Chapter 265 Paying Public Taxes 1

Feng Qingxue did not waste her chance to go out. After sending her things, she went to find Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng confirmed that she was more than two months pregnant but less than three months pregnant. Her pulse was steady, her qi and blood were sufficient, and she was in good condition. At the same time, he also carefully answered various questions she had encountered while studying medical books under the lamp, including the recent delivery.

Before Feng Qingxue left, Wu Zheng found several medical books left by famous gynecologists in the old days and gave them to her.

Among them, there was content about delivery.

Feng Qingxue immediately felt like she had found a treasure.

The current medical level destined her to learn the delivery techniques of the ancients and learn to deal with various problems encountered during childbirth and after childbirth, because delivery methods such as caesarean sections in later generations could not appear in the vast rural areas of this era.

After leaving the house, Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun, who were chatting on the mule cart, said, "Aunt, it's getting late, let's go back."

Father Lu was worried that Feng Qingxue would go out alone, so he asked his two grandsons to accompany her.

However, when Feng Qingxue sent something, they also waited outside the mule cart like now and did not follow her in, which gave Feng Qingxue the opportunity to take food from the backpack. If they followed her, she could only write a letter to thank Hu Ping, but could not send anything.

Having someone accompany you out has its advantages, but it also has its inconveniences.

It is inconvenient to take things home from the space.

Feng Qingxue sighed in her heart. Fortunately, when she told her family who to send things, she doubled the number of things Hu Ping sent, and added some Northeast specialties stored in the space. In addition, she did not dare to eat good food in front of others during the recent busy farming season, so she did not need to take supplies from the space for a while.

No wonder it is called the busy farming season when harvesting crops. It is really busy and there is no time to spare.

Because there is no agricultural machinery, not even a tractor, it depends entirely on manpower and material resources, so there are a lot of corn cobs that have not been threshed after drying in the granary. Even so, everyone's face is still full of smiles.

The high yield and good harvest of corn meant that they didn't have to go hungry, and they were busy and happy.

Wanglou Brigade also planted rice in paddy fields. Their production team had a total of 60 mu of land. Some of the elderly, women and children continued to rub corn, while most people came to harvest rice, tied it into bundles, and transported it to the field to dry. When it was almost dried, they used animals to pull the stone roller to roll it over and over again to separate the rice grains from the straw, picked up the straw, and left the remaining rice grains to continue drying.

Fortunately, before all the grain was stored in the warehouse, there was only a moderate rain.

Because as early as when the sky was cloudy, everyone, men, women, and children went out to collect the grain exposed to the sun on the field. Only the last bit of grain was not collected in time and was drenched by a little rain, which had little impact, so everyone called it luck.

The staple food of Wanglou Brigade was coarse grains, sweet potatoes, and corn, and fine grains were used to pay public grain.

What can't fill the stomach? One pound of fine grain can be exchanged for three or four pounds of coarse grain, and no one is so expensive that they eat fine grains every meal.

The public grain cannot be paid entirely in fine grain, but in a ratio of 7:3.

So, while the old, weak, women and children were still rubbing corn, Wang Zhengguo organized the strong laborers of each production team to pack the rubbed corn kernels, prepared dried sweet potatoes, fresh sweet potatoes and freshly dried rice into sacks and baskets according to the amount of public grain that should be paid per acre, and transported them to the grain management office by mule carts, ox carts, donkey carts, wheelbarrows, flatbed trucks, bicycles, etc.

Feng Qingxue's bicycle was borrowed to load grain.
