Nian Shutong didn't wait for the delivery to arrive; she did what she needed to do without hurry.
Still wearing her worn-out clothes, she prepared to go out and work in the fields.
It wasn't until Nian Shutong reached a distant part of the field that she realized it had been a long time since she had worked the land.
She didn't bother with any machinery and simply grabbed a hoe to join Lin Mu, digging side by side.
The two worked in silence, heads bowed, focused on their tasks.
Lin Mu, majoring in Physical Ability, used the labor to distract herself, so she worked very fast.
Nian Shutong was another case entirely, more like a steel monster, showing no signs of fatigue.
They quickly cleared a large patch of land, which would soon be planted with new crops.
In the evening, the two returned to the small wooden house together, with Lin Mu preparing to go back to her own place.
"Lin Mu, are you eating alone?"
"Yes."
