It is said that the mother-in-law looks more and more pleased with her son-in-law. But the father-in-law
:.,
Zhou Peng stood in the ground and used a hoe to break up the larger lumps of soil. After he felt that the whole body was about the same size, he moved the hoe again and went to work in another area. In front of him, he was holding a hand.
Zhou Xiaohe plows and drives cattle.
You can tell just by looking at Zhou Peng's face. If Liu Chang hadn't been the prince, Zhou Peng would have hit him with a hoe. 1. The prince runs into the fields every day and pretends to emulate Liu Cong's reputation. It's nonsense.
!Is this what you are here for? May I know your little thoughts?
It's not that Zhou Peng is disrespectful to the prince. When entering a noble family, he is as deep as the sea. He understands this even if he doesn't study. Zhou Peng, a small family member, can have such a good life today. Zhou Peng is already very satisfied. Zhou Yuan also has a future.
, he became an official at a young age. Zhou Peng never thought about letting his daughter cling to someone else's high branch. In his opinion, it would be much better for Zhou Xiaohe to find a good husband with good conduct than those who don't.
"Meet Uncle Zhou."
"Um."
Having lived to this age and without even one leg, Zhou Peng has long been indifferent to life and death. At first, he was still concerned about the identities of Liu Chang and others. After these few months of getting along, and Liu Chang's concern for his daughter
With such crooked thoughts, Zhou Peng no longer had the slightest enthusiasm for Liu Chang and the others.
Liu Chang smiled and snatched the hoe from Zhou Peng's hand, "Uncle Zhou, I'll do it. You have a rest."
Liu Yao and Liu Xian quickly assisted Zhou Peng with help. Liu Yaojian smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Zhou, please take a break and let Brother Chang help you."
The two of them said that they were going to help Zhou Peng sit down in a wheelchair not far away.
"I'm talking about 3 people. Although you are still young, you can't fool me like this, an old guy and a disabled person, right?" Zhou Peng finally spoke, and he said angrily to Liu Yao and Liu Xian, "Every time 1 comes,
You two held me back while the prince chased after me all by himself."
"Hey, which country's prince have you seen so diligently do farm work?"
Liu Chang smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Zhou, it's not that your legs and feet are inconvenient. We are thinking of coming to help."
"Help?" Zhou Peng sat down on the wheelchair pushed by Liu Xian, "You guys are not good at hoeing? What can you do?"
"Okay, come on, follow Xiaohe and knock out the big lumps of soil that the cows have plowed."
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, please rest while we go."
Zhou Peng is the only one who can control the prince of a country. Liu Chang followed Zhou Xiaohe with a hoe that was taller than him, "Sister Xiaohe, are you tired?"
How about I help you with the plow?"
"Moo!"
Zhou Xiaohe grabbed the advancing Niu, turned around and looked at Liu Yao and the others in the distance, and finally fixed his gaze on Liu Chang, "Look, you haven't even broken the lumps on your back, why are you following behind me?"
?”
Looking back from where Liu Chang was standing, to where Zhou Peng was just now, the ground was all plowed, but there were indeed many lumps of soil that had not been broken up. Liu Chang was slightly surprised. From the time he could remember, except for
His own mother, no woman dared to use him like this.
"Why are you standing there? Are you working?"
~
"Hey, I got it."
Zhou Xiaohe urged again, and Liu Chang muttered and went back. He seemed to be angry, and he hammered hard on the lumps of soil with a hoe that was taller than himself.
If you work hard like him, it won't take long for you to run out of energy. Sure enough, after only a dozen times, Liu Chang was already out of breath. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Liu Chang couldn't help but murmured, "This farm work
It’s really not something ordinary people can do, it’s more tiring than a teacher teaching you how to practice swordsmanship.”
A few days ago, everyone came here just to pull weeds. Today, the subjects were changed, and Liu Chang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He had lived in fine clothes since he was a child, how could he have suffered this?
"What's wrong? Crown Prince, would you like to call your guards over for you?"
A mocking sound came, and Zhou Xiaohe in front stopped again.
"No, I'm not tired." Are you kidding me? If you help yourself and ask the guards to do it, then all the help will be water.
"Keke" Zhou Xiaohe suddenly laughed out loud.
He put down the plow and walked towards Liu Chang, snatched the hoe from Liu Chang's hand, and demonstrated to Liu Chang personally, "You have to slow down and don't work so hard, otherwise you will be very tired."
Looking at Zhou Xiaohe, who was taller than himself, with the beauty's fragrance filling his nose, Liu Chang was stunned for a moment before he said, "Has Sister Xiaohe been doing this since she was a child?"
"Isn't that right? Only by diversifying the land can the family have enough food. My father said that no matter how rich the Zhou family is, they can't forget their roots. My brother said that the great Chu can be strong not just by your gang of officials in Xiangyang.
Master, we have to rely more on the thousands of people from all over Dachu."
"Think about it, if no one is cultivating the land, where will the country get the tax revenue?"
As he spoke, Zhou Xiaohe walked closer to a big tree, took off the hoe, found a smaller stick, and fixed it on it.
Liu Chang was a little surprised, "Can you still understand these principles?"
Zhou Xiaohe smiled and said, "Don't always look down on women. Without women, where would you officials like you, who are well-read in poetry and high in temples, come from?"
"Here, this length should suit you quite well, use this."
Liu Chang took the hoe, which was still a bit thorny, and looked at the four weeks. He couldn't help but think about what Zhou Xiaohe said just now. The taxes of Chu State came from farmers like Zhou Peng. No wonder his father often warned his brothers.
, the food you eat and the money you eat are all the people's fat and the people's anointing.
Isn't such hard work just a matter of people caring for people? It's just arable land, crops need to be planted, and crops need to be harvested. This happens twice in a year, and there are many things in between. Farmers regard these crops in the world as
Taking care of him as his own son, he went through a lot of hard work in exchange for the delicious meals on his table.
"Sister Xiaohe, go ahead and plow the fields. I'll follow you slowly." With awe of this job, Liu Chang spoke to Zhou Xiaohe with a tone of assurance.
Zhou Xiaohe smiled, ignored Liu Chang and walked towards Lao Niu.
body
From the early morning light, Liu Chang followed Zhou Xiaohe until 3 o'clock in the morning, and then stopped. His still immature body and the habit of being well-dressed and well-fed made Liu Chang feel extremely tired.
"Is it time to go back?"
"Are you tired?" Zhou Xiaohe said to Liu Chang1, "I'm not going back today, I have to wait until the sun sets before going back."
"ah?"
"Ah what? Now that we have started plowing, do you think it will be like weeding the past few days? We have to work until dark every day."
Liu Chang threw down his hoe, followed Zhou Xiaohe to Zhou Peng and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
After working all morning, Liu Chang felt not only tired, but also very hungry. Not to mention him, Liu Yao and Liu Xian, who were playing in the fields in the distance, were both tired and hungry.
Seeing Liu Chang coming, Liu Xian came up to him and said, "Brother Chang, let's go back. I'm already hungry."
