Chapter 290: Pulling Weeds (2)
However, there are special times, such as encountering a plot of land with particularly lush grass, and you can earn five or six points, but the labor intensity is greater.
For example, when you see a plot with lush grass, in order to pull it quickly or grab grass with your companions, cut the grass and put it in piles. When the mowing is finished, or when it is dark enough to go back, they gather the grass in a large pile and put it in baskets.
The basket is also particular, and it cannot be pretended to be a large and small mound type, so that the straw basket falls backwards on the back, and Le's shoulder hurts.
It is best to fill the basket first and then place the basket against a tree or sturdy crop stalks. Then stack the straw into a rectangle, hug and stack it on top of the basket, it doesn't matter if the basket is not tied.
It is best to be narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, so that the weight is on both shoulders and back. For the same weight, it is much lighter than the mound shape.
When the basket is too big to lift its hands, he kneels on the ground in front of the basket with both legs, puts one shoulder into the basket, carries the basket on his back, and touches the ground with the hand of the other shoulder, and pouts his buttocks high.
Lift one leg up first, then press on this leg and the hand on the ground at the same time so that the other leg is lifted as well. In this way, the whole person stood up, and then began to walk with a straw basket like a hill.
If there are small miscellaneous trees or sturdy crop straws in front of you, you can save more effort, and pull the slider in front of you with your hands when you get up, and you can get up more neatly.
It's a time to be alone. If there are a lot of people, you can help each other, but you also have to kneel, and when you get up, someone else will help you lift it up, and it will be easier to get up.
The last one is a man carrying a straw basket to help carry it in the back. Although it is not as good as empty-handed, it can also be used to some extent. Older children are usually the last to get up.
Sometimes the grass can be more than half a foot higher than the basket system, and the head and body of the person carrying the basket cannot be seen behind it, only two small short legs can be seen moving under the "grass mountain".
If it's a long way, you'll have to take a few breaths to get home. Every time you rest, no matter how tired you are, you must rush to a place with a high and a hill. Put the straw basket on the high and high hill, and lean against the straw basket to catch your breath. When you go, you can get up on your back, saving you the trouble of kneeling or dragging things.
People are like this, when they grit their teeth at a critical time, the explosion of physical strength makes them can't believe it: as soon as the grass basket is weighed, the number exceeds the weight by more than 20 catties!
I earned four or five points in half a day, although my shoulders were red and swollen, and my sweaty hair was beaten into wisps, my heart was so beautiful.
On the second and third days, it didn't work, and the basket was hit by the shoulder, and it hurt like a pinprick. I had to wrap a thick cotton pad on the basket and carry it when there was no grass, and then put it on my shoulders when I had to carry it. After a long time, I was numb, and I couldn't feel the stinging pain.
Every time I think of this, Lamei's tears can flow out, and I can't help but touch my shoulder with my hand, and I feel a little painful.
In this life, he was reborn, although he borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul, but he had found his parents and worshiped his godsister in his previous life. And the purpose of rebirth is to let the family and the self in the previous life live a good life.
It's time to pull weeds again, do you want to let yourself in your previous life, your godsister Wang Xiaohua in this life, repeat the suffering of your previous life?
Lamei shook her head, the answer was no. She must let her family live a relaxed and happy life.
There is a modern grass in the past life. At this time, modern people no longer feed livestock, pull weeds or hoe the ground. The field where the crops were planted was a dozen herbicides, and there were only seedlings in the field and no grass.
But on the idle ground along the ravine, no one is willing to use herbicides, and the grass grows tall and lush. And they are all small reed grass, old bar seedlings (10,000 grasses), and fragrant herbs that livestock love to eat, and they can pull out a big basket with a waist.
Even in the spring, a large basket can be pulled out of a meal. As long as Rameken works hard, he can bear more than half of the forage for six cows in eleven teams.
But she couldn't do this: during this period, the forage of the cattle of the production team was to eat sun-dried grain grass, corn stalks, and sun-dried weeds in winter, and to eat fresh grass pulled by the members in spring, summer and autumn.
The weeds pullers are minors who have not gone to school or have just graduated from elementary school, and elderly auxiliary laborers. They still want to pull weeds to earn a share of their work! She can't artificially unplug them!
The team arranges labor to pull weeds, which is also based on the amount of food eaten by the cattle. Especially in spring, when the grass is tender and can't be dried, the team will not invest too much work to dry the hay. If there is a lot of hay left, the number of people on the team will be reduced.
If there is too much grass pulling and it exceeds the labor force of the whole labor force, the team will increase the number of pounds from two catties and three catties to four catties and five catties. In reality, there is still very little grass, and there is a team of weed-pulling troops.
Lamei didn't want to upset that balance. An era has the characteristics of an era, and people in this era are counting on work, and she does not want to deprive people of the right to earn work.
Lamei wanted to help the team, but she didn't want to break the balance, so she plucked the amount of fresh grass in the barn, and did not dare to pull out the basket, lest people say that they got it from the "white-haired grandmother".
The white-haired grandmother is a "god", and everything she gives is given away for nothing. She uses it to earn her wages, and people are bound to talk about it.
Her aim is: as long as the members can do it, try to let them do it themselves. Earn a little bit of work and put on a posture of supporting yourself!
The reed grass is very tender and popular with the breeders.
"Isn't this grass given to you by the white-haired grandmother?" asked the keeper happily.
Lamei was noncommittal, and said with a smile: "As I walked, I saw a piece of reed grass and an old bar seedling, so I pulled it out." ”
Breeder: "Anything else?"
Lamei: "It's gone, just pull these." ”
The next day, Lamei carried most of the same reeds as yesterday. The keeper said funny, "You don't know if you've met a cornucopia, do you?
Lamei still smiled: "No, I came across a field with grass again!"
Breeder: "Just finished cutting too?"
Lamei sold a cute, raised her little face and said, "Don't tell the outside world, or they will rob me." ”
Three catties of grass and a division of labor, a basket of plum weighing out eight catties or nine catties, which is equivalent to more than half a day's work.
Lamei pulling weeds can earn three points of labor in one trip, and this word has still been spread. The strongest reaction was Wang Xiaohua, who found Lamei and said dissatisfiedly:
"Lamei, you don't have a place to say a word. On Sunday, I pulled out for a day, and I was tired and stinky, so I only pulled seven and a half pounds. You will pull eight or nine pounds in one trip. Thanks to our good friends!"
Looking at Wang Xiaohua's aggrieved appearance, Lamei felt distressed.
Why doesn't she want Wang Xiaohua to pull more weeds and earn more work!
"The division of labor is the lifeblood of the members!" This sentence has been shouted for more than ten years. Lamei, who has passed once from this era, has a particularly profound experience.
