Before leaving, Xu Qinghe made a special trip to Shen the carpenter's house. When she arrived, Shen the carpenter was busy making sickles and hoes.

During the busy farming season, scissors and hoes are the best-selling items. He bought the scissor heads, hoe heads, and iron shovel heads from the blacksmith.

His family and the blacksmith's family in town were brothers-in-law, and the two often worked together to sell things.

As soon as Xu Qinghe arrived, Shen the carpenter's wife hurried over to greet him.

With a concerned look, she asked, "Qinghe, what brings you here? Is something wrong?"

Since receiving guidance from Xu Qinghe, their furniture business has been booming, with bookings already booked until the end of October.

If it weren't for the fact that grain had to be handed over to the imperial court, Shen the carpenter's wife would have preferred to delay collecting the grain for a few days.

Looking at Shen the carpenter's wife's eager expression, Xu Qinghe asked somewhat shyly, "I wanted to ask if you have a small cart at home?"

Upon hearing this, Carpenter Shen's wife quickly replied, "Yes, we just made two. Take a look and see which one you want." With that, she led Xu Qinghe to the side of the courtyard wall.

Sure enough, there were two wheelbarrows next to them, one flat and the other with a bucket.

Without hesitation, Xu Qinghe pointed to the one with the bucket and said, "I want this one. How much?"

Upon hearing this, Shen the carpenter's wife immediately looked disgusted and said, "You come and get it, why would I need money?"

Xu Qinghe looked at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation and said, "I'll take it. Why don't you want it for free?"

Carpenter Shen's wife: "You don't know, ever since my husband Shen learned your method for making cabinets, sales have been incredibly good."

"Originally, Lao Shen and I were thinking of not charging you for your furniture, but you insisted on paying, and we couldn't argue with you about it."

"I was thinking of giving you a share of the profits after I finished working on this, but I haven't even told you yet, and here you are."

"If you really consider me your aunt, then you don't need to pay."

As Xu Qinghe smiled and took out his money, he said, "That won't do. One thing at a time."

At this moment, the carpenter Shen spoke up, "If you insist on paying, I'll refund all the money you owe for your furniture."

Before they made furniture for Xu Qinghe, their family's income was barely enough to make ends meet. But after they made furniture for Xu Qinghe and got new furniture, not only did their business improve, but their family's life also got better.

The second son's wife's family went from being extremely unwilling at the beginning to eagerly pursuing her, all thanks to Xu Qinghe's advice.

Seeing that the head of the family, Carpenter Shen, had said so, Xu Qinghe reluctantly agreed, "Alright then! I'll keep this car."

"If you keep doing this, I'm not coming anymore."

Upon hearing this, Carpenter Shen's wife immediately said anxiously, "That won't do. You have to come no matter who else doesn't."

"I'd like your help with my second son's wedding."

Xu Qinghe chuckled, "Alright, alright, I'll definitely come when the second son gets married."

After leaving Shen the carpenter's house, Xu Qinghe went to the fields. On the way there, she found that many people had already started harvesting grain, just like her.

That's how farming works; the diligent people plant early and harvest early.

The later you plant, the later you harvest. In the Shen family, only Old Man Shen is hardworking, so the harvest is late.

As Xu Qinghe pushed her cart towards the rice field, she ran into Shen Daqiang's wife. Seeing Xu Qinghe pushing her cart to the field so early in the morning, she was somewhat surprised. "Is your rice field ripe already?"

Xu Qinghe smiled and replied, "It's ready."

Shen Daqiang's wife muttered incredulously, "Such good land, your sister-in-law would give it to you?"

Xu Qinghe thought to herself, "She would never share with me. My early maturity is all thanks to myself."

"I don't know either. It was allocated by my father. Maybe it's because I served him well!"

Shen Daqiang's wife couldn't help but secretly give her a thumbs up, "You're awesome!"

"Your father-in-law is still somewhat useful; he didn't show favoritism in this matter."

Xu Qinghe smiled but didn't say much.

After greeting Shen Daqiang's wife, Xu Qinghe went to the field, cut a grain of rice from the edge of the field, rubbed it open, and saw that it was indeed ripe, big, and plump.

Seeing this, Xu Qinghe began to harvest the grain. She had already put on her hat when it arrived, followed by a face mask and arm sleeves. Only after being fully armed did Xu Qinghe begin to harvest the grain.

They cut and threw the pieces into their baskets as they went. Back then, there was no technology, and everything had to be made little by little by themselves.

So the farmers were very tired at this time. Xu Qinghe cut the crops one trip after another. Because he kept bending over, his back was almost unable to straighten up after each trip.

As Xu Qinghe rubbed her lower back, she thought, "If only I had an exchange space."

Exchange it for a harvester, and you can harvest all the grain in this area at once. There's no need to harvest each grain individually.

After filling a basket, Xu Qinghe poured the grains into the truck bed and continued cutting.

Because the wheelbarrow's cargo box is small, it can be filled with just two baskets of grain.

With no other option, Xu Qinghe could only carry a peck of grain and a basket of grain on his back, placing the full basket on top of the grain before carefully walking home.

By this time, many people had already made their way to the fields, and upon seeing the grain Xu Qinghe was carrying in his basket, they couldn't help but praise, "Shen Zhi's family, your grain is excellent! It's so big!"

Xu Qinghe could only smile, "Maybe it was because of the good care it received later."

As they were talking, they ran into Old Man Shen, who was a little worried when he saw that Xu Qinghe had harvested the rice so early.

"Is the grain ready?"

Xu Qinghe stopped and said with a smile, "It's done." As she spoke, Old Man Shen took out an ear of grain and began to rub it with his hands.

Looking at the large, plump grain in his hand, his eyes were filled with disbelief. "Is this really our grain?"

Xu Qinghe: "Yes! It's the plot of land next to Zhang's."

Seeing that her location was correct, Old Man Shen finally believed her a little. "When did our grains become so good?"

You should know that because the soil in their village is poor, the grains they grow are usually of medium or low quality; they have never seen anything this good before.

Xu Qinghe: "Maybe it's because I took good care of you in the later stages."

"I'll come and stroll around the fields tomorrow when I'm done with my work and have nothing else to do."

Although Old Man Shen was somewhat suspicious, he still believed her and went to the land she mentioned as soon as Xu Qinghe left.

Upon arrival, it was indeed found that every single one of them had large, full breasts.

Old Man Shen was even more surprised. This daughter-in-law not only knew how to manage a household, but she also took good care of the crops!

She was even more satisfied with Xu Qinghe.

After staying there for a while, I saw that the branches were full of small birds, all staring intently at the grain.

Old Man Shen originally intended to leave after watching, but now he dared not leave and stayed in the field watching.

Soon, word of Xu Qinghe's good grains spread throughout the village, and Sister-in-law Shen received the news immediately.

He turned around and complained to Brother Shen, "Look, I told you your dad favors the second son's family, but you didn't believe me."

"With so much land, it's not good to give the second son's piece; we have to give him the best one."

"They say they're close to us and will let us take care of them in their old age, but they give all the good things to the second son's family."

"Do you know how much more grain that field can help us harvest?"
