During the new year, most women visited their natal homes around the second day.
Although Gu Qingyao waited until the third day, Younger Aunt did not return.
She remembered that Younger Aunt had not come back last year either.
That day, the Qing River and the Southern Lake Brigades were both busy dredging the river. She heard there was some problem with the Qing River, but Gu Qingyao was not too clear as to what it was. In her previous life, she had always stayed home to do the chores when she was young. Later on, after the incident, she seldom left the house.
So she did not know much about agriculture.
Later on, when she grew up and her father brought up the subject, he said that the people of this era had made the greatest contributions. Many engineering projects to build roads and divert rivers had been performed by human labor in this era.
In later years, people would enjoy the fruit of their forebears' labors.
