~： No. 389 groundwork

After a tiring day, everyone had no dreams all night, and the next day arrived, the three brothers and Zhou Shan got up for morning exercise as usual.

The few people looked at each other and smiled. Zhou Shan felt very cordial. Since he returned to the palace, he has never practiced with them in the morning.

The three brothers also miss when Zhou Shan lived with them.

Afraid of disturbing other people to sleep, the four of them went out to move their hands and feet, and saw that there were already villagers harvesting in the fields.

The third child: "It's early."

The second child: "When we were harvesting in the countryside, we also went down to the field to help pick up the grains at dawn. We haven't done it for four years."

Zhou Shan: "I'll satisfy you in a while!"

The three brothers rolled their eyes together.

Zhou Shan suggested that they should just run along the roadside and watch the villagers harvest.

This suggestion was unanimously approved by them, and they moved their hands and feet and trotted along the field.

Seeing that the village chief was harvesting not far away, they even ran over to say hello.

The village chief straightened up and looked at them with a smile, "The four young masters got up so early, it's just dawn, why don't you sleep for a while, it's not time yet."

The boss said politely: "We are used to getting up early every day to exercise and practice martial arts. After breakfast, we will have to arrange for the village head."

"It's just a little effort, there are people who help, the little old man can't ask for it. Madam is so hard, and the young masters came out to work with us on a hot day. The young masters will definitely be successful in the future."

"We are also from the countryside, and we can also do a little farm work. The village chief, you are busy first, we will not delay your work, and come back later after breakfast."

"Hey, fine."

After speaking, they gathered around the wheat field.

The villagers in the fields raised their heads and glanced curiously, knowing that it was the little master of Zhuangzi over there, so they lowered their heads to work again. It was spread all over the village yesterday.

Everyone was envious of the village chief's income, but last night they came to the village to buy chickens and vegetables, which made everyone happy. They have to live for several days, and everyone can't make money for the house, but they can earn a few food money to support the family.

After running a few laps, I returned to the courtyard. After playing a set of boxing techniques, I found another stick and danced, and they also learned from each other.

At this time, the others also started to get up.

Princess Xuexi looked sleepily at how majestic they were playing with sticks, and they were evenly matched. They were all surprised. It turned out that they were not only playing.

I don't know when they got up. Seeing that they were all sweating, they must have woken up early.

Xiao Jiu also looked at the four of them in amazement, and envied that they could still kung fu, but he didn't.

After they stopped, Princess Xuexi asked: "What time do you get up, do you get up so early every day? It turns out that you all know martial arts, and it seems that you are quite powerful."

"How can I save you from the traffickers? If you haven't met me, maybe you will be sold to the mountains as a child bride."

She glared at him angrily, "This county master has a great fortune, a lucky man has his own destiny, and there will be others without you."

The boss smiled and didn't argue with her, "We got up just after Yin Shi, and we're used to getting up early to exercise."

"It's so early? Like my father, I didn't expect you guys to have perseverance."

"There are more things you didn't expect. We have to go back to the house and change our clothes first."

After they finished speaking, they brought two buckets of water back to the house. They smelled of sweat and needed to be washed, so as not to affect the appetite of the people at the table.

Pei Xiu also got up, took care of the child and took it out to feed first.

Seeing that the county owner deliberately wore light clothes today, she nodded secretly. She forgot to remind her yesterday, but fortunately Caiwei was a good one.

When everyone was full, she gave the child to Ginkgo to watch first. Let the six men put on caps, water, sickles and baskets, and take them out to the fields.

The two chief guards also followed with the guards. Their duty was to protect the master, and of course they also followed the master when he went to the ground.

It was just after Mao Shi, when they went to the fields, the villagers were also sitting on the ground in the shade, eating steamed buns and rice soup.

Everyone looked at a large group of them curiously, knowing that Mrs. Zhou was specially bringing a few young masters, and one of them was heard to be the county owner, and wanted them to go down to the ground to help harvest wheat together and experience the hard work of farmers.

The villagers couldn't help but murmured in their hearts that the big family's idea was peculiar, and they lived a good life with brocade clothes and jade food, and they even came to the countryside to experience wheat harvesting.

I'm really full, I have nothing to do, I find something for myself. If they become prosperous one day, they will definitely never go to work in the fields again. How good is it to ask people to do it, and lie down and count the money.

But these words, the villagers put them in their stomachs and dare not say them out. They are not the ones who can offend the nobles.

When the village chief's family saw them coming, they quickly put down the dishes and stood up to say hello, "Mrs. Zhou, you are here. I'll take you to work in the field in front of you."

"Don't worry, the village chief eats the breakfast first. My eldest son and second son, I would like to ask you to teach them how to cut wheat. They are so big that it is not appropriate for them to follow a group of children to collect wheat grains. ."

Zhou Shan interjected, "Auntie, I want to cut wheat too."

"Can you, be careful not to get your hands on it."

It's not that Pei Xiu doesn't let him cut it, but that he looks like a weak scholar, no stronger than the second child, and although he is the same age as the second child, he is not as tall as the second child.

Her family's eldest and second-eldest are more like Zhou Cheng. Since she passed through, they have never treated them badly. They are well nourished and grow quickly.

Zhou Shan said embarrassedly, "I can do it. Although I'm not as strong as my eldest brother and Zhou Sheng, I'm also very strong. I just can't see it. I can endure hardship and be careful."

"Okay~ The sickle you bring is enough, you can cut it if you want." Since he wanted to, she didn't stop him.

At the moment of talking, the village chief has already pulled in a few mouthfuls of food.

Leading them to the field, he brought these children to his own field.

The wheat they picked up was going to be brought back. He was afraid that the other villagers would not be happy. After all, the grain was not harvested this year.

It doesn't matter to his family, he has already received a lot of benefits. It's just a basket or two of wheat, and it's not worth much.

But how could Pei Xiu take it for nothing? No amount of hard work and no amount of harvest. Grain is the lifeblood of farmers. In the end, she calculated the money for them at the market price.

The village chief explained to them in detail how to hold the sickle and how to cut it.

After they all understood, Pei Xiu asked, "Village chief, how many days does it take for one person to collect this acre of land?"

"It takes three laborers to harvest one mu of wheat, and it takes a whole day to harvest the wheat. When the wheat is harvested, it is necessary to tie the wheat into bundles of 40 to 50 catties, and use the poles to harvest the land. Pick it home."
