It was already around 7:30 pm.

However, since it's July and summer, it gets dark relatively slowly.

Even though it was already 7:30, it was still not dark.

The car was driving on the village road.

Jiang Hao's timeline from another world is 21 years, so in reality, he is nine years older than his counterpart in this world.

The city's name has changed.

But the village is still the same village he remembers.

Of course, it's the same as always, a dirt road.

Jiang Hao remembers that the village roads would not be paved with cement until 15, and streetlights would not be installed until 16.

It's still early.

The village is still made of yellow mud and there are no streetlights.

When people go out at night, almost everyone in the village carries a flashlight.

As for cell phones, that little bit of light isn't enough to illuminate anything.

And it's only been 12 years now.

Smartphones are common in big cities, but in rural areas, few people still own old Nokia phones, let alone smartphones.

The road was in poor condition, with pebbles mixed in with the yellow mud.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao was a skilled driver and drove relatively steadily, avoiding any potholes.

The car will only sway if it's absolutely unavoidable.

Qi Lin sat in the passenger seat, looking at the scenery outside the car window.

Jiang Hao's village is called Pinghe Village, but he has never looked into how it got its name.

The scenery is indeed very nice.

There is a river not far away, with crystal clear water and fruit trees planted in many places.

Various vegetables are planted in the fields.

This is the season for cucumbers, cowpeas, eggplants, tomatoes, and peppers.

Therefore, these vegetables are the main crops planted in the fields.

In addition, Qilin also saw a melon field where people were picking watermelons.

The car continued to drive.

Suddenly, Qi Lin felt the car stop.

"Have we arrived?" Qi Lin asked uncertainly.

The main problem is that they are still on the road, and there are no houses nearby.

"No, my parents aren't home."

"what?"

"Look, those are them in the field over there."

Jiang Hao pointed to a patch of land outside his car window.

Two figures could be seen bending over in the field from time to time.

Those were Jiang Hao's parents, his father Jiang Chenhao and his mother Wang Mei.

They are picking eggplants in the field right now.

It's eggplant season now, and they've planted a lot of eggplants. If they don't harvest them quickly and transport them to the county town to sell, the eggplants will get too old.

It will be even harder to sell then.

Jiang Hao had anticipated this scene.

He knew that even if he transferred 100,000 yuan to them, it would be useless.

They still work hard in the fields every day.

He doesn't deny that hard work is good, but as a child, he genuinely hopes his parents can have a better life.

After all, they have already worked hard enough to raise me.

When he was still an ordinary person, he would have felt uncomfortable standing in the scorching sun for half an hour.

The parents, however, would work all day long. The kind of hardship they endured was something that city kids who grew up in the city and had never done farm work could never understand.

The saying "Every grain is hard-earned" will only be truly understood when you actually work in the fields.

After saying that, Jiang Hao opened the car door.

Seeing this, Qi Lin opened the car door and got out of the car as well.

After all, Jiang Hao got out of the car, so she couldn't stay in the car any longer.

Jiang Hao didn't get off the ground, after all, he wasn't alone, Qi Lin was with him.

Qi Lin was wearing sandals, and they were short, high-heeled sandals.

It's obvious that they can't get down on the ground.

"Dad...Mom..." Jiang Hao shouted loudly.

His voice was loud, and Jiang's father and mother, who were working in the field, heard it immediately.

"Old Jiang, I think I hear my son's voice."

“It’s not just a sound like him, it’s your son’s voice,” Jiang’s father said, straightening up.

Because he had already seen Jiang Hao and Qi Lin standing by the roadside.

"Look over there, isn't that your precious son back?"

"There was a woman standing next to him."

"Really?" Upon hearing that Jiang Hao had brought a woman with him, Jiang's mother immediately smiled.

Her biggest worry right now is her son getting married.

Although her son inherited her good genes and is handsome.

But her family's financial situation was too poor.

They were just an ordinary family. After sending their son to university, their savings were almost completely depleted.

To put it bluntly, given their family situation, they can't even afford to get sick.

In today's society, if you want to find a girlfriend and get married, you can't do it without a car and a house.

It's completely different from their era.

Moreover, Jiang Hao has been out of school for over a year, and there has never been any news about him having a girlfriend.

Every time I come back for the Chinese New Year, I always come back alone.

He is the only son in the family.

Jiang's mother naturally hoped that Jiang Hao would get married as soon as possible.

This time, I was surprised to see him bring a girl home, which is quite rare for him. How could I not be happy?

He stopped working, got up, and headed upstairs.

Jiang's father hesitated for a moment, then followed.

He hadn't originally planned to follow them.

Because the work isn't finished yet, it's 7:30 now, and it will really get dark around 8 o'clock.

He still has half an hour to work.

If we don't get things done in this short time, we won't be able to do anything when it gets dark.

There are many snakes in the summer, so they usually never work at night.

On the street, Jiang Hao's parents arrived.

Qi Lin immediately ran back to the car to get water for the two of them.

When they passed through the county town, Jiang Hao and his friends bought water.

Jiang Hao anticipated that his parents would be working in the fields, so he bought them water as well.

"Son, why did you suddenly come back? And who is this person next to you?" Wang Mei asked as soon as she arrived.

After asking the question, his gaze fell on Qi Lin.

Qi Lin felt a little shy watching this, as if she were meeting her future mother-in-law.

"This is Qilin, my high school classmate. She's a police officer now. She came here with me to have some fun and also wanted to visit you."

"Hello, uncles and aunts, I'm Qilin. Jiang Hao and I were high school classmates. Um, this is the water we bought on the way here. You must be thirsty from working in the fields. Have some water."

"Oh, okay, thank you." Wang Mei accepted it with a smile.
