Zhou Hu and Yang Heshu were talking, and they got so engrossed in the conversation that they lost track of time. It was only when Old Zhou's family arrived that he remembered he hadn't taken care of business, not even having the chance to check on the condition of his fields.
Yang Heshu also saw Old Zhou leading a string of people over. From a distance, Manbao waved and called out to her parents, making it impossible for him not to know who they were.
Looking over, Yang Heshu realized there really were a lot of people in Manbao's family.
However, Manbao still asked, "Dad, where are Second Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother?"
"They went to plow another piece of land to quicken things up. Why have you all come over? Have you eaten lunch? I don't even know if your sister-in-law has left you any food."
Manbao had just eaten her fill of pastries with Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang and didn't feel hungry, so she said, "I'm not hungry."
