Letter from Jiang Jun
After lunch, everyone took a half-hour break and then continued to the ground. In the afternoon, LuLu and MeiMei stayed at their respective homes to cook, while the rest of the people went to the ground to work.
Wu Yuguang didn't show up for the whole afternoon, Tian Gui threw his hands and refused to eat, thinking that he could sulk and not do anything in the afternoon. As a result, before going out, Tian Maocun still went to his room to call him up.
Tian Gui complained all the way, saying that he hadn't eaten lunch and why he still had to work in the afternoon. Later, he was scolded by Tian Mao Chun and became honest.
The scorching sun in the afternoon made people dizzy and disoriented. With eyes wide open, it was impossible to gaze directly at the sun, or else one's eyes would be hurt. It felt as if there were countless rings of light floating above one's head.
"Yuan Yuan, don't keep staring at the sun like that, you'll go blind! How will you read your books then?" Li Shufen shouted over to Tianyuan.
"Mom, it's scorching hot. Why didn't Hou Yi shoot this sun down along with the others? It's killing people!" Tian Yuan muttered in response, then continued to work busily, perhaps having not done farm work for a long time and feeling somewhat out of practice.
"What's the point of living if we're all going to be shot? How can our rice grow? You little fool, asking such a question is really laughable." Li Shufen teased from the side, making Tian Biao and Tian Xiang burst out laughing.
"Yuan Yuan, if you're tired, just take a break and rest for a while. You're still young, don't exhaust yourself." Tian Ma Chun reminded her on the side, "We adults can manage without you for one day, why not stay home tomorrow and teach your younger brother and sister to read? We adults will just work a few more hours at most."
"Dad, a few hours isn't enough time, is it? Why do my wife and I have to go out and work, while my younger brother and older brother only need one person from our family to go? If that's the case, we can also send just one person from our household to rest." Tian Gui was very displeased upon hearing this.
"It's just Dad, not so biased!" Zhao Qiuxiang straightened up, fanning herself with one hand and looking at the vast expanse of land with a frustrated expression, "And there's still so much land, I don't know how long it'll take to finish!"
"Never mind, Grandpa, it's okay. I'll just exercise more." Tianyuan shrugged her shoulders. After all, she was the eldest granddaughter in the family. Who didn't have a lot of work to do and were exhausted? Fortunately, LuLu was at home; otherwise, if she had followed them out for a few days, who knows how dark she would have become?
Tian Mu Chun smiled and told Tian Wei that if she was tired, she could go rest, then he bent down to continue working. In farm work, harvesting rice and transplanting seedlings are very tiring tasks, with constant bending and straightening, back and forth, basically everyone's waist and back ache after a few busy days.
On the small road by the side, a postman rode a bicycle and rang the bicycle bell towards several people working in the field, shouting, "Tianyuan, Tianyuan, you have a letter, sent from the county town, and there is also a package."
The postman is the one in town, but now he's nearby because Tian Jia subscribed to a newspaper and everyone knows someone from the Tian family. Seeing people on the ground, the postman simply didn't go to the Tian house anymore, directly stopping his bicycle.
The postman's bicycle was allocated by the work unit. At that time, bicycles were a rare means of transportation. The Phoenix brand bicycle was recognizable to anyone who saw it, and its fame was comparable to that of BMW in the 21st century.
