After riding in the mountains for nearly half a day, Zhuo Feng was indeed tired, so Xiao Xian let her go wash up in the house first.
The village conditions were not yet good enough to have showers, so bathing was just pulling the curtains in Xiao Xian's room and wiping down as necessary.
Xiao Xian sneaked a few bites of food in the kitchen, but Sister-in-law Lian chased her out with a spatula.
She rounded to the outside of the house, wiping the dining table. Zhu Shijun had already picked a melon, setting it aside, while the old man did not notice Xiao Xian coming over and started hoeing the soil with a hoe.
Still swinging the hoe, he dug up the melon vines that had been stripped of their fruit. The old man was skilled when working the field, not at all like the corrupt official Zhuo Feng described him as.
