Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

After finishing the iron sheets, the whistle sounded for the end of work. The brother and sister helped to pick and wash the vegetables so that they could start cooking when the female educated youth came back.

After dinner, the brother and sister rested for a while before taking the iron sheets to the new house. They did not plan to go to work in the afternoon and planned to work at the new house. Although they could only make some adobe bricks, it could save some time.

Seeing Song Shuangshuang and her brother leave, Cao Qi curled his lips in disdain and said in front of everyone, "You just know how to show off." No one reacted, they were all used to it. Cao Qi had said this kind of thing a lot in the past few days. Of course, Cao Qi didn't dare to say it in front of Song Youlin, he said it behind his back.

The brother and sister didn't know about this, and He Feiyang would not tell Song Youlin about these trivial matters, as it would make herself seem like a gossip.

Song Shuangshuang came to the new house and unexpectedly found someone working there.

She and Song Youlin had not come to the house at noon since they started repairing the house, and she also told the people who came to help that they didn't need to come at noon as it was too hot, and could come after work in the evening. As long as the repairs could be completed before the autumn harvest, it would be fine.

When I pushed open the newly built gate, I saw Jiang Xiaowu and Jiang Xiaoyao working in the yard.

Jiang Xiaowu rolled up his trouser legs to his thighs and stepped into the mud pile to mix it. Jiang Xiaoyao was making adobe bricks using the wooden mold brought by Aunt Chang.

Jiang Xiaowu and his sister were startled to see the courtyard door opened, and felt a little uneasy when they saw that it was Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin who came.

Song Shuangshuang frowned and looked at the brother and sister, and spoke in a somewhat stiff tone, "Why are you two here? Didn't you say you didn't need to come at noon?" She didn't know how many days these two silly kids had been here, and she didn't even know.

Jiang Xiaoyao didn't know where to put her muddy hands, so she could only look at her brother.

Jiang Xiaowu grabbed his trouser leg and said, "We have nothing to do at noon, so we came to help make some adobe bricks."

"You have nothing to do at noon, so you come to work? Do you think I'm easy to fool? Xiaowu, how many days have you been here with your sister?" Song Shuangshuang was amused by Jiang Xiaowu's reason. Nothing to do? Who doesn't rest at home at noon? The brother and sister earned little work points, so it was good enough to have enough food. "If you don't rest at noon to save your energy, what will you do in the afternoon?"

"No... just a few days."

Song Shuangshuang almost didn't hear what Jiang Xiaowu was saying.

“…I don’t think I’ve been doing this for a few days.”

Song Shuangshuang looked at the finished adobe bricks and estimated that the brother and sister had just finished their meal and came to work. Sighing, Song Shuangshuang walked over and wiped the mud off Jiang Xiaoyao's face with a handkerchief she brought with her.

The little girl lowered her head in embarrassment, and a few strands of soft yellow hair fell down. Song Shuangshuang helped tuck her hair behind her ears. Then she looked at Jiang Xiaowu standing in the mud and said with a little heartache:

"Xiaowu, you and Xiaoyao are still young, what if you get sunburned in the middle of the day?"

"Don't blame me, brother. I came here because I wanted to. I can't eat the candy Song Zhiqing gave me for nothing."

Song Shuangshuang was somewhat helpless, and afraid to say anything more to upset the little girl, Song Shuangshuang could only say that this was only once, and she was not allowed to come at noon again. Otherwise, she would not let her and Jiang Xiaowu come to work.

Song Shuangshuang put the "shelf" she brought in the house, rolled up her sleeves and came out to make adobe bricks with Jiang Xiaoyao, while Song Youlin and Jiang Xiaowu fetched water and mud, and when the mud was gone, they continued to dig a vegetable cellar together. Song Youlin couldn't understand why he and his sister hired so many people, and they had to do it too, how uneconomical!

This lasted until it was time to go to work. While Jiang Xiaowu and Jiang Xiaoyao were washing their feet and hands, Song Shuangshuang got two pieces of chocolate from the supermarket and gave them to the brother and sister.

She was afraid that the two men had not eaten enough at noon and had to work for her all day, and would faint from exhaustion when they went to work in the afternoon.

The brother and sister had never heard of chocolate and refused to take it.

Song Shuangshuang deliberately put on a stern face and said, "You must eat it!"

Seeing that the two were still refusing, Song Shuangshuang asked Song Youlin to put it into Jiang Xiaowu's mouth.

Jiang Xiaowu shut up and refused to eat. Song Youlin said "I'm sorry" and directly opened the chocolate package, put the chocolate on Jiang Xiaowu's mouth, and then said lightly "It's stained with your saliva, you have to eat it."

Jiang Xiaowu was stunned and took a few steps back.

Song Shuangshuang had never thought that her brother could do this. She sighed in her heart, "Beautiful!" and turned to look at Jiang Xiaoyao, who was holding a chocolate and smiling like the old witch in Snow White.

Jiang Xiaoyao: "...I'll eat it. Thank you, Sister Song." She took the opened chocolate and put it in her mouth.

Song Shuangshuang saw Jiang Xiaoyao's face twitching a few times, and thought that she had taken the wrong chocolate again. She looked down at the package in her hand and found that she had taken the right one.

It was the first time that Jiang Xiaoyao had eaten something with this taste, sweet and a little bitter.

Song Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't take the wrong one.

On the other side, Jiang Xiaowu took the piece of chocolate stained with his saliva from Song Youlin's hand with a red face, put it in his mouth, and was reluctant to eat it.

It was not until the second whistle sounded that Jiang Xiaowu came to his senses. He called Jiang Xiaoyao and ran to work.

Song Youlin walked to the door and closed it. When he came to his senses, he saw his sister looking at him. He felt a little puzzled. "Why are you looking at me?"

Song Shuangshuang laughed out loud, "Hahaha! How did you think of doing that just now?" Jiang Xiaowu was shocked.

Song Youlin blushed, he didn't know what to think. He originally wanted to control Jiang Xiaowu and force it into his mouth, but he felt that the relationship between the two was not close enough to play around, so he didn't dare to do that. His mind suddenly pulled...

Seeing that his sister was still laughing at him, Song Youlin kept a cold face and said nothing, staring straight into Song Shuangshuang's eyes.

The more Song Shuangshuang laughed, the more guilty she sounded. In the end, she only dared to laugh dryly twice, and finally shut up. She hadn't been with her brother for more than a month since she came here, and she had gotten used to ordering her brother around during this period. She almost forgot that Song Youlin could be quite fierce when he was serious. She had to be more careful in the future. If outsiders saw this, she would be so embarrassed.

Song Youlin had a cold face and asked Song Shuangshuang to continue making adobe bricks.

Song Shuangshuang said, "Oh..." and went to work obediently. She was sometimes very depressed. She was the elder sister, but she had to listen to her younger brother all the time. It was really...

The brother and sister spent half a day making adobe bricks. During that time, they did not have enough soil, so they dug a vegetable cellar together. Later, they stopped because they were afraid that the cellar would collapse. In this way, they made a lot of adobe bricks and almost filled up the backyard.

This courtyard actually has a wall, but it has collapsed in many places due to wind and sun in recent years, so Song Shuangshuang simply decided to repair the wall and build it higher. After the repair, she will put some broken porcelain and glass on top, so that she will not be afraid of someone climbing over the wall to get in.

We must always be on guard against others, who knows if there are any thieves in the nearby villages.

After working for a long time, Song Shuangshuang felt more tired than usual. When washing her hands, she couldn't get rid of the mud in the cracks of her fingernails. She was so angry that she sat on the ground, got a bag of chicken feet from the supermarket, and used the corner of the bag to pick out the mud. She also took one out for Song Youlin.

Song Youlin's mouth twitched when he saw this, but he also picked his nails like Song Shuangshuang.

After picking her nails and washing her hands, Song Shuangshuang opened the chicken claws and started chewing them...
