Travel back to the 80s to farm

After ten days of drying, the rice is almost done. This year's harvest is good, several hundred kilograms more than in previous years, and everyone is very happy.

Lin Erya said, "It seems like the village is counting the harvest!"

Shen Jing asked: "Why do we need to count the harvest?"

Old Li interrupted, "It's just a total count, then the amount of public grain that needs to be paid is calculated, the rest of the village has to keep some relief grain, and the rest is for the people in the production team to divide the grain according to the public grain! The public grain payment is made after the crops are harvested every quarter of the year!"

Shen Jing asked: "Why didn't I see it when I first arrived?"

Old Li continued to explain: "When you first came, you were not familiar with the village! Only the young and strong people in the village went to make the payment, and they had to be able to carry the sacks!"

Shen Jing hesitated a little: "I want to see the world! I wonder if it's possible?"

Old Li patted his chest and said, "Hey, Jing wants to go see it! I'll leave it to you!"

A few days later, Old Li came to ask Shen Jing to go with him to pay the public grain tax.

As soon as Old Li entered the room, he said, "Jing girl, come with me!"

Teacher Zhang was just taking a break at home: "Old Li, why did you call Jingjing?"

Old Li scratched his ear awkwardly: "Teacher Zhang, hey, I'm here to ask Jing to go with me to pay the public grain! Last time when we were drying the grain, she said she wanted to go see the world."

Shen Jing's face was full of smiles, like a happy little bird, she couldn't wait to run out of the house: "Old Li, here I come!"

Old Li took a closer look and was immediately attracted by Shen Jing's outfit. His eyes lit up.

"Hey, why are you dressed so beautifully today?" Old Li asked curiously.

Shen Jing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, and replied proudly: "Hehehe, this girl is naturally beautiful, do I need to dress up specially?" She shook her hair gently, with a confident light shining in her eyes.

"Hey, Jing girl, paying taxes is a hard job. It's not appropriate for you to wear this. Go change!"

Old Li shook his head. He didn't want her to wear it like this. "She's so pretty. What if she attracts some bad people?"

Shen Jing turned to look at Teacher Zhang, then looked at Old Li: "Oh, okay! I'll change into another one!"

Not long after, Shen Jing came out of the room. Unlike before, she changed into a fresh and elegant floral top. The weather was getting colder, but this dress gave people a warm and comfortable feeling.

Teacher Zhang praised: "Well, we Jingjing look good in anything we wear!"

Shen Jing said coquettishly: "Hehe, Mom! You'll make me proud if you praise me like this!"

Old Li urged, "Okay, Jing girl, don't delay any longer, let's go!"

There are several lines of vehicles in the village, including ox carts, donkey carts, and mule carts, but most of them still need to be pulled by people.

"Shen Jing!" A clear male voice came.

Shen Jing looked in the direction of the voice and felt that the person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.

Old Li quickly pushed the man away: "Why are you messing with our Jing girl again!"

This person still didn't give up: "Shen Jing, I'm Wu Yue!"

"I wrote to your parents last time and told them about your situation. I think you will receive the letter in the next few days!" Wu Yue shouted to Shen Jing.

Old Li was so angry that his face turned red: "Go away! Don't disturb my Jing girl!"

Shen Jing: "..."

Shen Jing's heart was in turmoil: "Do I still have parents in this era?"

Old Li saw Shen Jing's doubts and said, "Jing girl, ignore him! Don't worry, I'm here with you! As for the letter he mentioned, I'll go to the post office to ask in the next few days!"

"Set off!"

Following the order, everyone took action and moved forward towards the grain management office with firm steps.

This grain administration office is located at the edge of the town, surrounded by a quiet and peaceful environment. Its architectural style is simple and elegant, revealing the traces of time. A golden plaque hangs above the gate, with three large characters "Liangguanso" engraved on it, shining brightly.

When the team arrived at the grain management office, the guards at the door immediately came to greet them. After verifying their identities, they opened the door and let everyone in.

As soon as you enter the grain management office, you will be greeted by a strong aroma of grain. The spacious warehouse is filled with various grains and food, such as wheat, rice, corn, etc. These grains are the result of farmers' hard work and are also an important guarantee for national food security.

Here, people can see the busy figures of the staff. Some of them are checking the quality of grain, some are recording data, and some are moving goods. Everyone performs their duties and completes their tasks in an orderly manner.

The entire grain management office is full of vitality and vigor, like a beautiful painting unfolding before our eyes. It not only carries people's yearning for a better life, but also shoulders the responsibility of ensuring the country's grain supply.

Everyone lined up, waiting for the grain to be inspected. Shen Jing felt a little nervous when she saw the people in front of her carrying bags of grain onto the scale.

Old Li turned to Shen Jing and said, "Jing girl, follow me later, and I will lift it onto the scale with you!"

Shen Jing smiled and nodded: "Yeah, okay!"

Finally it was Shen Jing's turn. She carried a bag of grain, which felt heavy.

Old Li said angrily, "Jing girl, I told you I would help you carry it, why did you carry it by yourself?"

Shen Jing's eyes were firm: "It's okay, Old Li! I think I can do it!"

With the help of Old Li, Shen Jing placed the sack in front of the inspector.

The inspector picked up a sampler, inserted it into the bag, and extracted some rice to check the quality. Shen Jing stared at the inspector's expression, fearing that he would hear a bad comment.

"The quality is good, you can weigh it now." The inspector said expressionlessly.

Shen Jing was delighted and quickly put the grain on the scale. After weighing it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh..." Shen Jing let out a long sigh, patted his chest and muttered to himself: "I'm so nervous! I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

Seeing this, Old Li, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but teasing her: "How about it? You've finally broadened your horizons!" He had a faint smile on his face, as if he was already accustomed to Shen Jing's reaction.

Shen Jing took a deep breath to calm herself down and said, "Old Li, today really opened my eyes!" There was a hint of emotion and helplessness in her voice.

Old Li chuckled, a smug look on his face, and seemed quite satisfied with his performance.

He looked at Shen Jing and asked jokingly, "How is it? Do you dare to try again next time?"

Shen Jing answered without hesitation: "No! Never again!" Her tone was firm, and it was obvious that this experience had left a deep impression on her, making her unwilling to try something similar again.

After paying the public grain tax, Shen Jing left the grain station with everyone else. Although she was exhausted and out of breath, she felt that this experience was very meaningful.
