Early the next morning, Tang Qiu was awakened by the sound of birds.

When he opened his eyes, Tang Qiu could see the blue sky at once because there was transparent cloth above them.

Because she was too tired, she didn't even notice that a bug had bitten her at night, and she felt itchy all over when she woke up.

After getting dressed and coming out of the shed, Tang Qiu checked her own pulse as usual. After making sure there was no problem, she stretched. A night's sleep made her feel energetic.

However, there are too many weeds here, which leads to too many mosquitoes. Therefore, the weeds here must be cleared.

So Tang Qiu found some tools and started clearing the weeds in the entire yard.

Tang Qiu had just finished clearing the grass in front of his shed, thatched house and kitchen shed when he heard voices outside the fence. Turning around, he saw several people getting off Ai Qiangsheng's tricycle.

Ai Qiangsheng saw Tang Qiu and greeted her: "Qiuqiu, these are the uncles from the village. They are here to repair your house today. Here, this is the breakfast your aunt made for you. Go and eat it. You are not needed here."

Tang Qiu looked at everyone and said hurriedly, "Hello, uncles and aunts."

Everyone has heard about Tang Qiu's experiences outside, and everyone is quite sad. Everyone also knows about Tang Qiu's parents and knows that this child is pitiful.

Some of them grew up naked with Tang Qiu's father. When Tang Qiu's grandfather was here, this was the favorite place for children in the village. Everyone came here to eat delicious food.

Therefore, they tried to take better care of Tang Qiu.

Seeing how dilapidated this place is, everyone discussed for a long time and finally decided to demolish the original house and rebuild it.

Hearing this, Tang Qiu said, "Uncles, please help clean this place up. I'll find someone to do the rest. Everyone has their own work to do, and they can't keep wasting time just for me."

Who knows Ai Qiangsheng waved his hand: "Why spend that money? Don't worry, this small house will only take a day or two. It's not a big deal for you to live in that shed."

Tang Qiu thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."

So everyone got busy, and at this time, Tang Qiu was sitting on a rock outside, eating the breakfast made by Aunt Ai and watching everyone busy.

After dinner, Tang Qiu washed the lunch box and put it there. Then he moved all the things in the kitchen shed out and washed and wiped the faucet. He also counted the things in the kitchen that were still usable.

Afterwards, I was working on modifying the stove with mud, but was seen by an uncle who took over the job.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Tang Qiu simply said hello to Ai Qiangsheng and left.

She remembered the way to the small supermarket and planned to buy some food. She couldn't let others work hard for her for half a day and not even give her a meal.

To get from her home to the village, one has to go up a slope and then walk for about an incense stick of time, which is about fifteen minutes in today's time.

Tang Qiu came to the small supermarket that Ai Qiangsheng had mentioned before and started shopping.

Pots, pans, and chopsticks. There were also various seasonings, vegetables, and meat. Tang Qiu bought whatever he saw and thought was necessary. Just as Tang Qiu lowered his head to choose something, a voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Tang Qiu? Is it really you?"

Tang Qiu looked up and saw a young boy standing in front of him. His ears turned red as he saw Tang Qiu looking at him.

Tang Qiu didn't know him, so he smiled and lowered his head to continue shopping.

At this moment, Tang Qiu heard a girl say, "Song Zhe was talking to you and you didn't even respond to him. Tang Qiu, what do you think you are capable of? Why are you so arrogant?"

Tang Qiu then raised his head: "Who are you? Who are you to him?"

In an instant, the woman who had originally stood up for Song Zhe fell silent: "I, you are bullying me!"

Tang Qiu was speechless. She was sure that she was asking questions and didn't say anything weird, right?

"I had a head injury and now I can't remember my past memories, so I really don't know you."

"What? You must be kidding, right? Tang Qiu, are you acting in a TV show? And you lost your memory? Did you forget about an important lover?"

Tang Qiu really had no way to communicate with such a person, so she explained what she needed to explain anyway.

Ignoring these people, Tang Qiu continued to buy what he needed, then walked away from the two of them.

"Hey, why did Qiuqiu buy so many things?"

Tang Qiu had a good impression of the elders in the village. Perhaps among the people working for her family today, there were family members of this family: "Hello, auntie. Today, the uncles and aunts in the village built a house for me. I plan to make some food."

After hearing what Tang Qiu said, the aunt in the supermarket waved her hands and said, "Oh, just let them go home to eat, there's no need to make such a fuss. Your uncle always said that when they were young, they went downstairs to eat delicious food. What's the big deal about building a house now?"

Tang Qiu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal to have a meal. You go ahead and do your work. I'll be home soon."

The aunt looked at Tang Qiu and saw that he had spent two or three hundred yuan on all these things. It was a lot, and Tang Qiu, who was so small, couldn't afford to take them all back. "Wait, I'll send them back to you."

"Song Zhe, you look after the store while Mom takes the things back to Qiuqiu."

Song Zhe went over and said, "Mom, how about I go and take it there?"

The aunt looked at her son with contempt. How could she not know what her son was thinking? She hoped that her son and Qiuqiu could get along well, but it was obvious that Qiuqiu didn't have that kind of attitude towards him. Besides, the girl from the Zhao family was clinging to her son too much. If she didn't like Qiuqiu and made trouble for her, why bother?

"Come on, you don't know how to drive the tricycle at home. Just stay home. Qiuqiu, let's go."

As she said that, the aunt helped Tang Qiu carry the things and went out.

Song Zhe's mother brought Tang Qiu to Tang Qiu's home, and everyone was working in full swing.

After thanking Song Zhe's mother, Tang Qiu carried the things and walked to the kitchen with difficulty.

It is summer now and the weather is quite hot. Tang Qiu was worried that these uncles would get heatstroke, so he cooked some mung bean soup with rock sugar, cooled it down with cold water, and asked everyone to come and drink it.

"Uncles, drink some water before you do anything else."

No one felt thirsty at first, but when they looked at the soft mung bean soup, they felt cool and thought that they still had time to drink a bowl of water, so they stopped what they were doing and came over to drink the soup with dusty faces.

"Why is this mung bean soup so delicious?"

"Yeah, it's really enjoyable to drink."

Tang Qiu smiled and replied, "There's rock sugar in it. There's more in this bowl. If it's not enough, drink another bowl."

Tang Qiu cooked a big pot, and everyone drank it all. After drinking, they washed their own bowls, so Tang Qiu didn't have to work hard.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but after drinking the mung bean soup, everyone felt much better and had more energy.

No one thought that the mung bean soup had this effect. They all thought that people were tired from work and took a break to recover their strength.

The weather was too hot, and Tang Qiu knew that she couldn't continue working until around 11:00 in the morning, or else she would get heat stroke. So she simply started making lunch.

At half past ten, a rich aroma wafted out of the pot, making the uncles and aunts who were working couldn't help but look over there.

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "What's the good food for Qiuqiu today? It smells so good."

Tang Qiu was still busy. When he heard someone asking, he raised his head and replied, "The stewed meat is not ready yet. It needs to be simmered for half an hour."

Afterwards, Tang Qiu made pancakes and fried vegetables. The small vegetable table at home was completely filled with food.

Just then, Song Zhe's mother came again: "Oh, I thought you were too busy, so I hurried over to help you. I didn't expect you to have already done it."

Tang Qiu knew that now was the time for everyone to start cooking. Only Song Zhe's mother knew that she was going to cook for everyone. Her family ran a supermarket and they couldn't do without people, so she must have found time to come here.

Tang Qiu brought the chopsticks to the table and said, "It's hot now, so I want everyone to eat early and go back to rest, instead of working in the hot sun. Auntie, come and eat something with us."

Song Zhe's mother waved her hand: "Forget it, forget it. There are people at home who need to eat. You don't need to help here, so I'll go back first."

Tang Qiu handed over the bowl of meat in his hand: "Then Auntie, please try my cooking skills and see where I am not good at it."

Looking at the meat in the bowl, Song Zhe's mother knew that Tang Qiu bought a lot of meat, so she didn't act pretentiously: "Okay, I'll send you a can of pickled vegetables from my house later. That stuff helps relieve greasiness."

Tang Qiu responded: "Okay. I'll be waiting for you then."
