A few minutes later, Chu Yiling looked at the small rice ears in her hand and began to doubt her life, because the rice ears in her hand were not even as long as her fingers. If she continued to pick them up at this efficiency, how long would it take her to pick up a pound of rice ears?

However, when she saw the three brothers of the Chu family who were so excited about picking rice ears, she knew that it might not be a problem with the rice ears, but her lack of skills.

But fortunately, it was her first time picking rice ears today, so it was normal even if she picked up less.

So she no longer picked rice ears as seriously as before, but followed the three brothers of the Chu family leisurely to pick up the rice that they had slipped through the net.

Although she picked up very few rice ears, she didn't care, because she came to pick rice ears not for the sake of these small profits, but to show her family's attitude.

She estimated that the villagers would be very satisfied to see their family's labor efficiency, because the principle of "more work, more pay" was implemented during the autumn harvest.

The less they work, the more others will earn. How can they not be satisfied?

"Lingling, why did it take you so long to pick up just a few ears of rice?" Chu Dahu turned around and saw Chu Yiling holding five small ears of rice in her hand, so he asked Chu Yiling.

After hearing what Chu Dahu said, Chu Dajiang and Chu Dahe turned around and looked at the rice ears in Chu Yiling's hand. Suddenly, they didn't know what to say.

But when they thought that it was Chu Yiling's first time to pick up rice ears today, it didn't matter if she picked up less. At most, they would share some with her later.

Thinking of this, they casually comforted Chu Yiling with a few words and then joined the army picking rice ears.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Chu Yiling wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief again. She walked to Chu Dajiang and asked, "Brother Dajiang, when can we go home?"

"We can go back after we finish picking up the rice ears on this field."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"I don't know, but it will be soon. If you are tired, sit on the ridge for a while."

"No, I'll pick up the rice ears with you, so we can go faster."

When Chu Dajiang heard Chu Yiling's words, he subconsciously glanced at the dozen or so small rice ears in Chu Yiling's hand, but he didn't say anything because he was afraid of being a blow to this sister whom he had only known for less than a day.

"Shh~shh~shh~."

"Why are there whistling sounds?" Chu Yiling suddenly heard three whistles and couldn't help but ask.

"This is not a whistle, it's a signal to get off work. As long as you hear this sound, you know it's time to get off work and go home for dinner."

Chu Yiling was delighted when she heard Chu Dajiang's words, and she said to Chu Dajiang: "Then let's go to the cooking place."

"it is good."

When Chu Yiling and the three brothers of the Chu family arrived at the cooking place, they saw a long line in the large open space. It seemed that they were still late.

But they didn't care, because someone in their family was responsible for cooking, so they would definitely not be left out. At most, they would just eat later than others.

Thinking of this, they all stopped queuing and instead found a shady place to sit and watch everyone line up for their meals.

"Lingling, do you want to go with us to touch bird eggs after work this afternoon?" Chu Dahu asked Chu Yiling when he thought about their plan to touch bird eggs after work this afternoon.

"Is it too late?"

"No, it's still light at six."

"Then I'll go with you, but I've never touched bird eggs before, so I probably can't help you much."

"It's okay, we can do it."
