This year's harvest is exceptionally bountiful; newspapers say the grain produced is enough to feed the people for three years. The newspapers also reported that some areas have achieved yields as high as 5,000 jin per mu (approximately 3,500 kg per hectare).

As a village with advanced revolutionary elements, Xiangyang Village could not lag behind. Even though he was on the front lines of production in the county, village Party secretary Qian Youdong immediately issued orders: Xiangyang Village must keep pace with the advanced brigades and surpass 5,000 jin per mu.

He even specially requested several instructors from the top leaders. After they arrived, they inspected several production teams and gave instructions that the next season's planting depth must be 1 meter per mu, with 100 jin of seeds sown per mu.

Some older farmers also had doubts, muttering among themselves, "Why is the instructor talking in such a mysterious way?"

Our ancestors were all farmers, and we've never heard of tilling the fields by digging ditches!

Upon hearing this, the instructor immediately refuted it and sternly pointed out at the meeting that everyone should firmly believe in the Great Yuejin. He said that the old farmer was clearly a skeptic and a bystander who wanted to drag the PD away and overthrow him!

These words frightened the other villagers so much that they dared not utter another word.

But then another problem arose: only a few hundred kilograms of seeds were left in the entire Xiangyang Village. How could those seeds be enough for hundreds of acres of fertile land?

In order to catch up with the rest of the country, Qian Youdong, who had connections at higher levels, quickly found someone and actually managed to get grain seeds.

Previously, Xie Ming and Xu Chunhua, the women who stayed in the village, rushed to the town to carry back the grain seeds so that they could plant them after the summer harvest.

What could Xie Ming say? He didn't want to say anything.

Now we can only hurry back and find the person, and bring that woman back to the village.

In her past life, Xu Chunhua fell ill and then encountered the Great Leap Forward, the summer harvest, and the launch of satellites, which exhausted her. This time, she also forced herself to go to town to carry seeds.

I never expected him to collapse as soon as he returned to the village. It's such a pity he was not even 50 years old.

As soon as Xie Ming arrived at the village entrance, he saw thick smoke billowing in the sky, indicating that the stove at the end of the village had been lit again.
