Chapter 108: My mother is here
Du Yue and the two went straight to the field with food and chopsticks on their backs, at this time noon had already passed, and the two of them were also hungry and growling, thinking that they were busy in the field, they must be even more hungry, and they did not stop for a moment.

When Du Yue and the two went back, this field had just begun to be harvested, and it was only half an hour for them to go back, and half of the three points of land were harvested by Liu Lin and Yuanqing, and piles of harvested rice were all hugged by Liu Tianming's side, he was soaked with sweat at this time, but he only had time to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and the sweat on his body couldn't be taken care of at all.
"Why did you come here so soon?" Liu Tianming was shaking the grains, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw Du Yue and his daughter coming over with a basket on their backs.
"Why did you come here so soon?" Yuan Qing heard his father's voice, raised his head, and looked at Du Yue and his sister coming over with food on their backs, he felt very strange, obviously they had only been back for a long time.
"Didn't I ask you to eat before you came, you two haven't eaten yet, have you?" Although Liu Lin was a question, his tone was affirmative. She knew that the two children must have carried it without eating.
"You're hungry too, so go to the creek and wash your hands and eat." Du Yue smiled and didn't answer Liu Lin's words.
When Liu Tianming heard it, they all went to the stream to wash their hands, Du Yue and Yuan Ping had already put the pot with vegetables on the field covered with straw, Du Yue took out the bowl and scooped up the rice, Liu Tianming didn't say anything, and they had to continue harvesting for a while, so a few people took the rice bowl and began to eat.
The weather was a little hot, and it didn't take long to come from home, so the food brought was also slow to cool, and now the food was still a little hot, so Liu Tianming wanted to eat quickly and continue to harvest, but there was no way, so he could only eat slowly. Eat slowly, it's time to rest, after all, everyone is a little tired after a busy morning.
Several people were so hungry that the food was all gone, Du Yue and Yuan Ping put away the dishes and chopsticks, took them to the stream to wash, and put them in the back basket first, planning to carry them back when they went back in the evening.
After eating, several people didn't dare to continue to rest, they all picked up the sickle and began to harvest again, Liu Tianming continued to do the work of removing grains. Threshing is much more laborious than harvesting, so Liu Tianming, his wife and Yuan Qing take turns to throw it.
"Second child, you cut so much in this field." Liu Tianming's mother, Liu Li is here.
"Mother, aren't you busy with the autumn harvest at home, why are you here?" Liu Tianming was very strange, he remembered that in the morning, his mother also followed him to the field to help with the autumn harvest. Liu Tianming replied to Liu Li's words, and did not stop the action of removing the grains in his hand.
"Everyone in the family is harvesting, I'll come and see how your harvest is going." Liu Li said naturally, seeing that his son's family was harvesting, she stood next to his son and talked.
Liu Tianming didn't know what to say, at the moment when he was grabbing food with the locusts, his mother actually said to see how much they had collected, his mother's nerves were big enough, wasn't she afraid that she wouldn't be able to rob the locusts.
"How many fields have you cut?" Liu Lin saw that her son didn't speak, and he didn't feel anything, and continued to talk, not feeling that it was a waste of time at all.
"It's not much, just the one in front of me plus this piece." Listening to his mother continue to ask, Liu Tianming's mind worked. Liu Tianming was busy removing the grains, and then thinking about what his mother came here for, it was definitely not as simple as his mother said, after all, everyone was rushing for the autumn harvest, where did they get the time to walk around.
"It's the first half acre of the field that has been harvested?" Liu Li asked knowingly, when she just came over, she saw that the field had been harvested.
"Well, yes." Liu Tianming wondered even more, his mother was still talking, could it be that his mother really came to chat. But wait for the next moment, Liu Tianming will understand that his mother is not here to chat.
"Second brother, you've cut so much, shouldn't you help us cut it?" After Liu Li talked so much, he finally said the purpose of his coming here.
Liu Tianming was stunned, what is the situation, his family has five acres of land, and now not a single acre has been harvested, his mother actually called to help them harvest, but he knew that his eldest brother and third brother's family were helping to harvest, and the field on his mother's side was not much more than his own, and the people in that family were more than half more than his own, and his mother actually came to tell him this.
"Mother, there are so many people over there who harvest, I only have a few of us here, and I will help you after I finish harvesting." Liu Tianming was angry in his heart, and the tone of his words was not very good, he felt that his mother always bullied him for weakness, everyone was competing with the locusts for time, and even asked himself to help, if there were not many people on his side, it would be almost the same to ask himself to help, and now it is obvious that there are so many more people on his side than here, and he still comes to call himself, isn't his family's rations important.
"It's not like your family is going to help, aren't there so many people harvesting for you?" Liu Li didn't feel anything at all when she said this, she felt that it was normal to ask her son to help.
"Mother, this family is counting on me, how can I leave them to help you, you have the eldest brother and the third brother over there, so a dozen people in the big family can help." Liu Tianming said it angrily, and he didn't understand why his mother always couldn't see him as if he was doing well, could it be that he picked it up.
"Alas, how can they have your hands and feet, they say that there are more than a dozen people, and the one acre of land harvested now is not enough." Liu Li still thought that his second child could help, after all, the second child alone could take care of two or three people in the family.
"Mother, go back, I won't go over now, when I'm done here, I'll go to your side to help." Liu Tianming didn't give his mother a chance, after all, he still had more than four acres of land to harvest, and there were more and more locusts, so how could he wait.
"Second child, you just watched your father and mother starve to death when they had no food?" Liu Li looked at her son and couldn't move, and the tone of his words was not good.
"Mother, you have only seven acres of land for more than a dozen people, and I have five acres of land for only five people, can you bear to watch your son's rice be eaten by locusts and make my family hungry?" Liu Tianming was even more unhappy in his heart, obviously he had so much more labor than on his side, and he had to help himself, and he also went to help when there were no locusts in previous years, but his mother never let other people in the family help him.
