Tao Zhuangzhuang stumbled out of the house, and the steamy heat outside swept over him, making him break out in sweat instantly.
Even more anxious than him were the villagers waiting outside.
They weren't exactly lining up for anything, but they felt uneasy because the results hadn't been settled, so they couldn't help but gather here, chatting away.
Seeing the biggest grape grower in the county step out with a rather peculiar expression, everyone immediately gathered around:
"Old Tao, how are the grapes from your vineyard?"
"Can they reach 40? Your grapes look really good. If they can't even reach 40, then ours stand no chance."
"I guess it's doubtful, Old Tao's vineyard has over a hundred acres, amounting to ten to twenty thousand pounds. One person is equivalent to how many households in the county."
"We ought to at least aim for 35, right? The party secretary said prices are going down because there's more produce, I get that... but we've invested a lot too!"
