After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 44: Accidentally ran into the man cutting rice in the field in the middle of the night

I don't know if Xu Laogen told the villagers about rushing to harvest the crops in advance. Anyway, on the first day of rice harvesting, only Zhu Jiangjiang was in the field.

"Little lady, you can leave these tasks to us. The ground is full of mud. Don't get your clothes dirty."

The water in the field has just been cut off for two days, and the water has dried up, but the mud in the field is still soft when stepped on, and the trouser legs have to be rolled up very high so as not to stain the clothes.

Zhu Jiangjiang can no longer control so much, "Zhou Liang, my family has fifty acres of rice, and it must be harvested in four or five days, ten acres a day. Do you think it can be done with just you and your younger brothers and sisters?" ?”

She sent Pei Xiaoyu and those two little girls who were about the same age to work in the fields, let alone herself.

Moreover, among Zhou Liang's group, only half of them have full adult capabilities, and the others are still children. If she doesn't come, the crops in the field will not be harvested.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Zhou Liang straightened up and glanced at the crops.

Although he didn't know why Zhu Jiangjiang was in such a hurry, he still sped up his movements and cut the rice with all his strength.

Xiaohuang Village came to cut off the water in the fields, and the villagers who drove the birds saw this, they all said that she didn't know how to farm the land, and joked that she was worrying unnecessarily.

From what the villagers said about her unfounded worries, Zhu Jiangjiang knew that Xu Laogen should have looked for them, but they didn't listen.

Xu Laogen didn't come either.

Zhu Jiangjiang led a group of little beggars who came to help and worked in the field for a full day, and only collected six or seven acres of land, which is still far from the goal of ten acres a day.

Moreover, she even saved time for cooking, eating and taking a nap, but she still couldn't do it.

For dinner, just like the one at noon, I only cooked a big pot of rice and a big pot of tofu tea soup, and asked Zhou Liang and the others to make rice until they were full.

"I'm really sorry, it's too late to do today's work, you should be careful when you go back."

It was getting dark after dinner, Zhu Jiangjiang was a little embarrassed, he kept his head down to work today, and forgot the time.

Zhou Liang was very dissatisfied with her politeness.

She is the employer and the owner, so she doesn't need to be so polite to them.

Compared with the jobs he was looking for before, he worked exhaustingly for a whole day, and those who went to pick up food had to be beaten, scolded and ridiculed before he was willing to give them a bite or two of leftovers. I wish Jiangjiang is already doing well .

She not only feeds them, but also respects them very much, and never treats them as beggars, which is beyond his imagination.

During the past few days of working in Pei's house, the younger brothers and sisters seemed to have come to life. Getting up and coming to Pei's house every day became what they were most looking forward to.

I wish Jiang Jiang's great kindness, Zhou Liang didn't know how to repay him, so he could only work hard every day.

But even though he didn't stop for a moment, even eating in the field, they still couldn't achieve the goal of ten acres a day.

Whenever Zhu Jiangjiang straightened up to rest and move around, she would look at the unharvested crops in front of her.

Zhou Liang could see the anxiety in his eyes.

On the third day after the rice was harvested, the mud in the field was completely dry and hard to step on, like flat ground.

Zhu Jiangjiang asked them to go back before dark as usual, but Zhou Liang turned around and left with his younger siblings without saying anything.

However, they did not go far, but waited until dark beside the old official road.

It was completely dark, and the moonlight in summer was bright. Taking advantage of the bright moonlight in the sky, they returned to the field and worked silently with their heads down.

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't know that they had gone and returned. When she went to the field with breakfast the next morning, she found that Zhou Liang and the others had already mowed several acres of land.

"When did you come here today, and why have you done so much?"

She put the porridge down, and the children got up to wash their hands, and gathered around for breakfast.

This was the first time they ate so quietly, which made Zhu Jiangjiang feel like they were too tired to speak.

"No, we haven't been here for long."

Zhou Liang also filled a bowl of porridge for himself. The wall of the bowl was close to his mouth, and he poured it directly, as fast as drinking water.

After eating in a hurry, I washed the bowl in the ditch on the ridge of the field, put it down, and turned to cut the rice again.

The whole process took less than a minute, and Zhu Jiangjiang was stunned.

For several days in a row, I was bending over to cut rice, and my knees and waist couldn't bear it.

Taking a casual glance, Zhu Jiangjiang found that the younger ones were already kneeling and working in the field.

Even so, none of them complained of suffering.

Is she a little too much?Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't help doubting himself.

However, the sky is getting drier, and the air is as dull as if it has never flowed through. The cicadas on the mountain are singing straight into the sky, hovering above the head, making people upset.

All this indicates that it will rain soon.

Xu Laogen, the elder brother, unexpectedly went down to the field today and was also cutting rice.

However, compared with Zhu Jiangjiang, they seemed calmer and calmer.

The reason why Xu Laogen came down today is because he has seen Zhu Jiangjiang's every move in the past few days, and he found that she seemed extremely anxious.

This kind of anxiety made him feel inexplicably nervous, as if something was about to happen.

In order not to let himself continue to think wildly, he decided to go to work in the fields. Regardless of whether the food is good or bad, he can feel at ease when he receives it at home.

Another muffled thunder came down.

The muffled thunder made Zhu Jiangjiang completely panicked.

She had a premonition that the time God left her was running out, and she had to act faster to grab the last food!

"Little fish, take a break, let's cut some rice tonight, shall we?"

After sending Zhou Liang and the others away, Zhu Jiangjiang was so tired that he lay directly on the terrace floor at the door, and said softly to Pei Xiaoyu who was about to fetch water for a bath.

In ancient times, the nights were too long, and she wanted to work overtime. If she could earn an extra acre, she would take an extra acre.

Pei Xiaoyu stopped fetching water, looked sideways at Zhu Jiangjiang for a while, then put down the ladle in his hand, and ran to lie down with Zhu Jiangjiang to rest.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law only rested for two incense sticks. When the villagers just fell asleep, they carried the teapot and sickle and went out again.

This trip directly bumped into Zhou Liang and others who were working in the fields.

"Who is cutting my rice!"

Zhu Jiangjiang saw a few black shadows moving in the field from a distance, and thought they were coming to steal rice, so he ran over.

Zhou Liang and the others turned their heads when they heard the sound, and before they could react, Zhu Jiangjiang came to him.

"Zhou Liang?" Zhu Jiangjiang looked surprised, "Why are you guys!"

This time, she didn't take Zhou Liang as a thief for granted, "So when I came here these two mornings, I saw that you cut a lot of rice, and you did it at night?!"

"You didn't go back, so where do you sleep!" Zhu Jiangjiang became very excited.

What's the matter with Zhou Liang, it's fine if he doesn't rest, his younger siblings are still young, how can they stand such a toss!

"Sleeping on the ground, you can sleep with your pillow on the ridge of the field..." Zhou Liang, who was caught on the spot, was again guilty of admitting his mistake.

He seems to be admitting mistakes to her often?
