Chapter 92 - What’s With That Attitude

Ye Ling sighed when he heard that. His brothers would always say, “It’s not important.” He really didn’t know how to respond.

He lowered his head and also continued to transplant the rice seedlings.

Liu Duo looked at the two busy figures and felt that it wasn’t too good if she remained idle there. However, she didn’t want to go down into the paddy field, so she felt very conflicted.

In the end, she decided to take off her cloth shoes, roll her sleeves up to her elbows, roll her trousers up to her knees, and go over.

She lingered around the periphery of the paddy field and didn’t step in. Ye Ling saw Liu Duo standing there and laughed, “Duo Er, you don’t need to come down, just leave it to us.”

He knew Liu Duo was afraid to get dirty. She even frowned when she saw them go into the paddy field and get mud all over them for the first time.

Ye Mo lifted up his head when he heard Ye Ling. He saw that Liu Duo had exposed her fair arms and legs. He frowned, showed a bad expression on his face, and said, “You are not allowed to come down. Roll down your sleeves and your trousers! Just wait up there.”

He especially didn’t want others to see her fair body. Although it was just a small part of her arms and legs, he still wouldn’t allow it.

Liu Duo looked at the face Ye Mo pulled and felt especially angry in her heart. Is there something wrong with this bastard? I didn’t do anything to provoke him. Who is he showing that face to? He even laughed, and now he’s pulling a face! I’m still angry at you! What’s with that attitude!

She turned her head and let out a humph. She ignored him, stretched out her legs and then stepped down into the paddy field.

The paddy field wasn’t really that deep. It felt as one would expect and was especially soft. Mud stuck to her legs and was in clear contrast with her fair skin tone.

After both her legs went in, Liu Duo felt that they became much heavier than usual. It was very hard to move in the mud, but she also felt it was very interesting.

“Ling, come and pull me. My legs are stuck, and I can’t move.” She smiled as she stretched out her hands to ask Ye Ling, who wasn’t too far away, to come and help her.

Ye Ling laughed lightly and came over to lead Liu Duo over beside him. “Duo Er, why did you want to come down?”

“Because I want to keep you company!” Liu Duo playfully poked the tip of his straight nose.

“Oh.” Ye Ling’s delicate cheeks started to turn red again. He bent down and continued to transplant the seedlings.

Liu Duo looked at Ye Ling’s movement and also picked up a few rice seedlings with her hands. She copied his movements and placed the rice seedlings into the paddy field.

Ye Ling tilted his head and saw Liu Duo had stuck about seven or eight seedlings in her hands into the mud. The seedlings weren’t planted properly and were moving around. He immediately said, “Duo Er, don’t put too many. Just three or four seedlings is enough. Also, you need to push them in a bit more, otherwise they will fall down.”

He had been too shy and had forgotten to teach her.

“Oh.” Liu Duo listened earnestly and then practiced again.

The smart Liu Duo learned it very quickly, although her speed was a bit slow. She was very happy. She never thought that she would one day be doing farm work, with her face to the ground and her back to the sky – the hard life of a farmer!

After a while, Liu Duo straightened her body and looked at the rice seedlings she had planted. They didn’t look as orderly as Ye Mo’s and Ye Ling’s straight lines, but she was still satisfied. After all, it was the result of her hard work. She wouldn’t dislike it.

“Huuu, I’m so tired. My back is aching.” Liu Duo stretched her back.

“If you are tired then just rest for a while.” Ye Ling laughed. He felt very happy that Liu Duo was doing physical labor with them. This was the feeling of working together as a family.

“Ok. I would know to rest even if you didn’t say anything. I’m not that stupid, hehe…” She finished planting the rest of the seedlings in her hands and then turned around to go back up to the slope.

Liu Duo got used to walking in the paddy field. It was just very slow. Both her arms and legs were covered in mud and it was hard even to scratch herself if she got an itch.
