When Lu Zhenchuan woke up, he saw his wife sleeping in his arms. He kissed her on the forehead and got up quietly.
Lu Zhenchuan quietly opened the door, then slowly closed it. Turning around, he saw Lin Feng had just closed the door.
Lin Feng took the sickle he was working with and said, "Brother Lu, let's go."
Lu Zhenchuan responded and picked up the water his wife had prepared for him: "Okay."
Not long after Lu Zhenchuan left, Gu Ranzhou slowly opened his eyes. The person sleeping next to him had left, and Gu Ranzhou knew that they had gone to work.
Gu Ranzhou did all the housework in the afternoon. When Lu Zhenchuan and Lin Feng came back, he had already bathed the two children and was cleaning up.
As soon as Lin Feng came back, he sat on the stool, rubbed his tired shoulders, and said, "I'm so tired today."
Lu Zhenchuan sat down. Gu Ranzhou looked at them and just smiled. How could they not be tired from working?
Lin Feng was exhausted after a day's work, but despite being tired, he still had a fulfilling life.
"You'll inevitably feel tired if you do this on the first day, but you'll get used to it after doing it for a while." Lu Zhenchuan said as he poured two bowls of water.
Lu Zhenchuan then asked, "Zhou Zhou, when are we going to eat?"
Gu Ranzhou: "Now, I'll go get the food."
"Wife (Brother Gu), do you need my help?"
Gu Ranzhou shook his head and said, "No need. You guys are tired today. Just sit down. I'll do it myself."
Gu Ranzhou went to the kitchen and Lu Zhenchuan and Lin Feng sat on the chairs and started chatting.
Lin Feng suddenly asked, "Brother Lu, when do you think I can be rehabilitated?"
Lu Zhenchuan: "I don't know."
Then he immediately said, "Why do you feel like you can't stay here anymore?"
Lin Feng sighed, "No, I actually think this kind of life is quite fulfilling. It's better than the decadent life I had in the imperial capital before."
Lin Feng then sighed again: "Speaking of which, I don't know how my dad is doing?" Lin Feng only talked about his dad, but did not talk about his mom. After all, their family has become what it is now, all thanks to his mom. For the sake of fame and fortune, his mom was instigated by someone to secretly write a letter of denunciation and bring down their family. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel resentful. His dad is still in jail, and no one knows when their family will be rehabilitated. How is his dad doing?
Lu Zhenchuan patted Lin Feng's shoulder, but didn't know what to say. After all, this matter was difficult to explain, so he could only pat his shoulder to comfort him.
Two people were talking when two children came out of the room and walked up to them.
"Big Daddy (Uncle), Uncle Lin."
"Um."
The two children had just sat down on the stools when Gu Ranzhou brought out the food.
Gu Ranzhou put the meal on the table and said, "Come, let's eat."
Three people and two children were eating. Maybe because they were tired, no one spoke at the table today. They just ate quietly. The only sound on the table was the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding. It was very quiet.
After everyone finished eating, Gu Ranzhou cleaned up the dishes. Lu Zhenchuan originally wanted to help, but he was later sent to take a shower.
After Gu Ranzhou finished his work and brought the meal back to the cowshed, Lu Zhenchuan had already taken a shower and was enjoying the cool air under a tree.
Lu Zhenchuan stood up immediately when he saw Gu Ranzhou coming back.
"Zhou Zhou, are you back?"
Gu Ranzhou casually handed the basket over and said, "I'll go take a shower first."
Lu Zhenchuan carried the basket and went to the kitchen to put it away.
At that time, there were no mobile phones or computers, but there were televisions. Unfortunately, Gu Ranzhou had not bought one yet. The main reason was that there were no televisions for sale in this small county town. If one wanted to buy one, he had to take a train to the city or province. To buy a television, he also needed a TV ticket and an industrial ticket.
After Gu Ranzhou finished taking a shower, he went straight back to his room.
Lu Zhenchuan lay on the bed and looked at Gu Ranzhou who was drying his hair and said, "Zhou Zhou, isn't it time for you to fulfill what you promised me?"
"Um."
Gu Ranzhou looked outside and saw that it was already dark. He had promised this man that he would take the initiative when he got up this morning.
Lu Zhenchuan looked at his wife's actions, his eyes filled with passion.
Lu Zhenchuan placed his palm on his shoulder and pressed hard.
………!!
Gu Ranzhou hugged Lu Zhenchuan's neck.
A week later, the autumn harvest was gradually coming to an end.
Gu Ren: "Jianqiang, the harvest here is really good this year!"
Gu Jianqiang nodded and looked at the staff who were calculating: "Well, keep up the good work, next year will definitely be better!"
"Of course!"
Gu Jianqiang then added, "Next year we'll work harder to make the crops grow taller. We'll bring people to plant dozens more acres of land!"
"Well, that's for sure. There were fewer people in the village before, so everything was done according to plan. Now a lot of educated youth have come. We'll take everyone with us when the spring plowing season comes next year!"
The staff who came from the town to collect the grain were calculating: "The harvest of the crops in your village this year is indeed not bad, but next year's harvest is hard to say. If there are no accidents, this year's harvest will exceed last year's."
Gu Jianqiang and Gu Ren were of course delighted to hear this. After all, the production volume exceeded that of last year. “Hahaha, that’s great!”
The staff member said to the two of them, "By the way, Village Chief Gu, Secretary Gu, you have previously reported to the organization, and the organization is also aware of your village's situation. Therefore, according to the previous standard, all the grain harvested from your land was 50% of the proceeds, but after submitting the report, we will take 30%."
After hearing this, Gu Jianqiang smiled and said, "That's right, the organization understands our difficulties."
The staff also knew that many educated youth had come this year, and the village definitely didn't have enough food. "Don't be polite. The organization has taken your situation into consideration, so we plan to take 30% of your food."
The two people said: "Thank you for your consideration for us."
The staff nodded, looked at the grain loaded onto the ox cart, and said to the two people, "Then I won't delay you. I'll leave first. I have grain to collect from other villages."
"Okay, take care."
The staff used ox carts to take away the grain that needed to be harvested.
Gu Hu walked up to them and asked, "Dad, Uncle Wu, what should we do next?"
"What can we do? Put all the harvested grain into the granary." Gu Jianqiang answered directly without thinking.
"Dad, I'm going to call my brothers to help carry the food."
Gu Jianqiang nodded: "Go quickly."
Gu Jianqiang and Gu Ren looked at Gu Hu who was running away and smiled at each other: "We can have a good New Year this year."
"yes."
Everything is developing step by step.
After the autumn harvest, the villagers calmed down again.
But at this time, the villagers were very happy to hear about the yield. After all, this year, the amount of grain harvested in the village was much higher than in previous years, so everyone was in a very good mood.
In this calm, Gu Ranzhou thought that everything would remain peaceful, but who knew that even if he didn't look for trouble, trouble would come to him.
