Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 496 The Orphan Abandoned by the Times 33

Gu Nuanyi weighed the water bottle hanging on her chest and said, "You didn't even drink a sip of water. You can't do this in the afternoon."

Chen Hanyu rubbed the back of Gu Nuanyi's neck with his little face: "I will definitely drink it in the afternoon. I see other children are picking up the milk very quickly, and I don't want to be surpassed by them."

"There's no need to compete with them. We just need to complete the assigned tasks conscientiously. There's no end to competing with others. We just need to live our own lives well. If you feel tired in the afternoon, just take a rest, okay? If you tire yourself out, you might not grow taller in the future."

"I don't want to not grow tall..." Chen Hanyu muttered softly.

Then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Gu Nuanyi felt her neck sink, and when she turned her head, she saw that Chen Hanyu had fallen asleep.

He said nothing more and quietly walked home with Chen Hanyu on his back.

The villagers watched Gu Nuanyi carrying Chen Hanyu away

"It's not easy for these two children. I heard that they are the only ones left at home. The little boy worked so hard that he didn't even drink a sip of water the whole morning."

The man next to him said seriously, "Hey, let me tell you, don't be so kind. We don't even have enough food at home to eat, so don't even think about giving it to those two kids."

"Even if those two kids die of thirst or hunger, it's none of our business, you know?"

"Is it even impossible for me to just talk about it? Really..."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm just reminding you." Seeing the unhappy expression on his wife's face, he hurried forward to coax her: "Let's go home and cook. I'll steam an egg for you at noon. Only when you are full will you have the strength to work."

"Eggs are so expensive, save them for your children"

"So what? Why should we leave the expensive ones to the children? You eat them too."

The woman listened to the man's words, pursed her lips to reveal a smile, glanced at the man coquettishly, and walked home faster.

The man smiled and followed.

the other side

Gu Nuanyi carried Chen Hanyu home on her back. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she did not wake him up for lunch.

He carefully placed the person on the bed, took off his shoes and coat, looked at his pants, hesitated for a moment, and then put his legs under the quilt.

Let it get dirty, just wash the quilt later

Gu Nuanyi was too lazy to cook, so she just ordered rice, stir-fried meat, eggplant and beans from the space.

Put half of it in the pot first, and then call Chen Hanyu to eat before going to work.

I put some eggplant and beans in the rice, and it tasted really good.

After dinner, Gu Nuanyi set an alarm and woke Chen Hanyu up 40 minutes before work to eat.

"Hmm~~" Chen Hanyu rubbed the quilt and said, "Sister Gu, I don't want to eat anymore. Let me sleep for a while."

"No, how can you survive the afternoon without eating?"

"I don't want to get up. I'm so tired." Chen Hanyu, who was still sleepy, spoke in a soft and sticky voice.

But Gu Nuanyi didn't soften her heart, she reached out and pulled the man up

"You have to eat. Didn't you vow to earn work points before? How can you not eat after only half a day?"

Chen Hanyu opened his eyes suddenly and loudly retorted: "Who said I can't do it! I can do it very well!!"

Soon, he closed his eyes again after finally opening them. He leaned his head on Gu Nuanyi's shoulder and whispered, "I just want to rest for a while. This is completely different from when we were working in the mountains before. I'm so tired."

Gu Nuanyi patted Chen Hanyu on the back and comforted him, "Working in a group is definitely different from working on our own. Plus, this time we are rushing to finish the work, so it will definitely be more tiring. Don't just work without thinking. Take a rest when you are tired."

In just two sentences, Chen Hanyu fell asleep again leaning on Gu Nuanyi's shoulder.

Gu Nuanyi sighed helplessly and patted Chen Hanyu's face gently: "Get up"

Chen Hanyu buried his face in Gu Nuanyi's neck and rubbed it: "Sleep a little longer, just a little while!"

"Then don't blame me." Gu Nuanyi put Chen Hanyu on the bed

He turned around, wrung out a towel and covered Chen Hanyu's face directly.

"Hiss!!!" Chen Hanyu sat up straight away, took off the handkerchief from his face and shuddered: "Sister Gu~~"

Gu Nuanyi was unmoved and pointed to the kitchen: "Get up and eat!"

"Oh!" Chen Hanyu got out of bed obediently and paused when he looked at his dirty pants.

Gu Nuanyi noticed Chen Hanyu's gaze and said, "It's okay, just wash it, and go eat quickly. If you keep wasting time, you'll have to go to work on an empty stomach."

"I'll go eat now," Chen Hanyu trotted to the kitchen.

When Gu Nuanyi called Chen Hanyu to get up, she added more fire to the stove. By now, the food was already hot.

Chen Hanyu had just finished eating when the gong sounded.

He put the bowl in the sink and pulled Gu Nuanyi out; "I was praised by the village chief this morning, so I can't be late this afternoon."

In the afternoon when I was working

Chen Hanyu observed the people around him while working, and saw that they would stand up and rest for a while after working for a while.

Several familiar aunts chatted while doing it.

And every time the captain was on patrol, the aunts would bend down and continue working.

The captain didn't notice them gossiping or lazing around.

We've chatted about gossip and done some work, but I'm not tired at all.

Chen Hanyu nodded. I learned it.

After looking around, he stood up and stretched his waist.

He has always been very sensitive to people. When he noticed the captain walking towards this side

Hurry up and bend down to pick up the stone

After the people left, he stood up and stretched his waist.

It is much better to stand up and move around from time to time than in the morning.

Seeing that Gu Nuanyi was still working, Chen Hanyu came up to her and whispered, "Sister Gu, the captain is not here at the moment, you should also take a rest."

"Sure, you've grasped the essence of this in just a short while."

Chen Hanyu raised his head slightly: "I learned all this from the aunts, they are really good."

"The land allocated to us is almost finished, Sister Gu, we don't have to be so anxious."

Gu Nuanyi nodded. They worked quickly in the morning and there wasn't much left now.

Gu Nuanyi and the other person worked for a while and rested for a while. They were both very smart and were not discovered by the captain.

Before the end of the work, Gu Nuanyi and the others finished their work.

Ask the captain to come and check

After checking, Wen Xiangming said, "We have almost picked up all the stones on the ground. You two can help turn the soil tomorrow."

The accountant temporarily acted as a scorekeeper, recording everyone's work points in a notebook.

Accountant: "Let's elect a scorekeeper after the spring."

Cheng Deyi nodded: "Okay, there's not much work to do right now, so I'll trouble Accountant Yan for a few days."

Chen Hanyu returned home and found a notebook, carefully recording his and Gu Nuanyi's work points in the notebook.

"I record the work points every day so that I won't make mistakes when calculating the work points later."
