Under the sunlight, Shen Mo stared blankly at Jiang Xia's smiling face. He wasn't sure if it was the nature of girls her age to mature quickly. When they first met, he had thought of Jiang Xia as a small girl. Now, however, he felt her features seemed to have grown and matured.

Sensing Shen Mo's gaze on her, Jiang Xia turned around, "What's wrong?"

Shen Mo averted his eyes. "Nothing, it just seems like you have a lot of secrets."

The comment caught Jiang Xia off guard, but she didn't let it show on her face. "I don't have many secrets. I've just seen a lot, my parents taught me a lot, and I think a lot. That's all!"

This time, Shen Mo didn't respond. He stood up and went to work with the other villagers.

From the time the village chief announced the start of the autumn harvest to the time everything was done, it took about half a month.
