444 I ask the sky in silence.
As long as you like it.
After the Su family finished their meal, they started working in the fields again.
Liu walked up to her and said, "Dani, take a break. You've already cut a lot."
"It's okay. I'm strong and not tired at all. Let's finish the mowing and go home early."
Su Qiao thought of a plan and felt particularly happy, so he worked more enthusiastically.
"Then slow down a bit and don't get too tired. Your hand is injured, so use your sleeve to hold it tight so it doesn't get stained with dust."
Liu was a little worried and gave instructions one by one.
Su Qiao gave her a bright smile: "Okay, I understand, Second Aunt, you should go back to your place. I have myself, my brother and my father here."
"Okay then, Second Aunt and Second Uncle will go over there."
With Dani here this year, big brother doesn't need their help anymore.
Su Huaian advised dryly: "If you are tired, take a rest. If you can't finish cutting, your second uncle will come to cut it later."
Su Qiao also gave him a smile: "Okay."

Just as it got dark that night and the Su family had just returned home, Xia Lizheng came over with his son, carrying two pieces of bacon and a bag of peanut candy.
After listening to him, the old man neither agreed nor refused. He just said that the matter depended on the attitude of the higher-ups.
As for the bacon and sugar, he accepted them without any hesitation.
It's only right to give these things to his grandchildren to calm them down.
Although this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Xia Xiaodie, even if it weren't for her, his granddaughter would not have been able to rescue him.
But in the end, it was Xia Xiaodie who caused trouble, which caused his grandchildren to almost die in the coal mine.
If he really had to choose, he would rather die and leave his granddaughter and grandson alive.
I am an old man and won’t live for many more years, but it is different for my grandchildren, whose life has just begun.

Su Qiao only helped with the work for half a day before the old man stopped her.
First, she was worried that the wound on her hand would come into contact with water, and second, she still had to deal with the tooth powder.
Because they also had to make toothbrushes, even the second brother Su Yihe was allowed to work only half a day.
So, starting from the next day, Su Qiao dried the herbs he had dug earlier and went up the mountain again with the basket on his back.
Because he was familiar with the properties of various herbs and they were not rare, it didn't take Su Qiao long to dig a large backpack and add a rattan bag.
He was about to head back with his things on his back, but unexpectedly his luck was bad and he ran into Yuan Wu, Yuan Liu and others who were coming down from Coal Hill at the foot of the mountain.
Su Qiao glanced at the carriage in the middle of the team.
That guy should be in there.
She didn't say anything, just put down the backpack, bowed perfunctorily over there, and moved aside.
The carriage did not move forward, but stopped instead.
Yuan Liu jumped off his horse, walked forward and bowed: "Miss Su, what a coincidence."
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
If she had known she would run into them, she would definitely not have gone down the mountain from this side.
Yuan Liu had sharp eyes. He glanced at the things in her backpack and was a little surprised: "Miss Su, are these herbs?"
"Well, I went up the mountain to dig some herbs."
At this time, Yuan Wu got off the horse, walked over calmly, and bowed: "Miss Su, my master invites you to get in the carriage and have a chat."
"Please help me report to your master that I am dirty and will not dirty his carriage."
Su Qiao glanced at the window of the carriage.
She always felt that the man was looking at her through the curtains.
Because she felt like she was being stared at by some dangerous animal.
