Qin Zhongliang has not been idle since he got up at dawn. First, he informed Qin Gao and Huanqing's family to cook early, and asked them to eat early and leave early to go to the commune with him to bring back the oil for the lunch season, and then look at the situation of the trailer. It's late, nearly sixty miles back and forth, and you can't start returning before twelve o'clock, and the three of you have to eat in a restaurant, which is everyone's hard-earned money! He was reluctant. Qin Gao wanted to send him back first with a bicycle, he couldn't do that, he didn't want to be special than the members. Let Huanqing stretch out his head and pull a flatbed truck weighing hundreds of pounds to sweat more on uneven dirt roads, he can't do that. He used his injured arm and shoulder, endured the pain, and pulled hard, and walked forward together. After coming back, after eating, his unsupportable body needed rest, but the noon harvest was imminent, and he could not help but arrange the work for the afternoon, pour water on the large noodles, and prepare for rolling and drying tomorrow, and opening the sickle for harvest. In order for everyone to have food, a full meal, and fine noodles to eat, he didn't want to use his status as a captain as an excuse to do less or not to do it. On the contrary, he took the lead and did more than others to feel comfortable and have a clear conscience. He was tired, and when he got home, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep, without washing his hands, his face, or his feet, and without even taking off his shoes. My lover, sister-in-law Wang, knew that her husband was tired, so she brought hot water, tried it too hot, scooped cold water and added it, tried it a little cold, poured some hot water and added it, and tried it with her hands until it was neither hot nor cold, and then washed his face with a towel, and then took off his shoes and washed his feet, and gently moved his feet to the bed and put them in the quilt. She didn't want to alarm him, she wanted him to rest for a while, rest for a while, but the rice in the pot would be cold when the fire stopped! She knew that her husband's stomach was not good and he would be uncomfortable eating cold food, so she could only bear to call her husband to get up and eat something before going to sleep. She shouted over and over again, but her husband just told her and the child to eat first, saying that he wanted to sleep a little longer. She couldn't wake him up, she gently shook him with her hand, and finally woke him up. Qin Zhongliang dragged his tired body, got up and ate two bowls of noodles, and then fell asleep on the bed again. He needs a break so much! ”

The tired body did not affect Qin Zhongliang's early riser. At four o'clock he opened his eyes, got out of bed, went to the door to see that it was not yet dawn, and came back to sleep for a while. At five o'clock, when the day dawned, he began to greet the workers from house to house and began to harvest: "Today the noon harvest begins, each family leaves one person to cook breakfast at home, and the rest all carry sickles to the field at the south end of the field to cut wheat, and calculate the labor according to the number of acres of wheat, and get more work!" Quan Zhuang shouted again and went home, asked his eldest daughter to cook at home, and went to work with his lover Wang Sister-in-law, holding a sickle.

Gold paves the ground, young and old bend over. On the field, the water just poured yesterday afternoon needs to be moistened and whitened before it can be sprinkled with chaff and rolled. There are those who cut six or seven ridges, and there are those who take ten ridges and eight ridges, and each person decides according to his own speed, and the clerk writes down the number of ridges of each person. Everyone chased after me, scrambling to be the first, and the sickle made a "stabbing and stabbing" sound. Some of the fast wheat harvesters, the sickles flew quickly in their hands, making a "whooshing" sound. Zhu Yan, Liu Erxia, Wang Sister-in-law, Zhang Xiaomei, Ma Yuan, etc., leaned down, stretched out the sickle, flew like a swallow, galloped forward, Zuo Hong, Yuye followed, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang chased after her, Da Niu, Bao Lian rushed in front, Qin Gao, Lian'er was not far behind, Huanqing, Da Ling sometimes beat his back, sometimes stretched out his sickle, it can be said: I like to see the rice mille-feuille Lang, and the heroes everywhere welcome the morning glow.

There are many people who can work. A piece of land of fifty or sixty acres was occupied by one or two hundred people. Those who cut the ground in advance felt that it would take a while for the people behind to catch up, so they wanted to re-tie up and take the lead, and asked Qin Zhongliang: "Captain, which piece to cut?" ”

"A piece to the east!" Qin Zhongliang pointed his finger and said, "Go home and have breakfast, sharpen the sickle and cut again!" ”

"Nope! I'll take two less ridges, and when the people behind them cut the ground, I'm almost done! Zhu Yan said, and together with Liu Erxia, they went to the east to make a trip.

"Don't die! Second hero, Zhu Yan! No matter how busy you are, you have to eat! If you can cut it all in one go, I'll be with you! Zuo Hong, who was tired and panting, said to the two of them.

"Eat. Let's go early and come back early! Zhu Yan agreed, took the sickle and went home with Liu Erxia and Zuo Hong for breakfast.

Qin Zhongliang saw that most of the people had already cut their heads, only a few people had not reached their heads, and saw that the sun had risen to more than three poles, and estimated that it was not far from eight o'clock, so he beckoned and said: "You can go back to breakfast, if you don't cut your head, you can continue to cut after eating, anyway, the east one is not far from this land, next to each other." ”

If you cut your head in advance, you feel that your waist is a little sore, and you are hungry with a "gurgling" sound in your stomach, so you go home to eat; If you take it wider and slower, hold on for a while, and then cut it to the end before going back.

After breakfast, Qin Zhongliang saw that the scene was already dry, and arranged for four or five people to sprinkle chaff and roll it, while the rest were still cutting wheat. The time is in your own hands, you can go to work a little earlier, you can go to work a little later, you can finish work a little earlier, or you can finish work later, but you are not allowed to do nothing. The clerk can take time to go home for dinner, carefully remember the number of wheat ridges cut by each person, and calculate the acres of land so as to calculate the work score.

In this way, it was cut for three days in a row, and the progress was very fast. Qin Zhongliang saw that the wheat that had been harvested early had been dried in the ground, so he took out the young and middle-aged male laborers, pulled and beaten, and arranged one person to be responsible for all kinds of work, each performing his own duties. The one who pulls the wheat from the field is responsible for pulling all the dry wheat from the field to the field; On the field, as long as the wheat is dry, it will be threshed, and the two groups of people will cooperate with each other without separating their families. If you can play two games a day, you can play two games, and if you can play three games, you can play three games. Yangchang, taking advantage of the time when the sun is westward in the morning or afternoon, and the wind can also be raised at night; Dry harvest, wet dry; Those who cut wheat can only have more than enough to cut on the field, not enough.

Students who are on vacation in primary and secondary schools, college students use baskets to follow Lamai's cart to pick up wheat ears, and primary school students bring bags or small buckets to pick up ears of wheat. College students, your basket sticks to my basket, my basket is next to your basket, following behind the loading car, hugging the basket without falling to the ground, picking it down, gathering into a pile, letting the adults load it into the car, and then hugging it, and then picking it up and concentrating it; Elementary school students carefully pick up ears of wheat on the ground.

The captain was well organized and unorganized. Strive to cut a piece, pull a piece, hit a piece, clean a piece.

All wishes come true, and the sky is as people wish. After a week, it didn't rain. After calculating the entire number of acres, more than half of it has been cut. The Lamech and the men who fought were one group, and when they could not fight, they all went into the field. Four-wheeled carts and ox carts are all used, and Dora runs fast; Pull enough to fight on the field, stop immediately, unload the trailer, set the livestock, start the machine, threshing the threshing, turning the wheat and turning the wheat; Roll this way, roll this way, roll well that side; There are many adults in the field, and they do not affect each other. Rolled over and over again, turned over and rolled two layers, until there was no grain on the ears of wheat, everyone began to pick wheat straw, stacks, and gather the rolled grain into piles, and then spread, roll, turn, pick, stack, gather, reciprocate, and reciprocate, until the sun is weak, and then stop threshing. Then, the Jan of the Young, the Pull of the La. At night, they can't pull it, so they concentrate on the field to raise the field, return the sun-dried grain to the warehouse, vacate the space, maintain the scene, and prepare for the next day's stall.
