All the children did not go to play, they were also part of the working force. The older boys helped their father and brother to harvest the wheat. Their bare backs are also a little thin, not as wide as their father and brother, but they already have the appearance of being able to withstand a thousand pounds. But they can't compare to their fathers and brothers. Whenever they couldn't help but straighten up from exertion, they would grit their teeth when they saw the back of their father and brother still bent not far away. Bend down and continue to work. The girls followed their mother and sisters to bundle the wheat.

Even children who can't do their jobs are seriously holding a wooden stick tied to a long grass rope, and are seriously driving away the birds and finches that are foraging. Even their faces are serious when they run.

Since it is a new Zhuangzi, everyone is very poor. So here the most primitive cooperative communes appeared. It is to work together and eat together. The only few old women in the village are taking a few daughters-in-law to carry the food of the whole village. The steamed buns with a large bowl mouth were put into a basket and carried to the ground by the two daughters-in-law. The vats of greens were fried in oil without hesitation, and every leaf was oily and shiny! It's a great dish that you can't eat a few times a year!

They knew that their fathers and brothers needed it. If there is no oil and water in the stomach, they will not be able to endure more than ten days of hard work. The only thing the two of them can do is sniff hard! It's as if inhaling those aromas can satisfy their hearts!

Liu Pei asked with a pleasant face: "Old man, how do you see this year's harvest?" ”

Although we have experience in farming in modern times, farming at that time and farming today are two different things. After all, there are chemical fertilizers and insect killers, and the yield is not comparable now. But Liu Pei was still confused by his father-in-law's words, he said: "Why do you say that? ”

Liu Pei nodded to show that he understood. said: "The old man, can you estimate that this year's grain can be eaten?" ”

Liu Pei frowned when he heard this. He had thought that after this autumn harvest, these people should be able to breathe a sigh of relief. I didn't expect that in the end, I still couldn't eat enough, and I had to rely on boiling to get through the famine. Liu Pei said: "This autumn harvest is over, you can estimate it carefully." If the drought is sad, I can suspend your rent this year. ”

Liu Pei was a little unhappy in her heart. He thought it was

The old man said respectfully: "Go back to the master." Since we came here, the lord has helped us build a nest and gave us land seeds. I also helped with the soil fertilizer. The rent is low, and the interest is also low, which is all good! But I'm not a man without hands or feet. It depends on the old man's help! The lord has already spent a lot of money on us, how can we let the lord not collect the rent again! It's going to be thundering! If all the lords in the world are like you, where will we escape from our hometown! ”

Liu Pei's heart was sour when she heard this. When he was a child, he was in modern times, and although his family was poor, he was not poor to this extent. The ultimate goal of these people is just to starve to death! What a humble request! But even such a humble request was deprived! How can such a world be sustained?

The old man nodded repeatedly. Then Liu Pei asked about the things in his daily life. found that there was really nothing wrong here, so he sent the old man away. The old man bowed and left.

Liu Pei looked around seriously again, as if he wanted to keep all this in mind. Then he mounted his horse and departed with his attendant.
