Chapter 12: Picking the Head
After eating, Song Erzhu hurried back happily.
"It's going to be a big day, so go back quickly. ”
Huanxi frowned, "Daddy, aren't you going back to sleep for a while?" You must know that no matter how busy you were in the past, your father would go back to sleep for a while at noon.
Song Erzhu shook his head, "No, the old man on the team said that it may start to rain heavily the day after tomorrow, so Brother Youcai said that the wheat will be collected in a hurry in the past two days, and night work will be started today and tomorrow." ”
The talented brother in his mouth is Song Youcai, who is also the captain of the eleventh production team where Song Jiazhuang is located, and Song Erzhu and Song Sanzhu are cousins.
Huanxi and the others just knew about this, and they were a little confused.
"It's not...... Are you so tired during the day, and you won't be allowed to rest at night?"
"It can't be helped. Song Erzhu wiped his face and said, "If the wheat is not harvested and is drenched in the rain, it will affect the harvest." ”
Sister Song originally planned to come and go back that day, but when she heard this, she said, "Then I won't leave today, and I'll stay and help you work." ”
Don't look at her like this, she was also a good hand at work when she was young, although she hadn't been in the ground for so many years, but at least she was much stronger than Li Jianshe and Li Yuzhen.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Feng Shuhua said: "Eldest sister, don't, you are not from Songjiazhuang now, aren't you doing day work when you come to work? ”
As for why she didn't say this when Li Jianshe and Li Yuzhen came, that's not ...... In her eyes, even if it is Li Jianjian, who works hard, the little work he does is not worth a few jobs. And the brother and sister are not stupid, and when they go to work in the field, they don't forget to let their uncle and aunt take the opportunity to take a break and drink saliva.
"I'm going to find a talented brother. After speaking, Sister Song turned around and left.
Not long after, she ran back and said, "I told Brother Youcai, I will stay and cut wheat, and the work earned will be counted on Erzhu." ”
Feng Shuhua didn't care who the work was counted on, anyway, with the second uncle's temperament, he would never help her family in difficulty, but ......
She frowned and said, "I'm afraid that those long-tongued women on the team will chew the root of their tongues." ”
"Let them chew, I'm afraid of them?" Song Damei pouted and said, "They have opinions, let them come to me." ”
Among the four brothers and sisters, she is actually the most tough, if she hadn't married into the city and lacked confidence, her mother-in-law would not have been afraid of her.
When she was young, she was the most courageous, and she dared to say anything and dare to do anything. At that time, everyone in the entire Song family knew that although the three brothers of the Song family were easy to bully, the eldest sister of Song was a tigress.
Turning her head, Sister Song said to Li Jianshe and Li Yuzhen: "By the way, I told Brother Youcai, you two are considered to be an addition." ”
What?!
Li Jianshe and Li Yuzhen's eyes widened, but they couldn't do anything about their own mother.
Feng Shuhua on the side felt sorry for the child and said: "Sister, what are you doing here, how tired it is to cut wheat, forget it during the day, just exercise the child." What's the matter if you don't sleep at night, the child has to go to work tomorrow. ”
"It's okay, Jianshe has to go on a business trip tomorrow, and when she gets on the train, she doesn't have to do anything, can she use it to sleep? As for Yuzhen, she doesn't have classes tomorrow, so she can sleep in the office." Sister Song already had a plan in her heart.
Li Jianshe is a clerk of the county government, and he usually has to follow the leader on business trips from time to time. Li Yuzhen is a teacher at the county middle school, but because she is a newcomer, the school only let her teach a history class. Although I have to teach the whole grade level of history, it is much easier and less expensive than the main teacher. In the first year of junior high school taught by Li Yuzhen, there were only six classes in total, and basically only one class a day, and the homework to be graded was far less than those main courses. Of course, as a rookie teacher, it is inevitable that you will be instructed to do more chores in the office, but don't look at Li Yuzhen's temper in front of her mother, she is not the one who suffers outside.
If other people's children work so easily and with high wages, I am afraid they will be too happy, but Sister Song is not like this. In her opinion, who was born in the countryside, her son is fine, and it is not easy to run around, but her daughter's life is too depraved, and she refuses to sign up for a literacy class in the countryside.
She felt that she couldn't live like this, so she took her daughter to the countryside for "transformation", and her son was completely incidental, so she was afraid that her daughter would find an excuse and refuse to come.
Since she decided to help, Sister Song was not ambiguous, she brought back the baskets and dishes she brought, and went back to cut the wheat.
As for Li Jianshe and Li Yuzhen, in view of the fact that cutting wheat is not something that they will be able to adapt to for a while, Sister Song and Song Youcai agreed to let their brother and sister go to dry wheat and rape.
The rape in Songjiazhuang is harvested with wheat every year, and it is also harvested together when it is dried. This work is much easier than harvesting, and is usually done by the elderly and children who are not yet adults.
Huanxi didn't go back immediately, but went to the drying field with Li Jianshe and Li Yuzhen.
- In fact, there is no real drying field in Songjiazhuang, but there is an empty space in front of each house as a drying field, and the conditions of each family are different, and the situation of the drying field is also different, some are smeared with a thin layer of cement, some are red bricks, and some are compacted mud floors.
On the way, Song Weimin also muttered two sentences, telling Huanxi to go back quickly. Joy but don't care, this will be the sun is indeed dry, but she doesn't work, plus the previous spring cold when falling into the river still has an impact on her body, this will be a hot day walking under the sun, she is stunned at all sweat.
And the reason why she is stubborn to bask in the sun is actually just to supplement vitamin D, after all, she also hurt her bones, and vitamin D supplementation is always right.
Although...... Vitamin D helps absorb calcium, and the problem with this is that there is no calcium for her to absorb at all.
Then, Huanxi saw a strange wooden machine, and after looking at it for a while, he realized that it was a thresher, but it was operated by man.
Really advanced......
She remembered that her father said that when he was a child, he didn't have this thing at all when he threshed grain, and he had to use a wooden barrel to break it.
On the other side, although Li Jianshe and Li Yuzhen felt embarrassed, they still went to report to the captain of the women's team in charge of the drying field.
Huanxi was about to sit down, but Song Weimin on the side poked her waist and whispered, "Let's go pick up the tassels." ”
Picking up the tassels?
Huanxi lived in the countryside in her last life, and after thinking about it, she understood what was going on, her eyes lit up, and she asked softly: "If you pick it up, you can take it back, and it will belong to us?"
Song Weimin nodded, "Of course." ”
