The Zhou family is very proud of their success. The third girl is so smart. Even at such a young age, she not only earns money for the family, but also teaches everyone to read and write. I wonder how many times smarter she is than her uncle.

The little girl works so hard, so he, as the head of the family, needs to work even harder.

"Let's go and get to work in the fields."

Everyone was still immersed in a happy mood, but after hearing what he said, they picked up their tools and went back to the fields.

Mrs. Feng brought her three children, Erya, Sanya and Siya, and first washed clothes by the river. Then she started to pick and wash vegetables in preparation for lunch.

Today Zhou Mingshu asked to be the chef. She has read a lot of recipes recently and wanted to show off her skills to everyone.

After all, everyone works so hard in the fields, so they have to eat better.

"Second sister, please cut off the tails of the snails so I can stir-fry them later."

"Aunt, please light the fire first. I'll go check if there are any fish in the basket."

Zhou Mingshu ran towards the fish basket and saw that there was no one around. With a thought, a lively crucian carp appeared in his hand.

She planned to use the crucian carp to make a bowl of fish soup and stir-fried snails.

Now that there was flour at home, she cut a bunch of leeks and made a leek pancake. This leek pancake was Mrs. Zhou's favorite.

There were still a lot of cauliflowers that she picked on the mountain the day before. She washed a handful and planned to make stir-fried cauliflowers with fragrant mushrooms.

Make two more mushroom dishes, and five dishes and one soup will be almost complete.

Looking at the basket of eggs in the kitchen, Zhou Mingshu steamed another bowl of eggs for Zhou Minghua.

Because she had many modern seasonings, every dish was delicious. Feng was originally hesitant to let a little girl cook, but now that she saw the finished product, she felt that she had overestimated herself. Her cooking skills were not as good as those of a little girl.

The tea in the kettle was already brewed, with some mint leaves floating in it. Feng put the kettle aside to cool and started washing the dishes to prepare for dinner.

Zhou Mingqi went out early in the morning to call people, but no one came back yet.

There was a lot of rice in the yard, and if you wanted to get to the door, you had to go around the wall.

"Aunt, you stay at home, I'll go see why he hasn't come back yet."

Zhou Mingshu took off his apron and walked towards the fields. The harvest was good and all the villagers in Lianglin Village were smiling.

But they didn't have a lot of paddy fields, only about three or four acres. After a morning, only a small piece was left to be harvested. The golden rice, piled in piles in the field, looked particularly well-behaved.

"Grandma, the meal is ready. Why don't you go home and eat first and then come over."

"It's almost done. You came just in time. You and your sisters can carry it home together. You don't have to leave someone to watch over the field later."

Zhou Mingyuan was squatting on the ground picking up rice ears, dragging a backpack behind him. The sweat on his face was black. Zhou Mingshu said "eh", took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his brother's face.

"Okay, stop picking it up and go home first. The meal is ready. Leave the rest to me."

Zhou Mingshu took the backpack from his younger brother and began to stuff the harvested rice into it. Then he followed his older brother and sister and carried it home bit by bit.

No wonder Zhou Mingyuan was asked to pick rice ears in the fields. The stalks were really brittle and would break with a little force.

On the way back, there were many children picking up rice, because everyone was harvesting, and there were many leftover rice ears in the fields and at the edge of the land.

The half-grown children in the family are responsible for this task.

After being freed, Zhou Mingyuan started running, running faster than a rabbit. He didn't seem tired at all. Zhou Mingshu felt that he was really worried about him for nothing.

The sun was at its highest point in the sky, shining brightly on everything on the ground. Zhou Mingshu looked up and felt dizzy.

Only the village chief's family had an ox cart. Other families had to rely on manual transportation, which took a lot of effort.

"Oh, I am so tired. We used to have cows, but we sold them two years ago. Otherwise, we could have used a bullock cart to pull the cart."

Speaking of this, Zhou Mingshu had some impression. At that time, there were not only cows in the family, but also several sheep.

When Zhou Mingyuan was five or six years old, he loved playing with sheep and would feed them one by one after cutting grass.

Once he was naughty and insisted on taking the sheep for a walk. After walking around the village several times, he tired a ewe to death.

The adults in the family probably thought that the ewe was old, so he was not beaten. Now when they talked about this incident to him, the little rascal had forgotten it.

"Big sister, please be patient. Our family is getting better and better, and we will definitely be able to afford these livestock in the future."

Zhou Mingqin smiled and nodded. She also had a hunch that as long as everyone worked together, good days would come.

When they returned to the fields, they saw Zhou Laosan carrying some rice onto a cart. It turned out that he had borrowed a cart.

This makes things a lot easier. There is a rope on the car, so a lot of things can be transported at one time.

Plus, some rice could be put into the backpack, but after two trips back and forth, all the rice in the field was transported away.

The remaining work was to pick rice ears. Old Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu picked in the fields for a while before going home.

After lunch, they planned to go and pick up the trash again.

After finishing all these tasks, the sun had already set. Feng brought the food to the table, took the bowls and chopsticks and prepared to eat.

The men in the house brought basins and towels to the water tank for cleaning. They were the main workers and their bodies were soaked with sweat.

"Hmm~ It tastes good. The fish soup is very fresh." Boss Zhou took the lead in serving a bowl of soup to taste.

After working for most of the day, I come home and eat this table full of food, and I feel satisfied and happy.

"Hehe, thanks to uncle's fish basket, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drink this fish soup."

After Zhou Mingshu said this, everyone knew that there was another big fish in the fish basket.

The other dishes also tasted very delicious. Everyone praised Zhou Mingshu. She smiled and said nothing.

It wasn't her fault at all, but the seasoning they had never seen before.

As long as you have these seasonings, anyone’s cooking will be delicious.

After everyone had their meal, they started eating snails with bamboo sticks. This was the second time Zhou Mingshu had made it, and the taste was as good as ever. The three Zhou brothers were having a great time eating the snails and chatting at the same time.

After dinner, Mrs. Zhou told the eldest son, "Don't be idle, the three of you. Have a good rest after dinner. Go to your uncle's house to help in the afternoon. I'll go pack some mushrooms, you can take them with you."

Old Mrs. Zhou’s younger brother, Wang Quanlin, has only two daughters, both of whom are married. Although their daughters and sons-in-law would come back to help, the Zhou family would always go there during the harvest season.

This year will certainly be no exception.

Old Mrs. Zhou and her three daughters-in-law did not rest either, as they still had a lot of things to do after dinner.

Feng had stayed at home for most of the day. Now she picked up her basket and went out to the fields with her elder and younger sisters-in-law to pick rice ears.
