Showing Them Who's Boss

"Big Brother Mu, let me do it."

"No need, no need." Mu Shi dodged slightly and smiled. "I'm strong. These aren't heavy."

Smiling, Hu Man took the hoe from him and said, "Although it's not heavy, it's not comfortable to carry so many things on your body. Since our houses are not far away, let me help you carry one."

"Big Brother Mu, is Little General really going to build the reservoir?"

Mu Shi nodded. "Most likely. The elders all said that things might be bad next year. It's always a good thing to make some preparations in advance."

Hu Man lowered his head and did not say anything. Actually, he did not want to build a reservoir either. It was too tiring. The three of them were originally of about the same size. But now, after going to the military camp for just ten days, it was apparent he had lost a lot of weight, especially when he stood next to his two brothers. When he returned, his wife hugged him and cried all night.
