Parents are busy farming

Before dinner, Old Man Zhang specially called Zhang Chunyue into the room alone.

He opened the lock of the cupboard, took two taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Chunyue.

He said: "Girl! Dad knows that I have wronged you all these years. He didn't buy anything for you when you got married. Take these two taels of silver and treat it as the dowry that dad gave you."

Zhang Chunyue looked at the silver in front of her and shed tears.

Then he pushed the silver back and said, "Gao Yi gave me three taels of silver before I got married. Let's keep this money to build a house for Gao Yi and use it for our wedding!"

Only then did Old Man Zhang know what Zhang Gaoyi had done, and secretly cursed him as a 'stinky boy', but he was still proud of having such a child.

After lunch, everyone went to the fields. Now Mrs. Zhang Wang did not dare to stay away from the fields.

The work at home was left to Zhang Xiayue and Zhang Qiuyue.

Put Zhang Gaowu on the ground and let him crawl around and play by himself.

Children from farm families basically grow up like this. The adults work in the fields and put the children on the ground.

If possible, lay out a ragged quilt for the children to prevent them from bumping into them; if not, let them play with the dirt.

Many children ended up playing in the mud. Where did the water come from? Guess it! (You can let your imagination run wild here. Haha...)

After working for a while, Zhang Chunyue finally took the opportunity to ask Zhang Gaoyi: "What's going on? Why did daddy say you live at my place! Where are you living during this time?"

Zhang Gaoyi lowered his voice and said, "I help out at a mutton soup restaurant in the county and rest there at night!"

Zhang Chunyue immediately thought of the three taels of silver and the cloth.

His eye circles immediately turned red, and he was afraid of being discovered by Mr. Zhang and his wife, so he could only hold back and say nothing.

However, the situation of the two siblings was not hidden from the Liu Jiancai brothers.

They looked at each other and knew it was not the time to ask questions, so they lowered their heads and continued working.

On the way home in the evening, Zhang Chunyue shed tears as she walked.

The two Liu Jiancai brothers didn't know what to do!

They speculated that Zhang Gaoyi had done something to make Zhang Chunyue so sad. They wanted to ask but were afraid to ask, and were full of doubts.

He fainted only after walking two miles.

This frightened the two Liu Jiancai brothers, and they quickly carried her to the nearby doctor's house.

Unexpectedly, after taking his pulse, the doctor said "Congratulations!"

The two brothers were even more confused.

When the doctor saw the expressions of these two people, he knew that they still didn't understand.

So he explained: "Your wife is already two months pregnant. She has been overworked recently. She must not be overtired again in the future!"

Liu Jiancai was dumbfounded when he heard this. He was stunned on the spot.

It took Liu Chengcai calling him brother several times before he reacted.

"Doctor, how are my wife and the baby in her belly doing? Why are she still fainting? Do I need medicine?" Liu Jiancai asked a series of questions.

The doctor was not annoyed and said with a smile: "No, just go back and rest more!"

Zhang Chunyue has woken up and is very happy to hear that she is pregnant. She is already eighteen, and girls her age have several children.

What's more, Liu Jiancai is already twenty-eight years old.

Therefore, the joy of two older couples having a child for the first time is something that others cannot experience.

Liu Chengcai was also twenty years old. When he saw that his brother had a child, he was happy for his brother. At the same time, he thought of the girl he was about to marry, and something sweet poured into his heart.

The next day only two brothers came to the door. The Zhang family was surprised, and they found out that Zhang Chunyue was pregnant after asking.

Old man Zhang and Zhang Gaoyi were very happy after hearing this. Mrs. Zhang Wang's smile was a little fake.

She didn't expect that girl to be so lucky. She got married half a year ago.

I couldn't help but think of my previous son again, thinking, 'I don't know if my daughter-in-law is pregnant or not. She can rest assured after having a son! ’

Liu Jiancai saw his mother-in-law's dissatisfaction, but he didn't mind.

After all, he has a child and doesn't care whether outsiders are happy or not.

A few days later, the Zhang family's work was finally finished.

From then on, Zhang Gaoyi would go to the mountains by himself every day after returning to the village with Ye Zifen.

If you harvest pheasants, send them to your sister. If you harvest other pheasants, send them to Ye Zifen's mutton soup restaurant.

She will give Zhang Gaoyi money according to the market price.

Ye Zifen developed a limited edition game based on these wild animals for sale.

Precisely because these game meats have added a lot of income to the restaurant, most of them are rich ship owners who come to eat them.

Zi Zifen was recently considering whether to buy another shop. Looking at her empty wallet, she put the plan on hold.

After the Ye family's work is done, the Lu family will be miserable.

Lu Dashan himself is too old to do much work, and Lu Yongfu is not as good as Lu Dashan!

The main labor force in the fields turned out to be Lu Bai and Lu Zili.

Lu Zili didn't work quickly, but fortunately he could grit his teeth and persevere.

Lu Yongfu threw the hoe on the ground and sat down, regardless of the dirt on the ground.

"Dad, let's hire day laborers too! At this rate, how long will it take for us to plow these fields! Don't miss the farming season!"

Lu Yongfu said with a sigh.

‘You’d better hurry up and get started if you’re afraid of missing the farming season! Not even as good as a woman, what a waste! ’ Lu Dashan cursed in his heart.

He lowered his head, treating the land as his useless son, and hoeed it hard!

He didn't want to say a word now, firstly because he was tired, and secondly because the Ye family's work was all done, and Ye Yongwang didn't come to help at all.

It seems that we have really severed ties with them!

"Dad, you're talking! Why don't you go to big brother's place and borrow a cow?"

Ye Yongwang saw that his father ignored him and didn't even give him a look. He could only keep up his efforts.

"Don't nag, the cow I asked the cattle seller Lao Shuanzi to keep an eye on has already been spotted. I think it will arrive in the next few days!"

Lu Dashan finally couldn't hold on any longer and stopped. He used his hoe as a crutch and stood to catch his breath.

Big drops of sweat dripped from his eyebrows.

"Really? Dad, did our family buy a cow?" Lu Yongfu stopped sitting here, stood up, patted the dirt on his clothes, and came to Lu Dashan and asked excitedly.

Lu Dashan finally had a smile on his face when he talked about buying cattle.

"Well! Since Zili doesn't study, it won't be a problem if our money is just lying around. I'll ask Lao Shuanzi to look after my fortune."

It turned out that he liked the big ox at Ye's house, but after leaving Ye's house, Ye Yongwang directly found a long-term worker to feed the cow, and he didn't even have an excuse to come and take a look.

Now his family finally has a cow.

"But what to do with our land? Why don't we go to my eldest brother's house to borrow cattle!" Lu Yongfu said.

"The uncle's cow is about to give birth to a calf. His family also rented the cow from the county. Let's go to the county to rent a cow! Then I will go to the uncle's house to borrow a plow!" Lu Zili said to Lu Dashan.

Just when Lu Dashan was about to agree, Mrs. Lu Li came from a distance carrying water and said, "You don't have to pay for renting cattle! Go to his house and bring the two donkeys."

Lu Zili advised: "My uncle's donkey has been working hard for several days, so let's go rent a cow! Don't make the relationship between the two families even more tense!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu snorted coldly.

Said: "I'll borrow it, let's see if he dares to lend it to me!"

After saying that, he handed the water bottle to Lu Bai, turned around and headed towards Ye's house.
