The captain has been too embarrassed to see anyone recently because of family matters.

Although they were dissatisfied with Wang Yingying, they all had no complaints about the team leader's work. After a quarrel, the team leader promised to get fertilizer this year, and the matter was finally dropped.

"Find a matchmaker and marry the fourth girl off." Captain Wang gave his wife an ultimatum. If she continued to make trouble like this, not only would the family be broken up, but he would also have to give up his position as captain.

Wang Yingying saw her father's furious face and felt very dissatisfied. Yeah, wasn't it like this in her previous life? She married a useless man, and no one in her family cared about her!

She doesn't care. Once she's successful, no one will be able to curry favor with her.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was late September, the bells of autumn harvest rang, and no one discussed the truth behind Wang Yingying's drowning anymore.

During the autumn harvest, the entire brigade, regardless of gender, age or status, as long as they can breathe, have to go to the fields to work, and no one can be lazy.

Ningxia got up early, put on long-sleeved shirt and long pants, tied the cuffs of his pants tightly with ropes, and went out with the educated youth, carrying a water bottle.

The educated youth all carried backpacks on their backs. They could not waste time in the autumn harvest, so most of them took some dry food and ate it in the fields before working hard again.

During normal times, the maximum work points were ten, but during the autumn harvest, the maximum was twelve. Furthermore, those with the highest work points during the autumn harvest could receive an extra two taels of meat from the pig slaughter at the end of the year.

The female comrades pick the corn and the male comrades transport the corn.

Each person had a plot of land to work on, and if they couldn't finish it, they had to work at night. The old educated youth were used to it, but the new educated youth felt their scalps tingling when they saw such a large plot of land.

Finished? Even if you don’t eat or sleep for a whole day and night, you can’t finish it.

Ningxia didn't care about the others and chose a relatively flat piece of land to work on. If she worked more, Ren Jingxiao would have some relief.

Ningxia had no experience, so she planned to dig out the corn stalks and then break them, but she saw that everyone was standing there, breaking the corn directly from the stalks.

She patted her head and said, "Yes, squatting is so tiring!"

The corn stalks were taller than people, but the corn kernels were very small. I don’t know if it was because of the heavy rain or something else.

Ningxia picked the corns from the stalks one by one, and the silk made her body itch terribly. Even though she was fully armed, her neck and wrists were itchy all over.

Not to mention the various squirming insects, Ningxia would throw each one away with her eyes closed. The fields were filled with crying, but the delicate Zhang Yining refused to do it.

In the end, she had to help others transport the corn. Zhang Yining couldn't even carry the baskets of corn, so she just sat on the ground and cried.

Ningxia also wanted to cry, but she held it back!

Why are you crying? It's just corn. She can do it!

When Ren Jingxiao heard the crying of the educated youth, he hurried over. Seeing Ningxia's eyes were red and she was curled up there, he felt heartbroken.

"Don't cry, I'll do it." He wanted to help her wipe her tears, but his hands were too dirty, so he could only look at her in panic.

Ningxia felt so embarrassed. She was just being pretentious and she would adjust herself in a while.

"I'm fine! It's just that the corn silk was too prickly and poked me in the eye without me noticing. That's why I didn't cry."

Did she cry? No, she didn't!

"Okay, okay, you didn't cry. Just rest over there, I'll do it!" Ren Jingxiao saw that she was like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end, so he quickly started to coax her.

"I can do it, you go do your thing first." It would be bad to take a break right after starting work.

Seeing that she was really unwilling, Ren Jingxiao didn't force her. He finished quickly and helped her so that no one could say anything.

Ren Jingxiao returned to the fields as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood. The women next to him couldn't help but sigh: "It's great to be young, so energetic!" Back then, their men were like this too.

Ningxia cheered herself up and then went back to battling the corn. They were just little bugs, full of protein, so wouldn't some people actually enjoy them?

vomit……

Seeing that Ning Zhiqing had vomited, everyone felt embarrassed to criticize her for being slow. After all, she was better than Zhang Zhiqing, who was still crying in the field.

Besides, she already has a partner, how can one be worth two!

When the scorekeepers from each team arrived at the educated youth's plot, they saw half a basket of corn on each of their fields. Their expressions of looking at them as if they were just trash irritated Ningxia.

She treated the corn as the face of a scorer, and seeing the disdainful look on his face, she easily knocked a corn off with a "pop".

At this rate, Ningxia was far ahead of the other female educated youth. By the time Ren Jingxiao came over, she had already broken off two large baskets of corn.

This made her very proud. She looked at Ren Jingxiao with an expression that said, "Come and praise me!"

"That's amazing!" Ren Jingxiao understood what she meant at a glance and praised her sincerely.

The tone was so sincere that Ningxia felt embarrassed.

"Although you are very capable, I prefer to work. Why don't you give this land to me?"

Who said Ren Jingxiao couldn't speak? Seeing what he said, Ningxia opened her mouth, but before she could utter a word of rebuttal, she was already squatting on the ground with Zhang Yining.

Zhang Yining looked at her, then at Ren Jingxiao. She was tired of crying, and the tears she had just held back began to flow uncontrollably again.

Ningxia ate a candy while crying, and it was quite sweet.

When work was over in the morning, none of the educated youth went home. It wasn't that they didn't want to go back and rest, but the work in the fields stopped them.

Except for Ningxia, although she hadn't finished her work, she was not in a hurry because Ren Jingxiao was there in the afternoon.

I went back and made scallion pancakes while the others were away, and also braised pork ribs and stewed a chicken.

Autumn harvest was a grueling process. Although she didn't do much work, she still had to get enough nutrition. When Ren Jingxiao arrived at the backyard, she didn't see the sumptuous meal.
