The next day, Zhou Juhua went to her eldest sister's house with someone on her back.

"That's the way it is, I've done my best, if it really doesn't work out in the end, then I can't do anything about it, but now I still have some hope. She sat on the stool of Sister Zhou's house and began to talk about it, exaggerating her hard work ten times in the past few days, and getting a lot of praise from her eldest sister and brother-in-law, so she said the real reason why she came.

"I'm here to tell you about this, my eldest brother has a lot of eyes, it is estimated that he still has doubts in his heart just listening to me, and he can't wait to come to our village to ask the people in our village how Xiaoli's child is, so I said that I have done everything I should do, and the rest is up to you." ”

Time is the least resistant, mixed and mixed, and it is the season of autumn harvest.

In the countryside, the autumn harvest is a major event, which is related to whether the family will be hungry in the next year, so basically the whole family is mobilized at this time.

"Dad, let me tell you something. "One night before the autumn harvest, Zhou Jiguo found Zhou Yaosen, who was sharpening his sickle.

"What's the matter? The autumn harvest will be in a few days, so don't run around outside, go home and help for a few days." Zhou Yaosen picked up the sickle and tried the blade, and then lowered his head and rubbed it on the whetstone.

"Dad, that's what I'm telling you. Zhou Jiguo touched the money roll in his pocket, this should be easy to use if he took it out.

"Huh?" Zhou Yaosen stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at his son, not understanding what he meant.

"Dad, that's what happened......"

Zhou Jiguo told Zhou Yaosen what he had thought of, that is, he explained that during this period of time, he went out early and returned late to work outside with his friends, and there was also work to be done during the autumn harvest, so he didn't want to withdraw halfway, so he wanted to discuss with Zhou Yaosen to see if he could go home to help this autumn harvest.

Zhou Yaosen frowned and didn't speak for a while. In fact, he is the main labor force in the family, and Li Rucui knows that he is cheating and cheating, if no one is watching, he can do that little work in a day. In previous years, several children in the family were busy working in the field, since the eldest passed fifteen, the strength was not much different from him, every year when the farm was busy, he could also be used as an adult labor force in the field, and he could also be easier, and now the boss said that he could not go home for the autumn harvest, which means that the work in the field was pressed on him alone.

"Dad, I know that if I don't come back, we have to have a few younger brothers to help you do all this work, and I don't feel good, otherwise, I have also earned some money for a while, I will give this money to Dad, Dad, you let your mother go to the town to cut some meat, and make up for your younger brothers during the autumn harvest, Dad, what do you think." Zhou Jiguo said and took out a roll of money prepared in his pocket.

Zhou Yaosen looked at the roll of money in his eldest son's hand, took it over, and opened it and counted it, the largest ticket in it was one piece, and the smallest one was one point, and it was very neat, but the side was very wrinkled.

"Is this five yuan?" Zhou Yaosen was a little surprised after counting, and the boss said that he earned it by working with people outside these days.

It's not a lot of money, after all, the regular workers outside have a salary of more than ten yuan a month, and the boss has been working for several months, and he only gets back five yuan. But it depends on who you compare with, if you compare it with Zhou Yaosen, these five yuan is a lot, because Zhou Yaosen has been farming at home since he got married, and he has been farming for 20 years, and his savings are only more than 20 yuan, so in comparison, this five yuan looks like a lot.

"Well, I only have five dollars left, and I had a little more, but it still costs a little bit outside, and that's all I have left. Zhou Jiguo was very embarrassed to say it, and he did feel uncomfortable, it was strange that he could feel good about lying to his father like this.

To say that these five yuan is not enough for him to earn in a day now, but he can't tell anyone in the family about this, because as long as they know, then he will be forced to carry the entire Zhou family in the future, and he will have to be complained about for food and drink, and he will not live like he did in his previous life.

"I understand that when you mix outside, men can't pick and search, they have to spend money when they should spend it, and they can't be looked down upon. "Zhou Yaosen is also a person who has gone out, so he understands this very well.

Zhou Jiguo saw that his father carefully put the five yuan in his pocket, and his heart was also put down, just accept the money, and after receiving the money, he said that his father agreed to what he said.

He didn't have to work hard for the white-eyed wolves of the Zhou family for five yuan, he felt it was worth it.

"Dad, then do you see that I don't go home to help in the autumn harvest for a few days, my mother can't be angry. ”

"Okay, what's not to do, you're not going out to fool around, you have something to do outside, and you don't need to worry about this bit at home. You don't have to worry about your mother, just I'll talk to her when I get back. But he thought in his heart, don't be lazy anymore this autumn harvest woman, the boss is not at home, the labor force has become less, and she has to do something at the top.

This is a foregone conclusion.

On the night before the autumn harvest, Zhou Yaosen was at the dinner table and began to assign everyone the work to start the autumn harvest tomorrow.

Zhou Sining was not surprised to be left at home to cook, but she didn't have to go to the mountains to collect firewood for half a month, the firewood at home was enough to burn for a while, she had time to go to the field to send some boiled water or something to everyone during the day, and she was also responsible for drying food at home.

This news is not good for Zhou Sining, in this case, it means that she can't dig herbs in the mountains during the day, and her daily income will be reduced by half.

Zhou Sining bit the sweet potato, ate it tastelessly, couldn't go out to make money, and had to cook and deliver water to the annoying Zhou family, she suddenly felt that life had lost its meaning.

After Zhou Yaosen finished distributing all the work, Zhou Jifu looked at the eldest brother and then at his father, and finally couldn't help asking, "Dad, what is the eldest brother doing?"

He listened to it for a long time, and listened to his father explain what they were going to do tomorrow, but he didn't say what the eldest brother was going to do from beginning to end, he felt a little uncomfortable, whatever, they were all the same sons, why could the eldest brother not work and enjoy the happiness, and they would have to do it to their deaths, which is not fair.

Zhou Jiguo and Zhou Yaosen both looked up at him, Zhou Jiguo simply ignored him, anyway, he had already communicated with Zhou Yaosen, and believed that his father could handle these things alone.

"That's right, you said this Datong, why didn't I hear what you asked Dabao to do?" Li Rucui is also very dissatisfied, usually during the autumn harvest, her work is relatively easy, and the heavy work in the field is done by the old man and the boss together, today I listened to the old man's meaning, and let her do the work that the boss did in the past, and it was done from beginning to end, how to say this, they don't look down on her, and they are ready to exhaust her.
