Jin Xiaolou dug out the peanuts and sprinkled them with salt. Then, she sat in the grass hut with Gao Lang's lotus leaves.

After that, Jin Xiaolou carried the basket and entered the mountain forest, leaving Gao Lang to plow the fields barefooted while holding the hoe.

This Jin Xiaolou, was he really using him like an ox?

Gao Lang waited until Jin Xiaolou's back completely disappeared into the forest's shade, and the childish look on her face disappeared in an instant. Her expression was as cold as the autumn's morning frost, and he immediately flung her hoe away, went to the river side to wash her hands and feet, then tidied herself up a bit, then walked over to the grass shed and sat down.

In front of him was a stack of delicate snacks, a cinnamon cake made from fresh sophora nectar pickled in the early autumn of the previous year, and a pot of New Leaf Black Plum Tea to relieve the heat and quench the thirst.

In the field, Chang An rolled up the sleeves of his pants, and started to work over and over again.

Chang An picked up his hoe again with both of his sword hands. He was extremely worried …

The sound of the river flowed through the fields and into the stream that ran along the side of the forest.

On the bluestone by the stream, Jin Xiaofeng took off her shoes and lightly paddled her feet in the cool stream. However, her expression was deep and worried, not the slightest bit as comfortable as when she was stealing free time in the past.

Beside her, Jin Xiaotao raised a huge lotus leaf and placed it on top of Jin Xiaofeng's head.

"That girl Lou is usually here, so we don't need to do any work. Just tell her to gather some pigweed and that'll be enough. We just need to rest." Now, Grandmother wants us to go into the woods to pick the seeds. It's really bad luck. "

Jin Xiaofeng muttered, and waved at Jin Xiaotao: "What are you doing standing there, fanning yourself, it's so hot that it kills people to death."

Jin Xiaotao immediately pulled out another leaf and fanned it for Jin Xiaofeng.

Jin Xiaotao comforted her: "When I went to the latrine this morning, I went out when the sky was still dark. It took me a long time to come back, and when I returned, I carried a big basket full of things, such as mushrooms and wooden ears. Since the small building was so easily picked up, we should be able to pick them too."

After saying that, she paused for a moment as if she was talking to herself, "However, I don't know when the two of them will be able to finish eating all these fungus seeds. I'm afraid it's still in her room."

Hearing that, Jin Xiaofeng immediately stood up, her shoulder bumped into Jin Xiaotao's chin, causing golden stars to flash across Jin Xiaotao's eyes.

"Why are you so close to me!? "It hurts like hell!" Jin Xiaofeng rubbed her shoulder as she glared at Jin Xiaotao.

Following that, he raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Since there are so many Ear Mushrooms in the Jin Family, why should we go into the forest to gather them?"

The wild mosquitoes in the forest were incredible. Besides, they might encounter some kind of danger.

How many people go into the woods every year and never come out again.

"Since Jin Xiaolou has it, we are not in a hurry." Jin Xiaofeng sat down again. At the moment, her expression was completely at ease as she enjoyed the free time.

He raised his head and saw Jin Xiaotao looking like a Little Maid serving him. Her heart was filled with satisfaction.

He couldn't help but show off to Jin Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, you following me can be considered a blessing in disguise, next year, when I become the Young Madame of the Prefecture Lord's family, I will bring you there, just like now, to shelter me from the sun, to fan the wind, to pour water, I will definitely not treat you unfairly, I will definitely pick the best Attendant in my family, and you can be considered to have walked out of this village and married into a rich family."

Jin Xiaotao's expression did not change, the hand holding the lotus leaf secretly exerted force, and her fingernail deeply pinched the center of her palm. A red mark was left.

Taking a deep breath, she said in a joyful tone, "The Young Madame of the Zhi County Elder's family?"

"That's right!" Jin Xiaofeng could not hide her expression, "My mother has already arranged everything for me. Next year, when that child Jin Xiaolou has grown up, I will carry that child and go up."

Jin Xiaotao felt her vision blur, and she could not help but take two steps back.

The bright sunlight hit on Jin Xiaofeng's half-squinting eyelids, making her feel pain.

"Aiyo, what are you doing!" Jin Xiaofeng tugged at Jin Xiaotao, "Keep it up, do you still want to go into the city?"

Jin Xiaotao frowned, she bit her lower lip, slowed down for a moment, and then handed the lotus leaf over …

When Jin Xiaolou returned with the half basket of loquats and the large bundle of wild rice, she had already hidden herself in the dense and dense branches and leaves of the locust tree, and was rubbing her sore shoulder.

Looking at the ploughed ground, Jin Xiaolou was satisfied. She waved to Gao Lang who was hiding in the grass shed not far away.

Gao Lang was truly more obedient than the big golden hair that Jin Xiaolou had raised in his previous life. When he saw Jin Xiaolou wave his hand, he obediently ran over.

However, Gao Lang's clean hands still held onto the two osmanthus cakes.

Jin Xiaolou had never eaten an ancient cake before, but just by looking at it with her naked eye, she was able to tell that the pastry was made in an exquisite manner that did not seem to belong to this village.

"Where did this come from?" Jin Xiaolou was suspicious.

"It was given to me by a passing uncle." Gao Lang still had half a piece in his mouth, the way he spoke sounded vague, fragmented osmanthus flowers fell in front of his clothes.

Jin Xiaolou lightly patted off the dust on Gao Lang's clothes. "Uncle? Which uncle? "

"Eldest Uncle is Eldest Uncle. He's tall and big." Gao Lang gestured a little, clumsily and seriously saying, "He even grew a full face of beard, making him look like a monkey."

Chang An who was sitting on the locust tree was so angry that he almost fell down. Shameless... enslaved him, exploited him, ate his food, said he was like a monkey...

Gao Lang then said: "My wife, this dessert is really delicious, I was reluctant to finish it, so I left two pieces for you."

Jin Xiaolou's heart warmed. She didn't think that being targeted by a fool would have such a feeling. She let out a long sigh.

Just as he opened his mouth, Gao Lang took a piece of osmanthus cake and placed it into his mouth.

It was very sweet. The entrance was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. It was as if he wouldn't feel tired even if he plowed another 500 mu of land!

Jin Xiaolou threw the basket to the side, then pulled Gao Lang and the others and planted all the wild rice inside it.
