In the afternoon, as the timekeeper blew the whistle, it was time to get off work.

Chu Yuechuan pulled a cart and put corn cobs into snakeskin bags. He filled two bags and placed them at both ends of the cart. He continued to fill the middle. When it was full, he filled five or six bags with bags and stacked them up and tied them with hemp ropes.

Chu Mo looked at the height higher than him and realized that the weight at noon was nothing.

"Let's go back together. You go home first. I'll deliver the corn to the threshing ground of the team." Chu Yuechuan said to Chu Mo. After a long time of contact, Chu Yuechuan had discovered that as long as he spoke to Chu Mo a little slower, Chu Mo could understand without writing.

Chu Mo did not cut corners during the half day. His legs and feet, which had rested well before, were no longer his own, and his wrists were also sore.

"Okay, then I'll go back and cook dinner and wait for you." Chu Mo didn't bother to be polite with Chu Yuechuan and wrote a line of words to Chu Yuechuan.

Chu Yuechuan pulled the cart in front and Chu Mo pushed it in the back. The two pushed the cart to the vicinity of the second team, and Chu Yuechuan asked Chu Mo to go home first.

Chu Yuechuan looked away and continued to pull the cart only after seeing Chu Mo enter the house.

After Chu Yuechuan unloaded the corn, he was still not at ease, so he turned to the Chu family to take a look. He only saw that under the gray sky and the background of the earthy yellow walls, the grandfather was sitting on a chair under the eaves, holding a tea porcelain cup and drinking water, with a smile on his face, and his younger brother, the puppy, was also circling around a thin figure.

This figure was kneeling on the cool mat, sewing the quilt cover and cotton wool together in the light.

The quilt cover of the Chu family was directly attached to the cotton wool, without any other cover. Chu Mo noticed this at noon, and while the water was boiling, he sewed the quilt before it was completely black, and then repaired the gaps that had been torn when he washed it at noon.

Chu Mo couldn't hear the sound, but he had a special feeling. He turned his head and saw Chu Yuechuan, his black eyes sparkling and his skin sweating.

Chu Mo smiled at Chu Yuechuan, immediately put down the things in his hand, got up and went to the stove room to get a towel and a bowl of cooled warm water and handed them to Chu Yuechuan.

Chu Yuechuan didn't expect Chu Mo to sew a quilt for them.

He looked like a delicate porcelain doll, but he had various characteristics of "being able to live" that didn't match his appearance.

While Chu Yuechuan was stunned, Chu Mo had already stepped on his heels and took a towel to wipe Chu Yuechuan's sweat.

Chu Yuechuan felt a familiar smell and took two steps back.

"There are two more cars. I'll go first." Chu Yuechuan said.

Chu Mo took a few quick steps and held Chu Yuechuan, handed him the bowl of water, frowned and looked at him, motioning him to drink water.

Chu Mo sweats less, even though he was so tired before, he didn't sweat much, but Chu Yuechuan was different. His clothes looked like they were soaked in the rain.

He needed to replenish water.

Chu Yuechuan picked up the water Chu Mo handed him and drank it all in one breath, then waved to Chu Mo and left quickly.

Chu Mo went back to sew the quilt. After finishing, he laid out the bedding in the room and helped Grandpa Chu go in to rest. He went out to continue cooking.
