Travel back to the 80s to farm

Every full grain of rice left the land where it grew, and the men in the team harnessed them to donkey or ox carts and transported them to the spacious field.

Old Li called out to Lin Anbang, who was smoking a pipe under a tree, "Brother Anbang, come and give me a hand!"

Lin Anbang knocked on his pipe and said, "Old Li, what can I do for you?"

"Brother Anbang, come with me to pull back the rice bundles in the field! This is the last load, and brother Anbang just sprained his ankle." Old Li explained.

Lin Anbang stood up and put the pipe on his waist: "Well, good!"

Shen Jinglin, Erya and the others stacked the rice bundles neatly today.

Shen Jing complained: "Erya, this is not a job for humans! They are treating us women like men!"

Lin Erya covered her mouth with her left hand and whispered, "Ah, there's nothing we can do about it! Those who have a good relationship with the captain can just go and slack off!"

Shen Jing was a little dissatisfied: "Oh, this is so unfair!"

Lin Erya sighed: "Ah, it's our fate!"

In one morning, the rice bundles were neatly stacked in rows, like soldiers ready for battle.

Then, someone brought in several extremely sharp choppers and placed them neatly one by one.

Shen Jing had never seen such a scene before: "Erya, what are you doing with the guillotine?"

Lin Erya replied, "It is used to chop rice. Rice grows quite long and is difficult to thresh in the field, so it has to be chopped off!"

Shen Jing stuck out her tongue. She had only seen a guillotine when she watched Justice Bao when she was a child. "Hey, I thought Justice Bao was going to behead someone..."

At this time, the captain's younger brother Lin Weiping shouted, "Everyone, get ready, it's time to cut the rice!"

Then, his wife Shen Erni took the lead, picked up a bundle of rice and placed it on the chopper.

The remaining women also picked up bundles of heavy rice and carefully placed them on the guillotine. The strong men held the handle of the guillotine tightly and swung it down with great force. With a crisp "click" sound, the rice was instantly split into two halves. The half with rice ears remained on the field, while the other half was bare rice roots, which would be piled together.

I don’t know how long I worked, but Shen Jing felt that both of her arms were about to lose feeling, and then she stretched out her body and said, “I’m really going to collapse from exhaustion!”

Lin Erya also echoed: "Me too!"

Shen Jing looked around but didn't see Wang Cailian and Lin Juaner: "Hey, why didn't I see Sister Cailian and the others today?"

Lin Erya slapped her forehead and said, "It seems that the captain asked me to sow wheat seeds! I'm going to plant wheat in the dry fields today!"

Shen Jing finally understood: "Ah? That's it!"

Next, it was time to use the tractor. Lin Jianmin roared into the field with a heavy stone roller tied to the rear of the tractor.

Shen Erni shouted, "Erdan, your uncle said to hurry up and thresh the rice. There is still a lot of rice that needs to be harvested today!"

Lin Jianmin stopped and replied, "I know, Second Auntie!"

So Lin Jianmin drove the tractor around the field. As the tractor moved forward, the stone roller began to roll, crushing the rice pile over and over again.

This process can remove the rice grains from the rice ears without damaging the rice inside. After repeated rolling, almost all the rice grains fall off. People use forks to pick away the straw, and the golden rice grains cover the entire field. At this time, the breeze blows, bringing bursts of rice fragrance.

Shen Jing took a deep breath: "I really like the fragrance of rice!"

Lin Erya was drooling with greed: "Hehe, I just want to eat the delicious rice!"

Shen Jing asked curiously: "Hey, don't you eat it often?"

Lin Erya explained: "How can we eat it often? We usually eat rice cooked with sweet potatoes. It's rare to eat rice porridge! My mother will only cook noodle dumpling soup for me when I'm sick. I can only eat rice when my father comes back."

At this time, Shen Jing realized that in this era, rice and flour were not affordable for everyone, no wonder Teacher Zhang usually cooked sweet potato rice. It turned out that the noodle soup with egg that Teacher Zhang cooked for her was already a very good treatment.

Lin Weiping shouted again: "Everyone, hurry up and turn over and roll it again!"

So everyone started to get busy. Some used bamboo brooms to gently sweep away the impurities on the surface, while others used winnowing baskets to put the grains into sacks.

Children returning from school also came to help. They excitedly picked up the fallen grains and put them into small baskets.

Shen Jing clapped her hands on her arms: "Pfft, I'm covered in straw and my face is covered in dust!"

Lin Erya laughed, "Ahahaha, Shen Jing, your face! Haha..."

Shen Jing touched her face and asked, "What's wrong with my face?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Erya laughed even louder: "Shen Jing, are you really going to make me laugh to death?"

Shen Jing's teeth were the only white parts of her face: "Humph, what are you laughing at?"

Lin Erya laughed loudly: "Your face is all dusty, almost like Justice Bao! Hahahaha..."

Shen Jing ignored her and ran to the pond in the south to wash her face.

When he came back, the rice had been turned over and Lin Jianmin was driving the tractor to thresh the rice again!

As the sun gradually sets, the villagers' faces are filled with the joy of harvest.

Aunt Shen shouted in her signature loud voice with a smile on her face: "This year is such a good harvest! Haha..." Her voice was so loud that it seemed to be heard throughout the entire village.

Shen Erni on the side also quickly echoed: "Yes, yes!" Her face was also filled with joy.

At this time, Aunt Wang interrupted and said, "That's right. We really have to thank Shen Jing this year! When the rice was in bloom, the rice was somehow infected with dwarf disease! If Shen Jing hadn't taught us how to prevent and control it, we might have suffered some losses this year!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone turned their heads and focused their eyes on Shen Jing. Being stared at by so many people, Shen Jing suddenly became a little embarrassed. She scratched her head subconsciously and said shyly: "Hey, don't look at me like that, I'm shy!"

A burst of laughter followed, and a joyful atmosphere filled the air.

This year's harvest is inseparable from everyone's hard work. These heavy rice grains will not only become delicacies on the tables of every household, but also carry their beautiful vision and hope for future life.
