Every spring, Daohua will go to Daoxiang Village to inspect the spring plowing situation, and she will bring rice every time. As for Daozi, when she arrives at the village, she soon gets involved with the children of the tenant farmers, inviting cats and dogs, and running around wildly.<

/p>

Therefore, rice is no stranger to the fields.

Compared to Xiao Moreng and others who were still annoyed because they stepped in the ground, soiled their shoes and bumped their feet, Daazi had already picked up the ears of grain happily with his small bag.

The field where several children were picking ears of grain was harvested just yesterday.

After the rice is exposed to the sun, the grains fall off easily. Even if the tenants harvest carefully, there will always be some ears falling in the ditches.

Not only are the rice picked up a few times, but the children of the tenant families are also picking it up.

The ears of corn left in the field belong to whoever picks them up. There is no need to teach them. At this time, all the children of the tenant families will go out.

Seeing the fields full of children picking up ears of corn, Xiao Moreng and the others seemed to be assimilated and slowly joined in the picking.

"We are picking up the ears of corn because we are being punished, are they too?" Xiao Mobao picked up the ears of corn slowly, bending once and taking a rest before bending a second time. Slowly, even the youngest Xiao Moxu walked in front of him.

.

When Daazi heard this, he turned around and said, "I know this. They pick up these ears of grain and take them back to eat."

Xiao Moqing looked puzzled: "There is so much food grown in the fields, but it's not enough for them to eat?"

Rice stopped and stood: "Because these lands are not theirs, so these grains have nothing to do with them. They can only get a small part."

As he said that, he looked at Xiao Moreng and the others seriously.

"Fourth brother, sixth brother, you must work hard. My father said that to many people, we are just like fat meat and will attract hungry wolves."

"If we are not capable enough, we will not be able to keep our family property, and we will be eaten by hungry wolves, even the skin and flesh." He said, pointing to other children in the field.

"When the time comes, I will have no choice but to be like them, helping others farm and picking up the fallen ears of grain."

Chu Lang on the field ridge: "..."

How did Xiao Yeyang teach Dao Zi? Is it okay to say this to such a young baby?

However, it’s hard for Dao Zi to remember it, and he taught several of his grandsons such a vivid lesson.

Xiao Moreng and Xiao Mokuan were a little older and already sensible. When they heard Daozi's words, they were thoughtful, while Xiao Moqing, Xiao Mobao, and Xiao Mexu disagreed.

At first, the little guys were quite interested, and with the encouragement of the children from the tenant farmers, they also picked up some ears of grain and put them all into the bag in Dongli's hand, which was only half a bag.

However, after picking it up for half an hour, after the interest wore off, Xiao Mobao sat down on the ground and refused to move.

After a while, Xiao Moxu stopped working.

Dao Zi and Xiao Moqing, on the other hand, went to catch sparrows with the tenant children.

In this way, only the oldest Xiao Mozhen and Xiao Mokuan were left in the field, still accepting their fate and continuing to pick the ears of grain.

As the older brothers, they cannot run away and play like the younger brothers. Grandpa Chu and the Dongli guards are watching on the field ridge.

In the open field, a group of sparrows flew around, looking for grains left in the ground.

Everywhere a sparrow lands, children will pounce on it.

"Bang!"

When he saw a sparrow flying onto the haystack, Daazi jumped up without thinking.

The haystack was not big, so the rice was pressed against it and it collapsed. Fortunately, the sparrow was caught by him.

"Fourth brother, look, I've caught a sparrow!"

Daazi held the sparrow tightly with both hands and ran excitedly towards Xiao Mo Reng. When he arrived, he said excitedly: "We can eat roasted sparrow later."

Seeing a lot of straw stuck on the rice's head, Xiao Moreng cleaned the rice, and then praised with a smile: "The rice is really amazing."

Daazi was so proud that he grabbed the sparrow and ran to Chu Lang: "Grandpa Chu, look, the sparrow I caught, they said the roasted sparrow is delicious."

Chu Lang smiled and took the sparrow from Daizi's hand: "Grandpa asked someone to roast this sparrow. You go ahead and pick the ears of grain."

The smile on Daozi's face fell, and he tugged at the hem of his clothes with both hands.

He doesn't want to pick rice ears anymore. He wants to play, catch sparrows, and climb trees. Brother Qi has already climbed trees to pick fruits with the tenant's children, and he wants to go too.

Chu Lang saw through the little guy's mind at a glance and said with a smile: "Do you still remember what you promised your mother before going out?"

Daozi was silent and muttered: "Brother Seven has gone to play."

Chu Lang: "He is the son of the eldest prince, and it is not easy for your mother to control him. But you are your mother's son. Since you promised your mother to pick up the food wasted yesterday, you must keep your word."
p>

"You don't want to disappoint your mother when you go back in the afternoon, right?"

Dao Zi pouted and looked at Chu Lang: "Grandpa Chu, but I'm tired."

Chu Lang couldn't tolerate him, so he continued with a smile: "Your mother said, if you can't finish picking up today, the amusement park will be closed for a while after you go back."

The rice head drooped, turned around silently, and weakly returned to the field to continue gleaning ears.

Seeing that Xiao Moqing failed to ask for love, Xiao Mozhen and Xiao Mokuan were completely disappointed and could only continue to pick up ears of rice. Xiao Moqing, on the other hand, saw that no one called him, so he continued to climb trees and catch birds with other children.

For Xiao Mozhen and others who had never worked before, it was not easy to pick up two bags of grain. In the afternoon, Chu Lang saw that several children were tired and asked them to go to the fields that had just been harvested today.

Go pick it up.

When he came in the morning, he greeted the village head and asked them not to harvest the grain too cleanly today.

The task of collecting two bags of grain ears must be completed by the children, and their enthusiasm cannot be dampened.

......

Xiao Yeyang knew that his son and several nephews were going to Zhuangzi for labor reform today, so he took a few officials out of the city to inspect the autumn harvest conditions everywhere.

As evening approached, Xiao Yeyang and his party came to Zhuangzi. They came here not only to see their son's achievements, but also to pick up the children.

An, people from the Du family also came. When they saw the dirty emperors and grandchildren in the fields, bending over to pick ears of grain, they felt very distressed.

They knew that the emperor's grandsons came to Zhuangzi today to punish them for knocking over the mooncakes yesterday. They thought that Princess Xiao was just showing off, but they didn't expect that she actually made the emperor's grandsons work in the fields!

However, they couldn't say anything. They agreed with the emperor's grandson coming to Zhuangzi, and Xiao Moxi was also picking up grains in the fields. King Weiyuan didn't feel sorry for his son. What could they say?

"Dad!"

When Dao Zi saw Xiao Yeyang coming, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, then he opened his arms and ran towards Xiao Yeyang.

However, when he stepped up to the field ridge, he tripped and fell to the ground. The ears of grain in the small bag hanging around his neck suddenly spilled all over the ground.

Just when everyone thought that King Weiyuan was going to step forward to comfort Dao Zi, they discovered that Xiao Yeyang just said calmly: "If you fall, stand up." It looked like it was no big deal.

Not only did Xiao Yeyang not move, but Chu Lang and others also didn't step forward.

Dao Zi sat on the ground, smiled, and was not embarrassed. He clapped his hands and then stood up as if nothing happened.

Xiao Yeyang tapped the ears of grain on the ground with his chin. The rice immediately said "oh", and then he squatted down and picked up the ears of grain bit by bit.

"Dad, there are too many ears of grain. Come and help me."

At this time, Xiao Yeyang walked over, squatted down and picked up the ears of grain with his son, and asked while picking up: "You know that food is hard to come by, right?"

Daazi wrinkled his face and nodded with a sigh: "Dad, food is so rare. The ears of grain I picked up today, Grandpa Chu said, are only enough to make ten moon cakes. I will never go to the kitchen to cause trouble again."<

/p>

Xiao Yeyang rubbed his son's head: "One porridge and one meal, remember that it is hard-earned. It is shameful to waste food."

Daozi nodded seriously: "Dad, I understand."
