No pain no gain

……

The Wu family has completely separated this time. In fact, the old man Wu has been planning this for a long time. The old man took more than half of his and the old lady's savings and bought more than a hundred acres of land, plus the existing 100 mu of the Wu family. Many acres of land were distributed to the three brothers of the Wu family. According to the intention of the old master Wu, just in case, he took more than ten acres of good dry land and distributed them equally to the eldest sons of the three families. The fool deliberately chose the one closest to the village. Although the five mu of land is a little less than the other two, it is more convenient to grow it by yourself. The Wu family's yard has also been separated according to the wishes of the three brothers. Those who are willing to move out are welcome, but those who want to build a new house The money has to be paid by himself, and Mrs. Wu lived with Mrs. Wu, so he allocated eight acres of land to Mrs. Wu. The other farm tools of the Wu family were also negotiated by the three brothers. This time, Mrs. Wu wisely did not call Going to the fool's mother and third aunt, so the separation of the family went smoothly...

"What about you? Do you want to move out?" Da Zhuang helped the idiot to check the wound, and he was completely relieved after seeing that he had fully recovered. He threw the idiot's clothes to him and asked casually.

"Can I move out too?" The fool asked doubtfully while putting on his clothes.

"Isn't it a family split! Mrs. Wu also gave you a field alone, and now you have more land than our whole family, and I'm afraid you won't be able to support yourself!" Da Zhuang said without much concern.

"Hehe..." The idiot laughed happily, looking at Da Zhuang with bright eyes.

"You can do whatever you want, don't worry about having no place to live, you can live with me for a while, and then build a house when you have money..." Da Zhuang gave advice to the fool while packing his things.

"Yes!" The fool nodded happily.

"Okay, what are you silly, I'll go back with you in a few days and pack up!" Da Zhuang is really afraid of the idiot's temper, and he doesn't know if he will live with his mother and his wife-scared father again. What is going to happen.

The hot summer is over soon, and the busy autumn harvest season is entering again.

This year there is more land for a fool. In addition to the few acres of land left to him by Mrs. Wu before, there is also the five acres of land that was later obtained when the Wu family separated. When the Wu family separated, the fields were all planted with crops. Whoever gets the land, the crops in the field belong to that family. Fortunately, the Wu family's granary is full, and the grain in the granary can be used to complement the crops in the field. How to coordinate the distribution is the business of the three brothers of the Wu family. , this Da Zhuang only heard the idiot mention it, and didn't pay much attention to it. The five acres of the idiot's land are all corn, which should be harvested at the end of August and the beginning of September. Da Zhuang invited the idiot from the mountain last time The little brother Liu who carried it back and the big uncle with this body helped, agreed on a salary of ten cents a day, and together with the help of three people, Da Zhuang, Fool, and Er Zhuang, it took four days of busy work to take back the whole unpeeled corn. At home, all that is left is to peel off the dead leaves outside the whole corn and dry them in the sun, and then peel off all the corn seeds by hand, and then put them in the warehouse after drying...

"Peel these and sell them, and dry the rest and put them away first, and peel them slowly when you eat them later!" Da Zhuang yawned and said slowly.

"En!" The fool forcefully lifted up half a basket of corn kernels and poured them on the straw mat in the middle of the yard to dry, and responded with his mouth.

There was a lot of work in the field for more than a month, and Da Zhuang didn't have time to weave baskets, so he didn't go to town for two months.

When the things in the field are about to be harvested, the lotus roots are almost grown.

Da Zhuang was weaving baskets in the yard that day, and planned to go to the town in two days.

"Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang..." Yang Zhuzi yelled a few times, hesitating to speak.

"What's the matter? Just say something if you have something to say?" Da Zhuang asked with a smile while keeping his hands in his hands.

"Da Zhuang, um, they, Gou'er, they asked me to ask, you, do you still want to ask someone for help?" Yang Zhuzi asked coyly.

Da Zhuang paused for a while, thinking carefully that it would be more cost-effective to invite these half-grown children than to invite adults, he raised his head and said to Yang Zhuzi carefully: "I will ask someone to help dig lotus roots in a few days, you have a look There are a few people who are willing to help, the wages are calculated, and the more they dig, the more they dig, and the three catties of lotus roots cost one penny, but the lotus roots cannot be damaged..."

"Really?" Yang Zhuzi exclaimed happily before he finished listening.

"By the way, the lotus roots dug by each of them have to be washed in the river for help, and then weighed!" Da Zhuang added.

"No problem, I'll tell them right away!" Yang Zhuzi shouted happily.

"Well, the arrangement is the same as last time, at least five people should be able to go every day!" Da Zhuang explained worriedly.

It must be no problem for each of the five children to dig up a lot of lotus root weighing twenty to thirty catties a day, so it is worth a trip to the town.

Yang Zhuzi quickly summoned a dozen children over, except for the few children who helped take care of He Ye last time, there were also a few older ones, and it seemed that they were brothers of those children.

"Well, I will tell Yang Zhuzi first if there is anything at that time. If you have any questions, you can ask him. We will start in two days. If you dig more than three catties every day, you will have to deduct wages..." Da Zhuang After explaining a few words briefly, let the group of children go back first.

"Zhu Zhu, wait a moment!" Da Zhuang shouted to stop the child who was walking at the end.

"Da Zhuang..." Yang Zhuzi turned around and shouted uneasily.

"What's the matter? If you keep five people a day, eight at most will be enough!" Da Zhuang asked with a smile after the group of children left the yard.

"We all know each other, I, I can't tell!" Yang Zhuzi explained in a low voice.

"It won't work like this. Sometimes blindly pretending to be a good person will only make the situation worse. For example, this time you agreed, and my side is barely okay, but next time, what are you going to do..." Da Zhuang deliberated and said a few words to this clever kid.

"Yes, yes." Yang Zhuzi nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, thank you anyway, stay for dinner!" Da Zhuang said with a smile.

"No need, I have to go back and help cut pigweed..." Yang Zhuzi patted the back of his head and replied sheepishly.

"Goodbye then!" Da Zhuang waved his hand and began to skillfully weave the basket again.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, next time we go to the market, shall we go to Brother Zhao Ziyang?" Big Girl moved over and asked.

"Well, this...it depends on the situation!" Da Zhuang looked up at Da Niu'er in surprise, and replied hesitantly.

The big girl walked away with her mouth pursed, muttering something in her mouth.

Da Zhuang looked at the little girl's angry back, smiled and said nothing, but the movements of his hands slowed down unknowingly...
