Don't be fooled by the thirty pounds of paddy, it may seem a lot, but there are two teenagers in their group, and it's the time when they have the biggest appetites.
Those thirty pounds would barely last for 15 meals.
But she had plenty of time.
So, Bai Junjun quickly dried the freshly harvested paddy and carelessly tossed the thirty pounds into a sack she found in the storeroom before she ran off to find Bai Sasa, feigning excitement.
Bai Junjun pretended to have found a half bag of paddy in the storeroom, with acting skills nearly as poor as Bai Sasa's.
Bai Sasa, unsuspecting, happily pounded the grains to remove their husks.
She even bowed in gratitude towards the Village Chief's room, not forgetting to give thanks.
And so, Sasa cheerfully went to make a fire and cook, completely oblivious to her elder sister's odd acting.
"..." Li Wenli.
...
The villagers usually didn't return from the fields until around seven or eight in the evening.
