Madam Zhou was excited. She had worked in the fields before and would chat with the villagers whenever she had free time. If it did not rain, the villagers carried water from afar so that their crops would not die.
Madam Zhou knew how hard it was for everyone to grow crops with so much labor. Since she knew how hard it was to grow crops, she did not allow her children to waste food, even though her family's conditions had improved.
Although the family had more to eat now, they had to eat whatever Madam Zhou put on the table. She was strict with her sons and grandchildren when it came to eating. That was because she knew the villagers had painstakingly grown each grain of rice.
When harvesting wheat, corn, and peanuts, everyone would go to the fields to pick up the grains that had fallen. Even if it took half a day, people would still gather more food.
