Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

Xue Bingbing was so free in the morning that she could take a nap, but from the afternoon to the evening she was extremely busy, as all the grain harvested today needed to be stored away.

Seeing that Le Qi and Le Yao looked disheveled, Liu Xiangyang told them to go back and make something to eat, then take a hot bath to relax, since they would be tired again tomorrow.

Liu Xiangyang stayed with Xue Bingbing until 10 o'clock before completing the registration and storage of all the grain.

Xue Bingbing was already feeling unwell due to her period, and the fact that it was so late made Liu Xiangyang feel terrible. When they found a secluded place, he held Xue Bingbing in his arms like a baby.

Xue Bingbing: "Liu Xiangyang, you're so good to me. You're the second person in my life to be good to me."

"You are my woman, if I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?"

Xue Bingbing used both hands to pull her body upwards, hugged Liu Xiangyang's head, and kissed him passionately. Liu Xiangyang responded gently, and the two walked and kissed, Xue Bingbing becoming emotional.

"This damn 'Auntie's' period, it couldn't have come at the worst possible time. I want you to fuck me right now."

"I'll just have to bear with it for now. I won't let you off the hook until after the autumn harvest."

Xue Bingbing felt the heat close to her abdomen: "How about I use the method you taught me last time?"

"I can still hold back. Don't overthink it. Let's talk about it after the autumn harvest."

Liu Xiangyang carried Xue Bingbing all the way to the front door before putting her down. There, he saw the two sisters, Le Qi and Le Yao, sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) waiting for them after they had finished bathing.

Leqi: "Liu Xiangyang, Bingbing, would you like to take a shower first or eat something first?"

Liu Xiangyang said, "Let's eat first. You two should go back and rest. You'll have to get up before dawn tomorrow."

Leqi: "I've boiled hot water for you. Take a hot shower after you finish eating."

The two of them couldn't hold on any longer, so they went back to rest without saying much.

Xue Bingbing was full after eating one steamed bun, so she went to take a shower first. She waited until Liu Xiangyang finished eating and took a shower before the two of them came out together.

……

In the following days, everyone was busy with the process of harvesting, drying, and storing the produce. There were no major incidents during this time, but minor issues occurred from time to time.

It was mostly done by educated youth, both old and new, and several people had their work points deducted.

There was another piece of good news for Liu Xiangyang: his two rabbits finally gave birth to eight rabbits, five of which were females. His rabbit-raising project could finally begin.

The next few days were filled with various processes of threshing, dehulling, threshing, winnowing, drying, and packing for storage.

These past few days everyone has been working in the drying yard, taking advantage of the remaining sunshine to dry all kinds of grains and quickly put them into storage.

At this time, the village stopped providing communal meals, and everyone had to go home and cook for themselves. After the four of them finished eating, the other three said they needed to rest for a while, so Liu Xiangyang had to go home.

As soon as I pushed open the courtyard gate, I saw Jiang Xiaowen and He Xiaoqin walking out.

"Liu Xiangyang, we just finished eating, and we fed you the rabbit too. We're going to lie down for a bit."

After another ten days of intense labor, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the last bag of grain was put into storage. They had finally managed to harvest all the grain before the weather turned bad.

For the villagers, all that was left was to hand over the grain and then wait for their share.

The older educated youth were alright; their faces showed the same joy of harvest as the villagers. But the new educated youth were in a much worse state; they all sat on the ground listlessly, as if their souls had been taken away.

All the new female educated youth except Bai Jie cried. Even Zuo Qingqing, who kept her composure and didn't complain, couldn't hold back her tears once she relaxed.

Liu Xiangyang didn't feel physically tired and felt he could hold on for another month, but he couldn't withstand the long-term psychological pressure. He was constantly worried about sudden weather changes, such as frost or snow.

Village Chief Zhang then told everyone that they could rest for a few days, and that the grain would be distributed to them after the autumn harvest was handed over.

Everyone yelled and dispersed, each going home to their own mother.

The village office will be busy for several more days, counting how many work points each person has, how much money and coupons they will receive after the autumn grain is handed over, and the various expenses of the village next year.

The villagers and the educated youth didn't care about anything else; they all rubbed their backs and supported their legs as they walked home.

The men were talking about going into the mountains to set traps and find people to drink with before it snowed, while the women were talking about where to gather firewood, mountain produce, and wild vegetables.

The former educated youth were looking forward to how they could improve their lives and treat themselves after the money and grain were distributed.

Liu Xiangyang did the same. On the way, he asked Xue Bingbing, Le Qi, and Le Yao what they wanted to buy, and he would go to the county town tomorrow to bring it back together. They could rest well at home tomorrow.

Xue Bingbing discussed it with Le Qi and Le Yao, and then told Liu Xiangyang what they needed to bring.

At this moment, Zuo Qingqing, Jiang Xiaowen, and the other three new educated youths also gathered around. They wanted Liu Xiangyang to bring back two large iron pots and toilet paper for them.

Zuo Qingqing and Bai Jie are also preparing to build their own house.

When they arrived at the educated youth settlement, Zuo Qingqing and the other three didn't even look around before following Liu Xiangyang and the others. The four of them went to Liu Xiangyang's yard to cook, while Liu Xiangyang and the others went into Xue Bingbing's yard.

Le Yao: "Finally, I can relax a bit. What should we eat tonight?"

Liu Xiangyang: "Let's just have something simple to eat tonight. We'll have a big meal tomorrow after you've all had a good rest. I bought some red sausage at the state-run restaurant last time, but I've been forgetting about it. I'll go to the county town to buy some more meat tomorrow."

Leqi: "Everyone has been exhausted lately, so let's just grab something to eat today and get some rest."

After Zuo Qingqing and the others finished eating, they came over and gave Liu Xiangyang the money and coupons they would need for tomorrow before returning to the educated youth settlement.

Xue Bingbing and the others went to Liu Xiangyang's yard to boil water for a bath, while Liu Xiangyang could only walk around the yard on the paved stone path to aid digestion.

The next day, everyone slept until late morning. Xue Bingbing came over and brought Liu Xiangyang some food. Liu Xiangyang, who had just woken up, couldn't help but grab Xue Bingbing, who had recovered, and gave her a good kiss.

Xue Bingbing's period was over, and it was the peak of her hormone secretion. She grabbed Liu Xiangyang and pushed him down onto the kang (a heated brick bed). She cupped Liu Xiangyang's face in her hands and kissed him repeatedly on the cheek.

Just as Liu Xiangyang reached out to undress her, she stopped him and whispered in his ear, "Don't rush, I have a big gift for you tonight. Remember to bring back a few bottles of wine."

Liu Xiangyang rushed to the county town and went to see Lu Dajun first. Lu Dajun told him that he had come at the right time, as the appointment letter had been issued. He had originally planned to go to Dongsheng Village the next day.

Now that Liu Xiangyang has come himself, he can take the appointment letter, the pistol, the horse, and this month's fodder with him. Today, he will go to Dongsheng Village with Liu Xiangyang.
