After rubbing the wolf cub, Chu Xiao quickly hid to the side. The wolf cub would surely shake its fur the first time it climbed up, and he didn't want to be thrown all over it.

Now that there are many livestock at home, Yan Sanmei no longer lets Zhang Yiming send them here after she is able to come out to cut grass.

Zhang Yiming stayed for another two days, but was glared at by Yan Zhenshen and he didn't dare to come over these days.

Now that Chu Xiao can go out, it is natural for him to share some of the housework. Now he has to cut more than just grass for feeding the day, he also has to start preparing for feeding the livestock in the winter.

Chu Xiao could now bend over without the support of a big belly, and he could cut grass much faster than before. Moreover, he didn't have to carry the grass back one basket at a time, and the time saved was enough to pack two more baskets.

It took an entire afternoon to cut the grass, and the little hands, which should have been white, were stained with grass green stains.

The crops in the fields have begun to form ears and can be harvested in less than a month.

Many families have planted early wheat in their dry land. In the past few days, many men have gone to the fields to check on the crops, waiting for them to mature.

Yan Sanmei also joked that last year our family only had dry land, but this year we only have paddy fields, so we only need to be busy for a while and we don’t have to compete with God for time twice.

The wolf cub's fur had dried long ago, but he was angry because Chu Xiao had been holding him in the bath for a long time. Seeing that no one was trying to comfort him, he came over again.

As soon as it came over, it wanted to rub against Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao saw it a long time ago and hid to the side. The wolf cub went to rub against him again, and Chu Xiao continued to hide.

This really amused the wolf cub, and it jumped and pounced to imitate Chu Xiao. However, it jumped too hard and pounced on Yan Sanmei, causing her to fall to the ground.

Yan Sanmei was so angry that she screamed. The wolf cub was not afraid of Sanmei at all. When he saw her trying to stand up, he rushed to pounce on her.

The wolf cub had been beaten up many times by Yan Zhenshen in the past few days, so it no longer dared to show its teeth to its family members. But it would not get beaten for playing like this, so it was very smart.

Yan Sanmei was not knocked down again, but she could not get up. She was so angry that she hit the wolf cub with grass, and the wolf cub dodged to the left and right.

Sometimes, when it sees that the third sister doesn't want to fight anymore, it will deliberately get hit. It doesn't hurt anyway, and it seems more like it is teasing the third sister.

Chu Xiao was mowing the grass and laughing beside the wolf cub. He let the wolf cub be naughty for a while, then hurried over and grabbed the wolf cub by the neck and pulled it aside.

If he ignored her, the girl would definitely be very angry and might even refuse to come out to work with him.

The wolf cub knew when to stop and did not stay here to continue annoying people. Instead, he turned around and ran towards the river, probably to provoke the calf again.

Chu Xiao's guess was correct. After a while, mooing sounds were heard from the river bank, and then the wolf cub was seen running in front, with the calf chasing behind.

But a wolf's endurance is not as good as a cow's. When the wolf cub is tired of running, the calf will let it rest for a while and eat some grass before continuing.

The wolf cub would not run away with the calf. It just walked back and forth around the river bank until the wolf was so tired that it lay on the ground and didn't want to move at all. Then the calf wandered back to the cow.

The sun was setting, Chu Xiao and Yan Sanmei went back, and the wolf cub followed them into the new house again. While Chu Xiao was not paying attention, he ran into the main room. Before Yan Zhengdao drove him away, he lay on the small wooden bed and took a look.

Xiaoyuer on the bed was not asleep at this time. He was not afraid at all when he saw the wolf cub and was even grinning.

"Get out, Xiao brother, take care of this wolf cub." Yan Zhengdao stood up and called Chu Xiao to come over and take a look.

Chu Xiao called out to the wolf cub, and the cub retracted its claws from the crib and ran out of the new house, as if it was afraid of being punished.

The wheat in the fields finally ripened, and families who had planted early wheat were busy harvesting it. Yan Zhenshen also went to help Wang Wu's family.

The sky suddenly turned cloudy that afternoon. I didn't know when the rain would fall or how long it would last.

If it rains for a long time, the harvested wheat cannot be dried and will get moldy if it is piled together.

Chu Xiao was mowing the grass and looked up at the sky. Yan Sanmei also looked up and said, "Don't let it rain."

Although rice needs rain when it is forming ears, if wheat is exposed to rain for a long time, some of it will be knocked down by the rain, and some will germinate on the ears.

Farmers cherish food and don’t want to waste even a bit of it on the fields.

After a while, several women passed by, all of whom were going to the fields to harvest crops.

Yan Sanmei hurriedly greeted a few people and was thankful that her family had no dry land this year, otherwise she would really not be able to harvest the crops, which would probably make her cry.

Chu Xiao naturally didn't want it to rain. Now that his family had a lot of livestock, if they only fed them hay in the winter, they would probably work themselves to death and still not be able to cut enough hay.

They all need to be fed mixed with rice bran and wheat bran. I’m afraid there is not enough in my own fields, so I have to go to the village to buy some.

But people in the village raise chickens, ducks, cows, pigs and the like. If it keeps raining and the wheat gets moldy, they won’t dare to use the wheat bran to feed the livestock, for fear that they won’t be able to buy any bran.

Besides, he wanted to stockpile more rice, flour, grain and oil this year, but he didn't want a reduction in grain production at all.

Fortunately, the rain did not fall until the evening.

Yan Zhenshen came back near dark, took a coarse cloth coat, and said that Wang Wu's family still had more than one acre of land left, and he wanted to take it all back tonight.

He will also go over to help tonight so that they can finish the harvest earlier and avoid having to worry about the rain falling at any time.

After the grain is harvested, if it really rains, the farmers can at least think of some stupid ways to deal with it, such as using the kang to coax the grain out of the ground or spreading it on the floor. Anyway, any amount of rain is good.

"Why don't I go over and help collect them?" Zhao Guizhi said as she took a thick coat. It was autumn now and it was always much colder at night.

Zhao Guizhi is more experienced in harvesting wheat than Chu Xiao. People are rushing to harvest, so naturally whoever works faster will go over.

Now that Zhao Guizhi has left, Chu Xiao can't leave either. Xiao Yuer has to be taken care of at night. Yan Zhengdao can only look after Cheng Cheng during the day, but no one can rest assured at night because of his poor legs and feet.

Lin Ge'er originally had less than an acre of dry land, and as the weather was cloudy, he did not dare to put the crops outside to dry, so he piled them in the house first. Then he took Xiaobao to Luo Ge'er's place, asking him to stay at home to look after the child and help with the harvest.

Near midnight, the rain finally fell.

The sound of rain falling on the tiles was very clear. Chu Xiao woke up and first looked at the kid. He was not defecating, urinating, or hungry. Then he got up and opened the window a little.

Hearing the noise upstairs, the wolf cub hiding under the eaves whimpered twice.

Chu Xiao saw that the rain was not that heavy. Looking into the distance, he could still vaguely see the light of torches on the ground.

Wang Wu's family only has more than one acre of land left, which should have been harvested by now.

Chu Xiao's prediction was correct. Wang Wu's land had indeed been harvested, but there were always other families whose land had not been harvested yet.

Those who have finished their work will rush to help other families harvest the crops. They are all food, and no matter whose family it is, they don't want to waste it on the fields.

This meeting actually demonstrated the rare unity of Anning Village.
