Chapter 40 Sweet Cane_2
After drinking his fill and smoking a pouch of tobacco, Old Master Lian rose from the ground again.
"Second, you go push the cart," he said.
This meant that it was time to start transporting the harvest home.
Lian Shouyi complied and went to push the flatbed cart. First he cushioned it with sorghum stalks, then heaped it with bundles of sorghum ears. Once he had loaded the cart full, he began to deliver the load home. The other people in the field kept on with their tasks, waiting for Lian Shouyi to return from a run before rotating with the eldest, Lian Shouren, and Erlang. Afterward, it was Lian Shouli's turn, followed by Lian Shouxin.
