Chapter 890 The More You Work, the More Energetic You Are
Xu was following behind like an old hen protecting her chick, afraid that she would fall.
They were all young men and worked very quickly. It only took them half an hour to finish one acre of land.
Zhou Gu stood up and shouted to Zhou Guo, "It's not enough, shall we plant another acre?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "You can do as much as you want on these hundreds of hectares of land, but the people below can't wait for you, they have to work with you."
He nodded at Dashu.
When Dashu struck the gong, the farmers standing on the bank rushed into the fields like dumplings.
He started working loudly.
After a while, people could be heard shouting everywhere in the fields.
There is a lack of seedlings here, and the seedling lines need to be pulled out over there. Some people simply don't use seedling lines, and they just plant straight rows in their own land.
Mrs. Li looked at the scene and smiled, "This reminds me of when your grandparents were still alive. At that time, every household planted rice. Every year, when they planted rice seedlings, some families in the village had more land, and those with fewer people would trade labor with others. When they got to the fields, they would gather together, chatting and laughing, and shouting and yelling. It was really lively."
Although she had exchanged jobs with others in Cangshan Village, the land here was all dry land and wheat was grown there. For her, it was still not as lively as planting rice seedlings.
Zhou Guo had never experienced the excitement of the whole village planting rice together, but looking at these farmers planting rice together with a smile on their faces, he seemed to be able to imagine it.
Those who can exchange jobs are those who get along well with each other. It seems pretty good to invite a few good friends to work together and chat while working, right?
It’s just a pity that she doesn’t seem to have any friends?
It is true when you think about it. She has been working hard outside for so many years, and most of the people she interacts with are in the business world. Where would she have good friends?
But being able to earn such a huge fortune, it seems that she can accept not having friends, and these fortunes are her friends.
After Zhou Gu and his friends had planted an acre of land, they were reluctant to move out and just followed the other farmers to plant.
The farmers were a little hesitant at first. After all, they were the employers. If they offended them, they would be in trouble.
They would hide as far away as possible. If the land wasn't too big, they wouldn't want to be in the same field with them.
After working for half an hour, everyone gradually became familiar with each other and there were no more reservations in their words, and they could speak boldly.
There were many people singing, both men and women. I couldn't understand what they were singing, but the tune was still very good.
Zhou Suli stood up to listen and said enviously, "They sing so beautifully!"
"Young Master, you like to listen to this? I can sing this, too. Listen to me sing it, ahem... eh..."
As his voice became brighter, Zhou Su's eyes lit up and he wanted to sing along.
Li listened to the singing coming from all directions and said, "That's great. Even in the Zhao family, during the busy farming season, although there are many long-term and short-term workers working, it's mostly lifeless. Why are people here still singing?"
Zhou Guo said: "Farm work is tiring, singing can relieve fatigue. Look at them singing and shouting like this, how wonderful it is. The fields are peaceful, and some have food to eat and clothes to wear, which means that life is slowly getting better. The louder they sing, the more hopeful life is!"
"You're right. Listening to it makes me feel better." The old man shook his head and hummed along.
The people in Song County are very enthusiastic about their work. After staying here for a long time, he felt that this place was no worse than Cangshan Village. In addition, Zhou Guo had taken root here in one spring, so he simply moved here. These days, he is indeed in better spirits than when he was at home.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Master, you might as well go with them to plant rice. Maybe you can have an extra bowl of rice at noon."
Li was stunned. Just as she was about to ask how she could let her husband go to work in the fields, the old man stood up.
He said, "Well, it's not like I haven't done it before."
He rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, took off his shoes and went to the fields. He was thinking about the first few years after he arrived, when the family situation was not so good. He went to the fields to work every year, especially during the wheat harvest season, when he worked all day under the scorching sun. In such hot weather, everything he ate tasted delicious.
It’s not like now, when people eat too much good food and can’t even finish several bowls of rice in one meal.
Li frowned, "Why do you still let the teacher go to the fields to plant rice? He is not very good at it."
Zhou Guo said, "Just let him go. He will be more energetic if he works. Otherwise, he will get sick if he just sits there eating and drinking tea all day."
"Nonsense." Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "How can anyone become more energetic the more they work? Look at the masters of the wealthy families and the people in the countryside. Who looks younger when they are the same age?"
Zhou Guo said: "That's not how you compare. Master is comparing himself. He can eat two bowls of rice per meal now. If he works all morning, he can eat three bowls at noon, and he has to nod while eating, saying 'delicious!'"
"Then why don't you go down and work?" Li pointed to the large field. "It would take hundreds of people half a month to plant rice on such a large field. The seedlings of the first acre have already grown tall, but the last acre has not yet been planted."
"I planted the seedlings in the experimental field with Zhang Lao and his son. It's more than ten acres. I didn't let anyone else interfere. I've worked hard these days, so I need to take a break now."
Zhou Guo sat still. She was the busiest person during the entire spring plowing season. She had to do farm work, supervise the progress in the fields, and deal with letters from other places. With such a large business, there were many things to deal with every day.
Others can take a break after doing this work, but where can she take a break?
Li glanced at her. She had originally wanted to let her daughter go downstairs to refresh herself, but it seemed that she was also very tired. She stood up and decided to make something delicious.
Zhou Gu and the others were busy until noon, and only when the meal was served did they come up one by one.
Zhou Guo asked with a smile: "How about it, what else do you do after dinner?"
"Fuck!" Several people nodded vigorously.
During the busy farming season, the school would give a half-month holiday.
Every year during the spring ploughing and grain harvest season, they would go to the fields to work, so after a morning, they felt pretty good and not tired, and their spirits were even higher.
Zhou Su was a little excited. He sang for so long that his voice was a little hoarse. He said, "It's more fun here with more people. It's much more fun here than working at home."
Li Lai followed up, "I also listened to a lot of Longmenzhen and learned a lot of songs from them, but the tune is a little difficult to learn."
"It's not difficult to learn. Listen, I'll sing it for you." The old man cleared his throat and began to sing.
Several people laughed. They didn't expect that the old man could sing such a tune.
Xiaohua also followed suit, babbling.
Wu Ya asked Zhou Guo, "How come the master can sing this?"
I've never heard him sing at home before.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "He learned it here. Even though he is old, he can learn these tunes accurately. He only needs to listen to others singing twice before he can sing them."
In fact, she felt that if her master had learned to sing opera, he might have become a great singer.
