On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Li Shiyue naturally had no idea how Jiang Huai had tricked Li Wangshui and how honestly Li Wangshui had told him everything.

However, in fact, Li Shiyue didn't really care what Jiang Huai was doing in secret.

It didn't matter to Li Shiyue whether he secretly inquired about the situation and recorded what happened in Liujiatun, or whether he was spying on Jiang Huijun and monitoring her and reporting to her afterwards.

As long as he, as a teacher in the school, teaches the children well, and in his spare time is willing to teach the men and women in Liujiatun how to write various documents and how to do accounting, that will be enough.

In Li Shiyue's opinion, every person has his or her own little thoughts, which is really too normal.

As long as it didn't affect her interests, then when she and Liu Tan were still on the same side, what did it matter if Jiang Huai was a spy? Was it important?
not important.

The most important thing now is the autumn harvest!
During the spring ploughing period, those who worked together with Li Shiyue according to her arrangements all understood very well why they had to work together.

Concentrating human and animal power can really improve production efficiency.

They don't understand the word "production efficiency" when you talk to them, but they do understand that they not only finished the work on each field within the time, but also reclaimed more than ten acres of wasteland!

You know, when they first arrived in Liujiatun, the land official said that they didn't have to pay taxes on the wasteland for the first three years!
Even if the wasteland is reclaimed, the harvest in the first three years will not be much, but no matter how little, it is still food!
Even if you can harvest one more bushel of grain from one acre of land, it is still a surplus!

Therefore, those who have experienced spring ploughing on Li Shiyue's side all believe in what Li Shiyue says.

However, Li Youfu and the Li clan members on his eighth uncle's side were somewhat reluctant.

As for the Wang family, they did not show any reluctance.

Old Man Wang, the leader of the Wang family, said, "Since Li Shiyue said so, we have no other choice but to obey.

After a long time, I realized that Li Shiyue was not a bad person. We lived in the same village, and she never forgot about us no matter what happened.

She is a capable person, so let's do what she says."

In short, when it was time for the autumn harvest, all the men, women, young and old in Liujiatun were in place. According to the arrangements made in advance by Li Shiyue, each team took up their respective posts early.

Li Shiyang had already left with the yamen runners and the men who came to serve in the road construction.

The people from Sunjiayao and Zhaoyoujia received their wages a few days ago and returned to their own villages. They also had to be busy with the autumn harvest in their own villages.

Therefore, now everyone living in Liujiatun is from Liujiatun.

The huge drying yard that had been built next to the ancestral hall had been divided into blocks in advance, and the women and children of each family were standing in the block allocated to their family waiting.

There are windmills and stone mills at the north and south corners of the drying yard respectively. The windmills are not very big, and there are three of them placed directly on the land in this corner at intervals.

And that stone mill was really huge. When it was pulled to the drying yard, it took more than ten men working together to install the millstone.

Shitou was the only male in the Li family at home. The sisters Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian went directly to the fields, while Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang were sent to the drying yard by Li Shiyue. Now they were standing on their own land waiting.

However, Yan Jiuniang, who had stayed in the Li family for some time, followed Li Shiyue to work in the fields.

Li Shiyue originally wanted to keep Yan Jiuniang, Li's mother, and Zheng Meiniang to do some lighter work in the drying yard.

For example, three large stoves have been set up on the other side of the drying yard, one for boiling water, one for stewing vegetables, and one for steaming dry rice. Throughout the year, farmers can only have a full meal during the busy farming season and the New Year.

Since we are all working together, it is natural that we eat from a big pot.

Li Shiyue felt that lighting the stove and making sweet soup with hot water was the easiest job in the whole village, so she wanted Yan Jiuniang to do it.

It is called sweet soup, but in fact it is just a little bit of crushed sugar in each bowl, which makes it taste sweet at most.

Li Shiyue originally wanted to add some salt into it, but later Li's mother suggested that it would be better to put more salt into the stew.

"There are people who can't even have a piece of candy all year round. If you add salt to the sweet water, how will it taste?"

Li Shiyue finally listened to his mother and told Erdan's mother, who was cooking, to put more salt in the stew. As a collector of autumn fees, he would lose a lot of salt working under the scorching sun for half a morning, so the salt must be replenished.

Don't let yourself get sick from working so hard just for the autumn harvest.

But Yan Jiuniang was unwilling to do the easy job of making sweet soup and insisted on going to the fields with Li Shiyue.

Li Shiyue is not a person who forces others to listen to her. As long as others do not affect her interests, she will let them do whatever they want.

So, Yan Jiuniang finally followed Li Shiyue and the others to go down to the fields.

Fifty sickles were distributed to fifty people. It was not that Li Shiyue looked down on Yan Jiuniang, but the difference in strength was too obvious. There were really not many women who could learn the same strength as her, Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian, at least Yan Jiuniang could not.

“Even if I give you this knife, you can’t use it. You’ll feel uncomfortable after a few swings.

Here, be good and listen to me. You just stay here with them," Li Shiyue pointed to Third Aunt, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu over there, "work together to load these onto the truck and transport them to the drying yard.

I see that you have already learned how to drive a car. If you feel tired, just go to my mother's place and have a rest. Don't try to be stubborn!

I've been very busy these days and I don't have time to look after you."

Li Shiyue patted Yan Jiuniang on the shoulder and went to the fields with a sickle in hand.

She shouted "Get to work" to the men next to her, then she got down to the field, swung her sickle, and started working!
The power of the collective is great!

After only working for half a morning, those men who were originally reluctant were now squatting in the shade of the drying yard with their bowls in hand and eating. At this moment, they felt that Li Shiyue's idea was really great!
unity is strength!

Li Shiyue has set up an ancient version of the Liujiatun Cooperative. Collective autumn harvest can avoid waste of labor to the greatest extent and significantly increase production efficiency.

The men were lying in the shade, rubbing their round bellies. Suddenly, one of them said, "This is a really good idea."

After a few breaths of silence, a man finally spoke up: "We have already finished so much in just half a morning. If October keeps his promise, I'm afraid we can finish all the land in our village in less than half a month."

"I think the windmill is easy to use. I'm afraid it will take less than half a month to get it."
