Chapter 1108

Wang An originally didn't want to go to the field to harvest wheat; the main thing was that harvesting wheat was too damn miserable!

But after Huang Baoguo, his son, and Er Gangzi arrived, the wheat harvested by this group of people in one morning couldn't be pulled back by just one four-wheeled cart, so even if Wang An didn't harvest wheat, by the time it was almost noon, Wang An still had to drive the walking tractor to the field once.

Since he had to go anyway, Wang An might as well go harvest wheat together; in that case, the speed of harvesting wheat could be faster.

After arriving at the wheat field, the group of 8 people each harvested two ridges and began to advance forward.

It has to be said, although Huang Baoguo and Er Gangzi were indeed able to eat in terms of meals, these two were truly agile in their work.

Even while carrying Huang Zhong, the speed of harvesting wheat was still in a state of being far ahead.

Even Wang Dazhu, an old hand who had been doing farm work for half his life, wasn't as fast as them at harvesting wheat.

The "carrying" mentioned here actually means helping, which is when Huang Zhong's speed couldn't keep up, Huang Baoguo and Er Gangzi would harvest some of the wheat on Huang Zhong's two ridges in front.

After all, although Huang Zhong was already 15 years old, because of malnutrition, his figure was too thin and small, and he truly couldn't keep up in terms of harvesting wheat.

Just like that, as time passed, the tiring morning finally passed; to be precise, it wasn't noon yet, it was just time to load the cart.

This morning, the sickle in Wang An's hand was almost swinging until it smoked, but he just couldn't catch up with Wang Dazhu, Huang Baoguo, and Er Gangzi; he was always left behind by a distance by the three of them, only slightly better than the female comrades.

To be honest, this made Wang An a bit hard to understand.

Clearly, everyone's frequency of swinging the sickle was about the same, and his own strength was even greater than theirs, but his speed was always lagging behind; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up; this was truly an unsolvable problem.

Fortunately, Wang An's ambition wasn't here, so he lost the desire to compete.

The main thing was that Wang An had long discovered a problem, which was that wealth had nothing to do with the four words "hardworking and willing to work."

If you don't believe it, look at Huang Baoguo and that Er Gangzi; who dares to say they aren't hardworking? Who dares to say they can be better than them in terms of farm work?

But, before they knew Wang An, Huang Baoguo and his family couldn't even get a full set of clothes, and couldn't even solve the problem of food and clothing, and now, they could even say things like "eating just steamed buns without dishes is fine" while eating steamed buns.

From this, it can be seen that the four words "hard work leads to wealth" are purely damn lies.

And for people like Huang Baoguo and the others, as long as they can endure hardship, they will have endless hardship.

This morning, 8 people only harvested 4 mu of land, which means that yesterday, Wang Dazhu and the four of them only harvested 4 mu of land in a day.

According to this progress, Wang An's family's 25 mu of wheat field would only be finished in three days, but after Wang An's family's was finished, Shen Wei's family's couldn't be left behind either.

The crops of the two families had always been tended together, and the autumn harvest was naturally together as well.

Everyone worked together to load the wheat harvested in the morning onto the cart, and only then did Wang Dazhu and Wang An, father and son, each drive a vehicle, swaying and walking toward home.

At noon, while the people in the village were eating, the large loudspeaker at the village headquarters suddenly made a few coughs.

Immediately after, Sun Physician's somewhat excited voice sounded:

"Attention villagers of Kaoshan Village, attention villagers of Kaoshan Village, I am Village Chief Sun Physician, below, I announce a matter, which is that the electricity in our Kaoshan Village has now been fully connected, every household should immediately check if their light bulbs are bright, if the light bulbs aren't bright, hurry to the village headquarters, since the two electricians haven't returned yet, they can still fix it for you, be quick, if the light bulbs aren't bright later, no one will take care of you."

"Our Kao..."

After saying it twice, Sun Physician turned off the microphone.

And at Wang An's house, Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoli had long been unable to suppress their curiosity, and separately went to pull the rope hanging from the pull-switch box on the east room door and the west room door.

In Wang An's house, in every room in the front, Wang An had installed two light bulbs.

The reason for installing two light bulbs was, on one hand, because two light bulbs could be prepared for emergencies, and on the other hand, because the room was too large, sometimes only when both light bulbs were lit would the room not appear dim.

As the two little girls released the rope of the pull-switch box, the two light bulbs in the living room lit up.

One could hear Wang Xiaoli immediately shouting with dissatisfaction:

"This light bulb isn't bright either, didn't Big Brother say this thing is a hundred times brighter than a candle?"

It must be said that since going to school, Wang Xiaoli's speech was no longer slurred.

After Wang Xiaoli finished speaking, her sister Wang Xiaomei also pouted her little mouth and said:

"Yeah, Big Brother is just lying."

This scene left Wang An speechless, and the others also looked at Wang An with smiles on their faces.

Consequently, Wang An smiled:

"How can you tell if the light bulb is bright in broad daylight? No matter how bright the light bulb is, can it be brighter than the sun? You two have wasted your schooling, don't go to school in the afternoon, hurry and go harvest wheat with us."

The two little girls blinked their big eyes with a face full of confusion, and then Wang Xiaoli asked:

"Big Brother, why isn't the light bulb as bright as the sun?"

Wang An was stunned upon hearing this, pondered for a long time before explaining:

"You two just remember, in this world, the sun is the brightest, nothing can be brighter than the sun."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Wang Xiaomei pursued:

"Why is that, Big Brother?"

Wang An blinked his eyes, suddenly not knowing how to explain it; the main thing was that Wang An really hadn't studied this thing much.

After thinking for a long time, Wang An then said:

"The place we stay is called Earth, the sun is actually a very, very large fireball, it itself keeps emitting light and heat to shine on our Earth, our Earth has to revolve around the sun, revolving once is a year, but, this Earth itself also has to rotate, rotating once is a day, when we can see the sun, it's daytime, when the Earth rotates to the other side, it's nighttime..."

Immediately after, Wang An said a description he saw in a magazine in his past life.

It must be said that what Wang An said was relatively vivid; let alone the two little girls, even Wang Dazhu and Huang Baoguo and the others listened with great interest.

Because in this era, the vast majority of people had never traveled far in their lives, had no knowledge, and were still believing in the saying "the sky is round and the earth is square."

However, the two little girls couldn't understand it at all; Wang Xiaomei stared with her big eyes and asked:

"Then can't the Earth rotate by itself? Why must it revolve around the sun?"

Wang Xiaoli used an even more innocent tone and said:

"Is this like a dung beetle rolling dung?"

Thanks to "Large Empire Emperor" for the reward, thank you, thank you!
