Zhang Wuliang took Chen Xiaonian back to the room. Chen Xiaonian took off his coat and shoes and sat on the bed, looking at Zhang Wuliang.

Zhang Wuliang also sat on the side of the bed: "Lie down quickly, I'll watch you here."

Chen Xiaonian shook his head: "You stay with me..."

"Okay, you cover yourself with the quilt first, I'll go wash my hands and face and come back." Zhang Wuliang helped Chen Xiaonian lie down, quickly tidied himself up and got on the bed.

Chen Xiaonian held his eyelids, and waited for Zhang Wuliang to get on the bed before leaning into his arms and sleeping peacefully.

Zhang Wuliang accompanied Chen Xiaonian to sleep. After waking up, Chen Xiaonian was still asleep. Zhang Wuliang quietly got up and tucked in the quilt for Chen Xiaonian before walking out of the room.

As soon as he went out, he saw Chutou sweeping the yard. Zhang Wuliang didn't want to disturb Chen Xiaonian's rest loudly, so he quietly called Chutou to take the hoe and backpack to the field to collect peanuts.

When he was busy before, he asked his uncle to help him look after the fields. He originally thought that he could help weed the fields and release water in the fields. But he treated his fields like his own. He harvested what he should harvest and planted what he should plant. The fields were full of peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. When Zhang Wuliang was done with his work, he could just take over easily when he came back.

Now that every family has started the busy farming season, Zhang Wuliang "fooled" Zhang Zhenzong and Zhang Zhenwen from Zhang Dabo's family to sell tofu and raise ducks. This year's autumn harvest, his family may have to hire temporary workers.

I just don't know if he can hire them during the busy farming season. Zhang Wuliang is walking in front with a hoe on his shoulder. When his family is done, he can bring the hoe to help. Now he has a helper.

Once he gets to the fields with the hoe, he works hard. He works very fast, faster than Zhang Daniu, and Zhang Wuliang can't compare with him.

He worked without a break for more than an hour without slowing down. Zhang Wuliang couldn't stand it anymore, so he sat on the ridge and called him to come over to rest for a while: "Take a break, drink some water."

Chutou put down his hoe and came over, sitting next to Zhang Wuliang in silence. He took the tea bowl in front of him with both hands, lowered his head and drank the water, and held the bowl in front of Zhang Wuliang.

Zhang Wuliang added a bowl of water, Chutou pursed his lips, and took it back to drink.

Pour more, pour more, pour more, pour more...

After several rounds, Zhang Wuliang saw that he was about to vomit, but he was still holding the bowl: "More?" There was a bit of disbelief in his words.

Seeing that he was still preparing to pour more, Chutou shook his head quickly.

"Okay then," Zhang Wuliang put down the pitcher, and saw that he was still holding the bowl: "Put it down if you don't want to drink it, why are you still holding it?"

Houtou held the bowl, found a stable place, and put the bowl down seriously.

Those who didn't know would think he was displaying some treasures, Zhang Wuliang turned his head silently.

After a rest, he continued to work. Zhang Wuliang originally planned to do the work in two days, but he finished it in one day. When he returned home with the last load of potatoes, there was no smoke rising from the village.

Looking at the potatoes filling the cellar, Zhang Wuliang felt a little hungry...

He approached Chen Xiaonian and asked for a bite of lotus cake, then sat next to him and waited for dinner.
