There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Every year when spring begins, Daohua will go to Daoxiang Village to inspect the situation of spring ploughing. Every time he brings rice, and when the rice arrives at Zhuangzi, it will soon become one with the children of the tenants, beckoning cats and dogs, and run wild everywhere.

Therefore, rice is no stranger to the field.

Compared to Xiao Moren who were still annoyed by stepping on the ground and soiling their shoes and knocking on their feet, Daozi happily picked up the ears of grain with his small bag.

The field where the children picked up the ears of grain was just harvested yesterday.

After the rice is exposed to the sun, the grains are easy to fall off. Even if the tenants harvest carefully, some ears of grain will always fall in the fields.

Not only the rice is picked up again, but the children of the tenant households are also picking it up.

The ears of grain left in the ground belong to whoever picks them up, and there is no need to teach them. Every time at this time, all the children of the tenant households will be dispatched.

Seeing that the fields were full of children picking up grains, Xiao Moren seemed to have been assimilated and slowly joined in picking up grains.

"We picked up the ears of grain because we were being punished, so are they too?" Xiao Mobao picked up the ears of grain slowly, bent once, and took a rest for a while before bending the second time. Slowly, even the youngest Xiao Moxu walked ahead of him. .

When Daozi heard this, he turned around and said, "I know this. They picked up these ears of grain and took them back to eat."

Xiao Moqing looked puzzled: "There is so much grain grown in the ground, is it not enough for them to eat?"

Daozi stopped and stood: "Because these lands are not theirs, so these grains have nothing to do with them. They can only get a small part."

As he said that, he looked at Xiao Moren seriously.

"Fourth brother, sixth brother, you must work hard. My father said that to many people, we are just like fat meat and will provoke hungry wolves."

"If we don't have enough ability, we won't be able to keep our family property, and we will be eaten by hungry wolves, even those with meat." He pointed to the other children in the field.

"At that time, you can only be like them, helping others to farm the land and picking up the grain ears that others have fallen."

Chu Lang on the ridge: "."

How did Xiao Yeyang teach Daozi? Such a small doll, is it okay to say this?

However, it was difficult for Daozi to remember, and he taught a few grandsons a lesson so vividly.

Xiao Moren and Xiao Mokuan were a little older and already sensible, and they were thoughtful when they heard Daozi's words, while Xiao Moqing, Xiao Mobao, and Xiao Moxu didn't take it seriously.

In the beginning, a few little guys were more interested, and with the encouragement of the tenants' children, they picked up some ears of grain and put them all into the bag in Dong Li's hand.

However, after picking it up for half an hour, Xiao Mobao first sat down on the ground and refused to move.

After a while, Xiao Moxu stopped working.

Daozi and Xiao Moqing went to catch sparrows with the tenant's children.

In this way, only the oldest Xiao Moren and Xiao Mokuan were left in the field and continued to pick up the grain ears.

As older brothers, they can't run and play like their younger brothers. Grandpa Chu and Dongli guards are watching on the ridge.

In the open field, a flock of sparrows flew around, looking for grains left in the ground.

Everywhere a sparrow lands, a child pounces on it.

"boom!"

Seeing a sparrow flying onto the haystack, Rice didn't even think about it, and jumped on it.

The haystack was not big, and when the rice body was pressed up, it collapsed directly, but fortunately, the sparrow was caught by him.

"Fourth brother, look, I caught a sparrow!"

Daozi clutched the sparrow with both hands, and ran to Xiao Moren excitedly. When he got to the front, he said excitedly, "We can eat the roasted sparrow later."

Seeing that there were a lot of straws stuck on Daozi's head, Xiao Moren cleaned it up for Daozi, and then smiled and praised: "Rice is really amazing."

Daozi was very proud, and then grabbed the sparrow and ran to Chu Lang: "Grandpa Chu, look, the sparrow I caught, they said that the roasted sparrow is delicious."

Chu Lang smiled and took the sparrow in Daozi's hand: "This sparrow, grandpa let him roast it, go ahead and pick up the ears of grain."

The smile on Daozi's face collapsed, and she tugged at the front of her shirt with both hands.

He doesn't want to pick up rice ears anymore. He wants to play, catch sparrows, and climb trees. Seventh brother has already gone to climb trees and pick fruits with the tenant's children, and he also wants to go.

Chu Lang saw through the little guy's mind at a glance, and said with a smile, "Do you remember how you promised your mother before going out?"

Daozi was silent for a while, then muttered: "The seventh brother has gone to play."

Chu Lang: "He is the son of the eldest prince. Your mother doesn't care about it, but you are your mother's son. Since you promised your mother to pick up the food that was wasted yesterday, you must do what you say."

"You don't want to disappoint your mother when you go back in the afternoon, do you?"

Daozi pursed his lips and looked at Chu Lang: "Grandpa Chu, but I'm tired."

Chu Lang was not used to him, and continued with a smile: "Your mother said, if you can't pick it up today, the amusement park will be closed for a while after you go back."

Rice's head drooped down, turned around silently, and returned to the field feebly to continue gleaning.

Seeing that Daozi could not beg for mercy, Xiao Moren and Xiao Mokuan were completely disappointed and could only continue to bury their heads in picking up grain ears, but Xiao Moqing, seeing that no one called him, continued to climb trees and catch birds with other children.

For Xiao Moren and others who had never worked before, it was not easy to pick up two bags of grain ears. In the afternoon, Chu Lang saw that several children were tired and asked them to go to the field that was just harvested today. to pick up.

When he came in the morning, he greeted Zhuangtou and told them not to harvest the grain too cleanly today.

The task of collecting two bags of ears of grain must be done by the children, not demotivating them.

Xiao Yeyang knew that his son and a few nephews were going to Zhuangzi for reform through labor, so he took a few officials out of the city to inspect the autumn harvest in various places.

As the evening approached, Xiao Yeyang and his group came to Zhuangzi. They came here to see their son's achievements, and to pick up the child by the way.

The people from the An and Du families also followed. When they saw the grandsons in the fields who were all dirty and bent over to pick up grain ears, they felt bad for them.

They knew that several grandsons came to Zhuangzi today to punish them for knocking over the moon cakes yesterday. They thought that Princess Xiao was just pretending, but they didn't expect that she actually let the grandsons work in the field!

However, they couldn't say anything. They agreed that the emperor's grandson came to Zhuangzi, and Xiao Moxi was also picking up grains in the ground. King Weiyuan didn't feel sorry for his son. What could they say?

"father!"

Seeing Xiao Yeyang coming, Daozi immediately had a bright smile on his face, then opened his arms, spread his feet, and ran towards Xiao Yeyang.

However, when he was walking up the field ridge, he tripped and fell to the ground, and the ears of grain in the small bag hanging around his neck suddenly spilled on the ground.

Just when everyone thought that King Weiyuan was going to come forward to comfort Daozi, they found that Xiao Yeyang just said calmly: "Fall down and stand up." It didn't look like it was a big deal.

Not only did Xiao Yeyang not move, but Chu Lang and the others did not step forward.

Daozi sat on the ground, hehe smiled, not embarrassed, clapped his hands, and then stood up as if nothing was wrong.

Xiao Yeyang tapped the ear of grain on the ground with his chin, Daozi immediately made an "oh", and then squatted down and picked up the ear of grain little by little.

"Father, there are too many ears of grain, come and help me."

At this time, Xiao Yeyang walked over, squatted down and accompany his son to pick up grain ears, and asked, "Do you know that food is rare?"

Daozi frowned, and nodded with a sigh, "Father, food is too rare. The ears of grain I picked up today are only enough to make ten moon cakes. I won't go to the kitchen to make trouble in the future."

Xiao Yeyang rubbed his son's head: "One porridge and one meal, when thinking is hard-won, it is shameful to waste food."

Daozi nodded seriously: "Dad, I see."

Ann, Du and other officials were stunned, as if they understood the intention of King Weiyuan and his wife to let the children come to Zhuangzi.
