There are too many people to help.

　　”Don’t touch anything else. The time will come in two days.” the village chief shouted.

　　”Yes, yes.”

　　Everyone knew that the village chief had harvested the rice two days earlier to reassure everyone, so they didn’t dare to do anything rash. With more people, more strength, and in a short time, an acre of rice was harvested. The villagers were anxious to see how much they had harvested, so the village chief asked his son to move the threshing tools from home to the dam.

　　The villagers gathered around to watch, and more and more rice was harvested from the threshing box.

　　”Is this a one-acre field? I hope the harvest isn’t too much?” Those who didn’t apply fertilizer at home were scared.

　　Everyone knows how much grain there is in one mu of land. It is the same that God gives rain, so why is it that the village chief’s family gets more this year? What else can we do? Fertilize the land.

　　The village chief was also shocked and could no longer sit still. This was too much.

　　”Hurry up and weigh it to see how much there is.”

　　The fat man couldn’t suppress his smile and waited happily for the weighing. The village chief’s son hurriedly got on the scale, stared with wide eyes, and stammered with a dry mouth, “Dad, four stones make one dou.”

　　”What?!”

　　The people on the dam were in an uproar. Four shi and one dou. How could there be four shi and one dou for an acre of land? At the best time, it was only two shi and five dou, a little over three hundred kilograms. Now it’s already four hundred and twenty kilograms. How could they not be in an uproar?

　　Normally, everyone weighs an average of 250 to 260 kilograms.

　　”It’s not weighed wrong? How is that possible? Let me weigh it.” The man at home who didn’t fertilize this year didn’t believe it and had to check it himself. As a result, when he looked, everyone around him asked what was wrong and whether it was four stones.

　　The man was speechless and slapped his thigh, “Oh, why didn’t I believe it at the beginning!” He almost slapped himself in the face. At the beginning, he was told to try three acres of land, and he went to register. In the end, his mother was afraid of making mistakes and stopped him from going to buy stone powder that day.

　　Who wouldn’t believe this? Everyone knows in their hearts that it is really four stones and one bucket.

　　”Oh my God, there are so many.”

　　Those who had applied fertilizer were calm, then smiled, and were so happy that they couldn’t wait to go to the fields to harvest. Those who had not applied fertilizer were upset and regretful, and some were quarreling and swearing at each other. It was nothing more than that he/she agreed to apply fertilizer in the first place, but his/her family tried to stop him/her, and now what happened is the result.

　　The wrinkles on the village chief’s face were all relaxed. Seeing that someone was still trying to fight, he quickly pulled them away and scolded them, “What are you doing! I said at the beginning that if you don’t want to do it, then don’t do it. You will bear the consequences yourself. But you are still jealous and want to fight this year? Just bear it and plant next year.”

　　Although I am jealous of this year’s harvest, there is nothing I can do. It is too late and I can only wait until next year.

　　Those who returned from the dam that day went to their own fields first. Some people were careful, fearing that someone in the village would come to destroy the fields at night, so they slept in the fields. Aunt Wang’s husband also slept in the fields and helped the Li family look after the paddy fields.

　　If it weren’t for the Li family, there wouldn’t be so much harvest. One acre of land would be worth two acres.

　　As it turned out, someone really did come to do bad things at night. Aunt Wang’s husband saw the sneaky shadow and shouted, which scared the shadow away. He told the story to everyone in the village during the day, and everyone was scared. So they didn’t care about waiting for a day and quickly put the things away. They felt at ease only when they got them back to their own yard.

　　So this year the harvest came early.

　　The Li family has ten acres of paddy fields, and this year is the easiest time to harvest. Gu Zhao originally wanted to go to the fields to work like he did when he harvested wheat, but someone came to his house and knocked on the door.

　　The second son of the village chief, who was dark and strong, said, “My father said that there are only four mu of paddy fields left after fertilizing them. With him, my elder brother and my younger brother, we can harvest them at leisure. Brother Li, you have a lot of land, so let me come over to help first. There is no need to tire Gu Shulang. Let Gu Shulang study hard.”

　　The second son speaks with a mouthful of white teeth and smiles happily. He has not closed his mouth since he learned about the harvest yesterday.

　　Li Da accepted the good intention. This year, the ten mu of paddy fields were the easiest to harvest, and it only took two days. Families who had not applied fertilizer also came to help. In the end, even Li Zhouzhou did not have to go to the fields and only had to cook.

　　There are people in the village who are envious of Li’s harvest. This year, Li has fertilized all his ten acres of paddy fields. They dare not even count the number, as their hearts beat fast when they calculate the number. But then they think that this method of fertilizing the fields was told to everyone for free by Gu Shulang. If his family did not fertilize the fields this year, they can do so next year.

　　Although he was jealous, he didn’t do anything bad.

　　The fields fertilized with fertilizer were basically the same as those of the village chief’s. Some of the fields were more carefully fertilized and could produce an extra liter or two. He couldn’t help but praise Li Da’s family again and again, and this time he meant it sincerely.

　　A man who takes favors from others is grateful for what he has received.

　　At first, uncles and aunts were clueless, but now that there was real food, they really admired and respected the Li family to the extreme. Even Tian came to the house one day and stuffed a few eggs into Li Zhouzhou’s hands. She shamelessly said that it was all her fault in the past, and she was so happy that she slapped herself in the mouth.

　　Li Zhouzhou was stunned on the spot. Tian spoke quickly. She slapped her own mouth happily, stuffed the goods into Li Zhouzhou’s hand and went back. She said that she could find a wife for Daniu this year!

　　The rice is hung out to dry in the yard, then threshed and packed into sacks and piled in the granary. When the weather is fine, it is taken out to dry and collected at night.

　　Li Da harvested two mu of yellow rice from the field by himself. Seeing the sacks that couldn’t even fit into the woodshed, he was so happy that his mouth was splitting. He turned around and said to Zhou Zhou, “Kill a chicken to nourish Zhao’er. He has been studying hard recently.”

　　Zhaoer: …

　　I was also happy.

　　Let’s have chicken tonight.
