The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 166: That Year

Fu Xiao and an older village woman spent a day boiling two large pots of cooling herbal medicine. Every day before starting work, everyone drank a bowl each. Those with water bottles could also take some to the fields.

The Fu family was covered in dust every day after work, looking exhausted.

Mu Lianshen was equally tired...

Fortunately, his physical condition was good, so high-intensity work was not too much of a challenge for him. Sometimes, he even saw Fu Weibao's hands trembling with fatigue, yet he couldn't rest, only gritting his teeth to finish the work.

It was crucial to harvest the mature crops soon to avoid any risks, and once the grain was collected and public grain was handed over, things would get better. For now, there were still volunteers guarding the fields.

While delivering water, Fu Xiao had once stood on a high vantage point and looked down. The mature crops were golden and beautiful, painting a magnificent autumn scene.

Everyone's faces were glowing with the joy of the harvest.

She liked the villagers of Dashi Village very much; most were kind and simple-hearted. Even though there were a few tricksters, they did not cause any trouble during the harvest. Everyone worked tirelessly.

While making the mint water, she had generously added a few drops of spring water. Her herbal medicine had indeed worked wonders this year; no one fainted from heatstroke during the harvest.

The Fu family's meals over the past few days were also excellent, with meat dishes served at every meal. She even made a nourishing soup every evening, with everyone drinking a bowl before going to rest.

Three days passed just like that, and the grain was all piled up. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before starting work, Fu Weibao happily shouted, "Fellow villagers, just two more busy days and then we'll distribute the grain and money after delivering the public grain!"

The villagers were also very happy, busily packing the grain into bags for storage.

Mu Lianshen somehow managed to get a tractor...

With the tractor's help, the subsequent farming tasks went even more smoothly.

The autumn harvest ended in five days...

This year, Dashi Village was almost the first to arrive at the grain station to deliver the grain.

Early in the morning, the tractor pulled the grain to the grain station's entrance.

The staff at the grain station were familiar faces, and during the grain inspection, they didn't make things difficult. The inspection passed directly.

After the accountant of Dashi Village calculated the money and vouchers, they returned to the village.

After a day of tallying accounts, the money remaining after reserving the village's share was to be distributed among the villagers.

Fu Weibao wasted no time and called a village-wide meeting to start distributing the money and grain according to the labor points...

It was said to be a lively scene...

However, Fu Xiao did not witness it because her holiday had ended...

That afternoon, Mu Lianshen took the two back to the county town's courtyard.

After resting for a while and preparing to go out for dinner, they happened to run into a guard looking for Mu Lianshen.
