Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Without waiting for Li An to answer, Li De continued speaking.

"After drinking a bowl of it, I felt like I had taken a panacea. I could barely open my eyelids, but after drinking this bowl, I felt like I had a good night's sleep. I felt so energetic that I felt like I could work for another day and night."

"Yueyue asked your sister-in-law to cook it. There are several big pots at home. Anyone in the village who wants to drink it can go and get some." Li An said proudly.

Ang Lee also drank the herbal tea, so he naturally knew how great it tasted.

"The weather is too hot, even at night it's very hot. Yueyue is worried that everyone will get sick from working non-stop, so she took out a lot of medicinal herbs and asked Wanniang to make herbal tea, saying that drinking it will not easily cause heatstroke."

Needless to say, after Li De drank the herbal tea, his body's reaction made him realize how good the herbal tea was.

"Yueyue cares so much about the village. I believe everyone will trust Mengyue more in the future." Li De said.

The village chief also drank the herbal tea. He was worried that the villagers were too tired and would not be able to harvest the remaining rice before dawn.

Unexpectedly, Zebao brought me herbal tea. After drinking it, I felt full of energy and not sleepy at all. I immediately realized that this herbal tea was a good thing.

"Zebao, take the children and bring herbal tea to the adults. Tell everyone to drink two bowls."

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll go right away."

Watching Zebao's small figure running away, the village chief glanced at the sky and muttered to himself: "In another hour, it will be dawn."

Seeing that there was still some rice left in the field, he picked up a sickle from the edge of the field and did not go into the field again.

Instead, he shouted to the field, "There is still an hour until dawn. Stop harvesting those crops that have not been harvested yet and bring the harvested crops back to the cellar. We can do the rest when we have time."

The villagers who were still bending over to cut rice heard the village chief's words. They said nothing, called their families and pulled the rice home.

Then, the fields of Xinghua Village showed the same coordinated movements again.

After the village chief finished talking about pulling rice, every household took action.

The village chief glanced at his own fields and started working with his eldest and youngest sons.

But when I was working, I was always nervous and uneasy.

Holding a large bundle of rice, the village chief didn't look at his feet.

"thump!"

"father!"

"Old man!"

Li Youliang and Zhou Juan, who were tying rice with straw ropes not far away, saw the village chief fall to the ground with the rice. They immediately put down their work and ran over.

"Dad, you've been tired for a whole day and night. Why don't you go home and rest? Don't worry about the rice in the field. Mom, brother and I can finish it."

"Yes, old man, you have to take care of the family and the village every day, which must be very tiring. You should stop doing the rest."

"Dad, Mom and brother are right, you should take care of yourself!"

"..."

Village chief Li thought that he just fell down because he didn't walk steadily, and there was not even a scratch on his body. It was not as serious as they said.

He waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. I won't delay my work."

"Old man, why are you so stubborn?"

Seeing that two or three people couldn't convince her, Zhou Juan simply gave up and let things take their own course.

Anyway, the old man is a grandfather, not a child. If he is really not feeling well, he will definitely not force himself.

She advised earnestly here that it would be better to harvest more rice.

Seeing that his wife and two sons had gone to work, the village chief propped himself up and stood up, but did not try to continue working.

Instead, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Be quick, everyone. Take the harvested ones back and then come and harvest the rest."

In order to avoid the harvested rice being pulled into the cellar before the locusts arrive, it would be an easy target for the locusts.

Village chief Li ran and shouted loudly.

"Don't cut them all, pull them back quickly and put them in the cellar."

"Remember, put it in the cellar."

After a tiring day and night, even if everyone drank herbal tea to restore their energy and spirits, the physical fatigue was not so easy to eliminate.

Whether they were strong laborers, women, children or the elderly, their legs were shaking with fatigue.

Not to mention lying on the bed, even on rice stalks, there are many people who can fall asleep in one second.

But the rice left in the field was less than two-tenths, and it could all be harvested in less than half an hour.

But the village chief has already said that we have to bring all the crops home before we can continue harvesting.

Since the village chief has absolute authority in the village, everyone listens to him and takes the rice home.

"Why did the village chief ask us to put it in the cellar? The rice is still wet. If we throw it in the yard, it will be completely dry in two or three days."

"How would I know? Anyway, we just need to do whatever the village chief tells us to do. Why should we think so much?"

"But there is so much rice, all piled up in the cellar, what if it gets moldy? We already lost a lot when we harvested it early, and now it will be even more."

"Didn't the village chief say that a locust plague is coming, with a large number of locusts passing through? Don't you know that you should leave no grass behind? If you leave it in the yard, why would you bother to cut it and bring it home?"

"Of course I understand, but I feel sorry for the rice. In another half month, the rice will be full, but it's not ripe yet."

"Okay, since we still have the energy to talk, we might as well get home as soon as possible."

Such conversations were not only taking place in Xinghua Village, but also in the other six villages.

*

Lotus Village.

Ma Wei was breathing heavily, his clothes were soaked with sweat, without a dry spot, and he took weak steps and struggled to move the rice into the yard.

Then, regardless of whether his clothes would get dirty, he sat on the ground.

"call……"

"I can't do it anymore. I've been cutting rice non-stop since daytime. I'm so tired that I can hardly stand up straight."

Ma Wei's wife held the stool with one hand and pounded her lower back with the other, saying slowly, "Yes, I'm exhausted."

The two rested for a while and started working again.

The same goes for other people in Lianhua Village. Although they are all farmers and have been farming all their lives, they have never experienced harvesting rice all night long.

As he kept cutting rice with a sickle and repeating the same action over and over again, his palms cracked and blood oozed out of the wounds.

Even when he was tying rice with his hands, he couldn't help shaking.

In the past, it only took me a few minutes to make a bundle of rice, but now the speed is much slower than before.

After a day and a night of hard work, the rice that was endless as far as the eye could see yesterday morning was reduced to only a few scattered clusters still standing strong in the field after the harvest.

This side of Xinghua Village.

"Hey, why are there still large tracts of land that have been confiscated?"

Village chief Li saw that the rice in his own field had been harvested, but there was still a little bit left. He didn't have to go to the field, and his two sons could do it.

He was now sitting on the doorstep, with a gong next to his right foot, a yellowed handkerchief with frayed threads draped over his shoulder, and his left hand wiping the sweat from his forehead.

I looked up inadvertently and saw the rice in the distance.

In the past, the village chief might not have been able to find it from such a distance.

Now the rice of every household in the village has been harvested, except for one or two lonely pieces, which are obviously not in good condition.

When Village Chief Li saw that the entire piece of land had not been moved at all, his head was buzzing for a moment and he couldn't remember whose land it was.
