Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Feng Qingxue planned to visit Wang Jiao once her work was done, and take the opportunity to probe into her background. However, the work that should have been done in winter was delayed until now. To avoid delaying the farming and irrigation, everyone got up early and returned late, exhausting themselves daily. Many women eventually had to join in just to finish the job within a month.

Feng Qingxue felt as if she had stripped off several layers of her skin from exhaustion.

This was the first time she had suffered so much hardship and exhaustion in her two lifetimes.

In the second half of the month, there were so many people working, the food was not enough. The main food changed from plain flour pancakes to wild vegetable buns made with sweet potato and corn flour. Two buns were not enough to satisfy the hunger of those who were exhausting themselves with work, so they could only drink more vegetable soup, causing everyone’s stomachs to rumble while working.

Feng Qingxue, who saved a bun for her sister, managed to sustain herself by eating food from her space in secret.

Did she think she could rest after completing the canal project? How naive.

The farming work of the production team officially kicked off.

The winter snow was thick, nourishing the seedlings in the field which grew robustly. After the snow melted, one could see large tracts of lush greenery, making them think the harvest next year would be great. But after the New Year, not a drop of rain had fallen. Although rain in the spring is as precious as oil, now there was no rain, causing the seedlings to droop.

So, they started irrigating by digging ditches and trenches, and also had to remove the weeds growing among the seedlings.

At this time, there were no pesticides or fertilizers. The crops relied on manure, and the weeds had to be handpicked.
