Chapter 576 - 565: Harvesting Rice
The breakfast was brought back by the system early in the morning. After eating, she asked the pet house system to tell the sea otter to take care of the pet house, and then she headed to the Planting Area.
"Xia Yue, you’re here. Have you had breakfast?" Professor Hao and his team had just started, he saw Xia Yue and asked with a smile.
"I’ve had breakfast. Where is the sickle? I’ll help out." Xia Yue greeted them, then asked.
"There’s one over there. We could finish this two or three-acre field quite quickly even if you didn’t come." Professor Hao pointed at the threshing machine and told her.
"I’m not too busy, so I ought to help out. After all, I’ve been involved in cultivating and planting here, and now I’m taking part in the harvest. That’s seeing things through to the end, isn’t it?" Xia Yue walked over, picked up the sickle, and replied with a smile. She then bent over and started harvesting with them.
"If this batch of hybrid rice wasn’t so significant, I wouldn’t be harvesting it manually because I’m afraid the machine might damage it." Professor Hao said. Harvesting rice was both exhausting and hot, and if the rice leaves were to touch their skin, it could either cause itchiness or cut the skin.
"That’ll work out just fine, then. We can split the work. Professor Hao, you can handle the threshing later. One of them can harvest with me, and the other can assist you. That way, we can get this done faster." Xia Yue suggested with a laugh.
"Alright, let’s get this done quickly." Professor Hao knew that at his age, he couldn’t continue to bend over to harvest. But handling the threshing is manageable.
For now, it was just the four of them. Around nine o’clock, the employees from the Planting Area and the Farming Area, after finishing the vegetable picking and feeding the livestock, also joined in to help with the harvest.
