Fu Hong is talking to Fu Yu outside the door

"Brother, do you still need to fetch water in the afternoon?"

"Don't be picky. I have other work to do in the afternoon." Fu Yu looked at him and said.

The work of fetching water in the village is usually done by young and middle-aged men, and they usually work half a day, and then change to other workstations for the other half of the day. After all, if you fetch water for a whole day, you will definitely not be able to get up the next day.

Fu Hong had just woken up and was still a little tired. He followed him into the small warehouse and picked up a pair of work gloves and put them on.

Fu Yu turned to look at him and asked, "Why, you want to go to work too?"

He nodded and continued to follow.

At this time, Fu Weibo and his wife came out of the house and saw the two brothers in front of them and said, "You two, why are you leaving so early? If I don't go, who will assign you work?"

The two men who were almost at the door stopped.

The couple was sitting under the eaves and changing their shoes. Fu Xiao walked over and took out two pairs of gloves from the warehouse and handed them over. "Aunt, what are you going to do this afternoon? Can I go with you?"

The two took the gloves and said in unison: "No,"

Li Xiufen rubbed her head with her hand and said gently: "Xiaoxiao, we are going to the wasteland this afternoon. It's quite far away. You can't go. Just stay at home with grandpa obediently."

Fu Weibo also echoed: "Xiaoxiao's cooking is delicious, help us cook at home."

"Oh, then I'll get you some water..." He quickly took the kettle and walked towards the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen, in a corner where no one could see, he filled two kettles with boiled water from the space and added a lot of spiritual spring water.

After finishing it, he went out and handed it to two people, waving goodbye to them.

Grandpa Fu on the recliner had disappeared a long time ago. After everyone left, the house was empty except for Fu Xiao.

Close the door.

She took the dirty clothes in the basin by the well into the space and prepared to wash them in the washing machine.

I also swept the front and back yards with a broom.

After looking at the neat and clean yard, I returned to the house, entered the space, put the dirty clothes into the washing machine, set the time, took out the textbooks from the study, left the space, lay on Grandpa Fu's recliner, basking in the sun while reading.

Dashan Village Wasteland

After the team leader distributed the tasks, people from each group took shovels and other tools and started working.

There is a large piece of wasteland between the foot of the mountain and the river. As long as there is no work in the fields, the village cadres will organize people to come and reclaim the land. After all, in this era, land is the life of the people.

The land here is very hard, so strong male laborers are responsible for doing the heavy work with tools, while female villagers are responsible for picking up stones or other debris dug out by the men.

Li Xiufen was in a group with her two sons. She told them, "Be careful when you work, don't hurt yourself. If you are too tired, take a break. If you can't finish the goal today, we can continue tomorrow. The family doesn't rely on you two to earn work points."

Fu Hong patted his chest and said, "Mom, don't worry, your son is very strong, and we will definitely be the first to finish."

He picked up a shovel and started working enthusiastically. Fu Yu was beside him, holding a shovel and working quickly. After a while, he had made a hole in the ground, and the black soil was exposed on the surface of the turned over land. Once a large area was fully developed, they could start sowing at the appropriate time.

Li Xiufen was at the back, picking up small stones. Stones in the fields would affect the harvest, so they had to put the stones in a backpack and dump them into the river on the other side or up the mountain.

Soon, the stones filled the basket and she was about to carry the basket and walk to the river.

Fu Yu threw down the shovel and walked over to take the backpack. "Mom, just put it aside after you pick it up. I'll carry it. The road by the river is not easy to walk on."

Li Xiufen frowned and looked at her eldest son's back: "Big brother, be careful."

She looked at the two sons in front of her who were turning the land faster than the other groups, and nodded secretly in her heart, thinking that my children are really capable.

She stood up and walked to the side to rest.

The people around couldn't help but feel sad when they saw this scene.

It's good to have many sons. Aunt Xiufen deserves to enjoy a peaceful life because of her three sons, two of whom are excellent laborers.

Other people's sons would not go to the fields to work once they went to school, or they would forget their mothers after getting married. But the team leader's children were different. As long as they went to school, they would go out to work when they were on vacation at home. There were no exceptions. Even a child as young as the third child knew how to cut grass for pigs and earn work points. Although the eldest and second children had not married yet, it could be seen from now on that they were not the kind of unfilial people.

Many women in the village were so envious that their eyes turned red.

When Wang Xiu'gu saw Fu Yu taking the backpack from his mother, she felt very upset. They were both sons, but the difference was so huge. Other people's sons were afraid that their mothers would be tired, but hers was different. He stayed at home to take care of his pregnant wife and didn't help with the work in the fields. She was exhausted after working all day, and still had to go home to serve them meals.

Why...

I am so unlucky to have such an unfilial son.

I don’t know what she was thinking about, but her eyes became red. She looked up and saw that the people in her group had surpassed her by a long way. She quickly put away her thoughts, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and lowered her head to work.

Li Xiufen rested for a while and saw Fu Yu coming back with a backpack. She stepped forward to take the basket and prepared to continue working.

She couldn't hold her son back too much, so she had to finish her work early and go back to rest early.

Fu Xiao read a book in the sun for an hour. His face turned red from the sun, so he picked up the book and went back into the house.

I took out the washed clothes from the space and hung them on the clothesline in the backyard, and gave some water to the wilted chickens. After returning to the house, I entered the space again and made myself a glass of juice.
