Chapter 30: It was not done by man
The man who was joking just now said: "I said Wang Qiaozhen, I'll just talk about it casually, why can't you help but be funny like this?" ”
I sneered: "If your sister and your wife come out to work, and others make such jokes, you will be so relaxed?" I don't like jokes, and if you're willing to go to someone else, I don't owe you. ”
The man muttered a few words in a low voice, and said no more.
Sun Laosi fell into the car and began to sleep, I looked at these men coldly, and I was really much more honest.
What Sister-in-law Bai said was really good. If you want to live well, you must learn their law of the jungle.
I instantly thought of the knife under Lin Cailian's pillow, she must have suffered such an experience, just like this, do I also have to find something to protect myself?
The car drove all the way east, and it took almost three hours, and the road conditions here were very bad, so the car kept jolting, and my bones were going to fall apart.
Finally, at noon, I came to the place where I was working.
There are almost no people, and as far as the eye can see, there are rice crops to be harvested, all ripe and waiting to be harvested.
The land is not endless, but full of potholes, slopes, depressions, and almost a few meters of flat land.
It is precisely because of this that large harvesters cannot come in, otherwise they will not spend a lot of money on labor.
Everyone jumped out of the car one after another, and those who were sleeping were instantly in good spirits.
The white sister-in-law came over and told us loudly what we should pay attention to, basically how to work, she does not interfere, one person and one piece of land tasks, and you can get money after you finish it.
"I have drawn a place for you, and I will choose a piece of it for each of you, and it will be done in seven days, and after cutting the rice, I will throw it on the flat ground here. I'll give you a hundred and forty dollars as soon as you're done, and if you do it quickly and complete the task, I'll add thirty dollars to each of you! ”
Everyone cheered, and I was particularly surprised that I could earn nearly 200 yuan in seven days! My eldest brother is digging a well outside, and he will only give less than a hundred yuan in ten days, which is already an astronomical amount!
Sister-in-law Bai said: "Those who count the salary, take it once a day, and some take it together, you choose it yourself." ”
Most of the people chose a one-time one, because it was not the first time to come to work, they believed in her very much, and even if they took the money, it was inconvenient to hide.
The white sister-in-law smiled: "Okay, you all go and choose the land!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the gang rushed into the rice field like crazy. They enclosed the plot of land they had chosen with their own clothes or hats or stuff like that. They are all very experienced, so I can choose which one is the best to work for, and when I was stunned, I was left with only one big ridge in the distance that was the most difficult and tiring.
It's the farthest away from the flat land where the rice is kept, and the area is the largest, so no one wants to do it.
I smiled helplessly, it was really a huge test.
Sister-in-law Bai came over and patted me on the shoulder: "How is it, are you going to retreat now?" If it's too late to regret it, I can have the driver just send you back when he gets home. ”
"Nope!" I said firmly, "I have strength, I am not afraid." ”
"Okay, you go get the tools, and besides, I only have two meals a day here, so you'd better go to the nearby shop and buy some bread or something, otherwise if you can't eat and grab them, the food will be gone, and you will starve." I'll go to the shed and cook for you. ”
She said and left. In the open space in front of the rice paddies, there is a makeshift straw shed made of wood, which is full of tatters, which is a place for cooking and resting.
After a while, black smoke was seen rising from the lawn.
I walked over to get the tools, and by this time those people were already working quickly in the field, they were here to make money, so it was completely different from the lazy attitude in the car, one by one bent over and without raising their heads to cut the rice, not a single one spoke.
Especially Sun Laosi, like a yak, he didn't raise his head, humming, and soon there was a hill of rice on the ground in front of him.
I can't just stand and watch, and go in with a scythe and go to work.
I thought that although I was not as good as my eldest brother in the field, I was already a veteran, but compared with them, it was really not good at all, and my waist was about to break like a pain, and my hands were working hard with gloves, but when I took off my gloves, my hands hurt terribly, so I could only put them on and take them off like this, and I kept repeating them after taking them off.
The sweat on my head kept flowing down like rain, dripping into my eyes, and I didn't have time to wipe it off.
Although it was past noon, it was still hot and people were going to faint, and there was no clean water here, so when you were thirsty, you had to go to the ditch next to you to get the tap water pipe to water the ground and take two sips. I saw someone holding a water pipe and pouring it on their bodies and heads, and it was probably hot to death.
When two people come out to work, they can help each other and take a break occasionally, but I can only rely on myself.
In front of me was the endless rice, and it felt like I had entered a strange and lonely world, and the only thing I could do was keep working, working...
Finally, I heard someone shouting, "Call it a day and eat!" ”
Everyone agreed to go out, and I laboriously carried the bundle back and piled it into a small hill. And the rice piled up by those people around me is basically a mountain of rice.
I'm very anxious, can I do it at this speed?
Everyone was too tired, and some people were lying next to the rice and wheezing.
There were also two daughters-in-law who sat there and cried, they seemed to be coming for the first time, but they really couldn't stand it. After discussing it, they helped each other to find the white sister-in-law, calculated a little salary, and then left directly.
Because the white sister-in-law made it clear in advance that if she couldn't do it, she could only give a few yuan, so they were grateful and left with three yuan.
This kind of thing happens every year, and everyone is not surprised.
At this time, the smell of rice wafted from the straw shed in front, and everyone rinsed it off the faucet, and then went to eat.
I rubbed my shoulders and walked in, looking at the sun, I found that I had been working for almost five hours before I knew it, no wonder I was dying of exhaustion.
"It's time to eat! The old rule, two bowls of rice per person, if it is not enough, you will order it! ”
Everyone agreed, and began to rush in like crazy again, and the grass hut was full of the smell of smoke. A small light bulb like a hawthorn is on the roof of the shed, and the room is not small, on the right is a simple floor with a kang mattress, and on the left is a large stove that smokes everywhere, and a dirty big black pot sits on it.
When I opened the lid of the cauldron, I saw that it was steaming hot, and inside was steamed rice. Someone put a big pot of fried cabbage and potato chips on it, and there was no oil star at all, and this was our food.
But even such a dish is going to be rushed, so I took a rice spoon and fished out two spoonfuls of potato chips from the gap between these people, added a little soup, and ate like this.
Sun Laosi didn't like to eat this dish, so he simply took the soy sauce bottle and poured a lot of soy sauce into the rice, and ate it directly with rice. I saw that his big bowl was black inside, and I felt very uncomfortable.
Although the bowl is made of rice, it is basically a mixture of porridge and rice, some of the rice grains are not very cooked, and there is a lot of gravel, but the big guys also eat it all.
Because there are not enough chopsticks, some people use their own lunch boxes, plastic boxes, and even thermos caps to serve rice. I couldn't grab them because I ate slowly, so the second bowl was only half a bowl.
I mixed the vegetable soup in the pot and sat there, crying while eating. I didn't really feel that it was too hard, but the tears kept flowing, probably because my arm hurt too much.
At this time, a woman came and took a large spoonful of rice from her bowl and put it in my bowl.
"Eat more, how can you eat like this?"
I hurriedly thanked her, vaguely remembering her, as if it was a woman from the next village, she was in her forties, tall and strong.
She said, "You need to be a little more attentive, haven't you heard of anyone?" One bowl is flat, and two bowls are full. When you eat the first bowl, just hold a little bit, and when you're done, hurry over and serve the second bowl, this time you have to hold it down to the end. You have to do it, or you're going to starve! ”
"I see, thank you, auntie."
"Thank you? It's really hard for you to come out and do such work at such a young age. You can just call me Aunt Fang, and ask me if you don't understand anything. ”
My heart ached, and I thought to myself, what would my mother think if she saw me doing such a hard job?
Nine times out of ten, she's just concerned about how much money I'm getting, right? Thinking of the second brother who is already fat and not decent, if he comes to work, it is estimated that he will die here in a day.
After eating, we washed up briefly and then got ready for bed.
This is the Chase Shop, men and women are in a room, the man sleeps near the door, put some straw in the middle and a lot of sundries, and after about two meters is the woman's position.
Aunt Fang slept next to me and whispered to me: "Those men sometimes get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, they may come over to be hairy, you are so good-looking, it is estimated that you will be targeted, I will protect you, if anyone dares to bully you, you call me, otherwise they will get cheap, and they will come to you, and your reputation will not be good at that time." ”
I was very angry: "It's too much! Why do they do bad things, but we have a bad reputation? ”
"No way, this is our woman's life." Aunt Fang sighed.
I feel very helpless, but I can't fight against this trend alone, after all, I'm not a white sister-in-law.
