The Lucky Farmgirl

County Magistrate Fu estimated the time, "I remember that around this time every year, isn’t it time to start reaping the wheat?"

"Yes, but the sun hasn’t shone enough before, I reckon it’ll take another month for the wheat fields to turn yellow." After all, it has been raining for so long.

County Magistrate Fu nodded and repeatedly praised, "Not bad, not bad. If everyone were as well-prepared as you, paying early attention to the work in the fields, maybe the harvest wouldn’t be bountiful, but it wouldn’t be as difficult as it is now."

Everyone: ...

Old Zhou just chuckled and said, "My lord flatters me too much, actually, there are quite a few diligent people in the village, I just have the advantage of having one more son."

Six sons, four daughters-in-law, one eldest daughter, plus himself, one person in charge of one section, watering the fields is a matter of moments, not difficult, what’s difficult is catching the pests in the field.

Catching pests is really hard.

It’s already tough to catch pests and clear snails in the rice fields, but catching them in the wheat fields is even tougher.

And their family has many people, just like Manbao, who after school every day would run to the fields, either weeding or catching pests, so their crops are in better condition than other families.

It’s not because they are superior in farming techniques or more diligent, but simply due to the convenience of having more people.

County Magistrate Fu didn’t know if he had taken it in or not, but he just nodded his head anyhow.
