Chapter 418 Unexpected Person(2)_1
Thinking of not having to starve all year round, nearly all the villagers were overjoyed.
Zhou Dasheng’s family was not under the protection of the Lin Family, so naturally, there was no opportunity for them to sow spring wheat. However, with the wheat harvest, they also celebrated with the rest of the village. Firstly, the whole family had work to do at the Lin’s every day, and their daily income was quite substantial. Secondly, when they had free time, the Pang Family and Little Pang together went to the fields to pick up the remaining wheat spikes after harvesting, and they actually gathered quite a lot after the wheat harvest.
To avoid annoying others in their village, the Pangs always waited until others had finished their harvest and moved out before they went to the field to pick up the leftover wheat.
People in the village treasured their food, naturally not wanting to abandon the wheat left on the ground. But even the most thorough farmers could not completely pick up every single piece left in the ground.
By picking up what was left, the Zhou Family managed to collect enough wheat to fill a bag. These were quantities they wouldn’t have dared to dream of before. The Little Pangs thought about befriending the Lin Family so that they could share in their prosperity and plant the next season’s wheat.
"Mom, we have picked up so much that, come the New Year, there will be enough for making dumplings every day," Little Pang raved about their harvest with great excitement while carrying her basket.
"With the end of the wheat harvest, there wouldn’t be much left behind in the fields, as everyone will be turning the fields to plant white radish," Little Pang murmured, somewhat regretful. If she had a little more time, she could have picked up a few more bushels to take home. "You only have these little ambitions, always talking about dumplings. It’s not like our family lacks food."
