Chapter 123: The Long Winter, the Tiger in the Plain
The Su family members were also all at the edge of the fields.
Even the little kids came running.
Looking at the golden rice fields in front of me, I was overjoyed.
No one wants to cry when it’s something that should be a happy thing, but they can’t help it.
It is difficult, very difficult to farm well in the land of exile.
Old Man Su leaned over, brushing the rice in front of him with his rough hands. He turned his head and smiled at his wife, "Old woman, the millet we planted is ready to be harvested."
Old Lady Su also smiled and nodded, then nodded again, "Oh, it can be collected, it can be collected..."
Su Er couldn't stand this scene any longer. He slapped his thigh hard and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Get to work! We need to harvest the millet quickly. If we harvest it too late, who knows what bad ideas those people out there will come up with. If they destroy the crops we worked so hard to grow, we'll be crying our eyes out!"
"Yes, hurry up and collect! Women, go home and get your sickles and baskets!"
"I guess those people over there must have been eyeing our rice fields. This time, I'm going to piss them off! The millet we grow doesn't require rent or taxes; it's all ours!"
"Our own, our own! Hahahahaha!"
The previously depressing atmosphere was swept away by the following few words, and the atmosphere of joy began to rise to an unprecedented high.
The women and servants who were wiping their tears with excitement at the edge of the fields now had their mouths grinning from ear to ear.
No need to pay rent, no need to pay taxes, and everything you grow is yours. This kind of good thing was impossible even before exile.
This is probably the only reward for these suffering people from the land of exile.
In the next few days, the people in Tubei Village were extremely happy and busy.
The men were harvesting rice in the fields, while the women were threshing grain at home.
The thrashed grains are dried and stored.
The villagers' feelings were indescribable as they watched the place where grain was stored in their homes grow from nothing to being full.
This is the harvest.
It was achieved through the concerted efforts of the whole family, through sweat and hard work.
It is their achievement and their hope.
After the busy farming season, smoke rises from every household again. In addition to the smell of fireworks, the air is also filled with the aroma of rice.
A mouthful of rice went into the mouth and throat. The sweetness of the rice mixed with the bitter taste of tears was the first taste of rice that the villagers of Tubei Village had tasted after many years.
Even after many years, our family never lacked rice, and the taste of it was unforgettable.
The Su family was naturally filled with laughter and joy.
There was so much rice harvested from the family's twenty acres of paddy fields that there was no place to store it, so it was piled up in the courtyards of Du Lao and the Huo family.
When Su Da and Su Er knocked on Changdong's door carrying two bags of millet, Changdong was still lying in bed unable to move.
The person outside knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered, so he pushed the door open and walked in.
Su and the other man arrived before the sound, shouting as they walked, "Changdong, are you still lying there? Is it really that serious? It's just two days of cutting rice. A grown man is so weak, it's because he hasn't done enough work! Next time you're at home, I'll come over and catch you so we can practice more!"
Changdong didn't want to talk.
Lying on the bed in the room, looking at the gray thatch above his head, his eyes were dull.
"Changdong, Changdong! Are you really tired?" An annoying noise was heard outside along with approaching footsteps. In a moment, Su Da and Su Er's heads appeared in Changdong's sight.
"Hahaha! He's paralyzed and can't move. Ouch!" Looking at the person lying on the bed with a pale face, Su Er laughed without hesitation.
Su Da also bent over. "It's normal, it's okay. When Lao Er and I first started working, we were just like you. We were so tired every day that we couldn't straighten our backs. Later, we worked more and got used to it, and our back bones healed quickly... Phew, Changdong, listen to us. You really need to practice more. We'll plow the fields in a few days, and I'll call you over then!"
Chang Dong remained motionless, his eyes squinting coldly, and he opened his lips to utter a weak word, "Get lost."
This caused the two brothers to laugh even louder.
The slightest movement of his body felt like all the bones were broken. Changdong closed his eyes and endured it.
He looked at Bai Xiaofeng, the owner of Que Tower, who was handsome, elegant and romantic, and had never spoken vulgarly before.
Anyone who makes him angry will be killed immediately.
Now it has turned into a long winter, and the tiger is trapped in the plain!
Just hold your breath and don’t bother with the dog!
Keep the account in mind first and settle it another day!
The laughter still did not stop, and the man who was laughing so hard that he could not stand up straight came to the bed and reached out to help him up.
Chang Dong closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, then softly slapped their hands away, "Get lost, damn it."
They both fell down laughing.
"Okay, don't lie down. Xiu'er has prepared the meal over there. I'll help you over there to eat. No matter how tired you are, you have to fill your stomach, right?"
"We'll carry you over there, okay? You don't have to move. We'll both serve you today!"
"Boss, you hold his armpits, I'll hold his legs. Come on, one, two, three! Let's go!"
Chang Dong struggled in vain, his features distorted with anger. "Get your grandma! Get out! Let go! When I can move again, you two are done!"
The grudge is getting bigger and bigger, and it has become a knot that cannot be untied in this lifetime.
There is no reconciliation, we are irreconcilable!
Fuck him, he's an idiot! Why would he go to help the Su family cut the wheat?
Why would the hand that plucked the strings reach for the sickle?!
And Changxi, being as cowardly as a mouse is also a sin! He should have been sent to the west long ago!
The Su family's kitchen was already full of people. In addition to Du Lao and Duan Dao, the Huo couple were also invited over.
To celebrate the harvest, the Su family specially cooked a large pot of white rice, and the dishes were much more sumptuous than usual.
Changdong was carried in by two men. Everyone inside was stunned for a moment, and then turned their heads away, some covering their mouths, some trying to hold back their laughter, and some blushing.
Changdong also turned his head away, too lazy to look at those faces.
He has let it go.
No problem.
It's Changdong who is embarrassed.
What does Bai Xiaofeng have to do with it?
After he sat down, a bowl full of rice was placed in front of him.
The little kid sitting across from him tilted his head and looked at him with his dark eyes, "Uncle Changdong, are you tired?"
Chang Dong looked at his nose and his heart, "Tired."
"Hand hurts?"
"pain."
"Shall I feed you?"
“…”
The people next to him couldn't help it and burst into laughter, which reached the rooftop.
The news of the bumper harvest in Tubei Village had spread, and the entire outer city of the Exile Land was in an uproar.
Ever since the vegetable garden began to open up on Tubei Mountain, it has attracted countless people's attention.
Later, the Su family took the lead in leading the crowd to open up rice fields in Qinghe Bay, and more people came to watch.
Watching, waiting, anticipating... countless people are eagerly awaiting the day of harvest.
When they saw that the people of Tubei Village had actually stored the grain they had grown into the granary, and there was still no movement at Wharf 12, the inner and outer cities, which had been dormant for a winter, finally exploded.
People from every corner of the exile area packed up their bags and bedding overnight and rushed to Tubei Village.
The powerful dare not bully, you can farm and be self-sufficient! Who wouldn't want to go to Tubei Mountain!
