Chapter 472: Summer Food

Time flashed by, and in June, the school began to issue notices to go to the countryside to pull wheat.

For participating in farm work, Zhou Jiao had already expected it.

After Qingming, every time she went home, she saw a lot of open space along the way, and farmland was reclaimed inside and outside the wall, and she knew that the task would not be easy this summer.

For this event, Zhou Jiao hid the truth from her father, and only said that her task was not heavy, which made the busy Zhou Xiaozheng also fooled for a while.

Pulling wheat - it sounds incredible, but for so many years, the farmers have been reluctant to cut it, and they have indeed pulled wheat.

Why? In addition to the main ears of wheat, even the roots are treasures - after the roots are removed, the roots are cut off with a guillotine, and the roots can be dried and cooked on a fire.

Wheat straw is more useful, such as draping the roof as a tile, making curtains, and can also be used to pinch grass braids. After the busy farming, each production brigade will arrange for women to pinch their braids, and the grass braids can be sold for a lot of money, and the accumulation is also a considerable annual income for the team.

Zhou Jiao's first class and third class were assigned to the nearby countryside, and there were farmers who had worked with the land all their lives, which was much easier than some students in the school who went to remote farms.

Zhou Jiao was secretly glad that it didn't take long to get the news, this time, in addition to the students, the cadres and soldiers/soldiers all went to the countryside to pull wheat, and the pressure suddenly increased.

There will be competition when there are many people, and when there is competition, there will be a product/pole/sub, and once there is a product/pole/sub, no one dares to be lazy. Such a vicious circle, tired to death, you have to stand up.

More than 100 students were children, and as soon as the sky was bright, it went downhill.

No matter how Zhang Guoqing protects his daughter-in-law, Zhou Jiao has no special treatment. Today, all the girls are assigned to pull 3 Long, and there are more boys - 5 Long!

That's it, last night there was a female neuropathy shouting about the equality of men and women, and they were divided into 4 longs. If it weren't for the inopportune time, Zhou Jiao would definitely slap it over.

Facing the wheat that could not be seen at a glance, Zhou Jiao closed her eyes fiercely. She is really living a suffocating life and has space, what is she tossing so for?

No matter how many ideas she has, she can't just run away now. Especially not far from him, there is a worried Zhang Guoqing.

Zhou Jiao stretched out her fist and demonstrated at him: "Little meaning! ”

Zhang Guoqing's eyes were melancholy, and he said with deep meaning: "You have serious anemia, you can't be strong, otherwise you will have to go to the hospital." ”

The couple was playing the trap, and the classmates on the side were worried.

All this made Yi Jiefang, who was on the left, look up at the sky and roll his eyes fiercely a few times. This pair of husband and wife, dog/fart anemia, is still in the hospital? He looked at tooth acid.

The most hateful thing is that he has to be in the same stream, is he also anemic?

"Okay, students who are not in good health, everyone try to help each other as much as possible. Hurry up and work hard. Don't ink, the third shift is dry. ”

Zhou Jiao smiled, learned everyone to do a good job of protection, and walked to their own task goals.

After the simple "training" of the uncles, Zhou Jiao knew that in order to drop the soil from the roots, every time she pulled a handful of wheat, she had to stand with her right leg, lift her left foot, grasp the wheat with both hands, and beat it her feet until the soil was clean.

But the reality told her that it was so tiring and painful.

There is a saying called "back pain, back pain, neck sleepiness", if you want to understand the meaning of this sentence, welcome to play wheat. Zhou Jiao admires the words of her ancestors the most.

Now she will squat for a while, and she will bend her waist for a while, and she wants to rest for a while, but she is worried that she will not be able to catch up with the progress of others, so she stands up and looks into the distance.

His hands were hot and painful, and seeing that the left side was far away except for Zhang Guoqing in the distance, the right side was far away, so Zhou Jiao took the line of gloves and put them on. She was worried that she would be too late to get enough water, and she really couldn't do it.

In the early morning, the ground is damp and relatively easy to pull, and the more it is noon, the sun is hot, the difficulty becomes more and more, and the stimulation of the wheat mango to the skin, sweat keeps flowing...... Such a sour feeling made Zhou Jiao unforgettable for the rest of her life.

Zhang Guoqing quickly pulled out for half an hour every time, sneaked to the little daughter-in-law's side, covered her, asked her to drink saliva, eat a popsicle, and rubbed two mouthfuls happily, while not forgetting to help with the work.

The little couple worked secretly and amused, and hurriedly avoided it as soon as someone came up. It can be regarded as adding a lot of fun to the boring and hard farm work.

At about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, I finally saw the horn shouting to rest and eat.

After eating two vegetable dumplings, Zhou Jiao handed the rest to Zhang Guoqing, leaned softly against the shade of the tree, looked at the trunk of the destroyed few leaves, and touched her knees.

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing asked her in a low voice, "Does it hurt?" ”

Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head. She didn't plan to tell him that this fool was doing two-person work in the morning, and if she hurt again, then the last one was unconcealed, so why did she have to help?

"I now kind of understand why you had to make us classmates."

Zhang Guoqing shook his head and smiled bitterly. Can he say that he regrets a little, he should have let Zhou Jiao go to work directly, he thought that college life would make her easier, but the reality is not optimistic.

Zhou Jiao smiled comfortingly at him. What the husband and wife think about each other can be understood at a glance. Compared to going to work, campus life is really not hard for her.

Now that the situation is like this, I have to go to the countryside to support the farmers when I go to work. Unless they leave their homeland, the land that gave birth to them.

But Zhou Jiao has never had such an idea, let alone the existence of her father now. Not desperate, she didn't want to leave these relatives.

After working for more than ten days in a row, they pulled wheat on one side, and the team used blindfolded donkeys to turn and roll in circles, and when they were finished, the wheat was piled up like a hill.

I finally finished my work and watched the experienced old people in the drying field use wooden shovels to raise the field.

The shovel of wheat was lifted into the air like a rain, and the bran was blown away by the wind, and the wheat grains were piled up on one side, and piled up into a golden mountain of wheat.

Looking at the harvest and looking at the smiles around them, these are their credits, and no matter how hard they work, it is worth it.

"Toufu radish, Erfu cabbage."

I didn't have a day off, and the next task was to sow Chinese cabbage in the freshly pulled wheat field.

In order to catch up with the growing Chinese cabbage in early November, everyone was busy for a long time in the dark.

After nearly a month of busy farming, even if the coarse grain prepared was enough for everyone to eat, the hard farm work still made everyone lose a lot of weight.

Fortunately, the husband and wife belong to the physique of not tanning, especially Zhou Jiao cured the bitter summer this time, and her spirit is fine, otherwise Zhang Guoqing would not dare to see her father-in-law.

As soon as the farm work was over, the school had just announced a day off, and the couple who were anxious about Si'er were like arrows at this moment, and they couldn't care about the sleepiness and hurried home by car.

Born safely, the couple has not been away from their children for so long. When they returned to the compound, they hadn't returned home yet, and the two of them took back the shouting peace first.

Listen to my son's milky voice tell about the daily life during this time. Zhou Jiao knew that it was over, and this time she would even be implicated in Xiao Wang, who drove over to visit her.

As soon as she got home, Zhou Jiao didn't care about drinking saliva first, and hurriedly ran to the bedroom to do maintenance first, while not forgetting to let Xiao Ping'an and others see her grandfather to help intercede.

With the arrival of the hot summer days, it is time to move to the seaside office. Zhou Xiaozheng was busy with meetings and arranging work, and by the time he saw his daughter's tanned face, it was already too late.

What can Zhou Xiaozheng do? In addition to the distressed immediate request for the health care doctor to deal with the scars on the hands of the two children, there was only a sigh and more pride - his children stood up fearlessly in the face of all difficulties.
