After Dragon Boat Festival, it was the season for harvesting wheat.
This year, the wheat fields were a sea of yellow-gold, each ear weighted down heavily, a particularly joyful sight to behold.
Tan Zhenghong had been working at breakneck pace, but the schedule was incredibly tight, and with completion still some way off, he had no choice but to temporarily set aside the embroidery room.
Because they had purchased quite a bit of land this year, he needed to get things organized.
News that the Tan Family were recruiting temporary workers spread, offering a wage of forty-five wen per mu.
However, the temp workers were mainly responsible for harvesting wheat near Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, and due to the distance, they would have to wait until all the wheat was collected before returning, which would take about half a month.
For the farmers, this was no small challenge; being so far from home, if it rained halfway through, they wouldn't be able to make it back.
