Chapter 7: A Bird Falls from the Sky
Zhou Niannian raised his head and looked at Zhao Dayong with a calm face: "Captain Zhao, are you okay? It's okay, I'll start doing it." ”
Zhao Dayong, who was about to give a long reprimand, choked suddenly, his face turned a little black and his mouth opened, he snorted, and said to the people who were watching the play around: "What do you watch? If you don't hurry up and go to work, whoever can't complete the task today will all be deducted points." ”
"Including your mother-in-law, isn't it?" someone in the crowd shouted boldly.
There was a laugh from the crowd, and Zhao Dayong went to inspect other plots with his face black and his hands behind his back.
Seeing that it was not lively, the people around him dispersed one after another, after all, earning work is important, and this is related to the family's food and drink.
"Niannian, don't worry," Li Wenjing comforted her like a good sister: "I'll finish collecting my land quickly, and I'll come over to help you collect it later." ”
Zhou Niannian blinked with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry." ”
Li Wenjing: "......."
"Can you finish harvesting this half acre of land?" Li Wenjing looked at Zhou Niannian with wide eyes in astonishment.
Zhou Niannian slowly rolled up his sleeves, and pulled up the dark blue trousers a little more, so as not to get wet mud, and glanced at Li Wenjing when he heard the words: "Who said I was going to finish it?"
Li Wenjing blinked, feeling that she couldn't keep up with Zhou Niannian's train of thought: "But..... But if you can't finish it, the captain will deduct your work. ”
"Buckle it. Zhou Niannian pursed his lips, too lazy to take care of Li Wenjing anymore, and squatted down to collect peanuts.
Li Wenjing watched her slender figure squatting on the ground, first shaved up the peanuts with the turn, then grabbed the peanut seedlings and pulled them up, clumsily smashing the soil on them.
Her slender white fingers, reflecting the emerald green peanut seedlings, looked hot and beautiful.
Li Wenjing looked down at her already somewhat black and rough hand, subconsciously clenched it into a fist and put it behind her back, and the jealousy in her eyes flashed.
Also, if she had so much money and tickets on her, she didn't care about that amount of work.
While she was full of jealousy, she was even more determined to keep Zhou Niannian's money for herself.
Feeling that there was no one behind him, Zhou Niannian relaxed his back, and the action of shaving peanuts was much more proficient than just now.
In fact, when she was a teacher in the mountains in her previous life, she did a lot of work, and she was very proficient, and with her labor ability in her previous life, she could harvest the peanuts of this half acre of land in one day.
But now she's well, to be honest, she really can't finish it.
Li Wenjing thought that she was not afraid because she was rich, but in fact, she hadn't earned a job at all, she hadn't earned a job yet, she was deducted two because she was late, and her work was already negative, was she still afraid of Zhao Dayong's deduction?
Of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that she knows in her heart that at most, by the end of the year, this situation of eating a big pot of rice and earning a share of the production commune will be over.
The above policy will soon be changed, and the production will be delivered to the households, and these educated youths will also be allocated some land to plant, and there will be no such thing as work at all.
So compared to the fact that she values work so much now, she really doesn't care.
However, these are things that will happen in the future, and of course the people in the present will not know, and she does not need to explain them to them.
Zhou Niannian shaved peanuts and thought absentmindedly.
Before she knew it, an hour had passed, her legs were squatting on the ground and she was numb and unconscious, Zhou Niannian got up and moved her hands and feet, turned around to look at the small area she had put away, and nodded with satisfaction.
This speed is in line with her current physical fitness and labor ability.
If she really works hard to finish collecting these lands, not to mention that these people in the production team have to lose their eyeballs, it is Zhao Dayong, and it is estimated that more tasks will be sent to her tomorrow.
Thinking of Zhao Dayong, Zhou Niannian's eyes turned cold, patted the mud on his hands, and prepared to find a place to wash his hands and rest for a while.
"Oh, this can't be done?" The aunt in the field next to her saw her stand up and clapped her hands, and glanced at the small area she had just finished with a little disdain.
Zhou Niannian smiled shyly: "The sun is too big, I'm a little dizzy, auntie, where can I wash my hands?"
In fact, she knows where there is water, but now she is just a decentralized educated youth who has just been here for two days, so she can't know.
Seeing that she was not angry or annoyed, the aunt pursed her lips boringly, and muttered: "A delicate girl from the capital, what's the use of looking good, you can't do a good job." ”
After that, he lowered his head and continued to shave peanuts, pretending not to hear Zhou Niannian's words.
On the contrary, the older lady who worked in the field on the right smiled charitentiously, pointed to the direction of the mountain, and said gently: "You follow this path to the mountain, and come to a forest, and there is a stream in the forest, you can wash your hands." ”
Zhou Niannian knew that in this place, Mengjiang Village was leaning against the mountain, and the land at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside was wasteland, and it was not easy to reclaim it if it went up, so there were trees on the mountainside, and there was a stream gurgling through the forest, which flowed to the valley below.
There is still a mountain on the other side of the valley, and the mountain on the opposite side is a barren mountain that has not been cultivated, and it is rumored that wild beasts are often infested, so no one has ever been there.
Zhou Niannian thought about things slowly, and went up to the top of the mountain in the eyes of everyone who were either disdainful or looking at the excitement, and went to the stream in the grove.
The water was clear and translucent, and she sat down by the water, washed her hands, and lay down by the stream to rest.
The sun was scorching outside, but the forest was full of green grass and wildflowers, and the sunlight sprinkled through the towering trees into mischievous spots of light, gently caressing her face.
Zhou Niannian lay comfortably on the ground, thinking about the things below.
She now has to solve Li Wenjing's matter first, Li Wenjing's matter is actually the matter of the money on her body, and only after properly arranging these silver money can she deal with other things with peace of mind.
Next, she has to work hard to gain a foothold in the production team.
In her previous life, she stayed here for two years before she was able to return to the capital, and if everything went well in this life, she would have to stay here for at least more than a year, so it was important to stand firm.
The most important point is that only when she has a firm foothold and has made meritorious contributions, can she have the opportunity to go out, and she can find a way to visit her parents and two older brothers.
Thinking of his family, Zhou Niannian's heart was a little sour.
Because the two parents were "guilty of too big a crime", they were sent to a farm in the far northwest of Xinjiang for labor reform, which is the place called for large-scale reclamation and the conditions are the most difficult.
Fortunately, the eldest brother reacted in time and signed up for Xinjiang aid construction and became a volunteer to support the construction of the frontier, so that he could take care of his parents nearby.
But even if there is an eldest brother to take care of nearby, but the elder brother can't be in the production team every day, his parents still suffer a lot, especially his father, in that place where there is a shortage of medical treatment, he suffered from a serious lung disease, and less than two years after returning to the capital, his father died.
In this life, she must rush to see her father as soon as possible, so that he will not suffer from that disease again.
There is also the second brother, the second brother was sent to Qinghai, where the conditions were also very poor, and the second brother's body also suffered a lot.
Zhou Niannian thought about it, and suddenly felt something slam on her body.
"Ah!" she exclaimed, and sat up straight, meeting a pair of sparkling eyes.
What is this? A bird fell from the sky!
