The Lucky Farmgirl

Zhou Dalang sighed, "Today, all the other families in the village have finished harvesting their wheat, but Zhou Hu’s family still has four plots left."

Old Zhou frowned, "Isn’t that too slow?"

"There’s no helping it, his daughter-in-law is still bedridden and can’t move, he has to go back to cook three meals and make medicine for her every day. Luckily, Dafu and Second Son can help out a bit, otherwise he definitely wouldn’t be able to manage both the fields and the household."

Manbao said, "Big brother, why don’t you take Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother to help out tomorrow? I’ll go help after school too, I’ve already learned how to use a sickle."

Old Zhou took a puff of his cigarette and didn’t speak for a while.

After giving him a glimpse, Ms. Qian spoke up, "Let’s do as Manbao says. I noticed the sky was overcast with the sound of thunder today; it might rain at any time. Take Datou, Daya, Second Son, and Erya as well. Since we’re cutting wheat, might as well help them harvest the beans in the field too."

Zhou Dalang happily agreed; he had a very good relationship with Zhou Hu.

Ms. Qian pondered for a moment, then turned to Ms. He, who was busy rolling dough, and said, "You get along well with Zhou Hu’s family. Go over there first thing tomorrow morning. Men can be careless with certain things; it has to be a woman’s job."

Ms. He happily agreed as well.

Her maiden home was quite far from Qili Village, and among all the daughters-in-law in Qili Village, only she and Ms. Chen were from the same village. Moreover, she had grown up playing behind Sister Chen, who took good care of her, so their relationship was pretty good even after she got married.

Especially since her marriage to Zhou Sanlang was arranged by Ms. Chen, their third branch of the Zhou Family had a good relationship with Zhou Hu’s family as well.
