After making several trips, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan felt somewhat exhausted. They locked the wire gate and planned to find a big tree to cool off under.
When they arrived, there were already quite a few people under the tree. Because of the warning from Qinghe Alliance, no one dared to delay and came out to work under the scorching sun.
However, having lived in the city for decades, few of them are capable of doing farm work. They were all exhausted when planting the seeds back then, let alone now.
After all, the weather is cool in spring, and there aren't many mosquitoes. When people get hot, they can take off their clothes and roll up their sleeves without any problems.
But now, it's thirty-seven or thirty-eight degrees Celsius, and we still have to wear long sleeves and trousers, covering ourselves from head to toe so that not a single gap is exposed.
Moreover, not only are mosquitoes swarming in this field, but insects are also running around, and even the sun is lurking, waiting for its chance to tan people until they are charcoal black.
It really wasn't easy!
When Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan sat down under the tree, they didn't attract any attention. After all, there were so many people working around, and everyone came here to rest when they were tired.
Moreover, everyone was wearing masks, so it was impossible to recognize anyone unless you knew them well.
The two sat quietly on the rocks under the tree when they heard a group of aunties arguing and complaining not far away.
"What kind of world is this? After work, we still have to go to the fields. And to make matters worse, there are mosquitoes and locusts everywhere. Is God trying to kill us?"
"Alright, alright. Our Qinghua Kingdom is already pretty good. Look at any other country where people live as comfortably as we do!"
"I'm not saying our Qinghua Kingdom is bad, I just feel wronged."
"Things used to be so much better. All I had to do was go to work every day, I didn't have to farm, and I could eat whatever I wanted. Now, we have money, but we can't buy anything!"
"At least we can still fill our stomachs now. Don't you see how many people starve to death abroad, not to mention those who get sick? We should be content with what we have."
"Alright, alright, honestly, I was just venting and complaining, and you guys all have to try to make me positive. Sigh, never mind that, I'm going to get to work!"
"Haha, that's how Sister Yan should be! Back in the day, Sister Yan was a model worker in our unit!"
"Yes, we should learn from Sister Yan!"
The eldest sister, known as Sister Yan, stood up, dusted herself off, and prepared to return to the fields to continue working.
But before she left, she complained to her group of old girlfriends, which almost made Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan so embarrassed that they wanted to crawl into a hole.
This is what Sister Yan said: "Who the hell was so talented? Why did they come up with the idea of putting up barbed wire fences in the fields? Now I can't even find a harvester..."
As soon as Sister Yan finished speaking, the group of older women burst into laughter. They all knew that Sister Yan was just joking.
However, one older woman joked, "Old lady, if it weren't for the barbed wire, you could really get a harvester for our Qingning Mountain?"
Sister Yan laughed heartily, "Getting a harvester isn't a problem, the key is that it can't climb up Qingning Mountain!"
After saying that, Sister Yan smiled and left. The others continued chatting and laughing together.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan exchanged a glance and laughed. It was their idea for the barbed wire fence that came about.
However, it was approved by most homeowners at the time, otherwise they wouldn't have followed suit and fenced off farmland, or even raised chickens and pigs in it.
However, it must be said that if those farmlands down the mountain could find a harvester or something, they could be harvested in less than half an hour, unlike them, who have to work hard and it takes one or two days.
Moreover, their harvesters harvest corn kernels directly, unlike theirs, which are corn cobs with the husks still on.
Shen Yanming had considered building a road so that agricultural machinery could pass through.
But he remembered that the reason he chose this location on the back of Qingning Mountain was precisely because the transportation wasn't very convenient, and he had to pass through residential areas to get in and out, but there were no safety issues.
If we were to actually build a main road on the back of the mountain, that would be putting the cart before the horse.
Besides, how much farm work can there be on an acre of land? It's just that they don't usually do any work, which is why the pace is so slow.
If it were a farmer, he would probably have finished his work and gone home to rest long ago.
After resting for a while, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiao returned to the field. They had to get the corn home in one go, otherwise they couldn't guarantee they wouldn't have to come back a second time.
Unfortunately, their plans were far from ideal, but their abilities simply didn't allow it.
After the sun set, the two of them harvested all the corn from their field and then transported it back home box by box.
When it came to the last box, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan each carried one side, their steps heavy as they carried the storage box to their front door.
Then the door opened, the box was carried in, the door closed, and the two of them plopped down on the ground, not caring about anything else.
Bi Qiaoan felt like her arms weren't arms and her legs weren't legs.
She was able to hold on until now entirely because of her belief that she didn't want to go to the next day, but unfortunately, that belief collapsed.
All she wants to do right now is lie down and be a couch potato!
After sitting on the ground for a while, Shen Yanming noticed that Bi Qiaoan started to lie down on the ground with her limbs spread out.
Although he was wearing long sleeves and pants and it was the middle of summer so he wouldn't catch a cold, he just didn't want his wife to lie on the ground like that.
I can't quite explain why, it's just an instinctive repulsion.
Shen Yanming couldn't stand up either, so he sat on the ground and moved towards Bi Qiaoan.
Only after lying down and pulling her into his arms did he whisper in her ear, "Let's go into the space bubble and get a good night's sleep."
Bi Qiaoan did not refute, after all, the two of them had been working all day and their clothes were almost soaked with sweat. It was only because they went home to cool off during the hottest part of the day that they did so, otherwise they would definitely have suffered from heatstroke by now.
Once inside the space, the two of them lifted their heavy arms to take off their dirty clothes, and then soaked in the warm bathwater, drifting off to sleep.
To help them recover quickly, Shen Yanming poured a cup of spiritual spring water into the bathtub.
The effects of the spiritual spring water were truly remarkable. My previously sore limbs began to feel less stiff, and my sunburnt pink skin began to regain its fair color.
It was only at this moment that Bi Qiaoan remembered that the two of them still had those little blue and black fruits. Didn't Shen Yanming say that there was a kind of fruit that could quickly restore physical strength after eating it?
Bi Qiaoan covered her face with her hands and said to Shen Yanming, "We're so stupid, we forgot about those magical little fruits."
Shen Yanming was also taken aback. "It seems that some pills can also relieve fatigue."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something.
After Shen Yanming finished speaking to Bi Qiaoan somewhat stiffly, both of them had the same indescribable expression.
So all that suffering was for nothing? That's really heartbreaking...
