Man Bao studied hard, reading the new text four or five times, and going through Bai Shanbao's notes twice before closing his eyes and reciting silently.

After the morning class ended, Manbao quietly breathed a sigh of relief when Mr. Zhuang walked into the classroom with his books, then turned to look at each other and pursed his lips with a smile.

Mr. Zhuang saw it above and glanced at the things on the two children's desks. During the whole class, he didn't ask his two favorite students to answer questions.

This made the students sitting behind Manbao and the others tense up, almost dripping with cold sweat by the end of the class.

I always feel that today's questions are extremely difficult, and it seems to be aimed at them.

Is it because they have been naughty recently?

The classmates behind them are doubting themselves, while the ambitious Bai Shanbao and Manbao are gradually becoming disappointed.

Especially Man Bao. She worked hard to prepare for the entire morning class and prepared to answer many questions. However, her husband did not ask any questions. She was so disappointed.

After school ended at noon, Manbao didn't look at the system's background, and Keke didn't say anything again. She endured it until school ended in the afternoon before letting her consciousness enter the system's background to check the situation.

Only then did Keke pop up and say, "We have an order."

It classified the orders and showed them to Manbao, and the first one on the list turned out to be cabbage caterpillars.

Man Bao was shocked, "Why do they like bugs?"

"Looking at the comments on the forum, I'm glad that there are some genes in the cabbage caterpillar. After being modified, it can become a good feed for carnivores."

"Do you want to feed the chickens? Chickens like to eat bugs."

"No, it's more about feeding bicorns. Its meat is of good quality and more delicious than chickens, but it is a carnivore and has a very picky mouth."

Manbao became energetic when he mentioned the food, and quickly asked: "What does it look like, do we have it here, and can I raise it?"

There were pictures and even videos of bicorns in the encyclopedia, and Keke searched for one and showed it to her.

Man Bao looked at the two-horned beast that was bigger than a cow and had never seen it before, and couldn't help blinking, "Feed it to eat cabbage caterpillars, how many bugs will it need to feed?"

Their chickens are so small that they can eat bugs.

Keke said: "So they need to do research. I heard that some research can raise cabbage caterpillars as big as a child's arm. Moreover, this kind of insect is easy to raise and the meat seems to be of good quality, so bicorns like it very much."

Man Bao shuddered and felt goosebumps crawling all over her arms. She quickly said: "Okay, I will catch them all, Keke, please stop talking."

Keke laughed, "Do you still want to raise a bicorn?"

Man Bao said "no" resolutely, then exited the system, put away the books on his desk, refused Bai Shanbao's invitation to do homework together, and headed home with his book box on his back.

Bai Shanbao felt that Manbao had been acting weird these past two days, so he quickly carried the book box and chased her, "I saw you shaking just now. Are you sick?"

Man Bao shook his head.

Bai Shanbao was a little anxious, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. It will be bad if the minor illness turns into a serious one."

Man Bao sighed and said, "I'm not sick, I just have goosebumps."

She pulled up her sleeves and showed him her arms.

Bai Shanbao looked at it and didn't see any difference, so he rolled up his sleeve and put it next to Manbao's hand for comparison.

After comparing the two children, there seemed to be no difference, except that Bai Shanbao's arms were thicker and stronger.

But now Bai Shanbao was convinced that Manbao was not sick, so he asked again: "Are you really not going to my house to do your homework?"

Man Bao shook his head, "I have something to talk to Da Tou and the others."

"Then you go to Datou first, and then come to my house after we finish talking," Bai Shanbao said, "It will be faster to do your homework with you."

Man Bao thought the same thing. Two people can write homework faster, and if they make mistakes, there will be someone to check.

Man Bao nodded, "Then you go back first, I will find you later."

The two of them separated at the intersection.

Before Man Bao could run back to Zhou's house, he found Da Tou and others by the river not far from Zhou's house. They were beating hemp with wooden sticks, and Xiao Qian was also beside them.

Manbao rushed over and shouted: "Sister-in-law, I want Datou and the others to help me work."

Xiao Qian didn't ask what the matter was, and waved to Datou and the others: "Go, don't mess around, go home early."

Da Tou and the others happily responded and ran away happily with Man Bao.

Xiao Qian took over all the work of pounding hemp. The children who were working by the river all looked at Datou and others with envy as they went away, while the women looked at Xiao Qian with envy, "It belongs to everyone in your family.

Have all the hemp taken back?"

Xiao Qian said with a smile: "It's not that fast. I planted a lot this year, so it will take two or three days to harvest."

"It looks like it's going to rain. Many people in the village haven't harvested their wheat yet."

"Yes, the first one to finish collecting is Lao Zhou's family. The more people there are, the better."

Xiao Qian said with a smile: "The more people we eat, the more we eat. There are about twenty people in our family. One person will be added this year, and one will be added next year. Even if we only cook gruel a day, that is seven times more than other people's families."

Eight times the rice.”

"You see, my wheat harvest only takes a few days. You don't know how much my family hopes to harvest a few more days. A quick harvest means there isn't much. This year is really unlucky. I don't know if the autumn harvest of rice will be any better.

." Xiao Qian's face looked worried.

That's true, Lao Zhoutou also cried about poverty all day long. Lao Zhou had many family members, so he ate more.

"But it is much better than a family with a small number of people. If the family has a large population, it can handle it if one or two people are sick. Like your boss, he hurt his stomach last time and cannot do heavy work, but he still has Tuesday and Wednesday.

"Those brothers, look at Zhou Hu's family, how good their life was in the past, but now his mother-in-law is lying on the bed unable to move, and he is the only one relying on him inside and outside, without even a helper."

"Yes, yes, I almost didn't recognize him when I saw him this morning."

"By the way, everyone Zhou, I saw your boss cutting wheat with Zhou Hu today. Didn't he go to work at Mr. Bai's house?"

"He has a stomach injury," Xiao Qian said with a flawless smile: "My father-in-law didn't dare to let him do heavy work, for fear that the injury in his stomach would burst open from fatigue, so he didn't go. Although the boss has to do heavy work like picking things.

I can’t do it, but there is still no problem in harvesting wheat and beans. The boss and his brothers have a good relationship with Zhou Hu. They are fellow villagers and they are just helping out."

Everyone was even more envious.

Taking another look at Xiao Qian's beating, they couldn't help but speed up.

Harvesting hemp is a very troublesome task. At least based on the farm work that Man Bao has participated in, harvesting hemp is what she hates the most.

So are Da Tou Da Ya and the others.

As soon as they were out of sight of the adults, they stretched out their hands to show Man Bao their scarred hands and said: "We are all peeling hemp, and we will always get cuts, so grandma asked us to come to the river to beat the hemp, but the hemp beater

It’s also very tiring.”
