It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 298

Although Jiang Yan had learned a lesson from the past two years and was advised not to create unnecessary trouble, she still paid attention to the matter consciously or unconsciously, but kept her doubts hidden in her heart.

Until the New Year was approaching, the government paid the four temporary workers their wages and let them go home to celebrate the festival. Jiang Yuan and Jiang Nian also saved up their time and rushed back to Dongshan Village together. Uncle Fu and Aunt Qian would stay for two days.

Jiang Xing, the oldest and in charge of directing the younger ones to shovel snow on the village roads, heard the commotion beside him and turned to look: "Hey, everyone's back! Hurry up and get a shovel and get to work!"

After a while, Jiang Yun waved the shovel a few times and glanced at Jiang Ai and Jiang Yan.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ai stopped and wiped his face, and there was no dust on his palms.

Jiang Yun: "Sister, I feel like you've changed a lot."

"Is there?" Jiang Ai looked at the others with an inquiring look.

Jiang Yan followed the sound and observed Jiang Ai. Is there any change?

Jiang Yun said, "Yes, you give me the feeling that you are much more confident now, and your voice has become louder."

A month ago, Jiang Ai's eyes still showed some hesitation, avoidance and retreat, but now he is obviously determined.

Jiang Yun then said to Jiang Yan who was watching from the side, "Sister Xiaoyan, you've changed a bit too. You've gained some weight on your face."

"Really?" Jiang Yan happily pinched the soft flesh on her cheek. "No wonder I don't feel the pillow digging into my chin when I sleep these days."

Jiang Ying and Jiang An looked at each other with bright eyes, full of anticipation for Jiang Yun's sharp eyes.

Jiang Yun paused, then said sympathetically, "You two have lost a lot of weight. Your work must be very tiring."

The two people, who were not fat to begin with, looked noticeably bony after losing weight, as if they had experienced a period of famine.

Jiang Ying nodded in agreement. "Ever since we were assigned to do the accounting, I haven't had a full night's sleep. I either dream of making a mistake with the abacus, or missing a significant amount while doing the calculations, and then the manager takes the money back from me."

This is really scary.

But why was Jiang An like that? He couldn't find a reason himself. He ate well, slept well, and had no worries.

Jiang Xing was helpless with this group of young people who were just standing there doing nothing: "He must be sick."

Pulling? Jiang Yan walked over to Jiang An with a smile and said, "Stand up straight for a moment."

Jiang Yan quickly compared the height difference between the two of them, and shoveled the snow with a rhythmic and cheerful manner.

The height difference didn't narrow much. Jiang An grew taller, which meant she grew taller.

Jiang Xing urged them to work faster, as if they delayed any longer the sun would disappear and a strong wind would start to blow, making it uncomfortable. He then told them about the latest situation in Dongshan Village.

Several groups of refugees that might have previously threatened the safety of the village were stopped before entering Rongcheng County, and the pressure on patrols was much less.

"Really? That's great!" Jiang Ying said happily, "We can go into the mountains and catch rabbits again."

"It's very cold, girls, don't go in." Jiang Xing advised, and then asked curiously, "Haven't you heard about this in the city?"

"know."

"Nope."

The only ones who said they knew were Jiang Yan, Jiang An, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Nian, while Jiang Yan and Jiang Ai had confused expressions.

Jiang Ai finally looked at Jiang Yuan and Jiang Nian: "...did they miss us?"

Jiang Yuan and Jiang Nian shook their heads. They were both so busy trying to find some time to rest that they hadn't seen each other since they entered the mansion.

Jiang An: "I heard Sister Yan muttering."

Jiang Yan: "I guessed it myself."

If you ask Jiang Yan what pieces of information she used to draw this conclusion, she really relies more on her feelings than on evidence.

While getting her dinner, she heard some gossip from people around her, and they looked proud. After listening two or three times, she roughly pieced together several possible keywords and came up with this guess.

"So awesome?!" Jiang Yuan became interested and switched work positions with Jiang Nian to discuss in detail.
