After reading the letter, Gu Hua was overwhelmed with emotion and found Wen Qing to discuss the matter.

Gu Hua said: "My parents have a very hard life in northern Jiangsu. It's very cold in winter, and there's a shortage of food. They don't have enough to eat and their health is very poor. I really want to help them improve their current situation."

Wen Qing advised: "The situation has improved now, but it's better to find someone to find out in person."

Gu Hua said hurriedly: "Yes, I will write to them immediately to tell them the news, and then see if I should go back to Songjiang?"

After saying that, he hurried back to his room to write a letter.

Wen Qing knew that these problems were eventually solved in her previous life, but it took 8 to 10 years to solve them. Those who seized the opportunity solved them first and had better work arrangements. The more unfortunate ones were those who solved them late and received no compensation.

Gu Hua's parents quickly replied that they could not leave the farm for the time being, and asked Gu Hua and his brother to go find the leaders and old friends of their previous unit first.

Gu Hua immediately asked for leave and prepared to return to Songjiang in the name of visiting relatives.

Wen Qing asked him how long he planned to stay in Songjiang?

Gu Hua hesitated, "It's hard to tell right now."

Wen Qing took a large bag of dried mushrooms, dried fruits, and several bags of tea, packed them in a large package and handed them to Gu Hua. He took the package, looked at Wen Qing, and said solemnly: "Wen Qing, thank you."

Although both of them had that intention, they never made it clear.

Wen Qing looked at his departing back, feeling a little melancholy.

In mid-October, Xiangyang Brigade began the autumn harvest, starting with rice, and the entire village was mobilized.

Wen Qing also went to harvest the rice and then transported it to the drying dam to dry. Xiangyang Brigade planted more than 800 acres of rice fields, with an average of more than 1 acre per person. Excluding the elderly and children, each person was responsible for 2 to 3 acres of land. Everyone worked overtime and completed the harvest in five days.

The harvested rice is spread out on the drying dam to dry. The female laborers in the village are responsible for guarding the drying dam, turning the rice according to the drying conditions, and driving away the greedy sparrows and mice.

The dried rice is handed over to male laborers for threshing. After removing the rice stalks and debris, the plump and golden rice can be put into the warehouse and wait to be paid as public grain after the corn is harvested.

The educated youth who participated in the autumn harvest were Wen Qing, Luo Yixing, Li Wei, Wu Ying, Chen Zhiqiang, and Wu Qing.

During the autumn harvest, the middle school was on vacation. Wu Qing returned to the village to participate in the harvest, while You Manli asked for leave in advance and went home, as she would not get any grain this year anyway.

After two weeks, the crops were finally harvested. Lin Changsheng organized the male laborers to transport all the public grain to the grain station in Shangyi Town.

Their brigade had a good harvest this year. After paying the public grain tax, they still had 12 kilograms of rice and 18 kilograms of corn left. The whole village was very happy because they got more grain this year.

After the autumn harvest, everyone's labor did not decrease. They plowed the fields, deep-plowed the fields that had just been planted with rice and corn, dried the crops to kill insects, and then replenished fertilizer. After that, they started sowing winter wheat and planting winter vegetables.

Wu Qing returned to school, Wen Qing continued to collect grass for the pigs, Luo Yixing and Wu Ying were often too tired to study at night, and the four-person study group was disbanded.

But Wen Qing closed the door and continued to study. She wanted to get out of this environment, and going to university was her only hope.

Wen Qing also took time to go to the valley and picked wild grapes all over the valley. He spent five days making wine and put it into the space for fermentation.

The first fermentation time of wine is generally about 15 days, during which the skins need to be pressed to allow the effective substances of the skins and grape seeds to soak into the wine. Therefore, Wen Qing needs to enter the space every half a day. Only after the first fermentation is completed will Wen Qing have more time to review.

By November, the weather gradually became colder, with the temperature dropping below 11 degrees at night.

Gu Hua came back, but he did not come back alone. He brought a woman with him, introducing her as his wife. He came back to complete the procedures for returning to the city.

Wen Qing tried hard to smile, maintaining the most natural and peaceful expression. She hurriedly said hello, put on her backpack and walked out of the educated youth site. She couldn't stay there.

Wen Qing walked towards Daqing Mountain with one foot high and one foot low. She had been to this mountain many times, but never before had it become a space that could accommodate her like today.

After Wen Qing entered the forest, she woodenly split the branches and opened up a winding path upward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she came to a large waterfall.

The rumbling sound of water covered the sound of the wind. She stood under the waterfall, with the water falling on her head and face. She told herself that there was no promise between her and Gu Hua. Gu Hua was just helping her with her studies and tutoring. At best, he was just a friend of the educated youth with whom she got along well.

She jumped under the waterfall and let the water hit her body.

She has already opened up the three meridians on the jade piece, and her internal strength is already quite extraordinary. Her mental power or mind can also move a 3-jin stone.

Wen Qing sat cross-legged, his mind sinking into nothingness, and he began to practice one by one according to the meridian lines on the jade piece. An invisible heat current flowed through his body, and finally all external sounds calmed down, while the internal sounds became louder and louder. His eyes became bright, and he felt that he had merged into the universe.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Wen Qing gradually returned to her body. She stood up, walked to the shore step by step, and felt that her cultivation had improved further.

She used all her strength to dry her clothes, then concentrated her mind and moved a large stone in the water and threw it to the shore. She estimated that the stone weighed at least 2 or 300 kilograms. She shook her head and said she still had some strength to spare.

She looked around, and the scenery around her was in her eyes. She found all the medicinal herbs in this forest, and soon she picked seven or eight Ganoderma lucidum, five pieces of Polygonatum sibiricum, and a bunch of Dendrobium.

Carrying the backpack, she walked quickly down the mountain, along the stream flowing down the waterfall, and suddenly found a section of tree trunk buried in the ground beside the stream. The black trunk exposed above the ground was only about one meter long, and the bark was already stuck to the trunk like a stone.

Wen Qing touched the bark, which felt as rough as stone. Wen Qing took out a hoe from the space and dug up the soil near the trunk. She found that this section of the trunk was not short. Part of it was buried deeper and had extended into the stream, with several large stones pressing on it.

Wen Qing moved the stones on the tree trunk and dug for another half an hour before digging out the trunk. She washed it with stream water and found that this section of the trunk was more than 4 meters long and almost 80 centimeters in diameter. The tree had been completely carbonized, even more so than the sunken wood found in Handao Lake last time.

I gently knocked off a piece with a hoe, and put it to my nose. It smelled faintly fragrant. This tree should be a camphor tree.

After digging up this section of the tree, Wen Qing found there was another tree trunk underneath. Wen Qing blocked the stream and let the water flow out from the side, making it easier for her to dig up the soil.

This section of the tree had a larger diameter and was more difficult to dig out. It took Wen Qing two hours to finally dig the tree out of the ground.

Release the blocked water and wash the trunk clean. This section of the tree is 6 meters long and more than 1 meter in diameter.

Wen Qing knocked on the tree trunk, which made a metallic sound. She knocked off a piece of bark and found that the pattern on the trunk underneath was very beautiful. Her heart beat faster. This was an ebony tree of the Phoebe nanmu variety.

After storing the two ebony trees into the space warehouse, Wen Qing went down the mountain at full speed and completed the ten-mile journey in less than half an hour.
