Riding into the Ditch

After settling the payment of twenty yuan with the locals for Xia Zhihuai and the others, instead of leaving, they drove a small tractor into the adjacent field and plowed the land that Song Qingfeng and Ren Wenzhou had been assigned.

One thing led to another, and soon everyone in each group had greeted this uncle.

After the pleasantries, they would settle the payment once they received the money from the production team.

The land they were working on was mainly for growing vegetables, so the soil was more fertile compared to the fields used for crops. It was also less compacted than the rice paddies that had not yet been flooded.

Xia Zhihuai and Qu Xiunan carried hoes and broke up the large chunks of soil they turned over, leveling the ground. It took them several hours, and just before lunch, they had managed to tidy up all the land.
