Chapter 46 farm activities
While working, her mind wandered, and the fatigue seemed to lessen.
She crouched the entire time, but luckily she was still young. By past seven, she finally finished thinning the sorghum seedlings in the two acres.
This made her feel much relieved. Now, with her improved physical condition due to the Spiritual Spring Water and daily labor, Su Yuanyuan thought she wouldn’t drink the Spiritual Spring Water today and see if she could recover by tomorrow.
Honestly, she didn’t want to rely too much on the Spiritual Spring Water, especially since there’s not a lot of it. However, she still wanted to satisfy her cravings, so she had a beef bowl and then laid comfortably on the kang.
The next day, she checked herself and felt okay. Although her calves were sore, it was still within an acceptable range.
After breakfast and feeding the sheep, she took a sickle and small hoe down to the fields.
Upon reaching the field, Su Yuanyuan felt disheartened. The corn seedlings looked quite robust, but so did the wild grass. It was like a green carpet had been laid out.
The fields she had cleared a few days ago also had some wild grass, but there was significantly less of it comparatively.
Su Yuanyuan resignedly squatted down to work. The areas where she had finished thinning seedlings would wait for her to finish this half acre before using the large hoe to weed. She had customized the hoe handle to be her height, making it much easier to use.
The nearby households started yesterday afternoon. They had larger fields and more workers, with each person taking two rows, pushing forward together.
