Chapter 3: The Way Forward

Since Zhou Baozhu was injured, Liu Fang has never dared to leave her at home alone. These days, even if I go to the field to fetch rice, I will keep my daughter by my side.

Zhou Baozhu is not a real child. Seeing that her parents worked hard, she also took her short legs and followed them to do some small work. It's good to hand over a handful of rice and pick up a few scattered rice ears on the ground.

Speaking of which, Zhou Laoer's family only has four acres of land, four acres of land are connected together. At the back of the village, it is the farthest place from the reservoir. Unlike Boss Zhou and Mr. Zhou's family, the field is close to the reservoir, and watering is very convenient.

"It's very hot. Take a breath." Liu Fang wiped the sweat on her neck and gasped when she saw that there was nothing left in the rice to be removed.

Zhou Laoer wiped his sweat and looked up at the sky. The scorching sun shone dazzlingly, which made people unable to open their eyes.

"Let's go and have a drink in the bamboo forest." There is a small low slope near Tianmu, which is full of bamboo, and there are many old graves in the bamboo forest.

This is a normal phenomenon in the countryside. It is buried by some people who know the root, so no one cares or fears about this.

Liu Fang sat with her daughter looking for a smooth stone, while Zhou Laoer sat on the grass, pressing the weeds on the ground flat.

This rest, fatigue, suddenly swept across the body. Even if I was used to farming, I couldn't stand it at this time.

However, what gives Liu Fang a headache is that although her rice is almost good, the rice of Boss Zhou and Mr. Zhou's house has just turned yellow and has not yet begun to harvest.

The custom in the village is that you help me and I help you. Which rice is ripe first, and a group of people will go to work in that house first. In this way, the owner is busy with the West and can't rest.

However, there are also special cases. Those brothers in the village who divide the wall, or have conflicts with their brother-in-law, will choose to work with each other.

Originally, the three brothers of the Zhou family and the married eldest sister and little sister were like this. You help me and I will help you. Although the customs are good, Zhou Laoer's family will always suffer losses.

For example, last year, I cut rice for Mr. Zhou, and then Sister Zhou's house. It was originally Zhou's second Zhou's turn. Xu Li, the first sister-in-law, said that the time could not be staggered, and the couple had to go back to their mother's house to help.

Because Liu Fang is a distant marriage, she doesn't have to go back to her mother's house to work, which also leads to the big house and three rooms always use her mother's family as an excuse to avoid helping the two people work.

This was the case last year, the year before last, Zhou Laoer's rice was the first to ripen this year, and so did the two of them.

This year, my little brother-in-law came to cut rice for two days.

The family acted like this, following Zhou Laoer's idea, blocked their door and scolded happily. Liu Fang quarreled lazily. This year, her family harvested rice and didn't say anything.

"Come, I took a look when I carried the water this morning. My eldest brother's rice was about to be collected. This year, how to do it?" She took a breath and drank a glass of water. Liu Fang also had the strength to think about the future.

She had a long mind, but she had to explore Zhou Laoer's tor's torle before.

"His rice is none of our business. Fangfang, leave it alone. When our rice is collected, go to my little sister's house to work for two days. Zhou Laoer said in his heart that whoever treats him is the simplest whoever treats him.
