Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 165 The Highest Autumn Harvest in History

The rooster crowed twice, and just after dawn, the villagers in Jinqiaokan had breakfast and rushed to their paddy fields with farm tools on their shoulders.

It is not easy for ordinary people to serve a crop of crops, and it is only called grain when it is received in the warehouse.An autumn rain can discount the harvest, so we must hurry up to harvest and thresh.

Zhu's father and son are no exception.After several months of hard work, it finally came to the harvest time. Zhu Yu was so excited that he didn't close his eyes all night. He got up and dipped in the moonlight after the first cock crowing, sharpening the sickle to a bright spot.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are also used to getting up early.And to be honest, last night seven father and son were crowded together on a kang, which was so full that it was difficult to turn over.The five brothers have long been used to it, and the entanglement of hands and feet does not affect sleep.

For the two new arrivals, it is difficult to fall asleep...

Zhu Huan also got up early and made a pot full of cured brown rice.Even the real rural people have to eat and eat every meal in this season, so they have the strength to work!
After having a full meal, the seven men came to their fifteen acres of land arrogantly and vigorously.

Tang Jiachang helped to drain the water in the field long ago.The foot feels as soft as a sponge.

Brother Zhu Xing rushed to roll up his trouser legs and get out of the field, but they were all dumbfounded... Only then did they remember that they hadn't confiscated the crops yet.

This made the eldest brother who was at a loss with a sickle in his hand heaved a funny sigh of relief. It turned out that he was the same as himself.

Or Zhu Yuanzhang did not lose the craftsmanship of the old peasants.

I saw him only wearing a calf-nosed jacket, squatting down with bare feet, picked up a clump of rice stalks with his left hand, swung his sickle with his right hand and pulled it in front of him, and with a bang, he cut off a clump.After cutting two or three clumps like this, he will have a lot of rice in his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang gently placed the rice stalk in the field, then cut out a second one and put it on top of the first one.The two rice stalks are in the shape of a 'herringbone', stacked on top of the cut rice stubble.

Then he raised his knife to cut the third one, not forgetting to greet his sons:
"Hurry up and do it while it's cool. When the sun comes out, it will be unbearably hot to work."

While speaking, swish, swish, and golden characters of 'people' appeared behind him, like a ruthless humanoid harvester.

The sons quickly imitated the example, and bent down to cut the sickle.

"You guys are really old farmers." Tang Jiachang, who was in the field next to him, clicked his tongue while cutting rice: "I thought that even a high-ranking official would not know how to farm."

"My father was farming before he became an official," Zhu said.

"I let the cow go." Zhu Di said.

"I have to eat too." Zhu Zhen made up his knife.He also came to help.

"Hahaha, isn't that the same way as Master Hongwu?" Tang Jiachang couldn't help regretting: "Well, speaking of it, I also let go of old Tang's cattle, but unfortunately I didn't ask for food, otherwise maybe I can also be a Your Majesty."

"Uncle, it's no problem if you want to be a high-ranking official. Qin Wangfu and Jin Wangfu are short of a manager, are you interested?" The third child sincerely suggested: "We can recommend you to go, the salary is good, and the power is also great. "

"Yes, yes. Let's go to Prince Qin's Mansion..." Zhu Xi looked forward to Tang Jiachang after hearing the words, and it seemed that he really thought he was suitable.

"Hahaha, you two are making fun of me. Isn't the head of the palace an eunuch?" Chief Tang Jia is well-informed and knows that before becoming an official, he needs to cut a knife first.

"Anyway, you are already at this age, and you don't have that kind of thinking anymore." Zhu said disapprovingly, "And I heard that you can live longer if you cut it off."

"That doesn't work either. Whether we use it or not is one thing, but whether we have it or not is another matter." Chief Tang Jia resolutely defended his balls.

"Oh, okay, okay." King Qin had no choice but to regret that he liked Tang Jiachang quite a bit.

~~
Before I knew it, it was the end of the morning, and the fifth child came to deliver the meal with the burden.

"Take a break and eat something." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, stretched his sore waist, and looked at the rows of golden "human" characters behind him, feeling very happy.The block that had been pent up in my heart for many days finally loosened.

As he walked towards the shade of the trees beside the field, he asked Zhu Biao, "How about it, boss, can you still bear it?"

Unlike the three younger brothers, Zhu Biao has been doing farm work for more than half a year, and this is the first time a big girl has been on a sedan chair.After a morning, I felt that this waist was not my own.

But his temperament was soft on the outside and tough on the inside, and he was determined not to complain, so he supported his sore waist and forced a smile: "No problem, I can persevere."

"Good job." Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder.

"The younger brothers are the best." Zhu Biao said with a smile: "The second brother has done at least three times as much work as me, and he is still alive and well."

"Brother, you can't compare with the second brother. He is a well-known human-shaped animal from all over the world." Zhu Di laughed.

"You are still the reincarnation of the black bear spirit." Zhu satirized Zhu Di.

"You!" Zhu Di glared angrily.In front of the royal father, there is no way to retaliate against Ximen Qing and women's fetishism.

"Okay, okay, you two are doing well." Zhu Biao hugged the two of them by the arms and said with a smile, "I have been cutting rice all morning, and I still have the energy to bicker."

"I can mow all day long!"

"I can mow for two days!"

Amidst the endless bickering of the third and fourth, the Zhu family father and son sat down in the shade by the edge of the field.

Tang Jiachang also came over naturally.

Everyone poured cold boiled water to quench their thirst and heat, and then opened the bamboo baskets to make hot meat pies, green onions and soy sauce.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a very good appetite after working. He burrito with one hand and scallions dipped in miso with the other, eating deliciously.

Tang Jiachang gave a thumbs up and said: "A senior official can, he can eat and drink, and he is also good at work!"

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and said, "When we were young, we suffered through all kinds of hardships. People say harvesting rice is the most tiring time of the year, but back then we were looking forward to harvesting rice so that we could have a few full meals."

"Your official is really a hero." Tang Jiachang praised him sincerely, and then asked tentatively, "If you come back this time, won't you leave?"

"I still have to go." Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion: "It's not free to be an errand. I really hope to stay here for the rest of my life. One cow has six acres of land, and my wife and children are hot on the kang. This is the good life we ​​want."

"From what you mean, is it a comeback?" Tang Jiachang asked in surprise.

"Haha, that's right." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile, and asked Tang Jiachang, "What is the old man's wish? Tell me and see if we can help you realize it."

"I really have a wish," Tang Jiachang sighed after hearing the words: "I want to go back to my hometown to visit the grave, but Zhu Hongwu, who killed a thousand knives, won't let us immigrants leave this county for half a step."

'Pfft...' The princes sprayed water, choked on food, wishing they could quickly cover Old Tang's mouth.

"Zhu Hongwu is indeed a murderer, he deserves to die." Who knows, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with deep conviction: "He did make a stupid decision. But His Royal Highness Chu has already interceded for you, I believe it will soon There will be a decree to lift the restrictions on you."

"Ah, really?" Tang Jiazhang couldn't believe it.But considering that the other party is the old boss of the county magistrate, the credibility should still be very high.

"Really." Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed the last bite of cake, patted his buttocks and got up and said: "The sixth son brought the threshing bucket, let's go, go threshing!"

ps. In the second update, I thought the child was fine yesterday, but it turned out to be a fever again, probably because of the A-flu.Hey, haggard...
