Zhou Jianming rushed over and shouted, "Xiao Nan, you and the baby, don't come over."

As he said that, he quickened his pace and walked over to stop Li Nan and Xiao Hua.

Xiaohua was anxious to go to the field to take a look, but Zhou Jianming hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Xiaohua, don't go over there. That place is not good for you."

Li Nan smiled and said, "Dad, what's the big deal? Aren't you all in the fields?"

Zhou Jianming waved his hands repeatedly: "You and the baby should not go, I will take it to them, you guys go back quickly."

Under Zhou Jianming's persuasion, Li Nan and Xiaohua did not go over. They greeted everyone from a distance and left.

Zhou Jianming came to the field with pancakes, cold noodles and boiled water, and asked everyone to eat quickly.

Zhou Bin hurriedly invited everyone to eat, and everyone stopped what they were doing and went to the field.

A few people put their things on the ground, wiped their faces, and started eating.

Liu Junyi took a bite of the cold noodle and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Oh, Zhou Bin, your wife's cooking skills are great! The skin is thin and smooth, and it tastes very tasty!"

Everyone also praised Li Nan's good craftsmanship. Zhou Bin said proudly: "Of course, my wife is a great person."

Liu Junyi laughed: "Zhou Bin, you are so lucky!"

Li Jun interrupted, "Brother Bin, tell us why your sister-in-law fell in love with you at that time?"

Zhou Bin grinned and said, "With our level, if we go there, she will come naturally." Everyone laughed at his words.

Ah Niu looked unconvinced: "Brother, you are just bragging!"

Zhou Jianming smiled and said, "At the beginning, our family was extremely poor and Binbin was in poor health. If Xiaonan hadn't insisted on being with him, I was afraid that Binbin would not be able to find a wife!"

Zhou Bin immediately retorted: "Dad, who said I can't get married? There are so many girls who want to be with me!"

Everyone looked at Zhou Bin and laughed again, and Zhou Bin himself laughed too.

Zhou Jianming sighed and said, "Alas, Xiaonan broke up with his parents because of you, and dad was foolish and almost gave Xiaohua away. If it weren't for their generosity, they would have fallen out with us a long time ago."

Zhou Bin nodded: "Yes, Xiaonan has suffered a lot since coming to our house. I will treat her well in the future."

Liu Junyi said with deep feeling: "That's right. Such a beautiful girl is willing to be with you, and she is so virtuous. Your family must have done good deeds to get her."

Zhou Jianming's eyes dimmed and he said, "Binbin, I'm sorry for you! I was so careless at that time. How could I be so confused!"

Zhou Bin immediately said, "Dad, it's all in the past, don't talk about it anymore. Our lives are getting better and better now, and everyone's lives will be better in the future."

Zhou Jianming nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I wouldn't even dare to dream about the life I'm living now!"

While eating the delicious pancakes, Liu Junyi said with a smile: "You old man, you've started again, hurry up and eat, eating can't stop your mouth."

A few people stopped talking and started to concentrate on eating.

After dinner, everyone started to get busy again.

After three days of hard work, all the land on the river beach was turned over.

Zhou Bin and everyone else spent another two days planting popcorn in the field, and the work was completed.

According to the wages agreed upon in advance, Zhou Bin paid each person seven dollars and fifty cents, and everyone went home happily.

After finishing work in the fields, Zhou Bin and Li Nan would make popcorn at home every day and collect crabs and shrimps.

During this period, Zhou Bin and Aniu even went to Xiujuan's house to ask if anyone had such popcorn.

Later, they finally found the same corn in several homes in Dongyuan Village. Like Xiujuan's family, they bought the same seeds and grew this kind of corn.

Zhou Bin bought all the corn from these families, totaling about 9,000 kilograms, which could last for about three months.

In a blink of an eye, a month has passed, and it is now mid-June and midsummer has begun.

The scorching sun is scorching the earth, the wheat in the fields has gradually turned yellow, and the wheat harvest season is approaching.

Waves of heat began to fill the air, and all the families in the village were busy preparing sickles, carts, and sledgehammers, planning to rush into the wheat fields to work hard.

As far as Zhou Bin remembers, it was always his father who prepared all of this when he was a child.

This year, he started preparing early.

Especially that intimidating hammer, which he polished to a shiny finish.

Many people have never seen a sickle. It looks like a big basket with a long blade on the outside and a handle and rope at the back.

When harvesting wheat, you put the rope across your shoulders, hold the handle with one hand, and swing it hard to cut down a large area of wheat. The harvested wheat will be neatly placed in a basket, and then placed on the ground to be tied into bundles.

Zhou Bin couldn't do it, as he couldn't lift this big thing at all. His father was old now and probably couldn't handle it either.

Therefore, he suggested to his father that they should simply hire harvesters to harvest the wheat this year instead of having to do it themselves.

When my father heard this, he firmly disagreed. He said anxiously, "Binbin, we have people at home, and I can still do the work. If we hire wheat pickers, they will laugh at us."

Zhou Bin said disapprovingly: "What's so funny about this? We pay them, we don't use them for free, just listen to me."

Zhou Jianming suddenly said with a bit of sadness: "Alas, Dad is really old, so let's hire a wheat picker."

Seeing that his father was a little sad, Zhou Bin immediately said, "Dad, we still need you to harvest the wheat. You have to follow the wheat pickers and help us manage the business."
