot in the muddy field.

The mud was deep, with water that could submerge his calves, and it was very difficult to pull his feet out. Xu Anruo, who had never been in the field, moved and almost fell.

Xu Anruo looked at the half-covered muddy but thin figure in front of him, frowned and shouted:

"Tan Zijin!"

The figure trembled slightly.

But he didn't look up, and there was no response.

He just kept cutting the rice, arranging it, and cutting it again, with very skilled movements.

It was the same when he was in No. 1 Middle School before.

It took a few sentences before he could ask a question.

Then he spoke in a very low voice and walked away without saying a word.

He simply walked over.

It was a few steps, but it was very laborious to walk.When he got there, before he could say anything, Tan Zijin immediately took a few steps back, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xu Anruo.

This made Xu Anruo a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his two lives.

While he was in a daze, Tan Zijin had already bent down to continue harvesting rice, once again treating Xu Anruo as if he didn't exist.

She had just sat down in the muddy water, and the trousers she was mopping on the ground were muddy. Xu Anruo felt uncomfortable and asked subconsciously:

"Your clothes are like this, don't you go back and change them?"

"It's okay, it will... dry in a while."

Tan Zijin's voice was weak, and he didn't look up.

"It will dry in a while?"

Xu Anruo sighed, unable to understand, and asked again:

"Wearing wet clothes on your body will easily cause you to get hypothermia and catch a cold, you know?"

As a result, Tan Zijin stopped talking again.

She just kept cutting the rice, and her movements were quite skillful. She must have been doing farm work like this since she was a child, right?

"Go back and change your clothes. I'll wait for you here!"

Xu Anruo simply softened her tone.

But Tan Zijin still didn't move. She just shook her head and whispered:

"No...it's okay. Going back will waste time."

"What time will it waste?"

"It will get hot later."

"You!"

Xu Anruo took a deep breath.

Then he said:

"How about this, you go back and change your clothes, and I'll help you work here. Is that okay?"

"No...no."

Tan Zijin still shook her head.

Xu Anruo saw that she didn't listen, and suddenly lost her patience.

Before his reincarnation, he was an elite CEO. His work pace was fast, and the most annoying thing was to repeat the same sentence several times. So, his tone became heavier and he said:

"This is not good, that is not good, so what do you want?"

"..."

As a result, Tan Zijin stopped talking again.

He just cut the rice by himself. After a while, he had cut a distance away from Xu Anruo.

Xu Anruo frowned, and was very annoyed by this, so he chased after him and said:

"Speak up!"
