He roughly wiped the mud on his legs. Water was needed if he wanted to wipe it clean.

Ye Ling dealt with the mud on his legs and then went over beside Liu Duo. He also sat on the floor.

“Ling, you must be tired. Come, I will give you a massage.” She saw that they all had to bend at the waist to pull the weeds. Their back would definitely be aching a lot.

The paddy field was full of water, so they couldn’t squat down. After a while, Liu Duo got tired just from watching.

“I’m still okay. I didn’t really work that long.” Ye Ling felt that it was nothing. Liu and Mo were probably even more tired. They still continued to weed.

She turned around and went behind Ye Ling. Liu Duo pressed both her hands on his shoulder and started to massage. She even knocked on his back to help him relax a bit and to make it ache less.

After ten minutes, Liu Duo asked. “How is it? My technique is still okay, right? It is very comfortable, right?”

“Yeah, thank you, Duo Er. It’s already okay. Come and rest.” Ye Ling was very happy that Liu Duo cared so much about him.

“Okay.”

She sat on the ground near Ye Ling, and both of them looked out at the paddy field. They watched Ye Liu and Ye Mo clearing the weeds on the paddy field.

“Ling, the rice in the paddy field will be sold after it’s harvested right?” They planted rice but didn’t have rice to eat. They could only sell it in exchange for money.

“Yeah. My brothers will sell it and then use the money to buy my medicine and coarse powder.” He thought a while and then said again, “This time we won’t sell all of it. We will leave half for Duo Er to eat.”

Liu Duo didn’t like to eat coarse powder. After the autumn harvest, eating the rice they planted themselves could help to save a bit of money.

She picked up Ye Ling’s hand, placed it on her leg, and patted, “Didn’t I say it before? I don’t only eat. I am a good baby!”

She said in a proud but tender way, “After I struggle for a while, we will eat well and dress well. I even want to renovate the house. We will each have our own room.”

While thinking of this, she started to ponder, what kind of house should she renovate it into?

When Ye Ling saw Liu Duo was very happy, he also became happy. He believed Liu Duo when she said she would give him a surprise after a few days. So he just waited. Even if they didn’t have money, thinking about it and being happy for a while was okay anyhow.

“Okay, I believe you.”

Liu Duo pressed her face against her knee and looked at Ye Ling with a turned head. She felt that during these times, Ye Ling became more cheerful by quite a bit, as he now liked to laugh. Moreover, he believed everything she said.

“Duo Er, why are you looking at me like that? Is there mud on my face?” He even used his sleeve to wipe it.

She shook her head. “Ling, why do you believe me so much? You’re not afraid that I might lie to you?

“No. I believe Duo Er won’t lie to me, because Duo Er is especially good.”

Liu Duo became interested. “I am especially good? Which aspects of me are good?”

Ye Ling thought for a while and said, his handsome face turning red, “Duo Er didn’t complain about my leg illness, didn’t complain about our family, and you shared with us all the meat, egg, and polished rice that we gave to you.”

“Duo Er also thinks to take on responsibilities for this family. She wants to earn money, and, and…”

He stopped talking. Liu Duo stared at him. “Keep going, and what?”

“And, Duo Er is the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen. She is even our wife. I am so happy.” He said with a red face.

Liu Duo laughed loudly when she heard this. She was indeed a bit more charming and prettier than most girls, but she definitely wasn’t someone who was exceedingly beautiful.

She was still happy that Ye Ling gave her such a high evaluation.

She got close to Ye Ling, her pretty face only one fist’s length away from Ye Ling, and said, “Ling, you described me as being so good, so do you like me?”

This was the first time he had been so close to a girl. Her big black eyes blinked as she stared at him. Even Ye Ling’s ears became red. He averted his gaze and didn’t look at Liu Duo.
