Walking to the nearest seedling, Mingyi squatted down and gently stroked the young leaves of the seedling with her fingers.

"Yiyi, don't worry, we will go to the woodshed to move some grass to cover it later."

"Thank you, cousins. Fortunately, I have your help."

After all, we are a family. For the first time, Mingyi deeply realized how lucky she was to be the daughter of the Cheng family in ancient times. There was also a deep meaning in the way of heaven casting her into the Cheng family, and it was also the fate for her to walk on the road.

"Thank you no matter what, we are all one family." Cheng Mingyi looked back and smiled.

Cheng Mingli learned from his mother that the rice seedlings were submerged in snow. He hurried over and saw them talking and laughing, and felt relieved.

"Sister, cousins, how are the rice seedlings?"

Mingyi followed the sound and said with a slight smile: "Brother, you are here. My cousins ​​are helping to clean up the snow covering the seedlings. You are just here, let's help together."

"Row."

Cheng Mingli followed his sister into the field, and the six of them worked together to pull all the seedlings out of the snow. They also moved some weeds from the woodshed to use as fire starters, and each seedling was covered with a thick layer of weeds.

After everything was covered, Mingyi glanced at it and finally felt relieved.

"It's snowing so early. I don't know how much snow there will be in the future." Cheng Minglian sighed casually.

After listening to Mingyi's ears, he couldn't help but feel worried about the seedlings in the ground again.

The Cheng Mingyi brothers felt that this was a lot, "You did say something useful. The heavier the snow, the longer it will last. This way of keeping warm is not advisable. We have to think about how to save these seedlings. After all, it is hard to The result of a month’s hard work.”

"Yes!" Cheng Mingzhi rubbed his chin in thought.

Cheng Mingxin frowned and thought hard.

Cheng Mingli also had a headache. When he was thinking, he looked up and saw Mingyi's yard; the house in the yard was covered with tiles, and his eyes lit up when he stared at it.

"Have it!"

Cheng Mingyi's four brothers and Mingyi all looked at him.

Cheng Mingli pointed to the roof in a hurry, "Look."

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Minglian's mouth was faster than his brain. After he finished speaking, he turned to look at his hand, "Isn't that the roof? Why are you looking at the roof?"

Cheng Mingzhi punched the palm of his other hand with one hand, "I know, cover the seedlings with tiles and weeds that can protect them from wind and rain!"

"Didn't we build it?" Cheng Mingxin said.

"The second cousin and the younger cousin want to build a house for the rice seedlings in the three-thirds of the land. They will cut tree trunks and insert them into the land between the rice seedlings, and spread a thick layer of grass on top. Am I right?"

Cheng Mingyi looked at his two cousins ​​with a smile.

"That's right!" Mingli smiled, "As long as they are made strong enough and can't be crushed by heavy snow, their chances of survival will be much greater. For the rest, we can't change the weather, so we can do our best to let fate dictate."

"The method is a good one, but the three-thirds of the land is so wide that it takes a long time to stake the trees; cutting down the trees is also troublesome. In addition, we definitely don't have enough weeds at home."

You can't just pick up what you laid down.

After all, it's such a cold day, why don't we give the seedlings a cover to resist the cold?

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. These seedlings are too precious." Not to mention that they were sent by the Crown Prince of Zhou, since they had planted them, they had to start and finish. They only said that they were looking forward to the fruits that these seedlings would bear when they grow up.

A group of peers divided the work and cooperated. Cheng Mingli and Mingyi went to cut weeds, taking advantage of the fact that the snow cover was not very thick, and they could find as much as they could.

The four brothers Cheng Mingyi took their machetes and went to chop down the trees.

Even though breakfast was useless, they worked for a long time, and only got enough wood back at noon. After feeding, they started moving again, cutting the wood into even lengths and inserting them into the ground. The wooden stakes were inserted, and the foundation was laid; the wooden stakes were set up horizontally and vertically on the long trees, tied and fixed with weeds turned into straw ropes, and then another layer was placed horizontally on top, and then a thick layer of weeds was placed to cover it.

There weren't enough weeds, so all six of them went out and walked back and forth more than a dozen times before covering three-thirds of the land.

The shelf is half a person's height from the ground, about 1.5 meters. It's more than enough for Mingyi to get in, but others have to bend down if they want to get in.

After working on this three-thirds of the day, the six of us were very tired.

The adults are pleased to see them busy; brothers and sisters need to work together, and the friendship in business is nothing more than sharing joys and sorrows. Experiencing suffering and happiness together is the best way to enhance relationships.

Therefore, none of their elders reached out.

After the meal, the female family members put away the dishes, and the whole family sat together to warm themselves by the fire and talk, inevitably talking about what the younger generations had done today.

Cheng Dazhu's face was filled with kind and gratifying praise.

"You did a good job today. The stakes were driven firmly, the scaffolding was built densely, and the grass layer was thick. As long as there is no snowstorm, it should be enough."

"I also went to see it, and it was indeed very stable." Cheng Yuandong nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yuannan didn't want to go and see it, he just listened to them praising the younger generation.

Mingyi said: "Thanks to the help of several cousins ​​and brothers, otherwise, the seedlings in the three-thirds of the land may not survive; now that the seedlings have grown, we can eat them freely."

"You're so polite, little cousin. As an elder brother, isn't it what you should do?" Cheng Mingyi said with a smile, "Isn't it worth thanking you over and over again?"

"What your cousin said is that as a family, it's up to you to lend a hand when something happens." Cheng Yuandong nodded, giving his son approval.

Li Lianhua nodded aside, this is right; it is best for the whole family to live together in harmony and be happy without involving their own interests.

"The cousins ​​are willing to help because they are friendly brothers and sisters. As a sister, I should be grateful for the love and care of my brothers. How can I take the efforts of my brothers for granted."

Mingyi feels deeply and sincerely appreciates their good deeds, and her face naturally shows sincerity without any falsehood.

All the elders felt warm in their hearts and their bodies and minds were warm.

Not to mention the cousins ​​who, as elder brothers, are grateful to their sisters for their efforts.

"Yiyi is so sensible." Cheng Mingyi couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little more close to this sister.

People who know how to be grateful are always more likely to be recognized by others.

"No, our family Yiyi is sensible, well-behaved, filial, smart, polite and grateful." Cheng Mingzhi was also full of emotion. The feeling of being remembered in the heart after giving hard work is really beautiful, "We brothers should learn from Yiyi Learning is what it takes.”

Cheng Mingxin doesn't care about that much, "Of course Yiyi is the best."

Cheng Minglian followed up with a few compliments happily.

Cheng Mingli's face was quiet, but his eyes were full of pride; this was his Cheng Mingli's sister, a sister that no one else could compare to.

When faced with compliments, Mingyi accepted them calmly and made fun of them.

"Brothers, please stop praising me. Otherwise, my sister will be ashamed."

"Hey, will Yiyi be ashamed?"

Cheng Mingxin's words made everyone laugh, the laughter continued, and the whole hall was full of joy.
