Suddenly, someone from next door shouted, “Dagui, Dagui, are you asleep? If you’re not asleep, come help carry the rice buckets!”

Xue Dagui, who had gone to bed long ago, was snoring loudly. Xue Sanfu didn’t help to pass on the message but instead strode to the neighbor’s house to help carry the rice buckets.

Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Wufu followed suit, but since they couldn’t help, they just stood aside and watched.

Tomorrow, every household would be rushing to harvest the early rice, so the rice buckets were used for harvesting the rice.

The neighbor’s rice bucket was a little big, and the yard door was a little small. He had to try his best to make the rice bucket lean as much as possible to get it out of the yard.

This was to be placed outside the courtyard so that it could be carried to the paddy field to be used for farming tomorrow.

As long as they left the courtyard, it would be easy.

The problem was that it was now stuck at the entrance of the courtyard.

Xue Sanfu was tall and strong. With his help and the help of the neighbors, it didn’t take long for them to move the rice bucket out of the yard.

After doing this favor, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Xue Sanfu, and Xue Wufu went home.

In the evening, their own rice buckets had been dug out from under the shed where they kept firewood. Although their family had hired people to help with the early and late rice harvesting, they had to provide the rice buckets, carrying poles, and husks. Others did not have as many as them.

At first, they were supposed to provide lunch, but because their family was busy, they could not make lunch for so many people at noon. So, they made an agreement with those people that they would be paid a little more every day in exchange for no lunch. Even if those people were from other villages, they were not far away. It was not troublesome to go home for lunch, so they happily agreed.

The next day, the sound of rice being harvested could be heard at dawn. By the time Jiang Yue had her breakfast, the sound of rice being harvested was everywhere.

Their family’s paddies, husks, and other things had been carried and picked away by the people who helped early in the morning.

Because everyone in the village was busy fighting for a spot, everyone got up earlier than usual, and everyone was extremely busy.

Sifu had gone to town to sell ice again after breakfast. He had also brought Shao Shuting’s letter to inform the Inn that he was safe. It was estimated that Sifu would deliver it to Quanping Inn after he arrived in town.

After washing up in the morning, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan boiled the medicine that Shao Shuting had taken in the morning. They would deliver the medicine to Shao Shuting when they delivered breakfast later.

The strawberries, tomatoes, and watermelons that would be delivered to the town today hadn’t been picked yet. After breakfast, they delivered breakfast to Shao Shuting and fed him medicine. Then, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and their two relatives went to the mountain to harvest the crops.

It didn’t take long, only about an hour.

When they were standing on the hill, they could clearly see the scene of everyone fighting to harvest the early rice.

As far as the eye could see, in the golden rice fields, people were busy harvesting everywhere. Some were harvesting rice, some were plowing the rice in the rice buckets, and some were carrying the good rice in the paddy field, carrying it back to the paddy field to dry it. Although it was not a bumper harvest, it was still a harvest. It was not particularly bad and was still okay. Therefore, although everyone was sweating profusely and working very hard, and the scorching sun had made their faces red, all of them had joy on their faces.

These were all sources of income and food.

After coming back from the mountain, Jiang Yue saw that the vegetables weren’t home yet, so she went to the paddy field with Xue Yan to help dry the rice.
