In the blink of an eye, Zhou Lian was already six months pregnant. The Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth of the eighth lunar month arrived during the busiest part of the autumn harvest.
Before the autumn harvest, Li Xiu had secretly gone into Daqing Mountain again and hunted two wild boars. He sent half a boar to Zhou Lian's family, and the remaining half was split between Eldest Li and Third Brother Li.
Of the other boar, they kept half for themselves. The other half was divided among Ge Ye, Ge Dayu, Sun Ershan's family, and Li Xiu's aunt's family. The old residence, however, acted as if it knew nothing. Ever since that last incident, they'd had no contact.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone who was supposed to work still went to work. Farming families had no such thing as holidays, and this was the busiest time of year. Zhou Lian, with her six-month pregnant belly, carried a large bamboo basket to the edge of the fields to bring Li Xiu his meal.
