He has an important task tomorrow, and he's urging everyone to go to bed early.

However, Dingxiang completely disagreed.

"Brother Wei, tell me, why are you so good at ruining the atmosphere?"

"Exactly! Did you have to remind us of such a cruel reality at such a pleasant time?!"

Even Xu Ji couldn't handle such a huge psychological gap.

One second you're surrounded by romantic stars, the next you're facing the dreaded autumn harvest.

The difference is enormous.

"Come on, right now you're just experiencing a psychological letdown. Tomorrow you'll know what it means to suffer both mentally and physically."

Zhao Chuan wouldn't say much to the female educated youth.

But he wouldn't hold back with Xu Ji, unleashing a barrage of sarcastic remarks.

"You... fine, you win."

What he said happened to be true, leaving no room for rebuttal.

The autumn harvest is something only those who have experienced it truly understand; it's not only physically demanding but also takes a long time.

If you don't plan your diet properly during the month of autumn harvest, you'll lose weight in less than a week.

Therefore, Wei Sheng was right to tell them to rest early to prepare for the high-intensity work ahead.

"Oh, right, Shen Zhiqing, I forgot to mention before, during the autumn harvest, our start time was moved up to 5 o'clock and our finish time was moved up to 8:30 in the evening."

While Zhao Chuan and Xu Ji were arguing, Wei Sheng suddenly realized that he had only told Shen Mu Ning that the autumn harvest was tomorrow.

I haven't told her about the change in her work hours yet.

She quickly called out to Shen Mu Ning, who was about to get up and go inside to rest, reminding her to be mindful of the time.

"What?!" She was genuinely shocked by this schedule.

After all, this adds up to a full three and a half hours longer than their usual working hours.

"What about lunchtime? What's the lunch break schedule, and how will we eat?"

Although she was initially shocked by the news, she still remembered to ask the key questions.

"Breakfast definitely needs to be made early, the lunch break time is the same, and as for dinner, I can only make it after I finish work."

"However, we can have someone come back half an hour earlier to cook."

Wei Sheng and the others had already discussed it during their meal and decided to stick to the arrangements from previous years.

"Okay, I'll get up earlier." Shen Mu Ning thought about it and realized that this was indeed the only option.

"Ah, Chen Zhiqing, don't you find this kind of schedule hard to endure?"

Seeing her accept it calmly, Zhang Jiayang couldn't believe it.

Thinking back to when he heard the news after work that afternoon, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Oh, of course, He Xiaolan and the fake Lin Siqi had the same reaction.

He looked at Shen Mu Ning, who was so calm but initially a little surprised, and felt very unbalanced.

Compared to them, she, a newly arrived educated youth, was able to remain so calm.

"Um, Zhang Zhiqing, if you don't want to accept it, will the brigade leader change the schedule according to your wishes?"

"Moreover, as far as I know, we have a lot of grain to harvest at this time of year."

"But the weather is unpredictable, so we must bring them back as soon as possible to dry and store them."

"If the grain is not harvested in time or if it is not dried in the rain, it will either rot in the field or become moldy."

Although Shen Mu Ning had never experienced an autumn harvest, and she had always lived in the south.

But even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?

After a little thought, it becomes clear that the brigade's arrangement was definitely aimed at getting the grain into storage as soon as possible.

After all, the grain they had here couldn't just be distributed among the people in the brigade and the educated youth.

Most of it needs to be handed over.

Regardless of the harvest, the amount of grain to be handed over was fixed.

As long as they harvest in time, the surplus will be distributed within the Xinshan Brigade.

In an era when many people went hungry, and even farmers might not have enough to eat after a year of hard work, food was their lifeline.

"Hmm, what you said makes some sense."

Zhang Jiayang simply felt that working more than ten hours a day was a bit tiring for them.

Moreover, in Beijing, he had no shortage of food or clothing, and he really didn't know that the autumn harvest market was like this.

After her explanation, my restless heart gradually calmed down, and I was only thinking about getting up early tomorrow.

"Hmm, I didn't expect that Shen Zhiqing would know so much about the autumn harvest?" Just after the two quieted down, Dingxiang suddenly blurted out this sentence.

She really hadn't expected that Shen Mu Ning, who had previously shown that she couldn't do farm work, would actually know so much.

She only found out about it after the brigade leader and others explained it to her.

The other educated youths who were listening nearby all nodded in agreement when they heard what she said.

They originally thought that Shen Zhiqing would have a hard time accepting such a time arrangement.

After all, they had heard He Xiaolan complain the whole way after the brigade leader announced the autumn harvest schedule at the drying ground.

"Well, I wasn't involved, but I have seen it."

In the original owner's memory, she had returned to the Shen family in the countryside with her father and mother when she was a child.

Although she is small, she doesn't need to participate in the autumn harvest.

But she still brought food and water without fail.

Therefore, they naturally know how hard the autumn harvest is.

They also knew that in order to save time, farmers would eat in the fields.

Compared to them, they certainly cannot reach that level, nor do they go through that kind of hardship.

"Oh." After hearing her explanation, everyone understood why she accepted it so quickly.

"Hey, Shen Zhiqing, would you like to have dinner with us?"

Seeing that the two sides seemed to have nothing more to say, Zhuang Xue, having finished discussing with Wei Sheng, gently asked Shen Mu Ning.

Of course, this wasn't a decision made by the two of them after discussing it.

It was during a meal earlier, when they talked about Shen Mu Ning, that they all felt it was more troublesome for her to cook for herself.

If she's willing, we can bring her on board.

Anyway, it's all cooking in the same pot, so having one more or one less won't make a difference.

Moreover, if she joins, they can form another group, allowing them to rest for an extra day each round.

"Thank you for thinking of me, Sister Xue, but it's alright, I'll just do it myself!"

Shen Mu Ning lowered her head and pondered for a moment, but still rejected Zhuang Xue's suggestion.

After all, she could cheat using her spatial abilities, cooking enough for several meals in one sitting and storing it in the spatial kitchen.

When it's time to eat, just take it out and eat it; you don't even need to heat it up.

Moreover, with the weather so hot right now, she could easily cook in the space when no one is looking.

You can just boil some water on the stove outside.

Anyway, when she cooks, they are all eating inside, and almost no one pays attention to what is happening outside.
