Cheng San immediately laughed when he heard this.

He hugged Bai Guichen, who was also not very energetic, and said, "Godmother, although we need to pretend to be peasants, there is no need to really treat ourselves as peasants, and besides, we should also..."

Shu Yan gave Cheng San an angry look.

"Shut up, boy, do you know how cold it is in winter here? There is no firewood in this yard. Do you have money to buy charcoal? Have you prepared the grain and vegetables for winter?"

Sui Ying came out of the house, she had already changed into very simple clothes, and her hair was directly wrapped into a woman's style.

"Northwest Hetao, there will be snow in September, and water will turn into ice in October. We should really plan early."

Cheng San went to the corner where the farm tools were kept, found a sickle, and said to Shu Yan, "When I bought the land, I also bought the wheat on the ground. Let's go harvest the wheat today."

Shu Yan glanced at Cheng San's attire, and she said, "If you don't find a hat to wear, your eyes will be so sunburned that you won't be able to keep your eyes open."

After the family had eaten, they all went to the fields.

Although it was autumn at this time, the weather was not cool at all. The scorching sun made people unable to open their eyes, and the fields were full of wheat harvesters.

Shu Yan's big family went to the field and cut the wheat very unskillfully.

Cheng San worked very hard at first, but after a while, he lay down on the ground and said to his godmother, "Mother, why are you so tired doing farm work?"

Shu wiped the sweat from her forehead, and she said, "Farming the land is not an easy job, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and work, with so many of us, can't we cut an acre of wheat in a day? "

The rest of the family has tens of acres, and they have to soak in the fields every day, and have no time to rest at night, fearing that the rain will affect the harvest.

Yu'an and Xiao Yu'er were also working with sickles, as long as Asura stood there stupidly, he didn't know what was going on in his head.

Bai Guichen and Sui Ying were very honest, but the sweat on their faces could not be faked.

When it was noon, the whole family was so tired that they couldn't straighten up. Shu Yan asked Bai Guichen and Sui Ying to go back to cook, while they watched the wheat in the field.

Shu Yan lay on the soft straw, lying in front of Cheng San, Cheng San's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he was sweating all over.

He said angrily: "Godmother, I have suffered a lot, but harvesting wheat like this is really tiring..."

I bent over to cut the wheat all morning, and my waist hurt so badly that I couldn't do it.

Shu Yan took a sip of water, she glanced at Cheng San, and said helplessly, "Farmers are the hardest ones."

On the other hand, the children on the side seemed to be full of energy. They were playing with wheat.

Shu Yan looked at Yu'an and muttered to himself: "I worked with old man Chen in Jiangnan for 20 years, but nothing was produced. The guns we made and the policies we implemented were always completely different in the process of implementation. I was hit hard and felt that I was harming the people.”

Cheng San put a grain of wheat into his mouth.

Shu Yan continued: "I didn't understand it before, but now I seem to understand where the problem is."

Cheng San turned his head to look at his godmother. Back then, the two couples were in a turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, and the court was quite critical. They allowed the nobles to enclose land, causing many people to be displaced and forced to sell themselves in factories.

However, due to disasters in other places and insufficient food, many people starved to death that year.

Fortunately, she had many acquaintances in the court, so she was not questioned just now, but Chen Shengzhi also lost his official position completely.

Everyone in the world said that Chen Shengzhi's literary and martial arts skills are not too much for being a prime minister, but he always does some outrageous things.

Cheng Sanyou asked: "Godmother, tell me, where is the problem?"

Shu Yan looked at Cheng San, she seemed to think of something sad.

"I want to be a farmer."

Bai Guichen and Sui Ying brought the food, perhaps because he was too tired in the morning, the meal Bai Guichen cooked at noon was very oily and salty.

On the contrary, it was quite to Shu Yan's appetite.

Shu Yan looked at Sui Ying who obviously had a bad face, she was a pampered woman after all, how could she endure such suffering.

Shu Yan said: "You can go back in the afternoon, just make dinner and deliver it in the evening."

Sui Ying looked a little embarrassed, but she turned around and went back.

After eating and resting briefly, they began to cut the wheat again. The three of them as adults could finish cutting the wheat in about two days, but after cutting, they pushed them home, and there were other jobs waiting for them.

There is still husking and drying of the wheat.

At the end of the day, Shu Yan's back was sore and he just waited to go back to eat some delicious food, but when Shu Yan got home, he saw the rather simple food on the table.

Sui Ying said with a face full of embarrassment: "Godmother, I will definitely study hard in the future."

Seeing Sui Ying like this, Shu Yan immediately laughed.

"It doesn't matter, it was like this at the beginning, our family's cooking is not good, and only Gui Chen is the only one who can count."

Bai Guichen took a sip with his chopsticks, and said in a low voice, "I put less salt, after heavy physical labor, the taste of the food will be stronger."

Sui Ying nodded quickly.

She seemed to feel that she was useless, so she said, "Little Yu'er, Yu'an, Asura, from now on, how about you learning from me for half an hour every night?"

This Sui Ying was also a talented woman in the capital. Although she could not take the imperial examination, she was full of knowledge.

Yu An's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"it is good."

After eating, Sui Ying washed the bowls and taught the three children to read by moonlight.

Yu'an has a good foundation, but Xiao Yu'er and Asura hardly know how to read, so Sui Ying can only teach each character one by one.

Bai Guichen said: "When the wheat is harvested, I will go to the mountain to chop some firewood. I think other people are hoarding it."

Cheng Sandao: "I'll go with you. You said that although the life of this farmer is a little bit hard, but there is always a sense of stability. The wheat is harvested, what shall we plant in the future?"

Shu Yan smiled.

"That's for next year. We can stay until next year. That's still a variable."

Cheng San smiled, pinched his chin and said, "That depends on old man Chen's ability."

Thirty miles away from Pingqiu City, Chen Shengzhi's army was about to leave. It was a great victory to regain the lost ground and form an alliance with Xiliang.

The rewards from the imperial court came like flowing water, and Chen Shengzhi was riding on the horse. Although his face was full of weather, he still couldn't hide the restraint around him.

Today, the eldest princess is even different from the past. She is riding on a horse in military uniform, riding side by side with Chen Shengzhi, with a smile on her face.

The eldest princess: "The people I sent haven't responded to the letter for a long time. The marshal thinks, where will they go?"

Chen Shengzhi laughed lowly.

"His Royal Highness, if the old man wants to protect that child, how do you feel?"
