Chapter 266 Daniu Ale is missing
Meng Xiuer shouted from the kitchen: "Breakfast is ready."
Chunzhi also finished cutting the grass for the pigs and stood up to wash her hands.
An Yue saw that Daniu Ale had not come out yet, and wondered if he was too tired from harvesting wheat yesterday and collapsed.
So, An Yue shouted towards their room: "Daniu, Ale, it's time for breakfast!"
“……”No one responded.
An Yue walked towards their room and found that they were no longer home.
She quickly asked Chunzhi: "Chunzhi, have you seen Daniu Ale and the others?"
"No! Miss, what's the matter?" Chunzhi asked back with a puzzled look.
"Danniu and A'er are not in the room. Where did they go?" An Yue was a little worried.
Chunzhi hurried to the toilet door and shouted, but no one responded.
"Haruzhi, can you see if all our sickles are still there?"
Chunzhi suddenly realized it, and she hurried to the chicken coop to check and said, "Miss, there are only two sickles."
After hearing this, An Yue looked at the gate of the courtyard and found that it was just closed.
Suddenly, An Yue's brows slowly relaxed, and she smiled sweetly and said, "I think the two of them went to the wheat field."
Chunzhi asked in disbelief, "Ah? I have been in the yard since I got up, but I didn't see them come out. When did they leave the gate?"
"They must have gotten up earlier than you!"
An Yue smiled and said, then turned to Meng Xiuer and said, "Sister-in-law, Daniu Ale and the others are not at home right now. Please save two meals for them."
"Yeah, okay." Meng Xiuer responded.
After a while, she came out from the kitchen with two large bowls, ready to go to the main hall for breakfast.
……
After breakfast, An Nian got dressed, carried a cloth bag and went to school in town.
Chunzhi and Anyue were in the yard, feeding the livestock and poultry respectively.
At this time, Daniu and Ale walked into the yard carrying two large bundles of wheat.
An Yue smiled and asked, "Daniu Ale, when did you go out?"
Ale replied: "My lady said that we should hurry up to harvest the wheat and bring it home, so we went out quietly at daybreak."
After saying that, the two of them carried the wheat and went directly to the east ear room.
After a while, they came out with bamboo poles.
Meng Xiuer, who was washing clothes, asked with a smile: "Are you two hungry?"
As soon as he asked the question, Daniu's stomach started to growl.
He raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his face, rubbed his stomach with a silly smile, and replied, "Hey, I'm a little hungry."
"Wash your hands quickly. Your meals are on the table in the main hall and the pots are covered." Meng Xiuer said while scrubbing clothes.
After Daniu Ale responded with an "hmm", he took a wooden basin into the kitchen, filled it with warm water, and washed his face and hands.
A'le walked into the main hall, holding a large bowl of food, walked to the low stool under the eaves, sat down, and ate with big mouthfuls.
An Yue, who was mixing chicken feed at the kitchen door, asked with a smile, "Are you two really in a hurry to harvest all the wheat today?"
Ah-le swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "We can definitely finish it today. After we finish eating, we will go to the fields and work until noon, and then we will be able to finish harvesting everything."
"Okay, you two have worked so hard. Oh, by the way, is the food in your bowl enough? If not, I'll boil two more eggs for you."
An Yue was deeply moved when she saw how hard they worked.
When Daniu heard An Yue's question, he hurriedly walked out of the main hall and said, "Enough...enough, a big bowl of food will fill my stomach like a barrel!"
Alemi smiled and said, "Since I followed the young lady to this house, I have never been hungry."
He stood up, patted his belly, and laughed, "Haha... I've gained a lot of weight all over my body!"
Everyone in the yard heard this and started laughing.
Chunzhi, who was feeding the pigs in the pigsty, also responded: "Yes! It is a blessing for the three of us to meet the young lady in this life!"
"But you guys work hard every day!" An Yue said calmly as she stood next to the chicken coop and spread chicken feed.
Chunzhi was cleaning the pigsty and said, "Miss, don't say that. Working is our job."
After saying that, Chunzhi turned around and said to An Yue seriously: "People of our status, no matter where we go, are considered lowly in the eyes of others."
"But only here with you, Miss, can we feel respected and feel the beauty of this world."
An Yue didn't want them to recall the past, so she said, "The hardships we had in the past are all in the past! Let's make a lot of money together in the future."
"Yeah, make a lot of money." Chunzhi cleaned the pigpen, climbed out of the pigpen and turned to respond to An Yue.
Yes! Thinking back carefully, they were all like commodities, available for selection.
Now, I see that they have become normal people, with emotions and feelings just like everyone else.
An Yue was also happy for them, and at the same time felt that her life was more fulfilling and meaningful.
After Ale Daniu finished his meal, Chunzhi cleaned up the kitchen, and the three of them prepared to go to the loess land again.
"Ale Daniu, Chunzhi, you three go first! I need to go to the west end of the village in a while."
Ale picked up the bamboo pole, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, young lady, there is not much wheat left in the field. The three of us can finish harvesting it in two hours at most."
"Well, that's fine. The weather is hot, so don't forget to bring a pot of water to the field." An Yue instructed.
"Okay, let's go now." Chunzhi said to An Yue with a smile, holding a pot of water, then walked out of the yard gate.
After An Yue watched them leave, she turned around and asked Meng Xiu'er, "Sister-in-law, the village chief has called together the villagers to discuss some important matters. How about I go and listen as well?"
"Yueyue, I won't go. There are so many livestock, poultry and silkworms at home, so one person must stay at home."
An Yue came close to Meng Xiu'er, smiled playfully, and asked again: "Sister-in-law, are you really not going?"
Meng Xiuer raised her hand and pointed at the pen, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by An Yue.
"Sister-in-law, just go and listen! This is a major event concerning our village. If you don't want to listen after you go, you can just come back."
Seeing An Yue said so, Meng Xiuer had no choice but to nod.
An Yue and Meng Xiu'er washed clothes together, and after washing they hung them one by one on bamboo poles in the yard to dry.
Meng Xiuer changed her clothes, An Yue carried the backpack, locked the gate of the yard, and the two walked towards the west end of the village.
Along the way, the two men dug herbs as they walked, and soon they arrived at the village chief's house at the west end of the village.
At this time, many villagers had come to the vicinity of the village chief's house. Some gathered in groups of three or five, chatting about trivial matters of their families, while others gathered in groups of seven or eight to complain about the current drought.
An Yue and Meng Xiuer walked straight towards the gate of the village chief's house.
