The sun was setting and the sky was growing dark; you could only make out who was approaching if they were nearby. It was at this moment that Xu Chunxi, who had been given a heads-up, arrived in Baizigou pushing a single-wheeled cart.
Unlike Upper Waifang Village, which was right next to the commune headquarters, she could still faintly make out fields teeming with figures even at this hour. Among them were a fair number of the elderly and children.
It was also the wheat harvest season, but because the Xiangyang Team, which her new family belonged to, was well-off, they had bought a tractor. That, in addition to having plenty of horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts, had freed up a great deal of manpower.
In her family—or rather, the Old Shen Family—her parents-in-law didn't have to work in the fields. Even she, outside of the peak farming season, almost always stayed at home to look after her children and do housework.
