"Huh? Thirty pounds isn't enough!"
"No, I want fifty pounds."
Seeing this, the people in line behind complained, "Thirty catties isn't enough for you. I remember you grow corn. This year's corn harvest is good. When it's ground into flour, you can make corn cakes. That should be enough to eat."
"Exactly, I think you just want to hoard grain."
The woman was put in an awkward position and stammered, "Fine, thirty jin it is."
Xiao Qiu gave her everything, and she hurriedly left, carrying the rice and other things in her hands.
After she left, the second person came up to buy something.
Xiao Qiu was so busy that she barely had time to breathe. Seeing that she was struggling, Xiang Wanwan offered to help her.
"I'll write it down for you, you go pack your things."
Xiao Qiu looked at Xiang Wanwan gratefully.
The two of them worked together, and it was significantly faster than before.
In this way, everyone worked in an orderly manner, and within a morning, everyone had bought what they wanted.
The convenience store still had a good stock at this time, so there wouldn't be a shortage when people came to buy later.
The convenience store can finally hold on for a few more days.
September brought a bumper corn harvest.
Xiang Wanwan took the lead and began harvesting corn. Standing in the field, she looked around and saw several acres of cornfields. The corn was very tall, the corn leaves were already turning yellow, and the corn stalks were laden with huge ears of corn, which looked very tempting.
"This year's corn harvest is a bumper crop."
"That's right, I reckon my plot of land will yield several hundred kilograms."
"Look at these plump ears. I've never grown such good corn in the countryside. And there are three or four on this one stalk. I really didn't expect this."
Everyone looked at the cornfield, their faces beaming with the joy of harvest.
Xiang Wanwan walked into the field, picked an ear of corn, and found that it was indeed full of plump kernels, even the tip of the ear was covered with kernels.
Lingquan fruit is truly a wonderful thing!
But when she looked up at the corn scattered on the ground, she was troubled again; how was she going to harvest it?
If there were no other people around, she could simply release the spirits and instantly store them all in her space. But with so many people around, she definitely can't cheat!
Xiang Wanwan had a bitter face.
Forget it, I'll collect them slowly!
In contrast, the others did not share Wanwan's emotions; they were all excited because they had finally grown such good crops.
They work very hard.
After working for a while, Xiang Wanwan exclaimed that she couldn't keep going anymore.
"Wanwan, sit down and rest for a while. I'll come and help you after I'm done here."
Aunt Wang kept moving her hands and looked at her.
But how could she let Sister Wang help her? After finishing her work in the fields, Sister Wang still had to go to the pig farm to work.
She secretly got some spiritual spring water, and felt her fatigue disappear instantly. She regained her energy and began to collect the items.
Just as they harvested a few ears of corn, a group of people in military uniforms walked over, led by Lu Jingnian.
Upon approaching, Lu Jingnian turned to the group and said, "Scatter and help with the harvest. Complete the task before nightfall."
"Yes." The unanimous reply stunned the women working in the fields.
A dozen or so young men in military uniforms plunged into the cornfield and began harvesting, their movements clean and efficient.
Lu Jingnian walked over to his wife and said, "Go and rest for a while, I'll take care of it."
What brings you here?
“Farming is already hard work. Since they have nothing to do today, they might as well come and help out the villagers. Consider it a good exercise.”
With the cooperation of the military and civilians, the corn on several acres of land was harvested in a single day.
Xiang Wanwan roughly estimated that all the corn she had harvested today must have weighed several thousand kilograms.
In the second half of the year, everyone will no longer have to worry about food. Even without supplies, they can survive, and thrive. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
