However, thinking about Qiao Liang's subconscious action of protecting her today, Qiao Lei felt that Qiao Liang was not the kind of hopeless brother who only knew how to suck his sister's blood!

In order to prevent Qiao Liang from developing a habit of relying on her, she was also afraid that Qiao Liang would become a parasite that sucked her blood.

Qiao Lei decided to cultivate Qiao Liang's ability to be independent and self-reliant.

They didn’t allow Qiao Liang to eat with them.

So after some sweet talk from Qiao Lei, Qiao Liang agreed not to have dinner with her.

Although he felt that Qiao Lei had changed now, Qiao Lei had always been accommodating and giving in to him at home.

Now not only did she ask him to eat with others, but she also seemed to be a little disgusted with him. He was quite dissatisfied with the current Qiao Lei.

But he also felt that everything Qiao Lei said made sense, and was all for his own good.

He really should go out and carve out a niche for himself, realize his self-worth, and not rely on his family for protection his entire life. He needs to become a man who can stand on his own two feet.

He reluctantly agreed to Qiao Lei's suggestion and found other educated youth to share meals with.

Qiao Lei originally wanted Qiao Liang to have dinner with Lin Shaoyang and the others. It would be beneficial to both Qiao Liang and her if Qiao Liang had a good relationship with Lin Shaoyang and the others.

But Lin Shaoyang immediately pushed the initiative to Liu Yuanda and said, "Liu Yuanda cooks here. He has the final say on meals. If he nods, we have no objection."

Qiao Lei didn't let Qiao Liang ask Liu Yuanda again. When Qiao Lei first arrived, he accused Liu Yuanda of hooliganism.

If he went to see them now, it would be strange if they would be nice to him. They might even take the opportunity to criticize him.

As for Gu Qingqing and the others, it was even simpler to refuse. They had different tastes and the kitchen couldn't accommodate everyone.

In the end, Qiao Liang had no choice but to eat with Tian Mi and the others.

The Tian sisters didn't want to agree at first. If their own sister doesn't take you in to eat with them, there must be something wrong with that person, or he wants to take advantage of them.

But Gao Feng agreed, and the two had no choice. After all, the meals were cooked by Gao Feng, and whoever cooked had the final say.

The wheat harvest began the next day. Qiao Liang, the newly appointed educated youth branch secretary, gave him a day off, but he still had to go to the wheat harvest meeting early in the morning.

There were three tractors parked in the drying yard, one from the village and two from the agricultural machinery station, both of which were 55-ton tractors equipped with mounted harvesters.

It is the kind of harvester that can be laid down directly. After it is laid down, it has to be manually tied up and moved to the thresher for threshing.

But this year the brigade still has two wheat threshers.

These equipments are so advanced, it is worthy of being the granary of our motherland.

In Jiang Yanqiu's hometown in his previous life, until 2008, wheat threshing was entirely done by manpower.

In 2008, due to natural disasters, no one planted wheat. I didn’t expect that the Great Northern Wilderness has been mechanized in this era.

Three tractors and threshers were placed on the drying yard, with big red flowers hanging on them and firecrackers hanging behind them.

There were also horses and cows with big red flowers hanging on them, and they were neatly tied and tied to the front by their owners.

Jiang Yanqiu and the others were afraid to see the commune. The cow suddenly went crazy and everyone ran to stand at the edge.

Many people were trampled to death by mad cattle and horses.

After the wheat harvest mobilization meeting, Party Secretary Wang shouted loudly on the loudspeaker: "In 1974, the wheat harvest of Shanshui Brigade officially begins."

As the team leader waved the red flag in his hand and firecrackers popped, the wheat harvest officially began.

Although there are machines for harvesting, now is the critical moment of "snatching food from the tiger's mouth".

This year's wheat has to be completely dry before it can be harvested. If it is windy or rainy, it will be a big trouble.

So we can't just rely on special machines for harvesting, and we have arranged many people to use sickles to harvest wheat.

This year, all the female educated youth were assigned to pick up wheat ears, mainly those that were not harvested by the harvesters.

The harvesters certainly don't harvest as cleanly as humans, so there's a lot to pick up, and a lot of it falls to the ground during transportation, which is too much for the village's elderly and children to pick up.

Compared to other jobs, this one is incredibly easy except that it involves a lot of walking.

A group of people also brought Xiao Xuehua to work.

Now Xiao Xuehua can speak, but probably has a pronunciation problem. She calls everyone "Dad", "Dad", and "eat", which makes people angry and funny.

But she is still very obedient. Take a mat and drop it on the ground, put her toys on it, and tell her not to crawl out of her shoes. She really won't crawl out and will stay on the mat.

However, there were too many insects and ants in the field, and maybe even snakes. Everyone took turns carrying her to work, but it was too much for one person to carry her for a whole day.

Every day after work, Jiang Yanqiu would use the space to collect the wheat grains that had fallen and those that had been missed. She didn't keep them and put them into the wheat pile in the threshing ground before dark.

There is no shortage of food in her space, and the malt in the space is probably enough for her to eat malt sugar for a lifetime.

It would be a waste for her to collect it. Even if she only collected 300 kilograms, it would be enough food for one person for a year.

The wheat ears are dry this year, and more have fallen than last year. Now most people in the country cannot get enough food.

That day, when Jiang Yanqiu and his friends were picking wheat, they met Yuan Yixuan and the three generations of the Yang family.

Yuan Yixiuan was dressed neatly and looked normal when she was not smiling. But when she smiled, anyone who saw her would think she was a lunatic.

Everyone did not interfere with each other as they were not familiar with each other before. Near noon, a gust of wind suddenly blew past Jiang Yanqiu.

Then I saw Yuan Yixuan already holding little snowflake Zhao Lanlan in her arms and shouting happily, "Baby, Mommy misses you so much. Baby, Mommy misses you so much."

Yuan Yixiuan was crying and laughing, which scared Zhao Lanlan so much that she was about to cry.

Little Snowflake thought Zhao Lanlan was joking with her, and she laughed happily and jumped on Zhao Lanlan's back with her claws and teeth bared.

Zhao Lanlan's small body almost made her fall down.

Everyone rushed forward to help and finally separated Yuan Yixuan and Zhao Lanlan. The three generations of the Yang family, grandparents and grandchildren, also came over and pulled Yuan Yixuan away.

Maybe it was really mother-daughter nature. After Yuan Yixuan was taken away, Xiao Xuehua was still reluctant to let her go and kept shouting "Ah, ah..." angrily.

Seeing Yuan Yixiuan walking further and further away, she actually called out "Mom" several times in a row.

Jiang Yanqiu and the others were so shocked that their mouths couldn't close. Before, they had always asked Xiao Xuehua to call "Mom", "Auntie" and "Auntie", but she just refused to do so and only called "Dad" and "Eat"! They didn't expect that she would actually call Mom now.

Jiang Yanqiu couldn't help but sigh again at the wonder of blood relationship.

Yuan Yixuan was also in tears. She wanted to look back, but Old Lady Yang held her tightly and said, "Don't look back, or all your efforts will be wasted."

She had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow Old Lady Yang.

It was not until she returned home in the evening that Jiang Yanqiu discovered that there was an extra piece of paper in her pocket.

It says: Someone will come to pick up Little Snowflake after the wheat harvest. Don't worry, give Little Snowflake to them then. Thank you for taking such good care of Little Snowflake.

Jiang Yanqiu didn't even know when Yuan Yixuan put the paper into her pocket, she didn't even feel it.

But it seems that the expedition to Jiangnan is going smoothly.
