The days are busy.

On this day, before leaving work, the team leader came to inform everyone to gather at the threshing ground.

When Shen Xiaoxia arrived with the crowd, many people had already gathered in the square.

Zhao Lingling took Han Zhuxin and stood not far away, waving at Shen Xiaoxia.

Shen Xiaoxia walked through the crowd and came to their side.

Zhao Lingling: "Are we going to talk about the autumn harvest?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded. She heard from the aunt in the team that the autumn harvest would be in the next two days and could start at any time.

The three team leaders walked up to the captain, who asked them, "Is everyone here?"

The three team leaders all nodded to indicate that everyone had arrived.

The captain walked to the front of the crowd, faced everyone, and blew a whistle. The noisy villagers heard the whistle and gradually quieted down.

The team leader raised his loudspeaker and began to announce, "Everyone knows that the autumn harvest is about to begin!

This is the most important moment of the year, which affects the food supply for all of us in the coming year!

I believe everyone knows how heavy the task is!

After a year of hard work, the results will depend on this period of time!

I hope everyone will carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue, strive to collect all the food in the shortest possible time, and fight this final battle!

After the harvest, we can distribute the grain. I hope this will be a year of good harvest!

At the same time, I'd like to make it clear in advance that you are not allowed to take leave or be lazy during these days. Anyone caught slacking off will have their work points deducted!

The autumn harvest will officially begin tomorrow. Work will start an hour earlier than usual and there will be no lunch break.

Each family arranges one person to go home early to cook, and the others only have half an hour for lunch. After lunch, everyone continues to work, and the afternoon work ends an hour later than usual!

Apparently everyone was used to it, and the captain's speech did not cause any commotion!

Zhao Lingling had experienced this once last year, so she was relatively calm.

The newly arrived educated youth this year participated in the autumn harvest for the first time. When they heard what the team leader said, they couldn't help but groan inwardly.

For Shen Xiaoxia, although it was hard, it was still acceptable. It was just that getting up early might be a little difficult.

Because there was only half an hour for lunch, Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin discussed with Zhao Lingling that during the autumn harvest period, the four of them would have lunch together, and one person would go back early every day to cook.

It’s not that I don’t want to cook every meal myself so that I can have more time to rest, but the team leader disagrees and agrees that the four of us can cook together. This is the result of the team leader’s compromise!

Thinking that the autumn harvest would start tomorrow, Shen Xiaoxia went to bed early at night.

On the first day of autumn harvest, the first whistle for work sounded before dawn. Shen Xiaoxia did not dare to delay and quickly got up, washed, and made breakfast.

I made a simple dumpling soup and took out a hand-pulled pancake from the space. The intensity of the autumn harvest task is no joke, so I have to eat more.

When the third whistle sounded, it was still dark.

Shen Xiaoxia made an appointment with everyone to go out together. I guess everyone went to bed early last night, and they all looked pretty energetic now.

Everyone gathered at the threshing ground and listened to the team leaders assigning tasks to their respective groups.

On the first day, everyone started harvesting rice.

Shen Xiaoxia took the sickle she was assigned and followed Aunt Guixiang from the same team.

Aunt Guixiang is a good hand at farm work. Shen Xiaoxia saw her bending over, holding a sickle in one hand and the roots of the rice in the other, and cutting the rice with skillful movements.

The rice crops were harvested and neatly stacked at the feet.

The villagers around also bent down, holding the sickle skillfully, holding the rice in one hand and cutting the rice with the other hand.

After harvesting two or three crops in a row, the rice was neatly stacked at the feet.

The entire movement is smooth, swift and powerful, the result of years, even decades, of repeating the same movement countless times.

Shen Xiaoxia looked at them and felt a sense of admiration.

Although they are not industry leaders or big names, they have been able to work in the fields for decades, shedding countless sweat for this land, and have never given up even though they have been tired!

They use their hard-working hands and strong backs to express their deep affection for the land!

They are happy that this land can take root, sprout and grow vigorously, and this is the best reward for them!

Everyone’s vision is simple, pure and beautiful!

Shen Xiaoxia imitated their movements, bending over, holding a sickle, and cutting one crop after another.

The movements look simple, but they are actually not easy. If you are not careful, you can easily hurt yourself. Shen Xiaoxia does not seek speed, but only stability. If she really hurts herself, it will not be worth it!

When the sun came out, the temperature in the fields rose rapidly and everyone was sweating.

Shen Xiaoxia imitated the aunties working in the fields. After cutting for a while, she would squat on the ground, take a breath, and drink some water.

I don’t care whether it’s dirty or not, or whether there are bacteria or something!

I have been bending over and can't bear it any longer.

In each team, the team leader is not only responsible for work, but also for surveillance. You can take a short break, but if you take too long, the whistle will be blown.

At noon, the sun was scorching and everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat.

Shen Xiaoxia tugged at her clothes; they stuck to her body, making her feel uncomfortable.

When the whistle sounded at noon, Shen Xiaoxia slowly straightened up. She was afraid that if she stood up suddenly, she would twist herself.

Put away the sickle and rush back to eat.

Zhao Lingling went home to cook today's lunch.

After returning to the room, he first drank a large glass of water. Shen Xiaoxia had specially cooled the water so that he could drink it whenever he wanted.

After bringing her portion of the meal to the room, Shen Xiaoxia took out a portion of braised pork and a bowl of chicken soup from the space.

She made the chicken soup in her space some time ago when she had some free time.

The autumn harvest was too tiring, so she needed to replenish her energy.

After eating, I didn’t even have time to rest and rushed to work.

In the afternoon, we continued to harvest rice with the main group.

In addition to harvesting the rice, the rice also had to be transported to the threshing ground. Many children came to help, carrying the harvested rice to the edge of the field, and then the team leader arranged for ox carts or manpower to transport it there.

Shen Xiaoxia was also arranged by the team leader to transport the harvested rice to the edge of the field. She ran back and forth several times and was so tired that she was gasping for breath!

While stopping to rest, Shen Xiaoxia suddenly thought, "Relay!"

She was also stupid. How could she forget the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people?

Looking up at the children running around in the fields, Shen Xiaoxia found that every group of children had a leader. She happened to know that Aunt Guixiang’s eldest grandson was one of them, and his nickname was Shitou!

She had been to his house many times before to exchange food, and she had a relationship with him that was as close as several White Rabbit milk candies!

Don’t underestimate the power of these White Rabbit milk candies. Because of those White Rabbit milk candies, Shen Xiaoxia became Shi Tou’s most “valued” friend.

"Shi Tou!" Shen Xiaoxia called out to Shi Tou who was carrying rice towards the field not far away.

Shitou heard someone calling him, so he turned around and looked for a long time. He found out that it was Sister Shen who invited him to have candy, so he went over with the rice in his arms.
