Chapter 1089: Autumn Harvest is in Season
Liu Jingxue was carrying a large specially made basket full of grain as she walked along the road leading to the field ridge and the drying dam.
If someone looked closely, they would see that the carrying pole did not fall on her shoulders at all, but was still one or two centimeters away from her shoulders.
This load of food was not carried on her shoulders, but was lifted up by Liu Jingxue using her spiritual power.
Although she is very strong, if she really carries the load on her shoulders, from early morning till the end of the working day, her shoulders will definitely not be able to bear it.
The autumn harvest lasts for more than a month. If you really have to carry the work on your shoulders, even shoulders made of iron will be worn out.
What's more, shoulders made of flesh and blood.
It was also because of the spiritual power that her legs were covered with a layer of spiritual power. During the many days of autumn harvest, from morning to night, Liu Jingxue was able to act like nothing happened.
A few meters in front of her, the little wolfdog possessed by Tuanzi, with a muzzle on its mouth, was leading the way.
After the autumn harvest began, Tuanzi, who had already mastered the method of possession, possessed the well-trained wolfhound and accompanied Liu Jingxue outside the space while she worked in the fields.
Although the little wolf-dog had been trained and would not bite people, Liu Jingxue still put a muzzle on it to avoid panic among the villagers.
The first day that Liu Jingxue brought the little wolfdog to the drying dam, it really caused quite a shock to the production team.
After all, apart from Uncle Ji's family, Liu Jingxue was the second family in the production team to have a dog.
Moreover, the dog she raised was different from Heizi from Uncle Ji's family. Although it looked smaller than Heizi now, it looked much more powerful.
After learning from Liu Jingxue that this was a wolfdog cub, the villagers were really shocked.
After all, wolfdogs are not docile, and only someone as powerful as Liu Jingxue can tame one.
However, when the villagers saw the muzzle on the little wolf-dog's mouth and saw that the little wolf-dog was following Liu Jingxue obediently, they could not help but refrain from asking Liu Jingxue to send the wolf-dog away.
Later, when the villagers saw that the little wolfdog never bared its teeth at the adults and children who came to play with it, and did whatever it was told to do and was very obedient, they were no longer averse to Liu Jingxue keeping it.
He looked up at the sky, then scanned the drying dam with his spiritual sense and found that the old people, children, and pregnant women who were working on the drying dam were already collecting the grain that had been spread out to dry.
Liu Jingxue quickened her pace and walked towards the drying dam.
Since the autumn harvest began, Liu Jingxue, Mr. Wu, Zhou Mingxuan, Zhao Junhao and others have been eating together.
Every day, Old Wu would get off work early and go back to the cowshed to prepare dinner. He would then wait for Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao to get off work and go home, then go around the mountain to the cowshed and start cooking.
As for Liu Jingxue, she would run to the mountain every few days after work, and then get a few pheasants and rabbits raised in the mountains from the space and send them to the cowshed.
The autumn harvest was so hard, but it was not so hard for her. With her spiritual power, she didn't feel tired at all.
However, those few people, even though she fed them with diluted spiritual spring water, spiritual meat, spiritual food, and ginseng chicken soup, still looked exhausted.
If it weren’t for those things, I would probably be like the villagers, extremely dark and thin.
Liu Jingxue had already estimated that the pheasants and rabbits she had sent two days ago would be consumed one a day and would be finished tonight.
After work today, she has to go to the mountains and take the opportunity to get a few more.
After arriving at the drying dam, Liu Jingxue whispered to Mr. Wu that she would go to the mountain after work and go to the cowshed later, so they don't need to worry.
After carrying two more loads of grain, the team leader finally announced the end of work. After Liu Jingxue registered her work points, she carried her empty load and went home.
When Liu Jingxue brought a few live pheasants and rabbits to the cowshed in advance, dinner was already ready and the three were waiting for her to come back to eat together.
Seeing her come in, Zhao Junhao hurriedly stepped forward to take the pheasants and rabbits, sent them to the firewood shed to raise them, and then killed one every day.
"Xiaoxue, go wash your face quickly and get ready for dinner." Zhou Mingxuan called out and went to serve the rice.
When Mr. Wu saw her come back, he went into the kitchen to get her some water.
Liu Jingxue took the basin of clean water, walked to the edge of the yard, began to wash her hands and face, and prepared to eat.
After taking a few bites of food and suppressing their hunger, they finally had time to talk.
“It’s you, Xiaoxue, who still has the energy to go up the mountain after a day’s work.
Look at Mingxuan and Junhao, both grown men, they don't have as much physical strength as you.", Mr. Wu joked.
Worried that the two would feel uncomfortable after hearing this, Liu Jingxue quickly said,
“Grandpa Wu, you know how strong I am. Carrying two or three hundred kilograms of food is nothing to me.
But it’s different for Brother Zhou and Brother Zhao. They don’t have as much strength as I do. After carrying food for a day, they will be exhausted.”
“Besides, it’s not all up to me to go hunting in the mountains this late, there’s lightning.
Soon after I entered the mountain, it was dark inside. If it weren’t for the lightning, I wouldn’t be able to see my prey.”
When Zhao Junhao heard Liu Jingxue mention Lightning, he quickly asked, "Where's Lightning? Why didn't I see it enter the house?"
"Resting in the yard," said Liu Jingxue.
Old Wu shook his head and sighed, "This lightning is really useful to keep. At least it will be a great help for you when you go hunting in the mountains in the future."
"Xiaoxue, after the autumn harvest, when we go into the mountains to prepare bacon for the winter, you have to lend us the lightning?" Zhao Junhao requested.
Liu Jingxue said without hesitation, "No problem."
When she released lightning out of the space, she had already anticipated this day would come, and Tuanzi had already intensively trained on lightning in the space.
After all, Lightning grew up eating spiritual flesh and spiritual food and drinking diluted spiritual spring water. Although it is not a spiritual beast in the world of cultivation, its intelligence is not low.
Now its five senses are very sensitive, and it is very good at tracking and catching prey.
Liu Jingxue estimated that the number of black spots in his family was several times more than that of Uncle Ji's family.
When the time comes, I'll be able to help a lot by following them into the mountains to hunt.
"Autumn harvest is so tiring, Xiaoxue, do you regret rejecting the captain's kindness and not going to college?"
After looking at Liu Jingxue, Zhou Mingxuan asked casually.
In mid-August, after several rounds of screening, the candidates recommended by the Red Star Production Team for college were finally determined.
In the end, the team leader's wish came true and the quota fell on a young villager who graduated from high school in the production team.
At the end of August, he had already registered at Cangzhou Agricultural University with a letter of recommendation and a college admission letter.
After this incident and the words the team leader said on the stage that day, the enthusiasm for going to work has increased a lot among both the educated youth and the villagers who graduated from junior high school and high school.
The educated youth who wanted to compete for the next recommendation to go to university no longer just did what their team leader told them to do when they went to work, but began to learn relevant knowledge about farming.
The villagers in the production team who graduated from junior high school and high school, relying on their educated status, wanted to find jobs in the city, but couldn't find any and rarely worked in the fields, began to go against the norm and work in the fields to earn work points.
The atmosphere in the production team is somewhat better than before.
