Shu Yu turned to face the people and smiled, "Naturally, it would be best if we could find enough people from the village itself, but my father mentioned that it's the busy farming season. He also needs to consider everyone -- it wouldn't be right to have all the uncles abandon their fields to help us."
The crowd suddenly realized, yes, May and June are the busiest months in the fields; where would they find the time?
In the past few days, some households had already started weeding and plowing. Otherwise, if not for that, the Lu family's lively scene at the center of the conversation would have attracted crowds, both inside and outside three layers deep.
The crowd felt somewhat disappointed, as the farm households cared most about their home fields, for good crops lead to good harvests, don't they?
