Eating big melon is so refreshing

Xiao Qiulin had no choice but to say, "Grandpa, I'm a man, I'm not afraid of this pain."

"Xiao Qiu'er is so brave." Zhao Bei praised him and was deeply moved. Who said that these two children were not close to him? They had specially studied tools for harvesting wheat.

"Grandpa, the book says that using a hoe to harvest wheat is 5 to 6 times faster than using a sickle. I asked my father and it used to take one person eight and a half hours to harvest one acre of wheat. It should take less than one and a half hours with a hoe." Xiao Chunya said, "If six people harvest one acre of wheat at the same time, it will take 30 minutes ( minutes). Grandpa, uncle, father, uncle, we will know when we try it tomorrow morning."

The adults present were eager to try it out after hearing what she said. How could they bear to wait until tomorrow? The one who couldn't wait the most was Zhao Wulang. He jumped up first and said, "Dad, I'm going to take a walk in the wheat field."

"Stop, the sun is too strong at noon. If you want to go, you have to wait until Shenzheng (4pm). It's still Weishi (2pm) now." Zhao Bei shouted in a deep voice. Every year, many people suffer from heatstroke while harvesting wheat. Some even die from serious illnesses. They would rather get up early and go to bed late than go out to work when the sun is the strongest at noon.

Zhao Wulang was embarrassed. He was a little impulsive, but if it were someone else, they would also be unable to resist after hearing about such a useful tool.

Xiao Chunya couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't Third Uncle arrived home yet? Is the ox cart so slow?"

What ox cart?

Just as everyone was about to ask, they heard the sound of cows mooing at the door. Zhao Sanlang came back driving an ox cart.

"Grandpa, what do you think of this cow? Dad and Third Uncle went to the cattle and horse market to pick it out. They said it's very strong."

Zhao Bei's hands were shaking a little. "Is this our cow?" His family finally had a cow!

"Yes, Dad. This cow is a gift from my second brother and my nephews and nieces to you." Zhao Sanlang is a simple man who says whatever he thinks.

Zhao Bei's eyes instantly turned red. He picked up Xiao Chunya and said with tears in his eyes, "Good children, they are all good children."

He has wanted a cow for most of his life. The summer harvest and planting season every year are the hardest and most difficult times. From his youth to now, every time that time comes, he has wished so much that his family had a cow.

Xiao Chunya felt emotional. Although her grandfather was only three years older than her grandfather, he looked ten years older. His hair was half white, his back was a little hunched, and his face looked more haggard.

"Grandpa, our good days are still ahead, don't be sad." Xiao Chunya said this, but her inner voice sounded, "The great disaster of the old Zhao family has just begun. In the previous life, because there were no cows, grandpa got a heat stroke during the summer harvest and died in two days. Uncle was infected with an epidemic while keeping vigil, and in the end only big brother Da Niu, little brother Xiao Qing and the fifth uncle were able to escape. But they encountered bandits on the way to the county town, and the fifth uncle was killed to protect big brother Da Niu and little brother Xiao Qing. Big brother Da Niu died of illness as soon as he arrived in the county, and in the end only little brother Xiao Qing survived alone."

The people in the Zhao family froze. Except for the children who were too young to understand, everyone else heard Xiao Chunya’s thoughts!

Zhao Bei’s body stiffened. Did he die of heatstroke while harvesting wheat?

Zhao Dalang was also in a state of panic. He was infected with the plague? He had vaguely heard that someone in the neighboring village had been infected with the plague. How could this happen when he hadn't even left the village?

"Oh, uncle was infected with the plague by a guy named Donkey Egg. What a big deal! Donkey Egg is not Zhao Fugui's biological son. He is the child of a maid in Zhou Mansion and Xiao Si. That maid was so vicious that she threw away Zhao Fugui's child. Oh, the youngest son adopted by the master of Zhou Mansion is Zhao Fugui's biological son."

Xiao Chunya continued to expose the secrets, "It turns out that Donkey Egg already knows his life story. He originally wanted to trick his fifth uncle, but who knew that he would trick his eldest uncle instead of his fifth uncle. Eh? I didn't have a younger brother in my previous life. How did I die last time? I died of an illness. What? My grandparents were infected with an epidemic. The whole Huangyang County had an outbreak, and one-third of the population died? Calculating the time, Donkey Egg should have been infected with the epidemic but has not been discovered yet. We must stop this bad guy from spreading it everywhere. Oh my, how can I find an excuse?"

"Dad, I'm going to tidy up the farm tools." Zhao Wulang said this and left the hall. If he stayed any longer, he would not be able to control his emotions. Damn donkey, he caused his family to be destroyed!

Zhao Erlang reacted quickly and said, "I'll go and take a look too." As for what he wanted to see, it's hard to say. He just said that this donkey was not a good person. The last time he saw his wife looking lecherous, he deserved a beating.

Xiao Chunya was a little confused and said, "Isn't the tool room in the yard? Where do Dad and Second Uncle go to organize the tools?"

"We don't have enough shoulder poles at home. We need to borrow some from others." Zhao Bei calmly changed the subject.

"Didn't Xiaochun want to eat the sheep-horn rice dumplings? Do you want the ones with red bean paste or the ones with mung bean paste?"

"It's filled with red bean paste."

As long as there was food, she would forget about everything else. Little Chunya got down from her grandfather’s arms and curiously followed him to the kitchen.

Xiao Qiulin met Zhao Bei's eyes and said calmly, "No one else can hear my sister's voice, not even blood relatives more than a hundred feet away. Let's control Donkey Egg first and don't let him infect others."

Zhao Silang said, "I was wondering how a hero like Uncle Fugui could give birth to such a weirdo. Turns out he's a fake!"

Zhao Bei's face darkened and he said, "Boss, come with me to find the village chief."

The village chief is the nephew of Zhao Beitang. Since his son Zhao Ming passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he has more prestige in the village. Zhao Fugui is the village chief's uncle, and the village chief hates the fake Donkey Egg more than anyone else.

The village chief acted quickly and immediately gathered a few big men to go to Donkey's home and tied him up without any explanation.

Someone rushed to the neighboring Xiaohe Village to ask for a doctor. After the doctor confirmed that the donkey's eggs had been infected with the epidemic, the donkey's eggs were immediately dragged to a remote house and locked up.

"Everyone in the village, young and old, should drink mung bean water to detoxify. They should also pay attention to anyone who is infected and seek medical treatment immediately."

The doctor said, "Drink more water in this weather, be careful of heat stroke, and be careful of epidemic outbreaks."

After sending the doctor away, the villagers couldn't help but murmur, "This bastard is obviously sick, but he was still wandering around this morning. His intentions are so vicious."

"Uncle Fugui was a hero all his life, how come he ended up with such a son?"

"Lu Dan is not Uncle Fugui's biological son. He is a fake who was replaced by someone else."

"What? This donkey egg is a fake?"

"Yes, he is the child of a maidservant and a servant of a wealthy family. That vicious woman stole Uncle Fugui's child and threw him away. He already knew his origins."
