Wuyang Town, Chenjiaping Village.
Beside the paddy fields, on the narrow ridges no wider than a few dozen centimeters, Jiang Meixian was harvesting the soybeans she planted there with a sickle.
The family only had a little over two acres of land, and the crop they grew just barely sufficed for rations; they definitely couldn't save much extra money!
Most people wouldn't waste even a bit of space on the field ridges, planting vegetables or crops like soybeans or mung beans.
"Meixian, your son Hai, he didn't get into university and is idling around at home, right?"
"Why isn't he seen helping out here? If he doesn't learn how to do fieldwork, what will he rely on to make a living in the future?"
On the field ridges, other people were also busy with farm work. Speaking now was an auntie just a few meters away from Jiang Meixian.
"Aunt Mei, our Hai, he's gone to the county to look for work and make money!"
