Chapter 291 Summer Harvest Begins

This was the mountain assigned to Zhou Erlang. Because it was originally populated with bamboos, he simply planted more bamboos on it.

Unlike other people who just leave their farmland to grow freely, Zhou Erlang is one of the few who manages it carefully.

When the villagers who were cutting bamboo on the mountain saw the four brothers and sisters coming back with bamboo baskets on their backs, they waved lazily and said hello, "I'm looking for mushrooms again. It hasn't rained for several days. I can still find them."

?”

Zhoulang asked Wulang to carry the basket on his back and Zhoulang to carry the hoe. Now he put the full treasure into their hands and asked them to go home first. He squatted on a stone and chatted with them, "I didn't find it. I just arrived."

The turning road in Zhongshan has been blocked by people, why are you cutting bamboo?"

"Oh, don't mention it. It's not that the wheat is about to be harvested. The dustpan at home is a little broken, so I cut some back to make two." The villager chuckled, "The bamboos in other mountains are not as good as the ones here by your second brother."

Zhou Lang almost laughed, "It's almost time to harvest the wheat and you just started chopping bamboo. My sister-in-law won't beat you up."

"Whoever said he wouldn't be beaten is the one who got beaten up," another villager on the side said with great joy, "It's the one who was beaten today. He was driven out like crazy."

"Fart, I wouldn't do anything with a woman, otherwise you can just watch."

Zhou Lang didn't mind them coming to chop bamboo. Anyway, there was so much bamboo that their family couldn't use it all. This was not just once or twice, but he just wanted to chat with others, so he squatted on the stone and didn't move away.

But the villagers who cut the bamboo couldn't stand it and waved to him one after another, "Thursday, come and help me quickly. This bamboo is too tall and I can't pull it out."

When Zhou Lang heard this, he immediately patted his butt and stood up, waved his hands and left, "Brothers, chop slowly. I haven't had dinner yet, so I'm going home first."

The villagers were unable to hold him back, so they could only watch as he ran away.

One of them couldn't help but sigh, "I'm still so lazy on Thursday."

"Come on, who in the village can ask him to work in the fields? It's just a few of his brothers. Let's cut him down quickly. It's almost dark."

"Hey, bamboo is really difficult to cut. Why don't you ask for some dried ones on Tuesday?"

The other villagers continued to cut their own bamboos, thinking secretly: If you didn't also want to make dustpans, I would have gone and asked.

It's okay for one or two people to ask for some dried bamboo sticks, but if so many people ask, it will definitely not work.

Seeing that no one matched him, the man could only sigh and continue cutting bamboo, gossiping: "By the way, Thursday just said that they walked to the mountains and were blocked. Who blocked them?"

"Who else could it be? Either an adult from his family, or a brother from the Jia family."

They won't talk about the former, but the latter...

"The Jia brothers are too overbearing. They just go up the mountain to look for mushrooms. There is no need to chase people away, right?"

"It's just that I didn't want to occupy his family's land, nor did I want to cut down his family's good trees, but he was so stingy."

"Maybe it's because I'm not from this village. Look at us in Qili Village, who would get angry and kick someone out for something like this?"

"Yeah, people in Dali Village are quite stingy."

"He can also scheme..."

They spoke ill of Dalicun without restraint. Manbao, who ran home early, was also speaking ill of the two Jia brothers to his parents, while also praising himself.

"I was the first to find people, and then we stopped going to the mountains. We turned around and went to another place and found a place to hide. Sure enough, they caught up with us after a while. They were fierce. Fortunately, we ran early.

.”

Old Zhou frowned.

Qian was also very unhappy, "What's going on? Didn't Lao Si and the others just go up the mountain to find some game? They just chased them away once, but they actually set up an ambush?"

Old Zhou stood up and said, "I'll go talk to the village chief."

It would be very annoying to set up an ambush.

Before going out, Lao Zhoutou turned back and warned: "You are not allowed to go to the mountains in the future. Humph, what we in Baimaguan Town lack most are mountains. Do we have to go to their mountains?"

Man Bao responded with some regret.

Qian touched her head and said, "We shouldn't argue with such a fool, it's too dangerous."

Having said this, she looked among the people in the yard and asked, "Where is the fourth child?"

"Fourth brother is bragging to others in Zhushan."

Zhushan is the name they gave themselves because it has the most bamboos on it.

Qian frowned slightly and said, "Go and call him back. It's getting dark soon. You guys should go wash up after dinner. Don't hang around outside all the time. You're all going to be fathers soon."

Fang stood aside with a red face.

Although Ms. Fang has not been diagnosed, Ms. Qian has already reduced her work. She and Ms. He are not allowed to do the heavier work at home, and their working hours have also been reduced a lot. As long as the sun gets hotter, they will be

Asked to go home and do some light housework.

Xiao Qian and Feng Zhou Xi were also considerate of this, and took the initiative to take over more work during this period to allow them to rest.

At this moment, even Mrs. Feng had to admit that it was fortunate that Zhou Xi returned to the clan, otherwise it would be very tiring to rely on her and Xiao Qian for so many things in the family.

When Zhou Lang came back in a hurry, Qian said: "Go to eat quickly and go to bed early at night. Your father said that we will start harvesting the wheat in Dawan first."

Zhou Lang had already expected it. While getting a bowl to eat, he asked, "Second brother is going too?"

"There's not a lot of yellow wheat now. Your second brother, don't rush there yet. Wait two days until all the vegetables in Xiaowan are sold out before we stop."

The main force is him and the third brother.

Zhou Lang moved his shoulders, nodded and said, "Okay."

Who made his eldest brother bleed in his stomach in the first place?

Zhou Dalang couldn't do heavy work like picking wheat, but there was nothing he could do about cutting wheat.

Taking advantage of Zhou Lang's eating habits, the family took out and put away all the things that will be used tomorrow.

Since it's summer harvest, naturally I can't get up at the same time as before, I have to get up earlier.

In this way, when the sun rises in the sky and it starts to get hot, everyone can go home. Then, after taking a nap, go out to harvest wheat for an hour, and then come back for dinner.

Wait until you have dinner before going out to continue harvesting wheat.

At noon, when the sun is the hottest, everyone is basically sleeping at home.

That is to say, the wheat and rice harvests are not good this year, so the time arrangement is so loose. Unlike previous years, except for an hour at noon, everyone has to work in the fields.

Two meals a day became three meals, or even three and a half meals.

But even the sneaky Zhou Lang didn't want the crops to fail. He would rather be more tired than be in such a situation in the fields.

Zhou Lang asked Man Bao after dinner, "Man Bao, didn't you say that the county magistrate wants to reduce or reduce autumn taxes? Why is there no news now?"

"Shanbao didn't say it." She could only listen to Bai Shanbao for this kind of news, and Bai Shanbao could only listen to his grandmother and Master Bai.
