field.
Li Yu was sweating freely and scratching the ground.
His expression was solemn and serious, mixed with a bit of pain.
This kind of land is really hard work, and there is a lot of knowledge.
The ground had to be plowed and the stones had to be cleared.
When I first started doing it, my arms felt sore and weak after just a few exercises, and my waist and back hurt. Within ten minutes, my calf muscles became cramped.
There are only two meals a day, potatoes and pickles.
But after a long day's work, the originally bland potatoes became a bit sweeter.
Even sleeping at night feels more secure, just touch the pillow.
After two days, although I am still in unbearable pain when working, I feel better than at the beginning.
I can only keep my head down and work like this. I should be able to go home early after finishing my work...
Not far away, Fang Chenyu was lying lazily next to a tree, with his legs crossed and a piece of grass in his mouth.
Wearing a straw hat he got from somewhere, half buckled on his face, he lamented that the days seemed like years.
He never worked, not even the day he called.
If you are too lazy to do it, there is no point in doing it!
Just wait for someone to pick you up and go home early to enjoy life.
"Hey... why haven't you come to pick me up... It's been three days."
While he was talking to himself, Mao Dan's figure gradually appeared not far away, holding a small basket in his hand.
This is to bring them food.
Mao Dan ran to Fang Chenyu in small steps and whispered: "Brother Fang, I'm here to deliver the food."
"Who is your brother? He's been barking all day long! It's potatoes and pickles again today?" Fang Chenyu didn't even raise his head.
"yes...."
"It's boring...just leave it there." Fang Chenyu raised his toes, but his upper body remained motionless.
Mao Dan bent down and put the bowl of pickles and potatoes aside, and walked towards Li Yu and Zhou Fugui.
After taking two steps, Fang Chenyu suddenly put down his legs.
Mao Dan was tripped instantly and fell flat on his back. His small body fell to the ground.
"Ah..." Mao Dan cried instantly.
While crying, I checked the basket of potatoes in a panic.
Fortunately, she protected it consciously before falling, and the food inside was not scattered.
"You bullied me again... ugh..."
With tears on his face, Mao Dan reached out and wiped flowers all over his face. He picked up the small basket and stood there helplessly.
"Hey! Take out the meat you have hidden in your house, and I won't bully you anymore." Fang Chenyu raised his hand and tipped his straw hat slightly, showing disdain on his face.
"I don't have meat at home..." Mao Dan cried aggrievedly, wiping his tears, he turned and walked towards Li Yu and Zhou Fugui.
Dad hasn't eaten yet, so she has to deliver food.
After feeling bored, Fang Chenyu put on his straw hat and continued to take a nap.
When Li Yu saw this scene from a distance, his anger suddenly welled up in his heart. He dropped his hoe and strode towards Fang Chenyu.
When Mao Dan saw her coming, he immediately picked up the small basket and said, "Brother Li, let's eat."
Li Yu stopped and said softly: "Oh, you and your father will eat first, and I will eat later."
After that, he continued to rush towards Fang Chenyu.
He walked closer, raised his foot and kicked the tree trunk next to Fang Chenyu's head, roaring angrily: "Fang Chenyu, get out of here!"
boom!
Fang Chenyu trembled in fright and dropped his straw hat.
Seeing it was Li Yu, he kept patting his chest and said: "Oh...Old Li, you scared me to death, what are you doing?"
Li Yu clenched her fists and stared at him eagerly: "Let me ask you, even if you don't work these two days, why are you bullying Mao Dan again? I'm warning you, if you dare to bully her again, I will beat you!"
Fang Chenyu curled his lips: "Old Li, we are brothers, and you want to beat me up because of an outsider?"
"Besides, it's not like I didn't work, look at that." Fang Chenyu pointed to a small pile of stones behind him, "I'm repairing the toilet. If you have the skills to repair it, don't use it."
Li Yu said angrily: "Who wants to use it! If you keep doing this, you are not my brother. You still bully Mao Dan when she cooks and delivers food every day?"
Fang Chenyu smacked his lips: "So what if you bully her? This little liar."
"Say that again?!" Li Yu stared.
Fang Chenyu waved his hand helplessly: "I'm talking about Lao Li, I've seen you tired from doing stupid things all day long. You haven't noticed it yet, have you?"
"What did you see?" Li Yu's anger subsided slightly, replaced by confusion.
"Forget it, I'll just tell you directly. It seems like you can't figure it out yourself."
"Fake! It's all fake. Everyone is acting, can't you see?" Fang Chenyu stretched out his hand and pointed at the people farming everywhere, "Those farming around. Mao Dan, Zhou Fugui , and his father is an actor! He specializes in acting in front of us, but you are really going to work with others. "
"Why do you say that?" Li Yu asked.
"Let me ask you, do you usually read newspapers?" Fang Chenyu asked back.
"Look, aren't they supposed to read newspapers in the morning reading in school? What does it have to do with newspapers?"
Fang Chenyu shook his head and sighed: "That's right, let's read the newspapers. Don't newspapers always say that our situation is prosperous and people's lives are getting better and better?"
"How is it possible that there are so many poor people? They can't even eat meat or drink honey every day. Is this reasonable? It's all in vain?"
Li Yu was a little confused.
It seems so... He didn't say how he felt yet, but once he said it, everything felt wrong.
I read the newspaper every day and there are so many wonderful sights. How can there be such poor people who can’t even eat so much meat?
It’s really unreasonable!
Fang Chenyu continued: "Also, what do we eat every day?"
"Potato, two meals a day, what's wrong?"
"This is even more wrong. I used to read newspapers and found that a potato snack stall in the capital could earn more than ten taels of silver a month! No one in my father's newspaper office can earn so much!"
"Also, those who grow flowers, those who grow melons, and those who sell this and that have all made a fortune! The family has whatever they want. How come Mao Dan's family eats potatoes every day, but they don't sell them to make money? They are here every day What are you trying to dig the ground for?"
Li Yu scratched his head.
"Hiss...sss...you're right! Why don't the Maodan family go to the capital to sell potatoes? That's not much easier than farming...but maybe they don't know how to do business?"
Fang Chenyu said disdainfully: "I can think of it, sir, can't you think of it? It seems you are not awake yet..."
"There are no poor people in our country. I still have evidence!"
