Chapter 213: Chapter 214: Taking Care of Postpartum Confinement 1

But nobody complained of exhaustion or took a break for an extra minute.

At noon break time, a group of people sat under the shade of the trees, chewing on the pancakes sent from their homes, listening to Zhao Mancao on a high ground, making his voice louder, "For these two days, don’t ration food, you must eat as much as you can, so you can have the strength to work. We must work overtime to gather all the rice! The physical labor of these few days is hard, but I believe you all can definitely persist. Our slogan is, race against time to harvest rice!"

"Race against time to harvest rice! Race against time to harvest rice!"

The cheers from below were extremely loud, everyone was full of energy.

When they had just started harvesting rice, they also felt the full grains of rice. This year’s rice grains had ripened to an excellent condition, the cooked rice would definitely be more fragrant than usual.

If such good rice were to be consumed by locusts, they would be heartbroken.

"Fortunately, the heavens are merciful to us, otherwise such good rice would have been destroyed by the locusts."

"Isn’t that right? When I left home this morning, I saw so many locusts, my legs went soft. I looked forward to stars, waited for the moon, it was not easy to wait until it’s edible, but suddenly there were so many locusts. Thank God for wiping out those disasters!"

"What does this show? This shows that good people will receive good rewards. We are all good-hearted people in the village, the heavens will not punish us."

Listeing to their discussions, Ma Xiulian thought to herself: All these are thanks to my dear Guibao. It was God’s unwillingness to let Guibao starve that he took away those locusts.

Otherwise, we may not be able to have enough food for the coming year.

Moreover, since the birth of Guibao, the weather has been favourable every year, and even the usually mature crops are more bountiful than usual.

Everyone in the commune kept busy until it was dark when they could no longer see, they then each took their sickle, shouldered their load, and walked home.

Upon reaching home, they sat under the eaves to rest. No one cooked, after all, they were exhausted from working the whole day.

Such sudden high-intensity work, even the men of the Chen Family found it hard to keep pace.

The women’s chores were slightly easier, so after resting for a while, Ma Xiulian led the two daughters-in-law to start a fire for cooking.

She remembered Zhao Mancao’s words, these few days they had to eat their fill to have energy for work. So, while cooking, she added a big bowl of white rice to the brown rice.

She also fried a small pot of bacon.

When the meals were distributed, everyone was thrilled.

Not only was there white rice mixed in today’s brown rice, but it was also cooked to be particularly thick!

There was so much bacon, the shiny look of it made people drool.

Ma Xiulian said generously, "There is still a lot in the pot, for these days, let’s loosen our bellies and eat to our fill!"

Zhou Zhaodi swallowed his saliva and flattered his mother-in-law: "Mom, you are so generous!"

Chen Erbao followed behind, "Granny, you are the most generous granny!"

Although aware that the mother and daughter team were flattering her for food, Ma Xiulian couldn’t help but smile: "Then when you grow up, you must filial to granny and grandpa."

Chen Erbao nodded vigorously, "That’s a must!"

Not wanting to fall behind, Helian Qiao said, "Granny, I will also be filial."

"Good, our Guibao is the most filial." With that, the smile on Ma Xiulian’s face grew even bigger.

Chen Erbao did not argue with his sister over this, as he had already started to gobble up his porridge.
