Gu Yunyang didn't say much, picked up the sickle and started working.

Many people are curious.

Gu Yunyang was an educated youth who came from the capital. Although he changed his household registration to the local area, he had never done farm work.

"Can Secretary Gu handle this?"

"I heard that Secretary Gu came from the capital and has never done farm work."

"I've heard that Secretary Gu's farmland is thriving. The sweet potato we planted before, what's called chestnut sweet potato, was grown by Secretary Gu himself using sweet potato seeds he got from outside. The yield is said to be much higher than our brigade's."

"Really? I heard that the chestnuts and sweet potatoes that Secretary Gu brought tasted really good?"

"Of course, everyone who's tried it says it's great."

The conversation has gone off-topic.

Gu Yunyang didn't dare to use his special ability at first, and just used brute force to harvest rice, just like an ordinary person.

He had actually done this kind of farm work in his previous life, but he hadn't done it for many years.

After the end times came, he never did such farm work again.

In that seed cultivation room, all he did was use his supernatural abilities to induce and promote mutations.

As for tasks like planting and harvesting, they are all done by robots.

Gu Yunyang casually moved his hand and found that he was too strong. He almost cut the rice seedling in half and nearly cut his own calf in the process.

He eased up his strength, tried a couple of times, and then successfully started cutting.

Actually, harvesting rice is quite simple. Didn't you see how skillfully the twelve- or thirteen-year-old boys and girls over there were doing it?

The younger ones will be picking up rice ears in the fields.

In any case, apart from some children who were gathering pig feed, everyone else had to participate in the busy farming season.

The hardest part of harvesting rice is having to bend over all the time.

After a while, I felt my entire lower back was tired and sore, and I couldn't continue.

Fortunately, Gu Yunyang was in good physical condition and had enhanced abilities, so he could withstand being cut for several hours.

He had already advanced a great distance in just five minutes of cutting.

The surrounding members of the Red Flag Brigade were all full of praise.

"Secretary Gu is quite capable; he learned it so quickly."

"It seems like no one taught him how to make the cut."

"Does this need to be taught? Secretary Gu is so smart, he can even write speeches, this kind of thing shouldn't be something he can learn at a glance."

"Don't say that. Look at those educated youth over there. Aren't they also high school graduates?"

Gu Yunyang stood up, straightened his back slightly, pretending to rest for a moment, and turned to the group of gossipy team members, saying, "Instead of chatting, let's get some work done. Let's take advantage of the good weather and hurry up and collect the rice to dry. We still have to deliver the grain tax later! Let's not wait for it to rain."

Upon hearing Gu Yunyang's words, the group of gossipy people quickly dispersed and returned to their assigned tasks to begin working.

Fang Xinmei breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she didn't really want to get out of bed either.

She can slack off occasionally, since she doesn't lack the money anyway.

Her father would send money and food from the capital every month, and he even gave her national food coupons, so she didn't have to rely on the few work points she earned in the fields to exchange for food.

However, during the busy farming season, the brigade leader told her that, except for the disabled, no one else could shirk their work.

When Fang Xinmei went to the fields, she was very worried. Looking at the fields full of mud and water, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But the work that needs to be done still needs to be done.

She's gotten used to being pointed at and talked about by others.

Say whatever you want.

However, she still felt a little embarrassed by being pointed at and talked about today, and her face turned slightly red.

Fortunately, Gu Yunyang spoke up and scolded everyone away.

She turned back and gave Gu Yunyang a grateful look, but Gu Yunyang had already lowered his head and continued working.

"Next, let's try using wood-type abilities."
