After the meal, Li Hua cleaned up the pots and dishes, and was about to go back to his room, when he saw Li Mo sitting in the yard sharpening his plow knife, and said, "Brother, why don't you go back to the room for a rest?"
"Brother is not tired." Li Mo tried his finger on the coulter, and said, "Turn over the field again in the afternoon, and it will be planted in a few days. I want to plant some sweet potatoes and corn first. Fourth brother, you How do you feel?"
Sweet potatoes and corn, these two are relatively easy to produce high yields, and the land requirements are not too high. The elder brother is very considerate, "It's good for the elder brother to decide. You know more about these things than I do."
"Okay, you can go back to the house and have a rest. Studying every day is exhausting." Li Mo smiled slightly, and sprinkled some water on the coulter, and continued to polish it on the whetstone.
Li Hua was a little embarrassed when he was told that he was still struggling to study, so what should the big brother and the others do with these menial jobs every day? "Brother, let me sharpen your sickle for you."
"No, it will be fine after a few tumblings on the whetstone." Li Mo said and tried the edge of the coulter with his fingers, put it down when he felt that it was almost enough, and then sharpened it twice with the sickle.
Li Hua squatted aside, looking at the big rough palm of his elder brother, suddenly felt very uncomfortable, "Brother..."
Li Mo was still waiting for him to write, seeing that he was silent for a long time, he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Li Hua suddenly smiled gratifiedly, "We have a daughter-in-law now."
The movement of his hands was suffocated, and Li Mo also smiled naively. Yes, the younger brothers have grown up, and they finally have their own daughter-in-law. The Li family will surely flourish in the near future. Mother should also feel at ease.

Li Yan and Li Shu also don't have the habit of sleeping in the middle of a break. The two just went back to the east room, studied the problems of the door panels and walls, and then came out. The family only bought two acres of land. After tidying up well, we can grow some food and have a good harvest, so we won't be afraid of the end of this year.
After Li Mo packed up his tools, the three brothers went to work in the field again.
Li Man hid in the house, listening to the noise outside the door, and knew that the brothers had gone out to work again, so she opened the door lightly, came out, went to the kitchen, saw that the dishes were clean, and scooped some The water washed his own bowl.
After washing, I fed the pigs and chickens. After I was busy, I thought that my new clothes had to be washed before I could get on my body, so I took the wooden basin and went to the side of the oshii well.
In fact, Li Hua went to the window when the door of the next room was opened, secretly looked at her, and was relieved when she saw that her expression was normal, and then she smiled slightly when she saw her struggling to press the water, obviously she had never done it before. People with this kind of rough work have a very wrong posture to press the water, so even though they can press out some water, it is still strenuous enough.
Finally unable to hold back, Li Hua walked over, stretched out his hand and gently pushed Li Man away, and said, "I'll do it." He moved skillfully, and with three or two strokes, the water gushed out, and it was full in a while. tub.
Li Man smiled and said 'thank you' to him, just about to put the clothes in the basin to rub, but then thought of the bellyband, hugged the clothes in her arms again in an instant, and said to him, "Go back to the house, I'll just rub it."
"En." Li Hua agreed, and went back to the house.
Li Man waited for him to leave, and hurriedly rubbed the new clothes in the water, and took them to the bamboo pole to measure them after washing. The sun is good today, and they should be able to dry in the middle of the afternoon.
Other clothes are fine, but she has to take back the bellyband obscene trousers before the men come back.
