Without experiencing this era firsthand, relying solely on records and hearsay, you can never truly understand what people of this time were thinking.
Of course, you can't truly understand what they've been through, or how they got to where they are today.
A moment of emotion welled up in Jiang Yi's heart, but soon, even the thought of emotion disappeared.
Right now, all she wants is to go faster, even faster!
These wheat crops were saved only because the villagers risked their lives to carry water and irrigate them; they cannot be destroyed by a single rain at the last moment.
The wheat harvest ended around midnight, when Jiang Yi felt completely exhausted.
During that day and night, Jiang Yi moved between the western hills, northern valleys, and eastern fields of Lijia Village, either harvesting wheat or running to get there.
For someone who's never been a couch potato, this is the first time Jiang Yi has ever worked this hard!
Fortunately, all the wheat in Lijia Village had been harvested.
As Jiang Yi dragged her weary body back to the village, raindrops began to fall.
The men who were carrying the wheat ran frantically again, delivering all the wheat back to the village and temporarily storing it in the warehouse.
...
The wheat harvest in Lijia Village was successful, but in most other villages in the area, the wheat was mostly soaked in the rain.
Who could have imagined that this rain would last for a whole day and night, with strong winds blowing down the ripe wheat and soaking it all in the rain.
On days with strong winds and heavy rain, Jiang Yi did not go out.
In the frantic rush to harvest the wheat, her hands were blistered, and her arms were sore and swollen that she could barely lift them.
Even meals required Song Laidi's help to feed him.
However, this effort was worthwhile.
Throughout the entire Lijia Village, everyone who mentions Jiang Dani gives her a thumbs up.
Li Zhengdao even reported Jiang Dani's deeds to the township, wanting to make her a role model.
In these turbulent times, the public needs a role model, a hero.
Jiang Yi found herself right at the center of this storm.
When Li Zhengdao and Women's Director Wang Mancang told Jiang Yi about the instructions and decisions from above, Jiang Yi naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
This honor is very important to her.
In the years to come, she will need such a talisman.
The overall situation is irreversible, but adjustments can be made on a smaller scale.
However, to adjust the situation on this small scale, Jiang Yi needs an identity—an identity that is quite prominent, prestigious, and influential.
And this honor comes at a very opportune time.
Of course, winning this honor means she will have to continue working this hard in the future.
This also means that it's impossible for her to have a salted fish.
But as long as she can live a peaceful and comfortable life in the days to come, Jiang Yi doesn't mind doing more work.
...
Even after the weather cleared up, the village remained very busy.
The wheat needs to be threshed and dried!
The wheat fields also need to be planted with new crops, and the family's private plots also need to be tended to.
Jiang Yi still worked at an exceptionally high level.
When dealing with her own plot of land, Jiang Yi switched to the improved corn seeds that Da Ya had prepared for her, which were high-yield and drought-resistant.
As for the village?
Even with Jiang Yi's abilities, she couldn't pull off such a sleight of hand.
Therefore, the village could only let the existing seeds be planted.
Just as the village was busy with summer planting, a jeep drove into Lijia Village.
The village children rarely saw such a rare sight, and they immediately chased after the jeep, following it all the way to the village committee compound.
