Chapter 25: Can't live with it Geng Shu: Live with me, life...

After getting over the fear in her heart, Jiang Youyou was like a new life, no longer afraid of bumping into Jiang Xiuting, and even when Jiang Xiuting wanted to come over to play, she fought back fiercely, using words and actions to express that she had indeed cut off her friendship with Jiang Xiuting.

Jiang Xiuting was poked several times in public, and she was very angry, but she couldn't do anything to Jiang Youyou. She was not easy to deal with now. No matter what occasion she dared to approach her, she would dare to confront her. She was not as easy to talk to and control as before. The summer harvest was coming, and she was really busy and had no time. Jiang Xiuting had to take a break.

When she stopped, Jiang Youyou felt relieved, and at the same time confirmed her previous guess that Jiang Xiuting could not use that strange power anytime and anywhere. Maybe it could only be achieved in certain specific occasions or when certain conditions were met. Otherwise, she would have fallen into Jiang Xiuting's hands long ago.

This way, her psychological burden is much lighter. No one wants to die if they can live. Jiang Youyou plans to find out what Jiang Xiuting's strange golden finger is and how to operate it. Otherwise, it's like there is a time bomb buried around her, and she can't live peacefully.

But she has no time and opportunity to figure it out now, because the summer harvest season has arrived.

Zhuxi production team has a good geographical environment, and rice can be harvested twice a year. Now it is the end of July and the beginning of August, which is the season for harvesting early rice and sowing late rice, also known as "double rush". It is necessary to harvest rice and plant rice seedlings at the same time, and also "rush the weather" because it rains a lot in the south. If the rice is not harvested, dried and stored in the warehouse before the rain, the mature rice ears will be soaked in water and sprouts will grow the next day. Such rice is unqualified.

As a member of the educated youth, Jiang Youyou could not escape this double-strength season, and she could not do easy work like usual. After all, it was one of the most important seasons of the year. Unless she was immobile or a baby, no one in the production team would be lazy. Even if she wanted to do low-work-point work like usual, she would not be given any work, and she would be scolded if she did not do it well.

It can be said that the double-snatching really refreshed Jiang Youyou's understanding of the hard work of farmers. She thought she was tired enough after work on weekdays, but she knew what it meant to race against time when she went to the double-snatching. Not only did she have to go to work an hour earlier every morning, but she also had to work until dark at night. She could only leave work when she could not see clearly. Except for children, people who usually slacked off at this time did not dare to be lazy. Working was like fighting a war.

Moreover, the work during this rush season is based on the claiming system, that is, each person claims a certain amount of land, harvests and threshes the rice on time, and can get a certain amount of work points. This is the time of year when it is easiest to get high work points. Families with many strong laborers have an advantage. They usually form a group and claim a piece of land that can reach the maximum work points per person (for example, the maximum work points for adult male strong laborers are 10 points, and the maximum work points for women are 8 points. If a family has three adult strong laborers and two adult women, their maximum work points are 46 work points, and they can claim a piece of land worth so many work points). As long as the task is completed within today, everyone can get the highest work points, and it is not as difficult to get full points as usual.

Therefore, during the busy farming season, families with more laborers are very likely to earn work points and are very popular, while families with less power, especially those with almost no male laborers, are not wanted even if they team up with other families. Perhaps in some ways, this is also the reason why rural people pursue more children and more blessings.
