Chapter 3: Sweating Like Rain
"Hello Captain Ye, this is a new educated youth, Comrade Zhong Yuxiu; She's in good health and wants to come to work, so I'll have to make arrangements. Jiang Mei was the first to speak, "Comrade Zhong, this is the captain of our production team in front of you, surnamed Ye." ”
"Hello Captain Ye."
The look of surprise on Captain Ye's dark face was fleeting, and his gaze turned, "Okay?" ”
"Yes, Captain Ye, I can go to the ground." Zhong Yuxiu bowed her head seriously and replied firmly.
"Okay, you work with Jiang Zhiqing and Sun Zhiqing, and remember to find a scorekeeper to record the work after work." Captain Ye had a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Captain Ye." The eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, and Zhong Yuxiu thanked him with a smile.
Jiang Mei and Sun Ruhong pulled her down to the ground with a smile, and as soon as the person left, the scorekeeper next to her came over.
"Uncle, was that a new educated youth just now?" The scorekeeper is a slightly shorter man, a close relative of the captain, also surnamed Ye.
Captain Ye glanced at him, "Well, it's called Zhong Yuxiu; The vision is clear and upright, it is a good one, and it will not be bad to do it well in the future. ”
The scorekeeper smiled, nodded in agreement, and said secretly: It's all good if you don't have a moth.
The educated youths of the next few communes made a lot of trouble, and the educated youths of their production team were worry-free and never made trouble.
On the ridge, Zhong Yuxiu learned from Jiang Mei and Sun Ruhong, and followed him down with his trouser legs; The leeches visible to the naked eye in the field floated one by one, and the heart was chaotic.
"Sister Jiang Mei, Sister Ruhong, why are there so many insects in the field?"
There are no such bugs in the interstellar world, the zergs are all big guys, and they all have ideology.
"That's a leech, it sucks blood, and when it catches someone, it burrows into the pores; Be careful, your legs and feet must not be exposed. Sun Ruhong smiled and was very tolerant of her, she was like this when she first went to the countryside, and everyone came over like this, "Don't be afraid, as long as the trouser legs don't slip, they won't bite you." ”
Zhong Yuxiu shuddered, "Isn't this terrible? ”
"What is terrible about leeches, the water snakes in the field are terrible, and it's good to encounter those who are not poisonous; If you encounter a poisonous one, you have to take a bite and send it to the county hospital. Jiang Mei gave her a roll of her eyes.
"Snakes? There was snake meat to eat. "The psychic ability is barely usable, but it's still possible to kill a snake.
Jiang Mei and Sun Ruhong looked at each other, not knowing what to say, "Hurry up and cut the rice, we will be deducted if we are seen gossiping here." ”
"Oh."
Zhong Yuxiu carried a sickle and followed the two of them as if they were cutting rice, probably with the blessing of spiritual power, and they were very fast in learning things; At first, it was slow, and the people watching were anxious, but fortunately, Jiang Mei and the others came over like this, and they didn't urge. Slowly, her speed became faster and faster, and her sword was accurate and ruthless, and in a short time, she surpassed the two of them.
Jiang Mei and the others have a little more affection for her, and the educated youths in the city and the countryside have a run-in period; When they accept the status quo and adapt to the life in the countryside, they will be able to work as openly as they do, but they didn't expect that Zhong Yuxiu, a little girl, would adapt faster than they expected.
It's good that they can be less burdensome and don't have to be so tired when they work.
"Yuxiu, let's go to the shade of the tree to rest for a while, it's too hot." Sun Ruhong shouted.
Zhong Yuxiu looked up, Jiang Mei and Sun Ruhong both went ashore, found a big tree, and enjoyed the shade under the shade; There are still many members under the big tree where they are, and it is common for them to take a break and work when it is too hot.
"Yuxiu, come up, do it later, don't get heat stroke."
Jiang Mei and Sun Ruhong's titles have changed, and they recognize the little girl in disguise.
Zhong Yuxiu sweated and rained, looked up and smiled, "It's okay, I'm not very hot yet, you guys rest for a while, I'll do more." ”
The smile warms her heart, Jiang and Sun's good impression of her has risen sharply, and the female intellectuals also have fewer benefits, the intrigue is greatly reduced, and they get along quite happily.
The three of them shared a large field, Zhong Yuxiu finished her small half, and went to help Jiang Mei and Sun Ruhong finish it; In the evening, the remnant sun was slanting westward, and the three of them found the scorekeeper together to record the work before returning to Zhiqing Point.
The male intellectuals have not yet returned, and as strong laborers, they have been allocated more fields than the female intellectuals.
The three of them changed out of their soaked clothes and pants and soaked them in water.
"Yuxiu, your body is just right, and you're tired again in the afternoon, go back to the house to rest for a while." Sun Ruhong smiled and felt emotional.
Jiang Mei did the same, "Go back to the house, I'll cook with Ruhong, and I'll call you when they come back." ”
The eyes of the two were firm and bright, Zhong Yuxiu smiled, "I'm really a little tired, so I'll go back to the house and lie down for a while, there are Sister Lao Ruhong and Sister Jiang Mei." ”
"Yes, you go and rest." Sun Ru smiled with red eyebrows and pushed the person into the house; Turning around and talking and laughing with Jiang Mei, the two washed vegetables and cooked on the fire, chatting while talking, "Yuxiu is really a good comrade, and I didn't shout heat on such a hot day outside." ”
Jiang Mei bowed her head, and a smile appeared on her wheat-colored face, "It's better to have a well-wrung educated youth than a-stirring stick." ”
"Not really!"
cooked a meal, boiled hot water, and the two discussed to take a bath, and by the way, they also helped Zhong Yuxiu carry a bucket of hot water to the bathroom; When the two went back to the room to get their clothes, they called Zhong Yuxiu, who was paralyzed on the bed, and the three of them took a bath together.
After washing it with hot water, it is refreshing and cool, and the smell of sweat is gone.
"Sister Ruhong, Sister Jiang Mei, is there still hot water in the pot?"
Jiang Mei walked out with dirty clothes, "Yes, you want to wash your hair?" ”
"It's time to wash it, it's smelly." Sun Ruhong glanced at her hair, after working in the afternoon, her hair was greasy, "There is still a big pot of hot water in the pot, you scoop the hot water, and then mix some cold water to go back; There are sparks in the stove, which can warm the water, and they will have to wash it when the male intellectuals come back. ”
Zhong Yuxiu said that she understood, twisted the bucket to go to the stove room, fetched water and squatted on the steps to wash; The original owner had short hair, and she was on the train for four days, and when she got here, she was sick for two days, which means that she hadn't washed her hair for a week.
The original owner didn't bring anything valuable, and there was nothing to take a shower and wash his hair; You can only wash the smell of sweat with water; At least it can make your hair feel fresher and less sweaty.
Zhong Yuxiu washed her hair, wiped it at will, and went to the bathroom to get dirty clothes; Squatted to the well, and washed the clothes with Jiang Mei and Sun Ruhong, and the laundry was made of grass and wood ash.
"Yuxiu! I've got soap here for you. Sun Ruhong looked at the person sympathetically, and handed over the soap in his hand.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head, "Thank you, Sister Ruhong, the clothes on a hot day are not dirty, just rub them." ”
"It's easy to stink if you don't wash your clothes."
"The sun is big, it can't stink." I owe a lot of favors and can't pay it back.
When the original owner went to the countryside, he had no money or a ticket, and he had to live like this for a while now; Rather than being frugal from luxury, it is better to be bitter now and find the income later.
When night fell, the male intellectuals returned together and ate around the table; The female intellectuals went back to sleep, and the male intellectuals cleaned up the courtyard of the stove room, and it was not until the dark night hit the courtyard that it was quiet.
