Chapter 68 Does Ji Jiashu have a lover now?

What many people don’t know is that Li Yiyi is not so kind. She just feels sorry for her. Besides, they will live in the same house in the future, so she just wants to maintain the relationship.

The next day, the busy farming season officially began!

The busy farming season in the 1970s would not let go of anyone who was able to move. From the elderly in their eighties to children as young as three, everyone worked together, facing the loess and backs to the sky. Tens of thousands of busy farming troops were fighting. All government agencies, schools, enterprises and institutions had to take a ten-day wheat holiday to participate in the busy farming season. Since

agricultural mechanization had just started, there were almost no farm machinery, and everything depended on farm tools.

Times are changing. Slogans saying "Women hold up half the sky" can be seen everywhere. Young girls and wives all go into battle with sickles in hand. They are the main force of harvesting, responsible for cutting down all the wheat and tying it up. Men are the main force of transportation, loading the cut wheat onto small wheelbarrows and then transporting it to the wheat field of the production team. The elderly and those with poor health follow behind the carts and help out. Anyway, anyone who can walk has to contribute.

Work on the wheat field must be done by experienced people. Generally, some older people are chosen to do it. The production team usually arranges some work for children and older people, such as delivering tea, checking the field, cutting pigweed, etc. Anyway, they will never be idle.

The busy farming season usually lasts for half a month, and both adults and children will be exhausted, and the rest will be handed over to a few people.

The wheat sent to the wheat field will be harvested, and the harvested grain will be selected with full grains and handed over to the grain transfer station for purchase. After the purchase of grain is completed, enough grain will be kept for next year's planting and collective reserve grain. The rest is the food distributed to the people. Whether they can have enough food this year and how they live depends on the plans of each household, because 80% of the food is harvested during the wheat harvest.

Whether or not you can eat white flour steamed buns depends on whether God likes you to eat rice. If it rains continuously, it will be the most troublesome thing. That is what the common people call a rotten wheat field. The wheat that has been harvested will rot in the warehouse, and the wheat that has been collected will also rot in the wheat field. When encountering such weather, the common people can only sigh and lament.

After the wheat harvest is completed, the things that need to be planted later will be sown, and the busy farming season will come to an end. Only then can adults and children relax for a few days. During

this busy farming season, the male comrades of the Ji family are responsible for transportation, and the female comrades are all responsible for harvesting wheat. However, since Tong Xiayue usually works less, everyone praises her for her delicious cooking, so she was arranged to be responsible for cooking.

Ji Zhiyong is the brigade secretary. He has a lot of work to do during this busy farming season. He takes the team members to inspect everywhere. All aspects must be arranged properly, including those who keep scores, those who are responsible for logistics, those who are responsible for the fields, those who are responsible for transportation,

and those who are responsible for the wheat field. All food is purchased by the brigade and then handed over to Tong Xiayue. Except for Tong Xiayue, most of the people in charge of food are old and in poor health, so they help her. Therefore, her job is not easier than those working outside.

The educated youth team had never seen such a battle. They were shocked to see the crowds of people in the wheat field. They had never done farm work before, so how could they do such heavy farm work right away?

"Captain Fang, we have never done this before. What should we do?"

Fang Zhengzhou was also panicked. It was the first time for him to see such a battle!

He pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay. All female educated youths should go to the places assigned before to help harvest wheat. All male educated youths should follow me and be responsible for transportation and other chores."

Li Yiyi had greeted Fang Zhengzhou before. She asked to be assigned to the wheat field in charge of the Ji family, but she didn't expect that Ji Jiashu was not in the wheat field, but was assigned to the transportation team.

Xu Duoduo was assigned to the fields of Huang Weiwei's family. Although this girl came from the city, she was not careless at all. She had done these jobs before. She would help her relatives in the countryside during the busy farming season every year, so these jobs were nothing to her.

When Li Yiyi first arrived at the wheat fields, Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Qian were quite happy. The educated youth team actually assigned such a beautiful girl to their family. She was white and tender, like a porcelain doll.

But not long after, Zhang Cuihua pulled Zhao Qian to complain: "How do you think they divided the people? This girl can't do anything. She is making things worse by harvesting the wheat like this! Look at the girl that the Huangshan family got. She works so efficiently! She alone can do as much as two people from the Huangshan family!"

Zhao Qian said helplessly: "What can we do? We have a lot of work to do. Why did they give someone who can't do the work to her? Even if my sister-in-law can't do it, she can do better than her!"

Ye Lan saw the two of them muttering to each other and quickly persuaded them: "Stop talking and get to work."

Li Yiyi was far away from them, so she naturally couldn't hear what they said.

But she was also a person who had never worked before. These were too difficult for her, and her mind was not on these. She had originally wanted to come and see Ji Jiashu, but now it seemed hopeless.

On second thought, these people should all be Ji Jiashu's family members, so it would be nice to have a good relationship with them first!

While pretending to work, Li Yiyi moved towards Zhang Cuihua: "Sister, are you Ji Jiashu's sister-in-law?"

Judging from her age, she should be right, it must be his sister-in-law!

Zhang Cuihua was asked this question for no reason and felt strange in her heart: "What's wrong?"

When Li Yiyi heard it, it seemed that her guess was correct. She smiled and said, "Nothing, I just came to the village yesterday and encountered some troubles. Ji Jiashu helped me solve it. I wanted to thank him, and I saw that he was not here today, so I came to say hello to you."

Zhang Cuihua didn't want to waste words with her. There were fewer laborers in the family. Although the production team took his family's situation into consideration this year and made some appropriate adjustments according to the number of people, the task was not easy. In addition, there was a girl who couldn't work. Now there was no time to talk nonsense with her!

Zhang Cuihua said calmly, "Well, their men are in charge of transportation."

Li Yiyi continued to ask, "Well, sister-in-law, I want to ask you, does Ji Jiashu have a lover now?"

Hearing this, Zhang Cuihua put down the work in her hands and stared at Li Yiyi, with a disdainful smile on her lips: "He is married."

Li Yiyi was surprised and said, "What? Married?"

Seeing her so surprised, Zhang Cuihua also wanted to laugh. Why didn't she find out clearly about her lover? Although this girl looks like a doll and is pretty, she is still far behind her own brother and sister.

Although Tong Xiayue lives in the countryside, she has a city girl's face, a standard oval face. Even though her skin is not as white as Li Yiyi's, it is also delicate and fair. She has willow-leaf thin eyebrows and a pair of big eyes. Most importantly, she is a head taller than Li Yiyi! An absolute beauty!

Now no one can compare to Tong Xiayue's weight in the hearts of the Ji family. Where can you find a beautiful, hardworking and money-making girl!
