He grabbed Bai Jiaojiao's hand and whispered, "Why aren't you like this at home? Hmm? You only do this outside because you think I won't dare to discipline you, right?"

"Brother Heng is reluctant to part with it."

Bai Jiaojiao raised her face and acted coquettishly, but Shen Heng dared not look at her anymore, afraid that he would make a fool of himself.

He lowered his voice and said, "Get out of here, I'm getting to work!"

Two male laborers were cutting wheat in front, while the three women were tying it up behind them.

Others who saw it were both surprised and envious.

Shen Heng was originally the best laborer in Shili Village. The slightly cumbersome new tools were easy for him to wield. He wasn't very skilled at first, but now he can harvest six-tenths of an acre in an hour.

Bai Shihai wasn't as capable as Shen Heng. He needed to stop and shake his arms after cutting for a while, but he could still harvest three or four parts, making him more than twice as efficient as the other laborers.

In just one hour, they accomplished as much as they had in the four and a half hours before they got their tools.

Those families with three or five strong laborers couldn't harvest two acres of land in a morning, but this family did it, even with the women only needing to bundle and glean the wheat!

Squatting down to harvest wheat ears is much easier than bending over to cut wheat. Deng Min and Bai Shiqing chatted quietly together: "You see, people who have received more education are different. Back then, my dad wouldn't let me go to school, and I didn't even finish junior high. By the time we finish harvesting the wheat, Manzhi should be in first grade."

Deng Min didn't really like Bai Jiaojiao, but Bai Jiaojiao had been a great help this time, and she wasn't the kind of person who was prejudiced against her.

Bai Shiqing was a bit better than Deng Min, at least she got a junior high school diploma, but she still envied those who went to high school.

He chimed in, "In the future, you won't be able to survive without education. You'll need to be knowledgeable to produce something worthwhile, which is a hundred times better than our hard work!"
