Parasa Consocia-Not for bug-hater's eyes

After lunch, Yue Chang Lu drove an ox cart and pulled a cart full of rice to the rice drying yard. There was a large drying yard in the middle of Cuifeng Village. In order to avoid any neighborhood disputes during the harvest every year, Cuifeng Village had stipulated the use range of the grain drying yard a few years ago. It was divided according to the amount of field each household had. Since Yue Family owned a lot of fields and Yue Da Fu had some face in the clan, the place for drying the grain was also quite large.

At this time, most of the grain were drying on the drying yard. Yue Chang Lu unloaded the grain from the ox cart and spread it out evenly on their own drying area for sun-drying. Then he looked back at You Zhu and You Luo and said solemnly: "If our family have one less grain, you two can eat one less meal. Understand?"

That's right. Grain-stealing incident had happened in the village before. So when Yue Chang Lu pulled the grain over, Yue Da Fu got him to bring You Zhu and You Luo, who was picking up rice ears in the field, here to watch the rice on the drying yard.

You Zhu held You Luo in one hand and nodded, "I understand."

In fact, You Zhu's temperament was the most like You Jin among the younger sisters. Compared with the younger sisters with easy tear ducts, You Zhu gritted her teeth and endured it even when she was beaten black and blue all over the body. Normally, she can help take care of the few younger sisters. So, You Jin felt relatively reassured.

After watching Yue Chang Lu lead the ox cart away, You Zhu continued to hold the sleepy You Luo who continuously rubbed her eyes with one hand and found a shady place to sit down: "Little Eighth, come and sleep next to Elder Sister."

You Luo was so sleepy that her little head kept nodding off. After hearing what Fifth Elder Sister said, she nodded obediently: "En!"

Then she sat on the ground next to You Zhu, laid on her side, and fell asleep after a short while.

You Zhu grabbed a big leaf in her hand and gently fanned You Luo to repel mosquitoes, while watching the grain that was being roasted by the sun on the drying yard in boredom. She was also a little sleepy, but she didn't dare to sleep. If she fell asleep, someone might come to steal their family's grain.
