After dinner, Li Chenmo and Dong Li returned to the mountains and transported the rest of the sacks. With the illumination of a flashlight and using a cart to transport the sacks, they only needed to make one trip.
They stored the rice in the warehouse in the backyard and went to take a shower. When they were done, Dong Li returned to his room to do his howork while Li Chenmo entered the space with his wife.
Early the next morning, An Xuyuan and the research team had already gone to work before dawn. The germination of the wheat was better than they had expected.
They thought that they could only start planting the winter wheat in early September at the earliest. Unexpectedly, they would be able to plant it tomorrow.
Since this was the first ti their brigade had planted winter wheat and rice in a year, they took this matter seriously. If they were able to divide the ti correctly, they would be able to solve their food shortage problem next year.
After they checked the seeds, An Xuyuan said, "Since the soil and the seeds are ready, we should inform the villagers and start planting tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Hearing this, the staff nodded and said, "I will go inform the team leader and ask him to have a eting with the villagers today."
Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Let's go check the tools and divide the team for planting."
"Okay."
While they went to the warehouse to check the tools, the staff went to inform Han Yuheng. When the sun rose, they heard Comrade Han's voice echoing through the village from the loudspeakers.
"Good morning, comrades. Please pay attention to this announcent."
After a mont of silence, he continued, "Today, we will have a eting at the village hall at five o'clock in the afternoon to discuss the autumn planting. Everyone, please go to the production team's office to register your na to join the working team first."
He repeated the announcent two tis before he turned off the loudspeaker.
When everyone heard the announcent, they were surprised. They thought that they could rest for another month. Unexpectedly, they would start working again in a few days.
Although so people were unhappy with the planting schedule, most people were in a good mood. Early sowing ans early harvest. This way, they don't have to worry about having no food to eat.
At the sa ti, Han Yuheng was on his way to the brigade's office. As the production team leader, he had to report the schedule of their team's planting and harvesting to the brigade.
He didn't know how An Xuyuan did it, as the other production teams were still at the stage of germinating the winter wheat seeds. He had also seen the quality of the seeds and knew that it wouldn't be easy to germinate them.
Thinking about the rumors he had heard from the villagers about the wheat seeds, he muttered to himself, "Did he go to the mountain to find the seeds?"
If that was the case, then this man was truly too brave. Everyone knew that there was a possibility they could find wheat fields in the mountains. But the location of that kind of field would be at the innermost area.
Not to ntion the danger of wild beasts—just the effort to go to that place was already hard to imagine. With the addition of the hard work of harvesting and transporting things, it was several tis harder than harvesting the production team's farmland.
Anyone with a good head wouldn't want to take the risk and do the thankless job. He couldn't understand what An Xuyuan was thinking at all.
After the announcent, the villagers, including Lu Jueyu and her family, went to register their nas.
Since the office was too small to accommodate everyone, Comrade Han moved the tables and chairs to the yard and said, "Everyone, please line up and don't push each other. We will start registering the na."
When they heard his words, they started lining up in front of the tables.
Most of the staff were educated youths—so already married, so still single. But out of the unmarried staff, Comrade Han had the best background and was also good-looking.
So, the villagers lining up at his table were mostly unmarried young won or aunties who wanted to match him with their family's daughters.
When Lu Jueyu and Pan ijia arrived at the production team's office, the yard was crowded, and the lines had already ford all the way to the road.
Seeing this, Pan ijia said with a hint of worry, "Third sister-in-law, how about you take a rest and I line up? When it's our turn, I will call you."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "Second sister-in-law, it's still early, and the temperature is nice. If I feel tired, I will let you know."
Pan ijia observed her for a mont, and when she saw that she was fine, she didn't insist. Although they could do as she suggested, so people would find fault with them. After all, that would be counted as cutting in line.
While the two of them and the surrounding villagers didn't think much about Pan ijia's idea, several female educated youths overheard their conversation.
"How shaless! After marrying a villager, she's now learned their bad habits," one of them said, rolling her eyes.
Hearing her words, another educated youth added sourly, "I don't know what's so good about her. The Li family actually spent all of their family's fortune just to marry her into their family."
When the male educated youths heard their words, they frowned, and one of them said, "Comrade, it's also a bad habit to talk behind other people's backs."
"Comrade, we're not talking about you. Why are you so excited? Do you have feelings toward Pan ijia?" the female educated youth asked.
As soon as she said those words, the male educated youth grew angry.
