Zhou Mingshu had no choice but to lean on it as they walked towards the river. When he reached the water source, he lowered his head and began to drink water. It turned out that he was a little thirsty, no wonder he didn't eat so happily just now.

They went home only after the little donkey had drunk most of the water.

"Grandma, the little donkey has almost finished eating. He just drank some water."

"Okay, tie it up at the back first, wash your hands, we'll have dinner soon."

Today's dinner was earlier than usual. Zhou Mingshu cut the mung bean jelly and brought it over, then began to prepare the sauce.

Onions and garlic are indispensable. Today she added some wild onion roots and mint leaves, and then drizzled sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar and a little bit of pickles.

This bowl of mung bean jelly is definitely enough for everyone. In order to make the taste richer, she also added some mushroom oil on the side. Those who like the mushroom flavor can mix it.

Except for the few people who had eaten it before, almost all the men in the family were eating it for the first time.

This thing looks like tofu, but it is a bit transparent and has a more delicate and refreshing taste.

There was no one present who did not love it.

Fortunately, everyone liked it very much. Zhou Mingshu was very happy and she was willing to try these new things.

"I made a lot today. The rest is chilled in the well. We can have another meal tomorrow."

After hearing what Zhou Mingshu said, everyone said yes in unison while chewing their food.

"Saya, are you sure this is made from mung beans? It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like this in town. It looks good and tastes good." Boss Zhou's cheeks were bulging with food.

"Hey, it's really made of mung beans. Mung beans and soybeans are relatives. Soybeans can be used to make tofu, so mung beans can naturally be used to make things, and the same goes for peas."

"Oh, that's great! I can really set up a stall on the street and I will definitely make a lot of money." Zhou Laosan was very excited. He had discovered a business opportunity!

"Let's eat first. If you want to do business, you have to finish this busy period." Old Mrs. Zhou poured a basin of cold water on her head.

While everyone was there, Old Mrs. Zhou began to arrange the wheat harvest for tomorrow.

From the youngest Zhou Minghua to the oldest Zhou Lao Da, everything was arranged clearly, even the pregnant Feng was no exception.

Ten acres of wheat is a tough battle!

With so many people in the family, the wheat has to be harvested and transported home, and then threshed and stored. It will take at least a week.

Mrs. Zhou was right, and no one in the room objected.

After dinner, the three sisters-in-law went to wash the pots and dishes, while the three Zhou brothers dragged out the cart to modify it.

The cart has a large compartment, but the fender is too low.

If you want to fit more things in, you have to make the surrounding baffles higher.

I cut a lot of bamboos today and used them for the transformation.

Zhou Mingshu helped everyone review what they had learned before, and his eyes were on what was happening in the yard.

"Zhou Mingyuan, what are you looking at? Write this word carefully. Rewrite it five times."

Seeing Zhou Mingyuan retract his curious gaze, Zhou Mingshu was very proud and said, "Little brother, how can I, your elder sister, not subdue you? You little brat."

After making sure that everyone could write, Zhou Mingshu started to prepare for washing with everyone.

Before it got dark, everyone in Zhou's family lay down on their beds to rest, as they had to get up and work before dawn the next day.

Zhou Mingshu was still dreaming. He felt that he had just fallen asleep when he heard someone knocking on the door.

She sat up yawning, took out the old clothes she had prepared yesterday and put them on.

Going to work in the fields without putting on nice clothes.

The weather was hot, so she tied up all her hair, leaving even her bangs.

I checked myself in a small mirror and found that the scar patch did have some effect. The scar could not be seen at all unless you looked carefully.

Then tie a small cloth scarf on the top of your head so that it won’t get caught on your hair when you wear the straw hat.

She was not the only one who thought so. When Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi came over from the backyard, they were both wearing similar clothes.

But the one who attracted more attention was Zhou Mingshu.

After being used to seeing her with bangs, she suddenly combed her hair up, looking very fresh.

"Saya, the scar on your forehead is not obvious anymore. You should comb your bangs all up in the future. You look better without bangs." Zhou Mingqi said jokingly.

"Hey, let's leave it like this for now. When the scar grows longer, I'm afraid that piece of tender flesh will get tanned."

"That makes sense. Let's cover it up again."

The Zhou family had a simple breakfast, corn porridge, eggs, pickles, and pancakes. After eating, they took their sickles, backpacks, and straw mats to the wheat fields.

The main force in harvesting wheat was still the men in the family, including Old Lady Zhou, Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Liu. However, there were not so many sickles in the family, only five in total, so the adults could only take turns to do it.

The work of harvesting wheat cannot stop, especially at this time in the morning.

When they arrived at the field, the sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the air was fresh, cool, and a little cold.

The wheat in my hand is also elastic, the ears of wheat will not fall off, and the awns will not prick my hands.

The person in front cuts a bunch of grass, and the person behind loads a bunch of grass onto the donkey cart. When the donkey cart is full, they load a few backpacks.

While the weather is not too hot, they make two more trips home.

With Old Lady Zhou in charge, everything was done in an orderly manner.

Feng sat on a straw mat and rubbed straw ropes. There was no need for straw ropes during the morning wheat harvest, but at noon, once the moisture on the straw evaporated, the stalks would slip against each other.

At this time, you have to use straw ropes to fix the straw first, and then load it onto the donkey cart.

The two children, Zhou Minghua and Zhou Mingyuan, were carrying baskets and picking wheat ears in the field, picking up all of them, big and small.

By the time the donkey had made two trips home, almost all the villagers in Lianglin Village had arrived.

Compared with the families harvesting wheat yesterday, the wheat fields today are full of people and the wheat in the fields can’t wait.

When the villagers saw the Zhou family driving the donkey cart back and forth to deliver wheat, they were extremely envious.

They still have to carry the things home bit by bit in backpacks, which is so tiring.

Although the Zhou family had a donkey cart, they only had five sickles, so the extra labor had to carry the goods back and forth in backpacks.

You can carry a lot at a time using a backpack, but it's a bit tiring.

But now that they have a donkey cart at home, their work is not so hard.

The sun rose quickly and the temperature rose as well. Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from my cheeks, and if I wasn't careful, they might even drip into my eyes.

The speed at which everyone cut the wheat gradually slowed down, and Old Lady Zhou took some straw ropes and began to tie the wheat into bundles.

"Er Ya and San Ya, stop loading the car, take the basket and pick up the wheat ears. Look how much has fallen on the ground. Sandan and Siya can't pick them all up."

Although the two half-grown children can do some work, they are still a little inexperienced compared to their older children.

"Okay, grandma." Zhou Mingshu responded loudly, then wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

"Second sister, let's go to the field and get the basket."

"All right."

Once the two sisters left, only the eldest sister, eldest brother and Xiaojie were left loading the car.

At this pace, it would be good if we can harvest four acres out of ten acres of land today.
