Chapter 407: Resolutely Return to the City and Leave 11
Sister Cao Xinhua was talking about her son Ah Bao on the one hand, and taking care of Xiao Fangcao on the other hand, which saved Bai Lu a lot of heart.
After careful consideration, Bai Lu decided to give Xiao Fangcao the dairy products and eight-treasure porridge that he did not have a lot in stock to eat in batches, although it couldn't last long, but it could last a day, I hope the good news of the Han family uncle will come soon.
It is said that the Spring Festival of 1978 was in February, and the day when Bai Lu entered the task was almost the spring equinox, the so-called "February stings and spring equinox, planting trees and fertilizing the cultivated land", according to the practice of previous years, she would be leisurely for two or three days at most, and then she would be very busy.
The work tasks of the educated youth are naturally assigned and arranged by the village head, the village party secretary, the production team leader, and the director, and Han Yuling was pregnant and lived in Qi's house, and the only advantage is that the village party secretary supports it, eliminating heavy labor, although some people have opinions, but they are just talking.
Now, Bai Lu has moved out of the Qi family, and she is also missing a protective layer, and she has to face those heavy farm work and all kinds of difficulties by herself.
Of course, it's not that the locals have to deliberately make it difficult for the young people, there are still people in the village who are kind and responsible, it's just that these honest people are bullied by the old treacherous and cunning people to take care of themselves, and naturally they don't have the energy to pity others.
Sure enough, on the second day after Bai Lu entered the task, he heard the legendary big broadcast, in the loudspeaker, the village chief, the production team leader, the village party secretary, and the village director took turns to lecture, leaving aside those irrelevant nonsense, and the general content of the rest was:
"There is little rain in our village, so we must pay close attention to spring irrigation. Do a good job of watering, apply fertilizer, pay attention to the prevention of late frost damage, everyone work together, do not disappoint the chairman's trust in us, we must ......"
The so-called spring equinox farm work, white dew is half-baked.
Although I have been to the countryside many times before, the seasons are different, and the work I do is naturally different, and most of the women mainly mow the grass, feed the pigs, raise chickens and ducks, and pick up the stove. Carrying a hoe into the field to plough the land and sow seeds. Bai Lu really hasn't done it yet.
"Men plough the land, women are busy with the stove" This is the model of ordinary families in the village, and each family has at least five people, who can take care of each other. Naturally, there will be no situation where the child is left unattended.
But the devolved educated youth are different. Everyone is an individual. Most of them are in their teens or early twenties when they go to the countryside, and they all want to get back to the city as soon as possible, so few people are willing to get married there. Moreover, the farm work tasks are assigned to the individual, even if the two educated youths are combined, the work will not be less.
Therefore, Bai Lu was faced with the problem that if she went to work in the fields, the client's children would be left unattended, and that it was definitely not a good idea to take the little herbs to the fields, but it was a thing that had to be done.
The sun rises in the east, and the wind blows the earth.
Bai Lu picked up the hoe, carried the fertilizer bag, and then carried a rag, and went out like this.
Before leaving, she took a look at her outfit through the broken mirror in the broken corner, and to be honest, she didn't want to look at it a second time after seeing it for the first time: how did she become such a scumbag village girl? Alas, she misses Miss Shen Qi's background very much, even if it is Miss Jiang Fangfang in 1983, she is better than the current downfall.
When Bai Lu arrived in the field, it was neither early nor too late, and she arrived earlier than her, naturally she was an honest and diligent person, and most of the people who didn't come were lazy, stealing and playing tricks.
If the villagers grew up drinking well water, then the educated youth used to drink ink, and this well water and ink are naturally completely different, the former is adapted to farming, and the latter is good at holding a pen and writing.
"Going to the mountains and going to the countryside" is, to some extent, equivalent to letting the person who holds the pen hold the hoe.
Going to the countryside for two or three years can also be said to be exercising and allowing the vast number of urban youths to really come into contact with the vast rural areas; going to the countryside for three or five years can also be said to temper their bodies and deeply feel the vast world of the rural areas, but if they are left in the countryside and left to care, let a group of teenage children leave their hometowns and cannot return home, then what is it?
Moreover, one of the major characteristics of the queue cutting mode is that there is no logistics, like those who are minors and have no relatives in the local area, first of all, the "living pass" will not be able to pass, and from the perspective of rural economic development, the educated youth are also a burden on the countryside, only in those places where there is a lack of basic education, there is a small significance.
The people in the village look at the educated youth, one by one can not lift their hands, they can't carry their shoulders, and they complain about hardship without much work, to put it bluntly, it is really the ancient saying "useless is a scholar".
In this way, the sum of these three dissatisfactions is three: the educated youth are dissatisfied, the parents are dissatisfied, and the peasants are dissatisfied. (Grandpa Deng's original words)
Of course, the macro evaluation is a later thing, just talking about Bai Lu, looking at the vast spring planting land, thinking that the wind blows the wheat waves here in the autumn must be very spectacular, but without the use of tractor sowing, no automatic propulsion spraying, no use of any mechanized tools, it is not so optimistic.
At this time, it is necessary to manually cultivate the land for sowing, and what is even more tragic is that the educated youth have no cattle yet!
"Sister Cao, such a large piece of land is our task?" Bai Lu felt a little incredible, threw away her hoe, and sat directly on the ridge.
"Yes, the weather changes frequently in early spring, so it is necessary to soak the seeds and promote germination when the cold air comes, and sow the seeds when the cold air ends. Sister Cao explained.
"Hey, I still don't have a copy of the "Encyclopedia of Farming"!" Bai Lu said to herself: "No, I should prepare a mechanized agricultural equipment that integrates ploughing and sowing, spraying, harvesting, baling and other functions!"
Even if she is unwilling, but in the context of the general environment, Bai Lu can only follow the trend, and before returning to the city to approve the documents, it is better not to make any moths, but if you want her to work hard like an old cultivator who has worked hard and died, it is impossible.
But anyway, while working in the field, while taking care of and teasing Xiao Fangcao, the busy farming time during the day passes quite quickly, Bai Lu occasionally takes a small snack from the carry-on space to comfort herself, and at the end of the day, it can be regarded as so-so.
Bai Lu is naturally multitasking when she is in the field, because in the process of working, you can quite see the behavior of the people around her, for example, the aunt Wang who made Bai Lu feel a little disliked is a typical example of pretending to be lazy and greedy.
"Lingzi, what were you eating just now?" The sharp-eyed Aunt Wang caught a glimpse of Bai Lu constantly touching things from her pocket and stuffing them into her mouth, she suspected that this was a snack given by Qi Dazhi.
"Nitrogen, oxygen, noble gases. Bai Lu yawned.
"What's the anger?" Aunt Wang came up: "What a good thing, give it to my aunt to taste too~"
Bai Lu raised his hand and pointed: "It's everywhere, feel free to taste!"
