Lu Tao is a native of Beijing, and before coming to Chunan Province, he had almost never seen rice, let alone knew that this was the busy farming season.

Under Li Jiatao's reminder, the driver, Sun Qianmen, slowed down the speed very slowly.

The roar of the threshing machine on both sides of the road is endless, and several men walk barefoot on the ridge with a basket full of rice, shaking and shaking, and the trembling movements make people have a toothache!

The women are barefoot in the mud of the rice fields, bending over, holding curved sickles, brushing the ground to cut the grain.

A few children frolicked and ran through the rice paddies, picking up handfuls of rice from the fields and running back to hand them to the adults who were stepping on the threshing machine.

The summer is scorching, the sky is as blue as washing, there is no trace of cool breeze, giving people a hot feeling.

"Sweat drops down the soil!" Lu Tao, who was born as a university professor, couldn't help but sigh.

Li Jiatao was speechless, he has seen this kind of scene every year, and he can't express too much emotion.

"Stop, stop, stop." Lu Tao suddenly said urgently.

The driver, Sun Qianmen, was startled and slowly braked the car. Lu Tao didn't wait for the car to stop, so he opened the car door and jumped in. Because of the role of his habitual surname, Lu Tao's body stumbled and almost didn't fall.

Li Jiatao was also taken aback, quickly opened the car door, jumped in, and helped Lu Tao. What are you kidding, if the secretary of the county party committee is injured because of jumping out of the car, it will be a big joke, and Xiaolei County doesn't know how many people are preparing to watch Lu Tao's joke.

"Go and help that sister-in-law." Lu Tao pushed Li Jiatao away, and said urgently on the ridge in front of his finger.

Lu Tao looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be stunned.

On the ridge of the field, a thin woman about forty years old was carrying a threshing machine two meters long and one meter wide on her back, and was struggling to move forward step by step. The heavy threshing machine pressed the woman's back almost parallel to the ground, and beads of sweat the size of beans were flowing on the woman's struggling and pale face, and Li Jiatao even vaguely felt that the woman's thin legs were trembling because of their inability to stand unsteadily......

Behind the woman, a boy about ten years old seemed to be holding the back end of the threshing machine with both hands, a very laborious movement......

Lu Tao carried the threshing machine and knew that in the countryside, such a threshing machine would weigh more than one hundred and twenty catties even if the runner was removed. Moreover, the length of the threshing machine is more than two meters, and the width is more than one meter, which is more laborious to carry on the back, which is a very challenging physical work for an adult man, let alone a woman, the difficulty can be imagined.

Lu Tao remembered that when he and his second brother lifted the threshing machine, their shoulders would be red and red, and they would hurt hotly......

Lu Tao didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly rushed over. If a woman can't bear the weight of the threshing machine, or slips on the narrow ridge, the woman will definitely be crushed by the threshing machine, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Sister-in-law, put it down, put it down." Lu Tao ran over, held up the back part of the threshing machine with both hands, and said urgently, "I'll help you carry it." ”

"Thank you, big brother." The woman gasped, "Just the hill triangle in front of you, it's coming soon." ”

Lu Tao also knew that it would take a lot of trouble to let the woman put down the threshing machine at this time, so he had to say: "Then you be careful, go slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

finally helped the woman lift the threshing machine to the ridge at the edge of the triangle field and put it down, and Lu Tao was also soaked with sweat.

The ridge is too narrow, and the driver who followed him, Lao Sun, couldn't help, and Lu Tao didn't know how to help at all.

What made Lu Tao and Sun Qianmen dumbfounded was that as soon as the threshing machine was put down, Lu Tao took off his leather shoes and socks and jumped off the mud field.

"It's so comfortable." Lu Tao smiled in his mouth, "It's cold and cold in the mud, it's much more comfortable than on the shore." ”

Li Jiatao and Sun Qianmen looked at each other, smiled wryly and shook their heads, Secretary Lu is full of energy because of freshness, and when the freshness passes, Lu Tao will be affected!

The leaders all went to the field, and Li Jiatao and Sun Qianmen did not dare to slack off, so they quickly took off their shoes and went to the mud field.

"There isn't much field, and my mother and cub can finish it in one day." The woman was polite, "How dare you bother the leader." ”

The woman also found the Santana car on the road, and knew that the big leader must be sitting in such a car, which was quite cramped.

"I've already gone to the field, so let's help my sister-in-law beat these few fields." Li Jiatao visually inspected it, and it is estimated that this hill triangle field will also save about three points of the field, and the grass has already been cut, and it is spread out in the field one by one, and it only needs to be beaten. Li Jiatao calculated, plus this little boy has a total of five laborers, it is estimated that it can be done in more than an hour.

Fortunately, Li Jiatao and the driver Lao Sun are both people who have done farm work, and they are very skilled in helping women install the runner, and then cover the guard plate, and then they can start work!

Li Jiatao first used his hand to move the runner in the opposite direction, and then with his right foot, he stepped on the crossbar that drove the runner on the threshing machine, and the runner turned in the opposite direction, and it slid up in the direction of Hula Hula......

"I'm going to step on the threshing machine." Lu Tao probably saw those adults in the car stepping on the threshing machine, while stuffing handfuls of straw into the threshing machine's rotating wheel for threshing, and immediately picked up a handful of straw with full grains and rushed to stand on the wooden board in front of the runner.

Before the others could react, Lu Tao stuffed the straw into the high-speed rotating runner for threshing......

Where did Lu Tao do farm work, so he naturally didn't know how powerful the high-speed rotating wheel was, and how dangerous such an action was......

"Be careful, secretary." Sun Qianmen's face changed abruptly, and he shouted urgently. But Sun Qianmen stood in the mud, and suddenly rushed over.

Lu Tao hurriedly pressed the crossbar that drove the runner to rotate with his legs, and quickly stretched out his right hand in front of Lu Tao, pushing Lu Tao's body out......

But where is the high-speed rotating wheel that Lu Tao can stop when he steps on the crossbar with his legs, and Lu Tao's action only makes the speed of the runner a little slower.

Because the threshing machine's runner rotated inward rapidly, the straw in Lu Tao's hand was dragged into the threshing machine by the wheel, and by the effect of his habitual surname, Lu Tao's hands that grabbed the root of the straw also dragged it in the direction of the runner, and then his upper body Lu Tao lost his balance and went to the threshing machine......

"Let go, secretary." Sun Qianmen shouted anxiously.

Fortunately, Li Jiatao's reaction speed was very fast, and his right hand was forcefully flicked to straighten Lu Tao's inclined body, plus Lu Tao heard Sun Qianmen's loud shout, and the sense of crisis made him subconsciously let go of the straw with his hands, and his hands stopped just when he was about to touch the high-speed rotating runner gear on the runner......

It's dangerous!

Li Jiatao let out a cold sweat, if it weren't for his luck, Lu Tao was afraid that he would have to reimburse a few fingers!

This is not alarmist, in Yandu, at least dozens of children are crippled by the threshing machine's wheel every year, and their fingers and even palms are lost!

"This wheel is really powerful." Lu Tao was so frightened that he took a step back, and muttered with palpitations, which made Li Jiatao feel happy.
