"Oh...oh..." A rooster crowed, and the creaking of doors sounded. The early risers opened their doors.

The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the sky was bright. The early risers carried hoes and crooked knives on their shoulders and went to the fields. They were so happy that they couldn't sleep last night, so they went to the fields to harvest crops early this morning.

The green grass was still covered with crystal dewdrops, which dripped down the tips of the leaves and fell into the soil, making it wet. The birds in the woods were chirping and flapping their little wings to fly.

When the morning sun rises in the east, the golden sunlight shines on the earth, shining on the golden fruits, which is very pleasant. The old farmer has a happy smile on his face.

The fields are full of busy figures. The young men have finished their work and come home to help harvest crops. Even the children who go to the academy have finished school. The teacher asked the students to go home to help the family harvest crops. One by one, the little figures appeared in the fields to work.

As a grandmother, I feel sorry for my good grandson. He went to school and didn’t stay at home to read books. He insisted on coming to the fields to help work, and said that it was the teacher’s order. How did the teacher teach his children! Seeing the child following his grandfather with a machete, the old grandmother yelled, "Hey, good grandson, good grandson, go slower."

"Don't yell nonsense. Good boy, just like your grandfather, when I was younger than you, I went to the fields to help your great-grandfather work. Good grandson, follow your grandfather and work hard." The old man turned around and scolded his wife, and then looked at his grandson with a smile.

"..." Old grandmother.

"Grandpa, is it like this?" The boy looked at his grandmother and asked his grandfather.

"Haha... That's right, that's it, grab this end and push hard, watch grandpa." The old man held a machete in his hand, and the machete flew under his fingertips, cutting off handfuls of rice ears.

The boy followed behind his grandfather, clumsily imitating his grandfather's harvesting, with a happy smile on his face.

After getting up early and making breakfast, Cao Xiangnan also prepared to take a few children to the fields to help with the work. He said to the people who stayed at home, "Wanfeng, I'm taking a few children to the fields. The sun will be strong soon, so you stay at home with Lele and Xiaobaoer and don't go out."

There are not many fields at home. He bought a lot of land, which he used for other things. The few acres of land he planted were all given to him when the family was divided. He used the dry land to plant peppers, and only one acre of prime land to plant a little grain. He originally didn't plan to plant even this little grain, and he didn't have time to take care of it. He had previously asked someone to help take care of it, and later gave it to Liu Guizhong to take care of it. Now it can be harvested.

"Well, I know, you go, it's sunny here, you should drink more water, and remember to let An An and the others drink more water." Qi Wanfeng didn't object to her husband taking the children to the fields. Lele and Xiaobao were still young, and it was not suitable for him to take care of the two children, so he could only stay at home.

The Liu family also went to help. Liu was not fit for heavy work, so she stayed at home to help with the housework. There was no need for so many people to clean up the two plots of land. The Liu family was grateful for the kindness of the host family, and they worked very hard.

Cao Gang's family did not have many fields. One plot of land was used to grow crops, and the rest was used to grow other things.

At this time, Cao Gang brought his two little ones over. The children wore straw hats and played together as soon as they met, laughing and joking.

Sun Bailian also stayed with them. Now that he was pregnant, it was inconvenient for him to go out in the sun, so he had to stay at home. At this time, he came with Qi Wanfeng.

Cao Yikang, a child, told his mother to take good care of his younger brother, which made Sun Bailian laugh and cry, and everyone else laughed.

"Let's go." With a command, Cao Xiangnan led a group of children to set off, followed by the adults.

Seeing that everyone had left, the little Baoer in his arms babbled and seemed to want to follow them out. Qi Wanfeng coaxed the little Baoer, and seeing that the little Baoer was holding his mouth and tears appeared in his eyes, he couldn't bear it and quickly compromised, "Okay, okay, let's go to the yard to play."

In the end, Qi Wanfeng compromised and carried the little Baoer to walk in the yard.

Cao Ruile, who was left behind, looked at the roof and felt that he was the one who was fostered, and the little Baoer was his father and mother's biological child.

The little white fox that jumped down from the beam squatted beside the little master, lowered his head, and his narrow and long fox eyes met a pair of dark eyes. The man and the fox looked at each other, and the chubby little Cao Ruile covered his mouth with his hand and yawned. He ignored the little white fox beside him and closed his eyes to sleep. It's

nice to have no one to disturb me. I can sleep peacefully.

"..." Little white fox.

The sun in the east had just risen. When they went to the fields, everyone was busy in the fields. Some families had harvested more than half of the acres of grain if they were fast. They were the last to arrive.

Now, when Cao Xiangnan walked in the village, everyone knew him. They would greet him warmly when they saw him, and he responded to everyone's greetings along the way.

When they saw Cao Dongjia coming to the field to harvest crops, everyone said they would go over to help. Cao Xiangnan hurriedly shook his hands and said, "No, no, I don't have much land there, you guys take care of your own business, we can harvest it ourselves."

The family's small fields can be handed over to others to do, and he doesn't need to bring the children to the fields to harvest crops. Cao Xiangnan wanted the children in the family to experience the suffering of the people and understand how hard it is to get food.

Among the children in the family, Xiangzi is a little older. When his father and mother passed away, he was sensible and experienced many things. An An and Xing Xing are still young and don’t understand many things. They must have never worked in the fields before, so they can learn.

When a person is rich, he should not forget the poor. He can live comfortably even when he is poor.

“Father, elder brother.” The land next door is on the other side of the compound. Cao Xiangnan saw his father, elder brother, and his second brother Wang Yan, but he didn’t see his second brother and grandmother. He didn’t know where the two Cao brothers went after they left the construction site.

This time, Cao Xiangnan was wrong. The second Cao brother retreated into the house and didn’t come out at all.

"Well, come and harvest the crops. I was just thinking that if you didn't come, I would help you harvest the crops." When Cao's father saw his son Silang, he turned to his eldest son who was following him and said, "Big brother, go and help the fourth son harvest the crops later."

"No, no, we have enough people here. Dad and big brother, you guys can harvest your crops. We can do our own work here." Cao Xiangnan nodded to his eldest brother and called him "big brother". He appreciated his father's kindness. They had enough people here, so there was no need for people from the compound to help him.

"Fourth uncle, why did you bring An An to harvest crops? The sun is so strong here. We can help you harvest the crops here later." Chen Li pretended to be a good person. She completely ignored the other two children who were not her fourth uncle's biological children, but smiled amiably to An An.

Although they were from separate families, they had to come to help his father harvest crops when it was time to harvest crops.

Little did he know that it was this behavior of his that disgusted Cao Xiangnan the most. He responded emptily to his eldest brother and ignored him. Wang Yan glanced at him but didn't speak to him, so Cao Xiangnan didn't say hello to his second brother.

When the children from the eldest family saw their fourth uncle, they all called him "fourth uncle". The children from the second family also followed suit. Cao Xiangnan responded to the children and told his father that he would go to work there.

Many children came to the fields that day. No matter whether they were poor or rich, there were always families who spoiled their children and were reluctant to let them work in the fields. Now the children themselves asked to work in the fields, and once they said it was the teacher's order, the adults in the family had nothing to object to.

At first, these children were able to help with the work honestly. While working, three or five acquaintances would meet each other. When they saw a worm here or a grasshopper there, they would go to play in the blink of an eye. The

adults behind them were amused by the children playing together and bent over with laughter. The adults did not expect these children to help with much work.

The brothers who worked together on weekdays chatted while working in the fields. They chatted and worked at the same time.

In one morning, the grain in the fields was harvested, and a lot of crops were left.

When the sun was high in the sky, it was already noon. At this time, many people had already prepared lunch at home. On the days of harvest, people had to eat a full stomach to have the strength to work.

Some families cooked meals at home and sent them to the fields for the workers to eat. The shouts could be heard from far away. People in the fields put down their knives one after another, got up and went to the shade of the trees to eat lunch.

When Cao Xiangnan came, he asked Wanfeng not to bring lunch, and he would take the children home to eat.

The sun was very hot today. After working this morning, Cao Xiangnan felt very sore in his waist and back. Several children did a little work at the beginning, and then ran out to play. It was getting late now, and he knew that the children must be hungry, so they also had to go home to eat.

"Come on, wipe your sweat off. We're going home for dinner." Cao Xiangnan grabbed An'an, whose face was red from running, and wiped the child's face with the rough cloth. He said to Cao Gang, "Come to my place together. I've prepared your meal."

Cao Gang nodded, knowing.

"Dad..." It hurts! An'an's face, which was red from the sun, became even redder after being ravaged by his father so roughly. His little face accused his father of being gentler.

Didn't Cao Xiangnan know what kind of person his little brother was? He gave little An'an a look that said "keep pretending", even though he had been very gentle.

Little An'an glanced at his father and felt that his father didn't love him anymore.

Xiangzi wiped the sweat off his brother before wiping his own. The boy had grown taller this year and was a full head taller than his brother. Cao Ruixing looked at his brother with the same dark eyes as his brother. His eyes were bright and his mouth was almost grinning to his ears.

Cao Gang touched Kang Kang's head. Kang Kang pursed his lips and looked unhappy. He held his brother in his hand to prevent him from running away again. He had just chased his father across half the field.

The tools in the field were left there, and they didn't worry about anyone stealing them, so they went back.

When they got back, lunch was already prepared at home.

"I was wondering why you didn't come back, and whether I should send you food." Qi Wanfeng had just coaxed Xiaobao to sleep. Seeing the sun rising higher outside, he was wondering when his husband would come back. Seeing his husband coming back with the children, he said with a smile.

"You've been busy a little late. Aren't you back? Where do you need to run again?" Cao Xiangnan walked towards the people who were waiting for him to come back. Everyone was here. The two looked at each other, and they couldn't do anything too intimate.

"Hurry up and eat. You must be hungry." Qi Wanfeng said, looking away embarrassedly.

Cao Xiangnan, who was following behind, touched his nose, lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up, showing his happy mood.
