When working in the afternoon, Captain Zhao Youtian told everyone to work harder in the afternoon to harvest the last few spring sweet potatoes and that the lunch supply for tomorrow’s lunch would be adjusted to tonight.

After dinner, not only the autumn harvest group but also the autumn planting group had to work together to slice the sweet potatoes and dry them into potato stems while the weather was good for the next two days.

So, in the afternoon, Yi Qingqing and her colleagues in the canteen quickly gathered together to discuss the arrangements for the afternoon.

“There is still one meal in the evening. Time is limited in the afternoon. It’s too late to dig wild vegetables to make wild vegetable dumplings. Dongmei, later you and Laidi go outside to dig a basket of wild vegetables. Half of the usual amount will be enough. Qingqing and I will peel the sweet potatoes and cook sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge today. This way we can go faster!”

Aunt Guihua made the arrangements.

Making porridge is much faster than kneading wild vegetable dumplings.

After receiving the tasks, they went to do their business.

Aunt Guihua and Yi Qingqing went to the threshing ground and brought back a basket of freshly unearthed sweet potatoes.

“Let’s cook a solid meal this time, as we need to prepare it at night. If we want to eat sweet potatoes later, we can only wait until the wheat stubble and sweet potatoes are harvested and the public grain is paid. Only then will we have food to eat. The food we have now has not been recorded yet!” Aunt Guihua whispered to her.

Yi Qingqing guessed that this was something that everyone knew tacitly.

Every policy has its own countermeasure.

Most of the grain that farmers grow does not end up in their own pockets, but they are unwilling to accept that after working hard for a year, they still have to tighten their belts and live a tight life even though the harvest is good.

So, they can only find ways to have a full meal before the grain is harvested and counted.

After a few days of leisure, the cooking team in the canteen today was almost as busy as those working in the fields outside.

After rushing around, they finally finished preparing dinner before dinner time.

This time, the time was tight and the task was heavy, so after getting their meal, they found a place around the threshing ground to squat and drink porridge.

After Yi Qingqing finished her meal, she also came out with her bowl of porridge.

Everyone was eating here today, so Yi Qingqing and the others didn’t do anything so obvious to serve themselves more food.

Although everyone had speculated before, in the end, they had never seen it in person. If they really brought out a much larger portion of porridge than others and were seen, it would inevitably arouse envy and have a negative impact on their election next year.

So, this time even Sun Laidi knew to restrain herself.

However, before getting their meal, the four of them had already drunk a bowl each and were already half-full.

Yi Qingqing was also relieved. She was really afraid that if she came out with a bowl of porridge that was much more substantial than others, people would gossip about her and ruin her image.

Li Mengxue and the others were all sitting on the ridge eating their meals in a very ungraceful manner. They had been busy in the fields for an entire afternoon, and their clothes were already covered in dust.

They were so tired that they didn’t have much energy to care about their image.

“This sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge is quite delicious.” Li Mengxue was still talking when Yi Qingqing sat down.

She was exhausted and hungry after the afternoon harvest. This simple sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge actually tasted delicious to her.

Today she didn’t have time to go back and open a small stove. She still had to work at night. If she didn’t eat something to fill her stomach, she would probably be exhausted.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a wild vegetable dumpling at night, otherwise, she would have suffered.
