The men of Lijia Village have always been the main force in the work, and they are all experts at harvesting wheat.
Previously, men and women worked separately.
They hadn't witnessed Jiang Yi's skillful work firsthand, and although they had heard of her amazing abilities, they simply couldn't believe it.
Let's have a competition!
Jiang Yi is definitely not a coward.
Of course, even if it's a competition, the wheat harvest should not be delayed.
However, the participants were divided into two adjacent wheat fields.
Two men, considered the most capable workers in Lijia Village, were working in one field, while Jiang Yi was working alone in another.
Wasn't it said that Jiang Yi was worth two strong laborers?
Seeing is believing!
Although the villagers weren't watching from the sidelines, everyone was paying close attention to this competition.
Jiang Yi didn't care much. In the morning, after discovering that she worked much faster than others, she slowed down. This was considered equivalent to two full-time laborers. So, in the afternoon's competition, she would definitely have to give it her all.
She wanted to crush those strong, arrogant laborers in the village.
As soon as the competition began, Jiang Yi wielded her sickle and started harvesting wheat in an orderly manner.
With a swift, sweeping motion, the sickle fell, and after cutting a certain amount, Jiang Yi quickly bundled the wheat together.
She didn't deliberately speed up or slow down; she simply performed at about 80% of her potential.
Then, after Jiang Yi finished harvesting the wheat in this field, the two strong men in the adjacent field still had about a third of their wheat left.
Two people lost to one person, and the difference in skill level was not too significant.
"Now, does anyone have any objections?"
Li Zhengdao immediately called over everyone who had been secretly watching the match.
Facts speak louder than words!
Jiang Yi earned twenty work points, while the men in the village accepted their defeat wholeheartedly.
Although the wheat harvest only lasts a few days, it is the time when the village earns the most work points.
Jiang Yi, one person can manage two full laborers.
No, to be precise, Lijia Village only has one super-laborer left, while the men have become seven-tenths laborers, and the women are still half-laborers, just like before.
On the third day of the wheat harvest, dark clouds began to gather in the east, and the weather forecast said it would rain.
Under such circumstances, we must rush to harvest.
The village simply arranged for the women who were too slow at harvesting wheat to return to the village to cook, while the others stayed on the mountain, determined to finish harvesting all the wheat before it rained.
Seeing that the weather was getting out of hand, Li Zhengdao became anxious.
Or rather, the villagers were getting desperate.
Everyone was moving faster, and no one uttered a sound even as their hands got blisters.
After a year of hard work, whether we can eat white flour buns for the New Year depends on this last hurdle.
If we were to fail at this crucial moment, I would feel like dying.
Jiang Yi was also inspired by this atmosphere of unity and determination, and her wheat-cutting speed increased again, allowing her to do the work of three men.
Seeing this, Li Zhengdao immediately told Jiang Yi to only be responsible for cutting the wheat, while someone else would be in charge of bundling it.
Jiang Yi had no objection to this.
In comparison, bundling wheat is indeed a time-consuming task.
As night fell, the villagers did not return home but continued their harvest. The sky was now completely overcast, with no moon or stars in sight.
The villagers simply used flashlights; as long as it didn't rain, they had to harvest the wheat.
Seeing everyone's frenzied reaction, Jiang Yi finally understood how this nation had emerged from the predicament of being in ruins.
