Concubine Tao glared: "You look at me with some contempt, don't you just pick a cotton, can you stump me?" ”

Zhou Cangnan couldn't bear to hit Concubine Tao, and went to the kitchen to cook with a smile.

Tao Fei Nunuzui, don't you just pick cotton, just pull off the white and fat cotton flowers, what's so difficult about this!

It wasn't until Saturday that Concubine Tao took the students to the cotton field in a big truck to know that picking cotton is not only a technical job, but also a manual work.

In order to make the cotton produce more cotton peaches, the top branches of the cotton will be pinched off to make it not grow tall.

Concubine Tao stood in the ground with a height of one meter six or eight, and the highest cotton reached the thighs, and if you wanted to pick cotton, you had to bend over, and the cotton peach exploded to reveal the white velvet cotton, but the top of the cotton peach shell was sharp and piercing.

Be careful not to prick your hands when you pull them.

The morning and evening of September are a little cool, and the sun starts to heat up after ten o'clock.

There was not a single shade tree around the cotton field, and the whole school was exposed to the sun in the cotton field.

Concubine Tao bent over and picked no two catties, she felt that her waist was about to break, and the cotton after sun exposure was extremely light, and she looked at picking a lot of them, but the result was not heavy.

The students are better than her, and many children are used to growing cotton at home, and two small hands quickly pull the cotton flowers and stuff them into their front pockets.

Concubine Tao stood up straight and pounded her waist, watching the rapid movements of the children's little hands, and sighed in her heart, she is not as good as a child!

Turning his head to look at Sun Lan not far away, it seemed that she was not as good as her, she was still rubbing on the ground for half a day, and she was pulling a cotton flower for half a day.

However, the performance of the principal Li Shujing surprised Concubine Tao, from the morning to the field to distribute the task, Li Shujing tied a pocket in front of her waist, and kept picking cotton next to the second-grade students, the sweat from the sun flowed down her hair, and she had no intention of stopping.

Lunch is also settled in the open space at the head of the field.

The cotton farmer was in charge of lunch, and used a three-wheeled bouncing cart to pull several large buckets of rice.

There is cabbage boiled in the white water, and there is no taste other than saltiness.

Concubine Tao helped to serve food to the students in the class, and she originally had eggs and bread in her bag, but seeing that everyone was eating this, she was embarrassed to take out bread and eggs to eat, so she also went to get a bowl and served a bowl.

Principal Li also put a bowl of noodles, put a chopstick pickle in the bowl, and went to eat with Concubine Tao and them.

Concubine Tao couldn't squat, so she simply sat on the ground, and she had to wash her clothes when she went back anyway.

Li Shujing said with a smile: "Xiao Tao, I still thought that you couldn't endure hardship, but I didn't expect to take a break in the morning." ”

Concubine Tao smiled and said honestly: "It's really tired, I almost want to be a deserter because of my back pain, and I can only grit my teeth and endure it when I see that the children can do it." ”

Li Shujing looked at Concubine Tao with a little surprise, although she kept picking cotton all morning, she also secretly observed these teachers, who was down-to-earth and who was cheating and cheating, she knew at a glance.

These are the little things that reflect a person's true qualities.

On the first day she came to work, when she saw Concubine Tao, she was not optimistic about this girl.

This girl is not only beautiful but also has long eyes, which makes her very suspicious of Concubine Tao's ability to work.

In this more than a week of work, I found that Concubine Tao's teaching work is good, and she is also serious and responsible for the students.

So Li Shujing took a fancy to Concubine Tao and said with a smile: "Xiao Tao is really temperamental, what do you have to say." After speaking, he looked at Sun Lan, who was pouting and eating: "Little Sun, are you tired?" ”

Sun Lan was originally very dissatisfied with the meal, and she complained in her stomach, but when she heard the principal talking to her, she immediately raised a smile and said: "Principal Li, the children are not tired, and I am definitely not tired, but this meal is too unpalatable, and I have wronged these children." ”

Li Shujing smiled and didn't speak, bowing her head and eating the noodles that had become a lump in the bowl.

Concubine Tao glanced at Sun Lan silently, it seems that although this Li Shujing and Sun Lan are both from the city, they are not all the way.

After eating, take a break for half an hour and continue picking cotton.

It wasn't until sunset that cotton farmers drove bouncing carts to the scales.

When it was all weighed, it was dark.

Concubine Tao also had to go to school with the children, and made sure that the parents were coming to pick them up, and the dormitory students all went back to the dormitory, so she dragged her waist home with a broken waist.

After arriving home, Zhou Cangnan hadn't come back, and Concubine Tao took a shower and changed her clothes, and then collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to move.

Her old waist, her legs, it hurts everywhere!

When Zhou Cangnan came back, he saw Concubine Tao lying motionless on the sofa, changed his clothes, washed his hands, went over and sat down next to Concubine Tao, and touched her hair with a smile: "It's very hard." ”

"Hey, this job, it's a pain in the back while standing, a knee pain in the kneeling, and you can't do it on your stomach. I wish it would rain tomorrow so I wouldn't have to go. Concubine Tao muttered and quickly spit out: "Don't let it rain, I heard that after the rain, the cotton grade will be poor, and the cotton farmers can't sell it at a price." ”

Zhou Cangnan smiled and put Concubine Tao's leg on his lap and gently kneaded: "Don't worry, it won't rain much during the entire cotton harvesting period, and if there are dark clouds drifting over, they will be scattered by the cannons, Daniel Zhang and they will go back in a few days, we will invite them to have a meal when we are free." ”

Concubine Tao realized that she had been too busy recently, and she lived in a courtyard, but she didn't see Chen Jiajia and Lin Mengmeng, and said with some concern: "Did Lin Mengmeng go back with her?" She and her eldest brother haven't made it yet, right? ”

"It's not bad to have a fate for a day or two, if you don't have fate, it's useless to be together every day." Zhou Cangnan thought very openly.

Concubine Tao bit her lower lip and thought of a way, if Lin Mengmeng really returned to the capital, these two would definitely be out of play.

Zhou Cangnan touched her head: "What do you want to eat at night?" I'm going to do it now. ”

"Let's cook dumplings, eggplant filling." Concubine Tao said lazily, but she was anxious for Lin Mengmeng in her heart.

The next day was still under the sun, Concubine Tao slept and woke up, feeling that her whole body was hurting, and dragged her half-crippled body to continue to pick cotton.

Fortunately, it only took half a day to go this time, and half a day to rest in the afternoon.

Concubine Tao walked home at a mechanical pace, usually not exercising, and it was a little unbearable to work fiercely.

When I arrived at the gate of the health team, I saw Lin Mengmeng and Chen Jiajia squatting at the door.

"What about you two squatting here as the second general?" Concubine Tao was tired of becoming a dog, and she still didn't forget to make fun of the two sisters.

Lin Mengmeng rolled her eyes and twisted her head to the side with an unhappy expression.

Chen Jiajia was a little angry: "Concubine Tao, do you know what Lin Mengmeng is doing?" She actually went to junior high school to apply for an English substitute teacher, and she actually applied for it! I'm going to work next week, and we're all packing up before she tells me. ”

Concubine Tao looked at Lin Mengmeng, who was sullen, and was a little surprised: "Lin Mengmeng, why don't you tell your sister?" ”
