Chapter 1187 - 376: Settlement, Saving People_2
Xiao Ruiyuan didn’t quite understand her thoughts, and seeing the regret in her brows, he couldn’t help but comfort her, "Just because you can’t now doesn’t mean you can’t in the future, even the day might come when women can enter the court and become officials."
"Mm." Mo Yan nodded with a smile, her eyes brimming with an indescribable sense of happiness. She was merely expressing a fleeting sentiment, aware that it was unrealistic for women to attend school, but she still felt warmed by the man’s words.
Even though there was a significant gap in thinking between her and this man, at least he respected her. If it were another man hearing her words, he’d likely sneer and dismiss her with "A woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent," just like her father had, chuckling while telling her she was "talking nonsense" when she first voiced her complaints!
Xiao Ruiyuan, seeing the adoring and joyful gaze from his fiancée, felt a bit tipsy and suddenly wanted to do something in return. So, he followed the deep longing in his heart, pulled Mo Yan into his arms, and gave her a deep kiss...
Spring faded to summer, and the year’s hottest season arrived in the blink of an eye. This year’s summer seemed particularly brutal. Just entering June, the entire land felt like a huge steamer, and even sitting still without moving would leave clothes damp and clinging to the body. The heat was unbearable even for Mo Yan, who didn’t typically mind it, let alone others.
Fortunately, while the weather was hot, the rainfall remained plentiful, as in past years. But the fields couldn’t withstand the scorching sun and required frequent watering. The villagers had to go out to carry water for the fields early in the morning and sometimes work at dusk when it was cooler, which was extremely hard work.
The Mo Family’s fields were all taken care of by hired help. They didn’t have to worry about the water supply. Even without rain for a period, the fruit seedlings in the orchards needed watering every three to five days. After entering June, Zhao Mu and others were busily at work almost every day without rest.
The elderly with weak constitutions or chronic diseases had improved significantly after half a year of rest, eating grains and vegetables from the "Space" and regularly drinking diluted Spirit Spring Water, along with frequent check-ups from doctors from Du’s Medical Hall. They regained enough strength to do some light work, such as weeding or pruning, without much difference in pace compared to others.
