The village chief assigned their group the task of weeding today. After a heavy spring rain, the young millet shoots grew quickly, but the wild weeds in the fields grew even faster.
If the emerging weeds are not dealt with in time, in a few days, the weeds will be taller and sturdier than the millet seedlings, robbing the soil of nutrients and sunlight, directly affecting the growth of the crops.
However, the village lacked iron tools, and even simple hoes were scarce. Those not allotted a hoe could only bend over to pull weeds, their calloused hands stained dark green. At this moment, seeing Mingming, who was assigned a hoe but shirking effort, the members of the group were all angry at his rebellious words.
