“How did you grow up?” Just based on her infuriating mouth, Yu Heng felt that it was a miracle that she could live safely until now.

After returning home that afternoon, Yu Heng rested for the entire afternoon and went back to farming the next day.

The villagers had finished harvesting the corn in a few days. The next thing to do was to dry them out. It would be easier to preserve them.

Every year, grains would be dried in bulk. On one hand, it was because there was a very open grain farm, so it would be a waste not to use it. On the other hand, the villagers could work shifts every day to save manpower costs.

The caretaker was not guarding against other villagers, but to prevent birds from stealing food. Moreover, it happened to be the rainy season in July and August, so the caretaker was afraid that the rain would spoil the grain.

In the daytime, the village was guarded by women. At night, the men would go and take a look. Every family took turns.

As he was the only laborer left in Yu Heng’s family, the village chief originally planned to give him some preferential treatment and let him only watch the night shift, but Yu Heng rejected him. He said that he was young and strong and could guard for a day and night.

Under his insistence, the village chief agreed, but Yu Heng’s three meals a day were provided by the village chief’s family.

Yu Yu and Yu Xiang didn’t have to cook every day anymore. The two of them ran to the village chief’s house at mealtime. One of them brought food to Yu Heng, and the other brought it home with their parents’ portion.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Yi Ke didn’t like to go out. In the first few days, Yi Ke still had the energy to run to the river. She could fish for fishes and shrimps, and play with the water, but she soon got tired of it. She stayed in her room and didn’t go. She just read books and played with her phone.

Wan Shi heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that she really did not want to run around. At least he did not have to be on tenterhooks every day, afraid that she would fall.

After two days, Yi Ke suddenly realized that something was wrong. She had been playing with her phone for the past two days and her eyes were blurry. Every day, she would look out on time to relieve her eyes’ fatigue. Hence, she suddenly realized that Yi Shi, who was next door, always went out at dusk and walked towards the valley field. Then, she never returned.

At first, Yi Ke thought she was going to deliver food, but she quickly realized that there was no man in Yi Shi’s house! Besides, it wasn’t like she wouldn’t come back for the entire night.

“Xiangxiang, do you know what that Yi Shi next door does every day?” Upon realizing that the problem had to be solved, Yi Ke stopped Yu Xiang, who was delivering food, and asked.

“Sister Shi? She went to the grain field.” Yu Xiang did not know about the agreement between Yi Ke and her brother. She only felt that after that time, Eldest Miss seemed to have distanced herself from her.

Now that Yi Ke had asked, she pranced over like a puppy.

“Be good at home. I’ll go look for your brother.” Yi Ke took her phone and walked towards the grain field. She had been running crazily every day recently, and she had more or less memorized the way.

Yi Ke’s guess was right. Yi Shi was really a person who knew how to find opportunities. She used the excuse of delivering food to stay with Yu Heng and even took a math book every day to ask math questions. The two of them got along very well.

Yi Shi had even arranged the progress of the strategy. On the first and second day, they would talk about arithmetic so that their relationship would not be so distant. On the third day, they could talk about other things and let Yu Heng talk about his ideals. She would then encourage him from the side and let Yu Heng know that she supported him.

This way, she could create a persona for Yu Heng that she also had foresight and ideas. In the future, she could talk more about Yu Heng’s family. This way, she could slowly invade Yu Heng’s life and not be afraid of not being able to cozy up to him in the future.

Yi Shi had indeed achieved the progress of the first and second day. Her results in her original world were not bad. She could also talk about problems with Yu Heng. Yu Heng didn’t know her true identity and even praised her for improving quickly and having good comprehension.

According to Yi Shi’s thoughts, they could further communicate on the third day. She even changed into a floral dress and let her hair down. She wore white canvas shoes like a student and sat beside Yu Heng with a smile as she asked him questions.

There were quite a lot of people in the valley, and some familiar villagers teased them. Yi Shi didn’t defend herself and lowered her head, pretending to be embarrassed.
