Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 756 Autumn Harvest

Old Yang smiled as he looked at Jiang Xinyu, "I came over to have a look."

"If everything’s fine, I’ll go back to work. Call me if you need anything."

Old Yang called over a dozen brothers. "How’s everything going?"

"Not bad, we’re staying at the brigade headquarters. We brought our own food, and Brother Wei even sent us some vegetables."

"Alright, it’s idle in the city, and not safe. Just keep working here peacefully."

Several nodded. They’ve been working with Old Yang for some time now, even Brother Yang came down to avoid things. But they all have families, parents. It’s awkward taking money from Brother Yang for nothing, so when this opportunity came, they certainly won’t refuse it.

"Brother Yang, the twelve of us can only do odd jobs."

"It’s fine. I’ll bring in skilled workers today, and we’ll start building houses tomorrow. Honestly, there’s nothing much to it. Once you’ve learned, we might get a chance to form a construction company in the future."

Everyone nodded with smiles. If someone else said it, they wouldn’t believe it, but if Brother Yang said it, they believe.

"If food runs out, just go find your Brother Wei. For now, you’ll have to work hard on your own. You could hire a woman to cook, but it’s the busy harvest season, no one’s available."

"Brother Yang, we all know how to cook, don’t worry."

"Alright. I’m far from here, so remember, no matter what happens, you can go to your Brother Wei. He’s as good as me. If he needs anything, you must help him wholeheartedly."

"Yes, we understand."

"Good, keep working. They won’t mistreat you."

Before leaving the wheat field, Old Yang spoke briefly with Jiang Xinyu, then went to check the land.

Just in time to see Xiang Dong pull up with corn stalks, Xiang Dong stopped the vehicle and jumped down. "Master Yang."

"Hmm, Xiang Dong, are the corn stalks locked like this?"

"Yes, Master Wei experimented with it. Using a rotary tiller on the leftover roots in the field is really easy."

"Got a way, huh? This speeds things up.

Okay, go on with your work. I’ll take a look around."

"Thanks, Master Yang. Master Wei is in the east field."

"Alright, I know."

As Old Yang strolled around, he observed that the work was being done quite well.

It’s the third day of the big harvest in Li Family Village, and a third of the work seems done.

Moreover, the harvested cornfields have been cleaned out, ready for wheat planting anytime. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

After a round, Old Yang found Wei Kaiyun.

"So, feeling satisfied with this way of life?"

"Haha, it’s alright."

"Didn’t expect you both could handle farm work."

"Did you check out the building site?"

"Yes, I did. It’s going well and pretty fast. Just wanted to let you know, I’m bringing in the skilled workers."

"Don’t bring too few, at least four skilled workers, plus two from the village, twelve odd workers. With six skilled workers, the roof can go up in ten days."

"I haven’t seen the beams and rafters though."

"All prepared, they’re at the carpenter’s place."

"Alright, I’m heading to the city and will come back tonight."

"Go ahead, bring back some meat if you see any."

"Got it."

Old Yang had already spoken with Wang Shulin, so he drove off.

Wang Shulin and Li Yungui were busy tying corn stalks together.

"Haha, having the village chief help us out."

"Get outta here, Old Li, how soon can you start planting wheat?"

"Absolutely in five days. By then, you probably won’t have the time to come look, right?"

"No time indeed, we’re starting our harvest in four days."

"Don’t worry, Old Wang, we’re serious about planting like this."

"Why worry? I’m envious of seeing tractors haul the harvest, but you guys don’t have time for us either."

"It’s tight, two machines at once, one plows and one plants."

"Okay, how soon can you wrap up planting?"

"At least ten days."

"Ten days. Then in half a month we should be done tidying our fields too."

"Old Wang, no worries. Once we finish here, we’ll immediately go to your place. Others can wait until you’re halfway done, then I’ll drive one machine from your village."

"Great, that’s loyal enough."

This year’s corn grew well in your village, and winter wheat will surely be good too. I’m envious."

"Next year will be better. Didn’t your village also reserve a tractor?"

"Yes, it did. But still waiting for a time to pick up the vehicle."

"Just wait, it’s something beyond control."

"Yes, just have to wait.

By the way, I noticed the cotton in your village’s cotton field growing well."

"That’s a test field. In the end, we’ll see what the yield is. If good, we’ll plant more cotton next year."

"If it turns out well, give me some cotton seeds, even just a few. We’ll cultivate them ourselves."

"Alright, no problem."

At noon, Wang Shulin ate at Li Yungui’s place, just flatbread and fried pickled vegetables. No choice, everyone needed to work, Li Xue was busy at the wheat field too.

Lunch was actually prepared by Li Xue when she went home.

"Sorry, Old Wang, I’ll treat you to a meal when the farming season is over."

"It’s already very good. Our village plans to eat communal meals during harvest, with a few women specifically cooking."

"That’s a good idea, I completely forgot," Li Yungui said, slapping his forehead.

After lunch, neither rested; they grabbed sickles and went straight to the fields.

Corn stalks are quite tedious. They have to be bundled together for easy loading and unloading on vehicles. When it’s time for the team’s livestock to chop fodder, it saves effort.

Many elders weren’t resting either. They’ve been constantly working, which is much easier than previous years.

After afternoon labor started, Feifei came over personally. Despite her age, Li Xue often watched over Feifei, worried the little girl might get hurt.

Jiang Xinyu quickly went over to work after putting two little ones to sleep. Right now, everyone was busy, so Li Xue wasn’t able to move forward much.

It was so hectic that even four or five-year-olds got involved. Although they couldn’t do much, they still managed to handle light work within their capacity.

Li Xue had never returned home during the big harvest before. This time, she really experienced the bustling scene of autumn harvest.

It truly was shockingly lively, and she gained insights into village life. It’s so tough; every grain is precious.

Even after harvesting corn, there’s still soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes.

This keeps farmers busy until winter arrives. Farming is incredibly hard.

Though Li Xue had things weighing on her mind, her hands never slowed.

Because she felt embarrassed seeing the children at work, she couldn’t disgrace Dad. She knew she could do it, and her two younger brothers performed exceptionally well.

In fact, Li Hongjun and his brother were captivated by the prospect of mountain excursions post-harvest.
