The autumn harvest doesn't actually last very long, at most ten days, and at least a week.

This is unlike the days when individual households were responsible for managing their own land, with only two or three people working on dozens of acres. Now, with more land and more people, along with planning, arrangements, and machinery, the autumn harvest is progressing very well.

For several days in a row, the workload only increased. Jiang Xiucheng and the others quickly got the hang of it and even became proficient. Even Lin Jingshu only had two days of leisurely life sleeping on the hillside before she carefully hid herself in the pig feed gathering team.

She now only accepts transactions of 60 kilograms a day, and she handles the remaining 20 kilograms herself. This way, she's not tired, she still has work to do, and she can earn 9 centimeters.

The older women who worked with her were naturally happy to see their children get some expensive fruit candies from Lin Zhiqing to sweeten their mouths.

After all, these kids are full of energy. If they don't gather pig feed, they'll go off and cause trouble. This way, they can earn some snacks while working, which makes them happy.

Especially since Lin, the educated youth, was a top student from the city. She was knowledgeable and, like a leader of the children, would lead them to gather pig feed while telling them stories. And let me tell you... those stories were quite interesting, and the old women loved listening to them.

Of course, there were also those narrow-minded people who couldn't stand how easily Lin, the educated youth, got nine work points. They said they would report him for cheating, but before they could finish speaking, an old lady next to them spat in their face.

"You even reported him for taking shortcuts? Are you saying that the people in the commune, the educated youth office, and the police station who gave Lin, the educated youth, certificates and banners, were all idiots? And you're the only one who's clever?"

"He brought such great honor to the brigade as soon as he arrived, and you, a gossipy old hag, are spouting nonsense here!"

"Isn't it just jealousy and resentment? Why are you spouting all that nonsense! If you're so capable, why don't you bring back a banner of appreciation yourself? Didn't your family collect the sunflower seeds, peanuts, and two ounces of oil that the advanced brigade awarded you? You took advantage of us and still have to talk sour. Did you feed all that food to the dogs?!"

"I...you!"

The old woman who had been spouting sour remarks was completely defeated. Yun Shu, who was watching the show from a god-like perspective, sighed with admiration and couldn't stop smiling. She even gave the old woman a couple of pats on the back.

Meanwhile, Lin Jingshu, who was still engrossed in gathering pig feed, was completely unaware of the dispute behind her. She didn't even need to suppress one or two "oddballs," and the aura of the leading lady was on full display at this moment.

……

Yun Shu secretly thought that her golden finger must have some kind of halo effect, otherwise why would the autumn harvest in the original text have been completed in eight days?

However, this is a good thing. In the original story, it rained on the eleventh day of the ten-day autumn harvest. If the female lead hadn't reacted quickly, remembered the plot of the TV series from later years, tasted a grain of salt, and judged from the dampness of the salt that it was going to rain heavily, and if Jiang Xiucheng and the original Xie Yunshu and others hadn't testified for her, making some unwilling team members also put away the grain, the harvest of Fengsheng Brigade would probably have been completely ruined.

Now that the autumn harvest is finished a couple of days earlier, and the grain is dried and stored a couple of days earlier, even if it rains on the eleventh day, it won't have much of an impact.

As the final sickle swung down in full view of everyone, the entire Fengsheng Brigade erupted in a tsunami of cheers. The children ran around joyfully in the fields, climbing up corn piles or crawling into stacks of corn stalks, completely unconcerned that their clothes were covered in mud and grass roots.

The adults, unusually, didn't scold the children for being naughty, because they themselves couldn't help but laugh along.

Yun Shu delivered a passionate closing speech over the loudspeaker, and after handing the microphone to the brigade leader, she excitedly added background music. In any case, this autumn harvest can be considered the most difficult task to be accomplished.

The brigade leader delivered a passionate speech, much like last year's, before handing the microphone back to Yun Shu. Yun Shu then took out a weather forecast sheet and prepared a weather forecast with the members of the Fengsheng Brigade.

Hearing that the next two days would be sunny, but the day after tomorrow might rain, the team members didn't even have time to rest. They quickly organized themselves, clearly divided the tasks, and put the harvested grain out to dry in their own yards and the team's threshing ground.

The autumn heat is fierce these days; it can turn a person's face bright red in just a few minutes. They are busy harvesting in the fields and don't even dare to take off their hats and long sleeves. Even if they are sweating profusely and their whole body is soaked, they just drink a few more sips of water to cool down.

They worked tirelessly at the beginning, and they won't be unwilling to work hard for the next couple of days. As long as they turn the grain frequently, it won't take more than two days to dry it properly.

Only when the grain is received into the warehouse can this year's grain be considered truly secured.

……

Fortunately, the original female lead, Lin Jingshu, only possessed a Pinduoduo system and didn't have the precognitive ability to predict the plot like Yun Shu. Therefore, no one questioned why Yun Shu could conclude that it might rain the day after tomorrow; everyone assumed that was what the official document stated.

So it was another two days of hard work, with the adults busy at the threshing ground, but it wasn't as tiring as the autumn harvest. At this time, they had relieved themselves of two-thirds of their labor.

Therefore, some people who feel sorry for their husbands or children who have been working hard for so many days and want to make up for it are planning to go to the mountains together to pick some mushrooms and other mountain delicacies, and kill a chicken so that the whole family can have a good meal.

During this period, Yun Shu always used a god-like perspective to explore the map on Wolf Green Mountain. In addition to marking many treasure locations below the halfway point of the mountain, she also clearly identified how many ferocious beasts were above the halfway point.

It can only be said that Captain Xie's ruthless revenge against the wolf pack that killed people was very effective. Even though Lang Qingshan is rich in resources, the remaining wolves can no longer form a pack.

There were no young, strong wolves left, only two or three thin, lame, and blind old wolves a little above the middle of the back mountain. The real wolf pack must have migrated to another location. Yun Shu even watched these old wolves hunt; they struggled to catch even a rabbit and were frequently bullied by a pack of wild boars.

It seems there aren't many days left, so even if they come up the mountain, it's nothing to fear.

The only troublesome thing is the wild boar herd, the large and strong brown bear, and the Siberian tiger family near the top of the mountain.

A male and female Siberian tiger gave birth to two cubs and are now in need of extra nutrition. Brown bears also need to replenish their nutrients and store fat before hibernation, so they are particularly active during this period and have clashed with wild boar herds twice.

The wild boars were even more troublesome. Unlike domestic pigs, which had lost their wildness, they would only charge around recklessly and were untamed. Every autumn, they were the biggest culprits for stealing grain, even more so than rats and sparrows.

Furthermore, due to its omnivorous nature and ferocious fighting power, it is easy for it to cause injury or death to children or women.

After all, there is a saying among the people to describe the threat level of wild animals to humans: first pigs, second bears, third tigers.
