The slow-paced Jing Taihe only just snapped back to reality, striking up conversation as he too took a sip of tea, the topic suddenly changed, he said with a smile, "Brother Huosheng, you've really been working hard these past few days. I know you have your own ten or twenty acres of land to tend to right now, right when you should be busy preparing for the farming season, yet here you are, tending to that small plot of vegetables for me. I do feel quite guilty, really."
Chen Huosheng seemed a bit nervous, licked his lips, and lowered his head, saying, "It's no trouble, my family has many hands, missing one won't delay the work. My aunt said, Sister Jing has the intention to grow some vegetables and fruit at home, but Brother Taihe, you're busy at the smithy every day with no time to spare for tilling the land... I have plenty of strength, so I came to lend a hand, one more day and this land will be all tilled up."
