Back in the small courtyard, the smell of food came to my nose, because there were three more people eating, and the meal was twice as much as usual.

"It smells so good!" Chen Youyi followed up the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves and went up to help, but was pushed out by Mu Xiulian.

"There's only one soup left, no need for you, you go wash your hands and wait for the meal to start." Unable to help in the field, Mu Xiulian felt unhappy in her heart, and regarded cooking as one of her tasks, at least she wanted to do a better job at this point.

Chen Youyi understood her intentions, and didn't insist, she smiled and pulled Qin Ziheng to fetch water, in fact, before they came back, they had already washed one side by the river, and this time they washed it casually twice, it was very clean, but the shoes still occupied mud, and they couldn't all be cleaned.

The dishes were quickly served, and the three of them sat down and waited for a while, but the three brothers of the Wang family did not come back.

"I must have felt that I had taken the money and took care of the food, and I was embarrassed to only work and not work, so I would try to work for a while before coming back." Chen Youyi was a little helpless, did she look like Zhou Papi, a harsh employee?

Mu Xiulian shook her head and said, "No, they all live in the same village, and everyone would think so." That is, you will learn to hire people casually. Alas, no more. Ziheng, you go and shout to them, eat enough and then work. ”

"Okay." Qin Ziheng responded, immediately stood up and walked out. But after a while, he came back again, followed by the three brothers of the Wang family. It was not early, and the Wang brothers happened to come back, and they met outside the door.

Chen Youyi and Mu Xiulian didn't say anything, and after the Wang brothers washed their hands, they were urged to sit down and eat together.

"Our two families have been neighbors for so many years, and you are all grown up in what I have seen since childhood, what else is there to be polite?" Mu Xiulian sandwiched the dishes for the three brothers, and said lovingly: "You treat this place as your own home, if you have anything to eat, tell your aunt, and your aunt will make it for you." ”

With Mu Xiulian's words and Chen Youyi's smiling face, the Wang brothers eliminated most of their restraints after a meal, and they naturally became more and more talkative in front of others.

In the afternoon, they were divided into two teams and continued to do the assigned tasks. The Wang brothers' side still proceeded in an orderly manner according to the original speed, and the speed on Chen Youyi and Qin Ziheng's side accelerated a lot.

I don't know if Qin Ziheng is talented, he tried it once, and after plowing a furrow, the effect is outstanding, and he looks no different from a professional farmer.

"You really haven't practiced before?" Chen Youyi's face was full of suspicion, and he twisted the ploughed soil with his hand, which was delicate and loose, and reached the planting standard.

Qin Ziheng wiped a handful of sweat, in fact, he didn't look so calm, the balance of the wooden plow was difficult to master, most of the time, it was forcibly controlled by his superior arm strength to achieve stability.

But with the first time, the next one will be easier for him, and after less than an hour, Qin Ziheng can basically get started, and those who don't know will see it and decide not to suspect that he is a novice.

"I don't believe it, I can't learn it!" Chen Youyi looked itchy and strongly asked to try again, but unfortunately she didn't have enough strength and didn't have the talent to plow, this time she was still tired enough, and the ground was ploughed like a dog's gnaw, with potholes.

Chen Youyi was deflated, admitted defeat, and handed over the task of plowing to Qin Ziheng, while she took a cloth bag full of chili seeds and started sowing seeds from the very edge.

The two worked together, one ploughed and the other sowed, and this time the efficiency improved a lot. When it was dark, Chen Youyi stood up straight and took a look, and found that it was even smoother than expected, and a third of the amount was planted.

"Wasting half a day today, there is such a large piece, it looks like it will be all done tomorrow." It's just not finished, at most, it's a little added the morning after tomorrow, and you can finish it.

This efficiency is much better than expected.

Chen Youyi, who was in a happy mood, dragged her tired body and felt light in her heart. However, when she went back, she saw that not only Qin Ziheng looked like he didn't look like much, but even the Wang brothers didn't look tired, which made her feel the hard work of the farmers.

This amount of exercise is not comparable to staying in the gym for two hours.

The dinner was still the same sumptuous, and under the influence of Chen Youyi, Mu Xiulian's skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and she has also made a lot of progress.

After dinner, the Wang brothers went home, Chen Youyi and Qin Ziheng helped Mu Xiulian wash the dishes and brush the chopsticks, while gossiping, Chen Youyi complained that she was too tired to work, and took out the experience of trying to plow the land but failed as a joke, which made Mu Xiulian happy.

After chatting for a while after dinner, Chen Youyi was tired and tired, and after a while, her head was little by little, and her eyelids were fighting.

"Okay, go back and rest, you're going to be busy these days, don't get tired." Mu Xiulian saw it in her eyes and knew that Chen Youyi really tried her best. She has personally experienced it, and most of the spring and autumn harvests of each year in the past were taken care of by herself, and the feeling of being able to stand and sleep during a tea break is deeply engraved in Mu Xiulian's memory.

She can't stand it as a person who has worked for a long time, let alone Chen Youyi, a daughter like Chen Youyi who can't resist on her shoulders and can't lift her hands. The princess of a country is a dignified person, and someone is waiting for her to pick up the needle and thread, and now she is so tired from doing farm work in the countryside that she falls asleep, which is really different from what it used to be.

"She can't get used to this, you usually look at it, do more work, don't really make her tired." Mu Xiulian was a little distressed when she thought about it: "It's not easy for her, a pampered princess, where has she ever been stained with mud." ”

Qin Ziheng saw that Chen Youyi was sleeping soundly, so he didn't wake her up, and directly held the person in his arms, while Chen Youyi spontaneously adjusted a comfortable position and continued to sleep darkly.

"I know, mother, you should rest early." Qin Ziheng nodded, carried Chen Youyi back to the room, took off her coat, shoes and socks, and covered the quilt. In between, Chen Youyi only fell asleep, and had no intention of waking up at all.

Even so, Qin Ziheng also relaxed his hands and feet, and after extinguishing the oil lamp, he lay lightly outside, listening to the subtle and long breathing in his ears, and soon fell asleep.

Not only the Qin family's courtyard, but also other families in the village have long been quiet. Before the end of the farming season, it is likely to remain in such a busy and tired state.

However, there are exceptions, for example, the Wang family is still awake. The oil lamp, which is usually not used, was also extravagantly lit, and the family gathered under the dim oil lamp to count the copper plates.
