Before Wei Zhiying could refuse, Li Chenmo said, "Sister-in-law, just let the children help. It’s good for them to learn how to plant crops and plow the land."
Since they have said so, Wei Zhiying could only smile and said in gratitude, "Then, I will thank everyone in advance."
Li Chenmo and his family sat for another ten minutes before leaving.
After they left, Wei Zhiying went to check the bamboo baskets. As she tried to lift them, she found that the baskets were heavier than she thought.
Knowing that she couldn’t lift the bamboo basket alone, she went to the kitchen to find her son. "Mingze, come over and help Mother move things," she said.
Hearing this, Chen Mingze stopped what he was doing and went to wash his hands.
He was pulling out weeds and clearing stones from the backyard plot. His grandpa was angry that he did this rough job, but after he argued with him, his grandpa finally went into his room angrily. freёweɓnovel.com
He didn’t feel guilty for arguing with his grandpa at all. Now that their family is no longer as wealthy as before, they have to learn how to grow their own food.
Since their household was registered in the Capital, they were not members of the brigade. As non-members, they couldn’t take part in the production team’s work and earn work points. If they didn’t plant their own food, they would starve to death.
While they have money now, it would be used up sooner or later. They have to find a way to survive and couldn’t depend on the meager amount of money they own right now.
After this argument, Father Wei and Mother Wei were unwilling to talk with him, and the cold war started.
Even though he was worried about his grandparents, Chen Mingze didn’t linger his thoughts on that matter.
Now, there is a lot of work to do at home. He wished he could divide himself into several people so he would be able to finish the work before winter.
While his mind was planning his work schedule, he walked to the living room and saw two big bamboo baskets and two smaller bamboo baskets.
Seeing the pattern of the bamboo baskets, he asked, "Mother, did Uncle Li and his family come for a visit just now?"
Hearing this, Wei Zhiying nodded and said, "Mother heard from Dong Li and Dong Huang that you and Yuze have a good relationship with them. Is that true?"
