Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

"When the corn seedlings we plant in the field grow to the height of our kneecaps, this fertile soil will be put to good use."

When the aunt heard this, she smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth: "Well, very good, very good. Then let's get started right away!"

Afterwards, everyone was busy turning over the fertile soil in the big pit, and everyone's face was covered with sweat.

A few quarters of an hour later.

An Yue saw that the fertilizer covering process was about to be completed, and she pointed to the wasteland not far away that had just been reclaimed a few days ago.

He said, "After we cover the big pit with soil, we will go and clean up that piece of wasteland."

"In the next two days, dig the holes for planting corn seedlings in rows."

"In a few days, when the second batch of corn seedlings grown in the yard grow three tender leaves, our family will transplant and plant them."

As he covered the soil, Daniu responded, "Well, Miss... this method is brilliant."

In a short while, all the fertile soil in the big pit was covered.

Everyone picked up their hoes and walked towards the wasteland that An Yue had just pointed out.

After arriving at the wasteland, everyone was very perceptive and worked in unison.

Grandma and Anyue squatted on the ground, clearing away all kinds of weeds and placing them in a pile.

Da Niu, A'er, Chunzhi and the aunt's wife used hoes to level the uneven soil that had been plowed before.

Then, relying on their rich working experience, they wielded hoes and began to dig pits in rows.

......

The sun gradually moved westward.

Suddenly, a breeze blew over from the back mountain, bringing a touch of coolness to everyone.

Everyone was working hard. An Yue threw the weeds in her hand aside and took a step back.

When he stepped back, it seemed as if he stepped on something soft.

He was so scared that he screamed "Ah!"

Then she quickly stood up and took a closer look.

———It turned out to be a rabbit.

When everyone heard the shout, they stopped what they were doing and quickly ran to An Yue.

Chunzhi asked as she ran: "Miss, what happened? Did you run into a snake?"

An Yue patted her chest and said, "It's okay, it's not a snake. I was frightened by the rabbit that Ba Shi brought."

The aunt asked in confusion, "Yueyue, when did you become afraid of rabbits?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of rabbits, it's that Ba Shi brought the rabbit to me and put it behind me, and I stepped on it accidentally."

Everyone nodded in sudden realization.

At this time, Ba Shi was squatting on the ground, with his mouth slightly open and the corners of his mouth raised.

It seemed to be laughing at An Yue's frightened look.

An Yue glared at Eighty unhappily and shouted, "Eight! Ten!"

When the dog Bashi heard An Yue's loud shout, its eyes instantly opened wider than copper bells, and it was obviously frightened.

It stood on all fours with its tail drooping, and barked twice at An Yue in a wronged manner.

It seemed to be saying, "I worked so hard to hunt rabbits, but instead of praising me, you were mean to me!"

An Yue felt a little guilty, so she walked up to Ba Shi and whispered to him, "Ba Shi, do you want to eat rabbit legs?"

With An Yue's understanding and comfort, it wagged its tail and made a "weeping" sound from its mouth.

Seeing this, everyone smiled and continued to work.

Ale laughed and said, "Haha, Ba Shi is really amazing! He even hunts rabbits himself when he wants to eat rabbit legs."

Chunzhi also smiled and responded, "Yes! Eighty is the money the young lady spent to buy it to guard the house."

An Yue squatted beside Bashi and kept stroking its back.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the sun had already hidden behind the western hills.

Everyone worked faster.

It was not until dusk fell and the ground became blurred that they picked up their hoes and carried the eighty rabbits they had hunted back home.

back home.

An Nian and his sister-in-law Meng Xiuer had already prepared dinner.

Everyone returned to the yard, put the hoes back into the tool room, washed their hands, and prepared to enjoy dinner.

Everyone sat around on a bench, eating wild boar meat stewed with potatoes and fried duck eggs with peppers.

......

After dinner.

After everyone had fed the poultry and livestock, they sat together in the yard to enjoy the cool air and talked about the happy things that had happened to them.

An Yue leaned back in the chair, listening to them talking and laughing.

From time to time, I looked up at the starry night sky.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: [Now that the drought has passed, the people can finally grow crops, but Yongchuan County is now like this dark night, making it difficult to see the road ahead. ]

She folded her arms across her chest, sighed deeply, and continued to think: [I wonder if Gu Mingchuan handed over the evidence and the Book of All People to the emperor? I wonder if he...]

As the night grew deeper, everyone packed up the stools in the yard and went back to their houses to rest.

Summer nights are always short. When you close your eyes and open them again, it’s a new day.

Day after day, the whole family works from sunrise to sunset and rests from sunset to sunrise.

......

Four months later.

It is already autumn.

An Yue looked at the scene of bountiful harvest all around her, feeling filled with emotion.

She recalled how after the natural disaster, she and Ale had gone through great difficulties to find corn seeds in the town.

I recall the various scenes of the family working together, planting, fertilizing, weeding, watering with manure, etc.

Now, the harvest has finally arrived.

This day, it was the hour of Mao.

A ray of dawn appeared in the sky, and the six people, Daniu, A'er, aunt, grandmother, Chunzhi, and Anyue, walked out of the yard gate early in the morning, carrying baskets on their backs.

They hurried to the fields to pick corn before the sun rose.

Several people came to the field.

Daniu broke off a corn, tore open the husk, and said in disbelief, "Our Yuyu...corn is finally ripe!"

Everyone started to get busy.

My aunt held up the big corn in one hand and wiped the tears of excitement from her cheek with the other hand, saying, "I have never seen such big corn in my life."

Haruji also smiled happily: "Yes, yes! It feels like a dream."

They looked at the corns in the field, which were growing as long as their palms and with full grains. The whole family was extremely excited.

Everyone was quickly moving around in the field picking corn. Looking at the corn in their hands, everyone was as happy as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

This scene was just as they wished.

They broke off the golden corns one by one and put them into the backpacks. Everyone's face was filled with the joy of the harvest.

Meng Xiu'er was making breakfast with her big belly, while An Nian was passing firewood under the stove and reading a book by the light of the fire.

An Nian is about to take part in the children's exam, and he must give it his all.

At daybreak, everyone had already run back and forth across the fields several times.

As soon as she got home, Meng Xiuer shouted:
