My Super Farming System

C35 - A Carefree Life

After spending two days with Sun's father, Zhao Yuegu escorted Xia Guo and Xu Qing out of the village. Currently, he was the only one in the village who wasn't elderly or infirm, and thus the only one capable of helping them leave. Sun Ying, however, was kept behind by her father.

"Why are you getting in my car? You're Brother Lin's driver," Sun's father questioned.

"I'm heading home!"

"Home? You need to be dedicated to your job. Get back to work," he insisted, shooing her away with a wave of his hand.

Sun Ying stood there, utterly bewildered. Was she really not allowed to go home?

"Don't worry, I'll talk to your mom tonight. She won't be anxious about you," Sun's father reassured her before driving off, leaving Sun Ying alone, her hair tousled by the wind.

"What kind of person is he?" Zhao Yuegu mused, finding the father-daughter duo quite amusing.

Sun Ying, with a look of inner turmoil, turned to Zhao Yuegu. "Boss, it looks like you're my only option now."

"If you don't mind the village's rustic charm, then come with me."

"Mind? Not at all. Let's get going." Sun Ying was quick to act, and she also grasped her father's intentions. Yet, she couldn't help but think...

She was still just a driver. Advancing further in her career seemed like a daunting challenge.

On the return trip, Zhao Yuegu checked on the construction progress and was genuinely impressed. The pace was remarkably swift, and the intersection was already stacked with heaps of raw materials.

"Everbreach Construction Company really lives up to its reputation as a major firm," Zhao Yuegu thought to himself. However, he estimated that completing the construction would take at least another two months.

"Let's head back," he said.

The vehicle, Wu Lu Si, tore through the muddy terrain, splashing water and eliciting a series of startled screams from Sun Ying.

"Take it easy!" she pleaded.

Zhao Yuegu just laughed, pressing the accelerator even deeper, enjoying the thrill as the car soared and then thudded back to earth. The joy of off-roading was undeniable, and he even considered preserving this road as a challenge for other enthusiasts—a perfect blend of farming and fun.

Thanks to their speedy journey, they made it home before nightfall, where they found Ma Yabei imparting knowledge to Xueman.

To be precise, she was engrossed in a story.

Xueman was captivated, hanging on every word.

"Can you cook?" Zhao Yuegu inquired of Sun Ying.

"Of course, just watch me, boss," Sun Ying replied confidently before darting into the kitchen.

Back at home, she had honed her culinary skills—a surefire way to win a man's heart is through his stomach, after all! But her confidence quickly waned.

"Where's the gas stove?"

"We don't have one, but there's plenty of firewood."

Sun Ying was on the verge of tears at the sight of the stacked logs. How on earth was she supposed to light this?

Luckily, Xueman stepped in and saved the day.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuegu ventured to the backyard, admiring the spotless house that Sun's father had tidied.

"He's got the makings of an entrepreneur, alright. Even dusting is done to perfection."

"The furniture's been waxed and maintained so well, it barely looks used."
